After the prophecies were out of the conversation, Asher was thrilled to go to King Ryleigh’s in hopes of gaining power. So that morning Dylan went out to catch a boar, and Asher was smelling the ground in hopes of prey. Soon they found themselves in the lighthouse eating grilled deer together. ‘’So how about this?” Dylan started. ‘’I know you want to go to King Ryleigh, so how about we go to him with the head of the Black Eyed Sorceress?”
… Though he agreed Asher was a bit taken aback by what Dylan was saying. Offering a King a head was morbid; but knowing Ryleigh he certainly would be pleased by it. Besides the sorceress was wicked, and Asher had nothing to lose. ‘’We’ll need Toni’s help.’’ Asher suggested. Dylan thought he could do the whole task by himself, undermining the powers of the sorceress. In Asher’s mind the sorceress was degrading, and she deserved to die because of her wickedness…

Later that afternoon the two of them traveled to Toni. Toni greeted both of them as she always did. ‘’We’ve come to you because we need help.’’ Asher meowed. ‘’We want to show up to King Ryleigh with something valuable, and we can’t think of anything except for…’’ He then spoke about decapitating the sorceress. Toni cringed when she heard of this, yet she still agreed to help them. Asher rested on her boot, happy to see her.
… ‘’So here’s the plan,’’ Dylan announced. ‘’Toni we will need you to shapeshift into a butterfly to distract the sorceress.’’ … ‘’Asher, i’ll need you to stay by my side incase this does not go as planned, and then i’ll kill her with my sword.’’ He announced with an unnerving look. Dylan realized this was all about teamwork.
Thunder rippled across the skies, and in an instant Toni transformed into a beautiful dark blue butterfly; she fluttered right above Asher, staring into his eyes as she landed on his nose. Asher found himself staring at her, her tiny butterfly legs tickled between his eyes. Looking at Toni’s butterfly form, Asher found himself amazed by her magick; the edges of her sapphire-blue wings were as dark as shadows. Asher knew behind this memorizing creature, was someone he loved; his instincts did not tell him to catch her.
She fluttered once more, sprinkling his nose with the dust of her wings. She then flew away and headed in the direction of the sorceress. 
‘’Toni is amazing, isn’t she?” Asher spoke to Dylan. Dylan wondered if someone were to catch that butterfly, would Toni herself be hurt?

…
‘’Just stay behind me.’’ Dylan whispered, as he was getting ready to pull out his sword. In the echos of the cave, everyone heard the sorceress speak.. ‘’Yes Caveling, good Caveling.’’ She spoke softly to the roaring beast. ‘’Rawwwahhhh.’’ The creature squealed, he must have needed to be fed. She walked out of the cave, and stood upon her rock, watching over the land.
Toni then flew above her, distracting her…
Dylan emerged from behind the rock, and with one strike of his sword, she was no more. Poof! Toni shapeshifted back into her human-self. ‘’You guys did great.’’ She applauded, turning away from the remains of the sorceress.

‘’I hope the Skeleton King grants you guys.’’ She rejoiced. ‘’As always, it was great seeing you two.’’ …
With that Dylan and Asher left. Asher rejoiced knowing he might have powers by the end of this. Upon dwelling about it, Asher thinks their prophecies were indeed about Toni. Beware of someone you think you know. Asher thought he knew Toni; but her butterfly form was more mysterious than anything he has ever seen. Thinking about this he was overcome with emotion…

Asher explained that on the way there, he wanted to introduce Dylan to Deaser. And soon they found themselves at the Boltcat’s small cabin. ‘’Deaser! Deaser!’’ hearing the yowel of a Boltcat, Volpyx came to the door. ‘’Who are you?” She asked, her red hair blazing like fire. ‘’My friend Asher led me here,’’ Dylan explained. ‘’Asher says this Boltcat is his half-brother,’’ He kneeled down to pet Deaser. Deaser greeted Asher with a flick of his tail. The first thing Dylan noticed, was that Deaser had a slightly robotic voice, that matched with his movements.
Deaser noticed Asher’s tail, and the expression he had was if he was about to faint. ‘’Don’t worry it doesn't hurt anymore.’’ Asher assured.
‘’We have a deal with King Ryleigh, it’s time to go.’’

So they headed to King Ryleigh’s lair; the terrain changed from forest to mountain. Asher explained that him and Deaser once slayed an evil Necromancer in the dark cave. ‘’Well i think your half-brother, is half-robot.’’ Dylan joked.

… Soon the Boltcat and the Sorcerer found themselves right before the Skeleton King. ‘’Hello, i regonize you two.’’ Ryleigh greeted. ‘’King Ryleigh, i have come to you with something of value.’’ ... ‘’The Black Eyed Sorceress, very few people make it past her and live.’’ … ‘’Very impressive Dylan.’’ The Skeleton King nodded. ‘’I’ll trade it to you.’’ Dylan handed it to him. Ryleigh then handed Dylan powerful armor for his arms and legs; It was rare and forged by a witch. ‘’Thank you.’’ He rejoiced. Not expecting it to be heavy, he stood in surprise for a moment. An unreadable emotion was in Dylan’s eyes, as he put on his armor.
‘’And what would Asher like?” King Ryleigh turned to the Boltcat. ‘’Well.’’ …  ‘’I’d like to see if you can grant me a trick or two. We discussed this last Gathering.’’ … ‘’Yes i remember.’’ He spoke.
‘’Listen carefully, if you and your sorcerer, do this for me, i will grant you some mana.’’ He promised. Asher’s ears perked, and he scuffed his paws in excitement. ‘’You must go higher in the mountains, and there is another cave, it is the lair of Orville the King of Flames and Fire; unlike most King’s he is good. But be careful not to be scorched, i want you two to return to me with the dead body of one of his fiery beasts. Do this and i will grand you powers.’’
‘’As you wish King Ryleigh!’’ Asher rejoiced, and both of them bowed before the skeleton.
They said their goodbyes to Ryleigh, and exited his dungeon door; to Orville’s lair they went.

…

To Orville’s lair they went.

…

Instead of a door, his lair was just a hollow cave. ‘’Hello?” Dylan called only to hear his own voice echo back. He briefly looked down at Asher and said ‘’Are you sure this is the right cave.’’ … ‘’I’m quite certain this is what King Ryleigh described.’’ They walked further, stepping in musky water, and hearing the squeal of bats on the cave roof. All of a sudden it got very hot, as if they stepped directly in the pits of hell. Beads of sweat ran down Dylan’s face. ‘’It’s hot in here.’’ Under his armor he was soaking in his own sweat. Asher licked his own fur to cool himself. But the farther they walked, the hotter it got. ‘’I don’t know how much longer i can take this, let’s just kill one of those fiery dogs, or whatever, and leave.’’ He panted. Asher agreed with him, shaking his head. As they approached near the end of his lair, burning lava was in sight, glowing red and black.

Surrounded by the glowing heat of lava, was Orville. There was a concrete path that led straight to him, he did not have a physical body, instead he was a fire phantom, a bright red mass of fire that took the form of a being. And around his bright red throne, were four fiery hounds, all chained to his right hand. ‘’Who is this?” The King of Flames and Fire spoke, his voice higher pitched than that of Beltros. … ‘’It is us.’’ Dylan replied, sweat dripping from his forehead. Asher gazed at the lava below him, that bubbled red and orange. King Orville was a man made of fire, heat radiated off his body, his eyes were fiery orange with no pupils; as a phantom, he went right through everything he touched. ‘’I am Dylan the Sorcerer of the Sea, and this is my Boltcat Asher.’’ He bowed. ‘’I am Orville, but if your feeling formal for some reason, you can address me as King Orville.’’ He said. ‘’What have you come here for?” … ‘’What do i say?” Dylan panicked and whispered to Asher. The only reason they were here was to kill one of his dogs. ‘’We’re here to meet you.’’ Asher intervened. ‘’I do not speak Boltcat!’’ Flames blazed off Orville as he raised his voice. ‘’Orville, we have come to meet you.’’ Dylan spoke on behalf of Asher. Both of them began to walk closer. ‘’Stay there.’’ The Phantom demanded. His orange eyes blazed like the fire he was made of. All his fiery dogs began to bark, their eyes a deep red, their furless flesh was charred and burned, looking very ghoul-like. Their hellish howels brought pain to Asher’s ears. ‘’Come any closer, i’ll sentence you to death.’’ Though Orville was genuinely good, he had rules with horrible consequences. All four of his hellhound-looking dogs, were connected by a chain leash…

Dylan acted fast… In a split second, he ran up to one of the dogs, doing as the Skeleton Lord asked. ‘’Arrarrarr!’’ The other hell-ish canines yiped. Another red eyed canine bit him, but luckily his armor was so tough, it didn’t leave a mark. Quickly he ran out of the exit, with Asher running behind him. ‘’NO!’’ Orville smashed his fiery fist on the ground, causing a ripple in the sea of lava. A loud sizzling echoed on the gravel path. ‘’Run Dylan go!’’ Asher yelled. Soon they ran out of the exit, and down the mountain. 

‘’We did it!’’ They rejoiced, coming to a halt. Dylan’s armor was soaked by the bubbling orange blood of Orville’s fiery dog. It’s lifeless red eyes stared into Asher’s soul. ‘’Alright let’s take this to King Ryleigh!’’ He rejoiced.
For a moment Asher felt bad for taking the life of an innocent man’s (if you could call Orville that) pet. He even went as far as to saying. ‘’Dylan how would you feel if someone killed me all for mana?” Asher felt and uneasy twinge of guilt. ‘’It’s fine Asher, those fiery dogs have killed many people.’’

…

‘’King Ryleigh!’’ … ‘’King Ryleigh!’’ Asher yelled excitedly at his dungeon door. ‘’Asher?” The Skeletal King got up and opened it. Dylan carried the deceased fiery dog. ‘’You did what i asked?!” Ryleigh’s empty ribcage heaved up and down in excitement. ‘’Asher,’’ The King pointed his glowing scepter at him.

‘’I Ryleigh the Skeleton King, grant you the power of invisibility, to heal, both yourself and others, and lastly i give you the power of levitation.’’
