Dreamland Hunters

Nightmare stared at one of the creatures he swore to destroy. The little ball of shadowed consciousness stared back. The pain Nightmare felt seemed to dissipate, and Nightmare could feel his mind begin to clear. The spirit he was hunting inched closer to him, carefully. Nightmare could see the caution taken in each step, but he could now also see the curiosity, and most baffling, the worry.

"Are you alright?"

Nightmare couldn't believe it, these spirits, they not only had intelligence, but empathy and emotions as well. They weren't just mindless beasts on their way to destroy everything. Had everything Nightmare been told about these spirits been wrong?

--
Or; Nightmare and Dream are not only the guardians of the tree of feelings, but also the dreamscape. They have been tasked with the job of hunting down invading spirits in the dreamscape for years. After an incident involving an apple, Nightmare begins to question why they must drive out these spirits by any means necessary.

Or, or; I redesigned Nightmare and accidentally made a whole AU out of it. Oops?

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️

This book is about villains and will have gore, cursing, death, and talk of traumatic experience including suicide, depression, starvation as well as a few misrepresented coping mechanisms both healthy, and unhealthy.

This is probably my darkest story yet. Be safe. If you don't think this story is right for you, then please go find another. Make safe and smart choices. There will be more specific trigger warnings at the beginning of relevant chapters.

Thank you! :D
