Foolish walked up to the prison, full moon overhead. He had a backpack on his back, axe handle, pickaxe handle, and trident sticking out the top. He had a seemingly random assortment of items in the bag, ender pearls and fire resistance potions taking up majority of the space.
His hair and clothes were sticking to him, the rain picking up the longer he was outside. He grabbed the trident and launched himself onto the roof of the building, backpack still on his back. He put the trident back and pulled out his pickaxe, immediately going to the dim torch light, the only light on the whole roof.
He placed it there hours earlier, when it was still daytime. He knew it would seem random to Sam and it would be left there, but in reality it was a marker, strategically placed on a block directly over Dream's cell.
He broke the torch and immediately started breaking the block below it, the heavy amounts of miners fatigue making it a painful process. He was there for hours, his arms moving at a steady pace, going straight down into the heart of the prison.
It was times like these he was glad he was half totem and couldn't feel how sore his arms were supposed to be. It had been over 4 hours of hard work, a light peeking out from around the blocks.
"Yes!" He muttered, knowing the light he saw was lava, the lava above Dream's cell.
He started mining the last block, using his other hand to reach back into his backpack and grab a fire resistance potion, knowing as soon as the block below his feet breaks he would fall feet first into the lava.
He drank the potion and put the empty bottle back in his bag, the obsidian below his incredibly cracked. Less than a minute later it broke, Foolish falling through and remaining unharmed when he splashed into the depths below.
As soon as the block broke an alarm rang through his ears, an automated voice repeating itself over and over.
"BREAK IN ABOVE MAIN CELL, BREAK IN ABOVE MAIN CELL,"
He broke the surface of the lava and his eyes widened. There was around 5 blocks between the surface of the lava and the spot he broke through, meaning one thing for him.
He was trapped.
In the heat of the moment he forgot to splash his backpack with a potion, meaning the whole thing disintegrated, the contents included.
He was a sitting duck, waiting for something to happen, the time he was resistant to the lava he was floating in running lower and lower.
As he was racking his brain for ideas he felt a huge pain in the back of his head, a groan coming out of his mouth before his eyes fluttered shut and he lost consciousness.
Sam had drunk a potion and swam through the lava, knocking Foolish unconscious with the end of his sword.
He swam down pulling Foolish with him and went into Dream's cell, the man asleep, curled up on the top of the chest.
Sam's eyes were filled with tears and he laid Foolish's unconscious body on the floor.
"Why..?" He muttered, a few tears breaking through and gliding down his freckled cheeks.
