Ranboo has helped us with so much, and I can tell we were meant to meet. We had an instant connection as soon as he took my gag off. We connected over things as if we were old friends, Tubbo, him, and I talked for hours while we trudged through the woods to where the Pandora Castle is. Sadly we had to leave Shroud behind, but I know he'll be safe with Ranboo's cat Meow Meow. Such a stupid name.

When we get to the large obsidian wall I question how we're going to get in, it obviously wont be through the front gates and there seems to be no holes in the wall.

"Okay, you cant freak out with what were about to do." Ranboo speaks hesitantly.

"As long as we get Wilbur back." I put my hand on his shoulder. Ranboo then takes both mine and Tubbo's hands then theres black.

When I open my eyes everything is warped and twisted. I feel as if im about to fall over but I notice Tubbo is the same way. Ranboo stands beside our quiezing selves. After a few moments my pounding headache and the spinning world seems to slow.

"I forget people aren't used to teleporting." Ranboo laughs. Tubbo and I just groan. Then I realize where we are. Not only are we inside the walls, we're also inside the castle. Its a bathroom where we all stand. "So the dungeons are on the other side of the castle, I telported us as far as possible so im going to need time to recharge, we'll have to sneak the rest of the way." This makes me nervous, but I was expecting this to be a lot harder.

So the three of us creep out of the small bathroom and into a large room with dozens of paintings and three gold chandeliers. The floor is a golden oak wood that shimmers from the sunlight coming through the windows.

"Is the Dream Team home?" Tubbo asks as we lumber through the elegant hall.

"No, I think they are meeting with Technoblade." Ranboo breathes.

"So why are we sneaking?" I ask.

"Dream left behind Patches."

"Patches?" Tubbo and I both question.

"Dream's pet tiger." At that I stop in place, we're in a castle with a rouge tiger!

"Are you kidding?" I whisper, suddenly being a lot more cautious.

"Yes, honestly we should probably hurry. Patches' sense of smell is astronomical, she always looks for the new smells. Plus she also doesn't really like me. Dream has had to call her back multiple times when shes around me."

"You dont have to warn me twice." Tubbo exclaims as he starts up his pace. We quickly follow behind.

***********

Around half an hour in we've only made it halfway through the large castle. Thank goodness we have Ranboo with us because this castle is a labyrinth.

As we walk through another long hallway that twists and turns, my heart stops when a orange blur appears at the end. I look to my two friends and see how their faces have also dropped.

"Run!" I yell as I turn on my heal and dart. Ranboo with his long stride quickly takes the lead, he turns into a room and we follow. The room is big and has multiple doors around. Ranboo looks to each one and quickly thinks of which one is going to get us to our destination.

"Here!" He exclaims. From the hall I hear large thumps which must be Patches running after us. We shuffle our way through the door which leads to a slim corridor. We follow the tunnel as quickly as possible. When we get to the door on the other side we throw ourselves out and once again follow Ranboo. We run down the maze and I see as the tiger catches up. She leaps behind us and I see her hair flowing from the rush of wind.

"Fianlly." Ranboo breathes in sharply as we reach a heavy grey door. "Pull that lever Tommy!" He shouts to me. I turn to a wall and see a iron lever so I pull down on it. It doesnt budge at first but then it slowly moves. From behind me I hear Tubbo whimper, I look back to see Patches only a good thirty feet away. I pull harder on the lever.

It shifts and I fall foward into the wall. From behind me I hear both of the boys let out a sigh of relief and the swing of a door. We run in then turn to pull the lever from the inside. This one does the same as the one from the outside. I stand by the door and gasp as I see Patches only a few feet away.

"Hurry!" I shout. then a series of curses escapes my lips. The tiger pounces at me and I jump.

'I'm going to die!'
