I was about to go netherite mining. Yes, I was stacked, but you can never be too stacked in my book. I was walking towards the nether portal that lead from the over world to the nether. I quickly placed my enderchest down, grabbing my enchanted netherite pickaxe before entering the purple swarming portal.

I close the chest, pickaxe in my hand. I look up to see something, or more so someone.

My eyes widen in realization who the figure was. The smiley face, the green hoodie, it was all too familiar

"D-dream..?" I whisper out in disbelief and fear

"Hello, little sister" He says with a smirk that I could just faintly see under his mask

"H-how? What? When? I-" I stutter as my breathing becomes unsteady

"It's good to see you, been a while since you, y'know, betrayed me. That really hurt, y'know. Having the only person you trust, turn on you."

He's trying to make me feel bad..

"I learn from the best." I say brutally

His smirk fades, I was sure if it

"It's been brutal. To be honest, I'd rather be in the prison than with that maniac"

"What's this? Dream is being open and saying how he feels?" I say with sarcasm

"Don't act like you're so sly. We both know you're scared shitless" The smirk returns

He certainly knows me very well

"What do you want, Dream?" I ignore his statement

He gives a small chuckle in victory "I want you to join me"

"Join you?" I laugh "I don't even know what you want to do, and I don't need to. I decline."

He walks over to me "Here me out. We could be the most powerful people in the server. Look at us! Manipulative, rich, and with your connections we could rule the whole server. How would it sound to be the princess of the Dreamsmp?"

"You know I've never been a fan of princesses" I say with a blank face

He slightly chuckles "Yeah, yeah I know. I know everything about you. What you want, what you . And I plan to use that against you"

I swallow in nervousness "Telling me your plans? You really are a stereotypical villainous bastard"

"Hmm, it seems I'm running out of time.." He says ominously

"What do you mean, bitch?" I ask cruelly

"Think about it. You know what you want. Think about how it would be with that much power in your hands. You know where to find me once you make your decision"

"Wh- what do you mean? Where are you going? Are-"

Before I can finish my questions, all I see is black

That is, until, my eyes flutter open. I see the familiar scenery of my room.

My breathing was still uneven and strong.

It was a dream. It was just a dream. It isn't real, he's still with Quackity. Calm down.

No matter how much I attempted to convince myself, I still somehow knew it wasn't just a dream. I knew that he was part God, he could potentially do something like this. I figured ignoring it would be the best option.

The buzzes from my bees fill my ears. I could usually block them out, but occasionally they would get very loud and crowd my mind. It mainly happened when something either really bad or really exciting was happening. If I needed to, I'd even talk to them

"H-hey bees" I say as I try to regain steady breaths

"It was just a dream- or more so a nightmare" I talk to the bees, that were normally just spewing out nonsense

"He can't hurt anyone, right? Sure, he could potentially do some crazy shit since he's part God but, could he possibly do that? Or was it just a dream?" I ask the bees, them just yelling with different answers. However, I couldn't understand them all at once.

I get out of my bed and grab some food from a chest, munching on it with thoughts swarming my mind. My leg was shaking up in down anxiously as different scenarios and possibilities were thought of at lightning speeds.

"This is too much. I need to clear my mind" I say, putting in my enchanted netherite armor

I walk out my small cottage, closing the door behind me and walk along the path I created to the nether portal.

This is where I was in my dream..

I look around me nervously as the memory of my dream floods my mind. As I triple check that no one is there, I enter the portal.

As I finally make my way to the prime path, I walk around. I had no motive or destination, I just needed to walk and try my best to clear my thoughts. I eventually found myself walking towards the L'manhole

I look at it grimly. I wish I could have been here before it got blown up. The history is truly an incredible story and was quite fascinating to me.

Eventually, I walk past old L'manburg. I stray away from where houses and buildings were built, still having no motive with my strolling.

I was walking along a large ocean. I walked along the shore and looked out into the blue sea. That was until something peculiar caught my eye.

It was a hole in the ground

Naturally, I walked over to it to inspect what it was. I looked inside to see purple and black covering the walls of the small room. There was a jukebox in the middle and signs covering the whole room.

I carefully make my way into the room and look around it more closely

There were signs around the walls and I read them

"You are fine"

"Choose sides, not people"

And in the middle of the back wall

"DREAM IS THE REASON"

"What the hell.." I murmur as I read the sign "What is this room?"

My attention is brought back to the jukebox in the floor. I get an idea and dig one if my favorite, and most calming, music discs. I place the disc in carefully and wait for it to begin the music.

Merry-Go-Round of Life fills the small room

I close my eyes, listening to the beautiful music fill the room.

Eventually, my body takes over and I dance around to the song. Letting my arms and legs sway around to the orchestra of music coming from the small jukebox. I forgot about everything that was bothering me before and focused on my dancing and the music.

As the music felt stronger within me, I danced stronger. I got caught up the dancing and calmness of the song.

Until it ended. I breathed out and opened my eyes.

"It's all gonna be alright. It was just a nightmare and none of it was real." I reassure myself

As I take out the disc from the jukebox and make my way to the whole in the ceiling to climb my way out, my vision gets crowded. It was like black swarms preventing me from being able to see normally.

"You can never escape me, " I hear Dream's voice echo through my head. As if he was inside of it

My vision slowly steadies, unlike my breathing which got worse than it was before. Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized that hard fact that it wasn't just a nightmare. It was real. He was. He had a plan, and he knew exactly what he was doing

I began to spiral again. Yelling and screaming to myself in the small room made out of obsidian.

"I- I won't let his manipulation get to me.." I murmur as my chat is still going ballistic

I make my Twitch screen slowly fade to black and play "Ruler of Everything" By Tally Hall

Another day, another song to traumatize my chat

I hit the "Go Live" button as the notification for my stream titled "FINALLY building my giant mushroom house :D 🍄|| DreamSMP" sent to thousands of people

My viewers poured in quickly and chat started saying hello

"Hey chat! Today we are building my mushroom house that I've been meaning to make for ages" I greet my chat

I went off looking for the materials that I would need to make the house. I found mushrooms from dark oak forests and got acacia wood, which took around a hour. It was a normal stream, really.

Until it wasn't.

I put the same black swarms on the screen and sounds similar to what Ranboo used when his "Lessons" popped up in his lore stream. I increased the sound of my breathing and how fast it was.

I take the blackness of my screen, along with the noise, and dream starts talking "Hello, did you miss me?"

My chat was spamming things along the lines of "WHAT" "LORE??" "NO, WHY" and "CHAT, HOLD HANDS ITS LORE" and I resisted the urge to laugh at them

"W-what? Please-" I say in an almost whisper

"I'll take that as a no, then"

I make my character look around to try to see if he was there

"Where are you?" I ask

"What do you mean? I'm in your head"

I fake gasp "B-but how?"

"You know I'm part God" He says

"I mean I know that but-" I start

"Have you ever thought about that, Sky?" He cuts me off with a question

"About you being part God?" I clarify

"About being part God." He corrects

I pause before saying my next line to act like I was surprised

"N-no I haven't. You had powers, and I didn't. That's just how it was."

"Sky, we all have powers"

"We?"

"Yeah. Me, you, Foolish, Michelle" He clarifies

"Wait, what? What do they have to do with this?" I ask confused since my character didn't canonically know that Foolish bc Michelle was related to her

"Do you remember anything about mom and dad? Like what they looked like?" He asks, avoiding my confusion

"No, nothing at all. The only thing I remember is watching the arrows go through their chests.." I say grimly

"Sky, mom is still alive." He says sternly

I gasp and pause for a while

Suddenly, I start running to a fairly familiar place to my chat

The panic room.

As I'm running, I yell at Clay "No, shut up. You're lying. You're trying to get to my head. Stop!"

"You know Captain Puffy?" He keeps going

"NO, SHUT UP, CLAY!" I yell even louder

"She doesn't know you're her daughter. Nor does Foolish or Michelle know you're their sister. Only I know." His voice stays the same and ignores my protests

"NO! IT'S NOT TRUE! STOP FUCKING LYING" I finally get to the panic room and jump in

I get a disc out my inventory and put it in the jukebox. I make sure to mute the game and put in my own music, which was Merry-Go-Round of Life form last stream.

"You're part God, Cloud!" He yells over the music

"STOP CALLING ME BY THAT FUCKING NAME" I yell back

"What are you gonna do? Sting me?" He teases

"DON'T BRING THAT UP, BITCH"

"You have , Cloud. You're part , and you don't even care??"

"Wether I'm God or not I'd have powers anyways because of this stupid DNA in my veins"

He chuckles "Yeah, about that.."

"What do you mean, about that?" I ask with the darkest voice I can

"Cloud, I made that illusion. When mom and dad got hurt, I created an illusion for you so you could live happily and forget about us." He explains

I pause "You did that?" I ask, barely audible

"Well it obviously didn't go as pla-"

I made sure to check that my mods were spamming the trigger warnings before saying the next line, and thankfully they were

"YOU SENT ME THROUGH HELL AND BACK? THAT WAS TRAUMATIZING, CLAY. THOSE NEEDLES HURT LIKE A MOTHER FUCKER. I WAS BEAT IF I DIDN'T LISTEN TO HIM. I HAVE SCARS LITTERED THROUGHOUT MY BODY FROM HIM HURTING ME EVERY. SINGLE. FUCKING. DAY." I yell

"IT OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T GO AS PLANNED, DUMBASS. I MEANT FOR A DREAM TO COME TRUE THAT YOU HAD POWERS BUT SINCE I COULDN'T SEE THE ILLUSION I WAS MAKING IT GOT MESSED UP" he yells back

"WAS IT WORTH IT? HOW THE HELL DO I EVEN HAVE FUCKING BEE WINGS AND A TAIL, CLAY??"

"Cloud, your power is shapeshifting. I made that illusion for you to have an explanation for it."

I don't say anything

"We can be Gods, together. Literal Gods. Join me, Cloud. We can rule the world. You know how much you crave power, you crave to be on top. Think about how powerful we'll be. It'd be nice, wouldn't it?"

I stay silent.

"I asked you a question, Sky." He says sternly

I still don't say anything.

He laughs slightly "You know the answer. You'll join me eventually, even if it means I have to force you to"

He starts laughing and I slowly make it sound like it's fading out

And with that, he leaves the call

"The scary part is," I pause "I know he's right about my want for power. But will I give in to that want?"

I make my screen fade to black, and once again play Ruler of Everything by Tally Hall

My chat is gonna have a field day with this one...
