I woke up around 1:00. Once again, I couldn't remember what woke me. I got out the room, when the screaming started.
"Ahhhhhh!" Someone across my room shouted.
"Asriel!" I ran into his room. He was shivering on his bed, curled up in a ball, tears pouring out of his eyes.
"R-Rhion?" He looked up.
"What's wrong?" I asked sitting down next to him.
"I-I had a nightmare."
I wrapped my arms around him. "Want to tell me about it? You don't have to if you don't want to." He shook his head.
"Can...can I ask you a favor?" I nodded. "Anything."
"Can...can you stay with me for the night? Please?" I nodded and got under the covers with him. He still shivered. I knew what to help him. Something that reminded me of home. I began to sing.

You, are the oceans great waves
Destined to seek, life beyond the shore, just out of reach.
Yet, the waters ever change,
Flowing like time, the path is yours to climb.

He calmed down. I hear him gently snoring. I wrap my arms around him. That was an old song Impa would sing to me if I was feeling restless. I didn't sing frequently, but Zelda told me my voice was beautiful. I soon fell asleep with him.

I traveled along a hallway, looking like the one I found Asriel in. A kid stood there, a knife in one hand. They seamed to glitch out. I was stoped.
"Heya," I said, my voice slightly deeper, "you've been busy, huh? So, I've got a question for you. Do you think, even the worse person can change? That everyone can be a good person, if they just try?" They took a step forward. I laughed. "Welp, sorry old lady. This is why I don't make promises." The room went black. I could only see the kid now. "It's a beautiful day outside, birds are singing, flowers blooming. On days like these, kids like you, should be burning in hell."

I sat up in bed, my heart pounding. I grabbed my shirt. What had happened? That dream was totally random. I wouldn't say something like that. Would I? Asriel started to rouse himself from sleep. He yawned.
"Good morning Rhion," he said a bit sleepily.
"Morning Azzy," I replied. I covered my mouth.
"Sorry, I don't know where-." He hugged me tightly.
"I like that name." I smiled.
"Glad you do."

I was still a little worried about the dream after breakfast. Usually, my dreams meant something. Was that a dream of the future? Or the past? I opened up a book in the library. The history of monsters. Maybe it would help me. I flipped to a page about Mt. Ebot.
"Rhion!" Someone screamed. Asriel ran in the library, tailed by Tails.
"What's wrong?" I asked concerning, shouting the book tightly.
"It's Midna! Something took her!" Tails yelled.
"What?! Where?!"
"We were playing near the mountain, when something snacked her up. It took her over the mountain."
"We have to get her."
"Wait, you're willing to break the rules?"
"I'll do anything for a friend." They were quiet. I never broke rules, but I was willing to help her.
"What are we waiting for? Let's get our friend back!"

We climbed the mountain. Tails was roped in behind me, along with Asriel. We couldn't go around, but we could climb it. My muscles shook and ached, but I never slowed down.
"Can...can we please take a break?" Tails asked.
"We're almost there, just a little further," I told him. A few feet later, we got to the top. I pulled the two of them up. Asriel collapsed immediately.
"S-sorry. I...slowed us down."
"You didn't," I grabbed his arms. "You both did well. I should have taken more breaks for you two." He smiled. Suddenly, something roared above us. I don't know how I knew something was going for him, but I pushed Asriel out of the way, as something grabbed my shoulder and picked me up into the air as Asriel and Tails shouted.
