In rage, Sapnap yanked his bow off his back, nocked an arrow, and shot a bird in the trees. He made his way back to the castle in record time. He joined Dream and George in the weapons room, where Dream was cleaning his sword, and George leaning against a wall.

"Guys," he tried to catch his breath. "You wont believe this."

Dream set down his sword, motioning for him to go on.

"The discs. I saw them. They're real. They are here in this village."

At first, no one moved. Dream stood, with the two dots on his mask staring at him. George was the first to speak. "Dream..." he said, looking over to the masked being.

Both George and Sapnap knew that Dream has an obsession with the legend of the discs. The castle study is filled with books and papers about them. He's been trying to track them down for years now, little did he know they were right in this very village. There had always been a doubt, though, that the discs were just a legend and nothing more.

Sapnap couldn't wrap his mind around the fact that he was so close to the discs, that he didn't even know they were real in the first place. They were the real discs. They had to be.

Dream moved his head down slowly, and breathed. How he could breathe in that mask he never took off amazed Sapnap. "Who."

"A literal child has them. He's a teenager with blonde hair, and a brown haired kid of the same age was with him." Sapnap left out the details of how he had spotted them listening in on their outing with Ponk.

Ponk. He didn't want to think about him.

"Why would a child have the discs if they're so powerful? Shouldn't they be in, like, a safe or something? That we would have to go on a quest to obtain? It can't be this easy," George says. His voice is tinged with a slight accent from somewhere far away.

They all stood in silence for another moment, until Dream started laughing. A dark shadow seemed to pass under his mask, despite the bright sun pouring from the overhead windows. "We siked ourselves out. It was right in front of us this whole time. All I have to do is kill the kid--"

"Whoa, hold on. He is only, like, 16," Sapnap interrupts him. "I'm not sure that's the best course of action."

"And I am the king. It's not like we haven't killed children before."

Sapnap saw the determination in the kid's eyes. Something told him he wouldn't be as easy to kill as Dream thinks. "We could steal them," he suggested.

"I can get people out to track him down, then in the middle of the night we sneak in and steal them," George adds.

Dream considers this, then nods. "Alright. I want the discs in my hands by sunrise, or I'm killing him."

A short one for today, but it's the start of The Disc War!
In the streams, there aren't any "legends" about the discs, I just needed a reason as to why Dream is so obsessed with getting his hands on them.
From here on, it's pretty accurate to the streams. And I promise there will be some dnf soon.
