3Rd Person POV

It's been what felt like a few days since Ranboo was knocked unconscious for a week and had that insane dream, when in reality its been quite a few months. Life has passed on for the members of the SMP, people have come and gone. But the voices of those in Ranboo's dream still haunts him.

"Now what?" Ranboo asks.

"You wake up," Lani says. "But that's okay, we'll be okay here, you got to wake up now."

The short conversation plays on loop through Ranboo's head, taunting him on what could be real, making him doubt that everything around him is what's real.

Everyone else doesn't seem to be bothered about it, they've just brushed it off like it was nothing, like it was just a mere dream.

But every time Ranboo walks along the bridge across the L'mancrater he hears the haunting laughs of those claimed to not be real. He has sworn to have seen ghastly figures of those that have been claimed not real walking along and about the SMP.

Ranboo's POV

I am walking down the prime path going somewhere. I'm not really sure, I just need to clear my mind.

"Hey Wait up!" A very ghostly voice giggles behind me.

I turn and see no one there.

"I'm not going crazy, I'm not going crazy, I'm not going crazy," I mutter to myself, still looking around me. "I need to talk to someone about this, maybe Drista will know, but where is Drista-?"

"You called?" Drista asks popping in front of me.

"Where-? How-? What-?" I ask.

"I was bored," Drista responds, scratching her face slightly.

"Okay-, I was wondering if you are sure you don't have any friends who have a mafia or cartel or know of anyone who has association with pirates?" I ask.

"I mean, Technoblade has the syndicate, Quackity gives off the vibes of having a drug cartel in Las Nevadas, Bad has a cult around an egg! OH! L'manburg was created around drugs and started as a drug van, Puffy has the title as Captain and a pirate hat, Tubbo has nukes, Foolish has this weird thing with DreamXD, he built him a statue, and I'm pretty sure a shrine, and then DreamXD has this weird obsession with George, Purpled is scheming to kill a slime, I think-? I'm not really sure about that one. Punz seems to be for hire to kill someone, also not really sure about that one-, uhhhh, that's all I can think of at the moment," Drista remarked.

"Fair, but you don't know anyone who could be in relation to Technoblade-? Like a sibling of some sort-?" I ask hopeful.

"Mmmm, closest thing to family are just his friends, which is you and Philza," Drista confirms.

"What about Tubbo-?" I ask.

"Mmmm, Adopted by Philza, nephew is Fundy, son Micheal, Guess Wilbur's technically his sibling through adoption since his nephew is Fundy," Drista recalls.

"Nevermind, thanks anyways," I sigh.

"No problem!" Drista says disappearing going back to who knows where. Just as Drista leaves it starts raining and I teleport somewhere to take cover as the water starts to burn.

It's nice a little cave with some moss and vines along throughout it.

"We're finally free, Welcome home, It's just you and me now, Standing alone, The world is ours," Dream says behind the cave wall-? I put some lights around and put my ear against the wall to listen.
