Oblivion

Chapter 4 || Dimensional Guards

(No pov)

The first thing Sapnap did after the... events... that happened at the community house was going after George.

George had made a promise to a certain God to help Dream- not send him back to an emotionally damaging prison! What was his problem?

Sapnap stormed after George as the SMP members quickly dispersed to prepare for the hunt. He eventually stopped George around the Holy Land.

Sapnap ran up to George and grabbed his hand to yank him back, "What the hell George!" He hissed angrily, "You know we're not supposed to rat out Dream!" He added in a much quieter tone.

George whirled around with a frustrated expression, "I'm not ratting him out, Sapnap." He seethed, "But if we bring him to XD or vice versa, than we can fix whatever's going on on this cursed land." Sapnap snapped his mouth shut and sighed.

"George, stop making this harder on both of us, we promised XD that we'd keep an eye on him and keep him safe- yet here we are." Sapnap began and rubbed his temples. "I'm not going to argue with you, but I'm also not going to defend you when XD asks us why Dream's back in Pandora." Sapnap warned him, George sighed exasperatedly.

"If you're so worried about it, let's just go ask XD." He said and rubbed his temples. Sapnap nodded reluctantly and the two walked into the Temple in the Holy Lands.

Temples and other holy grounds were the easiest way to summon XD, to their knowledge. So, ultimately, the Church Prime Temple was the best way to contact their local God.

George walked behind the alter and began the process of summoning XD. Sapnap watched as George's eyes glowed blue and his hair floated with him, he chanted the unknown words before the glow disappeared and his hair and himself stopped floating.

XD was in front of them though, the god was in a mortal form, with his short green cloak and black tunic. He had beige pants with tall brown boots. His mask covered his entire face with 'XD' cracked along it. The only non-mortal thing about the god, were the six feathery wings floating behind him.

"What is the meaning of this?" He asked without greeting them, "I'm not supposed to check up on you two for another week." His state switched between Sapnap and George as he awaited his answer.

The two were glaring at each other warningly before George spoke up. "He's mad that I ratted out Dream." George snarked, XD gave a slight shake of his head as he realized where this was going.

They've had these conversations before with XD, they've talked about their plans and tactics with XD, they've talked about what not to do with XD. And yet, they somehow have to return to the God to complain about each other.

He didn't interrupt George though, he wanted to hear what it was about this time. "I told the SMP about Karl and Dream and that I'd seen them talking about going to The End, as well as the fact that they've been working together since L'manberg." George explained, XD froze and looked at George.

"The End?" He asked slowly, cautiously. "They- They're going to The End?" He asked, shocked. George's brow furrowed as he nodded confusedly, both mortals looked at the God with confusion.

XD shook his head. "Something's wrong, Dream isn't supposed to go to The End... unless..." XD shook his head before looking back to George and Sapnap. "Never mind, but there's a change in plans." He said as he faced them seriously.
