Cersei was in the library planning with Dream and Techno. They were waiting for Schlatt and Corpse to finish eating but decided on waiting them there.

The graduates of the institute knew they didn't have time to wait anymore, they had to do something and with the lack of result in their last trip, the Nightmares thought it would be better to have the duo around.

Aside from Cersei, Schlatt and Corpse were the last two graduates that didn't go off the grid and retired so they knew that they were capable on the field or to be left her to protect the others.

Techno was suggesting a place when the door opened, "Sapnap we told you, you can't go in there." Wilbur scolded the raven haired fighter.

"Well too bad, I'm here." He said. Sapnap turned to look at the trio and he hummed, "Sorry to ruin your meeting but I just got something." He said.

"What is it Sapnap?" Cersei asked as she continued to study the map. "A messenger blaze just arrived." He said making Dream to look at him confused.

"What did he want? We haven't even set foot to the Nether-" "It's my dads." Sapnap cut his best friend off.

Cersei looked up to see him looking at them with a determined look. "They haven't returned." He said.

Cersei leaned on the wall as George and Dream handed Sapnap some things to help him in his travels.

"Remember, even if you are made of fire, be careful." George said worriedly. Sapnap was the youngest of the their team so they always made sure he knew what he was doing.

"I know. I'll be in and out anyway." Sapnap said as he hauled his things to his horse. "Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" Dream asked glancing at Cersei.

Sapnap shook his head, "You are needed here." He said before turning to George, "Take care of him yeah?"

George scoffed, "Sure. He is an idiot." He joked making Dream scoff. Sapnap was about to get on his horse when Cersei finally pushed herself off the wall. The sound of her netherite boots hitting the ground making Dream to turn around.

Sapnap felt George tap him on the arm before walking away with Dream. Cersei nodded at the two and walked to him.

He turned and smiled at him, "Hey." He said. She hummed and pursed her lips making him chuckle slightly. Shaking his head as he walked up to her, "What's on your mind?" he asked.

Cersei let out a sigh and fixed his armour. She felt him watch her but she didn't say much, she didn't want to say much and Sapnap knew that.

She can't stop him because it was his family so all she could do was wait, "Keep your eyes peeled, don't ever lose your weapons and-" "Send you a message if anything happens." He said.

She narrowed her eyes at him making him laugh. "Will I get a hug?" Sapnap asked, his voice laced with hope. Cersei gulped and nodded slightly.

Sapnap walked to her, wrapping her in a hug. She sighed and hugged him by the waist. "Don't you dare die on me." she said as she gripped his shirt.

His heart leaped, this was the most emotion, care she showed him. There wasn't any imminent danger, there weren't any mobs but there she was. Cersei unraveled herself for him.

He kissed her head and sighed, "I'll be in and out." He said before pulling away. She stared at him and he smiled.

Cupping her cheeks, "You worry too much." She scoffed, "You forget who's in front of you." she said.

He sighed and caressed her cheek, making her heart falter. "I haven't. But I would like to assume you're worried. You are, right?" he asked.

Cersei sighed dramatically but nodded. He smiled widely at her, "Well then, I'll just have to go and find my dads as fast as I can huh?"
