The Lies We Hide Behind

-Warning this is an unproofread story with loads of errors from spelling to plot holes. Also I'll be including chapters one and two in this and nothing more. Enjoy!- 

Chapter One

- Take note of Yellow Carnations hidden within your heart for they hurt more than thorns -

                           -Yellow Carnation means disappointment and rejection. -

Pear coloured grass tickled the soles of his feet reminding him of a time long forgotten. Tall mushrooms shaded him from the humid heat as he strolled towards George's cottage. XD strolled towards the mortals home, a question pinned to the front of his mind. Knock, knock. No one answered the door. Sighing XD teleported inside of the cosy home. A fireplace crackled quietly as snores filled the home.

"When does the man not sleep?" XD questioned, staring down at his friend, the mushroom king. "George, I must speak with you. This is urgent!"

Groans and the shifting of George's position on the couch were his replies to XD question.

'Summoning a bucket of powder snow and dropping it on his head would get him up.' XD sinisterly thought.

Bucket at the ready he floated over George's head.

"Rise and shine sleepy head!"

"AGH! What the fuck was that for XD! I was sleeping!" George shrieked.

"I know, but I have an urgent question you must answer!"

"It's too early for this." George moaned.

"Too bad." XD stubbornly floated into George's way. "Now answer my question George, please."

"Fine." The other's posture was slumped. "Shot."

"What is that large black box over the ocean for?" George froze up.

"Why do you want to know?" A questioning glare was sent towards the floating god.

"I'm curious about what you mortals get up to, that's all." XD replied.

"It's called Pandora's Vault, Creeper Crypt or The Prison. Don't care what you call it, all that place has to do is keep that monster locked up. If it's released everything we've worked for would be blown to pieces." George growled.

"What monster?" 'Why didn't Dream lock it away in the end with Nightmare?' XD wondered.

"That monster was once a man, now he's a destructive monster with explosive tendencies. I've answered your question, so can we please drop this conversation now?" George snarled.

"One last question and we can drop this conversation. Who was the man before he became a monster?" XD asked, he knew the answer, but he wanted to hear it to confirm his suspicions.

"Dream was his name." George said fondly. "But, he's dead along with the past."

'I wonder did your plan succeed?' XD's mind wandered.

Across miles of plains biome and oak forest. Settled near the coast stood Pandora's Vault. Tall obsidian walls reached into the sky while angry waves crashed against its sides. Through the twists and turns of corridors lined with redstone mechanisms, in the middle a lava lake sat a five by five box.

- A lone Iris stands against the winds of time -

- Iris means Faith, Wisdom, Trust, Valor and Hope. -

Quackity's cackles slowly drifted out of the room leaving Dream and Techno alone. Netherite cuffs unlock as the curtain falls bringing to life the once dead puppets.
