DREAM POV

I woke up, confused as I sat up from the beanbag and pouted. "The chair was very comfortable.." I said before forcibly standing up from the comfort chair.

"Let's see what else I can do.. while I get deja vu everytime I talk." I added, going out of my room to see beautiful paintings depicting deities and other skeletons, sometimes hybrids.

"Ink really has a passion for painting, I wonder why he loves it so much to the point of.. putting it on the floor." I paused my tracks, noticing paintings on the floor.

"Maybe I can practice magic just like Ink.. like creating a portal!" I felt my eyes turn into stars, I run outside to practice my magic and happily said aka screaming to myself a song.

I stopped singing after I saw dummies at the backyard, this is where Ink will train me soon I think. "Time to make my practice in my mindscape worth it!" I smiled.

"Uh, I think making my weapon appear is as easy as doing it in the mindscape, right?.." I started to doubt myself but thinking positive, I would not let myself think negative.

I attempt to summon my weapon by closing my eyes and thinking about it but there was no weight, didn't work. Tried again but still didn't work, maybe another method.

Fourth attempt, I tried to make hand movements to summon the weapon yet it didn't work.. but I won't give up that easily on it so I tried again till I used half of the hand movements I know.

It was already dawn but I won't go inside yet.. I tried chanting words like open sesame, alacaboom and other words but didn't work as I expected.

Fourty-five attempt, I used my magic to summon the weapon and.. and.. It didn't work so I just sat down on the grassy part of the training area and sighed.

"I really miscalculated on how magic can work when your out of the world you call the mind.." I was very dizzy by using almost all my mana without rest, If only I could close my eyes and rest.. I refused.

I stood up from the grass since I just couldn't give up now, I refuse to give up. I noticed Ink in the distance, who was watching me for who knows how long. "Eh, whatever.." I ignored Ink to focus.

I imagined myself in a situation which would lead to disaster, I felt negativity surrounding me to which I heard a crack but tried to ignore it.

I felt heavy weight on my hand and looked down, seeing my bow. "Finally I summoned my bow.." I said, excited for my success but I felt a sting on my SOUL as my whole body shook which was probably my negativity.

I felt tired and my vision was blurry. Hearing Ink call my name, I tried to turn around and tell him I was fine but fell on the grass floor.

The pain in my SOUL was unbearable and I felt like killing myself to end the pain, I whimper from the pain and hugged myself to ease the pain out.

Feeling myself being lifted, I try to face Ink but I couldn't see anything. My vision has darken but I could still hear Ink's voice calling for me, my hand twitches from time to time.

When we got inside the house, I could hear another skeleton talking after all that mess, the world had gone silent..

I awoke in a dark room, it was very like home which was my mindscape and saw the last person I expected to see with his murderous eyes.

Looking around, it was empty like my mindscape. "Brother..?" I call out but the said person turns his head to me.

"Brother, I know your listening. Please, come back and we can live in a world where everything we wanted can happen.." I beg.

"It's too late, you never helped me when I was bullied and I saw you.. you talk to those villagers like you never saw me, injured." He yelled.

"But n-nighty, I tried my best!.. I helped you a few times.." I reason out, trying not to cry.

"NO EXCUSES! I HATE YOU, I WISH YOU WEREN'T BROTHER. YOU ARE A PATHETIC, HEARTLESS SOUL." Brother stated, and I felt a familiar sting in my SOUL.

I went silent, having no words before I bursted into tears. My brother stuck out his tongue, watching in disgust. "Your just a crybaby." He said.

"I-im sorry brother, I w-w-wanted to help you.." I look down and memories flash in my eyes, I try to ignore him.

I saw him roll his eyes before walking away and vanishing my mindscape, it was like he wasn't my brother anymore. Like he was a different person.

"Nighty was right.. He doesn't deserve a brother like me!" I fell to my knees and hugged myself. "He hates me.. I feel like I'm betraying myself.." I hid myself to a dark corner.

"But I still love you, brother."
