Notes: I thought Duo would make a good Nightmare...
Summary (by Ides, thanks bunches darhling): In a land of intrigue and mystery the lines between Darkness and Light are unclear. Does salvation await two young men dead inside?

Part 1
The nightmare had returned. It was the same.
...screaming...
[The sounds of screams, sickeningly cut off as a hail of arrows rained down on the people]
...blood...
[Corpses bleeding everywhere, still-warm bodies twitching on the ground]
...death everywhere...
[The sound of stilled breathing- and worse, the death rattle- assaulted his ears]
...stop...
[He looked around, and fell to his knees. He felt cold as the sickening mix of mud and blood soaked into his knees, forever marking him as the creator of this sick mess]
...please stop it...
["Stop," he heard someone whisper. He looked over and saw someone still alive. They were spattered with blood and core, their lower torso simply gone. "Please, make the pain stop," they- she- begged.
He nodded and strode over and concentrated his will. She closed her eyes and as he spoke the word.
"Die," he said, and with this word he terminated the life of the woman. He heard a scream]
...no...
["NO!" he heard and turned. A little boy ran over the bodies, falling several times but each time standing up with a new plethora of gore decorating his torn and stained clothing.
He fell beside the now dead woman's form. He closed his eyes and began to cry, hands gripping the woman's shirt. "No mama, why," he whispered. He looked up at the man who had killed his mother. "Why?"]
...why...
~~~~~
Heero sat up in bed, breathing heavily. He ran a hand through his messy, sweat soaked bangs and shook his head several times to clear it. He thrust the blankets off his body and stood up, ignoring the sudden change in temperature.
He walked across the cold floor to the window and stared up at the moon, as if Luna herself would give him the answers to all his questions.
But the goddess of the moon remained silent, as was her right.
"Why?" he asked harshly. "Goddamnit, why?!" he growled, pounding his hands on the window sill. He cursed again and closed his eyes briefly, before groping for a candle. He would get no more sleep this night.
