The moment they arrived at Eret's castle, Cersei rushed inside with Niki right behind her. They had settled in the kitchen where she sat on one of the chairs staring at the gash on her palm.

Niki walked up to her as the two other Nightmares glanced at her as they started to answer the other's questions. "What was that?" Quackity asked. Techno sighed, "They found us." He said.

Gasps were heard which made Cersei roll her eyes. The stinging in her gash was making her more irritable. "Who?" Karl asked worried as he gripped Quackity's arm. This made Sapnap to look away.

This action didn't go unnoticed by Cersei. She glanced at him as Charlie answer for the three Nightmares, "The Ice people." He muttered.

Dream hummed in agreement, he run his hand through his hair making his hood fall. "So we have to fight them-" "You don't, we do." Cersei finally spoke. "No offense Cersei but you got injured by snow." Tommy pointed out. "Which you should start cleaning out." Wilbur added.

She nodded, "I will but you need to understand that I can't simply clean this." She said. "Why?" Sapnap asked worriedly. She looked up at him and she sent him a small smile, "Because if I close this, the icicles will travel to my organs and I can die." She said as she cringed.

"What do you need?" Niki asked. "A bowl of water." Cersei answered. The girl nodded and rushed what she needed. "Wait so the snow is alive?" Ranboo asked.

"They can be creatures yes." Dream said. "So like mobs? We can fight them then-" Tommy was cut off by his older brother, "They're not just monsters or mobs they have leaders and rulers. Ones that are willing to kill, believe us, we've been there."

"So they're like humans?" Tubbo asked as he gripped Michael closer. Cersei nodded, "Pretty bitchy people." She said as she cursed under her breath.

"Cersei seriously, you have to clean that up." Sapnap said. She snickered and nodded, "Yeah." She said as she did something that made the others cringe or look away.

She dug her pointer finger and thumb in the gash. Niki gasped and ran to Jack and Wilbur. She clenched her jaw as she failed to find it. She pulled down her mask which was a sign to Dream and Techno she was annoyed so they started to explain to get the attention out of her.

"The Ice are one of the hardest ones to deal with." Dream said. Techno nodded as he glanced at Cersei who was trying to find the icicles in her gash. "They're hardheaded and arrogant." He said.

The talking stopped when they heard something drop in the bowl. Cersei hissed as she pulled out the other two icicles. "They're bitches. I thought we agreed with that years ago?" She said as she grabbed the bandage that Niki gave her earlier.

Finally wrapping her hand she let out a breath of relief and she looked up. "These Elements all have their specialties in catching their prey. The Ice or the Snows use the icicles that grow at the touch of flesh to invade the body and kill from the inside." She said.

She cleaned out an icicle and raised it to look at it clearly. She cursed and turned to Dream and Techno. "What?" Wilbur asked. Techno walked to her as she handed him the icicle and cleaned the other two. Dream grabbing the one she offered him while Cersei raised the one she had.

"Sons of bitches." Techno said as he saw the engraved symbol. He looked at Dream who sighed and Cersei whose face dropped. In their hands were icicles and engraved in them were a crown, happy face and water droplet.

Cersei shook her head and stood up, cradling the aching hand in her chest she looked at them, "We have to be careful now, these things can be just around the corner so its better if we camp out here." She whispered.

Wilbur nodded in agreement, "Do we have to increase patrols?" he asked. Dream hummed, "Four people per patrol." He said. "Me and Fundy can do tonight." Eret said. Cersei nodded, "Okay, I'll join you-" "No." Multiple voices were heard.

She looked to see Techno, Dream, Niki, Tommy, Tubbo, Ranboo and surprisingly Sapnap spoke. George smirked when he realized that his denial friend was one of the vocal ones to react that way towards Cersei.

"What do you mean no?" she asked. The others stayed silent, not knowing how to stop the girl. That was until Sapnap snickered and walked forward, "May I remind you that you're injured-" "That hasn't stopped me before." She cut him off.

Sapnap raised an eyebrow at her, "That was before. You're not patrolling tonight." He said. "And who are you to stop me?" she challenged him. "Someone who cares." He answered without hesitation.

The others watched, astonished at Sapnap's bravery and courage. Well to Tommy it was idiocy, how can Sapnap say that to a strong and intimidating woman like Cersei. She will squash him like a bug.

"Don't go soft on me Sapnap." She said. Sapnap looked at Dream and Techno for help but they just shrugged at him. Clearly they knew not to fight her with anything. He groaned and looked back at her.

"Fine. If you are so adamant in patrolling then I'll join you." He said. Cersei snickered, "You will not-" "Yeah and who will stop me?" he asked. He turned to the others, "Anyone of you want to fight me in being Cersei's patrol partner?" he asked.

No one moved an inch and he smirked to himself. Smugly turning to Cersei, he raised his eyebrows at her, challenging her. She groaned and rolled her eyes, "Fine. Whatever." She grumbled as walked away.

Sapnap let out a breath of relief. The silence however was broken by Tommy, "How did she not kill you by now Sapnap?" he asked. "A very great question Tommy. I think our Cersei has found a soft spot for the blaze boy." Techno said.

"I knew it I called it." George said as he laughed. "Why Sapnap though?" Jack asked making Dream and George to look at him, offended. Jack gulped as he raised his hands in surrender, "Not in a bad way though." He said as he tried to save himself.

Sapnap rolled his eyes as he walked away, off to get ready for the night. Fundy was led by Eret to get some weapons as the others went around the castle, to either rest or ransack the kitchen.
