it's beautiful！！

Hello~

I still really love today's cover XD

Thank you!

Fiona was extremely confused and frustrated at this point. "...Uh... Yeah... It was... Good. And nice... And... Yeah..." She paused, just thinking about it for a while, looking like she was having an existential crisis.

Then she went quiet and kind of just... Took in all Eater had to say... Though, she still looked pretty agitated. "Danny... I'll remember that.
I was there when that happened!! I thought it was just a weird dream I had last night...
I'm glad she's ok... And can't get Nightmare Syndrome anymore..." The Elemental said, slowly getting more and more tired as she thought about everything at once. She paused momentarily... And eventually, it hit her, "WAIT, Purity can't get Nightmare Syndrome! How did that--WHAT?! SINCE WHEN WAS THERE A CURE AND HOW DID WE GET IT?!" She exclaimed.

...Then she went quiet, looking from Eater to Rahab as the Shadow Hunter expressed his disbelief, and the Nightmare retorted... And now she was getting angry at everything, both because there was just /so much/ going on at once, and because the conversation seemed to be getting heated.
...She didn't know what to think any more, but she could tell she was letting herself get a little /too/ angry--it was especially obvious with how tense she was and how she was trying to strangle an invisible something again...

"OKAY!!" She suddenly shouted, then pointed to Rahab, "You don't believe anything because YOU DIDN'T SEE IT, right?! Yeah, it's crazy, but all this stuff /DID/ happen! And a lot of it matters to the Keyhunters!"
Then she pointed to Eater, "And YOU! You've been being REALLY WEIRD this whole time! I have /NO IDEA/ why you've been being so nice! Or why you're talking about /PROTECTING/ Purity now?!"

She paused and took a deep breath after shouting so much, "AHHHH, I CAN'T STOP YELLING NOW, SO I GOTTA GO." The Elemental immediately turned around and started storming through the hall.

And Eater was likely about to do the same but for Fiona, except she didn't really leave an opportunity open and started storming off on her own... His shoulders slump a little and he tips his head in confusion as he watches her go, then glances back to Rahab with the same rather confused expression, and stays quiet for a moment as he tries to figure out /which/ point the griffin shapeshifter was talking about. "Yeah, it's probably best for her to go cool off..." the Nightmare quietly says, not getting the right point--but then he slaps his hand on his forehead and declares: "Ah moons, I forgot to ask if she has light magic for Glory!!"
He's tempted to pursue Fiona and ask her again, but something tells him now's not the time... so instead, the Nightmare sighs and scratches the side of his head. "Ah, well... I'll ask her later... Hey, I never introduced myself properly, did I? I'm Dreameater, but I'm sure you can tell that everyone just calls me Eater," he says, holding his hand out for a handshake.

-

Rahab gave Eater a suspicious eye when the Nightmare introduced himself and held a hand out. He thought about it a moment before finally taking his hand and giving a single firm shake. "Eater... The Nightmare who eats human food." It was hard to tell by his tone whether he was teasing or mocking or serious, but the fact that he wasn't attacking Eater just because Fiona was gone was a somewhat good sign.

"Thanks. That's a good tactic to follow." Boreas remarked, following her directions straight to the infirmary. When he arrived, there were a few other patients being treated and nurses doing their jobs.
"Could use some help here!" The Elemental announced their presence and brought Alex to one of the beds, setting her down on it. "Whew. I hope that wasn't too rough of a trip."

-

Alexandrea let out a breath when she was finally set down, "Not too bad" she smiles, "I'm really tired, this was quite a day" she flops her head back on the pillow, one arm draped over her belly.

"Boreas" Alex looks to him, "What do you think of Malice? Be honest"

Catch still had a hard time believing Blue, the eclipse didn't seem like a good thing // maybe it's just because I don't understand it...// 
The red hair nodded his head respectfully to the couple and then followed Eira out the door, he was expecting a scolding but instead was thanked, a small smile came to Catch lips "your welcome, I always tried..." It was hard for him to say, he knew failed in the past and he didn't want to do it again.

-

Qui just sighed softly" ah, kind reminds me of some someone to...but I don't think you ever freak out if I left the room " she whispered to Blue

-

Blue sighs, not moving yet and just listening to Qui. He chuckled, "No, I would have gone insane a long time ago if that was the case" he sighs lightly, "So many crazy adventures so far and so many still to come" He takes both her hands in his, gently squeezing them.
-

Eira moved her free hand to softly cup Catch's cheek, and she met his gaze quietly, searching for the right words to speak to his heart. "I know you do. The way you show your love is to fight for me with all your heart and strength, no matter what it costs you. It means so much to me, your sacrifice and love." The shiftress gave a faint smile. "There is something else that's magical about your love, and that's when you use it to put your trust in me. Your trust gives me strength, Catch. When I know that you rely on me, it gives me the confidence to keep fighting and to stand up, knowing that I will see you again. Even if we're rooms or oceans or worlds apart, your loving trust in me unites our hearts. I'm torn without you. But in truth, we are forever connected by love."

Crimsons knew a lie when he heard one...most the time and when the Dreamer said she was 'fine' he knew she was lying... But he didn't get the vibe it was to trick him in the way of using him, it was more she was lying to herself....

The dragon shapeshifter look down at his papers on the floor when Purity brought up finding a cure, Crimson was quiet for a moment looking at his notes... He moved a few around on the floor matching some of the together " a cure is possible..." He murmured " for a Dreamer like yourself it would be easier... Remove the light Eater, you Remove the curse, it's that simple..." He then move his papers around again making a difference display, he knew what Nightmare really we're and if they could be removed from the Dreamer without killing the Dreamer they be cure but an an established Nightmare? He wasn't sure about that one, he knew a light Eater could be ripped out but the Dreamer body was dead...their was no life in it except what the light Eater provided, Crim wasn't sure how to tell the White Dreamer this...that she was looking for a false hope...but the Dragon shapeshifter thought shifted when Purity inquired what an Light Eater was then a light bulb pop in his head // AHHH! I TOLD EATER I WOULDN'T TELL THIS CHICK WHAT A LIGHTEATER IS!// Crimsons stared at Purity trying to think of something, ANYTHING " haha yeah... about that..." he looked down at his notes fiddling with them nervously // I can just lie! What, that not right... I don't know? She not smart enough to know right? I could probably get away with it...i really shouldn't lie to one of the key Hunters... But I said I wouldn't tell her!// After a moment of intense debating in his head Crimson finally gave a goofy smile " well you see light Eater is what you call the curse in its purest form...it's a black gooey substance that eat away at the Dreamer heart and it's why a Nightmare has black Blood " // it's not technically a lie, i just didn't give the whole story but she doesn't need to know that //

Arthur whistle [ wooh that a relief to know, I would have felt silly if the world you come from actually did numbers differently] he then things about chaos Magic " Soledormir has a nasty habit of graining the magic energy right out of his victims... it's called chaos touch, he not the only one who can do this, there's quite a few different dark creatures that can do something similar but Sol is the worst of them all...but I'll tell you a little secret~ ]

-

"Chaos touch.." Crystal repeated, thinking about it, "I've been drained of my energy on multiple occasions, but never by the force of someone else literally taking it from me. It doesn't sound like it would be a pleasant experience.." She thought back to the couple times she had Shattered while using her abilities, and wondered if it felt similar to that. Crystal was quiet, waiting for the king to continue, "A secret?"

I think that everything from last week

I'm going to work on replys

Or nap

This cover is so fun X'DD

Nice work on all that shading and details!!

Thank you! I thought I do something different xD

How are you doing?

[ It's definitely not pleasant experience, it's like having a body parts ripped off except it's your magic been ripped from you...but that we're my secret is... Soledormir has a blind spot... I'll tell you a little story about the day I won a fight against the chaos King... ] Arthur said and thinks back to a time were he made Soledormir very unhappy...
[ I and the other kings didn't know this at the time but we found out who Solarysse really was, that he was actually Soledormir, Sol made a boastful challenge when he revealed himself, saying that if anyone in the room could make him bleed he spare the others... That was quite the challenge, make him bleed and he let all the king and queen go or he kill us all right then and there...I remember glancing around at the others, there was a lot on the line and we all knew it... Ruler of several different world we're there and Sol could wipe us all out in one go if he wanted to, leaving our people without any leader, it would bring chaos to our worlds...

sooooo I did the most practical thing, I accept the challenge! I remember look on everyone face, they we're certain they all were going to die!... To be honest I been lying if I said I wasn't scared, who am I kidding? I was terrified! A human up against a the chaos King?! There was plenty of magic and powerful creatures in that room and her go Arthur putting his foot in his mouth big time, pretty much everyone thought we were all going to die that day...

Even Sol had a baffled dumb look on his face like I just said something stupid.. I probably did but I stepped up to the plate and surprise myself along with everyone else, I did actually make Sol bleed! I cut his right side of his face and cut his right eye, he wasn't to happy about that, oh no he wasn't, he said some pretty nasty things I won't tell you, there not for a lady ears like yourself but you get the idea he was furious but Sol did leave, and take about the look on everyone face when that happened!... it took me a minute to even get a grip of myself and even longer from stop shacking... Maybe it was just dumb /luck/ but from that day forth Sol hated my guts even more...]

The king of old then go on to explain what happened [ I had my own thoughts on why i bested Soledormir, he let me and it was all just a trick or something my nephew theorize, chaos magic take power from others but if that person doesn't have magic in the first place it can't take what not there...

And I'm sure that why Sol hates humans, most human are born without magic besides a few special individual like yourself, it's like this in most realms and to Sol we're worthless because we don't have fancy dancy magic... He can't steals and twist what's not there. Lucky us and the Venatavis they don't have magic ether and that why Faye set things up so my bestest friend Oreo would be a spy, man you want to talk about heading some crazy story he got me beat ] he was rambling about his bubby Gorgeon.

Purity listens quietly as Crimson mumbles about a cure for the Nightmare curse, and she watches him intently when he goes quiet and moves his papers around, debating herself if she should ask anything more until he stares back at her... //... Is there something about Light Eaters he doesn't want to say...?// the Dreamer considers, giving Crimson a concerned look in return for his goofy smile, and she listens to what he says. "Okay..." she mumbles in reply--thinking about living black goo reminds her just a little too much of that goo she threw up that turned into a bug...

But, for now, the white Dreamer doesn't think too hard on it, mostly because Purity subconsciously doesn't want to make connections between a gooey bug inside Dreamers and Nightmare Syndrome herself, so she shakes her head and decides to focus on something else instead. "W-well... anyway, speaking of Nightmares, you said you met Eater and learned he's weird? Do you have any idea what's going on with him?"

( HELLO)

(HOIIIYYAAAA!!!)

(Howdy)

(I'm tired)

(Hi Blood!)

( Hello Blood! )

(how are you guys doing?

Lilly I know your tired x'D
I hope you get some rest soon)

(How're you?)

(Yeah, me too X'D

It seems like it's gonna be another slow day, at least at the start here XP )

(I'm borrrrred

Where is everyone?)

(I dunnoooo)

(HIYAAH.)

(Hi Fluffy!)

( FLUFFY!! HELLO!)

(Hewwo. :>

How are you guys?)

(Heyo!
I didn't realize that today's date fell on a Sunday, so I will maybe be in and out a bit for a while I'm honestly not sure. x))

(Tired Fluffy, and I want to talk X'D

Hi Galaxy! That's alright, it's good to have you here for now though X3 )

(Hey Galaxy!
...I second what Lilly said. XD)

( I think it be a slow slow start but that's normally how it is and then I'll probably get moving towards the end )

( hello Fluffy and Galaxy!

That ok Galaxy take your time :))

(I have a need for speed and it's not my turn for responding yet! I'mmm twitchy!)

(I'm hungry, I haven't eaten a thing today)

( go eat )

(No)

(Haven't got any food :'D)

( that no good :s )

(Yikes :s )

"I bet. Seems like every day is pretty wild with this group." Boreas stated, folding his arms.
At Alex's question, he went silent for a while, obviously thinking deeply about the subject.
"...Well, what can I say about the guy? We were co-workers for a while... At that time, he was a Heaven's Blade who went by the name Urufu, and I considered him a pal.
...Now I come to find out he's actually the King of Nightmares--the King of things I'm supposed to be hunting down and protecting people from. And if /that/ weren't enough, now he's in a relationship--which is /absolutely unheard of/ when it comes to Nightmares!
...Hard to believe he used to make fun of me for never being able to get a date." He muttered, then paused, "...But, his out of the ordinary behavior happens to be one of the reasons I've been neutral, and I'm going to stay like that until I have a better understanding of what's happening.
So, long story short...
...I think he's alright. For now."

Fiona wandered through the hallway for a long while, kind of just walking the anger and confusion and everything else out of herself. However, she did stay near the vicinity of where Eater and Rahab were, just in case a fight started. //They'd better not start killing each other, or I'll bash /both/ of their faces in!
...Ugh... I still have so many questions... But... That's part of the reason I needed a break...// She started to slow down, lifting up her left hand to look at her claws. They still had an orange hue to them, but it seemed to be slightly darker than last time. The Elemental frowned at the sight, //...They'll go away... The light magic is still working... I just need to keep my cool...//

Eventually, she came to a stop and sat down with her back against the wall, then she reached back into her hair, pulling out her diary, and her very, very tiny pencil to write with. She opened her diary to a page absolutely filled to the brim with notes and doodles illustrating said notes, then quickly scrawled some things down in the few blank spaces, some of which included:
'Rahab is Eira's brother. Doesn't believe anything. What's his deal?! Is he gonna help us or what does he want?', 'Eater's acting really nice for some reason.', 'Nightmare Syndrome CURE?', 'Purity free from Nightmare Syndrome? Puked up Nightmare bug-thing.'

Then she stopped, thinking about that for a moment. //...I feel like I should ask someone else about that... I dunno if Eater was telling the truth... But it makes sense... Kind of? Because the bug thing is what Nightmares actually look like, right? That makes it sound even more gross, though... She pretty much puked up a Nightmare...// She made a rather disgusted face at the thought, //Poor Purity... But if it means no more Nightmare Syndrome, it was worth it, right...?
...But... What about that last vision...// Thinking about what they'd seen made her start to feel sick. //...Just watch out for her... Watch out for everyone.// And that final thought was the last note she wrote down.

love the cover

Eater just gives Rahab a faint smirk as he shakes his hand, nodding his head as he replies, "Yup. The Nightmare who eats human food, is really good at babysitting kids, and is helping the good guys save the Realms from Soledormir." He laughs nervously before putting his hands in his pockets, pausing just a moment to think. "... So... What've you been up too? And why're you here?"

(Hi Turtle! :) )

"Sounds like you two have quite a history" Alexandrea smiles, "I understand staying neutral, it is a hard thing to wrap your head around" her smile fades as she looks up at the light fixtures.

"Thank you Boreas" Alex says quietly, "For saving me and not killing Mal" she sighs, "I'd like some time to myself, to heal and think some more on things. I'll be fine on my own now"

Boreas smiled faintly, "No problem. Glad I could help." He nodded at her request, then started heading out of the room, but he looked back at her and added a couple more comments as he left, "It was nice meeting you, Alex. Take it easy."

As he left the infirmary, his mind was buzzing with thoughts, //Welp, I met Malice's girlfriend... And it seems like they're back together, despite the fact that he nearly killed her--but it wasn't his fault because he was commanded to do it against his will.

...That makes sense.//

Standing in silent Dreamcatcher listen to his wife words, he would do anything for her Catch wanted to protect and look after Eira, he would be lying if he said he wasn't scared of something bad happening to her, the event five years ago waiting at the Shadowhunter school still haunted him, that Eira never showed up and despite all of his searching he never found her...

Then Eira show up when it felt like there wasn't much /hope/ in finding her alive, Catch didn't want to lose her again and each time something happened to her when he wasn't there made the moonblood get more clingy and more paranoid in protecting Eira. He wanted to keep his word to her that he could protect and defend her but he felt like he was a failure...

His emerald green eyes searched his wife's, he didn't think of it that way...but as he took consideration in her words, he had been so overwhelmed with fear over losing Eira that he didn't trust her, the truth was he didn't trust himself that he could protect her...

// I give her strength? After everything I done, that didn't feel like trust, I been like a whining fawn how can she find strength in that?... //But as the Griffin shapeshifter continue to speak, her words move him // ... We are connected by our love for each other... That will be the same no matter what, she truest me and I need to do the same for her...//

Catch move his hand to Eira cheek " I love you so much "His eyes look down and confessed"... but I'm scared I can't be all that you need...that I not strong enough to protect you when you need me..." He look back on the times they were children with hopes and dreams, how Eira use to be, it had been a long time since then but he remembered how she had been "... I know your a strong woman, Eira, I know you are... you come though so much " he look back into the Griffin shapeshifter eyes, he moved his hands to take her's

(Hi Turtlee! )

( I'm in a novel mood xp why I don't know )

(that took a really long time xp)

Alexandrea smirked, "Nice meeting you as well Boreas" she giggles. //What a way to meet someone, finding me nearly dead and my...b-b...// she feels her face flush, making her feel light headed.

//Mal// Alex looks out the window, sighing deeply, "What a day" she pulls the sheets over herself, closing her eyes to rest.

After writing things down and trying to sort out her thoughts, Fiona put her pencil back into her hair and flipped the pages to the one where she'd drawn the group. She smiled faintly--the picture always made her happy. Then she flipped through the pages... Going backwards this time and eventually stopping at a certain page marked by a purple and gold ribbon...

This one made her smile again, but it was more of a sad smile. //Man... This stuff has been super tough... But I bet if you were here, you could figure it all out in no time. Don't worry though, I'm not giving up! I'm going to help these guys as much as I can--and hey! I even figured out one of the mysteries we were trying to crack! Though, now I've got a few more to add to that... One of those is about you, y'know...
But, if we found Boreas, I'm sure we can find you, too. So, wherever you are, hang in there, Lockey...// As she stared at the page, there was something else that caught her eye... A little doodle of herself wielding Shockwave.

//...I haven't paid much attention to Shockwave...// Fiona tiredly thought, reaching back and drawing her Great Sword, //Yeah... JEEZ! How long has it been since I /cleaned/ you? A year...? You need some maintenance, buddy...!//
She reached back into her hair, digging around for something she could use... But not having much luck at that point, //...Oh yeah... I forgot, the thing I /used/ to use got messed up with zombie guts... I trashed it...// She frowned, putting her diary away, then getting up while still holding her sword. //Guess I gotta find a new thing to use.// Thus, with her new mission in mind, she set off, re-tracing her steps back towards Eater and Rahab (Still staying nearby, just in case), and checking any unlocked doors she could find.

(FOONA LORE!?)

(FOONA LORE!!)

Crimson took his hand to his chin in thought as he looked at his paperwork before coming to the conclusion " Eater is messed up" he said bluntly, the shapeshifter then picked up a color crown and took a blank paper then started to write on it " Eater said he has a seal...that a moon Blood put it on him but he doesn't know what it could be... Moonblood are capable of powerful magic if the legends are true but I won't know what kind of seal was put on Eater until I speak with him or..." The red Prince glanced over his shoulder at her so he could catch a glimpse of her reaction " or I dissect the Nightmare to find out just what going on with him..." His shoulder hide his smirk, he was teasing but didn't show it...but at the same time he might be able to find something out if he did dissect the Nightmare but that means Killing him and Crim kinda like Eater, he was an odd Nightmare

Eira listened to Catch with a sympathetic look, understanding why he felt so protective of her. She chuckled faintly and smiled up at him. "What are talking about? You've always been everything I need," she murmured. "I fell in love with you and married you for who you -are-, not so that you would chisel yourself into some super hero for me. You don't have to do everything for me. I just need to know that you still love me."
//I haven't always been there for you either... I ran away from you for years, until fate flung us back at each other... But now that we're together, I have to try again. I have to do this in a better way, and that it to trust him no matter what.//
A frown flitted across her features. "I think I've finally accepted that we are going through trials right now, and they won't allow us to always be there for each other. We can't stand still anymore. But that doesn't mean we can't dance through it together. We're a team, and we will learn to work through blindfolds and trust falls. We can do it so long as we are always trusting one another, even with our eyes closed," Eira said, ending with a smile.

(OOOOH)

(AAH.

Eira and Catch are so sweet. X'3)

(Yay, I'm glad you think so x'3)

( Ohhh?

Ahhh?
Uhh?

X'3)

(... Oh dear, my cell phone think that Catch things Eira has a lobster for him, instead of love him :'D )

(Oh my goodness. X'D)

(Turkeys, Steaks and Lobsters)

Crystal didn't like the mental image that came to her mind when Arthur mentioned getting body parts ripped off, so she quickly pushed it far away and focused on everything that came next.
"Wow.. That was insanely brave of you." She said after the story the king told her, listening to what he then said next, "I guess that's a reason to hate humans.." she added thoughtfully and eventually tilted her head, "Being a spy sounds like it would get you stories to tell," she agreed with a little nod.

...It took a few minutes, but Fiona eventually stumbled across a bathroom. She didn't quite know that was what it was, the only thing she knew was that it had TOWELS! "Awww yeah, I did it!" She declared victoriously to herself, doing a little fist-pump.

Fiona picked up a white towel and tried her very best to clean Shockwave off. She got quite a bit of it, but there was a lot of junk that still remained. Since she hadn't cleaned it in so long, a bunch of mystery goop had dried and stuck to it and it was super gross. //Eeugh, this is super gross... I'm gonna need something else to get the rest off... But at least I got a little.//

She then glanced to the towel, realizing that it /definitely/ wasn't white anymore. //This isn't mine... So I should really clean it off...// The Elemental thought to herself, sheathing Shockwave and starting to search for a way to do so. She soon spotted the rows of sinks behind her, and let out a gasp as she jumped up and darted over to one. //This thing... It's called a 'sink,' right? Don't they do stuff with water...?//

She poked the nozzle, then glanced to the handle on top of it. Then she poked that, too, which caused the water to come on. The Elemental jumped back, slightly startled by it, both because of how sudden it was, and also because... Water and her didn't mix. //Okay... Just... Need to do this carefully... I'm not Purity, but I gotta take inspiration if I wanna clean this thing the best I can!//

( for the love of anything good don't try the blue raspberry peeps! There nasty! )

(She got the lobsters for him)

(I forgot to reply :')

Rahab eyed Eater suspiciously as he pulled his hand back and casually wiped it off on his coat. "Right, right..." He put his hands on his hips and furrowed his brows in thought. "Well, I had been on my way to the library, but these cursed corridors aren't making that easy on me. I hear these Vaseterms have a wealth of knowledge," he explained as he glanced around the hall.

A small smile came to Catch lips," I do love you " he wanted to be a hero for Eira but hearing her encouraging words was relieving to him, that she loved him for who -he is- and not something had to strive to be, he didn't have to be the perfect superhero or his most recent stress a prince... He just had to be himself who loved her and that was something he did.

The Dreamer agreed that they were going through trials but they would face them together " we have a long way to go, but I think we're getting an idea on what way to go " he squeezed her hand " we will do it together " Catch was feeling better, he decided to throw in a small tease " even if we run into a few walls on the way, we'll get there eventually" he was referring to the blind leading the blind

Again, Purity only listened quietly with a thoughtful look on her face while Crimson explained his thoughts... up until he paused and made his other option...

It doesn't click right immediately, but when it does, the Dreamer jumps and gasps, "Di... /dissect him?!/ Oh moons...!!" she exclaims in horror at the thought! ... Then goes quiet for a few more seconds, remembering... "... But you wouldn't do that, you told me just before that you didn't want to kill him..." Purity quietly notes, narrowing her eyes slightly.

Eater shrugs at Rahab's comment about the "wealth of knowledge," but briefly glances around before looking back to Rahab, "Yeah, this place is huge, I could try and help you find it maybe? ... Maybe I'll find someone to help me get some extension cords or light magic there too," he suggests, mumbling the last part to himself.

After a while of gingerly nudging the towel into the water, Fiona eventually just dumped the entire thing in the sink. The towel was definitely bigger than the little bathroom-sized sink was, but the Elemental was a bit too distracted with cleaning thoughts to notice. //I'm missing something...
...Oh yeah! The bubble stuff! I think that's what this is...?// She took a soap container from its place next to the sink, opened it, and after discovering that it was indeed the 'bubble stuff,' she dumped that in there, too. Then she tried to clean the towel thoroughly, yet carefully, not wanting to stay in contact with the soapy water for too long. But at that point, that was kind of impossible...
...Especially since the sink was overflowing now. "Oh JEEZ." Fiona exclaimed, quickly floating into the air to avoid getting her boots wet while simultaneously lunging forward for the handle... And with a solid 'CRACK' she proceeded to accidentally break the entire thing, handle, nozzle, and all off of the sink.

//...Uh oh.//

Before she could do anything else, water practically erupted from it like a volcano.
"Aaahhhhh!!! WATER EVERYWHERE, AHHHHHHHH!!!" She zipped out of the bathroom, slamming the door behind her. "OKAY. I MESSED UP. Uh... I should... Maybe tell someone about this...?" She glanced at the broken part of the sink in her hand and sighed, "...I can't do anything right. I guess I'll just tell them... I don't know how to sink...?" Water started seeping out from under the door, gathering at her feet. "...Someone needs to fix this, that's the important part... IT'S GONNA FLOOD EVERYTHING."

(Fiona is too good X'D )

(Thank youuuu! X'3)

(Does Fiona need help?... x'D)

(Probably. XD)

Eira smiled when Catch agreed that he loved her. "I think so too... And no matter where we end up, we'll still have each other." She let go of his hands after one last squeeze. She couldn't help but laugh a bit at her husband's teasing. "Unless your Moonnlood powers somehow help you to not do that... You have a lot of surprises up your sleeves," she noted with a raised brow.

Rahab began to walk down the hall as Eater spoke. "You can come if you want, though I dunno what a Nightmare would accomplish in a library," he said frankly. //Though, with how unusual this guy is, he might enjoy reading or stories or something else...// He shrugged. "I've got solutions for lighting. I've spent the past however long underground, after all." Rahab was about to take a corner when he heard a somewhat nearby shout, which made him stop. "That sounds familiar..." With a frown, the Shadow Hunter marched down the other hall until he spotted Fiona standing in front of a closed door with a puddle at her feet and a rather unlikely tool in hand. "Foona? What are you doing?"

[ nah, not really... my wife when she was mad was more scarier] Arthur teased, he knew the power of Soledormir and that the chaos King for something you did not mess with lately, he honestly viewed himself as extremely lucky but his playful talk was just how the king was and one of the many reasons Sol hated his guts

[ Yup, we stink, we're boring, and we suck, human for the win!] The human king chuckled, then made a serious comment [ yeah, but we still have the problem of him just killing us, that not cool ]

Arthur laugh thinking about some of the crazy stuff Gorgeon told him about [ yeahhhh, the death dealer family are pretty whacked out... I have no idea how Oreo survive so long just with that nutty family ] he pause [ I didn't even know just how nutty they really we're until he sent the message, Sol always made a reputation of being a diabolical giant monstrosity that destroyed worlds with ease not a guy who set at a dining table eating dinner casually with his family and my buddy... Apparently Sol has a thing about losing his socks or head...that happened a lot I guess...]

Following along with Rahab, Dreameater huffs at first, thinking about the library in Void's palace and what he accomplished there and smirking... but then he tips his head when Rahab comments about lighting and starts to answer, "Lighting? What? No, I need the cords for a fridge and..."

... But he likewise stops when Rahab does, and frowns at the water escaping under the door before even looking at Fiona, "I take it the Vaseterm are going to have something else to take care of...?"

Fiona's eyes widened when Rahab and Eater arrived and asked their questions. "...Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh..." She continued, a guilty look coming across her face as she hesitated to answer. The Elemental finally shut her eyes tightly and bluntly stated, "...Yeah. I broke the sink." She held out the nozzle and handle for them to see. "I wanted to clean my great sword, so I used a towel and got it REALLY GROSS, but it wasn't mine so I wanted to clean IT too, and then I BROKE THE SINK." She quickly explained, then took a breath, "I didn't mean to! It was an accident, I swear! I don't know how to sink. Please help." She forced the words out of herself, looking rather hopeless as she finished her plea.

(I was talking to my Mom yesterday, about the rp today and I had to explain to her it's like d&d. Then she asked me what the name of our rp is

And I never said "Soledormir's Keys" outloud before and it sounded funny to me, saying it outloud for the first time to someone

I don't even know if I say Soledormir right, I don't even know how to say it! I just sounded it out xD)

(I say it

Soul-door-mur)

(Yeah! That's how I say it too.)

Crimson got the reaction he was hoping for, the red Prince started to laugh, " haha, you called my bluff "
he turned so Purity could see all his face " your right I wouldn't do that Eater, I probably could learn something from cutting him open but I like him alive, he might be a freak but he cool, I just wanted to see your response and I got what I wanted " he smirked.

The dragon shapeshifter then look back at his papers and pick a few up " I actually been trying to figure him out myself, I know a lot about Nightmares and he a freak" he shuffle the papers in his hands looking for a particular one " what I got on him is, a moon Blood place a seal on him, he got some power from Malice that made him jump ranks to an alpha, it's why he smells the way he does..." He paused looking up from his paperwork making a face " he smiled really Strong's that means he hasn't took a bath in a while, Nightmare sweat really weird" he thinks out loud then continues on " I'm still working on putting things together, he talked about some things that I'm trying to make since of..."

( haha that funny xD

Yeah that how I would say it to xD)

(She also asked me what my characters names were

So I told her Hiiro, Alexandrea and Blue

And she likes Hiiro, just because she thought I was using a character named Hero)

(Thankfully she didn't ask me about your guys characters, too many names to go over xD)

(Ha, that's funny XD That's how I say Soledormir too, I think, sometimes I think I get it more like Soul-door-meer? I think I go back and forth between them

That would've been quite the list X'D )

Purity isn't sure how to feel about that, even if it was just a bluff, she doesn't agree that Eater is cool... She shifts her weight a little to get into a more comfortable position and watches Crimson with some suspicion as he explains what he knows about the Nightmare, but there's one detail he mentions that sticks out to her. "Wait... A Nightmare's... body odor... is sweet...? And THAT'S why he had such a strong chocolatey smell...? ... H-How long exactly do you think it's been since he's cleaned himself up...?! As in, days, weeks...?!" she asks in a dead-serious tone, her face getting a little paler...

Catch smile and nodded an agreement with Eira that they would still have each other, he chuckled at his wife tease " oh moons who knows, I know I sure don't" he shrugs his shoulders " half of what I know are my moon blood power are more annoying than anything, visions, eclipse, seal that blow up and not do anything useful and I think I can sometimes since people feelings, i know I could whenever I was seeing a vision but the now i think I I'm feeling others people emotions outside of vision "

The red hair Dreamer then put his hands in his pocket give Eira a goofy smile " how about you? You must have learned some things to"

(I pronounced it very differently x'DD
I tend to say it as sol-eh-di-more x'D)

(Huh, that's interesting Fade XD )

Crimson was not expecting THAT reaction from the white Dreamer especially on THAT topic "wait what?" He blinked at her freaking out, he was quiet for a moment // I wasn't expecting her to have a panic attack over that... I just talked about cutting him open and she handle that fairly well but because Eater hasn't bathe in months she looks like she going to puke...// He was debating on whether to give his estimated opinion on the purple Nightmare hygiene but his mischievous curiosity got the best of him " uhhh, if I have to guess it probably been several months " the dragon shapeshifter thinking on just how strong of chocolate Eater smelled like gave him a good idea, he shrugged his shoulders " Eater smell like a walking piece of chocolate so I wouldn't doubt he's taking a bath at all since we'll you know " he refrain from saying when the Nightmare took over Weaver body

( that a fancy way to say his name xD )

Eira chuckled, giving Catch a sad smile. "It's a lot to take in... Though we can use your visions for good, so it's not all loss. I didn't know you could sense others' emotions though... I hope that doesn't harm you," she mused with a concerned look.
Eira shrugged at his question and rubbed one arm. "Not as much as I wish... I had some ah, training, with a another Vaseterm, though all I learned is that I can't overuse my magic in burst amounts... I want to be able to fight efficiently, not like how I did there."

(I basically include the "e" as a syllable x'D)

(The last part is still probably a "mur" instead of a "more")

Rahab pursed his lips as Fiona explained her predicament, not too impressed by how quickly she got into a mess. "By Taylice, you better not've flooded the entire bathroom..." He took a hand and moved Fiona out of the way, then opened the door. Not too surprisingly, water gushed out and pooled around his boots. A grim look settled on Rahab's face as he trudged into the bathroom and looked around at the mess she had made. "And what exactly were you trying to accomplish here?"

Boreas was wandering through the halls, not caring where he ended up... He was just thinking over all the events of the past two days. //...Let's see... We have a very corrupted and probably possessed kid... A Nightmare who babysits because of a seal... The actual King of Nightmares who's in love and under some kind of dark command... A thing of legend we're trying to stop...
And my niece is here. She's taller than me now.
...Everything's a mess. I'm obviously still very far behind...
I haven't met all of the Keyhunters yet either...//
He happened to be heading towards the lobby of the palace, oblivious to whether or not anyone was actually in there...

"SEVERAL MONTHS?!" Purity yelps, looking utterly horrified at the revelation as she places her hand over her heart, "O-or even since he turned...?! That's...! THAT'S...!!" Judging from what follows, the Dreamer can't seem to decide whether she wants to curl up into a ball or not, as at first she covers her eyes with her hands and moans, but then she thinks about how Eater hugged her just before she came down here, which makes her not even want to touch herself, so she tucks her arms in and holds her hands out, spreading her fingers out as far from each other as she can, all while continuously making disgusted noises and moans, "Eeeeeuuuugghhh, he HUGGED ME!! He hasn't taken a bath in /so long/ and I TOUCHED HIM!! How does he live with himself!? AaaaAAAAHHH, AND I STRAIGHT UP EMBRACED THE HUG because I was so upset at the time!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE I HUGGED SOMEONE SO FILTHY!!!!"

(He's in Hiiro's bedroom! Yes!)

(Just a note... He's not likely to wake Hiiro up on his own. XP
If Hiiro's still sleeping, that is.)

Hiiro had woken up a bit ago, only because his body had protested against him staying curled up so tightly. He rolled onto his back, stretching himself out, his tail winding up the staircase. His front paws pushed against the wall, near the entrance doors, scrunching up his face and yawning.

//I'm bored and hungry// Hiiro continued to lay on his back, staring at the front doors, he rested his forepaws on his chest. //Did they buy more food? They better have, or I'll try out one of those flashy horses. See how they taste// he lets out an amused snort.

Crystal laughed at Arthurs tease, "My father said something like that once, and my mother wacked him with a pillow afterwards," she said with a smile.

"Even if we do suck and are boring, I'm okay with being a human." the girl responded, then added somewhat jokingly, "Besides, I don't think I would have survived back home if I was anything else."

Crystals eyebrows raised slightly, "Wait, your friend spent time with Soledormir and his family?" She questioned, her tone surprised, "and he.. doesn't like losing his...socks..?" The last part sounded rather confused.

Catch smile at his wife chuckle, he rubbed his fingers through his hair " I guess so" he replied making a face " I don't even know how to control them but these bonds on them seem to help" he moved his hands to his horns and felt them " it's so funny, I can touch my horns and be fine but as soon as someone else does it's like my body has a stroke or something, it just locks up, it's so weird" he thinks out loud.

The red hair Dreamer puts his hands down and fold his arms, things about his strange ability about emotions " it's something I only started to notice, I'm not sure how long it's been affecting me but I'm guessing ever since my first vision... I think I'm ok but" he pause rubbing the back of his neck " there has been time I felt angry and not know why or sad, without hope, a few times I felt happy without really a reason but I think it's because someone else is feeling that way..." // At least it's not like the vision we're I have to speak and feel what going on...that was just creepy and disturbing...//

Catch got quiet as Eira explain her situation " I didn't know you had a training lesson..." He looked at his wife with concerned, but he thought about what they just talked about previously then took her hand and gave Eira a warm smile " it's ok, it might take time but we will work this out together"

On the other hand, Dreameater gives Fiona a faint, almost reassuring smirk as she tells them her woes, though it changes to more of an unhappy look for a brief moment when Rahab pushes her out of the way. "... Hey, it's alright, things happen, it's easy to break things if you're not used to using them, it doesn't help the fact that we're not even in our home world either," the Nightmare whispers, "We'll just try to fix it as best we can, and then maybe you can apologize to Blue, or Qui, or the queen sometime later."

... But then he looks back down to the water around his feet and takes a step back, wrinkling his nose and looking grumpy now as he snaps back at Rahab, "Ah, she already said what she was trying to do, but that doesn't matter--I'm just upset she didn't use hot water! I hate water!"

While he wants to help fix the sink, he doesn't want to go farther in at the moment, especially if the sink is a volcano of water at the moment... because he's a Pyro...

Crimson just blinked at the freaked out Dreamer, sure yet was disgusting but Nightmare smelled nice so way was it a big deal? The red Prince facial expressions shifted from everything from ' huh?' To 'this is kinda funny' to 'oh, man she really messed up' Crimson take the handkerchief he was giving previously and hands it back to the white dreamer it was the only thing he had to offer to clean herself with... " your a freaky, you know that?" He finally said something

The moment Boreas stepped into the lobby, both he and his thoughts came to a halt. "Huh." He muttered, looking at the red dragon sprawled out across the area, "I see this room's occupied." //...I wonder if this is that Hiiro character I've heard so much about.//

Hiiro's ears twitched as he heard someone, and someone he didn't recognize. He twisted around, rolling onto his belly and looking back at the source of the voice, his head tilting to one side.

//That looks like the fluff ball...when did she grow a beard and turn male?// Hiiro wrinkled his snout, narrowing his eyes. "Who the hell are you?" He growls, his spines along his neck and back raising, "Why do you look like the overgrown fluff ball?"

Fiona stumbled a little once again as Rahab pushed her out of the way. She frowned at him, but then looked to Eater as he tried to reassure her.
...She still /really/ didn't know how to take that, which was obvious thanks to her confused expression. However, she nodded anyways, hesitating briefly, "...Uh... Yeah...
I want to help fix it too--I gotta make up for this. I'll probably still owe them an apology, though..."

...The Elemental then scowled slightly at Rahab, "I told you, I was cleaning stuff up! I've never used a sink before! I just... Messed up!" She admitted.
However, she paused when Eater started complaining about the water, "...I didn't think it was that cold... But water and me don't really mix either..."
She shook her head, then held up the sink parts, "Look, I've got the thing I broke off... Maybe we could just... Put it back on?"

Arthur chuckled with Crystals story about her parents [ he a brave soul]

[ I couldn't say it better myself! Being a sack of pink flesh can't be beat ] he said honestly but with an upbeat tone, he paused for a moment thinking about the human girl home world [ I can see that not many human worlds welcome other species.... Speaking of which after your quest is over do you have plans on returning home? ]

[ Oh yeah he did, Sol had been spying on us so we flip the tables on him, Faye planned it, he said something along the lines of Gorgeon would be a perfect spy, Faye rigged it up and Sol took the bait... My bubby played the traitor and we learn a lot from what he gathered, I have to give my feather boy props though, he lives though that for a couple hundred years, I think Sol like having a pretty pet bird... Most of the information stay with Faye thought, that boy was a planner and he was up to something...] He goes quiet thinking about his nephew, the human king then remembers to get back on topic [Oh! That right! YEAH! Apparently there's this little Beastie thing that runs around Sol place that like to eat people socks, some monstrosity Shoji made, I guess it like to eat Soledormir socks sometimes or that what Oreo said.... Ohhh this is probably really confusing for you? Sol isn't always a big Dragon, he has a lot of different forms and some of them are humanoid and apparently has a thing about wearing socks ]

Purity grimaces at Crimson and carefully accepts the handkerchief back, summoning a small amount of bubbly water with her magic to clean both it and her hands off as much as she can, and then she wipes her face using the same, replying back to Crimson, "I'm not a freak, Eater is! He's the one who's gone for /Several. Months,/ maybe even a year, without taking care of himself at all!! Sure he might smell really sweet, but surely he must be sticky and slimy?! His hair must be so greasy!! UGH!!" Needing a moment to squeeze her eyes shut and cover her face again, Purity holds her breath before finally putting her hands on her lap and looking at the red prince, "And even with that, he /hugged/ me earlier, Crimson! /He/ hugged /me!/ Nightmares aren't supposed to be like this! They're not supposed to hug the ones they used to love! They're not supposed to get 'irritated' when the person they /used/ to love is upset...! I could see how someone would want to hug a Nightmare if it's someone they knew, but it's never the other way around... I don't know what to think anymore, Eater started off laughing maniacally about how he wanted to kill me on the night he turned, then he's gone for a while, only to show up and reveal that apparently he has a seal on him that makes him want to protect Boo, and for a while there, he never spoke to me, he never even looked at me, even when we were in the same place, it's like he tried to pretend I didn't exist, and now ever since we left Void's place, he's been following me around, wanting to talk to me and do things with me, like taking me out to eat, and when I was upset, /he/ pulled me into a hug and wanted to help me feel better... I just don't know what to think anymore..."

Boreas knew signs of hostility when he saw them, but for that moment, he just stood there casually. "...You talking about Fiona? I'm her uncle--Boreas." He introduced himself, but couldn't help but chuckle a little, "...Can't say I've ever heard that nickname for her before."
He paused, folding his arms, "...Are you one of the Keyhunters?"

Crimson just blinked, he was not expecting what just happened, the Dreamer girl having an complete meltdown in front of him //... I'm not very good at this... I just did a little tease and I think I broke her...// He honestly felt bad about it.

The dragon shapeshifter padded a hand for her to calm down as he got up, he when over to the mini frigerator and open it // come on there has to be something left? I couldn't have eating them all...// he tried to tell himself but I also knew how much of a chocolate glutton he was... The shapeshifter pulled out several different items, he dug around " come on, come on, I know there has to be something!" He was getting irritated until he spotted a shiny gold wrapper "Yes!" He pulled out a unopened chocolate bar victoriously, he then proceeded to put back the items and close the door.

Crimson walk back over to the Dreamer and kneel down and held out the chocolate bar to her " ...here take it...it makes you feel better... " he mumbled, this was actually a big deal for the dragon shapeshifter, giving up chocolate wasn't an easy thing for him but here he was doing it and it was thank for Crystals show him compassion so he was trying to show it to someone else

Eira frowned at Catch's explanation of his horns. "That's odd..." His description of the many emotions he's experienced made her sick for him. "I'm so sorry... I never even knew. Even if they aren't your emotions, it's still important, and I'll help in any way I can," she murmured. Eira gave a faint smile when he took her hand. "Thank you... I'm wondering if there is some way to keep my magic under control. Just like those bracelets hide our appearances, there must be something to stop the dark magic from getting into my magic."

Rahab rolled his eyes. "I'm sure you're new to the whole concept, but you don't clean things by dousing them in a few gallons of water." The Shadow Hunter raised his staff a bit, then brought it down on the water on the floor. Immediately, all the water in the bathroom froze over with a glistening white sheen. He then swept his staff up, and the ice spiraled upwards, a mix of ice and snow, and it sailed right back into the sink where the water was spewing. Rahab reached back with his free hand and took the sink head from Fiona, which he then planted back in its place. "There. That doesn't fix it, but it stops the flow for now. You'll need a plumber to make that permanent," he ascertained as he turned back to face them.

(Good observation, Hiiro...)

(He's pretty good at not liking others)

(Haha, you're right, he is good at that.

He's also extra grumpy, because he just woke up)

"No kidding.." Crystal replied, but decided not to get hung up on where her thoughts were heading.

Arthurs question got her thinking, "I.. I haven't really thought about that. I suppose we're assuming I'm still alive by the time our journey is over, and that there's even a way for me to get home..." Crystal shrugged, "It honestly depends on if there's anything for me to go home to. The only things that made it worth being there was my family, and as far as I know, they aren't doing well.." she paused and thought for a moment, "and there's also the fact that I'm getting to know people here, and well... I don't know how things will be when this is all over, but there might not be things I want to leave behind from this either.. like I said, I just haven't thought about it much." Crystal finished, chewing at her lower lip a bit.

She listened to the king as he went on and explained some more, "Your friend played as a pet.. for a couple hundred years..? And to think, I thought I had patients." Crystals expression then turns curious, "A creature that likes to eat socks, of all things, that is certainly interesting.. And for someone who hates humans so much, the fact that Soledormir has human-ish forms is surprising." Crystal went quiet now, but a rather random thought popped up in her head and she just couldn't help it, "Do they even make socks big enough for dragons?"

Catch sighed " it's ok... I'm at least figuring out what going on with me, I just have to find out if there a way to control these emotions just like trying to get a hold of myself with the eclipse..." The red hair Dreamer rubbed the back of his head // jeez I'm like an emotional basket, why all the sudden are my emotion so out of whack... Because I'm a moon Blood... Things we're so much more simpler as a Dreamer...// (No it's not Catch...no it's not )

He smiled at Eira hopefully " I'm glad you're here for me, that makes me feel better about it" the Dreamer Prince make a face thinking " they might have something like that, they seem to know a lot and have some impressive resources like these bracelets for disguises, we could try asking if they have something?" He suggest looking back to the door we're Blue and Qui we're last seen

(Hiiro needs some friend therapy
People are friends, not food)

(Lol)

"I wonder if the Vaseterms would know anything about it," Eira thought aloud with a small frown.
She nodded in response to Catch and looked that way as well. "Perhaps... They might know how to help you with your horns and visions and emotions, too," she said as she turned to walk toward the kitchen, keeping her hand in Catch's.

Purity just sighs after letting out her vent about Dreameater, and watches as Crimson gets up and heads over to the fridge. She honestly feels a bit guilty when the prince triumphantly returns with a piece of chocolate, but wouldn't dare to refuse it, graciously accepting it instead and nodding her head. "Thank you..." she quietly replies, staring at the chocolate for a few seconds before slowly opening it, "I'm... really sorry, Crimson, here I came down thinking maybe I could help you somehow, but the tables have turned... I promise I'm not normally like this, there's just been a lot of things popping up, one after another, and... Well, I'm not really 'fine'... I don't know if I have been for a long time..."

(Just a heads-up to those it concerns, I may head to bed after another reply or two)

(I'm tired too, and Fluffy dieded)

( o think it's getting late, I know I'll probably only get maybe one or two post in )

( -Shadows)

The king listen to his keepers reply, he really wish he could do something for Crystal and help her family but he was a key and the best thing could do is aid the human in the upcoming battle against Soledormir, but another thing he could do is give her some advice [ number one stay positive, yeah it is a possibility that you might be killed or that you might fail in your quest but it also a possibility that you might live and succeed, the main thing is to have a goal to strive for... if Soledormir wins well everyone dies or life will because an absolute mess, he won't stop at the land of dreams, he will continue to consume other words but in the chance you guys do defeat Sol, we can throw a party!.... jokes aside, you don't have to pick between worlds right now, a lot can happen between now and the next chapter of your life, sometime things happened that you don't expect, sometimes good sometimes bad, it just getting to the end and you never know, maybe a new series will presented itself to you... I like to talk book ]he teased the last part

[ Yep you're telling me the guy has patience of steel] Arthur chuckled, but what the human girl brought up made him think very hard on a subject [ it interesting that he does have a humanoid form for as much as he hates humans, as far as I know he really didn't use it that much, more for his disguise, he posed as a white Dragon with a humanoid form when he pretended to be allied with the king's but I know for some world he just shows his jumbo black and red dragon form, I know one thing Sol crazy ] he then continues on with the other topics [ if you have big enough sewing machine I bet it's possible, that or you be crocheting very long time ]

(I'm done RPing tonight.

Goodnight guys, it was fun~ See you all next week~)

(Goodnight)

(I feel like I did something wrong, I'm sorry if I killed the mood of the rp or went too far :S

Fluffy, if you're upset with me, I can fix Hiiro's comments, I'm sorry)

(I didn't think it was especially wrong? Though it would be nice to see a bit of empathy from Hiiro once and a while, so that he's not stuck in a single mode constantly. He doesn't have to be too nice, but it would give others a change if he wouldn't hate them off the bat.)

(Yeah, I can work on altering his character, to a more likeable one.

Thanks Fade :)
Have a goodnight)

(Alrighty :) Goodnight!)

( good night Everyone!)

( SMELLY BANANA CRACKERS I FORGOT MY MOM TELL ME ABOUT DINNER AND IT'S NEARLY ONE NOW!)
