Wilbur's memories were distorted, he thinks.
He remembers impressing someone with his musical talent, that same someone offering him 'godlike power'.
He remembers being a new god, figuring out his powers. At some point he moved to an area with more gods, hoping to learn from them. He remembers a small group of powerful gods, being intimidated by them, but trying to establish good relations.
He remembers a blond human, probably in his teens, trying to tag along with him.
He remembers watching one of the powerful gods be erased from existance, learning that power could be split. The power from that god had immediately rushed to him, making him more powerful.
He remembers being unofficially included in that group, the blond human dragging himself with them without fail.
He remembers watching the human attempt to prove himself to the pink-haired god, who turned out to be the god of combat.
He remembers the human somehow impress that god, being given a small fraction of that power.
He doesn't remember why the teen ended up unconscious in the combat god's arms, but he knows that it was his fault.
He remembers the blond staring at the sky with unseeing eyes.
He remembers giving up at least 500 years to fix his mistake.
He faintly remembers being woken up in the middle of it, to watch Tommy come back to life. After that he went back to sleep.
He remembers finally waking up completely, the connection between him and the teen leeching his power more slowly than before.
He remembers watching the teen wake up, unable to remember becoming a god.
He remembers the teen looking up at him like he was the only thing left in the world. He had asked the blond what he wanted to do.
He remembers searching for the teen's old friend, and with the help of Phil, (who made the friend a god while they were asleep) they found him.
He remembers moving into the area with Tommy, joining Tubbo and two other gods named Fundy and Eret.
Wilbur cherished the memories he had, even if he was missing many of them.
He remembers the regret in Eret's when he betrayed them. He remembers the same regret reflected in Fundy's.
He remembers Fundy avoiding him, trying to act normal.
He remembers Fundy stopping Tubbo from running after them when they were banished from L'manberg.
He blinked, shaking his head.
He remembers the hope in Tommy's eyes when Technoblade arrived. He remembers the combat god hiding his joy from seeing his two allies again.
Everything will turn out fine.
