A Dragon's Hoard

Chapter 1

Dream cared a little too much. He always had, and he had learned how to hide it. He hid it behind smirks and a white mask. Behind threats and evil words. He knew what happened to people who cared too much, and he wasn't going to let it happen to him. Dream cared too much, and it would either be his downfall or the best thing about his life.

Dream spread his wings and landed atop the walls of L'Manberg, or "Manberg" but that was a stupid name. Stupid Schlatt. At least Dream has taste. He watched as tears streamed down Tubbo's face. He was holding a picaxe and staring at the walls he had helped build. It was a sad sight. Dream could see Schlatt shove him towards the wall and walk back towards the White House, Quackity in tow.

This is the last straw, Tubbo's just a kid. He looked at Niki and Fundy and thought of Tommy. They're all just kids. Caring too much would be the death of him. He jumped off the walls, only spreading his wings before he hit the ground next to Tubbo.

"Dream? What are you-" Dream wrapped his arms around the boy and flew back over the walls after grabbing Niki and Fundy from their positions on the walls. He heard a scramble as other L'Manberg workers must have tried to grab weapons but he was already gone. He landed in a forest clearing when he thought he was far enough away.

"Dream?"

"Yes Tubbo?"

"Thank you," Tubbo had tears in his eyes as he buried his face in Dream's chest, hugging him tightly. Dream squeezed back before looking at Niki and Fundy, who had jumped out of Dreams arms when they landed.

"I have a secret base in the mountains. If you want to come I can offer you a safe place away from Schlatt and Wilbur's bullshit. I mostly came for Tubbo and Tommy, but you guys are practically kids too. Plus, you looked miserable."

Both agreed and thanked him. But before he could tell them to stay here while he got Tommy, Niki spoke up.

"Uh, Dream?"

"Yeah?"

"There's someone else we need to rescue, in L'Manberg," the group looked at her, confused. "There's a girl Schlatt brought with him when he came, I only saw her once when he called me to heal her but she looked like she was around Tubbo's age."

"She was injured?"

"Yes, and heavily sedated. Like I said, I only saw her once and Schlatt wouldn't even let Quackity get near her." Strange. Dream couldn't think of anyone Schlatt cared about that much.

"Ok, I'll get her after I get Tommy and you guys back to base." Niki nodded and Dream took off towards Pogtopia, the wind from his leathery wings blowing the groups hair and clothes. He flew close to the tree tops until he reached the small pond outside of their base. He folded his wings against his back before removing the dirt covering the doorway.

The first part of Pogtopia was nothing more than a small dirt room with a chest or two and a bed. As he walked down the stairway to the ravine, following the sounds of raised voices, he looked around at the base. It wasn't much, a stone ravine lit by lanterns, but he supposed it was good for a couple of days.

"Wilbur!" With the sound of Tommy's scared voice Dream sped up his pace.

"Let's be the bad guys!" Dream burst into the small farming area to see Wilbur with a crazed look on his face. Tommy was practically cowering and Technoblade, an unexpected addition was simply standing there.

"Dream?" Hope filled Tommy's face.

"Dream! Here to help? See Tommy? Dream understands there's nothing less to fight for, so why not blow it up?" He couldn't take it anymore, Dream socked him right in the face. Wilbur stumbled back falling into the wet dirt and Dream reached to grab Tommy. Techno had pulled out his sword but seemed hesitant whether to just let them go. Dream stepped out of the door and blew a puff of dragon's breath, effectively blocking either man from following them.

Dream could feel tears dripping down Tommy's face as he clung to the hybrid man. This wasn't good. But at least soon they would be safe. Tommy's phone was buzzing every few seconds, presumably with messages from Wilbur and Techno, but they both ignored it. When they landed in the clearing where he had left the others he saw that they had set up a small camp in the trees.

They landed on a small platform and Tommy was immediately tackled by an enthusiastic hug. Tubbo had obviously missed his best friend. Niki hugged him after that and checked him over for injuries before moving to check Dream. He tried to brush her off but only got a stern look from the woman and a sympathetic glance from Fundy. That bastard was laughing at him, but he had to admit the fox man had a cute smile. Once Niki was satisfied no one was hurt they settled down for dinner, apparently Fundy was a rather good cook.

Over the meal it was decided that tomorrow Dream would take them to the base then fly back for the mystery girl. Niki believed that she was still being held in the White House but she wasn't sure. The two teens were almost asleep on each other's shoulders so they were ushered to bed, Fundy taking first watch. Tomorrow would be a long day, and they needed their rest.
