Ghost Story [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter Four

Groaning, Troy sat up in bed and looked around. The room was empty.
"Brett? Brett! Where are you?"
At that exact moment, the door swung open to reveal, none other, than Brett.
"You called?"
"Ha - ha, very funny. Where were you?"
Pulling out two books from his bag, Brett went over and sat down next to Troy.
"Well, I just came back from Kinoko Kingdom."
"The library?"
"That is correct. I've found some interesting things, too. Did you know, people believe that Wilbur could have come back as a ghost?"
Waking up more now, and ready for theories Troy spoke, "Interesting... that could potentially explain the cold breeze. Ghosts are commonly associated with them."
"Yeah, but there is no proof of ghosts as well."
"There's never any proof of ghosts."

With the new information, they had gathered - they continued to theory well into the day.
"Okay," Brett started, "What's our best theory so far?"
"That their both ghosts living in that hidden house."
"Yeah, we're going to need to gather more information."
"I think we should start off with finding out what happened to Dream after the battle."
"Okay, I'll go back to the library, you go around and ask questions?"
Nodding, Troy got up and walked out the door. "See you in a bit!"

First, Troy decided to talk to the receptionist. Walking down the stairs, Troy saw nobody in the bare, but nice, hallways. Down in the lobby, he walked over to the receptionist's desk.
"Hello?"
"Hello, sir, do you need anything?"
"Yeah, I'm interested in the, uh, islands history... and I was just wondering if you knew anything about Dream...?"
"Hmm... well, I don't know very much about anyone - to be honest - but Ranbob knows a lot."
"Who's Ranbob?"
"Oh! He's the descendant of Ranboo. He absolutely adores Dream, too."
"Where can I find him?"
"He lives in Snowchester, family house. Here! I can draw you a map."
Grabbing a pen, the receptionist grabbed a piece of paper and quickly drew a sketchy map.
As she spoke, the receptionist's finger followed along on the map, "It's really easy to find the tunnel, just go down here and along here. It's just outside the big building."
"The big building?"
"Yeah, there's this weird big, black building. It looks quite beautiful, though. People don't really talk about it, because it gives of this weird aura - very creepy."
"Alright, well thanks for the map. Have a good day!"
"You, too!"
Walking out of the hotel, Troy followed the map until he could see the big building rising up in the distance. Hmm... I'll tell Brett about this building, it seems interesting...

Eventually, he could see the tunnel that lead to Snowchester. Pulling on boots special designed for water/soul sand tunnels, he hopped into the water and swam. Because dolphins had also been installed on either end of the tunnel, you flew through extra-fast and in no time at all, Troy had reached the end of the tunnel. Flying out, he looked around a small a log cabin just behind him. Walking up the steps and to the front door, he knocked on the door. A tall man answered the door. The man's skin was colored in a way that the majority was of his face was black (pure black), but on eye was surrounded by white that stretched down from the forehead. The eye that was surrounded by white was yellow, well the other was purple.
"Hello," said the man, "I am Ranbob."
"Yes, hello, I'm Troy. I was just wondering if I could ask you some questions about Dream?"
"Of course. Come in, come in." Stepping to the side, Ranbob pulled the door open further.
Stepping inside, Troy glanced around. The house was nicely furnished, with a ladder on the back wall going up and down.
"Sit down over here," Ranbob called over to Troy. As he sat down, Ranbob sat down opposite of him. "So, what would you like to know?"
"Um, do you know anything about what happened to Dream after the final fight with Tubbo and Tommy?"
"Hm... I have gathered some information, yes. It is not quite known what happened after but I do believe that he was put into Pandora's vault."
"Pandora's vault?"
"Yes. The big building at the start of the tunnel - that is Pandora's vault. I believe that it was built by Awesamdude. However, I haven't been able to discover what happened inside the vault. It's redstone sealed."
"Do you think there is anyway I could discover what happened inside?"
"I am banned from leaving Snowchester, so I could never go, but you may find clues on how to get inside by searching Awesamdude's house."
"Okay, thank you. Can tell me where that is?"

As this was going on, Brett was - once again - looking around Kinoko Kingdom Library. This time, he was looking through the 'P' section. A trail of books had eventually lead to him believe that Dream had been looked up inside a prison. He was currently looking for anything that could tell him what the prison was called or some way to get into said prison.
Stumbling across a book, Pandora's Vault - The Perfect Prison, he picked it up - as the title seemed very promising. The booked was small, and extremely battered, having been tucked away at the very back of the shelf.
The Pandora's Vault is an extremely beautiful and extremely expensive build. It is nearly impossible to escape, without supernatural help, because of all the redstone traps that have been designed to stop anyone getting in, without the guard, or out. The prison was designed and built by Awesamdude - with help from Antfrost, Badboyhalo and Dream. Awesamedude started the construction because he was payed a stack of diamond blocks to built it. It is not confirmed, but it is suspected the Dream was the one who payed for it to be built.
It is unknown who was locked away inside the prison, but it is confirmed that someone was.
It is not quite known how to get into the prison, but it is known that the only to get access through the redstone components, once inside, is to have the warden's key.
Closing the book, Brett tucked it away in his bag. This will be important later.
Looking through the shelves, Brett idly glanced at other books and ultimately decided to pick up a book called The Hidden House.
Dream, the owner of the Greater DreamSMP, is generally considered to be a 'homeless blob', but is this really true? In this book, we discuss the possibility of Dream truly having a house - and if he does - where it could be located.
Reading through the rest of the book, Brett was surprised at how accurate it was, and how close the description of where the house could be was to where it actually was. Deciding to get the book for fun, Brett picked up another book, for some light reading, and went to the counter.
"Uh, hi."
"Hello, Brett, back already I see."
"Ha, yeah. Uh, can I get these three books out?"
"Of course," grabbing the books, the librarian once again scanned the book, "Same date as the last ones, okay?"
"Alrighty!"
Grabbing the books Brett left. At that same moment, Troy was also leaving Ranbob's house. They didn't know it quite yet, but after they would inevitably meet up at the Boo n' Bee hotel - they would be one step (or maybe more) to finding out the truth of the island's most buried secret.
