22| The Exile

Hello, so I know I said I wouldn't be updating for another week or so but I have had a lot of anxiety and writing seems to be the only thing that really helps. so enjoy :)

~Y/N POV~

It had been a week since Dream and I had been cast from our home. The people we loved, betrayed us, left us, to fend for ourselves in the open wilderness. I wasn't mad, I didn't feel anything for them anymore. The people I lost, and the people that left me, are all simply in the past. I was moving on from the pain I've encountered in my life, and the people that caused that will never get in the way. 

"Y/N!" Dream called from across the valley we had found. We set up camp, and went exploring. I was sat in the grass, looking over a small cliff, I was surrounded by flowers, pretty ones. There were tulips, and roses, poppies, corn flowers, and daisies. I always loved flowers, the brought a sense of hope to me. 

"Yeah what's up?" I called back to Dream. 

"Come look what I found!" he shouted, his voice resonating through the tall grass and flowing into my, and the native creatures I had seen around here before. 

I stood up from my place in the grass, making my way over to Dream. His dirty blonde hair flowing in the wind, lighter then usual because of the sunlight casted upon him. "look, I found a mineshaft!" he said pointing down to a crevasse in a ravine we had found earlier. As Dream said, a mineshaft. The wood and cobwebs making an appearance and the sounds of hostile creatures could be heard from where I stood upon the mountain. 

"I'll get my sword from the field over there and then we can go explore it." I told him, making sure to nod reassuringly, as if to tell him I would always be back for him. I held the tool in my hands, the callouses standing out more then anything. The sword was only iron, but Dream was an incredible welder and put fine detailing on the swords blade, and handle, making sure it was special because I was going to be the one to use it. The small gestures like him carving a heart into the base of the sword make my heart melt, as opposed to welding a different way then normal and teaching me the way of using a regular sword to do more attack damage then a regular sharpness iron sword does with just a few steps, and tweaks to my form. 

Dream was a talented fighter, and he taught me more then I had of ever known in the last week. 

We found ourselves at the mouth of the cave, leading into the mineshaft, we nodded to each other and started to move forward in the confined space such as a mineshaft. Each corridor led to treasure, and I intended to find something valuable. It was hard finding everything ourselves, yes we have made advancements since being here, but its still hard considering where we were before we had to leave. I always kept high hopes, in spite of being totally freaked out about what being exiled truly meant for me, for us. I hadn't a clue, if we were going to be able to build civilization like we had before, it would take generations for that to happen, and we don't really have generations. There will always be a new conflict, a new challenge that we have to face. But that's how life is. 

My thoughts were broken as a bone-like structure entered my vision. I swiped my sword under the creatures "feet" and then watched as the bones crumbled to the ground in a pile of what looked like saw dust. I always hated the sight of when mobs died, it was as if they just designated and what they have appears at your feet in a pile of their chewed up remains. When I had picked up the bones, and arrows the skeleton had dropped I dropped them into my bag, and laid my eyes upon a shiny metal square cart, holding a chest on the inside. I unhooked the latch, and I looked at the contents inside. Rails, a golden apple, 5 torches, melon seeds, 3 diamonds, and a nametag. I had felt good about finding the diamonds, but nametags were extremely rare, and I was happy we might have a new addition to the family. Only a mob found in mineshafts could craft these tags, cave spiders produce a certain type of string that you can only get while they're still alive. But cave spiders are incredibly poisonous, and if you go near them, you will be put through unbearable pain and pushed to almost death. 

These items are hard to come by, and I was happy I found one. 

Dream and I met back up, and the entrance of the mineshaft we had both came in from. We shared what we both found, and ended up with 12 diamonds, a bunch of melon and pumpkin seeds, a nametag, a notch apple, 7 golden apples, an ender pearl i picked up when an enderman was suffocated in a wall of gravel, and 128 torches. A great amount of items, and I think this was successful. When we got back to camp, we found a letter in the tent both of us shared. The sign in front said "tnret" because while I was painting the sign letters, Dream popped up behind me, making me jump, and I marked up the sign so I misspelled the word "tent". 

The note read, 

Hello, I assume you are receiving this note because you were not able to come to the ceremony where this was announced. The ruler of the DreamSMP, is needed to marry someone of his choice. Eret, was king, unfortunately he passed his crown down because he wanted to join pogtopia in their attempt of revolution, and injustice of the manburg "citizens". This title was bestowed upon George, by the newly exiled Dream. There had been a change of plans, since the exile of Dream and Y/N, there has been voted, no recollection of Dream in the DreamSMP lands, so any judgement over the next ruler was brought down. In addition to this, it meant George could never rule the land he was crowned to do so. Instead, Sapnap was crowned king. 

The king of these lands, needs a queen. This was decided by the board members, including Badboyhalo, Skeppy, Antfrost, Slimecicle, Jack Manifold, and Foolish. So there will be a ball, that every women across the lands must attend, so Sapnap can choose his queen. No matter how far, if you're imprisoned, exiled, or have committed any crimes, must come to the event, and be an option. No matter if you're in a relationship or not, it is Sapnaps choice, whom his bride is. Hope to see you there. 

Sincerely, 

                      The recreational board of peace
