To be a family

The rise of the dead

It took longer than expected to bring Tommy and Wilbur back. Dream had refused to say anything for a long time, but eventually he caved, giving the coordinates to the base the book was held.

That took two months to do that.

They traveled to the hidden base and searched for the book, finding it after a month of searching. They traveled back to L'Manburg soon after.

That took two years.

They had to get Dream to decipher the book. The green clad man refused to speak to anyone. It was only when Fundy came and spoke to him that he agreed.

That took two months, as Fundy did not want to see his ex.

The book said that who or what killed the person you were trying to revive had to be there. Techno blade had not been seen at all since he took Tommys last life and Dreams first two lives. Phil was already waiting in L'Manburg once he heard about it.

It took two years to find Technoblade.

They then had to find Totems. Dream said that two totems per people they wanted to revive.

It took a year to find four totems.

Dream told them that the person they were going to revive would be weak. They had not needed to eat, drink, sleep, or breathe for a long time, so they will not be used to it. They might pass out as soon as they appeared.

The thought of Tommy not being able to breathe scared Tubbo. He was scared he would lose him again.

And so, they began the phase that would bring their two friends back.

Techno was both hated and admired when he came back. Hated for killing Tommy and nearly killing Tubbo as well. He was admired for going against Dream and taking two of his lives. Techno did not interact with anyone, opting to stay in the house he was provided until the ceremony.

And then it was time. Five years after Tommys death he would return.

Everyone gathered around the alter that Eret had created. Dream was cuffed in front of Sam, who was making sure he could not escape.

Techno and Phil stood at the altar, awaiting instructions from the green man.

"Put the totems on the altar." His voice was raspy, having not been used much the past five years.

The two did so. Many of the SMP members gasped and backed away as the altar glowed white.

"Back up now, it may take a while." Tubbo was exited. He would soon be able to see his best friend, his brother again!

They all watched as the glowing figures appeared. They were unable to see who they were, but there were not two figures, there were three.

Five years are slower when your dead. Theres nothing to do.

Schlatt was fun once you got to know him. He and Wilbur were friends when they were children. Schlatt met Tommy when he was a baby. (For some reason that felt nice to Tommy).

Wilbur sang songs to them at night to get them to sleep. It was comforting. Tommy missed listening to Wilbur sing. He missed being a child, unaware of the world around him. But most of all...

He missed his wings.

The large white wings he got from his mother.

He loved soaring through the air with his father.

He loved feeling his brother's fingers touching them a though they would break any minute.

All of that was taken away when Dream found out about them.
