The Nightmares would go as the following:
As the night begins to set and the noise of the outside start grow quieter and quieter, you finally surrender to your natural needs and fall asleep. But as you open your eyes in your dream, you'd find yourself back in the same bed you fell asleep in. The air around you would be cold, any sense of warmth would be gone from the room you were in. No matter what you would try to do to warm yourself up, it would not work. No matter if you put more clothes on, try to start a fire, or something else. Seeing as your attempts had not succeeded in anything, you leave your house and move out to at least try to talk to someone, try to figure out where this unexpected cold had came from, but as you step out to the streets, you would see no sign of life. The streets were empty of wandering merchants and passer-byres. No music coming from the taverns. No humming of mothers attempting to put their kids to sleep. For all you can see, everyone has left, the only thing left was the shine of the full moon above you. Then, from out of nowhere, a cold breeze rushes towards you. And then, you see nothing but darkness around you. Slowly, your eyes adjust to the pitch void around you and as they do you notice that something have changed. Each and every building around have turned into a graveyard, able to hold every single resident in each building. As your hearth starts to pump faster and faster, you start to hear an almost heavenly voice of a female, echoing through the night's sky; "You missed out.." You turn around, but there's no one behind you. The voice speaks once again; "Everyone has joined already.." As it uttered the words the graves around you begin shake as the undead start to dig themselves out. "It doesn't matter.. We shall invite you.." And with that, the undead slowly start to march towards you, their arms raised in your direction, their jaws wide open and their eyes glowing with a blue hue. Just as soon as the horde would consume you, you jump awake.

As you sit straight in your bed, you begin to hear the giggle of the same voice that was whispering in your dream. You quickly pan around to try and spot if you can see the source of the sound, but all you would be able to see is a ghostly figure of a lady disappearing through a nearby wall into nothingness, leaving you sweating and confused in your bed.

Special Nightmare for Zladimir de Tiri
Zladimir awakens in his bed. The rays of the rising Sun shines through the bedroom window, signaling the start of a new day. He would be alone in the bedroom, Anne, the kid and the cats gone from sight. 'They are probably somewhere in the keep' the markgraf then moves to the bathroom, splashing some water onto his face and with the morning care done, he heads towards the dining room. On his way he runs into no servants, no family members, if not for the well kept and lit up state of the keep, he would think its been abandoned. None-the-less he makes it into the dining room, where he finally spots Anne, facing away from him and holding something, most likely their child. Zladimir slowly walks up to them, a smile crossing his face, but this happy state would not last for long.

As he gets close, he sees flies hovering around his wife upon which his speed slowly picks up, sensing something wrong and as he stops besides his wife, the unholy horror in front of him unfolds. The decomposing body of Anne set in the chair, with their rotting child laying in her arms, both of their face's showing utter terror, even after the, what could be assumed, multiple weeks of rotting later. As this image becomes clearer and clearer in front of him, the walls of the keep begin to crumble and fall to the side, the floor beneath his feet becomes a slimy substance of dirt and mud. He starts sinking into the ground whilst spotting more and more of his loved-ones surrounding him. Aleksander, Bartosz, Vozimir and more now stared right at him with their glowing blue eyes. From the crowd, he hears the giggle of a woman and just as he is fully consumed by the ground around him, he wakes up. As he pans around the room, he's be able to hear the giggle again, but now he's be able to see the source of the sound. Seeing a ghostly figure that looks like a noble lady before it dissappears into nothingness.

Special Nightmare for Veredra von Lichtenfelts

Veredra finds herself in utter darkness as she enters her dream. She attempts to move her arms but as she tries all she is able to feel is chains around her wrists. She was chained up, restrained against some brick wall. The cell was quiet with the only thing audible was the sound of water dropping. After a time that could have felt an eternity for the Kaiserine, a single lit candle appeared, which would illuminate the room she was in just enough to take in its shape. The room in the dream had the looks of the cell where she had executed many... many people and even one of her friends not too long ago, it seemed like it was the cell in the Adelsburg keep. But now, it was her on the receiving end.

The room wasn't have anything different from the one she had been in many times before, though it was probably a new way of looking at the room, now that she was viewing it from the prisoner's point of view. The only thing that was different, was a pool of blood forming at the entrance of the cell. And then, out of nowhere, a drop of blood formed a ripple in the small pool. Her gaze slowly rises, attempting to find the source of the drop; up on the ceiling was the tied up body of her husband, gored to the point it was barely recognizable, the only reason blood wasn't flowing out of him at this point was because he likely had already fully bled out. The dead body's eyes were now blue of colour and staring right into her soul. Then the door was forced open and as she turned to it, she sees multiple pairs of eyes staring right at her at once. The horde starting walk towards her, their faces slowly but surely being lite up by the candle's flame. The group was made up of everyone that she has executed and the group was led by the one she has killed not that long ago, by Ashlyn. All she was able to hear was the chain clanking and the laughter of a woman. Just before a killing strike would be delivered onto her, she wakes up and sees the ghastly shape of a lady, boasting the same giggle to the one that she heard in her nightmare.

Special Nightmare for Krisa Amadeus
Krisa suddenly opens his eyes to find himself in the middle of a place he hadn't been to in a while; the snowy tundra's of what once was Avalheim. Although it wasn't anywhere near the city, instead he found himself on the southern island, staring into an entrance of something that had caved in. Intrigued by it the orc steps inside finding a circular room full of statues and in the middle of the room stands a familiar denur with his back turned towards him; Thalgrim. And as the denur slowly turns around, his face half rotten face cracking an uncanny smile at Krisa as he opens up his book and a tear in reality starting to open and multiple skeletal hands come out of the tear and start pulling it further and further apart as an exoskeleton starts to form around Thalgrim and he starts to laugh.

But with a quick blink in his eyes the orc appears in the desert in front of his manner, the sight reassuring but quickly fading as his vineyard started to wilt and quickly rot away. As he quickly runs into his house what could be presumed to be Avalon was but a skeleton in her clothing. Sparking to life and grasping for him before another blink of his eyes saved him from the sight, now the familiar savanna before him. He was in front of Zadh-Nadrozz although with the last two visions the worst was feared, as the orc turned around though it was peaceful and quiet, Rud Rib and Yuzgash awaiting him by the gate, bringing him inside to meet his grand-kids and have a family dinner. In the middle of it again with the blink of his eyes his spawn was skeletons reaching onto the table towards him as he heard the giggling of a lady echoing through the former denur hold. The orcish man then jolted awake, only seeing the glimpse of a phantom lady leaving his room through the walls.



All could hear a voice echo through the night skies after the figure had left; "It doesn't matter how much you resist, I will get you all one day. If you want it or not, you will sit besides me."

Elduin tossed and turned in the cherry blossom tree of the Library of Thyst, his usual napping spot when he didn't bear the energy to go home. His usually steady breath begins to uneven itself and cause him to hyperventilate, the light skin of his face becoming paler as each breath struggles to keep itself contained. He shot up from the branch he slept on in a cold sweat, the sudden movement causing him to yell and fall out of the tree altogether. Thankfully, he was diligent enough to produce a cloud underneath himself, breaking the fall amid his panic.

Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted the ghostly woman, staring intensely at her as she vanished from his sight, the insidious giggles remaining in his mind as his body kept itself in a state of delirium from his sudden wake. He wiped the back of his palm across his forehead, his breathing slowing down enough to calm himself.

Now that he had the time to process both the rather traumatizing dream and the vision from beyond the veil, Elduin groaned in annoyance more than anything else.


"Ohhh... FUCK no." The 'cill swore under his breath. He was not mentally ready for this.

His head shot up hearing the loud branch noises, looking through a window to see the swearing high elf Elduin before turning back to his frantic writing. "That's unusual..." He would have normally just forgotten the high elf's unusual behavior, were it not for the voice in the night, making him unsure who was talking.

“Voids above- WHO TURNED OFF THE TROPICAL WEATHER?!She shouted, flinging her blanket off of herself. Sleeping in a treehouse had its benefits, like being able to look down on other people and observe the world around from a vantage point, but the teen had to blink several times into the dim of night from her house, and even when she went down to the coast to figure out if anything odd was occurring, she realized the stench in the air and the sights around her were not what they were supposed to be.

The teen went even paler than she already was, her fingers curling into little fists at her sides. “Wolke! Wol-..” She then realized that the familiar did not respond, nor could she feel anything but a shiver to her bones, and her eyes widened as she heard that voice. “Join.. Join what?! Nope, still too young for a grave!”
Echo’s head was shooting around, and at the signs of those monsters rising from their cold, decrepit graves she swore she saw some familiar faces among them, only to desperately, in a panicked state of mind, blur them out entirely. Instead, panic took ahold of the young elfling, and not able to find any way through those bodies rising from their early graves, Echo kind of just.. Locked down.

The young elf woke up with a start, her eyes shooting open and her blankets being thrown off, along with Echo hitting the ground of her little dwelling with a gasp, panting for air as she realised she had flung one of her plushies against the papers on her desk, making a mess of it. Barely catching a glimpse of that ethereal figure Echo did not calm down much more, her body shaking and the little elf’s eyes widened, before darting around as her brain managed to finally catch up, and she pat her own form down to realize that she was, in fact, not murdered in her bed. “I… What the.. What was that?! I gotta ask around..” Echo, with her breathing still ragged and unable to catch with her body, pushed herself to her shaky legs, looking around once more. There’d likely be some trips in order for the teen.
 
His heart pounds erratically in his chest as he awakens from the chilling nightmare, his body drenched in a cold sweat. Panic grips his mind as he struggles to shake off the lingering images of the undead horde and the haunting voice that echoed through the darkness.

Gasping for breath, he frantically scans the room, searching for any sign of the spectral figure that had tormented him in his dream. But all he finds is the empty silence of his surroundings, the only sound the rapid thumping of his own heart. trembling, He struggles to steady his nerves, his mind reeling from the surreal terror of the nightmare. He takes a few deep breaths, trying to calm the frantic beat of his heart, reminding himself that it was just a dream, nothing more.
"It's nothing.. Aldarian.. you are just imagining things.. don't worry just that woman is trying to scare you.. but it is nothing more than just a dream.." As the last echoes of the nightmare fade from his mind, Aldarian slowly begins to regain his composure. He sits in the darkness for a moment longer, gathering his thoughts and trying to shake off the residual fear that lingers like a shroud before he would look to his side at his wife, Aestaeana as she seemed to be still sleeping normally "So long.. she.. is fine then I will be fine.. but perhaps.. it's time I pay a certain someone.. a visit.. about.. such." Finally, with a exhale, he pushes aside the lingering dread and rises from his bed. With each step, he moves closer to the reassuring light of reality, Leaving the haunting specter of his nightmare behind him for now.. Though shaken, he is still of such. He prepares himself for the upcoming danger that might stumble upon him.

Ike sits up in bed, his breaths shallow and uneven, though he knows he doesn’t really need to breathe anymore– A habit. “Huh.” Despite the terror that haunted his dreams, there isn’t an appropriate response from his side– Fear being nothing more than a distant memory.

As he swings his legs over the side of the bed, Ike tries to shake off the cognitive sense of dread he had due to past memories, but it's like trying to grasp smoke with his bare hands.
“Pull yourself together.” He mutters, it was more of a habit than any genuine belief that it’ll help or get him to feel something.
With a resigned sigh, Ike pushes himself to his feet– Movements mechanical and devoid of any real purpose.
“No time for dwelling on such silly things–” The words ring hollow in his ears.

After a prolonged moment of contemplation, the Tiefling finally breaks his silence with a faint murmur. “–Got parrots to feed. You can tell someone later. With a shake of his head, Ike dismisses everything as a mere hallucination.. The tasks of daily life no longer hold the same allure they once did, Ike clings to them nonetheless– He believes they provide some semblance of normalcy.

Ignorance is bliss.
 
“You saw a woman in your dream? That is odd, don’t go telling Anne that now. The last time I told your aunt something like that, I lost my bed for weeks” Aleksander would chuckle as he reminisced before he noticed a more serious expression on Zladimir’s face. “Oh don’t look like that Zlad, if demons have to enter your dreams it is because they are afraid of us in the waking world, where Alder’s strength flows through us. And most of all, a woman demon? There is nothing to be worried about.”
 
"No.."

Nightmares were no strangers to Veredra. They frequented her nights more often than dreams, a constant reminder of her past deeds. Typically, she could push through the discomfort they brought, a resilience forged through her role as Kaiserin. But this nightmare had carved a deeper wound in her mind. It was different—more raw.. more haunting.

"No—no..leave me alone!"

She stirred uneasily, her breath catching in her throat as fragments of her dream clung to her consciousness.

"NO!"

Her icy blue eyes snapped open as she awoke with a sharp gasp, the terror from her nightmare bleeding into reality. Sweat plastered her black curls against her clammy skin. Her chest heaved as she panted, her heart thundering against her ribs like a wild animal trying to escape. In the pitch darkness, her hands scrambled desperately across the cool, tangled sheets seeking reassurance in the form of her husband's touch. Her fingers trembled as they traced the contours of his hand, her grip tightening around it the moment she found it. The contact was almost grounding. Perhaps the only thing that pulled her back from the brink of panic and forcefully dragged her into reality.

Relief washed over her in a wave, yet it was only a mere sliver of comfort against the raw edge of her fright. The images from her dream.. the blood, the haunting eyes, the sinister laughter.. all lingered in the corners of her mind, taunting her. The room felt oppressively silent, each breath she took sounding too loud in the quiet. As Diederick continued to sleep undisturbed, Veredra lay beside him, her eyes wide open and unseeing in the dark. She knew one thing for sure and that was sleep would escape her now. It would be days before exhaustion claimed her again. Days of jumping at shadows and flinching at sounds only she could hear, until her body could no longer withstand keeping her awake and she would inevitably collapse.
 
A young wood elven woman stays up late into the Anjyarri night, arranging documents and writing a letter. Just before she turns in for the night, she hears the ghostly voice just like anyone up at that dark hour. She shudders and goes to bed, thinking it was just a hallucination from the lack of sleep.

A typical night on the outskirts of Konigstein, Nihil and Adele are sound asleep in their home. A cold sweat creeps up Nihil's skin as he tosses and turns in his sleep. Sensing his distress, Adele reaches out to him, her voice laced with concern. Nihil jolts upright, gasping for air, his eyes darting around the room until they fixate on a dark spot in the center. Adele gently takes his hand, reassuring him, "It's okay, Nihil. I'm here." Her gaze follows his to the dark spot, but she sees nothing. As a wave of relief washes over him, Nihil's tense demeanor melts away, and he leans into her, tears welling up in his eyes. "I thought I lost you" he manages to choke out. Adele soothes him, whispering words of comfort, "It's alright, it was just a bad dream. I'm here, safe with you" His tears subside abruptly as he pulls away from her and leaps out of bed, rushing out of the room. Adele tries to stop him, asking what's wrong, but to no avail. All she can do is follow him, lighting a candle for guidance.

Barefoot on the cold earth, Nihil stands bathed in the moonlight, his eyes frantically scanning their surroundings. The only sounds are the chirping of crickets and the crashing of waves against a distant shore. Adele approaches him, placing a hand on his shoulder and asking, "
Do you want to talk about it?" He turns to her, his voice filled with worry, "Something's happening. I saw her, I saw a ghost." Adele tries to reassure him with a comforting smile, "A ghost? I don't think a ghost would have any reason to target you in particular." Nihil takes a step back from her, his face etched with confusion and disbelief, "You... you didn't see her..." he mutters before darting towards the kitchen. But before he can take a step, the ghost's voice echoes from the clear sky.

Adele instinctively reaches for where she keeps the knife, but she had forgotten it in her haste to follow Nihil. Her voice trembles as she whispers, "
Alder, save us."

damn he cheating? Anne will commit murder
 
As Nowù drifted away and opened her eyes again the chills immediately ran over her, annoyed she got out of bed storming down the stairs and into the basement "MAPLE, YER FREEZIN' YER KIDS LIKE THIS!" she quickly shouted as she got down the stairs but was surprised to find the bed empty where Maple was supposed to sleep and the beds of her niece and nephew empty as well. 'Did she take'm t'André?' Nowù thought to herself before shaking her head and trying to channel her connection to Ignos to heat herself up but to no avail. "Fuck'n.." The tiefling cursed to herself, an annoyed expression plaguing her face 'So it's a dream hm?..' She thought, knowing her usual abilities like the palms of her hands she wielded them with.

After taking a deep, cold breath she headed upwards to the roof of her sand-land house peering over the streets 'Quite lonely hm.. Ye tryin' t'get me motivated to work harder?' Her thoughts kept going, giving her ideas of the worst outcome there was, yet she stayed calm. With a blink of her eyes however she stood no longer on her roof but at the ground in front of her house, turning around to see it have the perfect amount of graves for Maple and her children with the addition of a yet to be filled grave. This startled her instincts and let her peer around her quickly and snap her fingers to rip open flames and form a tear, but it didn't appear, 'Right.. A nightmare..' She thought, taking another deep breath with empty eyes but quickly opened them in shock as she heard the dead dig themselves out, her breathing getting irregular as fear and panic finally started to get a grip on her.

And when she heard the giggles of the lady her piercing gaze looked around to find its source, ignoring the undead now as they started to all grab a hold of her. Nowù jumped awake in her bed, flames immediately erupting, a tear open and her entire bedroom ablaze, the tieflings eyes quickly finding the disappearing ghostly figure yet not quite making out who they were. She used her left hand to pinch her nose-bridge and her right hand to collect all the flames around her in it and grasp them away. "So the fight's on aye?" Nowù spoke to herself as she got out of bed, hearing the last two sentences spoken by the lady and responding no matter if the ghost could hear her or not; "As if I'd let'cha, yer gon' find out how hot m'flames can go y'bitch." And with that, the usually pastel coloured flame that burnt in her eyes now burnt pale white.
