Millions of years ago,
the calm of the world broke...

A world who used to live under the light,
was now covered in darkness

New creatures appeared,
Strong. Dangerous. Invincible...

The so-called "Nightmares",
monsters at their pure state

Thousands of years passed,
but they kept multiplying

People feared death for the first time...

No one knew how to defeat them,
no one knew how to escape from them,
they just kept teleporting and killing from the back...

People died.
People respawned.
People died.
People took longer to respawn.
People died.
People stopped respawning.
People died.
People died.
People died...

... until...

"Are we really going-", she murmured, taking the other's hand and squeezing it tight.

"It's alright, I won't let you fall", he answered. Looking around, he saw a small branch of a tree that barely entered the ravine. "If I reach that, we can get out of here"

She hesitated. "It doesn't look too strong... what if it breaks and we fall-?"

"That won't happen"

And he lifted his arm to take the branch. It moved down by their weigh, way too down, but it didn't break. He smiled successfully and the other and started climbing

When both were finally out of the ravine, they let themselves fall in the grass, breathing heavily

"That *huff* was close", he exclaimed, chuckling a bit, earning a light punch from the girl

"Never. Again. Alright?", she was frowning, but you could see the small spark of joy in her eyes

"Ok ok don't get angry with me", he paused, getting up. "Let's go back to the village before it gets too late, shall we"

She stood up as an answer and followed the boy

They walked in comfortable silence for a while till they reached their home

The village consisted of one house, and ruins.

It had been destroyed by Nightmares, who attacked the villagers with no mercy. They were the only ones who survived that years ago

He opened the door of their house and entered, followed by his friend. It was simple, having one bathroom, two beds in a room and a small table and kitchen at the entrance

They sat down on the floor, gathering the stuff from their backpacks

"Got everything?", she asked, while taking out what seemed like a dull pearl

He went to the other room and returned with a bucket that seemed to contain some snow. "Everything is here"

She nodded slightly and prepared the cauldron.
