Alice of Nightmaren Sacrifice
Chapter I – A normal day
The Sun shone bright as it's soft light warmed up all of that was the Land of Nightopia. The grass danced to the rhythm of the wind, and the little Nightopians opened their little house's windows. Yes... Another peaceful morning in the land of dreams... No cloud was in the sky, no dreamers were around, and no Nightmaren were to be seen. Nightopians were shy creatures, and they rarely, almost never left their little homes if someone was around.
Experience had taught them that some of the dreamers weren't as gentle and kind as they appeared to be, and that Nightmaren should be avoided as much as possible. Not that all of them were bad, but it was better not to take any risks, all those Nightopians knew that some Nightmaren really enjoyed eating Nightopian meat for breakfast…
At that time, all of the Nightopians were outside their homes, doing their daily chores while playing cheerfully, until suddenly one of their biggest fears appeared… An actual Nightmaren.
The Nightopians panicked while they rushed back to their homes, although, this Nightmaren had no plans of attacking any defenseless Nightopians, she simply passed by, ignoring the squeals of the screaming creatures and their existence alone.
She was a female nightmaren, with dark tan skin, fiery orange eyes, and a sandy blonde hair almost as long as her body. Her clothes had a style that remembered the ancient Egypt style, as her hands, feet and chest were covered in old looking bandages. She wore white, almost grey pants with a golden belt and her brown Nightmaren hat was rotten at it's only tip where her hair was flowing freely. Her name was Ramel, though she was called many other names by those who knew her well. She wasn't an anti-social but she had the temper of someone who woke up in a really, really bad mood.
In the mornings on Nightopia, Ramel always enjoyed taking a walk alone by the forest. Everything was calm until those annoying Nightopians started making all noise, which was something that she seriously hated.
Actually, everything worked to annoy her, a feature that other Nightmaren thought to be rather... Interesting. After walking a little, she stopped and rested under a large tree whose branches danced freely... "Peace and quiet" or so she thought.
A few minutes passed by, and Ramel noticed a strange sound repeating itself over and over again, something that sounded like giggling. At first she ignored it, but it quickly got on her nerves, she got up and glared at the side. Apparently it came from the bushes.
"Stupid Nightopians" She thought "They're so loud in the morning..."
As soon as she got to the bush, the thing that was bothering her apparently was…Nothing at all! Or at least, the thing wasn't there anymore… Maybe someone was playing a prank on her... Unacceptable! Another bush behind her started to shake, followed by the sound of more giggling. She rushed to the bush, moving it to the side and behind it there was a little Nightmaren girl, she just looked at the elder and smiled.
- Hi! – She said cheerfully
She was about the size of a very young visitor, her skin was a really pale blue, like a ghost, her hair was long and pitch black, and her big round eyes were blood red. All she wore was a long pure white dress with sleeves longer than her own arms, nothing was covering her feet, and her horns resembled the shape of a bow on the back of her head.
Ramel sighed - Darah, what are you doing here? –
The young Nightmaren smiled innocently – I saw you taking a nap under that tree, so I decided to play a little with you! - She curiously covered her mouth with her hand - Actually... I have something to tell you. Do you want to hear it? –
Ramel frowned – Darah, please, I'm not in the mood for you right now. - This made the younger Nightmaren pout a bit.
- No? -
- No! You know I never trusted you before! And you know exactly why.
- All I wanted was to show you a special place that I found… -The young Nightmaren smiled sadistically as her head slowly tilted to the side.
The mummy looked curious at her and sighed. - What place is even that? –
Ramel always knew, by experience, that every time Darah invited others to any "special" place, it meant that she was up to no good. Ramel never trusted the little girl's appearance, even if she looked harmless in the outside, she was an unconscious backstabber on the inside.
- What place? – She repeated and felt that once again her curiosity was going to get the best of her but she couldn't avoid listening to the girl's soft voice.
- Well…- Darah continued with a smile – It's an imaginary place, a dreamland inside another dreamland, but you don't want to go so…-
- Is it dangerous? Or do you just want to get trouble?-
- I don't know… I've never been there before…-
Ramel glared at her- And I assume you want some company to test your idiotic murdering games.
- This is a different game… Destiny has called for you. - She let out a short giggle, sort of like a hiccup.
- Very funny. - Ramel groaned - I'll go see your stupid place then! To see whatever "destiny" has in store for me!
