Dream laughed with his "friends." Dream... did care for Sapnap and George. After all, when push came to shove, they would be the ones who ruled all of Essempi.
But if they ever betrayed him... then... They were just means to an end right?
Dream sighed, had he started to care for the "Dream Team?"
"My dad and brother would like to come here!"
"They would..?" Dream asked
"You have a brother?" George replied in confusion
"Yeah, his name's Punz. We lost touch a few years back... I think he got into shady shit in the underground."
"I take it Bad wasn't happy with that."
"Yeah, I don't really know what dad thinks of him anyways..."
The sound of a scurry echoed through the makeshift structure known as the Community House.
"Uh, was I the only one who heard that?"
"Uh, heard what George?"
"That sound."
No, not yet! Unexpected arrivals were not a part of the plan.
"Uh... I think that's just like, a cow or something George." Dream reasoned to himself, and George.
"Yeah, George "I can survive in the wilderness" not found!" Sapnap chuckled
"That's not funny Sap-"
Whispers continued to echo, this was not a animal.
"Uh, what the fuck."
"I told you, Sapnap."
Dream went up the stairs and grabbed his mask, hiding the panic that had begun to set in. Dream could make out the whispers, they were the same language Dream had memorized with Puffy, he was young then, complained about it was useless. Of course, Dream could never say no to his mom, at least not fully.
He new Exdee had better things to do than observe the small town that Dream had forged, so he listed off a list of other god-like beings.
Horus, god of undying, no, he'd still be in exile for an another 13 years after what he did.
Herobrine, oh, who was Dream kidding, all odds that was made up.
Something in his mind told him it couldn't have been the elusive Green God and War God. Almost like a spider, Dream thought to himself.
The Angel of Death would have no reason to be out here-
"WHAT THE-" Dream yelled
That had to be a spirit. It couldn't have been anything else.
The spirit stopped in it's tracks, a sign of... fear? Maybe?
Dream examined the spirit closely, it's skin was completely translucent, large brown antlers spewed out of it's head. It seemed to wear a.. tattered captain america costume... must have been from one of the village kids.. strange for a presumed god to wear.
"Who are you." Dream tensed up, taking out his barley enchated diamond sword.
"I thought, you would know, Exdee." Dream managed to decipher
"I am... not Exdee. I am his son though. A demi-god of sorts." Dream hesitated to give away too much information to the spirit.
I know not of XD having a son."
"I'm only 21."
"Ah, incredibly young, you do look the part." The spirit mused.
"Nobody from other parts comes out here, you know. Otherwise you would have known who I am."
"Look- I have big things planned here. This little town, it will be a empire one day."
"I doubt that."
"You doubt a demi-good."
May I point your attention to Hor-"
It stopped yet again, tensing up.
"I am this land's local god. You may call me Callahan."
"If you are the local god why not speak Common, or English for that-"
"I was cursed, long ago, to only speak in Sprit. You could take me to mortals, and they would assume I am mute."
"... Ah."
"There... is a way around it. I don't trust it with you yet though."
"Curious. You do know I have connections in high places."
" Allies with centuries old kindgoms will not help you here, I have seen far to many of them try to take over this land."
"I mean Lemon City-"
"Lemon City?! You are commited to this. Very well then."
"What is this?"
"Take this, bestow it to your most trusted. I sense something great in you. I call it the Consul."
"This will be useful. May I repay you."
"There is one way."
"What would that be?"
Allow me to forever patrol the lands, empire or not."
"Very well then. A new ally it is."
"I care for Essempi, not this empire of yours. Remember that."
....
"DREAM!" Sapnap cried out.
"Holy shit- We thought you died or something." George said with a sigh of relief.
"Yeah, okay simp." Sapnap laughed.
"Admit it, you simp for me George." Dream chuckled to himself.
"I- No I don't!"
"Uh, who's the new guy." Sapnap pointed a finger and that.. captain america kinne.
"Oh- he's a local. Mute though. His name's Callahan."
"Well then." George piped up. "Nice to meet you Callahan."
Callahan simply smiled.
