Tommy POV:

It has been a few days since the whole hug fiasco happened. [Name] took pity on me and decided to let me say as long as I wanted to.

And seeing as I can't go back to L' Manberg or the greater dream SMP at all I might as well stay with her and I definitely don't want to go back to my exile base.

I just hope Dream doesn't find me. Ughhhh I don't know how to feel, like yeah I miss him but at the same time if I had a knife I would stab him. I mean thinking about him messes with my head.

"Tommy! Come on!" [Name]'s voice rang through the room.

I had just packed a bag full of snacks and whatever else I could find around the room. Thankfully since he was taking me out to go to the nether. A place I haven't been in a while.

I'm not exactly sure what she needs in there, maybe blaze rods, God I don't fucking know.

I only agreed to help her get shit for the price of her showing me more magic. I'm used to potions but she can control fucking water! That's Pog! I race down the stairs, Ant following behind me in his cat form.

"I'm here!"  I yelled.

"Great, to Hell we go!"

She tossed me a set of iron armour, though the helmet was gold. She herself only had enchanted gold boots. Ant also had gold boots on each of his four paws.

I suppose when you got magic you don't need much armour.

"Why are we even going?"

"I'm out of magma creams again."

She rubbed her the back of neck sheepishly. Being happy with her answer, I nodded. We walked over to a cave, the entrance was covered with a mix of vines and glow berries.

It's beautiful.

In the middle of the cave was an enchanted table surrounded by dark wood bookshelves. Ant sat down on a stone plate, opening the wall up. Behind the wall was a glowing purple and black gateway to Hell.

One by one we all step inside the frame. My hand finds its way up to my backpack sleeve. My stomach tossed and turn inside out. I feel my breakfast of pancakes coming up. Before I can puke up my guts, the feeling stop and I step onto the crunchy red ground.

"This way," [Name] waved me over. She and Ant stood over by a wooden fence. Huge cubes bounced around happily.

"Welcome to the magma farm!" She spreads her arms wide well wearing a smile. She throws me shears. I jumped as the diamond sword landed beside me on the ground.

I flipped the sword using my foot. It flew to my arm. I struggled to catch it. But caught it with my right hand. She walks through the gate, the cubes jump toward her.

"Be careful," I shouted. She dismissed my worries and went closer to the group of monsters. One jumped on top of her. I ran up to her and pulled out my sword.

"Tommy it's okay," Ant yelled. I turned to him, then back to where [Name] was. The cubes cuddled against her.

"What the fuck is going on?"

"The thing about humans is that we judge things we don't understand." [Name] yelled from over the slime.

"But don't they attack us first?" I tilted my head in confusion.

"Of course they do but only because they are sacred. We are the ones that send them into their fight or flight response." She explained it all too casually.

"I guess that makes sense." I walk over to her, putting away my sword. "But why the sword?"

"Just in case a Ghast come and attack us. They give zero shit about humans."

"How are we getting the magma creams?"

"Easy! Watch!"

She grabbed a bucket out of her bag and scooped up the green and yellow goop on the ground. She continues to do that for a few more buckets filling each one. After about four or so buckets she got up and walked toward me.

"I'll need you to carry two of these."

Luckily for me, they weren't heavy so I couldn't hold him by the handle. We walk side-by-side with Ant walking ahead of us. It was somewhat quiet for the most part I need the sound of lava could be heard. Until deep humming could be heard up ahead. Along with the sound of a pickaxe being hit against a soft metal.

Long pink hair was brushed back into a braid. Pig-like ears stuck out from both sides of its head, which also had a crown on top of it. Most noticeably was a red cape that flowed down to the floor.

Techno. My big brother. I can't go near him! He'll ruin my new hom— base.

I tapped on [Name]'s shoulder. "What the matter, Toms?" I Ignored the nickname. Too focussed on the male ahead of us.

"Let's go the other way."

"What other way? The portal is this way," she pointed to where Techno was. "Who that's?"

"The blade." My voice filled with bitterness.

"Let's go talk to him." She cheered.

"Don't bother. He doesn't like people. Hell, he'll fucking kill you before you even get a word out."

"I'm sure that isn't true. Here, how about you go home and I'll have a chat with him. You know I can handle myself, right? Just because I'm a female doesn't mean I'm fragile."

"I know. I know. But he never dies!"

"Well, I don't either." She smiles. "Now get going! ʖ∷ᒷᒷ⨅ᒷ ⎓ꖎ𝙹∴ ╎リℸ ̣ 𝙹 ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ⍑ᒷᔑ⍊ᒷ" She grabbed her staff that was wrapped around her back and waved it. Air picked up Ant and myself, and we flew over Techno. We landed near the portal, leaving [Name] alone with Techno.

Wind magic! That is so fucking POG! I wish I could do that.

[Name] POV:

Once the two are out of sight I walk closer to the Blade. His pink hair was messy tucked into a braid.

Wow, that must've taken forever to do!

"Hello!"

"Um hi..." He stood awkwardly, facing away from me and continued to mine more gold.

"I'm [Name]!"

"Mmm."

"You are?"

"Why are you talking to me? What do you want?" He snapped. His voice sounds mad. But his eyes were dazzling with sadness.

Is he afraid to get close to me? Why?

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"What?"

"Are you okay?" I repeated, though my voice was softer this time.

"Yeah, sure." He rolled his eyes.

"Your not." I sat my hand on his shoulder softly."You have been hurt by someone in the past. And I know it's not my business but I think it would be for the best to let that hate go."

We stayed quiet for a few minutes but it felt like forever. It was as if time stopped for the two of us.

Even though time magic doesn't exist. Imagine having the ability to go back or forward in time! That would be so cool, though I feel like I would start to forget the shit cause of all the travelling...

Suddenly he stood tall. His height doubles my own. He gripped on his pickaxe was tighter than before.

"I don't hate em. The voices do." He explained.

The voices? What is he talking about?

"I got to go... farm potatoes."

"Oh okay. See you, Mr. Blade!" I waved him off. His body seems to stiffen up. He headed in the direction I just came in.
