Chapter Text
Fundy had been working on a small redstone contraption when the letter came. Phil opened the door to his study, “Fundy?” Phil called. “Right here Phil!” Fundy dusted his hands off on his apron. Phil walked over to Fundy’s workstation, a small envelope in hand, bumping Fundy’s hand with his own. Fundy took off his leather apron, looking at Phil quizzically. “It’s from Techno, don’t worry, mate, I haven’t even peeked into it.” Phill assured. “Read it please?” Fundy asked, as he heard the tearing of Phil opening the letter.
“Fundy,
My deepest apologies for leaving so suddenly, Tommy had called for me, as it stands now, I am currently working with Tommy and Wilbur in preparation for a war. From what I gather, They have both been forced out of their land by a governmental power and have holed themselves in a place named ‘Pogtopia’. I have been tasked in getting them the armor and weapons, however despite them winning a war in passing, they are ill-equipped for this war. We are going against Dream and his goons, as much of a rivalry as me and the masked man have, I once promised Tommy that I would be there in a time of need. I call for you, as we are underhanded, the people that have joined from what I can tell, have very little experience with weapons and fighting in general. Prime knows that Tommy would want to see you again.
-Your uncle and mentor
Technoblade”
Fundy felt his ears straighten more, and heard the ruffle of Phil’s wings. “Fundy, are you sure you want to go? I mean with your whole…” The avian trailed off. “I’ll be fine Phil, don’t worry” It was Fundy’s turn to assure the man, he felt his hand ghost over the bandages over his eyes. “You’re going to get far beyond ancient if you keep worrying yourself, old man.” Fundy teased, as Phil began to squawk his protests, Fundy was already nearing the door. “ ‘Bit odd that he called me to help instead of you, eh Phil?” Fundy asked as he heard Phil’s footsteps following close behind. “I’m sure you’ll do alright there, besides, Wil probably wouldn’t want to see his old man right now. The last thing he’d need is a mother hen” Phil said, Fundy felt his wing spread out around him when they got outside. “Someone needs to take care of the castle ‘round here” Phil said, Fundy heard the whooping sounds of the portal, almost too loudly, “Guess your right, old man.” Fundy agreed, as the two stepped into the portal.
When they exited the portal, Fundy had swayed a bit on his feet, a bout of nausea coming over him, leaving as soon as it started. “You alright mate?” Phil asked. Fundy nodded as he heard the chatter of the Hub, a place where all servers are connected. Fundy had been here many times throughout his life, however he hasn’t been here as much as Techno and Phil have. When he was 10 he finally got Techno to sneak him out of their home server and into Hypixel, Fundy was told very strictly that he, under no circumstances, could join the games, so for a couple months Fundy just watched Techno’s games.
He was entranced by how Techno had moved through the craze of opponents, His uncles movements were precise and graceful. After that he had begged Techno to teach him how to fight, and after weeks of 11 year old Fundy asking every hour of every day, Techno finally caved in, and taught him how to hold a sword, though Fundy’s hand’s were a bit too small for the training swords, he handled them well. After a couple of months training, Fundy snuck into a game himself.
Fundy had snuck off when Techno was playing Bedwars. He lied about his age, but since employees didn’t really care about how old one was, he was let into a game of Skywars. He hadn’t won the first time he tried, and believe him, he did try. But after he respawned back the main lobby, he had seen Techno waiting for him there, he got a heavy lecture from Phil about fighting in the games but he still continued to. The first time he won a game, he was so proud he had told Techno right after, very excited. He beamed when Techno hugged him and told him that he ‘did a good job for a runt’ to which Fundy replied by almost biting him.
After that was the incident, Fundy had been playing a skywars game, it had been going well, too. However after the third round things took a turn for the worse, first Fundy had missed a critical hit on one of the older opponents, after that he stumbled into another person, and when he turned around, he was hit with an axe, When he’s in warm weather he can still feel the blade piercing the skin between his eyes, and eventually his eyes as well. When he respawned he was scared, he couldn’t see anything. He cried until he heard Techno and Phil. When he got home he was on bedrest for a while, until he came to Techno one day and asked him to keep sparring with him, after nearly a year of practice, now 15 year old Fundy was able to at least land a hit on Techno when the pink haired man wasn’t holding anything back.
Fundy hadn’t been to Hypixel since, but he hoped Simon wouldn’t mind. He was snapped back to reality when he heard Phil finish his sentence. “Repeat that please?” Fundy asked, as his tail flicked nervously. “I said that we were at the portal to the uh…” He heard Phil shuffle. “DreamSMP? It’s a private server, so this is goodbye, make sure to tell Techno to write though!” Phil said he heard clothes rustle and small gusts of wind, so he waved back in the direction of the older man. “Will do, old man.” He stepped through the portal.
