Drowning ||Dreamnotfound||

Wilbur's POV:

I closed the door, letting George leave, hoping that Tommy would be alright. Should I go visit him tomorrow after Schlatt's kingdom meeting? Probably. If he's sick, I don't want to just leave him and not visit him.

I know he was hurting ever since he got here. He was ripped away from his friend, that must've been awful, I know it was.

How did I get here? Well...

Five years ago, when I was twenty, I worked as a marine biologist. Why did I decide to get that job? I was curious about what lies beneath our feet when we swim in an endless void that we call the ocean.

One day, when I was reading a book about underwater history, and I discovered that there used to be a kingdom. That kingdom was filled with all kinds of sea life, even mer-folk, which was seen as a myth. I was curious, so I went into further research about that kingdom.

Days later, I found out where the kingdom was located. So, I decided that I was going to check it out. However, it wasn't just that. That's not the only reason I was going to that Kingdom.

At least five years before that, a boy was reported missing. He was presumed dead, he was apparently eaten by a shark. However, during that time, I did my research on that too. There was never a shark. There was never any attack on that boy, he had to be taken by someone, or he drowned.

I went to the kingdom. I had my swimming gear on, and I was ready to find anything. It took me at least an hour in the submarine to find out what happened five years before. I knew that kid didn't drown. Why? Because he used to attend my school. He was a wonderful swimmer, he could never drown.

I found the glorious, beautiful kingdom. I was in awe at the sight. Tall structures stood tall, it looked untouched, like it was just there and perfectly fine.

I saw something. A man with a blue tail heading into the kingdom. A merman? I got out of my submarine, swimming closer. Then, a man with a pink tail saw me. He looked pissed. I could sense his anger, and I got scared.

He was much faster than me. He caught me, and brought me into the kingdom, transforming me into one of them. There was no going back, was there?

I wouldn't be lying if I admitted that I was still scared of Technoblade. However, he tried to be my friend. I thought that that's why he took me, he wanted to get close with me? So, I agreed.

And, it turns out, that George was in fact alive. I was right, he never drowned.

Since I couldn't necessarily get back to marine biology, I started getting into music.

That's my story. How I got to this hell of a place, and why I am who I am.

If i'm being completely honest, I wanted to leave. Maybe I could leave with Tommy? I know he wants to find Tubbo again Maybe I could help him?

I got it! Maybe when I go to visit him, I can say that I want to help him! I hope he believes me, I think I seem like the type that would snitch. However, that's not me. That's.. well, that's Karl. I've told him so much before, and he ended up telling the authorities. Rude, right?
