~(With Phil and Techno)~
So far it'd been clear sailing. But this road was very reclusive aside from the occasional traveling salesmen and a few hunters. Techno had kept a low profile and wore Phil's cloak over his head whenever he heard someone. Speaking of Phil he was doing surprisingly well he kept to the cover of clouds whenever he saw someone and his wing was mostly healed, but something Techno had noticed was whenever it was safe or whenever they set up for the night Phil would come and either glide close to him or protectively put his wing over him. Not that Techno didn't like it. He was just happy to Phil acting like himself. Phil couldn't help but stay as close to Techno as possible he felt immensely protective over the pink child, yes he realized Techno wasn't a child but Techno was HIS child. But all the same, he felt like something or someone was missing still. Maybe more than one someone? It was very aggravating. But for now, he would make sure his son was safe. Phil was flying close to Techno as they followed a nearly invisible path. When Techno pulled to a stop.
Let's take a break for a second night rider's thirsty. Techno said unmounting and patting the poor boy's throat.
They had been riding almost none stop except for a few much-needed breaks for night rider and Phil. Techno lead night rider to a river in a small clearing nearby and let the horse lay down for a bit and enjoy himself. Phil drank some water and sat down next to Techno, who had busied himself by sharpening his ax. Phil sat down next to Techno and poked at his bag.
Not for you. Techno told him slightly amused.
Mine! Phil cawed suddenly determined to have the bag.
Techno let go of the bag and stared at Phil in amazement, it sounded deeper sure but that was Phil's voice. Phil shook the bag for a second before its contents spilled out. Phil used his beak to pick through things while Techno watched closely. Phil picked up a brand new sword sharpener and happily plopped it at Techno's feet. And went back to sorting through everything putting the shiny things in a pile. Techno picked up the sword sharpener and gasped, this was an obsidian sword sharper! They were super rare and super expensive it must have cost Phil a fortune. Techno smiled, walked over, and hugged Phil's feathery chest. Phil pat his head with the bottom of his beak and went back to toying with Fundys emerald. Phil felt very proud of himself. He'd made Techno happy! He couldn't put his talon on why he knew the black rock thingy was for Techno but it made him happy that Techno was enjoying it and vigorously rubbing it against his knife. Techno examined his handy work. This knife was definitely sharper than ever.
You should stab someone.
Blacksmith Techno cannon?
Dumb ass. Just cause he sharpens a sword doesn't mean he's a blacksmith.
GKGLFHDKSJGILRILSRUIGH.
Stab Phil!
All of the voices screamed no at that.
PROTECT BIRD FATHER.
SCREW YOU!
HUNTER LOVER!
BIRDZA IS INNOCENT.
I'll stab you. Techno muttered to the voice.
Night rider clopped over and nudged Techno letting him know he was ready to go. Alright now to get that stuff back in the bag. Techno said standing up and sighing at Phil who was guarding the items. After 10 minutes of angry squawks and caws and a few gentle pecks, Techno finally had everything back in Phil's bag. Phil was sulking a bit but was ready to go. Alright, let's go. Techno said. Phil gave a few strong flaps that shook the trees around him and launched into the air. Techno riding night rider started walking along the road leading the way back home. They had been walking for a couple of hours. And Phil was happily soaring through the air, he loved the feeling of the wind blowing against his feathers it was so peaceful. Yet he felt like he hadn't done this in a while. There was someone he used to go flying with a lot… Kristin that was her name. It was like a ton of bricks had hit him all at once as he crashed to the ground.
PHIL! Techno screamed.
Phil had just plunged to the ground with no warning at all. Techno jumped off of night rider and bolted over to him. He wasn't moving, he was breathing heavily though. Techno looked Phil over, he couldn't see any injuries but that didn't stop him from panicking. He had to get Phil off the road. He was completely screwed if any hunters or travelers came by.
Phil!
Phil!
Phil please you need to get up…
Phil…..
Phil…...
PHIL! Phil's eyes shot open.
He looked around. There was an oak wood nightstand to his left and a double dresser against the wall and his annoyed wife looking down at him.
I told you not to stay up all night reading. She said.
C'mon Kristin it's been forever since we've had any new information about dreamons! Phil told her with a smile.
Supposedly dreamons with royal blood can control other dreamons! Even half breeds! Phil said with too much excitement for someone who just woke up.
Kristin smiled at his excitement. Phil loved reading about legends, lost civilizations, and prophecies. That made sense saying as he was a walking prophecy.
Out of bed you lazy bird, you said you'd go flying with me! Kristin said pulling the blonde out of their bed.
Phil stood up and sighed. He had promised. He always felt nervous when it came to flying not cause he wasn't good at it, quite the opposite, but because everyone was hunting him down. Even other avians were hunting him. Just because of that stupid prophecy! He hadn't done anything wrong! All he did was exist! Kristin kissed his cheek.
You're making the face again, if you really don't want to go flying we don't have to. She reassured him.
Phil smiled and kissed her back. No, it's fine just got lost in my thought process.
Apparently, he made a face when he was thinking about something really hard. Kristin was his recently married girlfriend. And she was an absolute angel. She loved Phil for who he was and defended him no matter what, she also was very good at magic. They had first met when they were kids he had been 6 and she was 7 he had just broken out of his window and was about to explore when she interrupted.
Ehem. She had said coming over and rudely poking him.
Phil had bitten his lip and given a weak, yes?
Do your parents know your out here? She had asked with a bit of sass.
Now, mind you Phil wasn't weak. He was pretty strong for a pasty white kid in need of more vitamin D. But this girl made him feel weak.
N-no… He stuttered out with a guilty look.
The girl gave him a sympathetic look.
Relax I'm just playing with you c'mon I know a really good hiding spot. She had said grabbing his hand and pulling him into the woods.
They finally got to the spot and it was gorgeous! There were lots of flowers everywhere and plenty of room to practice flying it even a mushroom tree!
Cool right? I'm Kristin by the way. She said sitting down against a fallen tree.
I'm Phil. He said smiling and sitting by her.
Now tell me why you were escaping out your window. She said with a kind smile.
And least to say Phil told her everything. About the prophecy, about how his parents kept him inside, how he became good at building things, and even about his parents fighting over what to do with him. His dad wanted to send him to school and raise him normally but his mom wouldn't ever let him out of her sight.
And that's my story. He said with a final breath.
Cool. She said with a satisfied smile.
You're not scared of me? He asked nervously.
No, why would I be? She responded with a laugh.
Phil just smiled and laid down to watch the clouds with her. The rest was history.
Ready to go? His wife asked excitedly.
Yep! He said grabbing his hat.
Phil? She asked.
Yeah? He responded.
Take care of our kids. She said with a sad smile.
Kristian? Phil asked.
Everything around him warped into blackness and he heard yelling.
PHIL!
PHIL PLEASE YOU HAVE TO-
UGH!
WAKE UP!
Phil's eyes shot open. He was immediately greeted by the sight of a hunter wrapping rope around his beak, and his son being pinned to the ground.
PHIL! RUN! FLY GET OUT OF HERE! Techno screamed desperately.
He had been trying to move Phil for an hour or two when night had fallen and not four, not five, but SIX hunting parties, with 30 men and women a group, had come across them. But Techno hadn't gone down without a fight he'd killed almost 90 of their soldiers and honestly if he hadn't been trying to protect Phil he most likely would have been able to kill them all. Phil launched himself off the ground with a massive caw. He violently smashed his head into a couple of hunters, and flapped his wings hard, throwing everything off balance. With his captors being thrown off him Techno leaped up, grabbed his stolen ax, and brought it down hard on a hunter's head, cutting it clean off. Techno quickly killed everyone that tried to grab him or fight him while Phil used his talons to crush and claw people. After less than 10 minutes of fighting Techno Phil and the animals were the only ones left standing. Phil quickly hopped over to his son and looked him over, he looked okay at peace even.
Are you okay? Techno asked wiping the blood on his hands off on his brown pants.
Phil gave an annoyed look before nudging Techno towards some grass. Techno gladly sat down. Phil sat as close as he could and continued to look Techno over nudging and gently pushing his beak against Techno's arms and legs.
Seriously dad I'm fine. Techno said with a sweet smile.
But are you okay? You just fell out of the sky with no warning. Techno said looking at him.
Phil gave a kind of bird shrug. He wasn't sure what happened, he wondered what Kristian meant by kids if they had kids Techno was definitely one of them. How many kids did he have? Were they all like Techno? Pink and violent? Also, he was fairly sure he hadn't always been a bird. Phil would have to work it out later for now they needed to leave those bodies were starting to smell. He gently nudged Techno.
Yeah, we should go. Techno agreed.
Techno grabbed his ax hooked it back to his back, re-sheathed his sword and knife, as one does, and climbed on night rider who was a little spooked but just wanted to leave. Phil took a few flaps and was in the air. And Techno led them into the dark away from the slaughter.
*Sprinkles Dream and Ranboo head cannons* No one will even notice.
