You're So Similar. You're So Different

The God Realm Revealed

It's took a while. Quite a while.

The god realm was a difficult place to get to. It's especially difficult to get mortals to the god realm.

'The god realm was beautiful.' That was the first thought that went through both Dream and George's minds.
And it was.

The floor was made of beautiful white clouds. They were soft like a pillow and fluffy like candy floss (or cotton candy if you're American).

There were many flower beds. They stretched out as far as the eye could see.
They had tulips and poppies and cornflours and lilies of the valley and many more.
There was also rose bushes and peony bushes.

The houses were made of a beautiful white concrete. And down a long path made from a moss carpet was a big castle.
The castle was made of quartz and had quartz pillars, it was definitely grand and fit for the King of gods.

There were many people walking around. No. Not people. God's.
There were many gods walking around.

They engaged in small talk with each other. Some were looking at the group of four.

"Is that Prince HD?" One of them whispered to the other.

"Are those mortals?" Another one asked.

XD and HD shared a slight glance then turned to look at Dream and George.

"Come on, let's go." HD said. "Pay no attention to them."

HD started to walk away, the other three walking in suit.

They walked down the moss carpet path to the grand castle. As they got closer, George and Dream were in awe. It was beautiful. The pillars. The white marble that was kept clean.

They entered the building and walked down a even grander hallway. It had gold pillars accenting the walls. In between each pillar was a painting of what both George and Dream assumed to be previous Kings.

The floor was white and had a red carpet leading to another door. The door had a painting of a man. The current King. The man George and Dream assumed was HD's father.

They entered the room. It was not much different from the hallway but in front of them was a large throne with a large man sitting on it. He was taller and bigger than any human, or any mortal for that matter.

The King Of The Gods.

"HD. I was beginning to wonder when you would return." The man spoke.

His voice was loud and booming. It was confident and definitely the type of voice a public speaker would have. It was fit for a king.

"Father, I come bearing questions. About me and about George. And about my book." HD asked. His voice now different from its usual one. It wasn't a sweet voice but instead one that matched his father's.

"Ah yes.... Well. I'm sure you are aware of the contents of the book then. I know of it, since you asked me to keep an eye on it for you."

"Yes but what does it mean?"

"My son. Your powers. They were getting stronger, stronger than anything we had ever seen. You couldn't control them, so you came to me for advice. I told you about the ability to separate yourself. And that it would help with your powers.
So you did it. I warned you of the consequences and yet you still did it.
In doing so George was created. A mortal who had a part of your power. "

"So me and George are the same person...." HD said.

Dream let out a small laugh. A chuckle even.
"I guess you really are George, huh?" He said, laughing at the irony.

"What about me and Dream then? How come we look alike." XD asked, interrupting Dream's laughter.

This had all of them curious. They now knew why George and HD looked so alike but not why Dream and XD did.

"That XD..... That is just simply a coincidence. Nothing more. Nothing less. Trust me and to be honest it even stumped the council that. You two have no relation or correlation at all and yet you look alike.
We had speculated that it may have been some sort of cosmic reaction to the creation of George. After all Dream is younger than George. "

"Seriously? That's it? Just a coincidence." XD said, shocked.

After a moment of silence the King let out a sad sigh.

"There is something else. The reason you erased your memories about this." He said.

"What is it?" HD asked.

Once again, they were all interested in what the King had to say. After all this was information that was withheld from them. Yet the way the King spoke made it seem important. Very important.

"Now that you know the truth a price must be payed. George, HD one of you must die."

A gasp spread across the room. One of them must die? No that can't be true.

"Me." George said, without hesitance.

"What!?" The other three screamed.

"I am not as important as HD. I'm just a mortal. HD is a God and next in-line to the throne. He must live. I must die."

"That's not true. You are just as important." HD said,, his voice pleading for George to see reason. But it was impossible.

They all knew George. They all knew that no matter what they say, his mind would not be changed at all.

"I love all of you. Please remember that. The time I have spent with you all both together and individually has been the best times of my life."

"George." Dream began. "I never meant to hurt you. I loved you and didn't want you getting hurt by others."

"I know."

"I love you so much. I would give you everything you want if I could. You are the light that shines so brightly everyday." XD said.

"I'm sorry." HD started. "It is my fault all of this. If I wasn't so stupid and maybe I'd I had thought ahead.."

"Do not blame yourself. Without you I would not be alive. And I am greatful for the time I have had." George said, interrupting HD.

They all gave George a hug. A group hug.
Tears filled their eyes as they said their final goodbyes. Kisses included.

"You have made your decision." The King said.

And with that George disappeared, a smile plastered across his face.
