Ch 39: Take the Flint and Steel, Dang It

Ty's POV

"And I came across the fricking jackpot, a room full of, like, commands or something? A bunch of buttons. And there was one with a muffin on it – oh. Perhaps it was meant to be an explosion. Anyways, I pressed it."

Jason laughs and leans back in his chair. "Nice. How did you manage to get so far away from the base, then?"

I snort. "I ran. Thank the devs for dramatic electronic countdowns, amiright?"

"Definitely," Jason laughs again. "So, why-"

"Can I go now?"

He frowns. "It's only been about half an hour, Ty."

"Yeah, but- but I want to help."

"I don't have a clue what your D.I.S. or whatever is."

"And I don't have a clue why I should care. Please? Come on, you wanna help, too, I can see it in your eyes. Worried about-" I refrain from growling, "-Tyler?"

Jason sighs. "...Yeah. Little bit."

"Uh-huh. And I'm worried about my friends, too, Jason. We need to be there for them. They need us to be there for them."

Jason squeezes his eyes for a moment and then stands up. "Fine. But then we have to get you back here so you can rest!"

"Yes!" I jump off my bed and hug Jason. "Thanks, you're the best!"

"Hold on, Ty, you've just woken up! Maybe you shouldn't be running-"

"Catch up or sit down, Jason!" I yell as I fly down the steps, nearly running into Seto at the bottom.

"Knew you'd get up even after I told you not to," Seto mutters, grudgingly handing me an iron sword. Oh, I think it's got Fire Aspect on it, too. I grin and thank him before running off again, but he calls for me to stop. "Brice and I couldn't break through, and I've never heard of a mutant like this, but try chopping off their tentacles and burning them, like a hydra, kind of? I think that's our closest bet for winning." He hands me some flint and steel.

"Thanks. Wait- does this mean that two tentacles will grow back in the place of one if we cut it off and don't burn it?" I ask, eyes wide.

Seto winces. "Maybe..? Wait, Ty! One more thing. I... I hooked you up to the dream machine while you were unconscious. You shouldn't have been dreaming, but I put some extra magic into Brice to protect him and he can't contain it all, so... Anyways, listen. I promise I'll be quick.

"Sky does not hate you. Sky does not despise your existence. Sky does not want to hurt you in any way. I hate to tell you this, because he specifically told me not to, but- He loves you, Ty. He's in love with you. He'd die for you, he'd die with you, he loves you so much, and you can't let a dream get in the way of your love for him. It was just a dream, Ty. Just a fake vision caused by too much unused magic. It wasn't real. Please, Ty, find Sky, and talk to him."

I blink a few times, because this is exactly what I've always wanted to hear. This is what I've dreamed of ever since the break up a few years ago. This is everything I could ever ask for.
