Roy , strong and confident , started the journey the dagger talked about ,
"trust the path of death to guide you home "
even though it sounds cruel, it Was the only path . He started stabbing himself in the heart repeatedly and dying with each nightmare he wakes up in , he was doing it so quickly that the dreams or nightmares didn't have the chance to actually frighten him . he felt like a warrior marching forward as the horizon lined with spears and arrows perforating his body with no mercy , but keeps marching regardless of anything ..

can a strong will numb you ?

Falling hell , a sinking ship , lost in space, swallowed by a creature , without a face , falling plane , covered with black flesh eating bugs , the sky is crumbling down , army's collide , crows .. many many crows , people staring , a monster beneath his skin tarring his skin out , exit doors that sounds like a hoax ... a hurricane of so many doors swirling in the middle of a grey forest , clocks ticking everywhere , buried alive , losing the ability to breath .......
he stabbed his poor heart about 20 times in 20 different nightmares that he only saw glances of . After that , nightmares became sort of .. eye opening .. world war one , world war 2 , Bosnia Chechen fokeland Hiroshima Nagasaki Vietnam Korean war Burma starvation eco destruction disasters civil wars oppression depression His own country's demeaning history ...

Nightmares ?? I wish .

dying about 40 times or more , he stopped counting after losing some of his sense due to the enormous pain , he started then seeing them nightmares being built in front of his eyes ,which means he's close , very close, to Klaus .. as if he started catching up . Suddenly , his eyes widened at the sight of Klaus in front of him , he seized the opportunity as soon as it passed beside him with the speed of a bullet . he caught Klaus in one of the nightmares he was still building , and grasped him hard wrapping his arms around him as they both were falling of what it seemed to be a sky scraper ,similar to the one they both committed suicide from , only this one was still dripping sand because this dream was half built .
Klaus struggled to get loose before they hit the ground , half made distorted dreams tried to swallow them both as a desperate try from Klaus to break free , "how could such thing be happening ? how could he effect my power in any way !!! why can't I break free !! " thought Klaus ..
despite all his efforts , Roy kept grasping him till the ground seemed very close ,
Klaus , eventually , freed his hand giving the opportunity to throw a hard fist at Roy's jaw setting them apart ...
instead of falling to the ground Roy fell into a dark patch of ocean alone , he had no time to think of surviving for the opportunity is still not far away .
He stabbed his heart again and all the ocean water fell like rain along with him on a desert as lightning struck in the foggy red sky .

again and again his heart was tortured by that dagger , he was standing in front of his dad ... taking his last dose of drugs before he died ... he shuddered for an instant , he held the dagger with both hands to stab his heart again but the dagger fell ! , how could this happen !? how could he lose the dagger !?

he didn't take long to realize his mistake , his will was distracted in this particular nightmare , it connected deeply to his memory as well as his feelings of regret , his will was distracted because it focused for a fraction of time on another goal .. he wanted to jump and stop his father ... he , for a fraction of time, believed this was real ..
a slight shudder in his will and consciousness was ample to alter the future he drew into an unexpected destination . He bowed down to pick it up but looking behind him suddenly he was smashed by a full speed train that shredded him instantly .
how fragile humans are ... how weak and naive .

He found himself tied up to the ground of a forest where trees lost all their leaves and faded grey with the horizon , the ground had black and white tiles underneath the falling leaves and dust ... after regaining all his sight , he saw Klaus standing just above him , Roy instantly looked for the dagger only to be interrupted by Klaus saying " looking for this ?? " waving the dagger like a pendulum by its tip . Roy's eyes widened ... his breath turned into panting .. his will was lost , fear started crawling to his heart again consuming every cell of hope left in it accompanied by uncertainty and defeat ... where ever those show up , things will start to look real ...
Klaus , with a quick move , threw the dagger and it settled in a tree log behind Roy ,
" it's not over sandman !! " shouted Roy while panting
"....."
"KLAUS!! just hold on, bro .. I'm gonna save you .. just don't give up just yet ... you were always telling me not to give up ... it's time for you to do the same ... you're strong Klaus just like your father ... you were always stronger than I am ... and you .. you said we'll always be brothers ... I swear I'm gonna bring us back Klaus ... trust me I will !! " said Roy panting and chocking on defeat..
Klaus raised his hand above his heart and grasped the clothes above it as if it was aching ....
sandman was about to kill Roy but his heart rather, Klaus's heart ached so bad that he retreaded shocked and confused ... he dealt with Klaus's emotions before but these were stronger than ever ...
he ducked his head down .... and for a while he said nothing , Roy thought he made a difference and waited patiently , but then he, or the sandman who possessed him , started giggling from his nose with a cold smile , he kneeled down and took a deep look into Roy's eyes , then said
" I like you Roy .. " with a voice that isn't Klaus's , "you're very persistent , Klaus ..was always hesitated , but you ..you had one will that made you strong enough to survive about 50 deaths .. but , you see... my will is stronger ... you will not end what I've been dying to achieve for centuries !! "
he thence got up ... turned around and walked away into the mist leaving Roy behind alone while his shouting and panting echoed across the dead land .
he looked at his hands and tried to shake them loose but each time he moved the thorns of the branches that tied his body as well as his hands would cut him , his panting got louder .. turned into shrieks , will he stay here forever?! voices of surrender , the heat that associates failure got a good grip around his neck .. he is absolutely losing his mind , life and everything else at this very moment ...
