(HIATUS) Guess I'm still not good enough.

Chapter 5

Nightmare slept well that night, tucked in his bed and cuddling his bunny plushie close to his body. Terra smiled at her son and kissed his forehead goodnight. He was such a sweetheart; a little boy with the biggest heart she had ever seen.  "Goodnight sweetie, sleep well ok?" She left the room to clean up from dinner.

As nightmare slept in his bed, he had a very beautiful dream which was new considering he usually had nightmares hence why before hand he never ever slept and drunk loads of coffee. After all, sleep was for the weak.

Dream:
Nightmare was sitting under the tree of feelings, listening to the wind rustle the leaves of the tree gently long side chirping birds that flew nearby. He felt very peaceful, smiling softly at the sky as clouds drifted by on a soft summer breeze. He liked this peacefulness; this ability to just sit down and think about things without worrying about anyone else or being hurt.

He was happy; he had made a new friend and he was so happy to finally have a true friends that understood a side his boys never got to see because they left before he could show them. "A penny for your thoughts?" A familiar voice said making him look up to see Erin smiling down at him. He blinked. "How'd you get here?" He asked very confused on how his new friend was in his dream.

Erin sat down beside him and chuckled. "I dunno. I was dreaming about my home when i was guided here by a soft piece of music. It lead me to you." Nightmare rose an eyebrow, confused. Music? There was no music here at all. "But Erin, there is no music. Is baby Bain leaving your brain scattered?" He joked making her burst out laughing and shake her head.

"Pffft hahahahaha! No!" She laughed and turned to him. "I can hear your soul song." He blinked. Soul song? He had never heard of tat in his 504 years of living and he had researched a lot f different types of magic monsters and humans had. What could he say? He was a massive nerd who loved to learn and expand his knowledge. He then lit up. New knowledge!

"What is a soul song? That sounds so cool!" Erin giggled t his enthusiasm. It was refreshing to see someone as similar yet so different to her. "I'm a siren." She said an looked at the stream of freshwater nearby. "I have the ability to listen to every persons soul song; a song that is unique to them and is the melody of their being. Yours is hauntingly beautiful. Like a female vocalist singing in an ancient language."

Nightmare stared and then touched his chest. His soul song was that beautiful? He never thought his soul was beautiful at all; not after everything that had happened in his life. "You know, I've never met a siren before." He smiled at her. "But I've dad all about your species and i have to say, you lot intrigue me!"

The two proceeded to talk under the tree for hours about all the knowledge they had learned over the years and seeing if they could outwit the other but they couldn't. Both were having too much fun with the fact they'd met another fellow nerd. "I wonder what else my powers can do." Nightmare Sid looking up at the fruitless tree above which caused Erin to follow his trail of sight.

"Same."

He sighed and looked at his hands that were scarred, rough and tiny. "My brother can give and take positivity, i can give and take negativity but i have a feeling i can do way more than that." He said as he put his hands in his pockets to hide them. He hated being reminded of how bad his bones look due to the abuse and his own neglect.

"Well you were born from this tree, right?" He nodded at her question and looked at her who was heavily thinking. "Yes i was." He said making her smile brightly. "Nature powers! You could have nature powers and luna magic! Why not try it?!" She said taking him aback. Nature and luna magic? Why didn't he think of that? But then again, he thought that all he had was guardian magic for negativity.
