**Ranboo's POV**

I stare off into the endless void and listen to the loud screeching of enderman in the distance. This is all I've been listening to for years. I lost track of the days.

I miss them...

My child, Michael. I miss him the most. He didn't deserve his fate. I can only hope that his eternity is not like mine.

It's interesting being here. I know this is 'The End', my home, I never thought I'd actually end up here. DreamXD was pretty adamant in making sure no one came here. Now I am forced to spend the rest of my days here, as a dead man. As a murderer.

I have a very small area, seemingly floating in the air, far away from an island or anything for that matter. I am alone and I have nothing but the distant sound of screams. I feel my home just outside my reach, where I came from, it's so close yet so far. I have been here for 6 years. This must be what Wilbur meant when he explained what death was like, an endless and eternal suffering, forever stuck with your thoughts.

I thought death would make me feel better about what I had done to them. I felt that I deserved to be punished. Is this my punishment? To forever be reminded of his dead body in my arms?

"Michael I'm sorry!!! You didn't deserve it!!! I would have traded my life to get you back!" I yell loudly. The tears are flowing now and burning my skin. I don't care. I deserve it.

The only good thing about my exile is that I have a book to write in. When the book fills up I have to jump into the void. And when I wake up again, the book is empty and I get to continue writing. I've only jumped into the void 4 times. The first time was an escape attempt. I thought I'd wake up somewhere else, but instead my mind flooded with terrible memories of my son's murder as I re-experienced my death.

The 2nd time was an accident. The 3rd and 4th were to get a new book. Every time I jump, the pain of my death is amplified. The memories and the pain can never leave my mind. I still have the scars.

*6 years ago*

"Michael, breakfast!" Michael came running down the stairs of the mansion with his stuffed animal and I couldn't help but smile. "Wow you were really hungry hey?" I heard Tubbo say as he helped Michael onto his high chair.

Michael gave a quick oink and said, "you said dad was making pancakes and dad makes the best pancakes." I smile as I give him a chicken shaped pancake, "and don't you ever forget it!" I give him a quick kiss on the head as he starts eating.

Tubbo comes in the kitchen and helps me clean up before we start eating. "Will you be working with Jack again today?" I ask him.

"Yeah, sorry boo, we are so close to finding this thing I know it!"

"I know bee, Snowchester comes first. You have to find that nuke and make sure no one gets hurt."

"Eh it's not like anyone could activate it, they'll never find my activation key, not even Jack knows about the secret vault." He says nonchalantly.

"I know, but it's still dangerous. It's okay though I know you'll find it."

"Thanks boo." He smiles. "Okay I have to head out. Be good for dad okay Michael?"

"Okay daddy!!" Tubbo gives him a quick kiss, "I love you kid." He grabs a pancake and yells a quick "I love you" before heading out the door.
