Chapter 19: Chapter 17
Techno opened his eyes to see himself in his cabin along with Kiyohime at his side. Kiyohime immediately started bouncing around and looked for Techno's room.
Techno went to the living room as he saw a man his hight with a green hoodie as he wore a mask with a smiley face.
"Your Dream I presume?"
Dream nodded his head as he introduced himself to Techno. Itachi also came and introduced himself as they sat around telling stories.
Even though he smiled and listened intently, he felt empty.
Simply emptiness.
He had to put a happy facade so that they wouldn't worry about him. He didn't know what to wish for cause he was empty, he didn't have any desires as if he was simply a puppet on strings being made to play through a story for amusement.
He was simply a hollow shell.

Kiyohime looked at Techno's room. It was completely barren except for his crown and his clothes. Tears swelled up as the room was said to reflect a person's personality and emotional state.
Kiyohime calmed down as she tried to find anything, anything that could possibly make her master smile sincerely. The room simply confirmed her suspicions, he was simply putting up a happy facade as everything he did was hollow, empty, without will. Yet when he saved her twice there was a spark of will, the spark of wanting to do something.
~~~~
Techno returned to his room as his face melted into one of apathy. He wondered what was next, so far he had to save a place from a dragon, destroy a curse inside a holy grail and got a beautiful servant? Yet he didn't know what was coming next.
His life felt exactly like the scenarios that happened on the apocalypse world with the white furry hairball.
Yet it was different at the same time.
Techno just decided to put his thoughts away as he laid on his bed waiting for sleep to take him away.
Techno felt another person in his bed as he turned around and was faced with Kiyohime, whose face became crimson red. Techno however was still empty as he turned back.
Kiyohime calmed down as she needed to capture her master's affection. It pained her to see his hollow face after he took of his happy facade.

Before:
Itachi explained to Dream about Kiyohime as they both were in on Operation: Techno-Hime ship. Kiyohime walked in just as they agreed on it while she asked "Where do I sleep?" Dream's brain whirled as he started thinking with his 500iq. His brain came to the fastest conclusion within a split second.
"There's no more rooms, just sleep with Techno. Don't worry we got your back!"
Dream flashed a thumbs up as he adjusted his mask on the side of his head. Kiyohime smiled as she pranced over to Techno's room.
Which is how we arrived at now.
~~~~
Techno woke up early after a confusing dream the very next day to find a pair of arms wrapped around him, he didn't mind at all yet somehow he felt something? Something happy? Maybe he was just happy that there was someone there to comfort him?
Techno sighed as he attempted to fall back to sleep.
~~~~
Darkness, darkness everywhere. He ran and ran, yet he was always dragged back to where he was by red strings. They were attached to every limb as they made him walk while forcing him to look back every few seconds. Yet instead of monsters and beasts there laid people fallen on the bloody path that he was forced to walk. He didn't count yet he instinctively knew that the body count was 116,160.
He fought the urge to vomit as he tried to look away from the bloody trail, yet the strings remained unyielding as if his head was stuck in time.
He started panicking as all the bodies turned into blood as they gathered in one spot before a silhouette of blood was formed. A voice rang out.
"Just accept it, this is your future."
"Who you're meant to be."
"You always will forever be The Blade."
"Unlike Wilbur, this was Always. Meant. To. Be."
Techno grew confused as he didn't know anyone called Wilbur.
The silhouette came closer as Techno started struggling even more.
"tec"
The silhouette inched closer as the bottom of the silhouette started to reveal.
"Tech"
The silhouette reached out its hand as if trying to grab Techno's heart.
"TECHNO!"
Techno jolted awake as he saw Kiyohime trembling with tears while Itachi and Dream where pressing onto his arms. Techno wiped his forehead as he realised that he must've had nightmare.
"What happened?"
Techno asked with a croaky voice. Dream was the first to respond.
"Kiyohime shouted for us as you started moving your head as if trying to look away from something. Soon after we got here you started trembling and started thrashing your body around as if you were struggling against something."
Itachi whispered.
"Must've been a really bad nightmare."
Techno nodded as his voice came out all croaky.
"It was my worst fear that would come to realisation."
Techno simply slumped as he thought about his nightmare as Kiyohime hugged him with tears streaming through her eyes.
While the servant contract was broken the moment she got a physical body, she saw a glimpse of the dream that Techno had.
No wonder it was his worst fear.
The fear that he would become nothing more than a tool. A blade made for the sole purpose of being used to murder.
She saw the road behind Techno as the numerous bodies littered the bloody path he was forced to walk.
That was when Kiyohime understood Techno.
He wanted to be something else.
Something other than "The Blade"
