Feathered - DSMP Tangled AU

Prologue

Dream used to be a god. There was a time he would soar through the sky with his winged brethren, living in harmony together. They were all completely at peace with each other. Dream, Sapnap, George and handful of the others had big golden wings. They were the most powerful of the rest. They ruled the land in the sky leaving each day happily. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end.

Dream remembered it like it was yesterday despite it behind hundreds of years ago. A dragon's egg appeared one day, and red vines started to grow around the egg. They spread throughout the floating islands. When the vines touched someone's wings it's broke their mind. Anyone corrupted by the vine's touch was filled with a lust for power. War broke out among them. Dream and the others with golden wings opened a portal to a world between theirs and the void. They trapped the dragon's egg there before it hatched and all of those who had fallen victim to it's madness. In the history books it would later be called the end, as it's creation marked the end of an era. The end of the rule of the winged. The start of human kind.

It should have been a sign then, as Dream watched those he once considered friends be damned to an eternity of suffering without showing a hint of emotion over it, that there was something wrong with him.

His wings were corrupted by the disease, as were Sapnaps and George's. Their minds seemed to not be corrupted yet. To save themselves they cut their wings off. Only a few people were spared from the disease. Only a handful of people kept their wings. While the other winged people died of old age Dream and Sapnap and George remained. The last remaining of their kind who had golden wings. Immortal, yet no longer gods.

Although Dream cut his wings off his mind had been touched by the disease. It wasn't enough to break his mind, but it was enough to corrupt it. Dream wanted power, he wanted something to control. Sapnap, George, and him argued over this. They never noticed the white eyes he hid beneath the mask.

They went their separate ways. George and Sapnap went to a far off land to build lives for themselves. Dream didn't want to live a simple life like them. So he built an empire. It started small, known as the SMP, but grew over time. Having an immortal king bodes helpful in the growth of a kingdom. Dream observed the land around him watching the rise and fall of nations. One of the newer kingdoms, the Antarctic empire, started to grow powerful. It's borders inched on Dream's land and eventually took some of it over.

His jealousy and anger only grew once he met the king. The man had wings. Not as beautiful as his were, they were a deep brown, but they were still wings nonetheless. While it was uncommon to see people with wings now they still exist. The gene passed down through generations only making itself visible every few decades. Him and the king went to war and the Antarctic empire won. Dream's kingdom was overthrown and he was banished.

That was around 100 years ago.
