The Thorned Dagger

|☆|Chapter 1|☆|

There he was sitting in the same old place in the same old chair and with the same old life. Purpled had layed his head down on the dark wood counter and sighed. Ever since he gave up and decided to work in the family business he's been lonely.

  He was ok with it actually he preferred it but sitting in a tavern all the time seeing his brother and his crew go on missions and work together it made him well...jealous. He wanted to be able to feel the same with people the way they look at eachother with trust and determination but also love not LOVE love but just with care he wanted that. He wanted someone to trust and care for. "You would probably get friends if you went out more and talked..." That's what his brother always tells him. But even if he tried that no one sparked his interest and usually people were assholes because they know his brother.

"Hey there Purpled!" Ponk stood infront of him a rag on his arm and a grin on his face. "Hey Ponk..." Purpled sat there not in the mood to talk. "How have you been lately, I've heard that missions have been getting low and people are pretty low on money quite a bother if you ask me!" Ponk started to wipe down the counter. "Hmm...yeah boards have been going empty..."

    Purpled didnt want to admit it but crimes were lowering ever since the new king made many limitations to where certain people can go. This man had so much anxiety and worryment that he buit yellow and black walls to keep them in. "Geez what a bummer I heard how much it's been affecting Dream team aswell people have been getting worried..." Ponk leaned on the counter and pick up a cup and started to dry it with a new towel. "Hm..." Purpled sat there with a plain and concentrated look on his face.

     Ponk looked at him and had a face of pity he felt bad for the young kid who was thrown into it. "Welp! You want some apple cider it's on the house!~" Ponk swayed the cup he had just been drying infront of purpleds face. He sighed "sure." He said so he didnt have to conversate any longer.

Purpled thought about the recent meeting that Dream hosted where all the man did was yell and curse. Dream in Purpleds mind was a power hungry asshole but a good fighter that's for sure. The only reason that Purpled was at the tavern right now was because he had a meeting with him. As if on time he heard creaky steps coming from the stair and looked at his brother who called him over with a beckoning motion.

He got up and head his way over towards him. "He's ready for you..." Punz whispered. Purpled only pushed past him his hands in his pockets and made his way up the stairs.
Punz followed behind him not in much of a rush. There he was standing infront of Dreams office door waiting, not waiting for him but waiting for all the nerves to leave his body and go away. "Well come on now we dont go all day!" Punz was still behind him with his arms crossed. "Shut up." Is all purpled said. He was already nervous enough and didnt need his brothers annoying remarks.

    Punz sighed, "Look the more you stand here the worst it will be." Purpled hate to admit it but he had a point. Without a word to his brother he took a deep breath and grabbed the door knob and started to turn it. As he walked in he saw three figures standing there. He was a bit in shock since he didnt expect all of Dream team to want to see him. "Hello Purpled" Dream said in a cheerful tone.

George and Sapnap had more of a stone look on their face and almost like they were keeping a secret. Purpled tried not to think to much of it and walked in and stood in front of the dark oak table that was in the middle of the room. Dream was pouring himself a cup of red wine while George and Sapnap gave eachother a look that Purpled couldn't quite understand. "So Dre-sir why did you need to see me?" Dream looked at Purpled his eyes narrowing but he kept a smile on his face.

"Please first sit down make yourself comfortable!" Purpled couldnt help but feel that statement wasnt only for him cause as soon as he said that everyone sat down. Punz sat next to Purpled and had a slightly puzzled look to his face. Dream had finally sat down and took a long drink out of his cup. "So as you know money has been falling short since King Soot lowered the crime rate..." Purpled straightened his back and stayed concentrated on what he was saying. "Well..." He looked at the people in the room and George only nodded. "We have a mission for you...a specific mission." Purpled was honored but confused. "What kind of mission?" Dream hunched over putting his elbows on his knees.

      "I need you to kidnap the prince...his brother." Purpled was in shock. "W-What but sir I'm honored and trust your judgement but don't you think that's too high of a mission for m-me?" Punz sat there also in shock and mumbled something that Purpled could not hear. "Yes that's why I think this is perfect for you. When I was your age I was put in a difficult mission to battle one of strongest known people out there and I came back with praise and love by evryone....but I also came back with a lesson..." Dream said and ended the sentence with a smirk. "And what would that be sir?" He kept direct eye contact with Purpled his forest green eyes looking into his deep purple eyes. "That lesson is you must do what has to be done even if you dont want to do it"
...

   Purpled was thanking Dream before he had walked out of his office and gone back down the stairs. "Purpled there you are man do you still want the cider or-?" Ponk shouted but he was already out the door. "Hm alright then..." Ponk went back to taking orders.

   To be frank Purpleds mind was racing, him and Dream had went over details on how Purpled was going to accomplish this new mission of his but it felt so out of no where. Why out of everyone HIM? I mean dont get him wrong he knew he was amazing but kidnapping a prince?

That was a top mission like for his brother or even his hot headed friend Sapnap. But he choose him. Out of everyone Dream choose him and that's all he needed. Purpled could feel it this was his upbringing to what he needed all along! He had a whole new sense of determination that was bubbling up inside of him and was ready to do whatever it takes to complete his new mission.
