Chapter Twenty Nine

‘’Let’s do it!’’ Asher exclaimed. ‘’Remember Dylan? The more enemies we slay, the more knowledge we gain?!” … ‘’Yeah, but a wizard? those are powerful!’’ … Asher’s weakness was that sometimes he was a little too excited about battles he could not win.
‘’Please,’’ Toni pleaded. ‘’One of you need to kill him.’’ … Asher and Dylan exchanged looks, both of them shrugged and decided to help her. ‘’Toni, you are a Sorceress of Many Powers." … ‘’So together us three can kill a wizard!’’ He cheered.

… ‘’Alright the Wizard Abaris, lives near here.’’ She pointed to a spot in the forest near her cabin. ‘’Asher, can you pick up his scent?” She asked. He lowered his nose to the ground, the first scent he picked up was the flowery, sweet fragrance of Toni, next was Dylan who smelt very similar to Beltros. (Because his armor holds an ocean fragrance) Asher also picked up traces of rabbit, and in the mix there was something else, something he did not recognize… ‘’That way!’’ He commanded.

‘’Abaris! He’s right there!’’ Toni whispered. He looked just like an average wizard, long grey beard, blue gown and pointy hat covered in stars. ‘’Abaris! My sister says you have been terrorizing her!’’ He pulled his staff out of his armor. ‘’Toni needs to give me her powers!’’ Abaris yelled. This wizard was once a knight, and his dabbling in magick led to the death of many people; since then knights have been forbidden from sorcery; and any knight accused of magick will instantly be put to death.  ‘’Are you going to fight me sorcerer?!’’ He challenged, holding his twisted staff. ‘’If i have too!’’ Dylan yelled. He shot arrows made of water at the wizard. Asher knew him and Toni needed to join in the fight. Toni casted balls of fire and ice at Abaris. While Asher, having a difficult time using his powers, began to levitate rocks at the wizard.
At last Dylan, using the mana he got from Gage, shot shards of glass at Abaris. And this battle was all over, when Toni shot blasts of fire at him…

‘’We did it!” Asher beamed. ‘’Of course we did!’’ Toni applauded. They tried not to look at the dead wizard on the ground. Strangely Asher felt like when he was around Toni, was the only time he escaped from the shock and pain of everything tragic that happened to him.
After fetching her more water, Dylan and Asher then left…

From the corner of his eye something yellow caught his attention, a Wish Weed… Not wanting Dylan to see it, he hid behind a tree, and privately made wishes, he has been wanting to make a wish for a long time…

I Asher the Conjurer, only have one wish.

I wish for the memories to go away,
I’m sick of thinking about how Regan was never my real mom,
Or how Gabriel murdered my Dad and Aunt,
Just take these memories away…
