Flames flew out of the bonfire as Nasus stood, looking down at it. Wulfric walked over, patting him on the back. "Great job. Let's get going. Come on!" Wulfric walked over to a large door at the end of the room, grabbing the handles. He pushed open the door, making movements that told Nasus to follow along. They entered the courtyard, looking around at all the pots. "Hey, Wulfric, is that the exit?" He looked towards a large door at the end of the room, his friend walking to the door gleefully. "Yep! Let's go!" Wulfric grabbed the door handles, pulling them to open it. But instead, it didn't open.
"Huh? Fancy that... the door is locked. We need like... a key." He turned around, examining the area, then, he saw a door that was wide open. It was glowing from the torches around it, leading into a stairwell. "There! Let's go there! It's the only other place we haven't been to!" Nasus followed along, but before they entered the door, a loud crash was heard. "Huh!?" They spun around, seeing a massive demon. It was like the Stray Demon they saw earlier, only the color was different, being a dark blue color. "Woah! Big guy!" Nasus said, no idea what was going to happen as Wulfric pulled out his sword. He felt the edges of his blade, getting in a position. "Oy! I'll take this big lunk! Nasus, just go to the door that was open! I'll hold him off till you get back!" The demon swung the hammer it held at Wulfric, just barely missing him. Nasus nodded, running down into the stairs, but the door behind him closed!
"Crap... I'll have to find another way around. HOLD HIM OFF AS LONG AS YOU CAN WULFRIC!" Nasus entered a large, corpse-filled hallway, looking around. He saw in one broken cell that there was a shield, right there for his taking. Before he could grab it though, an arrow pierced his arm, causing him to bleed. "Ngh! What the hell!?"He turned, seeing a hollow with a bow. "Tch... well... glad I have this!" He picked up the shield, another arrow being fired off at him as he blocked it with little to no effort. Nasus ran down the hall, keeping his shield up as the hollow ran. Before Nasus kept running, he stopped, seeing a broadsword for his taking. He grabbed it, running forward with a shout, cutting the hollow in half. "Whew... my first fight in a long time..." He got rid of the broken sword he originally had, looking towards another gate.
Nasus walked through the other gate, looking around. "Huh... it's like a second floor... now I've just gotta get around. Some stairs on the side..." He walked towards the stairs, moving up them, but as he moved, he saw a boulder at the top, beginning to move. "Crap!" Before it could hit him, Nasus rolled off the stairs, narrowly avoiding it as the boulder crashed into a wall, breaking a large hole into it. "Phew.." Then, he heard a voice. Someone was calling to him. "You... knight... come here please..." The voice was coming from within the wall that had broken. Nasus entered, leading into a whole other room, seeing someone lying on a pile of rubble.
After looking him over, Nasus realized he was the knight who freed him. "You! Who are you!? Are you okay!?" The knight was clearly wounded, coughing. "... Oh, you... you're no hollow, eh? Thank goodness... I'm Oscar of Astora... I'm done for, I'm afraid... I'll die soon, then lose my sanity... I wish to ask something of you... you and I, we're both Undead... hear me out, will you?" Nasus thought about it, then, he answered with a yes. Oscar told Nasus his story. "... regrettably, I have failed in my mission. But perhaps you can keep the torch lit... there is an old saying in my family... thou who art undead, art chosen... In thine exodus from the Undead Asylum, make pilgrimage to the land of Ancient Lords... When thou ring the Bell of Awakening, the fate of the undead thou shalt know... well, now you know... and I can die with hope in my heart. Oh, one more thing... here, take this... an Estus Flask, an undead favorite... oh, and this..." Oscar pulled out five flasks of bright orange color. "They'll heal all wounds... and for some reason... they'll all refill if you rest at a bonfire... magical... ghhh... right? You must get going now... escape from here..."
Oscar laid on the rock, and eventually, his body faded away, Nasus sighing. "Yeah... I'll do what you asked of me Oscar." Nasus turned around, going up the stairs to see a hollow. He shot forward, impaling it fast. After killing the hollow, Nasus kept moving going off to a small balcony, two other hollows spotting and attacking. One cut his arm, but then he cut the head off. Another flew at him, attacking, but Nasus parried his blade, impaling him and kicking him into the ground. "Another door... let's see where it goes." He entered the other door, seeing Wulfric still fighting the demon.
He was on a balcony, overlooking the courtyard. Surprising both Wulfric and the demon, Nasus ran forward, doing a roll as he fell of the balcony, stabbing the demon in the head, blood spurting out. "Good job Nasus! You made it with new weapons!" After impaling the head, Nasus leapt off, Wulfric catching him. "Good show! Now let's finish this demon off!" Wulfric pulled out a black ball, throwing it. The ball erupted into flames, igniting the demon and burning him slowly. Using this, both Nasus and Wulfric charged, cutting at the legs and sides. "HAA!"
Wulfric spun around, dicing up the left leg. The demon slammed the hammer down, blowing them backwards. Wulfric then pulled out five black firebombs, tossing them to Nasus. "Here! Take your share! I have four left!" Wulfric threw another bomb, burning the demon some more. "Three I mean! Anyways, let's stab the stomach at once! I've weakened him enough! Come on!" Wulfric and Nasus ran forward, back to back as their swords stabbed right into the gut of the demon, killing it with a final twist, the large monstrosity roaring. After they had killed it, the demon collapsed, his body erupting into a white fog. "We did it!" Nasus aid, chuckling.
Wulfric walked towards the spot where the demon died, finding a key and grabbing it. "He was the Asylum Demon. He held the key to our escape!" He ran at the door, inserting the key. It worked, him opening the door, revealing the outside. It just lead uphill, being a cliff. "Come on Nasus!" He said, running up the hill. Nasus followed him, looking around at the grey, bleak surroundings. The two of them stopped running, looking off the cliff. "Look at it my friend. This... is our esca-" Then out of nowhere, a massive bird flew up, grabbing the both of them, flying off with the two knights.
