Let me tell you a story. This is not a story about a hero slaying the dragon. this is not the story about the hero triumphing over the villain. This is not the story where the hero saves the princess.
No this is a story about a man, a man who loved too much but didnt get it back in the end. A man who cared about those he loved but got hated back in return. A man who would do anything to make sure that those he loved were alive and happy but go burned. This is the story of a man who became the monster everyone made him to be. This is the story of a man who was soo tired but got pushed soo much that he ....broke. the man they though they new was no more and all that was left was a broken shell of a once great man.
Would anyone notice
If tonight I disappeared?
They say that the strongest are always those who have lived a nice life but what if i told you that that was wrong? What if the strongest are those who have lived lives no one could think of? Gone through hardships that no one would believe? What if their the ones who are the most broken? The most fragile? The one to destroy themselves first then hurt those they care for ?
That's exactly what happened to dream. He put his love in soo many people but all he got was betrayal , hatred and despair. Those who promised to stay with him, love him , accept him for who he is all left him , abandoned him and left him to rot

except for those 3.
Would anyone chase me
And say the words that I need to hear?
They were always there for him, warm hugs, a shoulder to cry on or just a place to feel like home. They made him feel welcome when the others hurt him, they made him feel welcome when it felt like the world was killing him.
wasnt it thou? every destruction done to the land was given to him ...... didn't they know that? didn't they realize how much he was pain? no they didnt? why would they? they never cared for him, he was just someone they used and threw away once done he was their toy.
That I'm no burden
Not so worthless
The raven who was the father he never had, protecting him from the on slots of words with sharper words. Giving him a shoulder to cry on when he never had one before
were they even his friends to begin with?
yes we are.
are you sure about that?
........
I thought so
Bent so much that I just might break
All-consuming
The piglin who had a heart of gold and was more trustworthy then others were to him. The older brother who would help him when he fell. The one who taught him his ways. The one who ... was there for him and vice versa when everything was being too stuffy and uncomfortable.
He doesn't care about you, if he did then why are we still here?
He cares about me!
And where is here?
Pfffttt-!!!
How can you be so dumb?
..... im not dumb.....
Pffffttttt-!!!!
So confusing
The questions that keep me awake
And lastly his little boo, whos heart was soo kind and full ,the person he swore to protect. The one who he loved with all his heart .Nights of singing and just hanging out flashed thru his mind.
He doesn't love you. He doesn't even remember YOU!!
shtupshutupshutupshtupshutupshutupshtupshutupshutup-
yourwrongyourwrongyourwrongyourwrongyourwrongyourwrongyourwrong-
Why do u even care about him in the first places is beyond me.
Now just shut up and let me do my job
SHUT UP AND LET ME TAKE AND BREAK YOU TILL YOU ONLY DEPEND ON ME
.......
......... yes
Would anyone care, would anyone cry
If I finally stepped off of this ledge tonight?
In a cell laid 2 people who looked exactly the same the only difference was the color of their items - one was green and the other was red- the green one had bandages all over his body, the main one was round his head, covering the scratches and what remained on the appendages. The other one had the green man curled in his lap and was running his hand through his hair, soothing . A yawn left the green mans mouth as he snuggled close to the red eyed man, feeling content for the first time in a while
he ignored that this was wrong, he ignored the near silent voice in his head that told him to fight, that told him to run and never look back
he ignored the thoughts in his head about another man who loved him just as much but left him due to the accusations from their wedding
he didnt kiss George, George was like a brother to him, George had hurt him, had destroyed whatever little trust was left between them
.......
That may have started it all but this whole mess was born way before the place now know as the 'Dream smp' but that is another story to tell dear readers.
Would anything change, would you all be just fine?
Cause I need a reason to not throw the fight
It just might save my life
nightmare was good, nightmare cared about him , nightmare was his friend.
nightmare was good, nightmare cared about him , nightmare was his friend.
nightmare was good, nightmare cared about him , nightmare was his friend.
nightmare was good, nightmare cared about him , nightmare was his friend.
nightmare was good, nightmare cared about him , nightmare was his friend.
nightmare loved him
Phil loves him
techno loves him
Ranboo loves him
but its all forgotten in the fog
He is loved and that is all that matters.
Would anyone want me
If they knew what was inside my head?
The pitter patter of rain ran through L'manberg or what was left of it. People were scattered around the remains , getting rid of the remaining red that was scattered around of what was left of the egg. It had taken around 5 months to get rid of the egg and free bad, ant and skeppy form the mind control. The event had taken a toll on everyone and they had all taken a break from everything in the smp and just hang out in Snowchester.
Ignoring how their minds screamed for the friend they left behind, the one they abandoned, the one they left to rot, the one they forgot while they lived their happy lives
Everyone was having good time. Tommy and Tubbo were playing the the ocean, Puffy and Niki say on a beach towel enjoying each other company while watching the kids (their kid is not there . where is he. we miss him . )
Quackity could he found getting a tan while fundy and punz played volleyball with Sam as the referee.
Everything is perfect. It's not
The sudden sound of hooves ran through the area making them all turn heads to stare at Technoblade, Philza and Ranboo all riding towards them. The air stilled as the three men started at them before ranboo swept his eyes round the people there . His brows furring as he took them all in them.
"Where's Dream?"
The calm atmosphere turned sour at the mention of the tyrant
he was never a tyrant they made him one he just wanted peace and a family was that too hard to ask?
"He's gone"
...... what?
"Tubbo mate what do you mean by that?"
"We put him in the prison. It was for the good of everyone."

Would anyone see me
For the person that I really am?
Techno could only stare in shock at the word that came out from tubbo's mouth . . . . 5 months. 5 months his best friend and partner in crime was locked in the prison was locked in his mind.
Oh gods what type of best friend was he ? While he was living a nice life in the snow his best frie- no his brother was locked up in the cell. What kind of person is he ???
He didn't hear Phil's calming voice or the shouting of the ex - L’manbergians and he was suddenly on Carl and he riding as fast as he could to the prison.
Im coming dre- clay just you wait.
wait for me brother

Ranboo was in shock, no no no no no no NONONONNONO-
why did they do that.
Why did they put one of the few people he cared about in a cell? Made out of obsidian? What the fuck?!
Unnoticed growls left him as his thoughts spilled down and down till he thought that it was his fault his brother was in the prison, it was his fault that things became fucked, everyThing wAs his fAulT! ALL HIS FAULT!! HISFAULTHISHISFAULTHISHISFAULTHISHISFAULTHISHISFAULTHIS-
"Ranboo?"
He turned and nearly fell of to see techno opposite him on Carl as they rode further into the smp.
"I sleep walked, sleep moved, sleep whatever again didn't I?" he drawled
A huff left techno before he was going faster on Carl, overtaking Ranboo as they quickly made their way to the prison, wanting to get the one who was there for them when others left them, when they were all alone , he was there for them so they now need to be there for him

Phil watched as his two boys ran off to go save the third. Love seeped through his body but it turned to anger as he stared back at those who put his son there. A sudden sound alerted him and he turned to stare at Sam who was grapping one of the horses on the side.
"Where do u think your going Sam?"
" What do you think im going to do Phil? Im going to stop them. "
And suddenly sam was on the ground with a glowing netherite sword at his neck, his sharp blue eyes bore into Sam and Sam was scared. This was the man who raised Technoblade, this was the man know as the Angel Of Death. This was the the man who had survived a long time in hardcore by himself . This was a man to fear.
"YOU WILL NOT DO SUCH THING IF U WANT TO LIVE SAM."
Sam nods his head and the atmosphere instantly changed back to the calm it was before .
"Now were all going to sit here and wait for their return or their will be consequences. Got it?
This was a man to never cross
This was a man who who wouldnt hesitate to kill them if those he cared about were hurt
and that was on thin ice.
Tommy and Tubbo had lost that when they betrayed and tried to kill their older brother.
They had lost it when they turned their back on their family .
I won't lie
So hard to hide
I've never felt worthy of love
Puffy ignored the unwanted thought in her head as she watched form the position on Niki's shoulder as Tommy and Tubbo played in the water like the kids they are suppose to be. Cl- Dream had messed up big time and they were just children who got pushed to do the things they did. Dream wansnt, he was an adult who could take care of himself rather then the kids who couldnt.
her duckling is also a kid still is one
He hurt all of them . He never cared about them and if he did, then why did he push them away? Why did he break heir bonds? why why why Why W hy wHy wHY w h y w h y w h y w h y WHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHY-!!!!
He just wanted a family was that too much to ask?
No one listened to him
No one cared for him
So why should he care about them in return
Puffy took in a deep breath ignoring the way Niki looked at her with knowing eyes. Sh- They both missed their duckling but he hurt everyone on the server he caused a lot of pain to eveyone here .
He needs to learn hat his actions has consequences.
they never heard his screams
THEY NEVER HEARD HIS CRIES FOR HELP
THEY WERE BLIND TO WHAT HE WAS GOING THROUGH

What she didn't know was that her ducking was no more by the time Techno and Ranboo reach the prison.
HER DUCKING WAS GONE!
They hadn't realized that on that day they had lost the one thing that was dear to nearly everyone and a monster was born form those ashes. The person they knew was truly gone and not coming back no matter how much they begged and cried.
Dream was gone and it was all their fault.
