Dream was on his knees and struggled to get up. "Brother stop this!!" he yelled tear falling down his face.
"Stop calling me that !!! I will stop that once and for all !!"Nightmare screamed.
His eyes widened as Nightmare took his brother soul and destroyed it. Taking the host of the body before it dusted.
He gasped as more tears fell. The scream drowned out as he watched Nightmare Leave.
Dreamtale of its former glory was no more. The only one was left was Dream. The prince of Goodness.
Dream sat next to the stump of what used to be the tree. He held his knees close as the sun started to rise again. He took a deep breathe as he looked at it. A soft melody escaping him
Fate has been cruel and order unkind
How could I have hurt you this way?
The blame was my own; the punishment, yours
The monsters are silent today
But into the stillness, I'll sing you a song
And I will regret my choices
Till my tired eyes and my lullabies
Have carried me softly to sleep
Once did a monster who shone with good
Look out for his home and sigh
He smiled and said, "Surely, there is no monster
So good and so well loved as I"
So great was his soul and so brilliant hi glory
That long was the shadow he cast
Which fell dark upon the twin brother he loved
And grew only darker as days and nights passed
Lullay Nightmare, think what you were done
And the mistakes that I made
Bear up my cries, through the world
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space
Carry the darkness and the regret I feel
And carry my sorrow in kind
Night, you were loved so much more than you knew
Forgive me for being so blind
Soon did that monster take notice that others
Did not give his brother his due
And neither had he loved him as he deserved
He watched as his brother's unhappiness grew
But such is the way of the apple, it sweetly
Takes hold of the mind of its host
And that foolish monster let his brother die
The one who he never loved in life
Lullay Nightmare, think what you were done
And the mistakes I have made
Bear up my cries, through the world
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space
Carry the darkness and the regret that I feel
And carry my sorrow in kind
Night, you were loved so much more than you knew
May you finally rest in peace
And forgive me for being so blind
The years now before me
Fearful and unknown
I never imagined
I'd face them on my own
May these thousand winters
Swiftly pass, I pray
I love you; I miss you
All these miles away
May all my dreams be sweet tonight
Safe upon my memory
And know not of sadness, pain, or care
And when I dream, I'll fly away and see you
Sleep...
The dream felt his tears run down his face as he slowly fell asleep. The dreams of him and his brothers playing with each other. He just wanted his brother back. He never meant to forget him. He never meant for this to happen. He wished he could change the past.
But he must move on. He never noticed the story that laid next to him. The brother watching him. The night was there always there for his brother.
