Asher cheerfully followed Guy, the man who founded him stranded and lost in the desert and the first human he’s met since leaving home, as the man excitedly talks about the job, he’s getting Asher to do. Most people would be wary of strangers they just met asking for favours but Asher was a rather trusting individual, thus had no suspicion over Guy’s intent. Plus, the man promised to direct Asher to the Ace of Spades after. Asher listened the best he could to Guy prattle, something something ruins and excavations and ancient defence, with excitement. A true adventure and a way to his goal! The dessert wasn’t as interesting as he had heard and it was hot, but it was neat it had old ruins!
The ruins were grand, built into a rocky cliff, and Asher looked around with wonder. “Be careful, there’s a lot of traps. That’s why I wanted a mage to help.” Guy warns Asher and the man just nods distractedly, redeyes glowing with enthusiasm. Asher only took him seriously once the first trap was activated. It was actually pretty simple for Asher to solve, he just had Guy climb onto his back and Asher took leap after leap across, almost stumbling after the longest jump but alright overall.
The two men chat as they wander, Asher much more at ease than Guy, they encounter a hallway. Suddenly as they near the end of it, Asher’s eyes widen as his ears and nose twitches. He smells enemies and the young man draws his sword as Guy ducks behind the mage with his own weapons.
