(DISCONTINUED) When the Crocuses Bloom

Chapter 35

Winter's POV:

I gave the blades back to Techno so he could inlay the jewels. I didn’t really know what to do so I decided to see if Tommy wanted to do training.

To think the last time we trained was before the final control room.

When we both had 3 lives.

Now we both were on thin ice.

I walked away from what had become the smithing room, ready to start Tommy on hand to hand rather than swords or axes.

“We’re fucked, we were fucked from the minute they threw us out.” Wilbur was stood in front of Tommy, leaning into his ear. “‘Cause Schlatt knows -- he’s a smart man,” Wilbur sounded deranged.

“He knows that even if we fight him, even if we beat him,” I saw the look in Wilbur’s eye, and it rooted me to my spot. “We lost.”

My heart started beating so fast that I could no longer hear the already quiet voices.

What was Wil talking about? We still had a chance-

Then I saw the invite.

YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO THE MANBERG FESTIVAL OF DEMOCRACY

Our great President Schlatt has allowed us the honour of hosting a wonderful event to celebrate the removal of Tommy and Wilbur from our great nation.

You have been invited due to your continued support of our nation and your wonderful personality.

16th of October 2020 at 1pm

We hope you can make it.

I silently walked over to where the letter sat on a table. Who was this addressed to? No one in Pogtopia fitted those specifications. I flipped over the letter to see…

Technoblade?

Guess Schlatt knows about Techno’s presence.

Why would he want Techno there?

I was snapped out of my thoughts by Wilbur raising his voice.

“It means we can do what we want.”

I quickly pocketed the invite and went back to the smithing room, hoping Techno was done.

I slammed the piece of paper onto one of the benches and sat in a chair. “That’s for you.” I said, nodding my head to the paper.

Techno placed down the blades and walked over to where I put the invite. He picked up the paper and his eyes scanned across it, muttering out the words.

“Does Wiolbur know about this?” He looked up at me, eyes full of worry.

“Yep.” I said. Techno just sighed. “Your blades are done by the way.” Looks like the name has grown on him. I mutter my thanks, picking them up, looking at the sparkling emeralds that read my name.

I smiled internally at my new weapons.

“Looks like we have less than two days to plan a revolution.” I laughed. “I guess so,” Techno said, placing the letter back down. “I’m going netherite mining.”

“Bring me some!” I called out as he left the room. I needed netherite for my armour so it was a bonus.

I wasn’t ready for dealing with Wilbur and Tommy’s mess of a relationship.

I mindlessly rearranged my stuff whilst getting new clothes. I needed to shower, even if it was just to clear my mind.

I found a pool of spring water yesterday and still remembered the way there so I told Techno I was leaving.

I walked through the endless seemingly tunnels, twisting a turning until I heard rushing water.

I had left all my weapons in Pogtopia, since I wanted to be calm and not worry about anything.

I stripped to my undies and spirits bra and stepped into the water.

The clear, blue tinted water was the perfect temperature as I wadded further in. I sank down and let the dirt wash off me.

I didn't realise how dirty I was until I saw my almost white skin under the water. I was so tired.

Imagine what it's like for Tommy.

He had to deal with Wil slowly losing it. That should be my job to solve, as his sister and possibly the only other person who could talk any sense into him.

Almost the only person.

I then had an idea. I layed in the warm water for a little longer, basking in the silence.

I got out of the water and dried off. That was much needed. I changed into a black turtleneck, combat pants and boots. Placed my vial in a small pocket on my belt.

I needed to go out. Out of Pogtopia.

I returned to the ravine.

I shouted that I was leaving into the ravine after grabbing my armour and clipping my blades to my hips. I also had a black cloak on now.

I walked aimlessly through the forest, not sure where I was going as the sun set below the horizon.

I then heard a voice.

I ducked behind a tree.

"Wilbur, step away from the TNT." It was Tommy.

I pulled out my blades, the blades opening without a sound.

A twist snapped beside me and I saw lime green out the corner of my eye. I instinctively used my blades to scale the tree, something I learnt to do with Techno.

I was in the low branches when Wilbur shouted.

"Yeah, Daddy Dream! Wait no-"

Tommy turned away from the small room, leaving Dream and Wilbur. Tommy had a crossbow.

My brows furrowed. What would he have done if Dream wasn't there?

"Dream, I want to be your Vassel." Wilbur said what.

Their muttering became quiet as I crouched in the tree.

Dream eventually stepped out and I dropped out of my tree to trail after him.

When he reached a clearing in the forest to stop. I walked in behind him.

"What are you going to do, Dream?"

Sorry for the lack of chapters, I had some shit going on. I hope this makes up for it (^‿^)

I'm not sure if these things happened in this order, but:
A)I'm to lazy to check
B)I don't give two shits

I almost wrote I fucked behind a tree. I caught it when going to copy and paste, so that's lucky lmao-

Another chapter will be out tomorrow. Sorry to leave y'all on a cliffhanger.
