Nova looked around at the two in front of them, both boys had worried looks on their faces as they heard their friend's voice...

"Who.. Who's Nova? Where..where am i?"

"Wh-what are you talking about? You're Nova, and you're on the prime path.. That's not funny" Tubbo replied, staring at the enby in disbelief.

"I'm sorry but I'm a little lost here... Is this supposed to be funny? What's a prime path?"

"Nova, this is really not funny! Stop messing with us!"

"I'm-i'm not messing with you.. I really don't understand.." Tommy and Tubbo took a small step back from Nova. "Are you guys okay..?"

"We should be asking you that.." Tommy said, looking towards Tubbo.

"Oh, well I think i'm alright.. My memories are a little hazy though... I don't really remember much besides my best friend" They smiled before finishing their sentence. "Dream! He's a great friend!" 

"D-dream..?" The blonde took a step back, hearing the words he once said from exile come out of Nova's mouth. 

"Yeah! He's great! At least...I think he is.. I..I don't fully remember.." The shorter brunette went down on his knees in front of they shorter ginger.

"Nova.. Dream is not your friend, he's a really really bad guy.. He's tried to kill you multiple times-"

"Nova!" From behind the two boys, a very tall man in a red cape (with the bi flag sewed underneath), a gray shirt, black jeans, black combat boots, and a golden crown came up to them, sitting next tp Tubbo. "Where did you go?! You just disappeared?!"

"Eret-"

"I'm sorry...Who are you..?" Nova interrupted Tubbo, staring at the older man.

"They..They forgot..?" He asked, looking at the younger boys who both nodded. 

"Did I know you guys..?" 

"Yeah you-you did... I-" Before Eret could continue he heard a chuckle, to the left of them stood the green man himself, Dream. 

"How did you get out of prison?!" Tommy yelled, obviously upset and scared.

"None of your business, Tommy. I'm not here to talk to you." He looked towards the reality traveler, sitting on the ground. "Hello Nova"

"Hello Dream!" They gave a small wave.

"Ready to go?"

"Go..? Go where?" Dream chuckled, extending his hand. 

"I can't tell you that, just trust me." Nova stood up, about to take his hand when Eret grabbed their other one. 

"Nova, don't do this. He's not a good person, he'll hurt you."

"Who do you trust more, Nova? Me, your best friend? Or these three you don't know?" The reality traveler looked between the two, seeing the worry on the three she didn't know, while Dream just had a calm smile. 

"I...I trust them.." They took a step back, pulling out their sword and standing next to Eret.

"You choose them over me?" The green man laughed, moving his mask to the side of his face. "You finally are being the hero you're supposed to be.. The protagonist you never wanted to be. Well Nova...you can finally play hero.. By dying like one." Dream pulled out a bow, aiming for a split second and firing at the reality traveler. Before anyone can try and stop these events, Nova was hit right in the stomach. Immediately falling to the ground, onto their back, their hands rested on the arrow. Eret quickly when on his hands and knees, placing a hand on their 

"Oh god.."

"D-dad i'm scared.." The bi king looked down at Nova, seeing the tears in their eyes. Even though they didn't remember him..they called him dad.

"It's-it's going to be okay.. Just hold on..." He looked up at Tommy and Tubbo, not know what to do. The two looked terrified as well, neither knowing how to help. "How many lives do they have left?"

"None... They only had one.." Tubbo answered, letting the tears loose. Slowly the enbys eyes began to close. 

"Nova, don't close your eyes.. Stay with me okay?" Slowly, their light blue eyes began to open, though it was hard, they were losing blood fast. "It's going to be okay-"

"I don't wanna die, dad..I-i don't.." Their eyes drifted close again, their skin becoming whiter than before. 

"Nova.. Nova please.. Nova!" Eret called out, begging for them to just open their eyes, but they never did.. He stared at his child's pale face, just remembering the happy smile that was always there.. "Tommy, Tubbo.. Take Nova's body to their home.."

"Wh-what?"

"Just do it, please." Both younger boys looked at each other before Tommy stepped forward picking up the 5'4 enby bridal style and quickly running off.

"Making them run off so they don't watch you die too?"

"No. I don't want them to watch me murder you.." The king looked down, taking off his glasses and sliding them into his back pocket, revealing his white eyes. 

Only a few chapters left, is Nova dead? Will Eret kill Dream? Why did Karl tell Nova to get out of their inbetween? Find out soon...
