Stone Bonds

The First Step

Tommy was outside of the community house and double checking his bag.

Maps? Check.
Compass? Check.
Snacks? Check.
Clothes for any weather? Check.
Mini sphere stone map? Check.
Plushies? Check.

He kept looking at everything over and over again. He felt like something was missing. However, he didn't know what and had been trying to figure it out for the past few days.

"That's not enough to find them." A familiar annoying voice. Tommy looked up at the man he had shouted at to leave a few days ago.

"The fuck do you want? Here to tell me I'm being dramatic again?" Tommy asked with a snarl, his wings threatening to set ablaze once more.

"Nah." Dream came over with a bag of his own. "I'm here to help you find your family."

Tommy's eyes widened at that while Dream grabbed a shulker box from his bag and gave it to the young god. Tommy looked in it and saw multiple different potions and books and other tools.

"... woah." He breathed and looked up at Dream, furrowing his brows, "... why are you helping me?"

Dream huffed, "I'm still your guardian. And if this will get you to shut up about them if we look then I'll help you do it."

Tommy smiled slightly and closed the shulker, putting it in his bag before zipping it closed and standing up. "Alright. Let's fucking do this."

Dream nodded and began to lead the way to the portal dome where they will be transported out of their realm.

While on the way there, Tommy kept thinking back on a bunch of memories he had with his father and brothers. He smiled more and a determined expression washed over his face as he looked up more at the path. He's going to find them. He's going to see them. And there's nothing in his way that will stop him.

Once they got to the quartz and granite building, Dream stopped right at the entrance, "are you sure you want to do this? Because we can turn around and go back. You can go hang out with Tubbo and Ranboo or Niki."

Tommy nodded, "I'm sure."

Dream hesitated before nodding, "just trying to look out for you, Tom."

Then they went inside.

While in there, Tommy saw how large the building was. It was a giant dome with an opening at the very top in the center. Just beneath that opening is a circular platform that has multiple ruins carved into it.

Tommy remembers being here when Phil had left, asking if he could go with his father, the man obviously said no. Tommy was there the other two times as well when his brothers were going to look for their missing family members. Both of them had also told him he couldn't go with them.

Now it was finally Tommy's turn to go and find his missing family. He stepped up onto the platform and Dream hesitated once again, "are you sure?"

Tommy huffed and nodded again, "yes, I'm fucking sure."

Dream sighed and stepped up onto the platform, dragging his feet along the engravings and then stopping his foot on one, then he stomped on it and the two were surrounded in a blue light. Tommy closed his eyes as he felt the world shift around him, feeling like he was going to puke, before it stopped and he opened his eyes once more, being surrounded by people on a bridge over a canal.

He did it. He was on Earth. And in the location he last saw Wilbur's tracker. In Italy.

So this one is a bit shorter, sorry about that. I'm not sure when the next chapter will come out, but hopefully soon.
Anyway, I hope you have a lovely day/night!
