Roles, duties and fun facts!

XD/Dream XD-God/Lord—one of the may Gods of the Aether, they rule over their plane, and Essempi

Insomnium/Dream—High angel— he takes orders straight from Lord XD and basically rules over the XD Plane with Them—Fun Fact! Insomnium (his name) is Latin! It means 'dream, bad dream, wakefulness, vision' Tbh I just needed a better name then Dream and thought Latin would be cool

Theseus/Tommy—High Angel—Follow the orders of Insomnium and look nice—Fun Fact! Theseus has grey specs in his eyes, showing that he has not imprinted (ex. Dreams eyes have golden specs, bc he imprinted on captain Puffy)

Lord Philza/Phil—Lord—He rules over the entire Nether and loans off small territories to lesser Demons who he rules over —Fun Fact! Phil is a Fallen Angel so he can make bird noises

Prince Technoblade—High Demon—He is a Knight sworn to The Fallen Angels (AKA his family) so he protects everyone and does his duties as a Prince—Fun Fact! Technoblade is a Wrath Demon so he is easily angered but he is very territorial and Protective

Price William/Wilbur—High Demon— He is a Bard so he introduces all of the royal demons at events also y'know he's a Prince so Royal duties as well—Fun Fact! William does actually does go by Wilbur, William is just his official title

Princex Ranboo—High Demon— he is the youngest Prince of The Fallen Angels so he's still in school learning his Demon skillzzzz— Fun Fact! (:

Prince Tubbo—Lesser Prince— he just kinda vibes, no thoughts just 𝗺𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥'𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐡𝐮𝗺𝐚𝐧'𝐬 𝐟𝗼𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐬𝗼𝐮𝐥 (:—Fun Fact! his dad is Schlatt, which make Insomnium his cousin Lol (in my Au, Puffy and Schlatt were siblings when they were alive, they both died in a car crash)

And that's it so far!

[ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫, 𝐗𝐃 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞, 𝐇𝗼𝐥𝐲 𝐇𝗼𝐮𝐫'𝐬{𝚛𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚋𝚎𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚞𝚗 𝚛𝚒𝚜𝚎𝚜} ]

"You summoned me Sire?" A lesser Angel ask
"Indeed, go fetch me my brother, we have very important matters to attend to, make sure he's dressed nicely" the High Angel commanded sternly
"Of course Sire"
This was the best [ƎSᴚOM] Time for the XD plane, High Angel Insomnium and his brother Theseus were great rulers.  High Angel Insomnium works directly under Lord XD and High Angel Theseus works under his brother
The Lesser Angel knock's on High Angel Theseus's door
The door gently opens, revealing a young blonde {𝚑𝚎'𝚜 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝟷𝟸 𝚕𝚘𝚕} his kimono pure white with a bow the color of their lord-a yellowy-green-, his two halos crossed each other making an X, his Wings ruffled behind him slightly, his eyes an extremely light blue with flecks of grey, his golden colored hair tied back into a tight bun.
"Hello?" He says softly
"Your brother requested your presence" the lesser Angel says blankly
"How formal?"
"Very"
"Can you help me please?" The High Angels quiet words echo across the nearly empty room
"Of course" The Lesser Angel nods while striding into young Angels closet, stepping out a moment later with a more formal Kimono helping the smaller into it, the High angel thanked him, letting the Lesser do his hair and makeup before running off to his brother with more hurried thanks

He ran out to the tree of peace kneeling in front of his brother
"You summoned me Sire?" Theseus says timidly
"Indeed, go to the In-Between Gates and wait, we have guest's of the Nether coming" Insomnium orders
"Sire -if I may- aren't The unholy not allowed?"
"These are different circumstances, do not question my judgement" Insomnium snapped
"Of course Sire, apologies for asking"
"Accepted, now go"
Theseus ran toward's the In-Between Gates
The guard today stop's him with his staff
"My liege, a pleasure, why are you at the gates?" The green haired guard bowed
"My Brother sent me to greet guests!"
"Of course, go ahead"
"Thank you!"
"No need to thank me my liege" the guards pale skin flushed slightly pink
Theseus opens the door of the In-Between Gate's and steps over the threshold, he sees another door, this one pure black instead of the pure white one he had just stepped out of, 'odd' he thought.
he feels cold, which was not a unfamiliar feeling for him, he always felt cold.
Theseus stood there, even when his legs began to shake, even when he began to feel dizzy, he stood, he 𝐎𝐁𝐄𝐘𝐄𝐃
Suddenly there were no less than six knocks on the other door, he answered back with Seven knocks on his white door, he knew the customs of the In-Between Gates, he knew of the consequences if he didn't follow them
The black doors open gently, Theseus bowed his head and nothing else
He is not allowed to look at the creature's of below yet, he knows this, Insomnium would punish if he did it too early,
The first one to step out of the other door had a yellow and brown striped tail with a black stinger tip, similar to the 'bee's' that Theseus had seen when he and Insomnium visited the BD Plane,
the next to step out had a tail similar to a 'cat' of the ND Plane, but it was split into halves, one black, one white, Theseus doesn't recall any 'Cats' being half black half white
The third to step out had a pale yellow tail with a white tip
The fourth (Theseus thought that it was too many of the unholy, but if this is who his brother sent then he will say nothing) had a black tale with a sharp tip that looked like it was dripping blood
The last Unholy to step out had not only an extremely long dark green tail, but High Angel wing's similar to Theseus's but pitch black instead of white.
The one with blackened wings stepped forward to Theseus and grabbed his chin, gently pulling it upward, Theseus did not object, he knew this was common courtesy
Theseus began speaking first
"Hello, my name is High Angel Theseus, my Brother hath Summoned you and I am here to escort you to him, once we leave the In-Between Gates into the XD Plane you will be searched and all weapons will be confiscated, please state each of your names and roles" Theseus's voice rings out clearly
"Hello Theseus, my name is Lord Philza, this is my son Prince Technoblade, he is also my knight, my other son Prince William, also our bard, and my youngest child Prime Ranboo and his friend Prince Tubbo"
Lord Philza's voice had a crisp accent that calmed some of Theseus's nerves, each of the unholy waved as their name was announced
{𝚕𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚗 𝚒 𝚑𝚊𝚍 𝚝𝚘 𝚏𝚒𝚗𝚍 𝚊 𝚁𝚎𝚍𝚍𝚒𝚝 𝚙𝚘𝚜𝚝 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚊 '𝙿𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚌𝚎 ' 𝚃𝚒𝚝𝚕𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚁𝚊𝚗𝚋𝚘𝚘, 𝚜𝚘 𝚒 𝚖𝚎𝚊𝚗 𝙿𝚛𝚒𝚖𝚎'𝚜 𝚝h𝚎 𝚋𝚎𝚜𝚝 𝚒 𝚐𝚘𝚝 𝚕𝚘𝚕/𝚙𝚘𝚜}
"Follow me please" Theseus gently knocks on the white door behind him eight times
The door opened, it was the same green haired guard from before, he steps out of the way and gestures for everyone to go in
Soft Thank you's ring out as they all pass him
"Welcome to the Aether, you are currently in the XD Plane, please stand still as we get rid of your weapon's" the guard says clearly bored, the one with the spiked tail scoffed
"So you lot can still have your weapons and point it at us, but WE can't?" The Unholy's voice sounds deep and blank, it rattles Theseus's core
"Indeed" Theseus says whilst staring up at the taller's large horn I awe, they had a crown stretched across them
"My liege, do not interact with these scum" the guard says harshly
"𝘸𝘩𝘺, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘴 𝘢 𝘣𝘪𝘵 𝘳𝘶𝘥𝘦, 𝘩𝘮𝘮?" Theseus heard one of the youngest Unholy whisper to the other who snickered
"Are you done yet?" The deep voice from earlier asked impatiently
"If I was done, I wouldn't be on the ground checking your shoes" The guard shoots back
"Fair enough"
Theseus wonders what they meant until he looked at the table weapons would end up on, it had a huge pile of weapons
"You are all approved, before you go please allow me to speak to my liege"
Theseus turns and motions for Unholy to stop moving
"Yes?" Theseus asked
"My liege, if I may, you must be careful, the 𝐃𝐞𝗺𝗼𝐧'𝐬 are tricksters" the guard warned sternly
"Of course, thank you!"
The guard didn't see Theseus grab a small blade and tucking it up his sleeve
Theseus turns and walks toward the six Demons, he gently walks towards the deep voiced Unholy
He gently without a single word tucks the small sword into the Unholy's sleeve, the Unholy looks shocked
"If you'll follow me, I'll lead you to Insomnium" Theseus smiled
"Much gratitude" Philza says gratefully
Theseus smiles and gestures for them to follow him, light chatter go on behind Theseus
They stop right behind the Tree Of Peace.
"Why did you stop?"
"We like to make an entrance, go ahead, we'll go in a minute"
"Okay!"
Theseus runs ahead to his Brother, kneeling down in front of him
"You may arise. Where are the guests?"
"They'll be here in a moment Sire"
Insomnium was about to screech but he was cut off by the light song of a guitar, oh the Brown haired Unholy was back
"Please welcome the Lord Of The Nether, High Demon Philza" his voice was crisp and calm, it sounded like wind-chimes swaying in the wind, or the Holy voice of the chorus, or the voice of Lord XD
Lord Philza walks out, an air of elegance surrounded him
"Hello Insomnium" Philza greets blankly
"Lord Philza" Insomnium bowed, yanking Theseus down as well
"Please welcome the fearless protector of our Lord, High Demon Technoblade" The brunette spoke
The pink haired Unholy walks out, the air drops
"Insomnium" Technoblade greets
"Good day Technoblade"
"The youngest royal of the family Princex Ranboo, oh yeah and his Friend Prince Tubbo"
The two Unholy's that looked around the same age as Theseus came out laughing
"Hem hem" Philza says
"Oh right, Umm hello in-som-nee-um" Tubbo sounded out
"Hello Prince Tubbo"
"Good evening Lord Insomnium" Ranboo bowed
"Good day Princex Ranboo"
"And this is my Son Prince William" Philza says
"'Evenin"
"Hello Prince William"
"So Insomnium, why have you summoned us?" Lord Philza said cutting to the chase
"I need to make a deal" Insomnium says quickly
Theseus gasps gaining a elbow to the ribs
"My Brother, High Angel Theseus" Insomnium introduced quickly
"We've met" Technoblade deadpanned
"How about we get some drinks, huh? What do you all like?" Insomnium offers
"Thank you, a water for me" Lord Philza asks
"Glass of blood" Technoblade says
"Water for the rest of us as well" Prince William states
"Of course, Theseus go get us drinks" insomnium orders
"Of course Sire" Theseus walks away to the 'Kitchen'
He grabs six glasses of water then climbs up onto the counter, he opens up the cabinet door, grabbing the glass of Blood that his brother kept for Punz
He puts all the glasses gently onto a tray and begins to quickly walk back to The Tree Of Peace
He bows in front of the men, holding up the tray for them to take
"Thank you Theseus" Prince William says
"Thank's" Prince Tubbo says whilst chugging the water
"Thank you" Prime Ranboo says while making sure their friend isn't choking
"You actually had this?" Prince Technoblade jokes
"Indeed, Sire's friend enjoys the taste" Theseus says blankly
"Now back to business, I would like to finish this before dinner" Lord Philza says impatiently
"Of course, of course, it seems like you have taken some Angels from here" Insomnium says
"Have we? I Don't believe we did" Lord Philza says jokingly
"YES-er-yes you did"
"Ah, maybe we did, but why does that matter?"
"I would like to make a deal to get them back"
"You a deal? Sure, if you can offer me something good enough back"
"I want two of my friends back"
"Which ones Insomnium? Each Demon is of a different ranking, you know this"
"George Lore and Punz Lien"
"Ahh, Them, that's a heavy price"
"Wha-WHY?!"
"One of my Lesser Kings has taken a liking to them, who was it Tech?"
"King Badboyhalo, and Prince Sapnap" Technoblade says nonchalantly
"Thanks Tech, but how about this? I give you your TWO friends and you give ONE of your Angels? Hmm?"
"YES! YES! YES!" Insomnium say's excitedly
"Perfect, just 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥" The Unholy holds his hand out, Blue flames intertwining with green ones surrounded his held our hand
Insomnium quickly grabs his hand and shakes it

Theseus feels weird, he-he need's to get to someone, he doesn't know who, who is he? Where is he? Then a small noise takes his full attention, THAT is where he needs to get, he walks forward toward the noises,
he-he's so cold, the noise will make him warm, the noise is nice, something stops him from moving, he whines loudly, then hisses at the stopper
"𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘦-𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘺-𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘯𝘦-𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦-𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦" the voice coos
"W-what did you do to him?" The stopper says quietly
"You said you would give me an Angel, you never said HE was off limits, now let him go, you don't want to break our deal Hmm?"
The Stopper looks terrified, but picks up his arm anyway.
Theseus stumbles forward into the 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐌 arms of the voice
"Hello baby, you're tired huh?"
Theseus nods slowly, he was tired, and the 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐌 chest of the voice is so-so nice, it made him feel like goop
"Go to sleep love" the voice says lovingly
And Theseus does

Chapter Text

Theseus wakes up feeling sluggish, he's so comfortable, so warm, does he need to get up? 

he was so warm, and so, so tired

Oh, there is a hand in his hair, it felt nice, he pushed his face into the hand, pushing all the silly thoughts out of his head, all he needs is the hand. He lets out a small purr causing the hand to chuckle and stop petting him

"Are you awake Theseus?" The hand questions lightly

Theseus simply whines, he wants the hand to keep on petting him!

"Oh, you want me to keep petting you Love?" The hand coos

Theseus whines again, pushing his face further into the hand until the hand relents and pet him again. Theseus Purrs happily. He opens his eyes to see the hand, his pupils had dilated so large that there was only a thin ring of blue left 

"There you are Sunshine" the hand greeted. They looked like him. Blue eyes mirroring his own, though the whites were black. Theseus could ignore that, of course. This HAD to be FLOCK, he hesitantly chirps

'Hello-Hello-Flock?'

It was immediately responded with a:

'Hello-Hello-Fledgling-Baby-Flock!'

Theseus happily snuggled into FLOCK, letting out chirps and trills. FLOCK'S talons softly scratch at his head, Theseus purrs increase in volume

"Aww, aren't you happy Sunshine" FLOCK praised

Theseus curled up in FLOCK'S hold. Closing his eye's contently. 

"Go to sleep My Fledgling. I will still be here when you wake" FLOCK told Theseus softly. Theseus nods off with chirps and promises of Love from FLOCK

❀♡❀

Theseus was more awake then the time before. He realized that he was laying on someone (a small part of his mind told him that this was 'flock' that couldn't be true. ⟟⋏⌇⍜⋔⋏⟟⎍⋔ ⊑⏃⎅ ⏚⟒⏃⏁ ⏁⊑⟒ ⟟⋏⌇⏁⟟⋏☊⏁⌇ ⍜⎍⏁ ⍜⎎ ⊑⟟⋔ ⏃⌰⍀⟒⏃⎅⊬) he screams.

"Woah, woah. Settle down!" Lord Philza ordered. Theseus couldn't help but stop in his tracks.

"Thank you Mate. Let me explain your situation, okay?" Lord Philza awaited Theseus's answer patiently. Theseus slowly nods his head

"Insomnium has traded you for his angels, so now you"-he points a blackened talon at Theseus's chest-"belong to me" he points his talon at his own chest.

Theseus begins to cry (⟟⋏⌇⍜⋔⋏⟟⎍⋔ ⏁⍜⌰⎅ ⊑⟟⋔ ⏁⊑⏃⏁ ☊⍀⊬⟟⋏☌ ⍙⏃⌇ ⎍⋏⏚⟒☊⍜⋔⟟⋏☌ ⍜⎎ ⏃ ⊑⟟☌⊑ ⏃⋏☌⟒⌰, ⊑⟒ ⌇⊑⍜⎍⌰⎅ ⏚⟒ ☌⟒⏁⏁⟟⋏☌ ⌿⎍⋏⟟⌇⊑⟒⎅.)

Lord Philza croons a word of comfort. Grabbing onto Theseus and holding him tightly

Theseus takes in his surroundings, it was warm, VERY warm, it's definitely a new feeling, The Aether is extremely cold, after all. He was wearing a collar? He should ask about that. And he was at some sort of nest? (⌿⏃⍀⏁ ⍜⎎ ⊑⟟⌇ ⋔⟟⋏⎅ ⌇☊⍀⟒⏃⋔⟒⎅ ⏃⏁ ⊑⟟⋔ ⏁⍜ ⏚⟒ ⊑⏃⌿⌿⊬, ⊑⟒ ⍙⏃⌇ ⟟⋏ ⏁⊑⟒ ⋏⟒⌇⏁ ⍙⟟⏁⊑ ⎎⌰⍜☊☍, ⏃⎎⏁⟒⍀ ⏃⌰⌰)

"Um, Lord Philza, why am I wearing a collar?" Theseus asked hesitantly 

"Oh, in The Nether Lower Demons drool at the thought of having a pet Angel, they buy and sell them. And in This 'black market' XD Angels are EXTREMELY valuable, as they're the hardest to trick, the collar is to show that you belong to ME, and no one messes with what's MINE. So overall it's for your own protection" Lord Philza said with a strange gleam in his eye

"Oh-okay" 

"I'm gonna be one hundred percent honest with you Chicklet. You're turning into a Fallen Angel like me" Lord Philza admitted, sure enough when Theseus turned to look at his wings, his downy feathers were turning as black as Lord Philza's. Theseus gasped.

"Are you hungry, little one? We have a long journey ahead of us" Lord Philza offered

"Where are we going?" Theseus asked

"To the castle." Lord Philza said simply

Theseus nodded. Lord Philza gently grasped the chain connecting the collar.

"Sorry for this, if you're uncomfortable, you may hold my hand instead" Theseus grasped the unholy's hand.

"Thank you"

"For what My Sunshine?"

"For being so nice"

"Do they not usually treat you nicely, up in The Aether?" Theseus simply gulped. Lord Philza growled, Theseus whimpered, apologize waiting to spill from his mouth. Lord Philza crooned

"Sorry Mate, not angry at you" Theseus blinked in confusion, someone apologizing to......him? How crazy. Lord Philza nudges him forward, Theseus obliges and walked behind Lord Philza.

"We're gonna pick you up some food, okay?" Theseus slightly nods his head. Lord Philza leads him through The Nether (The place actually wasn't as scary as he had thought) and then they stop abruptly. Lord Philza begins to hop onto a stone atop a lava lake. Theseus—reluctantly— follows. The heat rises from the lake, it felt like he was melting. Suddenly Lord Philza grabbed his wrists, pulling him onto the largest island. 

"Careful mate, lava burns" Lord Philza warns. Theseus nodded. 

"Apologies Lord Philza" Theseus bowed. Lord Philza clicked and flicked his hand dismissively. 

"No problem mate. Follow me, there's a good soup place around here" Theseus nods "and mate, I'm gonna have to hold the lead, apologies" Lord Philza grabs back onto the chain, gently tugging Theseus forward. 

"All you have to do is stand tall, keep your expression blank and listen to me, okay?" Lord Philza looked at Theseus expectantly, Theseus nodded quickly.

Lord Philza steps forward and Theseus walked behind him, just as he had asked. 

The 'soup' place was large, Lord Philza entered with Theseus behind him. There were so many unholy inside the restaurant, all staring at the pair. Theseus was scared, obviously, but he held his head high, just as Lord Philza had ordered. He went up to the front desk, the unholy at the counter bowed deeply.

"Get us a private room, immediately" Lord Philza's voice was empty and cold, he snapped his talons, the unholy looked at Lord Philza's unamused expression, and then at Theseus. The unholy nods and rushes forward. Lord Philza following close behind. They set up a room with a view of the terrain, there was a simple table with one chair. Lord Philza sneered 

"Get another chair" he growled

"Is a guest coming for you Sire?" The unholy inquired.

"No" 

"Ah"  the unholy left, returning a moment later with another chair and two small, little book things. 

"Just ring the bell when you need me Sire" Lord Philza nods, perusing the menu, eyes occasionally flicking up to Theseus's stiff form. 

"You can sit down Mate" Lord Philza says casually, Theseus nods and quickly shuffled into the seat.

Lord Philza rings the bell, the unholy returns, eyeing Theseus as if he had killed his family. 

"What can I get for you Sire?" The unholy asks

"Just two bowls of broth"

"Of course sire" the unholy bones once more and walks out, returning with 2 bowls of liquid and spoons, placing them both in front of Lord Philza, who sneers and gestures for the unholy to place one in front of Theseus, they glare at Theseus, but puts down the bowl. Exiting the room once more. Lord Philza quietly picks up the spoon and fills it with the liquid, placing the spoon in his mouth, Theseus watched in mild astonishment. 

'Liquid food?' He thought 'what a crazy idea!' He would laugh, If he wasn't scared of the fallen Angel in front of him (⏃⌰⏁⊑⍜⎍☌⊑ ⏃ ⌿⏃⍀⏁ ⍜⎎ ⊑⟟⌇ ⏚⍀⏃⟟⋏ ⏁⟒⌰⌰⌇ ⊑⟟⋔ ⏁⊑⏃⏁ ⊑⟒ ⍙⟟⌰⌰ ⋏⟒⎐⟒⍀ ⊑⎍⍀⏁ ⊑⟟⋔, ⍙⊑⊬ ⍙⍜⎍⌰⎅ ⟟⏁ ⌇⏃⊬ ⏁⊑⏃⏁?) 

Lord Philza looks at the tense boy in front of him.

"Eat, you'll need it" Lord Philza says softly

"Ah, I will be fine Lord Philza. I do not need to eat" Theseus politely declined, Lord Philza frowns.

"I said to EAT" Lord Philza orders, a chill goes down Theseus' spine and before he could process what Lord Philza had said he finds himself picking up the spoon, filling it up and putting it into his mouth, the taste was nothing he could explain. It was warm, but not too hot, it kinda tasted like the golden apples that he would sneak a piece of when he was young. He quickly fills the spoon once more and plops it back in his mouth, he repeats the action, again and again until his stomach was full and his bowl was empty. He sighs contently, wings fluttering behind him happily. Lord Philza chuckles, Theseus blushes, rubbing his neck.

"Yeah, it is pretty good Mate" Lord Philza's liquid had already been finished, he gestured for Theseus to get up and follow. Exiting the restaurant—Theseus did not question why Lord Philza didn't pay, unholys were not known for being polite—walking silently through The Nether, Philza began to speak.

"How long have you known Insomnium?" Lord Philza asked

"Lord Insomnium is my brother" Theseus states simply. Lord Philza stops walking.

"That's bullshit, I know Puffy, she never had four children. Only three Foolish, Dream, And Drista" Theseus gasps at the use of Lord Insomnium's true name.

"L-Lord Philza, if I may, Insomnium does not enjoy the use of his true name" Theseus stutters, trembling with the weight of the words

"Yes, he separates himself from the person he used to be and the person he is now, the one XD wants him to be. I, myself will always think of XD as a Stupid, Selfish, quote unquote 'God.' never a kind word out of him, took harmless angels and made them take over his realm so he wouldn't have to do it himself, that bastard" Theseus nearly faints, why would Lord Philza say these-these...LIES! He knew that Unholy were deceitful but to say these things about XD? They must be insane!

"L-Lord Phil-Philza XD is a good God, h-he could-couldn't be selfish! He chose Lord Insomnium to rule his land because Lord Insomnium is capable and strong! Not because he just didn't want to rule"

"Mm, I am sure that's what XD or Insomnium has told you, but that is not what I am asking, how did you meet Dream" Lord Philza continues his stride, Theseus shakily walks behind him. 

"I-I was a newly born Angel, only a year old, I had not seen anything, Lord Insomnium found me, gave me a home, taught me to be a prince and here we are" Theseus states, Philza nods.

"That's a lie mate, you were there when Dream got appointed, what's the true story?" Lord Philza orders, Theseus' head buzzed That Must've Been The True Story, Lord Insomnium Had Told Him That, Lord Insomnium Wouldn't Lie, Right? What Is That Must’ve Been The True Story, Lord Insomnium Had Told Him That, Lord Insomnium Wouldn’t Lie, Right? What Is Happening?

Theseus feels faint, he sways slightly on his feet, falling onto the hot floor. Lord Philza croons and picks him up, holding him like a baby close to chest. Usually Theseus would push away from these things, but he couldn't find the energy, he found it quite comfortable, actually. He shuts his eyes while Lord Philza gently rocks him, he probably shouldn't fall asleep in the arms of the most powerful unholy, but he'll hatch his escape plan later. 

He'll kick his-

He'll kick his-

Kick his-

Phil coos at the sleeping baby in his arms.

"What happened to you chicklet?" He asked, sighing softly.

❀♡❀

Theseus wakes up with his wings aching, opening his eyes he sees the blues of Lord Philza looking back at him. He screeches, pushing away from the man, falling onto the scolding earth, jumping back up with a yelp. Lord Philza laughing hard, but quickly composing himself

"I need to grab onto the lead again. We're nearing the palace" Theseus blushes but places the chain into Lord Philza's hand. Fixing his posture and expression. Lord Philza walks through the many crowds, many stopping to stare at him and Theseus, Lord Philza, on the other hand, does not stop. Theseus looks up and nearly gasps, Lord Philza wasn't exaggerating when he said a palace, that place in HUGE! Like bigger than XD's palace! 2 Unholys guard the door, Bowing to Lord Philza. 

"Hello My Lord, did you have a good trip?" One of the guards asked, Lord Philza hums, walking through the gate. A servant approached the pair, beginning to speak: "may i take your pet Sire?" Gesturing to the leash. "No, I will be taking him to my quarters" Lord Philza walks through the halls with servants and guards alike bowing down to him. Stopping in front a large door. Grabbing the handle, twisting it open and walking inside. A large comfortable nest with Prince Wilbur, Prince Technoblade and Princex Ranboo lounging inside. The trio look at Theseus and Philza warmly, making space for them inside, Lord Philza unclasps the collar around Theseus' neck, he immediately is hit with a wave of dizziness, knees buckling only to be caught by Lord Philza, who gently lays him down in the nest before he passes out again.

Phil looks down at his little chick and whispers.

“Welcome Home Theseus”

         [The Aether, XD Plane, Holy Hours]

The XD Plane was a beautiful, emphasis on Was. At the moment It is utter chaos, High Angel Theseus is missing, Lord Insomnium has locked himself in his study, attempting to make another meeting with The Fallen Angels. As he strokes the last line of the summoning circle a bright blaze breaks out of it. Revealing a bored looking demon, the creature had the the appearance of a fox, they flick their tail and they take a more humanoid look, with orange ears atop his head, light brown hair with strokes of white, his sclera black with glowing yellow eyes, he still had his fox tail. 

"Hello, you must be Lord Insomnium, names Prince Fundy, Prince Fundy of The Fallen Angels. How may I be of assistance?" He-Fundy says, his mouth curling into a smile revealing sharp teeth. 

"I want Theseus back" Lord Insomnium says through gritted teeth. Fundy laughs, almost manically.

"High Angel Theseus is Gone. Now, I must take my leave, my father is calling me" and with that final word Fundy snaps his talons and disappears 

❀♡❀

Phil, Techno, Wilbur, Ranboo and a sleeping figure lounge around in the nest, Ranboo pokes the boy with his talons. 

"Don't do that Mate, you'll disturb the process" Phil reprimanded lightly. 

"But Daadd~ I want to meet him already! When is he gonna wake up?" Ranboo whined. Phil chuckled fondly. "Within the next two weeks, don't worry My Darkling," he looks down at the boys almost fully black feathers "He'll surely love you"

The ignition of the summoning ring in the corner indicates Fundy's return. Wilbur croons, holding out his arms, Fundy rolls his eyes but lays against his father's chest. 

"How was Is it Darling? What did he ask of you?" Wilbur asks, scratching Fundy's head with his talons. 

"It was fine, he wanted Theseus back"

"Aw, thank's for taking care of that for me Love, you're the best"

"I know" Fundy grins sharply, Techno snorts. Ranboo yawns. Phil croons "Aww mate, are you tired?" Ranboo nods, Phil smiles and pulls his wing around them. Ranboo dreams of a small boy with the wings of their father.

❀♡❀

They do not wake, they simply drift, vaguely they feel a aching around their head and lower back. They hear a voice, the voice was a gentle one, motherly, it made them feel safe

"Hello Little One, I do hope you're comfortable, I know the changing process is quite painful. Sadly that is the one thing I cannot control. Ah!How rude,I have not introduced myself, my name is Kristin, or if I am being formal, Lady Death. Philza tells me you are a kind boy, do tell Phil I will be visiting soon. Ah, you are about to awake, I love you darling, and remember to tell Phi-"

❀♡❀

Phil smiles as his chick opens his eyes. He chirps, the chicks eyes snap to him and attempt to mimic the sound, it sounded raspier and more childish then Phil's. Phil chirps again, this time bringing meaning to it. 

Chick-Love-Family-Coven-Safe-Love.

The chick trills back.

Family-Love-Flock-Coven-Safe-Love-Love!. He grabs onto his father, black wings flapping happily.

"Mm, your brothers are gonna love you" Phil spoke warmly. The chick yawns, Phil smiles again, wrapping his wings around his chick, holding him tight to his chest, resting his head above the younger's. The chick's eyes close again, falling asleep in the warm embrace of his father.

❈✿❈✿❈ (Time skip <3)

Lord Insomnium cries into his hands, he is in such deep shit. XD is getting suspicious, he's coming over, and if he finds Theseus gone, Insomnium doesn't even want to imagine what he'll do to him. He takes a deep shaky breath, George walks up to him, his wings fluttering behind him. 

"You look like you're about to cry, we'll figure something out, why don't we call your mum?"

"NO! We can't! Then she'll know I-she'll know I failed, that I'm not worthy," he stands, preening his wings and grabbing a comb. "I'm gonna make another deal" he grabs a blade, stroking it against his finger, golden blood flowing from it, he paints a summoning circle. Flames burning from it. The bored looking fox demon appears. "Long time no see Insomnium. Hi George!" He waves, George waves back casually. Lord Insomnium turns to his friend angrily. 

"You KNOW him?!" He yells, George shrugs nonchalantly "He visited when I was stuck in the Nether" Lord Insomnium shakes his head.

"I need to make a meeting with The Fallen Angels, immediately" 

Fundy rolls his eyes, but nods. "I'll arrange it. Oh, and George, tell Punz I say hello"

"Of course, send my regards to Bad and Sapnap as well"

"Mm. My coven will be here shortly, have someone waiting by the gates" and with that the fox demon vanishes back to his realm

Lord Insomnium grabs his better kimono, hastily putting it on, washing his face.

"Go to the gate George"

"Drea-"

"DON'T CALL ME THAT," he takes a deep breath "Go to the gates, that is an order" 

"Yes Sire" George walks out of the room, seemingly to The In-Between Gates. How DARE he call Insomnium by that name. Lord Insomnium walks to The Tree Od Peace. Standing there, shaking his leg. I'm what felt like an eternity later George appeared with The Fallen Angels in tow.

"Insomnium, what would you like to discuss?" Lord Philza spoke. Lord Insomnium scowls.

"You know what I want, you fuckin' scum"

"Ooh, little Dreamy got mad about being a shit brother?" Prince William teased

"Oh you BITCH" Lord Insomnium lunges for the man. Prince Technoblade steps In front of his brother, tail thrashing threateningly. Lord Insomnium regains his composure, 

"I want Theseus back"

"Hasn't my son told you? Theseus is gone"

"YOU'RE LYING, HE HAS TO BE WITH YOU" Lord Insomnium cried. Golden tears running down his face.

Lord Philza stepped to the side, revealing a small blonde, with black wings, a red tail that flicked back and forth, two nub like horns peeking out of his golden hair, his whole body was adorned in jewels, Princex Ranboo hugging them closely.

"......Theseus?" Lord Insomnium gasped. The boy hid his face further into his sibling, whispering something only just audible.

"Who is Theseus, my name is Tommy" Lord Insomnium crumbled, falling to his knees, Lord Philza grabs his face and turns it to look at him. 

"And now Mate, it's time for you to pay for your sins" Lord Philza flicks his talons and the ground opens, 'hands' pulling the screaming man down, Lord Philza knew that XD would be mad. He did not care, how dare the 'God' choose an innocent child. Though, this would not be the first time, Phil smiles at a distant memory, of him being chosen. Ah, memories. Smiling at all of his chicks, he returns home.

Chapter Text

Hello Again! Let's start the QnA!

Question 1 (one) by Eclipse04:

Is Dream The One XD chose?

Short answer: yes

Long answer: Dream and Lord Insomnium are indeed the same person, but Lord Insomnium does not use the name Dream as it doesn't hold the same power, he believes it makes him weak, and XD chose the name Insomnium for him, so y'know, big honor and shit. 

Question 2 (two) by MidnightStarlight07:

 What did Phil mean when he said, "how dare the 'God' choose an innocent child."? Is there something more to how this all connects? And was he referring to Tommy?

One(1)- I'm not gonna answer that, as it connects with the lore i'm gonna write about it. But, let's just say Phil and XD have a history :3

Two(2)- it was referring to Insomnium (believe it or not, he was innocent at some point) AND Theseus!!

Question 3 (three) by the_amaZEEng_idiot:

So, Tommy doesn't have his memories of being a High Angel? If he doesn't, does that happen to all Fallen Angels or did Phil or someone else have fingers in that? Is it permanent? If not, how long does this memory loss last?

No he does not! Theseus and Tommy are different beings, as stated, they share a vessel. The changing process killed Theseus and birthed Tommy out of Theseus' soul

The rest of The Fallen Angels (except Phil, of course) are natural born demons, so no changing needed there. 

I would assume it last's forever, but maybe he would get a couple of his memories back over time!

Fun facts!!

___

______

1) Phil's horns are similar to those of a deer and he hangs tons of emeralds from them!

2) Wilbur and Techno are actual twins in this fic!

3) I like to think that now that Tommy exists, he has the mind and appearance of a 3-5 year old.

4) Ranboo is actually part spirit (ghost) that's what his white half is! I imagine when he gets mad the white half steams a little.
