There was a kingdom called the Kingdom of korakia, nicknamed the kingdom of crows. It was ruled by Phil Watson, or Philza for short, he was known as the crowfather. his oldest son, the crowned prince, was named Technoblade-or Alex-was a former slave due to his status as a piglin Hybrid, He was adopted by Philza, as was all of his children. His second son, Wilbur, was the charismatic prince, everybody loved him. As a boy, Wilbur was homeless, scraping the streets for money and food to get him by. His final son, Tommy, used to live with his abusive father and neglectful mother before Phil Saved him. For years, that was the whole family, including their mother, Kristen, nicknamed the Goddess of Death. 

That was until Kristen fell deeply ill with an incurable sickness, and passed away. The whole family was distraught by the death of the empress and became more distant over time. A while later, Prince Tommy found Ranboo, a slave, due to his status as a Enderman Hybrid. He picked him up and brought him to his home, as he felt bad. The whole family fell in love with Ranboo and adopted him as their own. Techno related to Ranboo and grew protective of him. Ranboo enjoyed listening to Wilbur's songs and Wilbur enjoyed playing for him. Phil saw bits of Kristen in Ranboo and wanted to keep him safe forever. Tommy enjoyed the presence of another boy his age. Everything seemed to be getting better. 

Until, Techno and Phil started spending most of their time with Ranboo, forgetting about Tommy. Tommy tried to talk to his family, to find out why they seemed to be forgetting about his existence. It seemed impossible to Tommy. His own family not remembering all the moments they had together, he didn't understand.

One day, during dinner, Ranboo fell to the floor. He coughed up blood and passed out. The medics rushed to the room upon Phil’s command and they found poison in his system. Everyone was upset and angry that somebody would poison Ranboo and they tried to find who did it, except they couldn’t find a culprit. So Philza, in an attempt to tame his rage, accused Tommy of poisoning Ranboo and sentenced him to death. He was to be executed the next evening in front of the whole kingdom and they locked him in his room until then.

Tommy was shocked that his father had blamed him, he didn’t do it, he would never! He was the one who found Ranboo. Not like anyone else cared about that. Tommy mourned his family. Mourned the love he used to feel, the warmth that filled the palace before his mothers death. Suddenly, Wilbur came into his room, Tommy was 16 years old when Wilbur requested for him to leave with him. 16 years old when he was about to get executed. Tommy didn't know what Wilbur was talking about, why he wanted to help him, but Wilbur was the only one who didn’t forget Tommy, didn’t leave Tommy alone. He trusted Wilbur so he decided to go with him. And they left to the Dream SMP, the darkest kingdom. And they asked to seek asylum there. Where they later built their own city together, l’manburg.

Wilbur and Tommy’s city wasn’t doing too well. They were constantly belittled and attacked. Wilbur needed independence to reach his life long goal of having his own kingdom. To be like his father. Wilbur needed something to make his dream come true, so he made a deal. He betrayed his baby brother. He made a deal which would anger Tommy. But it didn’t matter to Wilbur, it got his city independence after all. He could finally call l’manburg a nation and soon to be a kingdom. 

Tommy was oblivious to this though. He had no idea about the deal. Until two days after the deal was made, when it couldn’t be taken back. Knights came and took Tommy away. Took him to Emperor Dream’s palace. It was then explained to him that he was traded for independence. That his big brother had sold him. His big brother thought so little of him that he came Tommy to Dream for independence. 

Tommy had  a bitter taste in his mouth by the end of the explanation. He was Dreams property now. An object for Dream to do anything he wants with. Tommy was ready to cry, but he didn’t want to cry in front of Dream. He couldn’t! That was the moment Tommys life truly became the hell he had though he was living in.
