End Quest

Back on the Road

"I don't know..." Dream said, "I mean you'll have to leave the life you've known behind and go beyond the paths you know." "We can handle that." Sapnap said. "You might not be home for weeks." Dream pointed out. "We'll tell our parents before leaving." Skeppy said. "How about this, tomorrow at noon, if all 4 of you come to be with permission from a parent, then yes." "Sounds good to me." Sapnap said.

Soon all that was left was Bad and Dream. "Shouldn't you be heading home?" "Well, I was wondering where you were headed before we stopped you." "I'm heading to the forest to camp out for the night. Not a big fan of staying in villages overnight." Dream said, "Plus I've always been more of a camper." "Oh..." Dream shrugged, before heading out of the village. Bad watched for as long as he could before heading back to his house.

Dream slowly pulled off his mask as he sat in a large tree completely covered by leaves. He was mixed on what he told them, while the company would be great, he wasn't sure if he was ready for anyone to learn what he was or who he was under the mask. He glanced down at the water below, his multi colored eyes seeming glowing back at him, sighing to himself, knowing that he would have to tell them one day who he was, a day he would never be ready for.

As the sun rose, the sounds of a slashing sword drew the attention of Sapnap, George, Bad, and Skeppy. There was Dream, wielding an axe made of iron, moving almost too fast for anyone to see. He was using the trees as places to push off launching him into the armor stands. The 4 could only watch as Dream moved and attacked things.

"Holy muffin Dream." Bad said. Dream slid to a stop, turning to look at the 4. "Good morning guys." Dream said putting the axe away. "You have gotta show me how you did that." Sapnap said. "Later I will." Dream said with a chuckle. "But know, back to training you 4." 4 groans made Dream smirk under his mask. "Cheer up, you guys are gonna be fighting with more than just swords today." Dream said. Dream walked over to a chest and pulled a few different things. "You guys will be learning how to wield axes, bows, and daggers." In Dream's arms where the mentioned weapons.

As the 4 trained with the weapons, Dream watched leaning on the blacksmith shop. They were fast learners, but still he could help and think if he made the right choice by making that deal with them last night.

Soon the time came, Dream had the armor packed in his bag, and he was waiting by the blacksmith shop, mostly because the blacksmith had something for him. George, Sapnap, and Skeppy, all 3 wearing completely different outfits better fit for exploring and adventuring, walked out of the shop. "We got permission from our dad." George said proudly. "Mom said I can go so long as I stay out of trouble and don't get arrested." Skeppy said. "And what about Bad?" "He's currently talking to his guardian." Skeppy said.

Bad, also wearing a better outfit for exploring and adventuring, raced over, "She said yes!" he cheered. Dream smiled softly under his mask, while his emotions were still mixed on this, maybe in the long run this would be helpful. Not like Dream had anyone else. The blacksmith walked out of the shop. "Dream, I thank you for letting our boys go and see outside the village." The blacksmith handed Dream a bag. "When you feel they are ready, there is a little something for them in this bag as well as yourself. Be safe out there all of you and good luck." "Thanks dad." George and Sapnap said at the same time.

"Alright guys, let's get going while we still have sunlight." Dream said. As the group started to head out of the village, George, Sapnap, Skeppy, and Bad stopped for one last look. "I'm gonna miss this place." Bad said. "Yea..." Dream smiled under the mask. "But hey, think about this," Dream said, "You 4 are gonna see so many new places, and meet some rather interesting characters." The 4 nodded. "So let's get on the road! Next stop, Re-Re Stona City!" Dream said, running off. "Hey wait up!" The 4 called chasing after Dream.

Meanwhile above the village, a group of 6 stood watching the 5 run off. "Well looks like your old 'friend' got himself some new friends." A deadpanned male voice said. "That makes this chase way more interesting."
