The war between the two guardian rulers and their kingdoms lasted for countless generations. Then came the news that Nightmare went ahead and got himself some new "friends".. Dream's soldiers were easily overpowered. Battles were being lost and the...
As the sun just barely peeks behind the castle's roof, a shadow starts to form over the upper part of the courtyard. A small set of table and chairs are placed here, as I usually have my lunch while overlooking the garden. Although, it has been a while since the last time I had the time to.

(Writer~San: I get a lot of secret garden or fantasy castle vibes from these garden entrances- lol)
"ThEre's So mAny!" Y/N squealed, ecstatically running around the garden. She's observed every single plant, tree, and bush; regardless if they had flowers on them or not.
I smirk at her behavior. I couldn't just not be instantly reminded of a child. It's quite different from the serious demeanor she led on in Reapertale.
