Dreaming of an Empire - Dream SMP Meets Empires SMP

Prologue

|Prologue|

It had been a few days since Sam and Quackity found out that Dream and Techno were out of prison. Sam was still double checking everything, even the dead end tunnel that Dream had built under his toilet. He found no leads about where Dream had gone, and Sam was getting frustrated.

Quackity, on the other hand, was preparing for all our war once he found Dream.

Everyone had heard about Dream's miraculous escape from prison, even Technoblade, who was shocked at the fact that he had escaped after he did. Techno was confused as all hell. He didn't know what had happened to help Dream escape, only Dream himself knew. Or that's what he thought, at least.

Truth is, not even Dream knew where he had been sent to.

Quackity paced the floor of his casino, mumbling to himself about what to do, when he suddenly noticed a cold breeze coming from what he thought was an open window. He turned around, expecting to have to close an open window, only to freeze once he saw a portal there.

"What the- HUH!?" He thought he was seeing shit, and so he rubbed his eyes and blinked, but the portal was still there. He noticed that it led to an empty clearing, one he had never seen anywhere in the SMP or the outlands of it. What the fuck? Where is that?? A weird figure suddenly appeared on the other side and noticed him. The figure was also confused on what was happening.

"Hello?" Now that Quackity got a good look at him, and heard his voice, he looked like a strange, Scottish demon, but he wasn't sure why.

"Um... Hello...?" Quackity stepped closer to the portal.

"Where are you?" The demon asked. "I mean... What is that place?"

"The Dream SMP, where the fuck are you, huh?"

"Um... That's hard to explain since you're from, I guess, another realm. It's called the Land of Empires, or Empires SMP for short." Quackity quickly became intrigued.

"Empires?" He asked, and the demon nodded.

"Why don't you take a look for yourself?" The demon stepped aside, and Quackity stepped through the portal. He noticed that it was cold and that there was an empire nearby, with a fire temple, a water temple, a river and red tentacles, along with lots of corruption, all around the area. He became even more intrigued by all of this.

"How do people do this...?" He asked in awe.

"Lots and lots of skill." Said the demon, and Quackity looked at him.

"What's your name?" He asked.

"My name is Xornoth." Xornoth replied.

"Thank you for showing me this, Xornoth. I think I'll stick around a while and see other kingdoms."

"Of course. Just stay out of trouble with any of my allies, if possible. I feel that we both have similar interests in power." With that, Xornoth the Demon disappeared, and Quackity went off to find and explore the other empires, not noticing that Dream was hidden in the woods, running back towards a kingdom in the mountains to warn the ruler about Quackity's arrival...
