He was under that mountain again.
Unable to move, crushed by the weight of the rocks that sank more every second into his flesh, destroying his bones and causing his lungs to collapse, preventing him from breathing.
In that nightmare of panic and pain, DBK's thoughts went to his son and his wife, whom he feared he would never see again this time ...
"DBK! My love !".
Odd that in that immense silence, and knowing how far she was, safe, he could hear her voice as if she were right next to him ...
"DBK! MY LOVE! WAKE UP !"
After what had seemed like an eternity, her husband finally opened his eyes.
Princess Iron Fan sighed in relief.
"My love calm down. It was just a nightmare. You're safe", she whispered softly to her husband, taking in a sweet motion his hands in hers. They were shaking from the panic created by the nightmare she knew he just had, but after a while, after she stroked them for a few minutes, the shaking began to subside as DBK's breathing and heartbeat stabilized.
"I'm sorry my love", were the first words the King spoke, "I waked you up... again". It was not the first time it happened that he disturbed his sweet wife sleep because of his nightmares of when that stupid simian sealed him under that cursed mountain.
"Don't be", PIF replied, placing a soft kiss on her husband lips, caressing his horns with love, "I will always be there for you, no matter what".
DBK looked at her with loving eyes, before lying down again, one next to each other, embracing softly.
He was lucky PIF was his wife.
He could have never ask for someone better than her.
