Chapter 3: Xana's First Nightmare

Night time in the Shane Hideout. Everyone was sleeping peacefully. Except for little Xana. She was stirring in her sleep as she was having a nightmare for the first time.

[Nightmare]

The monstrous Dr. Blakk was cackling maniacally as he fired several thousand ghouls from his gattler. Heltora lashed out at everything with her dark whips, cackling. An emperor-looking man was slashing his big sword and firing ghouls from it. A giant silhouette stood over all 3 of them as it reached out and prepared to grab little Xana.

[Nightmare End]

Xana woke up and started crying. Eli, Harley and Eliza ran in, having heard her crying from their rooms. "Oh, my poor little Xana." Eliza said as she picked Xana up. "She must've had a nightmare." Eli said. "It's okay, Xana. It was just a bad dream." Eliza said, giving Xana her Infurnus toy. But Xana still kept crying as she hugged her toy. "Maybe if we sing her our lullaby, she might calm down." Harley said. "Good thinking, Harley." Eli said. "Then let's all sing together." Eliza said. The 3 of them started singing together.

[Legend is Found]

Where the south wind meets the sea

There's a river full of memory

Sleep, my darling, safe and sound

For in this river, legend is found

In her waters deep and true

Lie the answers and a path for you

Dive down deep into her sound

But not too far or you'll be drowned

Yes, she will sing to those who hear

And in her song all magic flows

But can you brave what you must fear?

Can you face what the river knows?

Where the south wind meets the sea

There's a mother, full of memory

Come, my darling, homeward bound

When all is lost, then legend is found

As they sang, Xana stopped crying and fell asleep in Eliza's arms, cuddling her toy. Eli, Harley and Eliza smiled at her. "We'll take care of you always, Xana." Eliza said as she kissed Xana's forehead and placed her back in her crib. "That's a promise." Eli said. Xana slept sweetly as her mother and brothers left.
