*Icia basically sprints to the tree. Every part of her body aches once she reaches it, but she doesn't care. She lets herself fall down at its roots, then wills herself to succumb to sleep as fast as possible.*

sleep dosent come easily

You're not sure if it's the pain you're going though or the fact that the warm, comforting presence of this place is gone

“Tag!” Dream laughed and Nightmare rolled his eyes.

“Dream, I’m drawing.” He huffed and his brother leaned over his shoulder.

“Whatcha drawing then?” He whispered, almost sarcastically quiet.

“Oh shush. I’m drawing us.” Nightmare smiled and his brother seemed honestly excited, leaning over more to look at it.

“Cool!” Nightmare laughed. It was a drawing of them together in front of the tree. They both seemed happy in the drawing.

Dream clutched the drawing in his hand, wondering where that happiness went. Somewhere along the lines of everything that happened, the drawing had gotten ripped in half. Dream kept both pieces though. Sometimes he questioned why he kept them, when they caused him so much pain, reminded him of the happy life he could no longer have.

One time, in the middle of the night, Dream woke up and was unable to return to sleep. In a slightly sleep deprived state, he grabbed the two pieces and taped them together. 

The next morning he laughed at himself for doing so but maybe, just maybe, Nightmare would really come home and be himself again.

Yea. Why did he lie to himself?

“Nightmare stop!” Dream yelled out as yet another au burned around him. Nightmare looked over at his brother and smirked. Nightmare had changed so much. It was scary for Dream to look back and remember the brother that Nightmare had been before.

“But why brother? Why should I stop?” He asked as his tentacles waved around violently. Dream fought the reaction to flinch away.

“You’re hurting people.” Dream tried to reason.

“And why do you think I care? News flash Dream. I don’t care if I hurt people.” Nightmare walked closer and the other took a quick step backwards. He was terrified although he hated to admit just how scared he was.

“But-“

“I’m not even the Nightmare you once knew and I’m SICK of you trying to ‘save me’!” Nightmare grabbed Dream who yelped immediately in his brother's grip. Nightmares grip was strong and painful for Dream who started to fight back, attempting to escape.

“Pathetic…” Nightmare hissed. Dream whimpered, truly believing his brother was gone. What he didn’t know is that there was a ghostly form of the brother Dream had known before. Said ghostly form was begging for Dream to be left alone.

Slowly Nightmare’s tentacles wrapped around Dream’s arms, lifting his brother into the air. One of the two left knocked Dreams crown off his head and the other ripped apart Dreams cape. Dream let out a sob as one of them reached for his eye.

“Please… stop…” Dream begged and his words were echoed by the ghostly Nightmare. 

“Tough chance.” He hissed and soon tossed a broken and unconscious dream to the ground. The ghostly Nightmare sobbed and scrambled to his brother although he was unable to physically interact with the others now broken body.

“Oh shut up.” The physical Nightmare hissed and the ghostly one sobbed more.

“Night?” Dream whispered. He was a spirit too, if not just for a moment.

“Dream!? Are you dead!?” Nightmare was panicking.

“No… at least, I don’t think I am.” Dream looked around before kneeling in front of his unconscious body.

“I’m not dusting… but… are you real?” Dream whispered.

“Yea. I’m real… I guess I’m sorta the dead one here… that… monster… isn’t me…” he glanced at the dark version of Nightmare that had moved to terrorize more people in the au.

“What happened? How?” Dream whispered.

“When I ate the apples…”

Nightmare flinched away from the angered yells. 

“Leave me alone!” He sobbed but they continued. After what seemed like forever, they left again. He didn’t have to question where they were going, they were likely going to bother his brother.

“I’m not evil… I’m not bad…” he whimpered but that quiet voice, one that never existed before but now grew louder every day, nagged at him. It told him how awful he was. He was an evil boy, negative and dark. No amount of comfort from Dream could destroy the voice. 

“They aren’t bad either… my apples can’t be that bad… can they?” He stood and reached for them.

“Nightmare!” Dream came up the hill laughing and Nightmare turned quickly, dropping his hand.

“Hey Dream!” He smiled at his brother. It wasn’t a fake smile, at least not when he was with his twin.

“How was your day?” Dream asked as he reached Nightmares side. Nightmare merely shrugged as he sat back down. He didn’t want to lie to his brother. This wasn’t lying, it was just not giving a true answer at all. He couldn’t tell his brother, it would make Dream freak out.

“Huh… well I had a good day and I hope your shrug means that you did too!” He giggled a bit. Nightmare just smiled at his brother. His shrug meant whatever Dream wanted it to.

“Whatever brother…” he hummed and Dream giggled. Nightmare just relaxed under the tree, smiling softly when his brother joined him and closed his eyes.

Nightmare watched his brother walk off again, like always, towards the town. He knew the villagers in the town loved his brother. He was glad about that, considering what he went through. The villagers hated him, calling him the guardian of evil among other terrible things.

“Hey look! It’s the monster!” A villager boy laughed. They always came after Dream had left. Nightmare knew that telling his brother would end the bullying but it would also make his usually positive brother, really sad.

“I am not a monster.” Nightmare whispered and he only got a response of pure laughter. He balled his fists and faced the tree instead of the bullies.

“Not a monster? Are you completely stupid? You’re negativity. You and your dirty apples make everyone sad.” They pushed Nightmare and the boy stumbled forward before turning to face the snarling villager. After a while they left and Night turned to his apples again. This time he didn’t hesitate as he grabbed an apple and took a bite. He kept eating his apples, ignoring his pain, before a hand was placed on his shoulder. He turned and froze as he stared into his own face.

“Can’t eat anymore ghostly.” The dark, goopy, figure smirked and Nightmare realized what he did, whimpering in fear.

“Who are you?” He whispered.

“Awe… but im you…”

“So… you’re not in control of your body anymore?” Dreamasked and Night nodded softly.

“Yea… Mare is a different person than me.” 

“Mare?”

“I’m Night, he’s Mare.” The ghostly guardian of negativity smiled sadly at his brother.

“And you, Dream, are waking up… don’t forget that he’s the puppeteer… not me…” he insisted. Dream nodded.

Dream notched an arrow as he stared at a photo of Mare. That monster stole his brother and he’d make him pay. He launched the arrow and watched it sink into the photo.

“Angry much?” Ink asked, eating popcorn as he watched the other.

“He has Night just trapped there… he’s destroying everything… I’ll make him pay for taking my brother. One day at a time, he’ll pay.” Dream hissed. He walked up to his target and yanked the arrow out of the photo. He frowned more and raised a fist, punching the photo out of anger.

“You do realize that won’t hurt the actual guy right?” Ink laughed. Dream Just grumbled in anger.

“I know Ink. I’m not an idiot.” He sighed before turning to hang the picture back up and shoot the arrow again.

“I’m not saying you were an idiot, I just think you’re acting like one right now.” He teased. Dream, obviously, didn’t find that funny.

“I’m training to get my brother back.” He hissed before standing and leaving the room.

“Cause that monster isn’t my brother, just a puppeteer… and my brother is his puppet.”

(I’d like to say that Amarald was okay with this not being 5000 words. I set my mark way to high in saying that amount.)

Sending helium for the Dreamland asks 💕

Do you have any dreams for the future?

hmm. that’s a very good question. I’m at a point in my life right now where I feel like i have zero direction. i just graduated from college, moved back to my hometown (i know ick) and now i’m like in limbo almost?

i do see myself moving in the near future. i can’t guarantee where but my boyfriend and i are wanting to get out of idaho as soon as possible. and honestly i’m leaving here with or without him 😂

so yeah that’s a dream for the future, to leave my hometown. hopefully go out of the USA, maybe canada or even europe and just live there for a while.

thank you for asking :)

[jhomps]

Think we could ever meet at a con? ;v;

Absolutely! I have some gaming cons planned for next year, and there's the Midlands MCM? I don't think I can make any of the London MCMs, I'll be in Tokyo and Paris respectively if things go according to plan, but there are plenty of other opportunities, right? And if not a con, there's always a chance we can meet and do something else instead!

[jesters-shadows]

*It's been a long time since anyone's been here.... but someone starts to approach. She holds a few marigold flowers in her hands as she approaches the tree.*

the tree seems different somehow, you feel like you're not alone but it's still a comforting feeling

[jesters-shadows]

Please do remember to settle yourself as well.

she nods

i will.

[jesters-shadows]

Oh, okay! Miro, come on, let's find a dress for the ball!

I can hardly walk yet, though!

...... *He swoops her into his arms.*

!!!!!

I've had to pick up Vaga too many times for performances, I gotchu!

*He carries her out happily. Ode and Sammy laugh at Miro's shocked and flustered expression.*

Raina chuckles a bit.

[jesters-shadows]

Really good! I made Vaga go to Nathan so they can ask Alex to make some formal outfits for them since I know for a FACT Vaga doesn't have any except a plain ol' suit and I don't think Nathan does either.

[Yes ill be sending an ask for that, unless you don't want me to]

(no thank you buuuuuuuuuut I am willing to do something with Alex and sammy later)

Oooh nice

[jesters-shadows]

Oh???

........ oh F--- IT- *he (while still upside down) tilts Conny's face towards him and kisses her, on the lips, upside down.*

*If Icia didn't have that wine glass on the ground already she would have dropped it.*

OH????

conny always gets very flustered when he does something like that so its no surprise that she's blushing.

OOOOOOH?!

aww

[jesters-shadows]

Yeah, go ahead and dream of me kissing you like this- *Icia takes his face and gently kisses him on the lips. She pulls away sooner than she wanted, mostly because of Raina being right there.*

I'll join you and Aster after I'm done with Raina.

m'kay

he's blushing a little bit, but that's more because he's embarrassed rainas right. he does dream about icia a lot.

[jesters-shadows]

I agree. I'll be going back to the circus soon to try and find whomever did that to her....

But she's safe now, that's all that matters, and I think it's finally about time we start preparing the kingdom celebration.

Yeah, celebraton first, we need something to relax before we go kick some kidnappers ass.

[jesters-shadows]

And I'm still sorry for not telling you sooner. *she smiles a bit. At least there's no more fighting.*

yeah, no more fighting.

Did joy end up alright? I know she's here but is she alright?

[jesters-shadows]

.... if he comes back, bring him hell. I know you'll have no issue with that though. We'll be back soon.

*Sammy and Icia go through the portal.*

she just watches...she wants to punch something.

[jesters-shadows]

I'm going to the circus then. Send someone if he returns. Achilles, station yourself to protect Fynn from getting kidnapped, too.

Yes ma'am.

Samuel, are you coming or not?

You know damn well I am.

Good. *she looks at Raina, as if asking if she has any input.*

she doesn't have any.

God she's so mad right now, she can't leave because she has to make sure the kingdom doesn't fall apart. She wants to kill whoever took joy so damn badly. And she's still rightfully mad at icia...she grips her nail bat as tight as inhumanly possible out of pure rage...she doesn't show it other than that.

[jesters-shadows]

And you've heard of this person before?!?!

Yes, there was an issue I heard about back in the circus, he's done this before and I don't know anything about him but he's doing it again for some reason, so our best chances are going back to the circus-

*She sees Raina, too frantic and battle-ready to really remember their fight.* Can you see if he's still in the kingdom?!

he's not.

Seems she already checked on her way here.
