The tiny, glimmering square stars shone over Hunter and Ranboo as they made their way to the arctic. The moon's silver blades sliced the wooden path. Hunter made sure he steered clear of the white knife shadows. Ranboo obviously didn't care and strolled through them. They came to a vast ocean. Why were they crossing an ocean? Weren't they trying to get to the arctic? Ranboo placed down an acacia boat. He hopped into the driver's seat and turned to Hunter.

"jump into the passenger seat and we should arrive at our destination shortly," Ranboo ventured. Hunter nodded, clicking on the boat. Ranboo then sped away, the boat going nearly 100 miles an hour. In that time, Hunter looked out into the ocean. The scenic view Hunter absolutely adored. As they came near to the arctic shore, Hunter spotted the ginormous Blackstone box.

"Pandora's vault," said Ranboo, not stopping to look at the colossal masterpiece.

"Who is in the vault?" Hunter asked reluctantly. He was scared Ranboo would tell him something that if you stuffed up with The Syndicate, you would be put in the prison.

"Dream." Said Ranboo hesitantly. He didn't want Hunter getting ideas.

Hunter's heart stopped. What? But Dream had come to welcome him? Had he escaped? If so, why wasn't anyone capturing him and putting him back?

"But he's on a 'prison suspension' which means he gets 2 weeks of freedom to build something or gather resources before he's put back in the vault and stripped of all his items."

Ohh! Now it all made sense! Hunter marvelled at the huge well-guarded prison before they made it to the shore of the Arctic.

Ranboo broke the boat, forcing Hunter to hop out into the icy waters of the arctic. Hunter didn't want to show weakness, so he heaved inside, trying not to let out a groan. Ranboo smiled.

"Haha its ok Hunter. The water is freezing. You can scream if you want,"

Hunter let out a hysterical groan in agony. Ranboo laughed.

They started to push through the arctic. The snow fell rapidly, hitting Hunter's padded suit skin. He couldn't see 5 meters in front of him. It was terrifying in a way that he might trip and fall into a cave or potentially come across a clan of strays. Then Hunter saw a dark figure standing in the cold arctic weather.

"Ranboo? Who is that?"

Ranboo smiled. "Let's go find out!"

Hunter, puzzled and curious, started to push harder through the thick 3-foot layer of snow on the ground. His curiosity powered his adrenaline and as he made it about a couple meters away, he knew who the figure was.

Technoblade.
