"The Mind... a place of infinite rooms. You can get lost in the many doors, or worst... get sucked away into memories of the past that one does not wish to Dwell on. This is why I have so much fun wandering the sick and twisted minds of others."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It seemed to be a brighter day, his mind lost in the many thoughts as he laid out in the thick grass near the pond. The black smoke bellowing from his body but it seemed to slowly be dieing down, his mind at a small bit of ease as Nightmare watched those gather 'round to drink and dance in their own little area. Not paying him much mind, or if they did... they gave him a wide berth as always.

Thick, matted fur sprawled out around him while he sighed out deeply. His body was still scorched, burnt so badly that his fur seemed clean. He turned that blackened skull to one side, glancing in the general direction of the Ruins. He'd just come from there, since no one seemed to be there... he was drawn towards the pond to be in the company of others. Maybe it was a death wish, or that his mind seemed to be telling him something. That something being if he died... that he wanted to die with a group around him. Even if they were deer that he didn't know personally, he just wanted that comfort of others around.

Of course, Nightmare dieing seemed next to nothing because of the simple fact that his stubborn mind wasn't going to allow for him to die anytime soon. Oh no, not when he had his goals set... and not... not when he had friends to be with when they had times of need. Especially Laurette... ah, the butterfly pelted doe seemed to gather into his mind before he lowered his gaze down. Their last meeting did not meet well with much of anything, especially with how she seemed to be acting. Nightmare had to admit, he was curious as to why Laurette had acted the way she had been... and he was even more curious to know if she was doing all right.

Slowly, he lifted himself to his feet. Earning a few stares before he turned and slowly... limping really, made his way back towards the ruins. Long tail down and almost dragging the ground as the night pelted stag moved along. Gaining the stares and looks from many before he finally dragged himself to the ruins were he just let himself collapse in a heap near the gravestones at the back. Ah, this is where he met someone else... Myu... a sweetheart really and his mind thought of her with a soft smile on his skullish features before it disappeared.

Nightmare never spoke, the only thing he had asked was if he could lay with her. And she agreed... he had stayed with her for what seemed ours, feeling comfortable near the other doe as he rested to work on healing. Which was such a trouble with him... he'd willingly allowed his body to be burnt not once... not twice... but three whole times with the Devout Pelt. And healing from that would take time, a long time... unless the gods smiled upon him and casted their blessings.

It seemed that Myu however, wasn't here... and so, the large stag was alone for the time being. Laying his head down on the ground he sighed out and stared straight ahead for what seemed forever until the thin, graceful legs of another deer had come up in front of his face. Casting a glance up Nightmare watched with a smile upon his face as the Butterfly pelted doe slowly laid down beside him... shifting, he made himself comfortable and leaned over laying his head on her back as he sighed and gently closed his eyes.

She still seemed strange but Nightmare enjoyed her company all in the same. Laurette seemed to be the one doe that has captured Nightmare in such a way that his aggression all but vanishes when she is around. Which is odd when you put together how badly he'd been acting recently... then again, his aggression almost stopped when he seen Laurette. Even if he wasn't in a straight mind.

Staying with his head laid out on her back near her shoulders, the night pelted stag kept his eyes closed as he relaxed with Laurette. Not paying attention to anyone who came by, not even bothering to care if anyone came close or came near. Nothing could seem to drag Nightmare's mind away from his peaceful slumber with the butterfly doe.

"Don't leave me... if you ever did, I'd be completely lost without you. My love... you are the only one in this entire forest that has captured this beasts heart. It's like a twisted tale... a wicked tale... of Beauty and the Beast..."
