 Price POV:

 I twitched and rolled over. There was the sound of electricity crackling behind me as I laid there.

 " Okay, Jasmine.... Take it easy.... Just breathe and create a small light in the palm of your hand." Ash spoke as I turned my head to watch what was happening. 

 Ash and Jasmine were standing in the corner of the room. In Jasmine's hand was a small, yellow ball in their hand. Jasmine had the look of pure joy on their face.

 " This.... This is amazing!" they grinned as Ash nodded, " Yeah it is. Now, lower your hand and it should go away." Jas did this and quickly the ball of light disappeared without a trace of it ever existing.

 I smirked as I sat up in bed. I pulled myself out and stood up with my hands in my pants pockets, " Well, you two had fun." I chuckled as Ash and Jas looked over me. The two had small blushes as I kept smiling at them. 

 I looked around the room, " Where's Rik?" I asked them as Rik came in through the door. Rik was holding some steak and carrots in his arms.

 " I went out to gather some food....." Rik beamed as he dumped the food out on top of a chest. 

 I took the steak and stared at it, " Oh, I've missed eating this in this world." I grinned as I took a bite out of the steak. Rik sighed, " Don't get too use to it." he mused as he took a bite out of his carrot.

 We all sat out and ate our foods, " So, we get into the central server and march up to the castle.... Right?" Jas questioned as Ash nodded.

 " That's how it usually is when I head there." he answered as he fixed his glasses. Ash stood up and crossed his arms. The rest of us stood up and gathered our materials. 

 Rik and I watched as Jasmine and Ash took down the temporary shelter. I looked at Rik, " Are you going to tell Jasmine n' Ash about your worries?" I questioned as he shook his head, " No way Pricey. Ash and I may be team Rash, but I'm not telling him about my fears."

 I narrowed my eyes at him, " What about the fear about heights?" I raised my eyebrow as Rik sighed, " That's different." he told me as I chuckled slightly. Rik nailed his hoof hand into my side.

 " ABUSE!" I shouted and ran away. Rik let out a screech and chased me, " HALP!" I laughed as Ash and Jasmine started to laugh as well.

 The two of us ran around until Jasmine grabbed Rik and hoisted him into the air. I tripped into Ash's arms and breathed heavily.

 " Running with a peg leg..... Oh god...." I breathed heavily. Ash stood me up as I sighed as I caught my breath.

 I stretched out as I looked towards the portal. Through the portal, we're going to be swapped back to normal. The four of us looked at each other. 

 " You guys re....ready?" Rik wheezed as his tail twitched. The three of us nodded as we all walked towards the glowing vortex in the ground.

 We all stood at the edge of the portal. I frowned, " Why are all the portals in the ground?" I shook my head as the others shrugged, " Ground portals are more entertaining than the portals that you just walk into?" Jas questioned with a cross of their arms.

 Ash looked into the portal, " That's probably the answer." they smirked as they cannonballed into the portal, " WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" they screamed as they disappeared.

 Jasmine quickly followed and so did Rik. I shook my head, " My question is how do we get back to this world after we go in." I tapped my peg leg against the ground. I shook my head, " We'll figure it out later." I took a few steps back, held my breath, and took a running leap into the portal.

 ((Travel s k ip..... the author stands around and is sitting on her throne, " Why....." the thing returns to possess the author, " H e ll h a s c o m e e a r l y....." they grin))

 I yelped as I somehow landed on my feet on the other side of the portal. Ash, Jasmine, and Rik were talking to the gatekeeper.

 The gatekeep was a short African American man with blue dyed hair and a long axolotl tail that twitched on occasion.

 " I told you three that Sendrick doesn't want ya'll to go up there." the man spoke in a tired tone. Ash crossed their arms, " Quinn. The four of us have powers. We can fight what's up there in that castle." they sighed as the Quinn guy shook his head.

 Quinn leaned against the building, " Those hermits disappeared up there not too long ago. We'd rather not have any more of you go missing." he stated as the rest of us looked at each other. 

 Jasmine let out a sigh, " We need this adventure to end Quinn. Please, let us get our bodies swapped back to normal." they sighed as Quinn looked down, " S would want ya'll to be back to normal." he muttered as he opened the gate.

 The four of quickly thanked the man and hurried up the hill towards the castle. It took only a few minutes to reach the top, enter the castle, and climb up the stairs.
