Two friends shared a loaf of bread at the foot of a hill. "Hey, Clay, what's with the mask?" The black-haired boy questioned. "I've never seen that before."

"It's a little something that I found," the masked man replied. "I found it when I was looking for your temple a while ago."

The boy frowned. "Clay—"

"Call me Dream for now," the masked man interrupted. "I don't want anyone else to know my identity just yet."

"Why?" The other boy questioned. "What did you do?"

"I just made a deal," Dream said awfully quickly. "Just drop it, Sapnap."

The latter raised a brow but didn't say anything.

Tommy felt warm, very warm, so he opened his eyes. He was laying on a bed under a little tent. He noticed that his wings were still out but was covered gently with a blanket. "I'd hide those wings," a buff, brown-haired man entered the tent. "Wings are a rare sight to see. Also, you hungry?" He held out cooked rabbit on a stick. "I made lunch."

Tommy blinked in confusion. "Okay," he said, taking the stick. He sniffed the meat before taking a bite out of it.
"It's not poisoned," the older man chuckled. "I'm a bartender. I know better than to poison one's drink." He smiled at the blond. "What's your name?"

Tommy looked up. "Tommy," he replied. "What's yours?"

"Many know me as Jacksepticeye," he said. "The Gaelic Gladiator."

Tommy blinked in confusion. "Where am I?" He asked.

"Oh, we're actually in a desert village right now," Jack replied, sitting on the pillows beside Tommy. "I found you unconscious on top of the mountain so I brought you down. I brought you to the desert because my friend had to sell some stuff, but we're going back to the old town to look for your parents."

Tommy shook his head. "I don't have a father," he said. "Mom left for the afterlife when I was eight."

Jack's eyebrows raised in surprise. "Oh, I'm sorry for your loss," he said. Tommy frowned in confusion, still. "You're alone, then?"

"Well, mom visits me sometimes," Tommy shrugged. "But I travel alone, yeah."

Jack gave Tommy a weird look. "You're a weird kid," he said. "Come out and meet my friend Sykkuni."

Tommy shrugged and followed the man out of the tent.

Blue fire burned the houses as people ran and scream. Every adult burned, and every child turned to salt rocks shaped like them. A hooded figure swept past them, white wings burning blue, and glowing blue eyes glaring into the dark as he swept at the people. The houses also burned. Then the fire dimmed down once there was nothing else to burn. However, the pattern of a giant white feather was left on the ground with random salt rocks shaped like children.

Follow the massacre

Technoblade opened his eyes. He realized that he blacked out again during his trip tracking the child that fled from their kingdom. The last thing he remembered was running down the forest with Ranboo, and it was night. They were following Tommy, who seemed to have been flying following the trail of light in the sky.
Technoblade noted the daylight flooding through the trees of the forest, and the sight of Ranboo writing something in a book at the base of a tree a few distance away from there. He looked serious.

"Ranboo," the pig-masked male called.

The dual-colored child looked up at his name being called. "Oh, you're awake?" He asked.

"Did I pass out?" Techno asked, getting up from the base of the tree.

"Kind of," Ranboo replied, getting up from his spot as well. "While we were following Tommy and he got to the top of that mountain, you just stopped moving and seemed to meditate in the middle of the forest." He looked up at the mountain peak. "I checked around the area after making sure you were safe, there's only a random fisherman nearby. Tommy hasn't moved."

Ranboo looked at Technoblade who was rubbing his face. "I think I might have gotten some clues," Techno grunted, scratching his head.

Suddenly, Technoblade felt the ground underneath him tremble, then they heard the sound of something large and heavy hitting the ground. A sound like thunder as the ground seemed to throw them up in the air.

"Technoblade!" Ranboo yelled as Technoblade had landed first.

Techno looked up and saw that the tall boy had flown higher than he had and large boulders were falling down towards them from the mountain. One was deadly close to Ranboo. "Ranboo!" Techno exclaimed, taking out an axe and his eyes glowing red. He jumped and grabbed Ranboo before swinging the axe at the boulder, only for everything to glow green and slowly rise back up to the mountain. Everything went back to the state it was in before with the help of that green hue, including both Ranboo and Technoblade being put back on their previous spots.

The two looked around in shock. Suddenly, they felt the ground shake again and they saw two trails of smoke coming from the other side of the mountain. They ran quickly to that side and found nothing but two tracks of steps that looked like they were heavy stomps.

"What was that?" Ranboo asked, turning his head to look at Technoblade.

"I don't know, but we need to tell Tubbo," Technoblade said.
