Everything was fine for both the Empire of the Sun and the Empire of the Moon. Neither the Empire of the Moon nor the Empire of the Sun were fighting. To Dream's surprise, Nightmare was calmer. Thought they are some attacks from both sides to gain over the other side, but it's less often and less violent. Nightmare became nicer to his closer henchmen. Cross, Killer, Error, Horror and Dust were treated better. Nightmare let his crew be more free, but he still had said to not take advantage of his rare kindness.

Nobody knew why he was nicer to them. But they appreciated it... maybe because, he wasn't the soulless goopy guy after all. He never let anybody knew this soft side... maybe because of his short temper since he's corrupted.

Just because he represents Negative feelings doesn't mean he didn't have positive feelings of his own.

When they asked him, he would just answer with a bored voice :

"you should appreciate these passive moments. We don't know when the War will start up again..."

They didn't push him further. They would just nod and go do something else. Nightmare liked this little group. They were the only ones that he could really trust.

Weirdly, Cross and Killer had never gotten along since Cross arrived in the group. It was strange to Nightmare because they both got along well with the rest.

Everybody was glad to have this calm break during this never ending war... and since Nightmare was really cool with them. He gave them freedom as their reward. It took time but they see Nightmare as a proper King and not a soulless monster anymore.

Too bad it never lasts forever...

Nightmare was in his bed, sick. He had struggled to hid, it so if anyone asked, he would say he just needed more sleep. He groaned as loud banging sounded on his wooden bedroom door. It took long to Nightmare to react and he tried to sit. A headache was present very painfully.

He didn't understand. Guardians and Gods can't be sick. Everyone knew that.

He was perfectly fine. Cross brought him food like always. They chat like usual while talking about their affairs, and their kids. And then, Cross went away, saying he has to take care of their two kids, kiss his king and left. They have twins, Princes Incubux and Moonlight. Nightmare just asked Cross to bring them here, because he wanted to see them... but to not seem too lovely, even in front of Cross, he said that he'll explain to Moonlight that traumatizing Killer and Dust while they're sleeping isn't a good thing to do.

Cross never came back. Nightmare was asking himself why he didn't came back and stood. But he felt really dizzy and the world around him spined. He made a first fall on the floor. Then a second when he tried to get up. He finally succeed to reach the door. Just the time when Killer went to take his guard turn in this part of the castle. He told him he's sick and told him to not bother him... and he did.

The bangs were still going on. Nightmare, even sick, could sense the terror in the soul of the person who's destroying his hands on the door. Fear and other mix of very terrified feelings. And he knew who they belong to. That shocked a bit Nightmare. This person wasn't the type of person who can feel this... or just feel at all.

"I-It's Open !" he tried to yell. Just to give him a bad headache.

Nightmare groaned in pain. A panicked Killer barged in and rushed to him. He knelt beside the bed while putting on the ground a bag. Nightmare stared at him, confused, and raised a brow.
