The Sun and Moon Cross Paths

The Tournament

It was the day of the tournament...the day Cross would be judge by his strength.

Cross was waiting for the doors to open as he held on his two big knife tightly, a bit nervous that he would fail, and die in the process. He didn't want to disappoint the king, and his people, he just hope that those four days of training was worth it. As he heard the announcement introducing him to the crowd, the doors opened as he was blinded by a ray of sunlight as he walked out. The area was a circle with wooden walls. The people of King Nightmare started to cheer, as Cross felt a bit good, but what he wanted was the approval of Nightmare, he turned around behind him, sitting in his little tower, away from the people was Nightmare, he didn't seem entertain, he looked bored and rolled his eyes at Cross as the feeling of happiness faded away.

The announcement then came back on, introducing the first opponent. A small froggit hopped out, trying to look fierce, the crowded booed at the frog, as Nightmare just looked in more boredom. Cross decided it was best just to give him a quick death since there was no purpose in making him suffer more as Cross quickly ended his life.

As the tournaments went on, near Nightmare castle someone snuck into Nightmares' home. Since the guards were too busy making sure that the tournament went smoothly, it was a good time to free the other guardian, it has been years since they have awoken.

Easily they knew the way, as they walked down into the dungeon. They saw people in cells, begging  and crying for help, "Please...please help..." "I need to go to my family..." "It's dark, it's dark, it's dark". Of course they tried there best to ignore there cries, they didn't know when the tournament would end, and who knows what they can see. King Nightmare has cursed them in there cells with eternal torment, with a ever-lasting life, making them immortal and in mental pain as well. Who know what they have done to Nightmare, but it's best not to get distracted by them, they need to free someone else.

As they past the prison cells, they approached a fairly big door. They opened it and standing there in the light was Dream trapped in stone. The person revealed themselves to the statue, "Hello, Dream...it's me...your apprentice Khole" Khole said rubbing there cat ears, as they summoned a book and other ingredients. They started to combine the ingredients, they mixed liquids and flowers of sorts into a little bowl, they then took buttercup petals and lined them up to the bowl and the statue. They then looked back at the book and chanted the words, "Somnia vera facit".

The statue started to shine a bright light as it started to break. Once Khole stopped chanting, the glowing light stopped leaving big cracks in the statue, "W-What?" Khole said in confusion. Soon enough, the statue started to break by what was inside it. Dream was breaking his prison of stone, as Khole came over and helped him get out, "Sir Dream are you ok?!" Khole asked, "Y-Yes...I'm fine Khole..." Dream said as they walked out of the statue, "Sir Dream, Sir Nightmare has turned you into stone and as taken over the whole multiverse as his own!" Khole informed Dream, "I know...I was aware of everything because Nightmare told me...but I'm guessing he didn't know I was conscious" Dream said.

"I have decided something Sir Dream! I wanted to start an empire, with you as the leader!" Khole said, "Yes, that is a good idea, we need to restore the balance..." Dream said, "Great! From this day forward we are apart of the Sun Empire!" Khole said as they made a movement with there hands, causing magic to focus on there finger as Khole drew on Dream face as they drew a sign on Dream and there own face. It looked like a sun with a dot in the middle, suddenly there clothes started to change as well, it looked new and different.

"I just wanted to give us new clothes! I'm so happy that my master is back!" Khole said wagging there tail with happiness, "I'm happy I get to see you again Khole!" Dream said patting there golden head as Khole wiggled there ears. "I have already have a plan to show ourselves to the people, but that requires you to fight...do you think you can do it?" Khole asked, "I can dish out anything you give at me!" Dream said, "Good! Put your hood on we have to go!" Khole said putting there hood on as well as Dream as they left the castle unnoticed.
