The dream door opens in the Grassland Domain, and shortly after the Butter Ant Queen flies out of the swirling blue portal, accompanied by several of her Butter Ant Soldier and Drones. Toby and Charming step out of the portal after the ants, with Noble and Browny closely behind them.
Toby Robinson: Oh, Charming. You had me going for a second, I actually believed you when you said the Ant Queen wanted to marry me. Such a funny prank! (Toby said with a laugh, ignoring Charming's neutral gaze)
Charming thinks back on the matter, remembering what the Butter Ant Queen actually told him.
"Your master is strong, brave, and a kind person. He risked his life to protect his followers, that is a really admirable trait. (The Butter Ant Queen told Charming)
"My Lord is all of those things, and so much more. I can feel it in my bones that he will accomplish great things someday. That is why I follow him, to witness it with my own eyes. (Charming said confidently)
"Hmm... I would like to follow him as well, all I care about is my own safety, so I need someone strong enough to protect me. I have relied on my ants for too long, and they fail me time and time again. Your master is not the first to threaten my life, intruders have been attacking more frequently, getting stronger each time they evade. I got stronger to better combat them, but it is only a matter of time before something destroys me, and I don't want to die just yet. Tell your Lord that I can be useful to him, tell him I will marry him if he so wishes. My army, my strength, my resources will all be at his disposal. All I ask in return, is to be protected, like he protected you and the others. (The Queen pleaded, her head bowed low)
"Please raise your head, Ant Queen." (Charming told the massive insect, and she does so)... I do not know how my Lord will respond to this proposal, but I will tell him nonetheless. You have my word on that." (Charming promises her)
"That is all that I require from you." (The Queen told him with another bow)
********
Prince Charming: Right... It was just a joke. (Charming replied after snapping back to to the present)... It was never really about marriage, just a mutually beneficial partnership. The Queen gets the protection she wanted, and you get a very strong ally. It's a win win for both parties. (Charming explains to Toby with a satisfied nod)
Toby Robinson: I guess you're right about that, but none of that matters right now. It is time to check out my new stats! (Toby said excitedly, doing a little dance as he waits for the screen to pop up)

Toby Robinson: Yes, it's always cool to see some sweet, sweet improvement! And, I now have a high grade dream being that won't try to kill me. Suck it Clockwork! (Toby celebrated happily, letting his joy get the better of him)
Prince Charming: The Ant Queen is now a sworn ally, you can count on her for anything, My Lord. (Charming tells him confidently, vouching for the Queen)
Toby Robinson: Poor Charming doesn't know how the System works, the Ant Queen can't betray me even if she wanted to. Once the True Bond is forged, we're connected. The only downside to this is I can't use her skills. Which sucks, but now I have a high grade and her army of dream beings backing me up, so I guess that's a fair trade. But what makes the True Bond so freaking awesome, is this. (Toby thought to himself, reading a particular message with a satisfied grin of his face)
[Domain Merging Complete]
[You Have Successfully Merged The Grassland Domain With The Butter World Domain]
[30% Merged]
[70% Absorbed]
Just moments after Toby reads this message, the entirity of the Grassland Domain begins to quake and rumble. Something in the distance is ripping open the earth, and in a matter of seconds a massive mountain pushes out of the ground, the top of this mountain coated by a bright yellow substance. This strange substance is butter, butter and elements from the Butter World Domain, seamlessly incorporating with the Grassland Domain.
Toby Robinson: Woah... Now that is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. The coolest still being Clockwork, but let's face it, what can top a giant green dragon with a clock in it's chest! (Toby comments happily)
Prince Charming: Marvelous. (Charming said in awe, marveling at the glorious sight)
The Butter Ant Queen quickly flies towards the mountain, and upon reaching it she begins to dig into the concrete, with her ants immediately following suit.
[What Would You Like To Name This Section?]
Toby Robinson: Wow, I have to name it? Okay then, how about... (Toby says as he thinks about it for a second, looking at the keyboard that has appeared along with the screen)... Butter Ant Mountain! (Toby said as he typed in the words, smiling as he did so)
[Name Selected]
[Butter Ant Mountain Established]
Charming looks around, taking in the wonderful sights of this domain. The Royal Castle, his destroyed home, now restored and given purpose again. The trees and the grass, home to the insects that beautify the place even more with their presence. And now the mountain, standing tall and true in the distance, a testament to the strength and courage of the one who made all of this possible.
Prince Charming: You created something great here, My Lord. And to think that you are just getting started... I am truly amazed by you, Toby Robinson. (Charming tells him with a proud smile)
Toby Robinson: Oh shucks, don't be overdramatic, Charming. None of this would have been possible without you, Browny, Noble, and even Clockwork helping me. I owe it all to you guys. (Toby tells him sincerely)... You know what, why don't I do something. Yes, it makes perfect sense! We've created so much here, we can't just keep calling it the Grassland, this place deserves a better name. (Toby tells him enthusiastically)
Prince Charming: What do you suggest, My Lord? (Charming happily asks)
A few minutes later, Toby has selected a new name for his domain, and it couldn't have been any more perfect.
