I'm loving these covers so much, Fluffy, thank you so much for doing these X3

You're welcome! I'm really glad you're enjoying 'em! ^v^

Hehe this cover is great!

Death smile with his eyes again and had the unseen anime happy cheese sparkles popping around his head, he was relieved to know that Fiona wasn't upset that he got a little carried away and that she seen interested in knowing more but the Bellezzas knew to there was rules on what they should say... they were hidden for a reason after all.

" there a /lot/ smaller then any other Bellys I seen, even tinyer then babies and babies are pretty tiny " Death went into more detail about the odd Bellezza in the group.

Dr.Kwanzo cleared his throat to get everyone attention because Death wasn't explaining it very well " we believe that the small Dragon fairy that accompany you are Bellezzas " he then rub his chin in thought, he knew of a story about the silver moons granting a gift to the last king of the land of dreams...

"Oh! You mean Sparky and Glory? They're Fairfin!" Fiona finally pieced it together, but still furrowed her brow. She already knew there was a lot she was missing, but the thought that Sparky and Glory were the same species the giant dragon Raven was just added more to it.
"They're partners to two Dreamers who're our group. Well... Who were... No, are...
Uh... It's a mess.
But... You said 'she' earlier? And that she was sick, too... So, Glory must've told you, right?"

//It's possible for them to be one and the same...// Glory repeats in her head, not wanting to believe it... There's still something that's bugging her with all of this, but for her to bring it up to Penelope, she needs to know something else, first. "I hope you don't mind if I change the subject ever so slightly, but... While I don't know what you are exactly, I'm guessing you must be a guardian here? Or something like that? Do you know what I am, though?"

" I do not mind " Penelope replied with a smile, she then listened to Glory, the Bellezzas woman tips her head in though, saying that Glory was a Bellezzas would be to vague, she was one in a way but not at the same time, much like someone else in the room...
even though both her and Death were of the moon who gifts revolves around the supernatural and spiritual aspects but Unlike Death who most of his experience was with the Supernatural and spiritual realm, Penelope had more experiences with the physical realms and those who lived there.

The woman looked to Crimson and then to Glory and smiled as she said " the three of us are all the same, and yet not at the same time." She then go on to explain more as she placed a hand on her chest " I am what called a Bellezzas, some creatures refer to us as angels of the realms and I am one of guardians of this holy place of the 4 sacred moons"

Terra doesn't even lift his head when Boreas calls out...

Sparky on the other hand, perks his head up and looks over at the newcomers, waving back at Boreas. "Yo yo!" he calls back, but doesn't move from his spot in Terra's lap.

Jason had relaxed with the calming presence of this place, the lingering effects of Scarlett spell had dissolve completely away, he was able to force clearly now and as they had traveled deeper into the park, one thing came to Jason mind with all the peaceful Beauty around him //dude a nap sounds good // he thought to himself, it was about that time the Orange horse got distracted by everyone spotting Terra and Sparky.

Up on seeing how the two look Jason got the feeling something really bad had to happen.... now the question was do they go over and inquire or give them their space? So why not ask? " Dude! Need some help or you got it? "

When only Sparky reacted and responded to Boreas’ greeting call, Crystal couldn’t help but wonder if something was wrong.. She knew the Dreamer had been out there today too, and although she didn’t know what else he had seen or been through on top of helping with Glory and Crimson’s rescue against what had been some extremely terrifying monster in an undoubtedly extremely stressful situation, surely Terra would have at least turned to look their way.. The girl wanted to think that maybe there was a possibility he was simply resting, but something told her that wasn’t the case..

Crystal also wanted to say something, but wasn’t quite sure what, so when Jason spoke up with his question, she decided to wait to see what would be said next. She did, however, take the chance to slide down off Jason’s back, both to ease things up for him and because it seemed they wouldn’t need to be quick to escape anything here.

Upon receiving a response only from Sparky, Boreas went quiet and let Jason ask his question. Being a Shadowhunter who had been sent with groups on near suicide missions in the past, Boreas was all too familiar with the way Terradream appeared at that moment. He wondered if it were simply what they had recently escaped from that had caused it, or if there were more to it... They didn't have many details to go off of.

For now, he silently waited for Sparky's reply to Jason.

//Huh, so that's what happened?// Weaver replies, but then grimaces at Catch, //She asked to what? Moons, I'm glad you didn't have to see that, but, why would someone /want/ to see that? Did she want more proof that... No, but you said she already knew that he was Faithful... I dunno... // The young Nightmare shrugs with a frown on his face. //Faithful, Faolan... I might need some refreshers on these kind of things, but yeah, this is why I was saying even earlier that we all need to talk. We're probably gonna repeat that a lot. But... Right now, we're still standing in front of the Nightmare King.//

Malice laid in his tub and was very confused, nothing made since anymore and it was like this head wanted to spilt apart to go along with the rest of him. Eater didn't want to be a Nightmare? No he said he was Weaver but that could not be possible...but could it? His former self was still alive... he thought back to what he knows about his own species, the contract in the ones who made him...

// yeah, I agree, I get the feeling we would know more on what going on if we actually got together with everyone and talked// Catch replied as he rub the back of his head. He looked to the bathtub, he couldn't spot Malice at all but knew he was in there, they had already spent quite a bit of time and time wasn't something he knew just how much they had to waste...so he just went into it " Malice, you must trust us a little bit or you had every opportunity to kill us so I'm going to take that as your willing to talk with us "

The Nightmare king ears twitchde, it seems almost foreign to hear Dreamcatcher speak so boldly, almost foreign, the Nightmare king knew there was a time Catch was more out spoken but this Journey had broken, and the Nightmare king had some pride in knowing he was one of the people who did it... but hearing the Dreamer now made it seem like nothing had changed but everything had... here was Malice the king of Nightmares was the one broken...

It was true, Mal was greatly injured but as a Nightmare he would have fought until his last breath if cornered like he was and yet he let them in...why did he do that? He wondered, Malice hated them for reasons he could not comprehend for he was a Nightmare but still he let them in, maybe it was because they were key hunters and by being key hunters they were attached to Alex...

Malice let out a shrill mix with frustration and pain, he didn't understand his own emotions anymore and that was affecting his logic, life was easy before but now it was far from that

(Ok, that should be all!)

(It's my turn for everything, so I'll get right to work on my posts!)

(Thanks Shadow! ^v^

And alrighty, Lilly!)

"I got him! He's in bad shape, mentally, but we'll be alright!" Sparky calls back to Jason, then adds, "If you see Fiona in there though, let her know that Terra's calmed down, and he'll be ok! She doesn't need to worry too much about him!"
Looking back up at his partner, Sparky lightly pats his hand. "Look, Terra, it's Crystal, Boreas, some Vaseterm, and another orange haired guy! They made it too, and they're ok. They're alive."

But Terra still doesn't say anything... He does wonder though...
//... Which would be better at this point...? To be dead or alive... Maybe if they don't come back as ghosts, it'd be better for them...//

Weaver flinches when Malice shrieks, and frowns. //This isn't getting anywhere...// he thinks to himself, then takes one cautious step forward. "Hey... Hey! How about we help you first, then you can answer our questions after? I know that's not the smartest move on our part, but that's what you need, isn't it? That's the most important thing," he says, narrowing his eyes slightly with a mixture of concern and determination, "Let's do this one step at a time--what can we do to help you? You have a wound you need wrapped up? Something we need to look at? I'm sure I've still got some chocolate if you'd like something sweet to chew on... What can we do for you? We're on your side right now."

" Fairfins? So that's what there called" Dr.Kwanzo repeats and rubs his chin in thought. The Grim Reaper eyes widened " Whoa! So tiny Bellezza are called Fairyfans?"

" try 'Fair' as in impartial then 'Fin' as in what fish used to swim with" the Doctor kept it short and sweet, but he did ponder the meaning of the name and came up with with a couple thoughts
Fair could be short for Fairy, they seem to be small Fairy like Dragons but he was wondering if there name lean more towards impartial, As for Fins, Fins are used to guide and steer...maybe there was more but he think on it later after speaking with his coworkers as for now Dr.Kwanzo wasn't going to let Fiona just hang forever with her question.
" ah, that the sickly raisins cat name, yes she told us a little about you and your merry group of friends, it's why we were able to hop to it and get to work on you trouble kids, it's thanks to her that you lot didn't have to wait a hot minute for us to figure out what all to do with you " he said in his odd teasing but serious tone, he then added on "don't worries about her though, the staff members have stated Glory some medical treatments to help with her sickness and like the rest of you should be back on your feet before you should "

Death went back to taking notes

"Hmm..." Glory mutters as she listens to Penelope's explanation, the Bellezza's first comment sticking out to her especially, but she doesn't let herself get too side-tracked. "I could tell you had to be something wonderful like that, I'm glad I'm not wrong," she says with a smile, then adds, "I'm a Fairfin, a type of creature from the Land of Dreams, and as a Fairfin, I formed a link with a Dreamer to protect him from Nightmare Syndrome. That's what we all do, or most all of us, at least. But, that's besides the point..." She looks a little sadder again as she then goes on to explain. "I... failed to save my Dreamer partner, however, I didn't catch him in time, the Nightmare took over his body, and he was gone... But, just today, I learned that Weaver--my Dreamer partner--he wasn't fully gone, his soul which had been trapped somewhere evil was freed, so he was able to return back to his own body. The only problem is that his body is still under the Nightmare's control, and that's why I had wanted to bring this up..." Morning Glory looks back to Crimson now as she continues. "What this mystery man and Crimson are going through makes me think of what Weaver has been suffering... While Weaver's back in his own body, he's been tormented..." She abruptly stops for a second, wondering about that word she just used. That's not a coincidence, is it? "... By the Nightmare that's fighting for control of his body... Unfortunately, the Nightmare is stronger, so that evil has more control of him, and it forces Weaver to do horrible, horrible things, like... things like hunting, and torturing people, eating them alive... I was with him recently when the Nightmare went hunting, and once... Once it was over... It was exactly like what this man just did, he started panicking and screaming, he was terrified of himself... But he couldn't stop himself..."

The Fairfin goes quiet for a moment, watching Crimson's sleeping face with a deep sorrow on her own. "... Surely, if there's some way to help Weaver, there's some way to help these two, too... Whether it's separating the Nightmare curse from Weaver, or splitting up the demon, the stranger, and Crimson... There's got to be something..."

Fiona felt a sense of déjà vu when Death had trouble pronouncing 'Fairfins.'
When the doctor finally answered her question, the Elemental narrowed her eyes.
"Wait--hey! Glory's not a raisin!" She protested.
However, she quieted down as he continued, starting to wonder about the handful of times he'd called their group 'merry.' That didn't really fit together with what he'd gotten her thinking about earlier--their group wasn't /really/ merry...
Then again, his tone was weird, too.

Either way, she shifted her thoughts to Glory. "I'm gonna need to thank her later, then... And you guys are able to help her more with her sickness, too? That's great!"

" oh, alright man... " Jason replied, he didn't want to press the issue if Sparky had it under control but that didn't make seen Terra like that any better, but what could they do? Was it time that Terra needed? It seems that way...

Jason knew They also needed to find the others to, he seen the building across the fountain and thought that be a good place to start looking but he didn't want to leave without saying something.

The Orange horse hung is head low and said " dude if you need any thing at all, we'll be inside looking for the others, just holler on link and we'll come " start on his way towards the farm house.

Malice had his paw on his hurting head when Weaver gave his offer, his ears twitchde and he laid there staring as he contemplated on what to do, it was risky but he needed to do something or he would be killed eventually...

"...if trying to prove yourself that you can be trusted, and don't want me to die, then get me the blood of a Nightmare... " The Nightmare king growled.

" wait. what?! The blood of a Nightmare?" Catch replied taken back by what was asked " why do you need that? "

" I like to know were he expected us to find a Nightmare besides Waker and Eater to!" Anna chime in to with her $0.02.

" were you get the blood dosen't matter at this point! " Mal snapped and then popped his head over the rim of the tub to further chew them out " Waker has already given blood, if you have forgotten Nightmares have healing pools in which they use to heal themselves. Why do you think I'm in this tub to begin with?!"

Penelope listen quietly as Glory explains, the name of her kind, the Fairfin really stood out to her... and even more so as Glory went into further detail about her species and their bond with Dreamers. She had heard of such a species but Glory was the first she had seen, the gift of the Silver moons.
Her heart broke in hearing the Fairfins tale in the bond between Dreamers and her kind, that it was her and her kinds duty to protect the Dreamers from becoming Nightmares, a wicked species that even she knew about.
She looked over at the sleeping Crimson, she gently squeeze his hand, it was truly troubling about the Souls within this child, she knew it could not be coincidence that he was a Bellezzas as well... " we will do whatever we can to help Crimson and the gentleman inside him " after making her promise, the Bellezzas looked up at the Fairfin with the same yearning eyes " we will do are best for you and your partner, no one deserves a Fate like this " she said then looked back down at the sleeping king..

Who was the mystery man? She since that Crimson was part Bellezzas but what of the man? She could since something from him to but was he one or was it do to him fusing with Crimson? She did not know, but this evil disgusted her.

Penelope then sat on the edge of the bed, she wasn't about to leave the kings side, she knew what this was had to be one of the unspoken evils...

As she sat there, her mind jumped back and forth between the red king and what Glory was, she pondered the meaning behind the name Fairfin, Fair being impartial, but also meaning reasonable, that sounds right by what Glory said, Other meaning could be to smooth a surface to prepare it for being joined to another, by what Glory said a bound is formed between them and Dreamers, these all seem like fitting meanings by what Glory said a Fairfin does, but what about Fin? A fin was was used to steer and guide, but Fin also meant end, boundary' or 'limit, to have a final, finish, and definition.... It seem that what Glory said her kind was meant to be a boundary? But then one thing stuck out as she looked down on Glory Fin also meant 5...

Penelope look up as it hit her, Why would someone attach number 5 to a name?... to a creature like a Bellezza? // Fin... could it be? They mean the 5th?...//

Weaver blinks when he hears Malice's request, and glances back at Catch when he hears him and Anna speak up. //... Waker's already given him some blood... and there's likely no other Nightmare around here, on top of that, even if there were, how would the two of us take down a Nightmare in the condition we're both in...? We're in a pickle now, I hate the idea of using anything's blood for anything already, but... We don't really have a choice, do we? Don't be too upset, Catch...// He keeps those thoughts to himself as he glances to Catch again and chuckles nervously, giving his brother an equally nervous smile. "Well... I'm a Nightmare..." he quietly says, then turns back to Malice, taking his hat off and reaching his hand in to find something in his pocket dimension. "I should probably have something sharp in here, and I guess we don't have to do anything /too/ drastic for, uh... this 'blood transfusion'..."

Morning Glory turns to look up at Penelope when the Bellezza makes her promise, a small smile on her face. "Thank you so much, it means a lot," she says, "I'll try to do my best for all of them, too, I don't want to fail Weaver again, I don't want to fail Crimson, either... I've got hope, though, even if things are really, really bad right now for the both of them, I believe things will work out alright for the boys. We know now that Weaver's soul is back, so we just need to find his heart, and then figure out how to undo the Nightmare curse, and we know now too that, well... There's something really, /really/ awful happening to Crimson, and he's possessed by a demon and a nice guy. That's more than what we had before."

... But, after talking so much, Glory finds herself somewhat out of breath, rather tired. She breathes out a big sigh, and lets herself slump a little bit again as she sits next to Crimson. "... I still don't feel the greatest, but... I feel so much better now than I did just hours ago..." she mutters.

" she's certainly not a grape, but I think we can help her out " Dr.Kwanzo replied back, he didn't even blink when Fiona snap her friend defense. He was old and had a spunky attitude to.

the Doctor moved on to what she said next " that would be a good thing to put on your to do list, but rest first " Dr.Kwanzo point a finger at the blue woman, he then looked over to Death and scratched his nose " we will do what we can for her " he simply puts.
The Bellezzas are blessed creatures, their purity keeps then from getting sick, good for them but unfortunately that means dealing with a sick Bellezza is almost unheard of but that didn't mean they wouldn't do there best to help her.

Death made some swishes in his notebook as he got done. He then put it away in his portal he pulled it out off, the Grim Reaper tap his fingers together as he thought of what to do or ask next

Fiona just stared at the doctor with his first response, looking rather displeased.
That didn't stop her from being happy that Glory would get help. After a quiet moment, the Elemental still gave a genuine thanks. "We've been trying to help her by linking her with people who have light magic, but if she can get more help, that would be even better."

Then she did as she was told and rested while continuing to eat her apple.
She knew Glory must've been awake... The Fairfin was with Crimson the last she knew.
Thinking about him made her start remembering the panic that had happened when they arrived at this place. She still was trying to get it all straightened out.

She also finished off her apple very quickly--in fact, she was so busy thinking, she looked like she would just eat the parts you're not supposed to, too.
