Chapter 8:Rise and Fall of L'manberg (Part 6)

  And here you are, outside of all the claimed land and right in the wilderness. You have messaged Wilbur beforehand and since you two have chatted and have a sense of what the other person is like, he trusts you and promises to get you and take you to their base. You lean on a nearby tree tired after arriving at the coordinates he told you. 

  You jump when a snap of a twig sounds behind you. You calm when you see that it is Wilbur. He looks a lot worse for wear and more unhinged. His expression has an indescribable lack of sanity. While you are shocked, you welcome that change anyways as this look of his is rather cool and you do like villains.

  He smiles at you, a smile that is less warm than when you first saw him. How you miss his once gentle and warm smile when he was without worries such as this but time cannot turn back and you won't ever be able to see it again. You ask him,' How have you been out here? I hope you don't mind me wanting to join you.' He chuckles,' Of course not, you are always welcome to join us.'
 
  You smile at him and put one hand on his shoulder comfortingly,' I am honored to be this appreciated, my dear friend. I have seen what happened and can't help but to come here and join you. I believe we are on the right side of history.' Wilbur's smile looks more relaxed and natural after what you said. He puts his hand on your back and starts leading you to where you assume would be their base.

  Your questioning of his well-being and offer to help have been brushed off by Wilbur who says you two can discuss this later. You are not sure how long that "later" is going to be but you decide to let this topic slide for now as insisting would be rude of you. And with your concerned thoughts for Wilbur, you have arrived at a hill with no entrance to a base. You joke with Wilbur, asking if he is going to kill you.

  He laughs and removes the dirt disguising the entrance. He leads you to a staircase to lead to their base. It is surprisingly big and looks like a ravine of sorts. You had thought that they lack the resources for a base but clearly, you thought wrong. Walking down, you quickly scan the area and compliment it accordingly. Wilbur stands a little straighter with what looks like pride. He then tells you that they named their base Pogtopia much like their presidential campaign.

  Discreetly, you look for traces of your long-awaited warrior. You spot a man with pink hair and a pig skull mask. You are almost certain he is the legendary Technoblade but you just can't be too sure. You are at the floor of the base finally and look up at Wilbur expectantly for an introduction. Wilbur suddenly remembers that you and Technoblade have not met before,' Oh right, you don't know him yet, do you? This man here is Technoblade, a famous warrior and a diligent man. He farmed potatoes for 14 hours straight on his first day, impressive, right?'

  'Technoblade, this is the person I told you about, Y/N. She is one of the kindest people I have met here and is here to help us,' Wilbur finishes, you are touched that he thinks you are kind as you try your best. Technoblade raises his head to meet your eyes. The moment you truly face him, your heart pounds out of excitement from meeting him finally and fear from the thought of maybe he does not like you.

  You scratch the back of your neck and smile nervously. You are holding yourself back from freaking out and holding out your hand to shake hands with the legend himself. Technoblade awkwardly and hesitantly takes your hand and shakes with a firm but gentle grip. He starts with an awkward 'Hallo' and you can't help but smile at his cute reaction. You happily state that you are willing to help with anything that he needs. He then asks,' Uh...So, how good are you at violence?'

  You laugh a little ashamed that you actually aren't a good fighter so your offer of helping with anything can't really hold up. You reply hopefully that he doesn't mind,' Well, I am not exactly the best at fighting but if you are willing to help, I am willing to learn.' You eye Technoblade warily, worry that you might be annoying him already at your first meeting. Luckily, he seems to not mind and is apparently okay with giving you a few tips here and there.

  You sigh in relief mentally, knowing that even if he is agitated with you, at least it is not to the point where he will stab you or punch you in the face. Not that you would mind, because if he did do so, you would have accepted it as a punishment for bad behavior. You know it is kind of a toxic mindset but you can't help it. You have been raised in an environment that made you insecure and more used to serving people.

  Technoblade doesn't seem to notice your short moment of zoning out or if he does, he is kind enough to ignore it. Wilbur is still there but you have just been too deep in your thoughts to notice. He looks satisfied with your interaction with Technoblade and says,' Well, I see you two are getting along, I will leave you to it. Come see me later, won't you (Y/N)?' You nod quickly and make a mental note to remember to meet him later. He leaves the base to the two of you.

  Techno moves from his original spot, you notice that he has been holding a sword and sharpening it this whole time. You hope you didn't interrupt his personal time. He smiles awkwardly at you and walks towards you slowly, maybe as to not scare you. You aren't afraid of him while knowing who he is and what he has done in the past because you are determined to befriend him and you know he is a good person at heart, no matter how he looks. Techno looks to be in thoughts, perhaps thinking of a good topic.

  You kindly start the conversation,' Well, although I am not good at combat, I do have a lot of resources, like ores, food, and gunpowder. I have been gathering them for quite a while now. And people probably won't suspect me to be one of you guys so I can collect info too. I do doubt if they would tell me anything of importance though.' Techno seems to appreciate your efforts and asks about the whereabouts of your resources and if taking them would affect you too much. You smile and shrug it off. You tell him they are at your house and you can get them anytime.

  You also tell him that you aren't afraid of farming and grinding for resources as well so you can accompany him whenever he needs help with things. Techno looks more relaxed and trusts you more now that you open up about what exactly you have and how you plan to help. You heard from a little birdie about his interests and preference so you make sure to lead the conversation to topics you know he is interested in, like strategy and mythology.

  He is well versed in such topics and starts to open up seeing you have similar interests as him. You are glad that weeks of imagining possible scenarios at night finally helps. You two move from topics like 'How to get rid of a tyrant like Jschlatt' to topics like 'What books you have been reading' and 'Favorite mythology characters'. He starts to trust you more and treat you as a friend. You two start doing tasks together, like mining and farming. With him here, no activity can possibly bore you. You start looking forward to working with him later on, in the war and outside of it.

Author's note: Sorry for not uploading for a while, had a bit of a struggle with Techno's personality. The next chapter will be you and Wilbur interacting.
