When we went to visit Wilbur, my parents asked how my match went. I didn't lie and told them what had happened. "What?!", exclaimed Philza as he gripped his sword. Techno explained that Dream had been disqualified by Quackity and Karl. George had agreed while even going as far as to leave with Dream back to Triox. George's familiar arrived shortly after we had arrived to apologize on his behalf, much to my parent's anger they didn't say anything too rash to the poor creature. It bowed before disappearing, my parents sighed and began to lecture the children on how to properly prepare in case something like that happened again for their matches. 

My eyes landed on my brother's sleeping face, he looked quite relaxed as he slept soundly. A wave of relief washed over me as I saw him with a much better complexion than before. Though my parents didn't seem to want to address the bigger question that seemed to roam on everyone's mind as they looked at Wilbur. "His wings... How are they?", I frowned as my eyes landed on them. They were supposed to be fine now but they were wrapped up in bandages, letting me know that the potion wasn't good enough to heal them properly. Philza confirmed this as he frowned, he began to tell us that Wilbur wouldn't be able to fly right away. Even though the potion was given to him, one of his wings was too damaged to heal as quickly as his body while the other remained stiff and unable to move. "I understand...", I frowned. Techno suggested that my parents go rest since the matches for the day had been finished. Tommy agreed before escorting our parents to their room. "You look worried...", frowned my husband as he joined my side.

I shook my head, it wasn't the right time to worry everyone with my superstitions. There was a knock on the door before we told them to come in. A young man popped his head in before I recognized him. "Foolish, it's nice to see you again.", I smiled before telling him to join us. The man smiled before handing us a small bouquet. "I hope he gets better... He was magnificent during that fight...", smiled Foolish. I thanked him before placing the flowers with some that had already been there when we had arrived. I asked Foolish if he wanted anything to drink, he thanked me before telling me that a glass of water would be fine. We all gathered around the small table in the room before Foolish pulled out a long wooden box. It was beautifully carved with designs of flowers and nature. "I finally finished these for you as requested, Technoblade.", smiled the man. My eyes went to my husband, he had a satisfied smile on his lips as he thanked Foolish. I didn't question it at first but became curious to the point where I had grabbed Techno's hand. 

"What's in the box?", I asked. Both men gave me an amused smile before Techno took the lid off the box. I looked at the beautiful craftsmanship of the earrings residing inside, green emeralds with a long gold chain, it was connected to a black diamond on the end that was the piece that hooked onto your ear. "Beautiful.", I muttered. Techno chuckled before confessing that he felt relieved that I liked them. "I had these made for all of us in Veri. These will help us know if anyone is injured or in danger.", explained Techno. Foolish nodded before explaining how the earrings worked and how once they were on our bodies, they would connect with our souls. "Why go that far?", I asked. Both men frowned before I got what that meant. 

In case we die... 

I knew Gods were untouchable and even dubbed as immortals, but that was a false rumor. As Gods, we are given longer lifespans than humans but we are not immortals. Humans along with any other creatures that were created had the chance to kill a God and harvest their powers. The only creatures that were prone to poke fun at Death were the Immortals. The Gods that had committed something so distasteful that the Creators had made them unable to die. The ultimate punishment for any former human or God. The mere thought of seeing the ones you die before you over and over as you stay there, untouched by time made me want to shiver. "(Y/n)?", frowned Techno as he touched my shoulder. I remained calm before reassuring him that I was fine. Foolish reassured us that along with the bracelets that Sam had gifted us for our wedding, the earrings could help us communicate when we were too far away from each other. "Thank you again, Foolish. Here's your payment.", said Techno before handing him a pouch. Foolish smiled before bowing and excusing himself, we waved before I heard Wilbur stir in his bed. 

"(Y/n)... Techno...", he smiled sleepily at us. We rushed to his side before making the bed comfy enough for him to sit on, I frowned as he winced. "Don't move your wings too much...", I smiled. Wilbur nodded before asking for some water, he asked what had happened before we frowned. "Dream almost killed you, Wil.", frowned Techno. Wilbur laughed softly as he reminded us that Dream was one of our closest friends. "Wil... You really don't remember?", I asked as I took hold of his hand. My brother shook his head, we slowly began to explain what happened yet Wilbur smiled and said he had no hard feelings against Dream. "If you insist... We shall continue our friendly interactions with Triox.", said Techno before telling us that he inform everyone of Wilbur. I nodded and focused on my brother once Techno was gone, he tilted his head before offering me a warm smile. "Wilbur... Be honest with me, Little Brother...", I frowned. Like a veil being removed, Wilbur began to shake and hyperventilate. "I'm scared... I don't remember all that... Yet I feel like something will happen if we go against Triox, Sister...", he confessed. I quickly hid my brother, being careful not to bother his wings. "I see... Regardless, we will keep our guards up around them, Wil.", I whispered before telling him to lay back down. 

The following days, the competition continued with Sapnap being in George's place after he left with Dream back to their kingdom. Wilbur and I watched as the matches continued and even had a speech to reassure everyone that there was no hostility among Veri and Triox. This helped ease the tension in the Kingdom of Las Nevadas. The games continued and soon it was my turn to go against Tommy. "Don't mess him up too much.", smiled Wilbur. I reassured everyone that it would be a friendly sparring like the ones back home. Much to our dismay, once the match began, Tommy stabbed his sword into the ground and proclaimed that he would give up the match. I stood a bit dumbfounded as I looked at my little brother before I laughed and ran over to hug him. The crowd around the coliseum clapped for us before we headed back to go upstairs with everyone else. "Awww, Tommy. You love our sister so much that you would throw away a match.", teased Wilbur. Unfortunately, Tommy didn't fall for our brother's usual teasing and stood there, looking at the ground. I felt something had changed my gremlin and it was most likely that fact that he almost had lost both his siblings before his very eyes. Wilbur seemed to notice this as well, he got up and stood next to me when we both hugged Tommy. "It's okay, Toms... We're okay now...", smiled Wilbur, hiding us. I felt Tommy's grip on us tighten before he shook a bit, I smiled and wiped a few stray tears from his face. "You'll always have us, Tommy.", I whispered. He nodded before telling us to stay like that a bit longer. 

After that, Tommy regained a bit of his previous demeanor while sticking close to us as much as possible. "He's still a child.", smiled Techno. I nodded before reassuring him that our troublesome gremlin would be pranking us again soon enough. We all focused when Ranboo's match was announced, Sapnap shook hands with him and we watched as they began their duel. Much to our surprise, Ranboo did pretty well against the Alchemist even though he had lost. Techno stood up proudly as Ranboo got up with Sapnap's help. He was still a child in our eyes yet I could see that he had grown up so much these past years. Wilbur, Tubbo, and Tommy cheered as Ranboo joined us and began to gush him with compliments and congratulations. He looked over at us before I opened my arms, Ranboo grinned before rushing over to hide me. He was so much taller than me that he made me feel like I was the child sometimes. Techno chuckled before he hugged us both, we all smiled when Kristen and Philza came over to congratulate all of us. 

The winners of the competition were announced with me being one of them. "Here we have it, folks! The Four Horsemen of the country! (Y/n) from the North, Kingdom of Veri! Sapnap from the East, Kingdom of Triox!  Vikkstar from the South, Kingdom of Solis! And finally, Ponk from the West, Kingdom of Valtameri!", announced Schlatt. The coliseum roared with cheers from the people along with applause. Minx came over and began to place beautiful flower crowns on our heads before Schlatt came over to give us all enchanted netherite swords. "These are good for battle.", I smiled before placing the sword on my sheath. Enchanted weapons were rare for the other kingdoms yet in Veri they were abundant. Not that they were used much, Techno had proclaimed back when he first became King, that Enchanted weaponry was prohibited from being made or used in wars against humans. Most of our knights that patrolled our borders were the only ones that were allowed these weapons to use against different monsters that were abundant in the outskirts of our kingdom. 

Sapnap turned to look at me, I smiled at him and asked if anything was wrong. He sighed before apologizing again for Dream. "I hope you still come to visit Las Nevadas...", he whispered. I laughed before telling him that all our summer days would definitely be spent in his new kingdom. Sapnap seemed to lighten up, especially after his husbands came over to join us. My family joined us as well, my hand took Tubbo's. "What's wrong, Sister?", he asked as I began to guide him. We both stopped in front of Minx and Schlatt, the couple froze as they saw Tubbo with me. "I believe it's time you all had a proper chat.", I said. My attention went to the boy next to me as he looked a bit confused, I smiled before patting his cheek. "You had a wish, remember?", I said. Something stirred in Tubbo's eyes before he looked behind me at the couple, he looked back at me before I nodded. "Tubbo... W-", began Minx but didn't finish before she was tackled in an embrace. I watched them all hug before I began to head back with my family, that was such a personal moment that it felt like I was intruding. Techno was the first to ask where I had gone with Tubbo before everyone else began to ask as well. I smiled before reassuring them that we could begin to head back to our rooms. My husband took hold of my hand before asking if this was about Tubbo's parents.

"I had to reunite them... No child should be taken from their parents."
