Dark Rose entered the cavern and felt uneasy. Something wasn't right. She flicked her wrist and her wooden sword came to her hand. She glanced at it briefly, somewhat surprised, but the crushing presence near her grabbed her attention once more. "Who's there? Show yourself!" She growled. Her eyes widened as the cave became darker. "HEROBRINE!" She ran towards the room that she had made the deity.

Herobrine was fighting something in his sleep it seemed. He was having a nightmare. Dark Rose didn't have to know about Nightshade to know that a god having a nightmare wasn't a good omen. She ran towards him, dropping her sword to the floor as she went and started shaking him, despite the powers that he possessed.

"Herobrine, wake up! It's a nightmare! Come on, wake up!"

"Let him sleep a little longer, young one…" Dark Rose turned towards the voice. Standing in the light of the lava, a tall female standing at about three blocks high. She had dark eyes that seemed to glow with a black energy surrounding her brown eyes. Her hair was dark black with red streaks in it. Her gown was made out of shadows and she had fishnet tights and gloves. Her voice was cold and yet seductive. Dark Rose got into a fighting stance. "My, it's been so long that I almost forgot what you looked like, Dawn. Heh, still wearing that stupid shirt, but I will admit, the hat style is different." Dark Rose glared. She risked a glance towards her wooden sword. This caused the demoness deity to laugh. "Don't even try it, I can move faster than you, especially in your new body. Poor thing, you probably don't even remember me, do you? My name is Nightshade…"

"I don't have to ta know that you're the reason my friend won't wake up… and I have a feeling you're the reason for a lot of the other issues I have back in my homeworld, aren't you?" Dark grabbed her hat slowly and brought it to her chest.

"Well… yes, I will take credit for that, but I will also say how surprised I am at how far you've come. I mean, I certainly didn't expect you to last for ten years, ten years, in such a heavy depression. I thought that I had finished you when you were in eighth grade, what with you trying to drown yourself and all, heh, but here we are, four years later and you… how do you put it? Still standing?" Her smile sent a chill down Dark Rose's spine. She didn't budge though. She didn't care about her life at the moment. Her friend needed help, and she had to get rid of this witch to do that.

"Yeah… I'm still standing… so how did we meet before?" She kept her voice even, relaxing her muscles to make a sprint for her sword.

"Oh? You mean that your boyfriend didn't tell you? Huh, and here I thought he wouldn't keep anything from you." Her smile got wider, showing her disturbingly perfect teeth. "The truth of the matter is I was there at your creation. You were made to be my apprentice, my helper if you will. Oh it was grand having a guardian in the beginning, but then I realized that you weren't panning out the way I'd hoped. You might find yourself afraid of fire and bombs, right?"

"You left me to burn, didn't you?"

"You always were smarter than the other guardians. Which brings me to wonder… why you never claimed to be the leader and yet everyone said you were… ah, but I digress, we were talking about introductions, which leads up to how come you've got this stupid hero worship for that boy of a god." She pointed threateningly at Herobrine. Dark Rose made sure she was in front of him in case of an attack. "He rescued you from the fire, though you were just obeying orders like I told you to. I had to hypnotize you to stand in the middle of the forest while I set it alight of course, but it almost ended your miserable existence." Her laughter was colder than a blizzard in the arctic circle. "You always had to go and help people. Why?"

"It's who I am, even today if what you're saying is true…" Her voice held steady while inside her head she was going through the tale she had been told and trying to use it to unlock any memories. She stole a quick glance back towards Herobrine who was still tossing and turning in the leaves. She then looked towards her sword. It was only a few feet away.

"What are you going to do now, little Sunrise Warrior? You're hero is trapped in a nightmare, or rather, a memory, and you're sponsor is trapped in my realm." She just kept laughing.

Just laughing, like all those bullies. Belittling her, just like her mother. She looked up to the deity and gave a dangerous smirk. She wasn't at home. She was stronger. There were no teachers to scold her if she beat this lady up. Her mother wouldn't mind so long as she managed to survive. She had a chance. "What am I going to do, Nightshade?" She raised her hat as though to place it back on her head. "This," She then tossed the deerstalker to the goddess of nightmare's face. "Spinning hat of doom!" Surprising both girls, the hat started spinning faster like a buzz saw as Dark Rose made a dash for her sword. Her hat was knocked back by the deity as Dark started hitting her back with her sword.

"Why you little brat! You think that will stop me?"

"What do I look like? An idiot? Don't answer that. Of course not, but I won't die without a fight!" She batted continuously as her mind started to hurt. 'What's going on? I keep finding myself hitting her. My attacks seem to be pushing her farther away from Herobrine at least, so that's good. What can I do though? This thing will break soon and… is that a chunk of obsidian?' She looked at her wooden sword with a pained expression as it shattered. "Oh Fractions!"

She looked up in time to be swatted back by the deity. She blacked out as she was knocked against three blocks of obsidian. The blocks were shattered, and so was Dark Rose. "You never did understand. I can destroy you at a whim, and always, you had to go against me. Well now you can't stand even if you survived that attack. If you have survived then you shall witness the crumbling of this world that you so love as I burn it to the ground. I have enough players to pick through for this, hehe. They think themselves creators, but soon they will see that they are this world's destruction."

In a puff of dark black smoke, Nightshade was gone and Dark Rose was still lying on her side with her back against the obsidian blocks. Herobrine was still in his nightmarish memory…
