After Error's dissapearance, so much has been falling apart, to the point where Dream came to me in desperation, and told me we needed to jump into the Void to find our lost God.
We meet up in Outertale, standing in Error's favorite gazing spot.

"We need to get error back, you'd be more likely to survive the fall then me." Dream says with a sigh.
"I know dream. It's bad if both negative holders leave, but i'm also the only one he'll believe. You remember what you need to do?"
"Keep ink under wraps for you. And if he goes on a creative spree to tell the gang and let them destroy a few au's to compensate." I nod.
"Good, i know i can trust you. I'll be back as soon as i can. IF i survive this." Dream nods, giving me one last hug, which i return,before stepping to the edge.

I pull my magic inward, diluting the slime and showing my true form, before letting myself fall.

The pain was instant, but i close my eyesockets, and forcing myself to sleep.

I come to next to an asphalt street, my negativity stores were near nothing. But i could feel him, his negativity was entrancing, it's needed. I wander towards His aura, the thought of the negativity he held restrengthening me, tantilizingly close. I stumble as i walk, heading for him.

Something felt off as i wake up.
It'd been a few days over a month since Error woke up and changed our lives.
Jay's been living with us since her arrival a week ago. Honestly, most days have been practicing magic, and we've discovered a second form from Jay, a nightfury with beautiful purple eyes. That one had the Delightful pleasure of scaring me in the middle of the night.

I sit up and i tap the hammock, causing Error to peek over.
"Don't you feel that? Something feels wrong."
He shrugs, then tilts his skull. Teleporting to the floor, he stands and i get up. Jay seemed to be already awake and out in the livingroom.
I walk out down the hallway, but the strange feeling followed me through the day, but nobody else seemed phased. I grab a notebook and pencil and head into the room.

I spend an hour, scratching pencil to paper, when i feel this freezing cold chill slide through my spine like someone has dropped an ice cube down my shirt. I flinch, feeling my panic rise beyond my control as i see a single, navy blue eyelight, staring from the shadows.

I'd like to say that i kept my cool in this situation. Nope, that's a bald faced lie. I screamed bloody murder.
Error was there in a second as i scramble to my feet, and something white and purple launched onto him and he grabbed onto the things arms and i see him push the stranger down, and he said.
"NiGhTmaRe? By FatE yOU loOk aWFul." Nightmare grabs Error, and i notice how odd he's acting.
"Doesn't he get weak around positive magic?" Error shakes his head.
"JuSt stay there. His negativity levels must be really low if he attacked after a burst of Fear. You being there will show him that your good, once he comes to his senses from taking negativity from me."
I nod, slowly getting to my feet as error only flinches when Nightmare bites his shoulder.
"What the-" error shakes his head to stop me.
I sigh as i watch, the weak purple eyelights brightening and changing shape as he lets go, collapsing to the ground, supported by Errors grip.
"Error? Thanks for stopping me."
"Of course brother. What even happened?"
"Falling through the Void. I barely survived it. You're, guarding a human?"
He nods, and sits down next to his... friend, brother? I don't know enough about them.
I.... really should start doing research now.
"Ummm, sir-"
"Nightmare is my name youngish human, if Error's protecting you, then i know he's found a trusting ally. Do you have a name?" He says, his voice trembling.
"Sahara, and you sound like you need to rest, recoup enough strength to think about standing."
I come over and takes his arms from error, who briskly teleports up into his hammock, and i carefully scoop up the skeleton, placing him on my bed.
I pull up his check, his HP is low. I stretch my hand out, and i notice error's gaze, as i shake my head, focusing, and carefully, i channel my magic, filling it with the intention to help. With the want to help, and i open my eyes to see emerald light coming from my palms. I gently put my hand to his chest, and i see the number representing his HP going up, and thankfully i get it a few hundred points before i have to stop before i pass out.
"How low was he?"
"Double digits, like 15, he was low. I brought it up to 150 before i had to stop."
"Your really getting the hang of your healing, rest up for the rest of today, he'll need food more then healing magic, he's usually got like 3,000 hp." I nod, sighing as i head for the hallway.
"Now to go explain this insanity. I'm suprised i didn't have mom and Jay in here."
"I told them i'd handle it. I'll watch over him." I smile and i head down the hallway. I decide that i need to learn more about these guys world if they were gonna start popping up like daisies.
