Dream's twin sister has no name. Technically, Dream doesn't have a name either, 'Dream' is an alias. There is a tradition in dragon culture that once the dragons are hatched, they are given a name by their parents. Only the parents are allowed to bestow a dragon child with a name. Any other attempt at naming the child dragons will be rejected by their being.

That being said, referring to Dream's twin sister as the sister would be incredibly exhausting. So until she gets her name, we will refer to her as Drista.

She had a vastly different experience from Dream after being kidnapped as a child, if only because her prison was a magical tower in a pocket dimension that shouldn't exist. Also, the fact that she managed to kill her captors after only 20 years. Very impressive, considering her opponents were powerful mages or hybrids.


Her experience in being captured was largely based on being experimented on and observed. Nothing was allowed to be too dangerous, after all, where else would you get such a premium dragon specimen. This resulted in her being significantly less scarred than her brother, only losing one primary emotion, sadness.

Luckily, when you have all the rest of your emotions, activating the ones that have died out is relatively simple, as long as there is a strong enough reaction that must include the emotion that is gone. Even more lucky was the fact that as soon as she escaped the pocket dimension that shouldn't exist, she was reconnected with her brother, and promptly given such a shock that it reignited her sadness.

Her brother was planning to die. How could this be possible? Unacceptable. She just escaped her prison in which the only thought that kept her going was seeing her family again, and when she escaped, her brother was on the verge of death? Whichever god cooked this up was going to die a painful death at her hands.

Needless to say, the overwhelming emotions managed to reignite her sadness to such an intensity that it affected even her brother over a distance of approximately 350 kilometers.Then her dear brother had the audacity to ask her 'not to cry'... she promptly exploded at him.

'Excuse me bitch, did you just say not to cry?'


'Yes dear sister, please calm down and understand why I have to do this.'


'You don't have to do shit, who cares if you go insane, I'll still protect you, you're my brother.'


'I have made my choice sister, please don't try to change it.'

The lack of emotion in his 'voice' made her mad. How mad you may ask? Well, if you asked the wildlife around her in the afterlife they would confirm, very mad. Her anger had no direction except not at her brother, she was mad at this kingdom that somehow her brother left standing, she was mad at herself for not escaping and preventing this, she was mad at their parents for not being there. This anger almost consumed her. If it hadn't been for her brother, she might have gone mad and destroyed everything she could reach.

'Don't you dare be angry at yourself, sister. You do not deserve that anger. If you must, take out the anger on the kingdom that imprisoned me. It would be much more satisfying for you to do it than I.'

Being angry as she was, she took his words without rebuttal for now and flew towards where the capital of the kingdom that imprisoned him was. The kingdom was called Prentic, and it would not exist after today if she had anything to say about it.

That being said, when she arrived at the capital, there was a grand event taking place, it looked like a trial. Somehow she recognized the one being put on trial, it was the one her brother was fond of... Technoblade was it?

In the middle of the intense anger that still threatened to consume her, a bit of clarity poked through and provided her with a plan to stop her brother from dying.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dream knew that he wasn't going to last much longer, so he had put all the rest of the meetings in one day. A speed run of emotions, he would call it. He imitated, he lied, he told them all what they needed to hear. If he was correct, and he always was, they would become the best they could be, and if he had the capacity, he was sure that he would be proud.

He had given the courtesy to leave his sister alone, he knew that she was grieving him right now and having the object of your grief try to comfort you isn't the best idea in her case. He gave her an outlet, hopefully, that was enough.

However, when his sister told him that Technoblade was about to be executed, he felt something. It wasn't an emotion, at least he didn't think so, he would describe it more as an urge to burn. And how convenient, there happened to be a capital city that was made from mostly wood. Perfect.

He told Phil, he had the right to know. He brought him along, it wasn't hard to get there, teleportation was the first of the magics that he mastered.

He floated above the crowd, not using his wings. Phil was beside him, decked out in his gear. Not him, he didn't need any weapons to destroy this country. He looked around and was stunned by the number of people that had shown up to his friend's execution. What had he done to warrant such ire?

His eyes then locked on Technoblade, who was in a guillotine, and was filled with that sense of wanting to burn everything to the ground again. How odd.

His sister, at this time, was filled with supreme joy that her plan worked, but she didn't know whether to be sad or to laugh that her brother couldn't recognize that he was feeling an emotion. Anger, to be specific. She had allowed her anger to fuel his spark of anger that ignited when he heard that Technoblade was getting executed. For now though, she would watch the show that he was about to put on, she could feel it was about to happen.

"Techno!" Dream started with fake cheeriness, not that anyone but Technoblade and his sister could tell. "How did you manage to offend an entire country in little over a month? Impressive."

"Yeah, I know right. I thought it would take a bit longer, but apparently everyone hates you so much that being your friend is enough to warrant a death sentence." Techno responded, always the monotonous one.

"Hehehe." Dream laughed the fakest laugh one could ever laugh, and it sent shivers down everyone's spine. "I guess that's fair, they must have a grand wizard who could see into the future." He paused, then let his voice become deadly, his words were the kind that could kill you from fear of hearing them. "How else would they know that I would be the one to kill them all."
