*** In an Alternate Universe to the Dream SMP, with demons, angels, and mystical creatures. *** Tommy was a child. But his mental age was far from it. His entire life, he'd been alone, trapped in Hell, and forced to fend for himself. Until the day he was left, clinging to his life, all alone. But he didn't die. Physically, at least. From that day onwards, everything changed. And it wasn't necessarily for the better. *** Started: 04 January 2021 Completed: 24 April 2021 *** Trigger Warning This book covers many dark topics, such as trauma, child neglect, and abus3, eds, and bl00d.

King Philza had 2 older sons, who were known for their awards and competitions. Prince Wilbur was a well known musician, who has a charming personality and really good looks. He was liked by his people due to his involvement with community and charity work. Prince Technoblade was a amazing fighter. Feared by enemies yet adored by the kingdom. He was also very intelligent and book smart. People even liked his love Greek mythology. The youngest prince, Tommy, was always bouncing off the walls with energy. He was funny and very loud. Pretty adventurous and quite the troublemaker. He was often overlooked by the majority of the kingdom, including his own family, due to his brothers successes. After an 'interaction' with his brothers, Tommy then discovers how much of himself and his own family he didn't know. How much was hid behind his back. Tommy breaks and finds something out about himself that he didn't know...but his father did? And hid from him? All of his history and he didn't even know it. His family veered him away from himself and everything true about his history. How can Tommy even handle all of this betrayal, much less whilst figuring out the person he thought he knew so well, himself.

Tommy stopped caring a long time ago. He stopped hoping for somehting better, because there was nothing better for him. So he lives, because he refuses to die, and for no other reason. He refuses to be the kid who lost to the foster system. So he fights, just simply to live. He stopped caring so long ago. So here he is. Relying on nothing and no one, and certainly not hope, but refusing to die. He knows it will never get better, but he doesn't have the energy to bother caring. He knows Dream is not better, but he tells Puffy he will be fine, because he will be. He has to be.

All his life, nothing ever stayed the same; Nothing ever just stopped for a moment. If Life wouldn't stop for Tommy, maybe it was time Tommy stopped his own life.
