Blessed || Sequel to Cursed

Chapter Nineteen || Beyond the Mountains

(No pov)

Dream had awoke to darkness outside his window and a yawn. Warmth and weight were pressed against his sides and he smiled, his friends didn't leave him.

He assessed his situation carefully though, he didn't want to wake his friends until he had to leave, that way they would get more sleep and he'd be able to finish packing. George and Sapnap would never forgive him if he left without saying goodbye anyway.

Dream carefully wiggled and slid his arm free from George's grasp, he froze until he was sure that his friend was still sound asleep. He then shifted until George was carefully laying on the bed, after that, he slid out from under Sapnap's arm and hit the floor quietly.

He, once again, stayed still and silent until he was sure his friends weren't awake. He then rose from the floor and quietly walked over to his wardrobe, his bags was laying half-packed on the ground beside it.

He grabbed new clothes before placing them onto a desk and putting more clothes and armour pieces in his bag, he threw an extra whetstone here and there, along with little trinkets, extra bandages, and a medical kit.

He zipped up his bag and grabbed his new clothes, he looked back at his peacefully sleeping friends before walking to the door. Dream hesitated as he reached for the doorknob before quickly rushing back to pull the blankets over his friends, Dream then nodded to himself before quietly hurrying out of the room.

The halls were quieter than normal, the light tapping of Dream's boots echoed as he made his way towards the showers- his and his friends' room had a shower already, but he didn't want to wake them up so early.

Dream admired the outside scenery as he walked the halls at an ungodly hour, the sky was speckled with snow and he heard the occasional rustling and showers from other rooms that had people who were preparing to leave.

Still though, Dream decided to use the actual shower room as to the bathroom in his shared room- something none of the warriors did often.

Dream finally arrived at the shower room and entered quietly, it was silent and empty, yet smelt of soaps and clean air. The tiles were pristine and a shining blue, while the walls were white with sinks on one end. The hall was decorated doors to rooms equipped with showers and baths.

Dream left the room half an hour later, in a new forest green cloak that blended in, a black turtleneck sweater with armour beneath it, and flexible beige pants with light brown boots. His mask wasn't apart of his ensemble though, he'd given it to Prince Techno as a promise.

Gods, he hoped the prince hadn't accidentally broken it yet.

Dream reentered his room as quietly as he left, he quickly tossed his dirty clothes in his laundry hamper before going back to packing.

He began to pack his weaponry next, a netherite axe and sword, a crossbow with a pack of bolts, a few back up Diamond weapons, and a few sturdy shields- just in case. He admired his axe for a few minutes, as he was quite proud of it.

XD had given it to him as a birthday gift a year after he'd shown up after ten years, he had helped Dream enchant it was so many good spells, he thought it was unbreakable.

As he was admiring the shiny and reflective axe, he noticed that behind him, a head was poking up. One that was very awake yet exhausted, Dream twisted around to greet him.

"Good morning, Sapnap, you're up early." He said softly, as to not wake George- whom was a still sleeping. Sapnap grumbled a bit before rolling off the bed, only to catch himself before he hit the floor.

Sapnap stumbled over to him before collapsing onto Dream's back, both of them let out an 'oomph' like sound. "Don' wan' you t' leave." Sapnap mumbled tiredly. "Could ge' hur'" he added as Dream held him stable so he wouldn't slide onto the ground.
