Why Did You Save Me.....?

Lets Put It To A Vote

"Wilbur? Techno? TALK TO ME!"

Both of them were snapped out of their thoughts as Techno flinched and Wilbur fell back onto the ground, frightened of the sudden shout.

They both noticed that it was Puffy who screamed as Techno relaxed while Wilbur stood back up.

"Are you guys okay? You kinda zoned out there," said Purpled.

"Techno, do you know where dad keeps the photo?" Wilbur immediately asked.

Techno nodded.

"Can you get it? Make sure dad doesn't catch you with it though.." he said.

Techno nodded as he immediately turned on his heel and gracefully exited the room. The three were all confused at the sudden seriousness in the two princes' tones.

"Wil, whats so special about a photo?" Puffy asked. Wilbur bit his lip.

"I'll explain it, let me just think for a moment. I just need to see it..." he said. After a while, Techno came back with Photograph.

He handed it to Wilbur who walked towards the table and placed it down. "Can any of you remember Tommy's smile?" He asked. Sam raised an eyebrow.

"Why do you want us to remember his smile?" He asked.

"Just trust me" he said. Puffy raised her hand.

"I remember it..." she said. "All too vividly" she muttered.

Wilbur picked up the photo and showed it to her. They all gasped at the sight.

"Is that...." Puffy began but Techno cut her off. "Yes, it's our mother..." he said in his usual monotone voice. Puffy looked at it longer.

"Hold on....her smile...it looks familiar.." she said as she squinted her eyes trying to process what she was about to say.

"That's.....THATS TOMMY'S SMILE!" She yelled, the shock washing over the other two.

"What?" Sam asked, unsure of what Puffy had just said.

"Are you suggesting.....that Tommy.....is Philza's....BIOLOGICAL SON??!!" Purpled screamed. Techno nodded as he turned his gaze to Wilbur.

"There's something weird though......why wouldn't dad remember Tommy?" he asked, "and why did we find him on the streets?" they all fell silent as they tried to think of all the possible reasons....but they found none.

"Even Philza didn't recognize him or have any memory of another son..it doesn't make sense.." Puffy said. Suddenly, her eyes darted towards the book she had been reading. She picked it up as she flipped through the pages.

She began muttering over and over again, creeping out Wilbur and Purpled as she continued reading.

"Do you remember how I told you of my suspicion that the descendant of a Phoenix was there during the massacre?" she said. Purpled shook his head in surprise while the others nodded.

"Well, I believed that....that it was....it was Tommy..." she breathed out.

"There was something about memory when I was reading about the Phoenix....it was called..." she tapped her finger on the word. "The Forbidden Agreement!" she lifted it up and showed everyone.

"According to legend, every 100,000 years, a new Phoenix would be born. The old phoenix however, would slowly burn out, eventually dying and passing on to the spirit world. It would die when the new Phoenix was still a hatchling though, so the Forbidden Agreement was created among the gods of the realm...." She looked up at them.
