All dreams come to an end. In this nightmare that reality felt as if it were set in stone. Nemui never expected it. No one ever does.
As if in slow motion, she reached forward as the golden arrow pierced her Core, watching as the crystal containing her very existence shattered into innumerable pieces. Shock had been and gone. Nemui could only watch as her sparkling lifeblood glinted upon the arrowtip, feeling the glints holding herself together begin to deconstruct into fragments; the consistency of the stardust felt like mush in her mouth, the slight tinge of copper filling her senses.
“It’s okay,” she reminded herself, feeling panic attack her as she trembled, watching with blurred vision as her hands began to dissipate into flecks of stardust. “I-It’s...it’s...g-going to b-be okay…” her voice audibly whispered, trembling and weakening in resolve. Was it a nightmare? Or some kind of demon who had come to torment her?
She’d made this choice to remain mortal, to not violate the laws of life and death, the coming and going of generations and voices. Now, she was paying for it.
“N-No...I-I’m not ready to go yet...I…!”
Her legs began to fade, tears shimmering like chimes in the distant wind. She felt a strange serenity, an acceptance. The Dreamwalker closed her teary eyes with a soft smile. “It’s...alright. I fought. I lost. Now I rest…”
It was with a shuddering gasp and a sudden fit of sobs that Nemui awoke, such was the fright that she tumbled out of her bed and onto the floor. Frantically, she lifted her hands and quickly placed them to her chest, feeling that her Core was still intact. Exhaling panicked, unnecessary and juttering breaths, Nemui felt herself choke on the lump in her throat in relief. Her chest rose and fell rapidly, her form crumpling over and long locks littering the floor. She was still here...was this relief for her, or for the Dreamers? She did not know, nor truly care, she just hugged her own limbs close to her body, crying out the fear she carried with her, of her mortality and her finality. Had it been the right choice?
She glanced up to the sunrise, a frown upon her teary face. The sunlight reflected off her amber eyes, the light beautifully cascading a symphony of radiance off of the frozen pool of tears beneath the bear’s paws. Her bed, her room was coated in a thick layer of panic-induced frost, the frightened ursine watching as dawn graced the sky of a new day. Even that, in future, would fade away. The thought lingered in her mind as she flicked her ears in deep thought, her nerves beginning to settle. Yes, it had been the right choice. It’s what she would leave behind which mattered and what she fought for. Perhaps this nightmare had been sent to remind her...perhaps why she did not bother to fight it; some things must be learned the hard way.
As the dawn stretched across her shimmering form, she slowly rose to her feet and sank back into her dewy bed. Her eyes lidded as she attempted to resume slumber which she found purchase in the safety of relief.

Heck, sorry for the sad story. This is a piece of vent art I commissioned, due to recent events both in real life and online. Some horrible things have been said about me whilst I've been trying to do good things for good people. I'm really frustrated and angry, but I mostly feel heartbroken & oddly heavy. I know I'll be alright; it's just another nightmare to conquer. I have wonderful people in my life who make me smile. ♥
