A Faithful Memory

Technoblade had accepted what his lonely fate was to be. A warrior who sought out struggle and conflict where he could, a man of war and blood. No other path offered peace from the voices in his head that demanded blood wherever he was, whoever he met.

He hadn't expected them to actually like someone. The first person in his life to stretch out a hand of peace and care, to look him in the face and smile in friendship. The first person Technoblade swore he'd protect, whatever the cost.

Philza Minecraft had lived a life apart from most people for as long as he could remember. His years of life extended centuries beyond his own memories and in all that time, he'd kept himself at a distance from everyone else. Until he met a hybrid with a spirit and strength as fiery as he had ever experienced.

And so Philza made his own promise. To let himself become attached. To give help and compassion to someone who was clearly starved of affection. And to build a friendship mightier than all the enemies they faced together.

They promised they'd give each other the world.
