This chapter is mostly a snippet into HD and XD's past together. It takes place before they knew about George and Dream, during there time in the God realm.
HD looked around for the missing God.
"XD, where are you?" He shouted to the empty throne room.
His shouts echoed, though not harshly. It was all everyone ever said about HD. How beautiful and soft his voice was. How he could sing so high it could shatter diamonds.
He was known for being feminine. For his beauty. For his grace.
"Boo! Haha. I scared you." XD shouted after popping out from behind one of the thrones.
XD was the opposite. He was masculine.
Unlikly friends, is what people would think. But they were wrong. The two were close.
Unlike what everyone thought, HD wasn't feminine. He only acted that way to please people. He was a stronger fighter that XD. Hell, he was stronger than most Gods.
That's why he will be the next one to rule the throne.
"There you are." HD said in a worried voice.
Like an overbearing mother, he rushed over to XD. He made sure he wasn't injured and then he gave XD a hug.
"Jeez HD, your like a mother." XD said, annoyed.
"Well sorry for caring about you."
"We're Gods, we can't die."
"No, but we can still get badly hurt. And I'd hate for you to spend another night in the infirmary because of some dumb stunt you pulled."
"Sorry, I'll be careful next time."
"There won't be a next time." HD said in a stern, yet soft voice.
A Few Years Later
HD and XD were sat on a bench. It was a beautiful day. Almost as beautiful as HD.
"I'm in love." XD said.
"Oh, with who?" HD inquired.
'With you. God HD, I'm so in love with you.' XD thought to himself.
"Nevermind it doesn't matter." XD said.
'You won't love me back, so my feelings for you don't matter." He thought.
"Fine." HD said, pouting.
"They don't love me back anyway."
"Oh. That's sad. What are you going to do?"
"The ritual."
HD stood up from the bench abruptly. Shock covered his face.
"If you do that. Then you won't ever be able to love them again. What if they do love you back. What if they might love you in the future."
"I doubt it, I've loved them for so long and they've shown no interest. And nothing you say will convince me to not do it."
With that one final sentence XD left.
Even More Years Later
"Don't those two look like us. Dream and George." XD said.
"Hmm. So they do. Less elegant though. I mean just look at that brute nature. They're killing eachother."
"They're not killing eachother. They're killing Wilbur and the rest of L'manburg."
"Same thing. Honestly you would never see a God do that. We have to much class."
XDlaughed.
"You mean you do." He said as a snarky comment.
HD scoffed and rolled his eyes.
"Maybe we should start going by our full names, since they are the same as Dream and George." HD said.
"Ok. DreamXD."
Even More Years Later
"HD just listen to me! I need you to keep an eye on Dream! They've told me to do it but I need to keep an eye on George in his dream world." XD screamed.
"Jesus stop shouting, for fucks sake. Fine. But what's in it for me?"
"I know your secret."
HD looked panicky. What secret did XD know?
"W-what secret?" HD said, his voice shakey.
"The books. I know that you were the one who wrote them."
HD rushed over to XD and put his hands on XD's mouth.
"Blackmail, really? We're friends. We've been friends since we were little. If they find out they'll kill me."
HD shuddered at the thought. He removed his hands for XD's mouth and dropped to his knees.
"Fine. Ok. I'll, I'll do it. I'll look over Dream." HD said between sobs.
"Good." XD said in a monotone voice. He turned around and walked away.
'If I didn't love you so much XD. You'd be dead. You forget that I have the power to kill you."
HD thought.
Because of this ability to kill Gods, HD was chosen to take over the throne. However, he is not the only one with this ability, therefore they wouldn't bat an eye before killing him.
Why would they kill him?
Because he created two books. Two books that give anyone the ability to revive or kill people.
Then HD had a sudden realization. He lost the books a while ago.
That's how XD knew, he found them.
That's what Dream was talking about. Dream had the revive book.
XD disposed of them into the mortal world. Into the DreamSMP.
They had the books.
Present Time
GeorgeHD arrived at the prison to deliver the news to Dream that he told George what Dream wanted him to know.
"Dream. I'm back."
"Welcome back. Did you tell him? Did you tell George what I wanted him to know?" Dream responded with, in an overly happy voice.
"Yes."
"Oh thank you so much. You really aren't as bad as I thought you were." Dream said gratefully.
"No, I'm not. And theres also something else."
"What? What else?" Dream said, confused yet excited.
"I'm getting you put of this prison. So you can see George."
"What? But hes in a coma. I can't see him even if I got out." Dream said confused.
"That's why I need you."
"What do you mean?"
"I need you to help me wake up George. There's thos old ritual that can wake up anyone, even the dead.
I need you there because you love George, so that will help. And also you've memorized the revive book and we'll need its help to do this ritual.
That's actually quite helpful."
"Wake up George? Really?" Dream said in disbelief.
"Yes. Now come on let's get you out of this prison and to George."
