Oh Brother Of Mine

16

It had been two days since Tommy had left the Arctic Empire. He had sailed for a day across the sea to Las Nevadas shore. But now he was here, and he could finally find Tubbo and Ranboo.

Tommy couldn't help but smile as he walked into the bright, flashing town. This was the first time he had ever been to Las Nevadas, and it's safe to say he would be coming back. There were so many things! So many people! Tommy had never seen a place so busy in his life!

The blonde couldn't help but stop at a few of the market stalls. Small, glass blown figurines sat in one, casting colourful light onto his face. Another held fruit with names he had never heard of. Tommy scoffed at one that was selling protection amulets against witches. Like a regular old stone is going to stop him.

"I see you're enjoying yourself."

Tommy's head snapped up. Beside him stood a man with dark hair and a scar across his eye. The man smiled at him.

"Um, yeah." Tommy nodded, "this place I awesome!"

The man chuckled, "well, if you're looking for anything in particular..."

The man's eye flashed with magic. A shimmer of golden light, barely noticeable.

Tommy's eyes went wide, "Quackity."

"Ah, so you do know me!" The witch laughed, "Yes! Welcome to Las Nevadas! Anything you could ever need, you can find here."

"I-I need to know where someone is!" Tommy told him, "I'm trying to find a friend- well, two of my friends- it's complicated- but I need to find them!"

"Okay, okay." Quackity put his hands up, "I can help you... For a price."

Wilbur peeked out from under Tommy's red cloak. He hissed at the one eyed witch.

"I-I'm sorry," Tommy shoved the cat back, "I don't have any money."

Quackity's eyes flicked from the cat back up to Tommy, "Money isn't the only form of payment."

Tommy took a step back, "uh, that's kinda weirdchamp..."

"No! Not-!" Quackity sighed, "Information! Information for information!"

"Oh!" Tommy nodded, "well, what do you want to know?"

Quackity hummed, eyeing the crow that flew above them, "Where is Technoblade?"

"W-what!?" Tommy yelped

"I know you know." Quackity said, "that's Techno's familiar up there. He's been following you since you got here."

"I'm not telling you where Techno is!" Tommy shouted, "I'll find my friends another way!"

Tommy turned quickly, walking away from the one eyed witch. He would never betray Techno, his brother. Tommy's steps slowed. But he had to find Tubbo and Ranboo. And the border would protect him. Or he could just lie as well.

Tommy didn't realize he had stopped until a voice broke him out of his thoughts.

"Having second thoughts?" Quackity asked.

Tommy looked up at the one eyed witch. Wilbur gave a small growl, but Tommy ignored the cat.

Tommy hesitated for a moment, "Fine. I'll give you your information."

"Perfect." Quackity smiled, "follow me."

Tommy nodded, following the witch. Quackity lead him to a large white building. Gambling games lined the floor as Tommy was guided through. He followed Quackity up many flights of stairs to an office. It was significantly less flashy than the rest of the town. Just a simple desk and chair, the floors lined with red carpet.

"So, where is Technoblade." Quackity asked, sitting down in the chair.

"He's south." Tommy said, "past L'manburg."

"Really." Quackity hummed.

Tommy nodded, "yeah..."

Wilbur hissed. His tail poofed up as he climbed onto Tommy's shoulder.

"You're completely sure about this?" Quackity asked.

"Of course!" Tommy told him, "wh-why would I lie?"

"I didn't say you were lying." Quackity stood, placing his hands on the desk, "are you lying Tommy?"

"No, I-!" Tommy paused, "how do you know my name?"

Quackity smirked. Out of the shadows of the room appeared Dream. The white armor of Dreams helmet glinted brightly. Tommy made a break for the door, only to find that it was locked. He whirled around to face the witch hunter.

"Where's Tubbo!?" Tommy yelled, "tell me now or I'll fucking-!"

"What Tommy?" Dream tilted his head, "what will you do?"

Tommy cast a bolt of crackling red lightning at the witch hunter. Dream simply sidestepped, remaining unharmed by the electricity.

Tommy turned to Quackity, "What the fuck are you doing!? You're betraying your own kind!"

"Well, he doesn't have much of a choice." Dream shrugged.

"Speaking of which, when am I getting Karl back?" Quackity asked, glaring at the witch hunter.

Dream ignored him, "Tommy, just tell us how to get into the Arctic Empire, and we'll let you go! Simple as that!"

"I don't believe you." Tommy growled as Wilbur hissed.

"Tommy," Dream stepped forward, grabbing the blondes arm tightly, "I'm getting that information one way or another."
