You grabbed your bow and arrow and shot the wither. This alerted it and gave all its attention to you. Your eyes went wide and before you could get another shot, a black skull came your way.
Fortunately, you were able to dodge it in time. The explosions coming from the withers and tnt were deafening. You grabbed an ender pearl and threw high into the air, causing you to land on the obsidian.
There you found the man behind it all, Dream.
He stood there in his netherite armor and a small grin plastered on his face. Dream stood near where all the tnt was falling and had his back turned against you.
"Dream."
He turned around at the sound of your voice. It was raspy, probably from all the shouting or dust.
The grin that was once small stretched into a bigger one. "Y/n, I'm so glad you're here!" he wrapped his arm around your shoulder and ruffled your hair up.
"What? Get off me!" you swatted his arm off you and fixed your hair. "I can't believe you Dream, how could you?" tears started to form in your eyes and your breathing started to become more heavy.
He saw this and his grin was replaced with a frown. "Hey, hey, hey wait- Don't cry, I'm only doing this for your own good- no, our own good. I did this so that we can finally be free!"
"Our own good? What does that even mean? You destroyed this country for 'our own good?' They're all suffering down there!"
You looked down and saw your friends and people who you considered family. They were all trying their best to survive the withers and the tnt. It was hell down there.
"When I'm done with this, we can finally be happy together. No more L'manburg, no more Tommy, just peace and quiet together." he slowly started walking towards you with his arms slowly stretching out as well, which you presumed was to hug you.
You slowly backed away until you reached the edge. Dream still walked closer to you, arms more streched out. "Please," he said breathlessly. "I'm doing this for us. I know you may think it's a little much but it's all going to be worth it in the end, I promise." He was now infront of you and he wrapped his arms around you.
"Killing our friends and family isnt a 'little much.' It's something only a maniac would do." you said with a harsh tone. "Like I said, it's for your own go-"
You finally had enough, you were tired of him repreating himself, so you pushed him off, "Stop saying that." your tone was much harsher, more raspier.
"You know what Dream? Whatever we had between us, it's over. I hate you."
That was it, that was what really hurt Dream. No matter how many arguments you had, you never said you hated him. He stood there, speechless.
What you said was a bit cruel, but you meant it. You turned around, ready to jump off. Before you did, you said your final words to Dream.
"Theres nothing you can do that can make up for this."
The wither flew near to where you were standing which gave you a clean shot to injure it. Dream reached out to you to say something, but you had already jumped.
You got your sword and plunged it into the wither's middle skull. It let out a scream of pain and tried to shake you off.
It was succesful in doing so and you fell off. You got a ender pearl and threw it at the ground so that you wouldn't break your legs.
Once you landed, you gave Dream one last final look of disgust and pain. "I can't believe this." you muttered to yourself.
You ran off to help Sam and Quackity, who were currently struggling to fight off a wither.
As you fought, you thought about what Dream said. Was it really for your own good? Or was it for power? After all you've been through, how could he just blow up the place where you called home?
So many thought raced through your head, but there was one thing you were certain of, and that was that you hated Dream and you had cut him off. He was out of your life, forever.
o_0 idk if it’s actually broken but the dots are connecting and I think it might be that. it’s literally not even a good story, I just... fell. and apparently landed really badly on my foot. I mean, how does that even happen??? I am confusion.
soupi actually deactivated because writing started to feel like an obligation and a few other reasons :(
but you can find her goodbye post here
oh!! this probably sounds like a bit of a hypocritical thing of me to say but i’m glad soupi’s gone if it means she’s found that it brings her joy—i completely understand the sentiment that writing here can feel like a drain and really distract from other things in your life. lord knows my tiny pea brain can get overwhelmed at times! realistically speaking she won’t see this and probably doesn’t read my posts still, but i wish her nothing but the best!! it’s a shame i can’t tell her directly or reach out (she really was so sweet,,, omg), but truly!! thanks for the wonderful memories. i’d like to imagine that we were and, in some way, still are friends :)
idk what’s going on in that photo but it looks interesting hehe :]
i’m doing well! did so many errands today and got a lot done :) i also went to the optometrist and i don’t need new glasses! which is great cuz i usually get a new pair every year and it’s expensive
