There was no doubt in Kristins mind as to what happened, it had been 3 days since the army's left. She got notified by some of her reapers and crows of the multiple deaths, most where temporary, revival by totem or with healers help. Those that did stay where overwhelming of the magmas people, the entering people all bowed to her with respect, all knowing she was the creator and protector of the lands. She still waited, people lined the windows muttering as they looked to the dwanger queen.

"who are they? Travellers?"

This caught Kristen attention, she moved to the Palace doors, glancing to the windows. Three figures where stood, matched to the steps by the guards. She mover to the grand staircase as she recognised the darkened wings of her wayward husband.
The doors opened as the three where pushed in with two guards, cuffs on two of their wrist as wilbur snorted and walked forwards and looked around. Kristin hadn't seen her twins in what felt like eons, sure, she saw and spoke to them briefly at the wedding, some on less positive terms.
"oh, my boys!"
She said, walking elegantly down the staircase and opening her arms for them, happily accepting wilburs hug as she wrapped a tail around him.
"mumza! I came to visit you and Tommy and these two insisted on coming."
He said, lifting a hand to the pair in chains.
"I guessed as much, um, the chains?"
She asked, turning to her guards.
"they attacked the Prince wilbur, lady dwanger."
This caused a look of confusion.
"lady dwanger? Who's on the thrown?"
Kristin chose not to answer her son and instead glowered at Phil.
"why did you attack wilbur? He did nothing to you."
She said, brushing her sons white streaked hair.
"he said we where stupid for thinking we'd be forgiven by Tommy so easily so I hit him with my swords butt. Any way where is he? And why are the streets empty?"
Kristin sighed only to hear the doors burst opened with a burst as a piglin burth through the doors, some mild cuts and bruises but a bright smile as they panted.
" LADY DWANGER! LADY DWANGER KRISTIN!"
They said rushing to the queen's side, a guard held the messanger as they all but collapsed from exhaustion or excitement was unclear.
"marite, are things alright, what's happened?"
She spoke, kneeling before the exhausted messager.
"they are returning Victorious, lady dwanger. Its truly a sight you will be proud of."

"I thought they where waiting four days? To make sure that he couldn't take hold again."

It was this moment a reaper appeared with a soul. A red soul she recognised.
"ah. I see.  inform the maids, we feast and celebrate tonight."
There was a cheer as people rushing around to prepare, as Kristin walked past her husbands and sons, pushing  the doors open.
"was there a war, Kristin? What happened? Why didn't you call us?"
Phil said as the cuffs where taken off.
Smiling softly as she watched the horizon of the nether past the slowly opening gates as people filtered through other exits.
"I hand no need, the new kings had it covered."

"who is the new-"

"I SEE THEM!I CAN SEE THEM ON THE HORIZON! OH WE MUST HURRY THE PREPARATIONS!-"
the head maid said as people collected things from chests by portals and rushed to the kitchens. Looking to to the location you could see the first of the ghasts flying over the mountains as a figure flew around them, as they came into view it was clear the flyer was holding another person who was taller. Two people walk to the front of the army's, arms raised with swords as cheers arose and people stormed to meet their family's. Joy filled the streets as lovers rejoined, meeting together, children met up with fathers and people met with friends and co-workers.
Ghasts landed and enjoyed time in the lava pools with strides and magmas. The family watched as the sea of people split with bows, the main path was slowly opened as children cheered from behind them. Techno phil and wilbur turnt only to nearly be taken out by 5 excited children.
"DAD'S! MAMA!"
"They are here! They are back!"
"paps, purpa!"
Excited gloop noises came from the small slime as a small strider scanned over the crowd. Her face suddenly fell as she did seem to find who she was looking for, only to light up as the final people parted. And revealed two guards flanking the well known four, all of whom wore crowns, some scattered bandages and blood splateres or burns.
"Tommy..."
Wilbur ran down to meet his brother and wrapped him in his arms.
"wil?! When did you get here?"
He said with a smile, golden roses on his shoulders, ranboo smiled as Kristin and then turnt back to wilbur and his husband. Tubbo silently glared at the pair on the stairs before smiling awkwardly at Kristin. Purples, however, openly stared down the two.
"oh I came to check up with you, I've been keeping up the mansion!"
Smiling Tommy seemed to finally acknowledge the rest of the people on the stairs and frowned, steeling his face. The face would have stayed had his children not pummelled into him with a joyus squeal of 'mommy'. Tubbo snorted as ranboo helped them stand up, galiteya smiled and laughed, rushing past to her father as senora hugged ranboos leg instead.
"kids! Kids calm down! Shroud, Mike slimeon, we are okay, me and your papas are alright, okay?"
He said, crouching as they all cuddled into him the elder of the three sniffles as slimeon was balling their eyes out, rubbing foopy tears into their mamas battle robes.
"senora, we couldn't find your mother, but we wouldn't mind you joining us untill we do or permanently if you feel better for that?"
Purpled said, placing a hand on her shoulder and getting to her height. Senora looked down for a few moments, purpled was worried that she'd be inconsolable, instead, she rushed to clamber into a hug with the alien.
"I-if I stay with you will mikey and shro be my brothers?"
"and slimeon, they will be as long as you want that."
"and we will have a house?"
"with all the mushroom soup you can eat!"
Tubbo interjected, smiling down at the small girl.
"and a room to remind you of the nether, and nether portals."
Ranboo added, holding Micheal with shroud on his shoulders.
"and you'll get to be our little princess of the nether, just like your brothers are prince's."
Tommy added, slimeon smiling at her and laughing. Senora smiled, cuddling into purpled chest with a smile, nodding as purpled wiped away any tears picking her up.

"now that's sorted." Tommy made a hand gesture and all the kids ears where covered. "Why the fuck are you here?"

Glowering up at the pair at his mother's side who shrunk back slightly. Wilbur sighed and stood by them.
"I'd also like to know."

Phil looked hesitant but techno took a step forwards.

"we came to apologise, properly. We wanted to apologise for the wedding and the issues we caused there after. Also the dream thing."

Techno saw the obvious flinch at his name from his youngest brother, knowing he was dead must have brought only some comfort. But. It wasn't enough to heal all the wounds.

"alright. I don't forgive Phil. I forgive you techno. But not Phil."

Phil looked taken aback, before he could speak, techno did.

"thank you, Theseus. But I must know why I was forgiven and not dadza?"

Tommy sighed and moved forwards, his family right beside him.

"you, without hesitation, asked for forgiveness. Even though you had reasons that made sense, you still seek forgiveness from me. Phil, had no reasons to go against me, hesitated on asking for forgiveness, all while knowing he freed my abuser to help him get me out of my marriage. You had an act of honour attached, he did not."

Tommy spoke calmly, though you could see the fires burning through his eyes. He pushed past the older bird and left to the great hall of the Palace. Not before making an announcement for his people.

"I CONGRADULATE ARE VICTORY. WE HAVE DONE WHAT WE OUT TO DO AND FREED OUR PEOPLE FROM THE TYRANT."
Cheers sounded as he continued.
"BUT, AS ALL CONFLICT DOES. IT HAS CASUALTIES. WE WILL, AT TONIGHTS FEAST IN THE GREAT HALL OF THE NETHER. TAKE A MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR ALL LOST IN THE FIGHT. BE THEY ENEMY OR FRIEND."

another cheer sounded, followed by something that caught Tommy off guard.

"HAIL THE BEDWARS-UNDERSCORE-BELOVED'S RULERS OF THE NETHER!"

A chorus of cheers sounded, even louder than the last.

The family, surprised, still took a bow. Waving to their people as they retreated into the hall. The night went on, celebrations and mourning, music and talking filled the usually empty halls of the Palace.

"so, what are we gonna do now?"

Purpled asked, feeding the kids with one arm each as Tommy put a peice of roast beef in his mouth.

"maybe we can get a portal to connect to our quarters in the palace? We can go between houses easily then."

Tubbo suggested, polishing his mechanical fingers as he spoke. Techno looking at him curious.
"you could always move here, would it not be easier?"
Tubbo answered with a hum.
"I may be a king here but I'm still the president of snowchester."
"then we can do your idea, we should attach the portal to the nether room."

Noises of agreement where heard.

"Alright. Let's get this show on the road."
