"Techno, son, please," Philza said to the newly made vampire, "It was the only way I could save you."
"Maybe you could have done it without making me into a monster," The man growled, "let me die and maybe become an angel like you. What else did you do?"
He hesitated to tell Techno, he had made a deal with a vampire meaning that he couldn't go back. The painful process of becoming a fallen angel had already started, but he couldn't let his son know how much pain he was actually in.
"That's what I thought," He growled before turning into a bat and flying away to the castle looming in the distance.
Phil sighed, Techno could be so stubborn at times, correction all the time. He knew all the creatures Techno could have become at death, but he didn't want to risk another Wilbur, he had the misfortune of becoming a ghost instead of an angel or demon.
"Dad," small 8 year old Tommy came running out of the woods, the young demon boy had died just a year earlier, a much better fate than becoming a ghost seen as demons and angels still aged after death, "Come here, come here." He leaned back, pulling on his dad's hand to get him to move.
"Okay, I'm coming," Phil said, letting the boy lead him to a tall tree and pointed up.
"He's stuck," Tommy said, and up on the highest branches was a small boy who couldn't be no older than Tommy with light brown hair and white angel wings. The kid clung to the branch, afraid that if he let go he would fall.
"What's your name," Phil called to him, but he just whimpered and held tighter to the tree.
"Tubbo," Tommy answered for him.
"Tubbo, is it okay if I come up there," Phil called, but he quickly shook his head, "What if Tommy comes up?" Tubbo glanced at him before nodding. Seeing that as his cue Tommy niblely climbed up the tree, swinging from one limb to another, eventually having to use his claws to keep a hold of the tree.
"Woah, this is high, no wonder you're scared," Tommy chuckled and Tubbo smiled at him, "don't worry, that's my dad down there. He can fly up here and easily help you down. He's an angel like you."
"What are you then," Tubbo finally spoke.
"I'm a demon, my brother, Wilbur, got turned into a ghost when he died," He looked over in the distance, "I don't know where Techno is, he's supposed to have reincarnated by now. But I kinda wish he were still human, he was the best warrior there is."
"I fell from a tree," tears gathered in Tubbo's eyes, "I don't want it to happen again." Tommy's tail drooped, so that's why, it was natural to be afraid of how you died, but Tubbo probably had the worst fear for someone who could fly.
"Hey, I'll make sure you never fall from a tree ever again." Tommy promised, then raised his hand in the air with the other one on his chest, "Demon's oath."
"You mean it," Tubbo asked.
"For sure," Tommy put his hands back on the branch in front of him to make sure he wouldn't fall himself, "now can I get my dad?"
"Yeah," Tubbo said.
"Cool, we'll get you down in no time," Tommy looped his tail around the branch and swung upside down, he cupped his now free hands around his mouth as a megaphone, "Come on up, Dad!"
Philza spread his wings that had started to visually show gray and his halo had dimmed, the yellow almost no longer visible. He hid a wince as he flew up to them, he hovered for a second before landing on a thicker branch just below them.
