Beautiful Nightmare = Hex Code #460078
Sweet Dream = Hex Code #e8ba00

Semi-Based on recent events that happened in game, but more so a story to show everyone why it's wise to approach Nightmare while he's in his current state of mind. He's hurting himself, more so as a punishment to himself because he couldn't protect Laurette (Someone he cares for in a weird manner) and now... he's lost his mind somewhat in a Beautiful Nightmare.

He hurt himself greatly last night by attacking the Twin Gods Statue (Which I think a few might have seen) and left to only be tormented by a fawn that wouldn't leave even with his warnings. The fawn put him down more, made him more angered and threw him into a deeper pit that he has to climb out of. However, bad things will come long before anything good happens.

Right now IN GAME the only ones capable of approach Nightmare fully would be Laurette and Sithrim, Sithrim being the better choice of the two. The smoke that Nightmare's spewing forth recognizes them as 'friends' and thus it's not really going to affect either. However, if one or the other attacks him... then it will recognize them as an enemy and could possibly effect them.

Anyone ELSE whom approaches Nightmare is putting their deer at risk (View Here for details) of not only being hurt, but at risk of inhaling the smoke he's bellowing out from his body.

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

"Wandering these forest lands as a plagued piece of memories... I walk and run to bring torment to the tormentors... however, I have made but only a couple friends and now... now I will likely lose them..."

~~~~~~~~~~~

The massive form of the smoking beast walked through the forest, eyes set in a blazing state with black smoke bellowing from the sockets that held a massive red glow to them. He had distanced himself from the many deer that tormented him so, eyes narrowing down for a moment as he snorted out deeply "They will be plagued in a nightmare soon enough."

Glancing to a side, matted, thick fur twisting with his necks movement Nightmare growled deeply his tail swinging behind him as the darkness seemed to cover the peaceful forest floor. There was no peace to be had for Nightmare, nothing could seem to calm his rage. That black smoke bellowing from his skull... through the mouth, the nose and his sockets was only the beginning of it all and now... smoke was just seeping through the bare muscles of his legs and stomach. Those deer that saw him fled... or backed away to give the massive stag a wide berth.

Many would rush in the direction of the 'holy grounds' as Nightmare called them. The Twin Gods Statue and th Crying Idol... he snorted, glancing down to his burnt and disfigured legs now. Walking along he continued on his way, watching as a squirrel fled away shaking it's head wildly before rushing to try and climb a tree... falling onto the ground with a hard thud. The thing must have inhaled some of that toxic smoke spewing from the stag. Slowly, he continued his walk... trailing through the flower beds and tearing the flowers up as he went along, the Fireflies that have gathered fleeing with his presence.

Soon, he took his place and laid down near a small tree surrounded by the Hyacinth's his attention staring straight out as he watched the things continued on, claws digging into the ground as those eyes narrowed more, the smoke bellowing up around him more as he growled... anger, seething from his body "Oh how you were so lucky that they were around... I was so tempted to snap... so tempted to shove your little head down onto the ground and just crush it..." Nightmare let out, seeming to be talking to himself as he dug his claws into the tender ground all the more "Little fawn, you are lucky I had to sleep... had to leave... your stupidity would have earned you an early grave."

The stags attention turned to a side, things seemed to be calmer around him but he... he wasn't calm. He couldn't calm... slowly... he rose up to his feet. There just seemed to be something about him... raising his head up he let out a bellowing Roar, bats flying away in a panic before the stag reared and then... slammed his hooves down on the ground bolting in a run, trail of black liquid smoke flowing behind him. Running, it was something that he didn't do all that often unless he had something in his mind that was a target.

What was his target? What was he going after... it wasn't a friend to anyone... it wasn't his enemies... what was the Nightmare Stag rushing for. Another roar, and he seemed to speed up... the trail being left behind making other deers jerk up when they heard him before... the stag collided with something solid, and rocky...

Stumbling back, Nightmare growled deeply... eyes narrowing down as he turned to his side, his body starting to burn. Snorting a deep flare of that toxic fumes flowed up and those that had gathered around the Twin Gods Statue jolted at the sudden hit to the statues. Many staring at the stag like he was a nut case, in which a small sense he was. Nightmare's eyes casted their gaze up, even as his body was burning with pain "Not only do you torment Toxic... but you haunt me as well..."

His tail swung around behind him before he roared out again, deer scattering before that skull like head slamming down into one of the statues, claws digging into the base as he roared more. The echoes casting their disturbing sound throughout the forest before he jerked back, rearing and slammed his head in again. That tender skull going from a crystal white to a scorched black, legs starting to blaze up with more burns "You take her from me... you twist her... corrupt her!"

Those who had heard his roaring had slowly came to gather around... watching as the massive creature was attacking the statues, leaving damage at that before he growled out and slammed his head back into the statue, shoving... his skull almost completely black on the top as he huffed out. The pain, it was blinded out by a rage. However, his attention turned to the callings of others who demanded he stop. Lifting his head, he glared at them, roaring before turning and slowly... hobbling as it was, moved off. Leaving the statues to their whoas and the damage that had been done to the things.

"Give and take... that's all it's about anymore." Nightmare mumbled out deeply as he went along, tail swaying behind him as his body was still smoking from the holy effects that were still hurting him. He was still burning, neglecting to get rid of those powers as he went along "They shall all perish... live in a nightmare, feel my wraith and BEG me for mercy. Which I greatly enjoy..."

Love and lose... they go hand in hand... I will lose all and have no one... my faith is much like Toxic's. I am not meant to have anyone... not meant to have friends and most certainly... not meant to have love. Leave me to my fate, for if you value your lives... your minds... you will leave me the fuck alone and stay away.
