Inside the nightmares of Ember, her demons chases her relentlessly.

One was tall, buff and ugly. He had massive horns, razor sharp teeth, and growled things like, "Ugly! Disgusting! Monster! Scum! Mistake!"

Another one, relatively small and skinny. White, fragile skin. Two big, black holes in her head where her eyes should be. She crawled, disembowled, trailing blood behind her. She hissed her words. "Come here, darling! Don't run away! I want you..!"

A frantic, fast, six legged monster that bled from the mouth. "Don't let her get away! Kill her! Kill her! Kill her! Die! DIE DIE DIE!"

A corpse of a orange dragon screaming, "YOU DID THIS TO ME! YOU! EMBER! YOU KILLED ME!"

An insane, half dead, seductive, three headed dragon. "Where are you going, lover? I thought you said you wanted me! I want you too! Don't run away, lover!"

Cynder. "You'll never be me! You're weak! You're ugly! You're not worth anyone's time! You should die!"

A multitude of angry dragonflies buzzing in her ears, "KILL YOURSELF! KILL YOURSELF! KILL YOURSELF!"

Ember could almost never wake from these dreams. She was their slave until her body decided it was okay to open her eyes... But even then, the nightmare did not end...
