PRINCESS ANARCHY | DSMP

03. Already Making Friends

   THE TRIX, Stela explained, were three minor goddesses who each represent one of the three dimensions - the Nether, the Overworld and the End.

   Apparently, Sara and Stela overall don't know much about it themselves, and the things that they do know come from dreams, which they suppose are just memories of the time they were gone.

   Which means that Nia is going to remember the three years she's been gone at one point. Not all at once, and perhaps not all of it, but some of the things.

   Currently, Nia is in Sara's house, where Stela also resides. It's located in a country called Manburg, where they got trough a secret tunnel that leads there from Pogtopia. Which Nia found quite intriguing as she also wondered how nobody found out about the tunnel yet.

   The two women who live here have offered Nia a tour of Manburg and the Dream SMP, but Nia refused. She's not sure why, but she wants to look around the SMP herself, if anything.

   She'll find her way back later, surely. And if not, she'll just ask someone else.

   So, as she watches both Sara and Stela leave, each to visit somebody else from the SMP, Nia takes off to explore the new country and renovated Dream SMP.

   She stops by the white house, staring at it with a raised brow. Sara has mentioned she used to spend a lot of time there, helping Wilbur Soot, the past president of this country.

   "Do I know you?" someone asks from behind Nia.

   She turns around, coming face to face with a boy who's shorter than her. He has brown hair and eyes, small horns poking through his fringe. He's wearing a black tuxedo with a green, and Nia would guess that he works at the white house with the president.

   "Uh, no, you don't," she says with a sheepish smile.

   The boy seems very sweet, and she'd hate to make a bad impression on him by being rude. Besides, she is actually new to the new Dream SMP that seems to be filled with new factions.

   "Oh," the boy says, smiling at Nia. "Well, I'm Tubbo!"

   His cheerful tone makes Queenie brightly smile at the boy, and she relaxes, hoping that he doesn't think anything bad of her. She's left her weapons at Sara and Stela's house, borrowing Sara's black jeans and one of Stela's black corsets with purple lining to wear.

   "I'm Nia," she introduces herself.

   Recently, she's come to the conclusion that, maybe, it's better to go by Nia. Queenie is a name connected to her past. To a version of herself that she's left behind ages ago. The moment she fled her kingdom.

   Yeah, she's going to go by Nia from now on.

   "Nia?" Tubbo asks with a raised brow, cocking his head to the side. "I think I've heard your name before," he thinks aloud, pursing his lips. "Sara and Stela must've mentioned you yesterday, I'm sure."

   "Well, I've heard your name before as well," Nia smiles, vaguely recalling something about Tubbo and a bunch of other people being the only reasons the two women stay in Manburg. "It's so nice to meet you."

   Tubbo grins. "You too!"

   Despite just having introduced themselves, Tubbo embraces Nia in a hug, wrapping his arms around her waist, acting like they've known each other for years. She hasn't met a person as nice and warm as Tubbo in ages. This boy's childhood must've been a great one.
