“A light in the dark is all you need to live; it is hope carving through despair. The red-eyed demons that hunker between the sheer crevices of the mind - preying upon those who are left unarmed in their journey- strike cruelly, and with great sadistic glee. You must look to the light to find your way, and to strike down the beasts that run rampant in your darker corners.”
A twisting vortex of dazzling sparks crackling along the jagged lengths of electricity, howling like the eye of a maelstrom around the churning pandemonium of flocking nightmares and their eternal enemy. Their screeches and wails of rage, hate, and pain, all mingle well with the ferocious cry of a female sharing the same emotions. Whereas the beasts skittered and clawed the storm clouds of whatever heaven was denied to them- a heaven they wished to tear down- the female amongst them fought to preserve the beauty of this land set within the stars, and beyond the veil of reality. This was no simple skirmish, but rather a war that had been brewing for centuries on end - with both sides in a desperate dance of dominance that left one teetering on the precipice of annihilation. Nemui let out another roar that fit her ursine nature, but was utterly alien to her beautiful form (stained by the blue-ish blood drawn by her nemeses) as her eyes shine like twin suns in the twilight of the storm - fingers clutching and tugging on strings of pure light that rendered the nightmare beasts into ragged ribbons from their touch. They came in droves, howling and screeching, but she met them with a rage akin to Ursa Major - her jaws stretched wide in the cosmos as if threatening to devour all the darkness below. It was chaos clashing with order, a classic motif of light and dark stuck in a hurricane of violence - something beautiful, but oh so disturbing. A lucky swipe of a nightmare struck Nemui’s crown and broke it in twain- sending it flying from her head- and the Celestial Guardian of Dreams answered with a shrill scream of fury as the threads enclosed the thing and twisted its form until it popped like a squeezed grape. The tide was never ending in red eyes and gaping maws dripping saliva, but it was nothing Nemui could not deter, nothing she would be unused to. This was just another battle in a war that would never end.
