Nov. 28th, that was the day Tommy's world fell apart. he was just spending time with his two arthropod children when the alarms went off. In a panic, he picked up his son, shroud, & grabbed his daughter's hand before running back to their home. As soon as the three entered the dirt mound they called home, tommy barricaded the door. Once the doors were blocked off, the single father ushered the young spider & nether moth into a safe room. "papa... what's that sound?" his daughter, Moth, asked. "it's the prison alarm, someone either broke in, or is breaking him out..." Tommy said, holding shroud in his arms while wrapping a wing around moth. "is Michael & uncle Tubbo gonna be ok?" shroud asked, traces of fear being present in his voice. "I'm not sure bub... I hope they'll be safe tho..." tommy replied, tensing his wings.

That was three weeks ago. In that time, Tommy had found a dreamon that appeared to follow him around, & a safer location for he & his kids to stay at in order to hide from Dream. As he was thinking of what to do, he didn't notice someone in his path till he bumped int them. "sorry, I-" "WATCH IT!"  the person snapped, turning around to look at who bumped into them. "sorry Jack, I didn't see you the-" tommy tried to explain, only to be cut off again. "How did you not see me?! Are you that bloody blind?" Jack said with a hint of hatred. "no no, it's not that! I was just caught up in my thoughts and wasn't looking, it was an honest mistake." Tommy said, rushing to actually get his thoughts out before Jack could interrupt him. "honest mistake? Yeah, like you ever don't mean anything." He remarked In a sarcastic tone.

"now jack, what do you mean by that?" tommy asked, confused as to why he said that. "don't play dumb you bastard, you know what you did." Jack said, a little angrier. "what do you mean by that? Are you still mad that I asked Sam Nook to escort you out of my hotel-" Tommy started, only to get interrupted again. "STOP PRETENDING YOU'RE INNOCENT YOU LITTLE SHIT! YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID!" Jack said, pulling out his sword in frustration. "I'M NOT PRETENDING, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! ALL I DID WAS ACIDENTALLY BUMP INTO YOU AND NOW YOU'RE BLAMING ME FOR THINGS I DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT!! WHATS GOTTEN INTO YOU MAN?!" Tommy shouted back in a combination of fear and anger, backing away in the process.

At seeing The winged boy back away, JackManifold began to approach him. "ohhh no, you don't get to act dumb and play the innocent card, you know what you did." He said, anger visible in his eyes. "Jack my man, I don't know what's gotten into you, but you're beginning to sound crazy. I mean, I don't even know what you're accusing me of." Tommy said, trying to defuse the situation. This seemed to have the opposite effect that was intended, as it seemed to only anger Jack further. "oh, OH! I, SOUND CRAZY?! WELL AT LEAST I DON'T CAUSE PAIN AND SUFFERING FOR OTHERS!! I MIGHT SOUND CRAZY TO YOU, BUT I'M DOING EVERYONE A FAVOR!!" the man said as he approached tommy.

Before he could even react, tommy felt a sharp pain over one of his eyes. Instinctively, the seventeen-year-old placed his hand on his face, already knowing what had happened. As Jack raised his sword, now covered in blood, Tommy pushed him away with one of his wings. "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU MAN!! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!" Tommy shouted, now scared for his life, something he hadn't felt in a while... not after what he did. "ohhh... you know exactly what it was for." Jack said, regaining his balance and making his way towards the injured child when all of a sudden, an unfamiliar roar traveled through the air. "w-what was that?" Tommy asked, nervous as to what made that sound.

Jack looked around quickly in an attempt to locate whatever made that cry, only to come up with nothing. Frustrated, Jack looked at tommy, who was still in shock from hearing the sound, and smirked. As Jack was about to strike an off-guard Tommy with his sword, something suddenly knocked it out of his hand, re-alerting tommy to the danger, and shocking Jack. "W-what the hell was that?!" jack said, readying his shield & taking out an axe. Before either could react, a grey creature ran up on Jack manifold from the side, tackling him to the ground.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?!" Jack shouted, putting his shield up in order to prevent any attacks from the creature. In what appeared to be a response, the creature let or the exact same roar from earlier. At this moment, Tommy noticed an opportunity for escape. Reluctantly, he took it, knowing that whatever that thing was, was too strong for him to take down.

Once Tommy managed to finally escape to a safe distance, he stopped to think about what just happened. "Ok, what the hell was that thing? Well, whatever it was, it seems like Jack pissed it off earlier..." tommy said to himself, leaning against the wall of prime path. He thought back on the moment trying to take it all in, everything had happened so fast. First he accidently bumped into Jack, who was really mad for some reason, then Jack begins accusing him of stuff he had no knowledge of & refused to elaborate. After that Jack decided to attack him, managing to get his left eye, & to top it all off, something decided to attack him, leaving tommy both injured & confused.

"what, just happened back there?" he said to himself, carefully heading back to his dirt hut in order to recoup his thoughts, bandage his left eye, & prepare his kids for the move. All Tommy knew at that moment, was things would never be the same.

(Authors no, I have been working on this story at school mainly and I decided to do a read through of the prologue, and I found out you could change the color of the page, I went to the third option and it actually looks like one of the old time books, so I recommend using that if you're going to read this book because it looks good honestly, you don't have to use that setting if you don't want to though)
