The Rise ~Wilbur x oc~

30

We sat around for a bit, Dream expected them to come back up at some point. And soon they did, however from elsewhere and Wilbur and Tommy made their way over.
"Dream, I'm here to negotiate surrender" Wilbur said.
"Okay" Dream said.
"I'd say we fought well" Wilbur started.
"You can say that" Dream said and I knew him well enough to know a smirk was behind the mask.
"What do you mean you can say that?" Wilbur asked as a grumble came from Tommy causing the Dream team to laugh.
"You had such a disadvantage" Dream said.
"Dream don't say that to us, we fought incredibly. Right, you egotistical green-" Tommy cut the rest of his sentence short.
"You fought incredibly well, we just fought a little bit better" Dream said.
"Dream, you know what?" Tommy started up, "oh yeah you know what about we fight"
"Tommy" Wilbur tried to calm the younger boy,
"Why don't we one versus one. Why don't we have a little bow duel alright. You and me, 1v1 a one man show down you son of a bitch" Tommy continued as Wilbur tried to get him to stop.
"Dream we've had our disagreements but this man doesn't speak for me all right" Wilbur said.
"Let's duel Dream, you've already blown up all our shit, what have you got to lose. Let's do it, one versus one. I don't care, in front of everyone" Tommy continued.
"Tommy I asked one thing of you" Wilbur said.
"What's the details of the 1v1?" Dream asked.
"Poisened arrows, 10 paces then we shoot eachother" Tommy said. Poisened arrows. One of them was going to die.
"If you win, what happens and what if I win?" Dream asked.
"If we win" Tommy took a breath, "You know what, because Dream I know what you want, your pride and another victory. You want this win. A one versus one for L'manberg, right, me versus you all right"
"Tommy this isn't worth it, Tommy" Wilbur tried to get him to back down. "Tommy your life is worth more than the revolution"
"Look around us all right. For the independence" Tommy said.
"This man does not speak for me Dream, but if this is something you're willing to do, and something you're willing to do, then I will let it happen" Wilbur said.
"Alright, tonight at dusk" Dream said. Tommy nodded.
"For L'manberg" Tommy said.

At dusk we met up on the prime path at a bridge section over a pond. Dreams friends on one side, the citizens of L'manberg on the other. Both side Phsycing up their champion. I didn't know who I wanted to win. I didn't want either of them to lose a life in a silly duel. The sun was getting lower and lower in the sky, closer and closer to duel time. Soon the two sides came together in the shape of their champions on the centre of the bridge. I was sat beside Sapnap on the hill, my tail flicking nervously.
"All right shake hands, I want a clean fight" Wilbur said.
"Let me just clarify. If you win, we grant L'manberg independence, but, we still recognise it as part of the SMP" Dream said.
"That's fine" both Wilbur and Tommy replied.
"Backs to each other and I will count ten paces" Wilbur said and the two went back to back, "when I say fire you may turn around and fire upon each other. Do you both understand?" Wilbur asked.
"Yes" they both replied.
"Ok ready" Wilbur said

Ten paces fire!

I watched as they both turned and shot they both missed a few shots until Dream hit Tommy as Tommy went for the water. Cries were heard from the other side of the bridge as Tubbo dove in and started to pull Tommy out of the water. Wilbur grabed onto Tommy and pulled him up onto the bridge.
"And it has been settled" Dream said lowering his bow. I got up and went to go help Tommy but my arm was grabbed. "This was the arrangement he agreed to"
"Please just let me help him" I said, my eyes starting to water.
"He agreed to this" Dream said and started to pull me away. I grabbed onto Dreams arm,
"Please he's just a kid, I can help him please" I begged. Dream just shook his head. I tried to pull my arm from his grasp but he was stronger. I looked over to see them crowded around Tommy. My heart ached for them. Dream pulled me a fair distance away, long enough for Tommy to pass, before letting go.
"I hate you" I said as I kept walking.
"There's a balance that needs to be kept, lessons that need to be learnt and agreements that need to upheld" Dream said. I stopped turning around,
"But it's ok to save YOUR friend, that's ok but saving a literal child isn't?" I shouted at him tears running down my cheeks only fueling the fire from the stinging pain. Dream let out a sigh and pulled me into a hug. I tried to push him off, punching his chest but he just held me. I ended up just crying into his hoodie.
"I know" he said.
