With how many people Asher had seen die he had been unable to do anything. But now that he had some power, he didn't wish to be in the same position.
He wasn't going to let another person die.
'Not again.' Asher thought to himself. "I'll carry you as far as needed. We can get out now that they are all dead." He tried to convince the man.
"You don't understand. The death of those mages will be known by the mage tower." Beryl spoke. "It would have been no issue in escaping if I was fine, since I could've hidden our tracks. But in my current state, you won't be able to move fast enough if you carry me.
Believe me when I tell you there won't be enough time for you to run before they catch on. The only way you can survive is if you run alone." He explained.
"But you… You'll die alone like this." Asher didn't know what to say.
