‘’They are?!’’ His voice grew loud with amusement. Soon all the undead ghouls stared at Dylan; as if waiting to be commanded by someone with higher power. ‘’Let me and my boltcat pass.’’ He commanded them. The undead did just as he commanded, backing away from the sorcerer and his pet; and returning to the depths of the forest.
‘’That was impressive.’’ He applauded. Amazed by every aspect of sorcery. ‘’I knew you’d love that trick.’’ He put his staff back in his holster. ‘’Alright the moon is almost full, we have a truce to make.’’ He began to walk at fast speed, Asher quickly followed, pacing himself so as not to run into Dylan’s boots. As Asher approached the spot near the gathering, he spotted scaly green, reptile- humanoids; that he has never seen before.
‘’Ok, now be quiet Asher, the King speaks first.’’ They seated themselves on cut off logs. So many Reptilians were there; everyone who knew magick was here tonight; from Xer to King Ryleigh himself. And even though sorcerers of good and evil attended this event, nobody could get into a battle because they were tied together by peace; and fighting would result in getting cursed by the King…
However this did not stop Dylan from giving a look of hatred at Xer…
Amongst the hundreds of logs everyone used for seats, at the top of a boulder stood a silver throne, everyone who gave a speech sat there. ‘’Greetings Everyone.’’ The King said. ‘’Incase you don’t know, i am Ryleigh the Skeleton King.’’ All in attendance gazed at the living skeleton, and the magick bubbling from within his scepter. ‘’So far, i am the only King on this planet to attain sorcery, and this event has taken place because of a deal i made with King Orville years ago.’’ He announced. Everyone bowed their heads to the royal skeleton. ‘’Now everyone keeps asking me about King Beltros, some say he is causing a lot of trouble, but i will battle him in exchange for one thousand heaps of gold.’’
‘’Now,’’ Ryleigh announced. ‘’We have come here on this sacred night, to settle disputes and to trade powers, is there anything, anyone needs to say to me?” … ‘’Yes!’’ Asher meowed from afar. ‘’Yes Boltcat? Oh wait, we’ve met before, you are Asher.’’ … ‘’Are you a conjurer yet?” … ‘’I am no conjurer.’’ He admitted. ‘’I suppose having a Boltcat here can’t hurt anything, and besides you are a companion of a sorcerer.’’ Ryleigh assured.
‘’Now everyone speak now or forever hold your peace.’’ … ‘’I have something to say!’’ Yelled Toni. The sound of her voice caught Asher’s attention. ‘’And i say this with utmost respect King Ryleigh.’’ … ‘’Please give this Boltcat the powers he wants, if you don’t he will have to travel a long ways to Meredith.’’ She begged.
‘’Believe me sorceress, i would love to help this Boltcat out but i cannot do it at the cost of nothing.’’ Toni saw the lust for power in his dark eyes.
‘’That is my older Brother Dylan,’’ She pointed to him. ‘’He has the power of levitation, couldn't you at least teach Asher a simple trick like that?”
‘’Asher,’’ King Ryleigh turned to him. ‘’When you are not busy, you and your sorcerer can come to my lair, we will discuss this there.’’... ‘’Now this has been settled.’’ He got up from the silver throne and stood beside it.
‘’Really?” Asher whispered to Dylan. ‘’He might give me some powers!”

The next one to stand and give a talk was a reptilian; he introduced himself as Barlow, and talked in a slithery snake-like voice. ‘’Hello, me and my species have come from a place very different from yours.’’ He slithered. Asher watched as the moonlight reflected on his shiny green scales. ‘’We’d like to live on this part of Desmount, but don’t worry, we will not pose a threat like the Ultra-terrestrails do.’’ His unnaturally long tongue briefly swiped over his facial scales; and there was a hint of suspicion in his bright neon pupils. ‘’Does anyone object to this?” He rasped. ‘’Me.’’ Many voices in the crowd echoed…
‘’We already have enough troubles with Ultra-terrestrails, Reptilians have done nothing to prove they are not hostile.’’ An unknown sorcerer said. Barlow adjusted his orange, astronaut-like uniform, and gave a disappointed look. ‘’I don’t care what you mere mortals do, as long as you don’t enter my sea.’’  Xer rasped. This argument was settled when King Ryleigh said, ‘’Many object to this Barlow, it is best if you return to your part of the planet.’’

The next one to sit was Commander Charlie. There was no telling them apart because all Reptilians spoke and looked the same. Charlie, the pilot of the UFO said ‘’I know a lot of you disagree with Barlow, so I am here to make a new offering.’’ … ‘’I think we need to make a medicine to cure spores from ghouls.’’ The crowd looked at him in agreement. While everyone was thinking about this decision, Dylan gazed amongst the crowd, hoping to find someone who looked just like his wicked self.
‘’How many of you agree?” Though as a lizard-person Charlie did not have ears, he was pleased by the voices applauding him. ‘’We have made a cure for Glaria (ghoul spores) before, i know we can do it again.’’ … ‘’Alright,’’ Spoke the Skeleton King. ‘’As of right now you have no cure to offer, so we will agree upon this next year.’’...

The next one to take the throne was a good-hearted sorcerer whom Asher knew, named Ryker.
‘’Hello, i am the Conjurer of Wind.’’ He announced. ‘’I have a deal to make with you reptillians, i have made a cure for Entamoeba Invadens; a parasite you guys are known to carry, i will trade that for the cure to Glaria.’’
Barlow took a moment to think about it, with his scaly hands he itches all over his body. ‘’First i have to go shed my skin.’’ He walked off to the forest. A few moments later Barlow seated himself again, his scales looking brighter and shiner than before. ‘’We’ll accept this deal.’’ He slithered.

Kalcron, Ryker’s Nephew, was the next to speak. The crowd gasped silently, Ryker, a good-hearted sorcerer is related to someone as wicked as Kalcron.
Kalcron who lived in a dimension known as the ‘Evilside’ then took Ryker’s place. ‘’Hello Everyone?” He spoke, his voice deep and powerful. ‘’I shall made a deal with you King Ryleigh.’’ The Dark Sorcerer said. ‘’Kalcron, can’t this wait until after the Gathering?’’ … ‘’Alright.’’ Kalcron replied. His face was concealed by a metal helmet, only his bright red eyes were visible. Only few knew what he looked like behind that mask, but those who did said he looked absolutely horrible; some say he is a half-blood, a disgusting mix of reptile and human.
‘’Would you?” He spoke to the general crowd. ‘’Like to trade these gloves for gold?” Kalcron was about to say mask, but he bit his lip. He wanted to conceal his face forever. 
When no one replied, he angrily got up from the throne.
…

‘’I am a Sorceress of Many Powers.’’ Toni took the throne. ‘’And i want to make a deal with you,’’ She pointed to the Black Eyed Sorceress. ‘’What is it?” The Sorceress asked, her voice was doll-like. No one has heard her speak until now. ‘’Will you trade me water magick for moon magick?” She offered. This was the one day of the year, where everyone was allowed to trade powers. The sorceress was thinking for a moment; Toni did not know what to address her as, because she did not have a name. ‘’I will not trade you.’’ She hissed. She needed the powers of the moon to protect the Caveling.
No one agreed to trading with Toni.

And atlas. 
After the gathering, a Reptilian named Hendrix then walked up to Dylan. ‘’This is for you.’’ He handed him a palm full of crystals; and Dylan was disgusted touching his scaly hand. ‘’Trade some to King’s if you like, but these crystals give dreams that are prophecies.’’ … ‘’Thank you.’’ The Sea Sorcerer replied.

King Ryleigh announced the Gathering as over, and everyone was getting ready to walk back to their homes. King Ryleigh went back to his lair, Kalcron teleported to the Evilside, Reptilians flew back in their UFOs, Toni traveled back to her cabin, and Asher and Dylan returned to their lighthouse.

That night Asher was thrilled, perhaps he will gain a few powers from King Ryleigh.
