~I updated the other story btw... 👉👈

"I'm guessing Phil will want to talk to me, now that Eret is here, so..." Techno says, rocking back and fourth going from his toes to his heals and back.

Dream turns his head to look at the other.

"Uh..." Techno says, trying to figure out how to say what he wants to say.

"I'll be fine." Dream says, reading Techno's mind.

"Okay... okay. Keep an eye on Wilbur, I don't trust the look in his eyes." Techno says. "Are you sure you'll be okay?" Techno asks in a hushed voice.

"Yes, and yes, I'll be fine. Wait- Why can't I go?" Dream asks.

"I don't know... I... Hmm..." Techno says, trailing off to think.

"It's fine. Actually. I think it would be best if one of us stays around out here." Dream says in a genuine voice.

"No, no. Come with me." Techno says.

"No, actually. It's fine. I can stay here, watch Wilbur, keep tabs on things, and you can do the boring work." Dream says.

"Boring work?" Techno asks.

"Yeah, you just have to talk about stuff, I get the fun job. I get to do other stuff while people watching." Dream says.

Techno roles his eyes. "Whatever. Go do you're 'fun' job." He says.

"I will." Dream says, taking a step back.

Techno raises one eyebrow.

"I'm leaving now." Dream says.

Techno continues to give him a skeptical look.

"You leave, too." Dream whispers.

Techno laughs, softly, shaking his head and taking a step back. "Why're you bein' weird?" He asks.

"I'm not being weird, I'm just getting into the lore." Dream says. (omg Dream don't brake the fourth wall)

"This is real life, Dream." Techno says.

"Yeah, but- Well... You're right. Bye." He says before running off into the festival.

"I-" Techno starts to say but is cut off by Phil tapping his shoulder.

Techno whips around, almost chopping Phil's arm off with his ax.

"Holy, hell!" Phil yells, jumping back.

"Then don't sneak up on me." Techno says.

"We didn't. We've been here this whole time." Eret says.

Techno doesn't say anything, just blinks a few times. 

"Anyways..." Eret says, breaking the awkward wall. "Phil said that the three of us needed to talk."

"Yes." Phil says, pulling the letter, Techno had sent him, out and handing it to Eret.

Eret reads over the letter, nodding every once in a while. It seems to take a while for him to read it, but Techno could tell he was re-reading it.

"Okay... That's strange. I've never heard of anything like that in these lands. Well I guess it's not these lands but... yeah, I've never heard of it around here. It sounds similar to something that happened a while ago in another's lands. I wasn't there to hear it first hand, but the writings tell of similar happenings." Eret says.

"Who's lands?" Techno asks.

"It was a kingdom that died years ago, hundreds of miles away. It is a real place. It sounds like I'm making this up but I'm not, it's a real place." Eret says.

"Why did the kingdom die?" Phil asks, both him and Techno being suddenly very interested, looking like two kids listening to someone read a book to them.

"This." Eret says, pointing to the letter.

Both Techno and Phil go silent, brains processing the sudden information.

"Okay... Let's not panic. Let's think about this." Phil says. "Do you have the writings of this kingdom?"

"Not on me, they're back in the castle library." Eret says.

"Should we go now?" Phil asks.

"No. It would bring too much attention to it. We don't want people getting suspicious about the three of us sneaking off." Techno says.

"So after the festival, we go to the castle and discuss this further?" Phil asks.

"Yes." Techno says.

"Okay..." Eret says.

The three of them stand there awkwardly in silence.

"Well... I uh... Gotta go." Techno says, before starting to back up.

"Yeah, same." Eret says.

"Me, too..." Phil says. 

The three of them awkwardly leave in separate directions. 

~~~

Techno looks around the festival, searching for Dream. He looks around the booths, food stands, and standing areas; no sign of Dream, or Wilbur.

He starts to look around quicker, more frantically, yet not letting it show. He eventually finds the two by the cliff.

"What the hell are y'all doin' over here? I couldn't find you guys. I was gettin' worried." Techno says, approaching the two that were sitting on the ledge.

"Oh, hey." Dream says. "It was a little too much, being around so many people so we decided to leave for a bit." He says, Wilbur nodding along with him.

"Okay..." Techno says, looking at Wilbur suspiciously. 

"I've been catching Wilbur up on some of the happenings he missed." Dream says.

Techno nods, sitting between the two but further back from the ledge than they were.

"I would've never guessed they would do that." Wilbur says in an off-putting tone of voice.

"Yeah... Me neither." Techno says, watching his bother's odd body language. "We're going to have to stay here for the whole festival, I'm meeting with Eret and Phil at the castle. You can come, too." Techno says to Dream.

"Yeah, I'll come." Dream says.

"A meeting for what?" Wilbur asks, tilting his head to the side slightly.

"Something that happened near my cabin." Techno says, not trusting Wilbur with anymore information.

Wilbur nods, locking eyes with Technoblade, giving him a look that let Techno know he knew that he was onto him.

Dream clears his throat, "Should we get back to the festival before people start wondering where we are?" He asks.

"Yeah." Techno says, standing up, not braking eye contact with his brother.

"That's a good idea." Wilbur says, in a sickeningly cheery tone.

"Okay..." Dream says. "Let's go then..." 

They walk back to the festival's happenings in silence, Techno keeping a close eye on Wilbur the whole time.
