Just a bit of background stuff for Raven. And yes, that Carnevil is the one from the Arcade Game CARNEVIL

Dreams.

Dreams were something Raven had always loathed. They reminded her of a past she would rather forget. The pain of these memories was often too much for her.

Usually the dreams revolved around her mentor,Master Fear and his descent into insanity.

It wouldn't have been so bad,she supposed, if she had not been his student.

His transformation had been one that had horrified and disgusted most of the Sixth Dimension. When he had RENAMED himself Ludwig Von Tokkentaker and twisted part of the Carnival into a sick murder ride known as Carnevil, a plan was made to stop him.

But as Raven awoke screaming for what had to be the fifth time since she had arrived on Earth to inform Lord Fear of his probation, She remembered how horribly it had gone.

Raven had lost her little brother and her eldest sister, Pyro Maniac, to Carnevil. Lord Fear had been transformed into the skeletal being he was now, while systematically losing his entire family.

Sparx,as she remembered, had been inconsolable for weeks, as her best friend happened to be one of Lord Fear's brothers, who was working as a Lightning Knight.

So much Chaos and destruction had been laid upon the Sixth Dimension that day. In the end, they had been able to seal him away, but at the cost of half their forces.

"Ravey?"

Raven was snapped out of her musing by Googler, who had entered the part of the Haunted house she had claimed as her room.

"Ravey screamed in her sleep again.'' Googler tilted his head. "Bad dreams?"

Raven nodded.

"About...the day Master Fear went crazy. When we had to stop him. I just...I just keep thinking: What if I knew then what I know now? I..might not have lost Umlaut and Pyro."

Googler laid a comforting hand on her shoulder, the hand being free of his puppets.

"...Sometimes things happen. Things we can't stop. It wasn't your fault." His voice was unusually serious.

"I know, but-''

"No buts. You did all you could. No one could ask any more of you."He turned and vanished into the shadows.

Raven reluctantly laid her head on her pillow and closed her eyes. Maybe this time, her dreams would be sweeter.
