Ranboo pov

I walk through the empty night of l'manburg, crickets chirp at the dead of night. I noticed in the far distance there was an enchanting glow, I'm sure I'm not the only one who noticed, I followed the path to see a cottage core vibe house a small house with a balcony and vines growing round it, I noticed the glow isn't bright anymore after I came here. I knock on the door and waited, I heard the door mechanism unlocked, the door swing open to see a goat hybrid with duck pajamas on, he looked tired "mhm... huh? Ranboo? What are you doing at my house?... my sister isn't here right now... she went hunting" I wave my hand back and forth "no no no, I was just around here to see who's house this is and your the owner of this house?" He shrugged "yeah, living with my sister isn't great but she provide the food I need. Ya know the time I figure out new l'manburg, and there freedom. So I just build here nice and cozy cottage home, no one really knows this place, since it's outside of new l'manburg borders and I am concerned an outsider, so from then on, I wanna help out. But you know a bounty is on someone's head... sorry about my ramblings, oh look theres sam now!" I look behind to see sam, Her presence is enough to scare any forest creature, she was holding what seems to be a dead boar, oddly enough she had black purplish scale on her hands to her arm, her purple hue eye shows she is hostile but overall ignore both me and soul, he moved aside to let the tall hybrid in the house, she crouch down and head inside "ranboo your more than welcome to join us for a midnight snack!" I shrugged and walk in. The house seems so cozy nothing much, just what it's in the house. I went to one of the chairs and sat down, I look around more the wall hung with fairy light, some mushrooms and a bit of purple dancing flowers. Soul brought some small tea cup in a shape of the mushroom, I heard a giant plop against the floor to see the dragon hybrid is next to me and just stare at me into my eyes laying there head on my leg.

I laugh knowing my sister, she always kept a stash of catnip somewhere, probably had a rough day working her wings off to provide stuff for me, sure I was raised by her, but... I didn't feel like my dad cared enough for me, I'm like a mirror image of my other dad... well less of those chops and more of the fluffy side, now I just see as my dad as well... try to help me get through the stuff I never experienced in childhood, sam was always there for me when I was just a child, I see her as a mother figure for sure but... what changed? Sure it's been a couple of years, but living in a cave like home? Yeah not a chance, I look at my mushroom cup "so ranboo any news on what's happening? Like you know something? Consider you've been somehow relate to this dragon hybrid, deciding that I want no part of this but a festival? What could go wrong!" I sip on some of my tea, ranboo replies "well this plan was supposed to kill dream if it happens it happens. I just don't remember as much... I have a book to keep track, also that reminds me you drop this after you bumped into me" I look down to see the exact same book I've been looking for, took me a second before i grab the book and look through the pages, I sigh in relief "I'm glad you brought this back to me, the information resided in this book is all about the dragons that once roam this place, unfortunately they all seem to die off. Well except sam, she's a bit different. See she was actually born in th-" then there was a knock on the door "who could be awake at this time?" I stand up and walk to the door.

Ghostbur pov
I waited at the cozy cabin door, I've been curious about this place since this was all new plus with a very nice hue of purple lights. I hear the doors unlocked to see a tall tribrid with a duck onesie "oh hello? May I come in?" They step aside to let me in.

-----hermitcraft realm-----

Technoblade pov

I was talking to grian about a set of new netherite since my old one was about to break "grian are you really sure nothing can go wrong today?" Grian smiled "of course tech, beside what's the worst that could happen! Well except blowing up two places at once plus the wither you spawned in, man that took alot to take care of but we manage!" I scratch behind my neck "yeah... sorry... the voices kinda talk me into it" grian raise an eye brow "voices?" I shrugged "you can say that, they just sometime make decisions for me, now that I think about it I sound insane don't i?" Grian giggled "pretty much mr bubble gum, you know after this whole war nothing really change, everyone in hermitcraft are still friends were gonna move into a big house later on we just havent build it yet. But lately something... change about our world... I don't know how to explain this but there has been some red weed thing that's spreading across the shopping, I don't know what's going on but from what I gather or sam gather, it's some red vine that knows your desires just to manipulate you into joining. What a weird way" I chuckled "you seem to care so much in terms of staying alive" grian close his eyes and sigh "well... not really staying alive... just doing what's best, you see the hermits here can't really, you already know that. Those who come to visit and stay a while they got temporary immortality. Like a demi god but less casualties" I've never though a world exist without death looming over us, can't say I'm scared of death, I can never die!

Grian pov

I chuckled 'oh techno, if you only knew what's gonna happen today I'm sure you'll be surprised' then hear a knock on the door "who is it?" I hear a female voice on the otherside of the door "it's me pearl, I have tommy with me! Can I come in?" Pearl open the door anyways since I dont lock my doors, the blond blob kid zoom passed me and hug techno "Tommy what a surprise! Wait aren't you supposed to be on exile?" Tommy stop hug techno, looking at me and explain "I couldn't take it anymore so I decided to run away from the island with the help of soul, they help me out the most because of how they can communicate so well, beside the green fuck manipulate me into thinking he is all I care about" I sigh "tommy listen I understand what's going on so I'll help, honesty you didnt deserve that punishment, dragon sent me a letter about it, and that how you weren't at fault for it, and brutally got shot in the chest for trying to change dream mind" I get a ping from my phone a message from mumbo.

Mumbo: hey yo grian, dream is here asking for tommy? Is he with you?

Oh we are definitely fucked I look back at tommy and look back at my phone and text back a lie, knowing mumbo getting the tone of my message

Grian: no, not yet it's just me, techno and pearl that's it

Lying wasn't on my list to do, but I just hope mumbo gets the message that I wanted, mumbo did notice the tone, but dream isn't that dumb, I get a reply

Mumbo: he left fast, I think he got some speed potion, he's running in your direction

I quickly grab tommy and shove him into a giant storage closet where I kept some wing armor, what happen last time wont happen again. I toss tommy the invisibility potion "drink it and stay quiet, it should last till dream is done investigating my place." Tommy took a sip of the potion and he was invisible to the naked eye. I went out of the closet and close the door locking it shut. I went to the door when in the center room, so I grab the raccoon backpack and put it under the bed. And I hear the knock at the door 'shit...'
