Dream had hardly left his room since George died.

He only left for food.

He hadn't talked since then.

The only sounds HD ever heard was Dreams sobs in the middle of the night. Or the crashing and banging of things being thrown and broken in Dreams room.

It's not that Dream blamed HD for George's death. No, he couldn't because HD didn't know that this was going to happen.

XD wasn't much better.

Though he never outright did something to show it, HD could tell he was also hurting.

And in a way so was HD. He blamed himself for George's death.
Even though George told him not to blame himself. How could he not?

It was very clearly his fault. I mean he was the reason George was created. He was the reason they read the book and found out the truth.
Therefore he was the reason George died.

It wasn't just that though. With George dead, HD now has the full extent of his powers. And to put it simply, it was tiring him out a lot.

He spent a lot of his time focusing on trying to keep it in control, making sure nothing that shouldn't happen, happened.
The rest of his time was spent blaming himself and comforting XD and Dream.

On top of that he also had to worry about being sent back to the god realm, so he can resume his duties as Prince soon to be King. This was something that he was definitely not exited about.

Most people would be but to HD it was straining. Very. Very straining.
So to put it lightly, HD was stressed.

That's why he'd been thinking about this over and over again. Like a lot.
Ever since George died HD had been wondering about it.

Would George be able to handle his power? Possibly. It might take a while but with proper training he'd be able to.

How would Dream and XD react? They'd probably be upset for a while but they'd get over it. Dream would be more upset than XD, since he loves HD.
Plus they'd be happy because they'd have George again.

They prefer George, clearly. They wouldn't react this way if HD died. So that's why he decided to do this.

HD knocked on Dream's door and opened it, entering.

"Hey Dream." He said, his voice was quite.

"Leave HD. I'm not in the mood." Dream spat out, angrily.

HD sighed.

"I know. I just wanted to let you know that I love you. You mean a lot to me and the time we spent together means a lot as well. I enjoyed every moment I had with you, even when you were angry with me for not being George. I love you so much..... Goodbye"

With that HD left, leaving Dream confused. Which didn't last long because he went straight back to being upset about George.

HD walled over to XD's room. He knocked on the door and once again entered XDvs room whether he wanted him to or not.

"Hey XD" HD said.

"Hello HD. What brings you here?"

"I... Losing George must have been hard for you. I'm here to offer some comfort."

"It was. But I'm not really looking for your comfort" XD said, a slight bitterness in his voice.

"Ok. Well I just wanted you to know that even after everything I love you. I know you can't love me but I just thought you should know. I'll be here if you need me to comfort you." HD said.
"For as long as I'm in this room at least." He added as a whisper, so XD couldn't hear.

"Thank you. Goodbye HD."

With that HD left the room and headed out of the house.
He walked to a secluded place in a forest.

HD teleported himself to the God realm. He needed to do this.

"You know that you shouldn't do this." A booming voice called, when HD entered the room. His father.

"And you know that I have to do it." HD replied.

"Why? Why are you giving up your life for a mortals? Well I guess he won't be mortal once you do this."

"Because, he means more to more people than I do. And you know that the other gods don't care who takes the throne as long as they are strong enough."

There was silence for a moment. HD's father got off the throne where he sat and pulled HD into a hug.

"I understand, my son." He said. "George will not replace you, for you are my son. But I understand why you want to do this, so I will not stop you from doing it. I love you."

They both pulled away from the hug and had tears in their eyes.

HD stepped away and turned, facing the other way. He started to walk away but not before turning around one last time to smile at his father. Then he disappeared.

George appeared in his place, walking towards HD's father.

"What?" He said. "I thought..."

"Hello again George." HD's father said.

"What am I doing here? I'm supposed to be gone."

"HD gave himself up for you. You now have his immortality, his powers and maybe even some of his memories. In time you will control his power and eventually take over the throne."

"What? But I didn't..."

"It does not matt. HD will be gone forever no matter what you want. He is not dead nor alive. His soul has been erased, luckily not his life though." HD's father paused for a moment.
"Now you must go back to the human realm and see your two lovers again. Tell them of the news."

"Ok." George said, finally coming to terms with what has happened.

He knew that the first thing he would do is build a memorial for HD. After all, HD is the reason why George is alive and is still living.

So, with his newfound power and more, George returned to the human realm.
