He couldn't believe his ears. Did she really- Twitch prime...She finally agreed to that?
"W-what? Seriously?"
"Yes, it's my final decision." A wave of relief flooded him, he wrapped her in a tight hug, nuzzling his masked face on the crook of her neck as she hugged him back.
"I'm glad, I'm so, so glad..." The God mumbled, voice muffled. Y/n didn't say anything else, as she combed his silky hair with her fingers, smiling all this time. But did she make a right decision? We're about to find out.

-------------------------------------------------------------

They called Dream to help them out. Since he was more familiar with the revival book knowledge than XD, plus only he knew the language of Gods that was used in the ritual. And of course his services weren't free, XD had to give him something in exchange. But Dream didn't specify what exactly. A... favour. XD would owe him if the ritual succeeds. Yet there he stood, above his favourite human's body, that wasn't moving, blood flowing down from the 'XD' shaped wound on her chest, the blood gathered in a small pool beside the altar, painting the carvings of the language of Gods on the floor crimson red.

"Dream?.."
"I don't know. We should wait for a while." He replied, trying to recall the tips from his memory of the revival book. They waited, for minutes, for hours. Till her limp body grew colder than ice, her skin getting paler and paler. She was dead. "Well, looks like it failed." Dream shrugged, his voice had no emotion, as he wiped his hands clean on his cloak, walking out of the holy monument, leaving the frozen deity alone. XD was frozen on the spot, he couldn't bring himself to move. His chest felt incredibly heavy, his head clouded with despair. He lost her?..No it can't be. She couldn't leave him alone, not after all the things that happened. He didn't realize what he was doing. What he was thinking. He was in denial. XD cradled her cold body in his hands, rocking back and forth, tears pricking his eyes as he ripped his mask off his face, throwing it somewhere he didn't know. He tried to heal her, use a totem of undying on her, give her potions, golden apples but none worked.

"No no no no, it can't be happening. Please, Y/n, please...You can't leave me, do you hear me? You cannot, it's not canon, it's not canon, it's not canon..." He was rambling. His voice was broken, desperate. He let his face bury in her neck, seeking comfort but he was met with freezing cold instead of familiar warmth of her body. "Please, I can't lose you. I love you, Y/n, please..." The Protector pleaded. Who was he kidding? She was dead already, there's no hope. There's no use to plead. But he still couldn't help it. The God sobbed, hugging her body even tighter, letting his tears stream down his cheeks. The whole server now knew that she was dead due to the notification. XD felt weak, pathetic, useless. It was his fault. He was too greedy to get her all for himself. And this...was the price. His body wrecked with sobs, he couldn't stop it. He even tried reversing time, but didn't find her in the past. She was gone from the past as well. It was like she never existed in the first place. All the time they spent together was gone.

Nightmare. His 'oh so favourite' brother. "𝘾𝙧𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙝𝙪𝙢𝙖𝙣, 𝙄 𝙨𝙚𝙚? 𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙬𝙚𝙖𝙠. 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙖 𝙂𝙤𝙙? 𝙁𝙤𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙝 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙂𝙤𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪."
