🌟Chapter 04 : The Twin's Conversation🌙

The nine of them are going home, walking through the forest side by side, not talking to each other as there's only silence surrounded them. It's awkward, they're supposed to be one big team right now, but both sides doesn't seem to want to work together, even for the sake of the world. Dream looked at Nightmare slightly, Nightmare's pupil looked at Dream for a second before looking back forward. Dream holds both of his own hands as he looked back forward.

"Wonder when the Pinnacles are comin' next." Killer speaks up, breaking the silence. At first no one responded to what he say, but then Nightmare opened his mouth to say something,

"It may be tomorrow or next week. It shouldn't be that long."

"You see how fast the second attack comes after the first is." Error said.

"Jus' how many of them, actually?" Killer asked. Nightmare shakes his head,

"Not sure. I cannot believe I forgot to ask that to that human Priestess." Nightmare said.

"This world have a defensive barrier right? Why not we check it out and see outside of the barrier to see how much of the Pinnacles are there." Dust suggested.

"Not... a good idea." Horror spoked. Nightmare nodded,

"I've read it in one of the book about this world. It's prohibited to go outside of the barrier." Nightmare said.

"Where is this barrier located?" Cross asked.

"All over this land." Dream replied Cross' question as everyone looked at him. The sudden attention made Dream jerked in suprise, "Um- we can see the barrier from the beach.. there are tree roots in the ocean.. that's where.. the barrier is.." Dream said, nervously.

"Nice. The beach." Killer said.

After a few while, they're arrived at the splitting path in the forest, one to Nightmare's Kingdom, one to Star Sanses Castle. Nightmare and his teammates went to the path to his castle, Ink and Blue also already went on the little path to Star Castle. Dream stood there between the two path as he stared at Nightmare walking away. Ink and Blue stopped once they noticed that Dream's not with them, they turned around and Ink called him,

"Dream?"

Dream blinked and looked at his friends, smiling softly to tell them that there's nothing wrong. Then he looked back at Nightmare, who stopped walking and now turned to see Dream. Dream took a deep breath and exhaled,

"Brother, I need to talk to you."

Nightmare raised one of his bone brow, "About what?"

"Please, follow me. It's important."

Nightmare stood there still. After a while, he sighed and looked at his teammates, "Go back to the castle everyone. I'll be back once I'm finished with Dream." His teammates nodded their head and walked away from them. Dream smiled then looked at his friends, "You guys too." Dream said, Ink and Blue nodded their head and walked away. Nightmare walked closer to Dream.

"So what do you want to talk about, bringing me all the way out here." Nightmare said. Nightmare and Dream are both at the beach and Dream were right, there are tree roots in the ocean blocking everything beyond it. Dream looked at the sand, moving his foot around, kicking the sand,

"Well... um, How are you, Nightmare? It's been so long." Dream started.

"Quit it with the chit-chat. You said it's important, I wouldn't come with you if it's not." Nightmare said. Dream holds his arm, then he looked up at the tree roots in the ocean far from here.

"I just.. since we are going to fight all the Pinnacle entities together.. I want us to be actually working together to fight them. I know protecting something is not your thing, but we have no choice but to do it together, brother."

Nightmare looked at him, staying silent.

"What Ms. Lambert said about you, is it true that you've grown fond to this world? Maybe it's true that you do know that this world is worth protecting and that you want to keep this world as you rule your Kingdom. You don't have to hide it, Brother, I know you love this world. I know that you want to protect it too."

Nightmare didn't respond to what Dream said. But he listened to every word he said. Yes, it's just as he says. Nightmare looked back at the tree roots barrier and not saying anything for a couple of minutes. Nightmare sighed,

"...alright. We'll work together." Nightmare said. Dream smiled, "Nightmare..!" Nightmare looked at Dream,

"But.. once this is all over, we'll go back to what we always do." Nightmare said. Dream firmly nodded his head with a smile,

"Of course. We'll also go back stopping you from causing negative feelings and destructions in the multiverse." Dream said.

Nightmare blinked, he turned around, hidding his soft smile and holding back his chuckle. "Well, let's go back. Our friends are waiting." Dream said and Nightmare nodded his head.
