The Sun and Moon Cross Paths

The Double Masked Duo

"ACK!" Fell grunted, basically getting kicked and beaten around by Error despite Fell trying to dodge and go over to Killer. Killer was more focused on Horror as Horror struggled a bit more trying to focus on both Killer and Dust. Cross watched the others training, not bothering to get up. Knowing if he did, he'd probably have to train with them. He didn't want that. Not yet at least.

"STOP!" Error yelled with his demanding voice. Everyone froze their heavy breathing was the only sound in the room. "That should be enough for today-" Error told them as the others groaned and fell to the ground. Cross slightly chuckled a bit. Error leaned his neck to the side, letting out a popping sound from the crook of his neck.

"Alright, take a break. I'll call you all when it's time to patrol again. Fell, you need to focus more on training." Error told him. He nodded while trying to breathe. Error then left the room, Cross the only one in the room with a smirk.

Cross chuckled, "You guys alright?" Cross asked, slowly standing up. They groaned, "Aren't you knights suppose to be used to this? I'd think only Fell and I be tired," Cross leaned down, touching his toes as he stretched.

"Error always makes things hard on us," Dust huffed and puffed on the ground. Cross shrugged, "I'm kinda getting used to it," Cross bragged, "You're a workaholic aren't you?" Horror chuckled a little.

Cross smirked, seeing that as a compliment. "Maybe."

King Nightmare was in his office, writing back to Star. He was just amused by this woman from her positivity despite how his kingdom is made to be his negative haven.

There was a knock on his office door. "Come in," he answered, Error entering. "Good morning your highness," he bowed in respect. "Rise. What is it?" Nightmare asked. "The knights have finished their training for today and will do patrolling soon again. I took it upon myself to start a bit early. It seems everyone in the kingdom knows of this blue-masked smile person. Or at least heard of them," Error reported

Nightmare huffed, "I see. I want you to raise taxes for... military and wall protection purposes." Nightmare made a quick excuse as to even out the raise of money that has been suddenly spawning. Error nodded, "Yessir," Error nodded, "I meant to share that I believe this might be the work of Dream," Error commented

"I am aware...from last time, I know my brother knows better than to walk in my kingdom and show himself as if we're friends," Nightmare said, reminiscing the last time Dream was alive and showed his face about 1,000 years ago, "It is not my brother doing this, rather someone inspired or... perhaps works for him." Nightmare seemed displeased at the thought of him having followers already.

"What do you think we should do about this person?" Error asked, "I would assume they're not from this kingdom, Cross mention they left the borders of our walls, perhaps they would stay somewhere in town sometime...maybe someone knows something," Error said.

"A house check then?" Nightmare asked. "Precisely," Error agreed. "Say he wasn't staying in town?" Nightmare asked. "Increase in castle guards to patrol the forest," Error suggested. "Perhaps there are outsiders out of town that occasionally come here to shop," Error said

Nightmare nodded. It makes sense, Star is probably an outsider from how they receive their letters. "Let's do both, just in case," Nightmare said, "Hire more castle guards, raise the taxes, and make sure the house checks are a surprise as well," he instructed. "Was that all you wanted to share with me?" Nightmare asked

"Yes your majesty," Error bowed. "Alright. You are dismissed," Nightmare said as Error left the room.

It as then night fell upon the kingdom. Blue was instructed to start his distribution. Outer offered to come along to help have the process be quicker. Ink saw no problem with it and with that Ink made Outer a black cloak just like Blue's, and a mask with a smile, instead it was purple. Lastly a satchel for Blue and a giant sack of baskets for Outer.
