The sword pushed father into the back of my neck drawing a bead of blood.

"I- I'm a friend of Wilbur and Tommy!" I panicked moving away from the sword, holding my hands up and turning around to see who was holding me at sword point.

He did not look like someone who I'd expect to be living with the two outcasts. He had a long red robe and an elegant white top. His long pink hair was well kept and tied back into a loose braid. An elegant crown decorated his head. The blade he held was a dark purple and shining with the enchantments that adorned the blade, he also held a crossbow on his back. Along with all this he was not human, he looked to be a hybrid like me but with pig features instead of my cat ones, what struck me odd was the absence of a necklace with his alliance.

"You don't look like a friend," he huffed, lowering his sword slightly, "you're wearing the manburg flag."

My eyes widened as my hand reached up to the chain around my neck.

"I promise, I wouldn't be wearing this if I had a choice," I looked down, "my name is (Y/N) I fought in the revolution but was taken captive by Dream."

The man seemed to tense when I said my name.

"Oh," he put his sword back in it's sheath by his side, "terribly sorry about this introduction, my name is Technoblade, you can call me techno."

"TECHNO!" We heard the familiar voice of Tommy coming from the stairs, followed by hurried footsteps, "who's there?" Tommy came from the stairs behind me as he looked up from the floor making eye contact with me.

"(Y/N)!" He yelled as he lunged forward to tackling me with a hug.

"How's it been over in L'Manberg?" We separated from the right hug.

"We'll it's manberg now," I said slightly deflated.

"Oh ya I forgot," the boy laughed slightly, "We'll I see you meet the Blade," he motioned toward the large pig-like man in front of us.

"Oh ya," I laughed slightly.

"He's our key to winning!" The boy smiled brightly running beside the taller man.

"Where's Wilbur?"

"Oh he's downstairs."

Techno passed me making his own way down the spiral staircase.

"Coke on, I'll show you around!" Tommy followed techno down the stairs.

We reached a ravine as the stairs ended. There were planks of wood stretching from one end to the other with lanterns hanging from them. Wilbur stood in front of a chest searching around in it for something. Wilbur looked up hearing the footsteps enter the cave.

"Wilbur!" I waved at him running over to engulf him in a hug.

"(Y/N) what are you doing here," his gruff voice soothed my nearvs from before.

"Shlatt was getting on my nerves so I'm on a vacation." I finally noticed his new outfit. He wore a long dark brown coat, I recognized it from the day he found me in the forest but had never seen him wear it again. The sleeve had a worn out patch of the lmanberg flag sewn on it. He also wore a worn out pale yellow sweater underneath the coat. I also noticed Tommy's outfit had changed from the old L'Manberg uniform he wore with pride. Instead he wore his usual white and red shirt but it was clearly in need of a good wash. He had his sword slung over his back and several potions hanging at his side.

"How have you guys been?"

"We've been doing well," Wilbur said, "techno built a massive potato farm," he motioned over to a small doorway that techno walked out of, no longer wearing his long robe and his sleeves had been rolled up.

"It is an amazing farm if I do say so myself," techno said with pride in his monotone voice.

I stifled a laugh at the large man's prideful remark.

"Oh!" Tommy shouted while seeming to search for something in his pockets, "I have something for you (Y/N)!"

He found the item he was looking for and held out his hand opening it revealing a small leather with a small faded and scratched charm hanging on it.

"How did you get that?" I asked in excitement, taking it from him.

"Dream gave it to me when we were bargaining for our independence," he said, smiling at my reaction.

I held the necklace, the band had been tied from where it was broken. Tears welled up in my eyes as I never thought I'd see this necklace again.

"Thank you so much Tommy!" I tackled him in a tight hug.

Tommy regained his footing before he fell and returned the hug. "It's no problem (Y/N)."

I released Tommy taking the small band of leather and tying it tightly around my wrist. "I'm afraid if I wear it as a necklace Shlatt might get mad, so this will have to do for now."

We sat together and talked, catching up. I told them what Shlatt had been doing and they told me how they managed to convince Techno to help them along with how they found the ravine.

"But Wilbur took away the safety rails so now it's so easy to fall!" Tommy complained, "do you understand the safety risks!"

I laughed as the young teen yelled about the safety risks of the walkways through the deep ravine.

"(Y/N) you probably need to be heading back before they get suspicious of you," Wilbur's soft voice broke through the yells and laughter.

"Ya," I sighed getting up, "well thank you for everything, and be safe."

"You be safe as well," Wilbur softly patted my head with a soft smile.

"I always am sir," I giggled before stepping away and climbing up the stairs.
