Swear Warning

Philza POV

4 Weeks ago

"Oh my god. I'm fucking stupid. I didn't have a chest plate. Why did I take the hit for Wilbur?"

"Philzaaaa," someone calls out. A beautiful woman's voice.

"Hello?" I ask.

"I've waited for this day. For you to die. So we can finally be together."

Out of the darkness materializes a woman. She has shoulder-length, wavy, black hair. She wears a black dress with a grey cloak over it. On her neck is a skull necklace.

"Hello Philza," she smiles warmly.

"How do you know my name?" I ask.

"It's forbidden for a goddess like me to fall in love with a mortal like you however, I felt something for you deep down. I watched you each day knowing that only when you died I would have a chance with you. Now that you're here I feel happier than I have ever felt before," the smile doesn't leave her face. "I'm Kristin, the Goddess of Death"

"Kristin, I need to go back to the mortal world. I sacrificed myself for my son and he's probably devastated."

"Sorry Phil but you belong to the Kingdom of Death now. You will rule with me by my side."

With that, I'm pulled towards her and sucked into a black void. We land in front of a black castle and all is quiet. Schlatt, Mexican Dream, and Ghostbur are walking around the area but they don't notice us.

Kristin sits on a throne and gestures for me to do the same on the throne beside her.

"Have you heard of the Book of Necromancy?" I ask.

"Yes, why?" she says surprised. "It's one of my many books and I lost it. Schlatt stole it and I punished him by bringing him here."

"Well, the book never left the Smp. Schlatt made a deal with someone called Dream who was given the revival book in exchange for an alliance."

"Ah Dream. My friend DreamXD's reincarnation as a humanoid figure. Dream may develop certain powers soon." Kristin taps her long fingernails on her chin.

"Dream has the book and knows how to use it, he's used it twice to revive people," I explain.

"So he's a fast learner. The incantations are very complicated and there's more in that book than revival, much more.," Kristin says, amused.

"I should speak with DreamXD on this and see what he has to say. Stay here and watch over the castle."

In a flash, she's gone.

Hours later she returns but says nothing. Days and weeks pass, she becomes busy and is hardly ever around. I wander around the castle for years until Kristin finally comes up to me one day.

"Something wrong?" she asks.

"I feel lonely and sad. All my friends are in the mortal world and I feel regret for their sadness."

Kristin looks at me sympathetically. She wants him to be hers but I'm not truly happy.

"Alright Phil," she says. "I'll revive you but only if you get a skull tattoo. The tattoo will act as a way for me to communicate to you in your mind while you are in the mortal world."

"Okay, deal," I quickly agree.

She places her hand under my shirt and on my heart where the tattoo forms. She opens a book and reads something but the words are disoriented. I fall through the ground and feel the chill of the north winds.

I'm suddenly standing in front of Techno's cabin. A figure stands in front of the door but when they turn it's not Techno, it's Y/N.

She looks at me in shock, then bangs on the door yelling for Techno and Dream. They walk out and she points at me.

Techno stares at me in shock and looks at Dream who shakes his head.

"Phil?!" Techno asks.

I smile. "Hey Techno."

He rushes to hug me and I'm caught up in his warm embrace.

"You're alive again!" he yelps through tears.

"Yeah but I don't know how. I spent 2 and a half years in death," I say.

"Dream did you bring him back?" Techno asks turning towards him.

"No, I didn't," Dream says. "We were just talking about this."

I notice a golden crown with green gemstones crown on Dream's head.

Is he king of the Smp now?

"Phil we should go inside," Y/N suggests.

The four of us go inside Techno's cabin and I find my spare netherite set in my ender chest.

"Catch me up," I say.

They all tell me the story after my death. The people voted for Dream, Dream's coronation as king, Tommy's failed assassination, and the knights.

"Wow," I say. "And it's only been 1 month. It was 2 and a half years for me."

"Time passes faster in limbo than here I guess," Dream says.

"Dad?" Wilbur stands at the top of the stairs, looking down at us.

"Wilbur."

I run and hug him tightly. I hear him crying and I shed tears myself. He's so happy I'm back, and so am I.

Philll.

I hear Kristin's voice in my head.

Yes Kristin?

Just wanted to see if this works.

It does, I'm reuniting with my friends and family right now.

Ok, I'll leave you to it but I'll talk to you tonight.

I feel her presence leave and she's gone.

I focus on hugging Will again until he pulls away.

"Dream, did you revive him?"

"No, I didn't," Dream insists. "Somehow he was revived."

"I don't know either," I lie. "But the important thing is that I'm back and I can spend time with you guys again."

Wilbur walks back upstairs to the bedroom and I follow. I hear Dream ask Techno if he wants to be a knight for the kingdom but he politely declined to say he's much happier living a peaceful life here in the North but promises to visit the village often.

I lie down in bed and Kristin reappears in my head.

You didn't tell them, did you?

No, I just said I had no idea.

Good. I already miss you Phil.

I kind of miss you too. But I feel more complete now that Wilbur and Techno are here. Thank you for reviving me.

You're welcome. I hope you die again so you'll be with me forever.

Haha, I hope I don't die. It'll be more pain for others than me. I just wanted to save Wilbur from the pain of dying again.

You're such a good person Phil. That's why I love you.

What?!

But she's already gone. I sit there confused about how a goddess could love me.
