Blessed || Sequel to Cursed

Chapter Sixteen || Proper Explanations and New Developments

(No pov)

After Karl disappeared, everyone turned back to XD- the God had turned into a more mortal version of himself and looked like an older Dream.

The God had shoulder length blonde hair that was pulled into a ponytail, his XD mask was settled on the side of his head, it settled just above one of his ram horns. He had neon green eyes that didn't glow and lots of freckles dusting his face.

His cloak was much shorter, just barely reaching his elbows, it had no hood but had the same eye-clip thing, it had sheep wool around the collar though. He wore a black sleeveless sweater with white gloves, he had black pants with tall brown boots.

The now mortal stretched his back before looking at the group. "I must thank Karl though, I desperately needed to warn you all about something- he saved me a long trip." XD said with a bow.

Philza walked forward with his wings raised respectfully, "Should we head to the war room then? It'd probably be better." The King asked, XD nodded.

The King gestured for them all to follow as he led them out of the throne room and to the war room. The group was close to the door once they realized that XD and Dream weren't following.

George was the first to notice, "Dream?" He asked, "Are you coming?" The sheep hybrid was locked in a staring contest with XD, the God was staring at him with crossed arms and narrowed eyes.

"Um, King Philza?" Dream asked nervously, the King turned to him but Dream kept his eye contact with XD. "The war room was where I found you to get keys, right?" He asked.

Philza was confused by the question, "Uh, yes, but wh-" he didn't get to finish his sentence before Dream ran past him, "I'll meet you all there!" He responded and was out the door in a second.

"Apologies, majesty, but I'll meet you there as well." XD said with a bow before chasing after him, "Get back here, little ram!" He yelled as he, too, ran out of the throne room.

A very confused Philza turned to George for an explanation, "Dream wasn't responding to his letters." George explained simply. Sapnap sighed, "It's his funeral." He muttered.

Philza nodded, "Well then, we should go before he kills one of my best guards, hm?" He said before walking out, the prince's followed him. Everyone else quickly exchanged looks before following as well.

They walked through the winding halls and tall staircases for a bit until a scolding was heard, George quickly jogged ahead of everyone to see what was going on.

He nearly laughed at what he saw.

XD a hand firmly planted on Dream's shoulders, the other was gesturing wildly as he scolded Dream. Dream, on the other hand, looked terrified- who was George kidding though, getting scolded by XD was terrifying.

"You never responded, Dream! How was I supposed to know that you were safe and the villagers didn't figure it out!?" XD asked loudly, Dream had caught sight of George by then and began trying to shush XD. "XD-" his brother interrupted him though.

George crossed his arms as he listened, "No, Dream! You agreed to send me back letters with your progress updates! I was worried that your scars had-" "XD!" Dream interrupted loudly, quieting the God when the rest of the group showed up.

XD sighed and pulled Dream into a hug, "I was just worried, Dee. We were worried about you after the... Incident." He sighed, Dream returned the hug and fitted his head beneath XD's chin. "I know, and I'll be fine." He responded quietly before separating from the hug.

The rest of the group came into the room a few minutes later, Philza proceeded to ask XD a question. "Do you think you could teleport my knights, commanders, captains, and generals to this room? I think they should be involved with this as well." He asked, XD nodded.
