Chapter 31: The treaty

Tia's POV

Ridgedog's jaw drops open with a loud pop. I grin at him and Deamon raises his eyebrow. He stands in stunned silence for a moment, staring at me. Then he opens his mouth.

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!" he yells, a large grin on his face. I laugh as he runs to me, jumping up and down and bouncing around like a little kid before wrapping his arms tightly round my neck till I begin to choke. I laugh weakly, prising his arms off my neck, coughing a little. "Ri-" "I'M A DAD, I'M A DAD, I'M A DAD!" he shouts, bouncing up and down before flying in a cartwheel. I laugh and I pull him in for a hug. He hugs me back fiercely, peppering me furiously with kisses on my neck and cheek. "Alright lovebirds. Before you get settled, we need to sort out this problem with Sky and Team Crafted first. You never know, they might attack again." Deamon chuckles, watching Ridge dance around me. 

"Way to ruin the mood" I grumble, but grin at him. He grins back. Ridgedog grins wider than both of our grins put together. Seriously, I didn't think it was natural for a person to grin that widely. Deamon sets off first, ruffling my hair up, before jetting off into the forest. I begin to follow him until Ridge cups my face in his hands. "What's up?" I smile, noting the sudden seriousness in his eyes. "You wouldn't think, that after everything I did to you before, that it would be like this now," he says, smiling at me before continuing, "I mean, it was only a month ago that you were my apprentice and I hardly ever payed attention to you. Now we're going to start a family. But keep in mind you are still my apprentice." He winks at me and I roll my eyes. 

"I just brought you back from the dead. You could be a little more grateful instead of already beginning to order me around." I sigh but I grin. He was right. He was still my master and I was still his apprentice. "Yeah, I know. That's why I'm promoting you." I frown at him-promoting me? "To what?" I ask. "Will you be my partner in crime?" he asks, looking at me hopefully with a cheeky smile. "What could possibly go wrong with that?" I sigh, but I grin and nod, wrapping my arms around his neck. "Love you Ridge." I murmur, kissing his neck. He leans softly towards me. "Love you too, partner." he smiles, and we fly through the forest hand in hand.

Liam's POV

The Team Crafted meeting was in progress with Deadlox sat as the next in line as the king at the top. Mitch and Jerome had been talking non stop and even though I was glad he had finally found his buddy again, I was feeling a little left out. He would dedicate all his time to his partner, and not to me, his apprentice. They hug tightly and a flicker of jealousy rises within me. I shouldn't be jealous! This was his best friend who he hadn't seen for years. Mitch catches my eye, and I try to look like I'm not incredibly and furiously jealous. Mitch pulls away and gestures at me. "Jerome, this is my apprentice and...boyfriend Liam." He leaves the shocked Jerome's side to wedge himself in the middle of us.

He kisses me deeply, leaving me stunned as he pulls away. People are looking our way, confusion in their eyes-we had been hiding it for a while. Wolf whistles from Munching Brotato's direction sound, and my cheeks go pink. Looking over at Jerome, worried at his reaction, he raises his eyebrows at Mitch. "Didn't know you were into men biggums." he laughs. Mitch grins back and then looks at me softly. "Well, I wasn't at first. But Liam changed that." He smiles gently at me, kissing me on my now crimson cheeks. "You're beautiful darling." he purrs, a mischevious glint in his eyes. "Get lost." I grunt, turning away, trying not to let him see my proud grin.

"Look, it's Deamon!" Mudkip shouts, claiming everyone's attention. Turning away from Husky in his ridiculous black suit, we all look to the forest. Deamon strides out, his expression unreadable. Sympathy was the first thing I felt. Where was Tia now? With the dead Ridgedog? "Hello everyone. Sorry to interrupt but I just thought I would let you know that the Yogscast are willing to make a treaty." A loud whisper sounds from Sundee, "Yeah, now Ridge is dead they want to give up straight away." Deamon glances at Sundee, a sudden grin appearing on his face. I frown, which was echoed by many of the people sat around me. Why did he look so happy when his best friend just died?

"Funny you mention that." he chuckles.

Ridgedog suddenly appears, very much alive beside him, Tia also at his side, holding his hand. He was grinning at everyone's reaction. "But you died!" I blurt out. He glances at me. "Yeah I did. But-" He was soon interrupted by another voice sounding out in the trees. Mexxy appears, hovering above us all, and Tia flinches. "I brought him back to life. For all you pathetic mortals, you don't even realize that I am royalty, the king of all the immortals. You should be bowing to me, not your mortal king."

I can see Ridgedog looking away now, grinding his teeth a little. My thoughts go out to him. Poor guy. Must be pretty tough to be laughed at as the ex king. "We are having a meeting to decide what to do with Sky," Deadlox begins, then quickly ends with, "Your Highness" when Mexxy gives him a death glare. "The Sky you thought was in battle was not the real Sky. That was just a decoy. I manipulated him after your hunger games, hypnotised him. The real Sky, your king, is locked up somewhere. I might as well release him now. The games are over. I just thought I'd watch Ridgedog die, just once." he grins, looking over at Ridgedog. Tia regards him furiously, wrapping her arm around Ridgedog's waist who glowers at him.

Sky suddenly stumbles out of the forest, shaken and scared. He flinches when he sees the hovering Mexxy. Deadlox runs to his side, slipping his arm under him to support him. Some people theorise that those two were having a secret relationship, but this wasn't proven. "H-he locked me away. I didn't do any of that stuff, I-" Sky stammers until Deadlox hushes him. "It's OK, we know." he soothes, leading the shaken king to his rightful place on the throne. God knows what happened to him up there, and I dreaded to think what they might have done to the budder king.

"I'll be taking my leave now. Don't think this is the last time you'll hear from me. Goodbye, mortals. Quart god. General. And ex king." he smirks before adding, "and unborn child." Confused looks are passed around but I look straight at Tia. Ridgedog has his arm round her protectively, his hand resting on her stomach. She smiles at me, before looking up at Ridge who smiles back. So Tia was starting a family now. Like I didn't see that coming from a mile away.

Mexxy disappears, and we all look over at the floating demigods and quart god, waiting for them to speak. Ridgedog drifts down, landing quietly on the floor. Tia stays floating beside him, hand on his shoulder. "We have asked the Yogscast about this and they have all agreed this war is pointless." There are some angry whispers but he waits patiently before carrying on. "They have agreed that if you put aside our differences and form a treaty with us, then we can be friends, not enemies. We will trade with you, and come and meet you so we can be one island instead of two. What do you say?" he smiles.

Everyone looks at Sky who looks thoughtful. There is a long stretch of awkward silence before Mitch clears his throat, bringing everyone to his attention. "I think we should do it. We've both done some pretty bad stuff to each other. Might as well join them. It wouldn't do any harm to have an extra ally, would it?" he says before falling silent. Ridgedog nods his thanks at him and Mitch smiles warmly back. "Sure, let's go for it!" Sky suddenly grins, and he steps up to shake Ridgedog's hand. And just like that, the treaty was sealed.

Walking away after the meeting, Mitch pulls me away from the others. "Want to be my partner, as well as Jerome?" he whispers and I grin. "Of course!" I laugh and we kiss passionately against a tree. 

_____________________________________________________

On that day, Team Crafted and the Yogscast came together to celebrate the treaty. There was a huge party, where we played truth or dare, drank a lot and partied until we passed out. It was the most fun we'd had in ages, and we met a lot of new friends. Our differences were settled, apart from the odd jokey argument about who hit who in the war, and who caused what scar. I soon learned Tia had also become Ridgedog's partner and there was a toast in our honour, where both of our masters stood up to point out all the good things about us. The drunk speech lasted for an hour, and both of us were swelling with pride. We all left late in the morning, back to our houses, safe in the knowledge that there would be no more war between the Yogscast and Team Crafted. 

Sky decided to step down from leadership, saying all decisions would be made on a vote from all of Team Crafted instead. Some say it was so he could have his relationship with Deadlox, but again there was no evidence to prove it. And now it was time to settle down and enjoy the, hopefully, everlasting peace and quiet...
