The War of the Gods - A Reader x Myct story

Chapter Three

I woke up in a whirl of sweat and dizziness, I was very abruptly awoken by my brother and he was actively shaking me as if it would make me awaken faster. I flicked him on the nose and lied back down, pulling my blanket over me "Cmon bro give me a few more hours" I could hear him respond but it just didn't really seem to process through my mind. I let my mind drift away for a few momen- AND THEN my blanket was ripped off of me completely, making me feel really cold. This action ticked me off and made me a lot more present in my mind "WHY YOU LITTLE- AGH-" He pushed me off of my bed "Heh, you'll thank me later—" he started walking out the room "—Love you sis, get dressed and meet us in the meeting hall"

I glared as he left, offended that he dared wake me up in such a crude way. I grumbled and got up off the floor, changing into an outfit I felt really comfortable in. I swear one of these days I'm going to make that little shit pay for the things he does to me..

....

I walked into room, expecting to see many people in the room, but it ended up only being Father and Fundy... "Lock the door behind you" I obliged and looked at him cautiously.. "You wanted to see us..?" He nodded and pulled out two chairs next to him. "Sit, we have many important topics to talk about." We sat down, the two of us majorly confused and wanting to know what's going on "First of all.. I would like to apologize— I know I haven't been the best father, I know I haven't been very present in the action of training and raising you to be ready for who you want to be. On that note, the three of us need to talk about something-" A lump rose in my throat along with the sinking feeling in my stomach "-the heir to the thrown. I have sent a long time thinking about this but I think the two of you are ready to hear this.. Fundy, my dear son, I want you to be your sisters advisor for.. well for when she steps up to become queen." The two of us were shocked.. I'm not ready for this! Fundy is the son, isn't he supposed to become king? I felt let down.. I don't want to be held down by the shackles of nobility, much less royalty. "With all due respect-" "I have been training ruthlessly for YEARS- Only for you to say SHE is going to pick up the crown?! How in all of the underworld is that FAIR?!" I wanted to shrink back in my chair..​​​​​​ I wanted to not be in this room, I understood why he was angry, in my opinion it was completely justified! I was about to finish my statement about not wanting to be that type of leader, I would rather become a knight of some sort, or a mage- but then Fundy got up and stormed out the room.. slamming the door at he exited.

"I.. I'm sorry for Fundys behavior but Father.. you MUST understand that is isn't fair to him.. I don't want this, he does. Please just let him take the responsibility; I'd rather be doing something else, something with more freedom" "No" "But-" "Y/n I said no. You are the eldest. You are the one who is best prepared for the PEOPLE. Yes, your brother has been training for the fighting, for the action of wielding a blade in the name of war. But you.. you care about people."

I looked into his eyes, not sure if I looked angry or dissapointed. I left the room, not caring for what else he had to say, what I need to do right now is help Fundy. While walking I saw Dream doning some armor and grabbing some weapons in the armory "Dream..? Where are you going? You only got back a few weeks ago, are you going back to the front lines already?!" "Y/n calm down; Your father is just sending me and a battalion of knights to take care of a rebellion in a neighboring town. That's all. And when we are done I'll be coming right back, I promise." "..." "..." He hugged me, it was a bit uncomfortable because of the cold metal armor but I hugged him back "You better.. And if you get hurt I'm killing you." He chuckled at that, "Sure you are, cause you could harm the only best friend you've ever known." We stayed silent some more and just stayed in the hug for a little bit

"I need to go now.." I just griped tighter, even it it was rather uncomfortable "Y/n.. please I might get in trouble for being late." I groaned and let go, he walked out the room, leaving me alone... Oh shit, right I need to go find Fundy!

...

I couldn't find him in his room, in the garden, in the stables, hell I couldn't find him just about anywhere! I decided to resign trying to find him for the day, kind of wanting to be alone in a special place.. I went up to the tower I showed Dream a few days ago.. as I was about to open the hatch I heard crying.. of course.. I opened it slowly and climbed up, slowly walking up behind him and sitting next to him, letting our legs hang of the ledge past the rails "F.. Fundy I-" He took one look at me and started sobbing, hugging me tightly and not letting go. He buried his head in my shoulder, and I wrapped my arms around him.. "Fundy.. I'm sorry.." I felt him shake his head, almost as if he was telling me no ".."

We stayed there for what felt like hours, I let him cry into my shoulder and held him protectively, running my hand through his bright orange hair. He eventually calmed down and continued to just hug me "I'm sorry.. I-I shouldn't have ran off like that.." I smiled slightly.. "Fundy it's ok.. if I were in your position I would have done the same thing.." He stayed silent and I lightly pushed him off me, seeing he seemed deep in thought.. He suddenly looked me dead in the eyes, almost looking angry "Why would dad do this..? He knows how I feel and he still pulled this..!" I shook my head "You know he doesn't want to hurt anyone-" "That's bullshit" I couldn't bring myself to respond, I mean I was a little bit shocked.. "And you know it.. We.." An odd look donned on his face, with a slight grin "We should make him know how it feels" I felt my eyes widen, he wouldn't actually.. "You'll help me right? Your my sister, the one who wouldn't do anything to hurt me on purpose?" I was a little scared but majorly concerned "W-what's with that look?! I'm not crazy-" He started acting a bit irrational, panicked "-I-I'm not!! Am not crazy am I?!" My breath hitched "F-Fundy.. I-" "You think I'm crazy don't you?! I'm not crazy! You don't believe me! Why won't you believe me?!"

He got up suddenly and I followed soon after, worried for my brother "Get away from me! I'm going to get what I deserve!! I'm going to prove to EVERYONE that I'm worthy! I'm going to prove everything, without any help. I don't need you! You don't even believe me!" I could feel the hot tears on the edge of my eyes, my vision growing foggy

He opened the hatch and ran off, supposedly to his room. I sat down again, trying to calm down, not knowing what to do

What even can I do?
