"No, nothing like that. It's just that for something like ten generations my family's suffered from horrible, extremely vivid nightmares."

A scraping sound echoed out of the forest, and something moved in haze of fire and smoke of the burning trees.

"It's strange because all of us have nightmares of the same thing."

“Oh no…” Weaver said. He drew up his scythe, hands gripped tight. 

[Ookla de los Cuervos he/him]

"i have nightmares, but they become so silly to me, that i just dont care. and besides, its just killing those ive already killed." then he stops, and stares, and his eyes widen. "NO- NOT HIM AGAIN"

“This is your worst nightmare! If you have them! You have to understand that you have control! He doesn’t have you, not if you realize that!” Weaver yelled at her. 

Xiylna panics even more. Her breathing speeds up, her heart pounds, sweat trickles down her brow. Each sensation terrifies her more, scares her because she shouldn’t be able to breathe, shouldn’t have a heart, or a brow, or swear. “Right, right, control. IM NOT IN ANY WAY IN CONTROL OF THIS, YOU IDIOT.”

The ground beneath shovel man's feet trembled, and he threw himself to the side just as a column of twisted white spikes made of bone shot up out of the ground.

"We have to get out of here! He'll kill us all!"

All around the group the ground shook, more bone spikes shooting up all around them.

“Close your now-existent eyes. You’ve never breathed before have you? Use it to calm yourself. If you think that this is more real than reality you lose control.”

A clown in a bright Orange jumpsuit covered in pom-poms hops up to him. “Hi-ya Sleeper! Been a while, you’ve spent WAY too much time awake, here and in TLT!”

Weaver dived to the side. “We can’t get out, NOTHING can get us out! We just have to live through the night!”

“I—I used to breathe, once, I…I can’t. I can’t do it, I can’t go back, I can’t become this, I’m not, I—help. Please, please, someone help me. I can’t be human alone. I can’t be human, period. I AM NOT HUMAN.” Xiylna starts to hover above the ground, only about an inch, and she still appears human, but it’s something.

Penn moved over to her in an attempt to distract himself from the shadows. They didn't attack him, they knew they wouldn't need to.

"Is there something wrong with being human? It might not be so bad," he said, trying to be comferting.

“Good, good! Don’t let him have control!” Weaver said, dodging another set of spikes.

“No, no no,” she whimpered. “I was human, once upon a time, I know. I know. I lived a human life, yes, yes I did, oh yes I did.” She started to cry. “Look, look, you see? I can cry. I shouldn’t be able to cry, humans cry, I don’t cry, I can’t be human again, I can’t, I can’t, I can’t, I can’t. Please, please.” She looks up at him, her human eyes shockingly blue. “Please, please don’t make me live. I don’t want to. I can’t do it, I can’t do it, no no no, can you help me? Please?”

Ironic, the shadows in the corner of his eye seemed to say.

The man with the shovel looked terrified, holding his shovel in trembling hands.. "You don't understand. He's tormented every member of my family for the past two hundred and fifty years! We can't fight him, nothing can!"

A shape stumbled out of the forest, movements causing a horrible grinding sound. It looked up with dead eyes gleaming red with reflected firelight, staring directly at the man with the shovel.

As the creature approached, its figure became more clear. It looked almost human, save for the jagged bones jutting from nearly every inch of its body. As it walked, blackened blood dripped from its many wounds, killing everything it touched.

The creature accelerated as it neared the group, opening its mouth in a terrible scream and leaping for the shovel man, who was too terrified to react.

Zodiac's free arm had extended into a twisted, vine-like length of thorns. It impaled through several of the Nightmare creatures, which he had convinced himself were not made of mayonnaise, but instead plain butter on plain white bread.

"The heck's a human?" He asked.

"A mortal being, able to love and hate, I think there are a few here with us," Penn glanced at the man with the shovel.

Xiylna thought about it for a moment, then pulled away. “No, she finally said, sounding calmer. “No, no. To be human is to be weak. To be human is to be temporary. I am neither of those things. I should not be afraid, for I am not human. I cannot die, for I am already dead. Thank you.” As she speaks, her eyes harden to black and she slowly fades back into a cloud of vapor.

“Y-yes,” she says, eyes charcoal. “Yes, I think so. She shivers, her cloud temporarily dispersing. “I don’t want to be a human.” She notices the shadows. “What are those?”

Weaver took off his hood, and ran a hand through his hair. “I wish Clay was here. He’s better with this kind of thing.” He held out his hand to her. “Put your hand in mine.”

Weaver shook his head. “STOP!” He screamed. Everything froze. “We have maybe thirty seconds of frozen time.” He explained. “Use it well.” 
He looked over at the shadows. “Wow. Creepy.”

Did you read my lore? It should help explain this a little.

“I have partial control of time. I’m better at seeing what could happen than this. And fighting agains another Shadowbound’s powers? That’s more difficult.”
