It has been almost a month since Dream, Sapnap and Abby left for the city of Orior, Skeppy knew it was really far away, so he estimated that they probably arrived about a week ago since they were traveling by foot.
"Is it really that far?" Angela asked "Have you ever seen a desert nearby? We are surrounded by oceans and flourishing lands" Skeppy answered sarcastically, making her roll her eyes.
"Whatever, are you ok there Ranboo?" ever since they found out what Ranboo could do they had been teleporting people back from the void dimension to the overworld, moving their souls into specially crafted puppets, since their bodies couldn't last in there.
They had managed to save almost a hundred people, but Angela noticed that it was very tiring for Ranboo to teleport in and out of that dimension and then move the soul, so they managed to do only about three people per day.
"I'm ok" he panted out "I think that's enough for today" Bad said happly, patting his shoulder to cheer him up "Nice work Ranboo" he smiled "T-thanks"
Skeppy placed a hand on Angela's shoulder "Can we talk?" the seriousness in his voice alerting her, she nodded, following him into the forest and out of earshot "This isn't going to work" he said firmly.
"What? Why?"
"Angela they have hundreds of thousands of souls trapped there, and they take more everyday, we are never going to outrun them at this rate"
"I know that, just give him time, i'm sure that he'll get better, his powers will improve and will soon be able to carry more people out" Skeppy sighed "You're missing the point here" Angela looked at him confusedly.
"For now they didn't do anything because we have been taking only a little amount of souls, small quantities, so they didn't notice us yet... but..." her eyes widened upon realization "They'll fight back once they discover what we are doing..." he nodded.
"Then... what should we do? We can't just stop now that we finally found a way to save them!" Skeppy stayed silent for several seconds before speaking again.
"If we can take down Eret, who has the strongest connection with the void, then we could be able to convince the others to change sides and help us, together we could defeat the void"
There was an eerie silence for several seconds before anyone spoke again.
"Skeppy... i... how do you even plan on defeating him? He's one of the elders, he's stronger than me, he's stronger than Abby! And Abby is the strongest among us" he sighed.

"I know that" he smiled "I've got an idea about it, it is a terrible one but i've got it" she snickered "Better than nothing. Let's hear it then"

"You want to go to Orior?" she nodded "Why the sudden change of mind?" Techno asked, quite surprised that she was the one who brought it up in the first place. He was so surprised that he almost dropped the fork he was holding.
"I want to be revived, and besides" she placed her chin on her hand, looking at him seductively "I can't become your queen if i'm a ghost now can i?" he blushed a bit, clearing his throat awkwardly.
"V-very well, i'll arrange a trip for us to go there" she chuckled, it was so easy to make him flustered once she got to know him better. Of course, Angela had other reasons for wanting to go there, aside from getting revived, but she wasn't really hoping too much into it, seeing that from what Skeppy told her, it's pretty rare for Foolish to grant two wishes.
'I'm sorry... i don't want to lie to you... but you'll never let me do this if you knew what i really wanted to do'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a few days, the king, alongside a good handful of men, left the castle, heading towards the distant city of Orior, they brought Skeppy and Bad along of course, since he was the one with all the informations, Bad just wanted to come because he didn't want to be left alone at home.
Ranboo was there too, in quality of messenger, since he could teleport back to the castle in a matter of seconds, so it was very useful in case something happened. They traveled by carriage, arriving about a week later.
Angela was shocked upon seeing the desert and the city that was surrounded by it. It looked like it was entirely made of gold, but she guessed it was just an optical effect of the sun and sand, nevertheless, it was a breathtaking view.
They made their way in, asking the people around where the temple was, and soon heading there. They ran into a group of Nagas, who stopped them right before they could enter.
"Halt, state your business" one of them demanded, they were the keepers of Foolish's temple, an ancient race of snake-like magical creatures, their skin was a dull shade of brown, which blended in perfectly with the environment around them, if it wasn't for their white belly Angela almost wouldn't be able to see them.

"We came here to see the God Foolish, my king has a request for him" Phil politely stated, the two Nagas looked at each other, nodding and allowing them to pass "Don't try anything funny, if you steal anything we'll have your head" they warned, receiving a nod from Philza.
"I'll have yours first" Techno muttered under his breath, not liking their tone.
They soon got off the carriage, getting greeted by what looked like a higher up ranking Naga, since she was wearing an all white priestess outfit, which made her stand out among the rest of the Nagas.
"Welcome travelers, i believe some introductions are in order here, i'm Rasha, high priestess and keeper of this temple" she offered Techno her hand and he took it, giving it a small kiss.
"Pleasure meeting you, i'm king Technoblade, of the Antarctic empire" he looked at his side "And this is Angela" she smiled, bowing down a bit, receiving a nod from her.
"Ahh yes, Foolish has been expecting you" her words surprised her "H-has he?" she nodded "He started to wonder when will you have come visit him" she turned around "Come, i'll take you to him"
'Well that was easy' she thought, her and Techno starting to follow Rasha, soon getting stopped at the entrance "Not you, only her"
"What?! No, i'm coming with! There's no way i'm-" she grabbed his arm, catching his attention "It's fine, i'm a ghost remember? I'll be fine. Just wait here, i'll be back soon" she gave him a small kiss, resuming her walking, leaving behind a very worried Techno.
The two walked inside the temple, it looked big from the outside but even more from the inside. Rasha guided her into an empty room with a large statue of what looked like a mixture between a shark and a golden totem, which was sitting on a large golden throne.
"I'll leave you two alone" Rasha said, bowing down and quickly taking her leave, Angela looked back at the statue, what was she supposed to do? Pray? Call his name?
"Uhm... Miste... Lord Foolish... i-i have a request f-for you... would you mind listening t-to it?" she stuttered out, feeling very nervous, even though she was a ghost, a God would and could probably still manage to harm her in some way, so she'd better be careful with her words with him.
After a few minutes of silence, the statue moved, adjusting his position.
'That wasn't a statue?!'
Turns out that was the real Foolish, Angela was quite confused, Skeppy told her that the Nagas often saw him in a more humanoid size, so why was he so big?
"ᓭ!¡ᒷᔑꖌ" Angela jumped, she couldn't understand what he was saying, but she guessed it was ok for her to talk, since he didn't say anything else after.
"I-i uhm.... i want to put an end to this... to the war between our worlds... i... we have a plan... if we can separate the elders from the void and bring them here, then the void himself will come to get them" she lifted her gaze "T-that's when you come in... i ask you... i beg you... help us destroy that evil creature... before he can destroy us and everything we care about"
The room fell silent for several minutes before Foolish stood up, shrinking down until he was her same height, walking closer.
"ᔑ∷ᒷ ||𝙹⚍ ᓭ⚍∷ᒷ ╎ᓭ ℸ ̣ ⍑╎ᓭ ∴⍑ᔑℸ ̣ ||𝙹⚍ ∴ᔑリℸ ̣ ?" he asked, walking in circles around her.
"P-pardon?"
"↸𝙹リ'ℸ ̣ ||𝙹⚍ ∴ᔑリℸ ̣ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ʖᒷ ∷ᒷ⍊╎⍊ᒷ↸? ꖎ╎⍊ᒷ ∴╎ℸ ̣ ⍑ ||𝙹⚍∷ ꖌ╎リ⊣? ʖᒷ ⍑╎ᓭ ᑑ⚍ᒷᒷリ?"
"I-i don-"

"Lord Foolish!" she shouted, surprising him and causing him to stop "I can't understand what you are saying!" she yelled out, immediately realizing that she raised her voice in front of a God "I-i'm sorry i-i-i didn't mean t-to-" Foolish snickered, taken aback from her bravery to speak up to him like that.
"My apologies, sometimes i forget that only the Nagas understand this ancient language" he said with a smile "I was asking you why are you doing this? I can grant your wish, for i as well want this conflict to end. But you only get one, you won't be able to come back to life if you use it like that" she nodded, looking down at her medallion, a sad smile forming on her lips.
"It's ok, as long as i can stay with my king, i'm happy" she lifted her gaze "Please, help me... help us put an end to this meaningless war once and for all" he sighed, putting on a small smile "Very well, tell me your plan"

'Speak'
'Are you sure is this what you want?'
'Don't you want to be revived? Live with your king? Be his queen?'
'Why are you giving it all away for a war that is not yours to fight?'

8 869Manipulation
Kelly really didn't want to go first. It didn't seem fair, Anne had four extra years to come to terms with herself surely she could be the one to test the waters? Well, perhaps she just needs a nudge? Or perhaps an accidental mention in a document no one is meant to read? Something her mum might happen to find? A companion book to Instrumental, can be read as its own story but I think really works best after reading the first book.

Not everyone is attracted to a pretty face. Maybe the reason why he fools everyone is maybe he wanted to get them back. Or he was just... scared. And never wanted to love anyone, ever again.
