Needless to say Techno was relived when he saw them come back, but he was also very pissed when he noticed that Dream was carrying Angela. Skeppy explained what happened and the king decided to not relive their body from the burden that is their head.... for now at least.

Bad warned him that she might remain asleep for a while, seeing that the void really did a number on her, but he assured she would be fine in the end. So Skeppy's group returned to their cave, while Dream and his sister settled down in the Soot kingdom, since Techno still wanted to keep a close eye on him, just to make sure he wouldn't try anything funny.

The king spent the whole day waiting for Angela to wake up, and as night fell he was starting to get worried.

"Wake up.... please" he gently moved away a lock of her hair, caressing her cheek "Please... i need to know you're ok... open your eyes" he softly called, causing her to stir a bit, slowly waking up.

He let out a sigh in relief, a smile forming on his lips.

"Techno?" she called unsure, he nodded, leaning over to kiss her forehead "It's me, you're safe. You did it" he placed his hand on her cheek "The others told me what happened, i'm proud of you" he frowned "But don't do it ever again" he scolded lightly, making her chuckle weakly.

"I don't plan to" she groaned, sitting up and holding her head "It felt like my head was about to explode" she mumbled, still feeling a bit dizzy, Techno noticed that she looked really concerned about something.

"What's wrong?" he softly asked, sitting next to her on the bed "It's just.... when... when i was in the void i... i heard... voices"

"Voices?" she nodded.

"They... told me many things... mostly about killing myself or overall dying but... some... actually helped me..." she remembered that among the cluster of screaming angry voices she heard some kind ones.

'Not that way!'

'On your right'

'Hide in there, you'll be safe'

'Focus, you can do it! We believe in you!'

'Go! Fight them! You are stronger than what you think!'

'Go Angela! It's just like flying but without wings!'

"They.... seemed to know about my past...they seemed to know me... but how?" she mumbled, looking down at her semi-transparent hands "How is it possible that some random voices from another dimension know more about me than myself?" Techno noticed that her voice was starting to waver a bit.

He scooted closer, pulling her in a hug, gingerly caressing her hair "It's ok, you don't have to go back there" he assured in a warm voice, she hugged him back.

"B-but how.... why.... it's not fair..." she tightened her grip "They know... they remember... why don't i? They knew i could fly, they told me how it felt when you fly... why... why can't i just... remember..." a few tears fell from her eyes.

It broke the king's heart to see the woman he loved suffer like that, he wished there was something he could do, that's when he remembered about the city and legend Skeppy told him about.

"There's..." he took a calming breath "There could be a way for you to remember... at least partially" she immediately piped up, releasing him from the hug and staring into his blue eyes.

"How?"

"There's a far away city in the desert, the people that live there worship a God that can bring life, a second life if someone as earned it" he smiled "And i think after all you've been through, you deserve another chance"

"But... how does it even-"

"I don't know, probably that Skeppy guy has more information than me, i can call him back if you want, we can get him to tell us more" she was very reluctant, not wanting to disturb him again after the whole void thing. Seeing her hesitation he decided to propose something else.

"How about this, we'll wait some time for you to adjust and then we'll ask, ok?" she nodded, feeling more comfortable with that solution.

But things were a bit different from that day on, she still heard those voices from time to time, they kept saying only two words.

'Find him'

Find who? Who where they? Who did they want her to find? And why?

Angela sighed, returning her focus on what she was currently doing, which was helping Puffy in making a cake, she often went to the kitchen to help, since she liked to stay around her, Puffy didn't mind the company, even though it came at the cost of some broken eggs and shattered plates.

"Thanks for the help Angela, i'm sure the king is gonna like the cake" she assured "Yeah, at least until he finds the egg shells in it" she said a bit annoyed, seeing that some feel inside the mixture due to her lack of experience.

"It's fine, i took out most of them, he won't even notice" she sighed "I really hope so"

Turns out he did in fact notice, there were some shells in the slice Techno ate, he was pissed at first but when Ranboo told him that Angela helped in making it he soon calmed down, she still apologized nonetheless, feeling quite embarrassed.

'Find him'

She sighed, not paying attention to the voices anymore, since they seemed to turn on randomly and whenever they felt like, it was starting to get annoying.

Later on that day Philza noticed that she was sitting on the balcony, just staring up at the sky, he went to sit next to her.

"You know, i made you an offer a while back, when you were still alive" he said with a smile, catching her attention "You refused at the time, but i'm going to propose it to you again. Do you want me to bring you up there?" he asked, hinting at the sky. She was a bit hesitant, pondering her answer for several minutes before meeting his gaze, nodding.

He stood up, offering his hand to her, she took it, assuming a physical form in order to allow Phil to take a hold on her. Phil wrapped his hands below her chest, getting a firm grip so to not risk on making her fall.

"Ready?" she gave him a shaky hum in response "Here we go" the elder Elythrian spread his wings, giving a few strong flaps and slowly taking off from the ground, gaining some altitude. Angela shot her eyes closed, scared to fall, but started to open them once she felt the breeze of the wind on her face.

It was a breathtaking sight, they were just above the clouds and she could see as far as her eyes allowed her to. She brought one hand down, grazing it on the clouds, loving their consistency, their coldness and the way they made her hand slightly frosty. A smile slowly started to make it's way on her features, it was a beautiful feeling and she loved it.

'Go'

'Open your wings'

'Fly'

Her body moved by itself, she spread her arms, feeling something on her back start to push, her sudden movement causing Philza to let go, resulting in her falling down at a fast pace.

"Angela!" he dived after her, panic flooding his face. Angela on the other hand was perfectly calm, her gaze was fixated on the ground below.

'You can do it'

'Just let go'

'Fly into the blue sky'

She closed her eyes, the ground was approaching at an alarming speed but she didn't care. She cleared her mind, isolating herself from the world around her, taking a deep breath, feeling her magic move from her core to her back, seemingly forming something.

"I want to fly.... at least one more time... i want to remember how it felt... please" she begged, reaching out into the darkness in her mind, surprised upon feeling someone take her hand, pulling her up.

She tried to look at the person who was helping her, it was another Elythrian, but she couldn't see their face, it was completely blurred out.

'You can do it' the person said, another one appearing next to them, helping Angela up.

'We will help you' and another one.

'We care about you' another one.

'We love you' the first one reached over, gently caressing her cheek 'We'll always be with you, even if you can't hear us... remember that we will always be here for you' they smiled, pulling her into a tight embrace.

"Who.... who are you?" it felt warm, the smell of flowers filled the air around her and she could hear their soft voice talking to her... it... they sounded.... familiar.

'It's ok, you'll remember one day. Until then, we will live on in you' they started to shine brightly, the light soon becoming too much, forcing Angela to close her eyes.

'In your wings'

She shot her eyes open, two large white wings appearing on her back, stopping her fall just a few hundred feet from the ground. She looked around, seeing a very shocked Philza behind her. Angela didn't want to think, so she just flew up, above the clouds and into the azure sky.

It felt amazing, her wings carried her everywhere she wanted, going as high as she wished to. She did some maneuvers, like loops and back-flips before starting to calm down, deciding to land back down, that's when she discovered a little problem. She didn't know how to land.

So Angela just roughly skidded in a nearby lake, Philza soon landing on the shore and helping her out, he was just as surprised as she was.

"I didn't know you could do that!" he said excitedly "N-neither did i!" she answered, opening her wings to inspect them, they were still feathery, but semi-transparent, just like her "I like them" she passed a hand over her wet feathers "I love them!" she spun around a few times.

"Phil i have wings! I can fly-I JUST FLEW!!" she shouted, excitedly bouncing around, making Phil giggle "Yeah you did, next time you decide to just drop down from the sky warn me, you almost gave me an heart attack" he scolded lightly, getting interrupted by the gallop of a horse approaching at a fast speed, soon resulting into Techno arriving to the scene.

"Angela are you ok!? I saw you fall an-" he stopped mid-sentence upon noticing her wings "Techno look! I have my wings again! I can fly again!" she said in a happy voice, going in to hug him, causing the king to fall backwards from how hard she tackled him.

"Wha-!? HEH!? How?!"

"I don't know but look!" she spread them wide, they were around Philza's size but whitish instead of black "Aren't they beautiful?" Techno didn't know how to process this, there was nothing on the books he read about a ghost 'sprouting' wings, but the second he saw her smile, the how didn't matter anymore.

She was happy, and that's all it mattered to him "Yeah..." he breathed out, gently taking her face, pulling her closer and into a soft kiss "Beautiful"
