Sangria (A DSMP + Hermitcraft Kingdom au)

Chapter 3

Tommy was eating a cinnamon roll with Wilbur when Techno burst in, his normally emotionless expression gone, he looked incredibly stressed and worried.

"Tommy!" Techno said, running over to Tommy, "thank gods you're ok."

"What happened?" Tommy said, as Techno grabbed one of the rolls.

"Tubbo's missing."

"WHAT?! First me, then Tubbo? What is happening?"

Techno shrugged, "Niki's in the main hall talking to Phil about it."

Tommy nodded and looked at Wilbur. It was clear he was beating himself up about not being able to protect the people he cared about. Tommy began running down the hall, he wasn't really sure where he was going, he didn't want to just sulk in his room, but he wasn't sure he could face Niki and Phil, nor did he want to talk or even think about Tubbo right now. He found himself in the library and found a book.

"A battle of brothers... at least it isn't history" Tommy muttered to himself, he wasn't typically one to like reading, but he also didn't typically deal with his friends going missing. Wilbur came in soon after and grabbed a book as well. Tommy looked away from Wilbur, whipping a tear from his eye, he didn't want Wilbur to know he was crying, big men didn't typically cry.

The door opened, and Niki came in, Phil trailing behind. Tommy tried his best to ignore them, he just opened the book, and hoped the two wouldn't talk to him about Tubbo, the less he talked or thought about it, the less real it felt. The book was about two knights or something like that. Tommy couldn't comprehend it too well, due to how old the book was, and the stress of the situation. He felt like everything was suffocating him, and it was all too much. He was shaking due to the stress. He couldn't hear the words said between Wilbur, Phil, and Niki, everything was a blur.

After a few moments, Tommy wasn't able to hold back his tears, as they silently streamed down his face. He quietly sobbed and hoped that the others couldn't hear him. He wanted to be alone. Let the person take him. He just wanted to be with Tubbo. Tommy felt a hand on his shoulder, he hadn't noticed that the others were now looking at him.

"It's gonna be ok, kiddo," Phil said. "We'll find Tubbo."

"Will we, though?"

"We will."

Xisuma paced in his chamber, he was confused, what was happening to the kingdom? First, someone broke into the castle without being noticed, then the baker's kid goes missing. Someone knocked on his door, and he opened it.

"Brother, Sit down, you'll get sick with ender." Xanthi said, and almost pushed Xisuma into a chair.

"I know, but it's so stressful." Xisuma replied.

"You won't be able to get anything done if you get sick."

"You're right."

"As I always am."

Xisuma rolled his eyes at his brother's remark. "Sure. Like the time you said to me that soup was spelled-"

"We don't talk about that."

Xisuma laughed, "sure, but you can talk about all my dumb mistakes, sure."

Xanthi laughed as well. "Well mistakes weren't what I came here to talk about"

"Then what was?"

"The baker's kid was Tommy's friend, and I think Ranboo knows something about the reason behind everything going on."

"You think?"

"I talked to him today, so yes, I do."

"What did he say to make you think that?"

"A Lot of things."

"That doesn't really answer the question."

"I did"

"You didn't give an example."

"Fine, Ranboo found out about a fight Wels had with Hels a week ago."

"WHAT?" Xisuma yelled, it was so loud that someone could probably hear it on the other side of the castle.

Xanthi sighed, "Yes, they had a fight, and Ranboo wants to talk about it with us."

"Why didn't you just start with that?"

"Because I'm a derp."

Xisuma sighed, "We should probably go talk to Ranboo now."

"Let's go."

"I'll go and tell someone where we're going."

Xisuma had spent about 15 minutes trying to find someone and had eventually found Eret, who was staring out a window.

"Hey Eret," Xisuma said, the uneasy feeling hanging in the air ignored.

"Hey X, what's up?" Eret replied, trying to squash the nervousness in his voice.

"Xanthi and I are heading into the city, just letting you know."

"Alright" Eret replied.

X nodded, and quickly walked over to the ender pearl station that Xanthi had created for them.

He threw a pearl in, and headed outside, where Xanthi was waiting with their horses.

"You ready to go?" Xanthi asked, climbing onto his horse.

"Yep! Let's ride!"
