Sanes Across The Multiverse

Dreamtale

Nightmare clenched his fingers in anger as he stared at the Stone figure of his brother.

The damn bastard had turned to stone five hundred years ago when He first gained his power. Killing all those villagers who had wronged him, then corrupting the land around him as well. Just to make sure those pests didn't come back.

And after he had done all his counting, he waited. Waited for his stupid younger brother to not be stone anymore and let him have that final apple.

For as long as he had it, (As much as Nightmare didn't want to admit it) Dream was useful.

One of Nightmare's tentacles went out toward the stone, rubbing across the stone figure of his brother's face. Looking for any cracks as the tentacle wrapped around Dream's head.

Nightmare's gaze grew hateful. Never, more than now had he wanted to crush dreams Useless face.

The tentacle pulled back and slammed into the ground. Cracks forming leading to the tree stump.

Nightmare sighed before turning to the tree stump and walking towards it.

Nightmare sat on the stump and stared at Dream's body. Forever frozen with that look of defiance. Having absorbed the apple in one last act of betrayal.

Nothing more nightmare should have expected from his traitorous "brother".
