Emily Gravestone, the younger sister of Silas Gravestone, lays on the bed of her gothic styled room, reading a book titled, Exploring The Dark Arts.
The skull themed decor and low intensity ambient lighting, might be unsettling to some, but Emily finds it very calming and relaxing.
As the teenage girl continues to read her book, her brother suddenly barges into the room, ruining the peace and quiet.
Silas Gravestone: Where were you?! You missed training again! (Silas yells in anger)
Emily doesn't even turn to acknowledge his presence, she simply tries to ignore him. But Silas Gravestone, will not be ignored.
Silas Gravestone: Answer me when I'm talking to you! (Silas shouts)
Emily Gravestone: Don't you knock? (Emily asks, staring back at him coldly)
Silas Gravestone: Don't you understand responsibility?! (Silas snaps, irritated by her attitude)
Emily Gravestone: I am not interested in practicing with your little glee club. (Emily tells him)
Silas Gravestone: Glee Club?! We're preparing ourselves for the end of the world! If you're not strong enough before that happens, then you'll be...
"I will get strong enough!" (Emily shouts, getting off her bed in anger)... I can get stronger on my own! I don't need you, I don't need Harry, and I don't need that monster pretending to be our grandfather! (Emily yells, staring down Silas with her glowing red eyes)
Silas Gravestone: Lower your voice. (Silas warns, his glaring eyes also burning red)
Emily Gravestone: Or what?! (Emily growls, not backing down from this confrontation)
(Knock Knock Knock)
"Breakfast is ready, Young Master and Mistress. You may now enter the dining room." (Harry tells them, standing outside the open door, waiting for them dutifully)
Silas Gravestone: Thanks, Harry. (Silas tells him, leaving the room without saying anything more)
Emily Gravestone: Thanks. (Emily said before also leaving the room)
The two siblings are now in the dining area, sitting far across from each other. The dining room table is filled with many delicacies, too much for two people to ever finish in one sitting.
Standing close by are two lovely looking maids, waiting to attend to any request the siblings may have.
Silas Gravestone: Inspect. (Silas whispered, trying to do this without getting caught)
[Inspect]
[Name: Emily Gravestone]
[Race: Human (Dream Demon)]
[Title: Nightmare Tamer]
[Level: 9]
[Skills: Queen Of Nightmares]
Emily Gravestone: How many times must I tell you to stop doing that? (Emily immediately calls him out, anger crossing her face)
Silas Gravestone: Do what? (Silas asks, pretending he doesn't know what she's talking about)
Emily Gravestone: Stop checking my stats, Silas! (Emily yells)
Silas Gravestone: Okay, okay! But you actually surprised me, you've really improved. But you might have evolved by now if you were training with me. (Silas tells her)
Emily Gravestone: You have your way of doing things, and I have mine. Let's keep it that way. (Emily tells him)
Silas Gravestone: Fine, whatever you're doing seems to be working, so I'm not going to bother you to join us in training. But please, don't slack off. (Silas tells her)
Emily Gravestone: I never slack off. (Emily replied, taking an angry bite of her food)
Silas Gravestone: (Chuckles) After this, let's go somewhere, just you and me. There's a place I want to show you, and I think you're gonna like it. (Silas tells her with a smile)
Emily Gravestone: Whatever. (Emily replied nonchalantly)
A short while later, a red rift opens at the top of a massive stone watchtower, the two siblings stepping out to observe the colourful city down below.
Silas Gravestone: So, what do you think? (Silas asks, a smile on his face as he waited to hear her answer)
Emily Gravestone: What the hell is this? (Emily asks, a look of disgust and anger on her face)
Below them is a very colourful place, a grand city inhabited by human sized teddy bear people, who are all talking and behaving like they're in a kid's cartoon.
"La La La de da! I love friendship!" (A bear yells)
"Hey, me too!" (Another replied)
The colourful displays of love and friendship makes Emily feel sick to her stomach, especially the annoying singing.
Emily Gravestone: Is this a nightmare?! Is this hell?! (Emily asks in dread)
Silas Gravestone: Nope, this is just a weird dream domain I found. You'd think a place like this was created by a kid's dream, but judging by how sophisticated these structures are, this is most likely a young adult's dream. Pretty weird huh? (Silas asks, finding all of this intriguing for some reason)
Emily doesn't respond to the question, she simply raises her hand, red energy slowly swirling around her body.
Emily Gravestone: Annabelle! Consume everything, leave nothing standing! (Emily commanded, her eyes now burning red with corruption energy)
Silas Gravestone: Wait, what are you doing? (Silas asks in surprise)
An endless swarm of rats suddenly pours out from her shadow, rushing and leaping off the watchtower, quickly spreading across the entire city.
These rats devour every single thing that crosses their path, wreaking absolute havoc in this domain. The cartoon bears run and scream in terror, their fluff filled bodies eventually ripped to shreds by the vicious rats, leaving nothing left but death and destruction.
The rats don't just stop with the inhabitants, they start consuming buildings as well, demolishing this entire city in only a few minutes.
Emily Gravestone: (Relieved Sigh) Much better. (Emily smiles, taking a moment to enjoy all this destruction)... That was fun, let's do this again sometime. (Emily told her brother happily, walking towards the still open rift)
Silas Gravestone: Hey, what gives?! I was planning on corrupting this domain, you didn't have to destroy it. (Silas said in anger)
Emily Gravestone: Come on, big bro. You know how I get around silly nonsense. Besides, corrupting these guys would be a waste of time and effort, I'm sure you'll find better subjects eventually. (Emily tells him calmly, before vanishing into the rift and leaving this domain)
Silas Gravestone: (Sighs) I was more interested in the city than the inhabitants, but whatever, it's gone now anyways. I swear she can be so callous sometimes. (Silas laments before walking into the rift, which closes shortly afterwards)
The rats are now gone, but what's left of the domain begins to fall apart, too damaged to maintain its stability. Soon the entire domain falls apart completely, seemlessly replaced by a new domain, a rocky and desolate looking dreamscape.
