Malice had his Darkness suppress, he leaned against one of the guard rails of a Bridge that was over a Fairfin pool of memories, he wasn't sure why he came there, he wasn't in the mood to eat any of the little Fairfin as they buzzed around, but the Nightmare king mind wandered with the thought of recent events and then the day of his birth...

Malice thought interrupted with a girl voice " there pretty aren't they?" A red hair Dreamer girl in her Human form stood just s little down the bridge from Malice, Dreamwalker was leaning against the rail as well looking to the pool, she had her Fairfin Starburst perched on top of her head

Malice glace over to DW, he knew who she was, the Dreamer girl resembled her brother in a way, the Nightmare king looked back to the pool, his yellow gaze followed some Fairfin flying here and there.
" I remember a time before a Dreamer Lantern and the Fairfin, back when your kind could still walk through dreams" he replied.

Dreamwalker frowned with a confused look at what the man just said " a time before Fairfins? Dreamer has always had Fairfin partners" she paused //walking in dreams? What is he talking about?//

Malice glace over again and smirk with amusement at the Dreamer girl confusion, he folded his hands and rested his chin up on them as his elbows we're on the rail, things had been a lot different before the curse of the Nightmare " long ago, now forgotten in time by most... Before the Nightmare syndrome plagued your kind, the Dreamer's we're much different, there was a time your kind could since the feeling of others, there very touch could claim even the most troubled soul and put them in a peaceful sleep, your kind was not given it's name for no reason little one" he looked the Dreamer girl in the eyes " your kind could walk in others dreams, but they could do more than just that, they had the power to mold the dream as the please, the strongest and most experience could make the dream illusions seen real "

DW listen to the man dressed in black as he spoke " that had to be a really long time ago..." She murmured " I only thought Dreamers could feel and share Feeling by placing we're their gemstones on the forehead is to someone else forehead?" She asked puzzled tapping the center of her forehead with a figure. DW put her hands down and tilted her head " hm, I always have been curious why we are called Dreamers " she thinks about the strange ability " that sounds really cool and weird at the same time " a more confused look crossed the Dreamer girl face " if we could do all of that, then why can't we now?"

Malice snorted " the Dreamer kiss "( he was referring to the pressing of the forehead )" is about all a Dreamer can do now, to feel and share feelings, it's because the gemstone on the forehead is the strongest and most sensitive in absorbing emotions " the Nightmare king put his hands down and just leaned against the rail with an emotionless expression " that should be obvious.... With the birth of the Nightmare..." He said bluntly" Nightmares are a living curse a form of dark magic,...
when Malice the first light Eater was forged by Shoji as gift to impress her father Soledormir..." Malice tipped his head in thought" I often wonder how it was Malice was made? What form of sorcery or Darkness was us? Perhaps the Corruption of the Abyss or chaos Magic? That is something I have never uncovered the truth about but there are countless possibilities..." He thinks out loud.

(Continue...)

Malice slightly grinace at the memories of his first days of life, they we're not Pleasant ones to say the least"
Soledormir had a Dreamer Prince held prisoner, the dark master took Malice and commanded him to feed..." The Nightmare king casually place a hand on his chest, thought his clothing hid it, his Frame still Baird the scar "....Malice feed upon the Prince's Heart reflection and the first Nightmare was born...
Malice was young driven by his instincts to feed and corrupt other Dreamers, Malice wreaked havoc across the realms, but Soledormir wanted more... he wanted the Land of Dreams to fall on it's knees.... In Soledormirs last moments of freedom, he placed a powerful curse on the land of Dreams, it spread across the Dreamers race like a plague and those who were sensitive to the land..."
Dreamwalker had been listening quietly to the horrifying Tale, she placed a hand on her chest and took in a few breaths " y-our saying the land of Dreams is cursed? And that /all Dreamers/ already have a Nightmare in themselves?" She squeak

" Naaa, that can't be right, if that was the case there should be a lot more Nightmares and wouldn't there be no Dreamer by now?" Starburst chimed in on top of her bond Partners head.

Malice snorted and folded his hands again looking out towards the pond " it's ironic you say that little light... It's because of the Fairfins the Nightmare syndrome say dormant " he glanced over at the two he was addressing " when the curse was Place on your kind it affected your kinds ability to dream walk and for those who could awaken... As I'm sure you are aware that Nightmares can Venture into other dreams and turn them into nightmares.... But the Nightmare syndrome also dall's out your sensitivity to feel emotions from others, this is why some believe strong negative emotions can make the Nightmare Inside start to stir, however a Fairfin Bond takes the Dreamers ability to put others to sleep and focus solely on the Nightmare syndrome, keeping them in a dominant sleep"

" Wow! I didn't know I did that! I know I can use my Magic to Brun a Dreamer heart reflection if the infection isn't to severe, but I didn't know I keep the a Nightmare asleep " Starburst replying with wide eyes, DW pick her Bond partner off her head and held her in her arms, stroking the little Fairfin " I didn't know all that ether..." She said then looked to the man again " you said Before that there was a time before the Fairfins? So we're they made? "
Malice keep his gaze to the pond, his face showed no emotion and he stared across the water for a moment before speaking "....the story say that the Fairfins we're born from the tears of the Dreamer Prince who lost his brother to Malice.... That his tears made the first pool with his memories..." He said looking distance in thought " but those are just stories..."

Malice paused he could since Omen drawing near, he knew most the time he could get away with rebelling against Soledormir eyes, but this last time, what happened with Alex and Neveah Killy would not let him off easy. Malice put his hands in his pockets and started to walk away without saying more.

" Hay! Wait I have some questions!"Dreamwalker called out to him

Malice glace over his shoulder " I have an appointment, one that should not take place here " he said calmly and continued on his way, his face hid all emotions even though he knew what was coming, an all out fight with Omen Never ended in the Nightmare king favor.

" That was really weird conversation.... That's why you're not supposed to talk to strangers" Starburst replied
Dreamwalker stood completely baffled by the strange man in Black, and how he knew so much, she Shrugged her shoulders " maybe it was all just a story?"
