Tommy heard a knock on his door, he quickly stuffed the paper inside of his drawer and turned around, "Come in!" He yelled out, awkwardly leaning on his desk. It was Tubbo. "Oh! You're up! I was just downstairs helping Hannah clean up her workspace after making the ointment for you. I'm glad it worked. Wilbur said he wanted to be alone with you anyways. How did it go?" He beamed, walking over and lifting his brother's injured arm to examine it. Tommy smiled, "It's fine, it's fine... I'm okay, Tubs. He just kinda asked me about how I got this and if I'm being honest, I don't really remember." He lied.

Tubbo thought it was weird though. He left for thirty minutes and came back to Tommy poisoned and bleeding out. He couldn't just leave it alone. It's not like his Mom and Dad had the time to even notice what had happened. Wilbur told him it was a good time to apologize to Tommy but by the looks of it, that probably didn't happen.

"Tommy, Your entire arm was turning purple. Your wounds were deep... and new! Tommy, natural poisons are incredibly dangerous and we all know that." Tubbo paused, "Tommy You know you can tell me anything. We're in this together. We promised each other that we'd always be there for each other. Especially in a time like this. We can't keep secrets." He whispered.

Should he tell him? Tell him about the serenity and Dream breaking in just to attack him? Why would he even try to kill him? In the mindset of a fuckass like him, probably did that so Tommy could be a distraction just in case someone saw him. He's gonna return the favor someday. Tommy hesitated, "The head of the royal guard of Fremoor broke in, tried to kill me, then poisoned me, then told me about the artifact which is actually called the serenity and it turns out that it's not only our kingdoms that are in trouble, If we don't find this basically the entire world is gonna suffer for a thousand years and it actually never left Zariya." He explained quickly all in one breath. Tubbo blinked, somehow being able to catch all of that, 'Th-the what? What are you talking about? What?" He cried out.

"So are you telling me it was just displaced? What idiot would do that?" Tubbo groaned,

"Well... You see..." Tommy muttered, his voice cracking under pressure and the overall embarrassment of having to explain how this is technically all happening because he was being nosy. Tubbo lifted his head up slowly, and turned it to look at his brother.

It was quiet. It drowned Tommy. Tubbo was expressionless but oh lord was it terrifying. He was processing what Tommy was implying. Tommy let out a nervous squeak, feeling as if he'd be crushed by the look he was receiving any moment now. "Tommy please don't tell me you're saying what I think you're saying," Tubbo whispered, somehow menacingly without changing his expression.

Tommy saw his life flash before his eyes as he nodded slowly. He was expecting Tubbo to pounce at him, but it never came. He only stared at him, "Tommy... Why would you... Why? How?" He questioned. Tommy went over and pulled out the sheet of paper Dream had given him, "I didn't know it was the Serenity okay? I did it just to fuck with dad because I saw that the room was left unguarded. Then I just forgot all about it. It's not like they ever told us what it looked like or what it was called!" Tommy said, handing him the paper, "We need to start looking for it. If it's not within the castle walls it should be around the capital. A week's time is more than enough."

Tubbo studied the sketch of the Serenity, "If you were the last to have it, do you know where it is?" he asked with an expectant smile. Tommy didn't answer, "Well..." he muttered

Tubbo glared at him, "Dear god Tommy are you serious? Not even an idea? A single clue to where it could be? Are you seriously telling me we're gonna have to search the entire inner castle and possibly the entire capital?" He exclaimed, "Look it doesn't even matter anymore." He added in quickly, not giving Tommy the chance to speak. He was beyond furious with him, but now wasn't the time. They needed each other. "We have to tell Ranboo. Fremoor isn't that far from here. Maybe he can help us. We have to let him know that It was within Zariya the entire time." he sighed, going over to Tommy's desk to grab his journal. "And when we find it, we have to give it to dad right away."
