(I did these for them. Let me know what you think. Should I do the others?)

A few days have passed and currently, Dream is sat outside on the porch watching as the snow fell from the sky. The cold made him relax. He likes the cold. It was still so different from the hot prison that was surrounded by fiery lava. It was refreshing, a constant reminder that he was out of there. Well, he could have gotten out whenever he wanted but he didn't, the reason, he only did what he did for the others. Getting out would have been selfish, in his opinion. Dream let out a content sigh as he looked up into the sky. The snow falling into his messy blond head. His smiley mask blocked his face from the cold winds. He heard someone approach him but didn't do anything or move already knowing how it was. "Dream you shouldn't be out long. Not when your not wrapped up. Your body is still used to being next to lava. The cold could send you into shock" Techno spoke concerned for the blond.

Dream knew Techno was right. He could get really sick because his body is use to being in extremely hot conditions. But he didn't want to go inside at least not yet. Dream lowered his head looking at the snow-covered ground. Techno sighed. This was a regular conversation between them. Techno would go outside to look for Dream to find his sitting enjoying the cold. Techno took his cape off and put it on Dream. "At least keep this on," Techno said as he sat by Dream. They sat in comfortably silents for a while till Dream spoke. "Do you want to spar? Like old times?" Dream asked looking at Techno. Techno nodded "sure".

Soon they were away from the house in a clearing both armed with swords. They clashed, sparks coming off of the swords from the strength behind them. "For someone who's been in prison for a year and injured, you've somehow gotten stronger" Techno pointed out as he jumped back dogging a swing from Dream. Dream laughed a bit. It was true. But he also had no clue as to why. "You've also gotten better. Have you been practising?" Dream asked rolling to the side making Techno miss. "Yeah, we might be at a time of peace but you more than anyone should know I don't trust them enough not to do something" Techno spoke again lunging forward trying to cut Dream. "Yeah, I know that. I just hope they don't" Dream replied bringing his sword up to block Techno's downward swing.

Time passed as they spared. It looked like a dangerous but beautiful dance with death. The way they swung their swords and dogged was elegant. Not once did they question themselves. They fought with confidence in their own abilities. But also each other, trusting the other to be able to take what they were giving. To them, it felt like seconds or minutes, but in reality, it was hours. Finally, they stopped.

They breathed heavily as they sat down in the snow. Enjoying the cold that came with it. Cooling them down. "That- that was fun" Dream spoke happily. "It was" Techno agreed. They sat back to back relishing in each other's company. Silence fell over them as they looked into the sky. The blue sky was changing to back, the stars becoming visible once again. The peaceful moment was ruined by footsteps.

They were moving fast. Towards them. More than one set. Multiple.

Techno and Dream quickly jumped to their feet, picking up their disregarded weapons and getting into a fighting stance. Ignoring their tired body's complaints. They came into view and once they did Techno gripped his sword handle tighter as the voice begged and demanded their blood. It was the other members of the Dream SMP. "What do you all want?" Techno asked trying to block out the voice. "Techno, step away from Dream. We have no internet to fight you. Where here for Dream" Tommy stepped forward telling Techno why they were here. All Techno had to do was move away from Dream. Techno wasn't going to do that. He knew why they were here. He also knew he couldn't fight them all. Even with the help of Dream. Techno pushed Dream behind him slightly showing at he would not let them have Dream without a fight. And so the fighting began. Swords clashed, arrows were shot, tritons where thrown. The commotion alerted Phil and Wilbur that something was wrong so, they came running. The clearing was soon turned into a battle zone.

"Die!!" Was shouted, cutting through the fighting followed but a pained groan. Everyone turned to where the sound came from to see Dream kneeling down with a sword through his chest, with Sapnap standing in front of him with both hands on the sword pushing it into Dream's chest more. It moved in slow motion as Sapnap pulled the sword out of Dream with blood spewing out, changing the white snow beneath Dream to a crimson red.

"Dream?!" Techno shouted running over to Dream throwing his sword to the side as he dropped to his knees next to Dream pulling him close to him. "D-dream, stay with me now," Techno said as he applied some pressure to the wound. "We both k-know what won't work" Dream spoke weakly. Techno did know this. He just didn't want to admit it. Techno's head fell down so that he was looking straight down. His hair covered his eyes. Tears streaming down his cheeks. Techno's hands fell from Dream's wound knowing that it was helpless. He felt so useless. He still wasn't strong enough. He wanted to protect Dream as he did for him when they were younger. But he couldn't. "D-don't cry" Dream spoke lifting his hand and whipping a tear from Techno's face. "I...I j-just don't want to say goodbye" Techno said his voice cracking. Phil and Wilbur where the only ones that where saddened by the scene. The others were more confused and happy. Confused because Techno was crying and happy that they had finally rid themselves of the villain manipulator. "The-n don't say goodbye. Say see y-you l-later" Dream told Techno as he got weaker by the second. "S-o see you later, Techie" Dream said as his last breath left him. His heart slowly before stopping. His body going cold in Techno's arms. Techno didn't say anything, he just cried as he held Dream's cooling body close to him. The voice grew louder and louder.

'Blood'
'Kill then'
'They killed him'
'They must pay'
'Kill'
'Kill'
'Blood'
'Blood for the blood God'
'E'
'E'
'E'
'E'
'E'
'E'
'E'
'E'
'E'
'BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!'

Techno rose from the ground slowly after resting Dream's cold body gently onto the ground. When he stood up to his full height with his sword in hand he turned around slowly, putting everyone on edge. "You're going to pay" Techno spoke darkly. Phil and Wilbur knew that Techno lost control so took slow steps back with there hand up in surrender. The others where scared. More like terrified. Techno was about to attack them till a memory crossed his mind.

"Dream, why are you doing this? You never told me" Techno asked turning to face his friend. "I just want them to stop fighting. If it means that the cost for that is my life and for me to suffer then I'll do it" Dream answered while looking at the stars.

As much as Techno hated the way Dream thought. He didn't want to ruin what Dream wished for more than life itself. Dream was truly a selfless person. So, Techno calmed slightly, he wouldn't kill them. "Leave!" Techno yelled. They where still in shock so they didn't move. "Leave now!" Techno yelled again swinging his sword. They left. Running away from Techno, who calmed down and went back to Dream.

"Why Dreamy?" Techno questioned sitting back in the snow. Phil and Wilbur watched crestfallen as Techno looked and sounded lost. "Why did it turn out like this smiley?" Techno asked, but was only answered by silence.
