His Spider, Shroud

ch.17 Tis The Time

Tis The Time for another chapter! Hope y'all enjoy! Also the next one is going to be really good!😉

"Then we get our King back." Techno exclaims. I look up, shocked. Wilbur has always complained to me about how I load all my shit on to him, and if I'm going to be honest he's right. But never did I think Techno actually agreed with Wil. Techno doesn't return my gaze but instead walks away to the weaponry. Tommy looks just as shocked as me but he soon scampers off to follow Technoblade.

Ever sense Kristin died I've not been able to make the decisions I used to. Being King got so much harder and sometimes I just can't take it. So, when Wilbur got old enough I started to make him think out solutions. I made myself believe that I was helping him, this will all come in handy when he is King, but I guess me not doing any work has come back to bite me in the butt. I'm kind of glad it did, I shouldn't have done that to Wil, especially at such a young age.

I then go off to my room, the way Techno had sounded makes me believe he is going to take control. I'm glad I raised him so that he can do this.

///Tommy's POV///

'Its battle time baby!'

Techno is a war genius, the way he calculates and develops operations is immaculate and filled to the brim with precision. He has taken everything in his hands, getting the men, contacting our new allies, getting the right weapons, and inviting Dream and Shlatt to a negotiation. We of course are not going to negotiate, Techno has already told me endless of times how bad of an idea that is. All I hope is that I'm able to come along to the battle.

"So, when are we leaving?" I ask excitedly as I lean over plans Techno is configuring.

"We?" Techno doesn't take his tired eyes off his notes.

"I'm going." I state. He looks up to me through his lashes, a pink lock falls and so he pushes it away.

"No you aren't."

"Techno, I've been left behind too many times! I'm ready, I'm going to help save Wilbur and destroy Shlatt!" Techno has a proud glimmer in his eyes for a second but soon he recoils and goes back to his obscuring ways. "Are you kidding?" I whine when Techno shakes his head.

"No, its too dangerous." He pushes up his glasses that slide down his slender nose.

"Thats all everyone ever says to me these days!" I throw up my arms as I turn to leave. I make sure Techno believes that I'm going to follow his orders but secretly I have a plan aswell.

***********

Its the day we leave for battle. Its almost impossible to hide how excited I am but I'm able to conceal it in front of my family. They still don't my plan and I don't intend on telling them.

Its time to leave, so we all make our way out the front and Phil and Techno jump on a large cart that is being pulled by their horses. Surrounding them are villagers from Juniper who have volunteered to help, and other horses and carts. We all say our goodbyes and I watch as the civilians hug and kiss their loved ones.

I'm shocked when I see a particular ram boy that is wearing a pair of mint slacks and a large white shirt that is covered in dirt. I wait for him to say his goodbyes before I walk up to the teary eyed boy.

"Tubbo?" I exclaim as I grab his attention.

"Tommy!" He smiles as he gives me a quick hug and clears his eyes of stray tears. "Dads volunteering, I wanted to go with but he said it was too dangerous." Tubbo pouts. I just look up with a michevious look. "What?" He gives me a cautious smile.
