!!Blood and Death!!

Dream had basically been living with his murderer this entire time, or was he the murderer? Dream told Techno to kill him, so wasn't it his own fault that he was dead?

Yet, he understood in a way, he- his alive self- had told Techno to kill him,

Dream stood up and began floating again slowly , "Sorry about that then," Dream said quietly, he was still looking away,

"It's fine, we all have to do hard things in our lives," Techno said blankly and waved it off, Dream still felt incredibly guilty though,

"Want to go in the forest again? Maybe Ranboo's garden?" Wilbur asked as Techno walked away to go practice sword fighting again,

"Sure," Dream said, they walked in the direction of the bigger forest,

"Are you actually ok though?" Wilbur asked,

Dream looked away, "I- I just feel guilty I guess, isn't it my fault I'm dead? I also probably put you guys under a lot of pressure and guilt and sadness.." Dream said sadly,

"Dream, I've already explained this to you, well, alive you," Wilbur started, "It's not your fault, it's basically everyone's fault that they made you like that," Wilbur said,

Dream got a small but painful headache at that comment,

Dream smiled slightly, "Thanks for being there for me then Wilbur.." Dream said sadly,

"It's fine! It's what friends are for right?" Wilbur said with a smile,

"Yeah! Thank you anyway," Dream said happily,

"Oh- and how many books did you read last night? It seems like you read a lot of them," Wilbur asked,

"Uh, four, maybe?" Dream wondered, Wilbur laughed warmly, "Four? In the entire night?! I would've only finished one!" Wilbur laughed,

They laughed and talked for the next three hours as they walked to Ranboo's garden, they both had butterflies but they didn't mention it,

"We're here!" Wilbur exclaimed as they
approached the edge of the forest, the small snapping of branches was noticed by Wilbur, the strange thing was, they were walking on a path but there were no branches in sight, Wilbur decided to investigate later,

"Finally! How long have we even been walking?" Dream asked, Wilbur just shrugged,

They both walked up to the giant stone maze, "Do you remember the way there?" Wilbur asked, "Yeah, why?" Dream answered,

Wilbur shrugged, "I might stay here for a little bit longer," Wilbur said, Dream nodded,

"Alright! I'll see you there!" Dream exclaimed happily as he floated off into the maze,

Wilbur's eyes narrowed, "You can come out now!" He called, Ranboo then appeared out of the forest, "Ranboo? What are you doing here?" Wilbur asked,

"The smp people found out I'm not there anymore, they might be in there!" Ranboo explained in a rush, Wilbur's eyes widened in worry,

"Why didn't you just tell us earlier!? Never mind, thanks for telling me I guess!" Wilbur yelled as he ran into the maze,

Ranboo sighed, "This.. might not go that well," Ranboo said,

-With Wilbur-

"Why the hell is this maze so big?!" Wilbur whispered to himself angrily, he eventually found a familiar sign,
