Brent, Ashley, and the Scotsman

by ashihime

The Scotsman—now a ghost—comes across a familiar face. Unfortunately, it's deja vu all over again when he realizes his dear friend is missing both his brain and magic sword.

After a few more minutes of heartfelt goodbyes and air kisses, the Scotsman finally got him to start their descent.

It was a long laborious process, with Brent intermittently stopping to secure hooks into the rocky walls. Thankfully this kept the lad quiet, too focused on not falling to his death.

The Scotsman made sure his mortal friend took breaks when they touched down on any overhangs that allowed him to rest. A lot of times, Ashley's name would come out in needy whimpers as he slept, which was oddly touching for the ghost. Here was a lad scared out of his wits but still thought of his sweetheart. The sentiment made the Scotsman remember his own beloved wife.

"Oh Ashley..." Brent chuckled in his sleep. "You're so bad..."

"BREAK TIME IS OVER YE CREEP!"
