Chapter 24: The Preparation

Against what Phil really wanted Tommy and Wilbur are coming, they had spent about a week preparing, now it's the night before the morning that they leave

Wilbur and Techno went to do something one last time before they left for who knows how long, Wilbur grabbed his guitar and a lantern, Techno grabbed his mother's violin, they walked out of her grave, Wilbur sat on the ground at the foot of her grave he took off his crown and laid it next to him, and started strumming playing a rising and falling melody, Techno took his red cape and his crown off and placed them on ground and they started playing right along, they played in the dim lighting of the lantern, the only other lighting being the moon and the stars that seemed to dance as they played, Techno fell right into old habits and played as he listened to his younger brother, they played. It was a melody words couldn't describe, it seemed sad but happy, mournful but content, almost as if they were saying they accepted whatever fate was to come from this trip

Phil had been collecting everything he'd need, Bad had brewed some potions for them all, mostly healing potions in case something bad happened, Phil had told Bad that if anyone asked where they were to tell them they went on kingdom business

"Im sorry Kristin, you wouldn't approve; but you know I can't let him go with no punishment" Phil said as he grabbed his potions and his sword and placed them beside his door, he looked at his bed- it looked so empty, he is going to kill the green bastard no matter how long it takes it could take immortal years, it's didn't matter how long it would take he would take it and get revenge for his wife, they would tack up their horses in the morning, Phil didn't need a horse he could fly after all, he would ride with Wilbur until they got out of the village then Phil would fly, and Drista would lead them to Dream.

Tommy was just happy he actually got to help, he wanted to redeem himself, he had felt so guilty for not helping his mother he felt like a failure, he felt it was his fault that his mother died. He couldn't tell anyone that because they'd just tell him it wasn't true, he didn't need their pity he knew he was right and he had to kill Dream, he looked at his sword seeing his face in the light, polished iron and remembered what Techno had told him one day when they were training, "Hold onto your sword like you life depends on it- because one day it might" Tommy had kept that with him, and he would no doubt have to use that lesson soon

Techno and Wilbur finished their song, Techno put his mother's violin back in its case, and placed it gently against her headstone, he made a promise to himself that night, that he would be back to play that violin for his mother, with Wilbur at his side. He unfolded his red cape and clasped it back over his back, he picked up his crown and placed it on his head.

Wilbur looked at his mothers headstone read the words one last time, let a single tear loose from his chestnut brown eyes, "Ill be back mom- I promise" Wilbur whispered softly almost not even able to be heard, no one needed to hear it was just for him and Kristin, he felt as if she could hear him, he knew he would be back and see her once again, and this time Dream would be dead.

They all went to their rooms to sleep for the coming days of insomnia, Drista slept in Ranboos room

——————————

It's was midnight, Tommy's mind raced he couldn't sleep, he needed to walk, he needed to move to get his mind to sleep, Tommy got up from his bed, opened his door quietly, and closed it quietly, he walked softly down the halls the moon shining through the large windows, he walked past Technos room, and saw light in the darkness coming from under the door, Tommy's eyebrows burrowed in confusion as he looked at the faint light, Techno never leaves a candle lit, I wonder- Tommy thought as he opened Techno's door it creaked slightly, "Who is it" Techno snapped loudly, "it's Tommy" Tommy whispered trying not to wake anyone up before opening the door any further, "come in" Techno said now in a softer tone
