Bit of a goofy wholesome one today, just a light 'demonic' sleep aid! :) I hope you enjoy regardless, sometimes it's good to take a little break from spicy stuff but don't worry I've got loads more to come.
Oh, wait, that's right. You can't speak demonic. Let's try that again.
Don't be alarmed, little human. I don't wish to cause you harm tonight. I just noticed you had a little nightmare incident.
I can see into anyone's dream I want, you know. It just so happened I found you. Please, don't hide, dear.
I'm not going to do anything to harm you. I promise. Do you feel the weight lifted off your chest? Try and move your arms a bit.
The paralysis is over. It was all just a creation of your mind. None of that can harm you.
No, my dear. I remain, because unlike your imagination, I am very much real. You can sense it, can't you? I'm only here to help you, contrary to popular belief.
We're not the ones who actually cause your nightmares. I'm simply an observer for most of my existence. I must admit, it's rare that I intervene like this.
But there's something different about you this time. Even in all of my ethereal existence, I can't quite put my claw on what it is about you. Point being, I simply had to stop your nightmare.
As for the exact reason, I'm unsure. Of course I've always had the ability to, dear. But that's not the way this works.
A nightmare is just as important as a regular dream. To deprive one of either for too long would strip all meaning out of such words. How is one to judge their own experience without having points of reference? Anyway, that's not what I interrupted to tell you.
You're already more than aware of that. I simply found you fascinating. I hope you don't mind, but I've been observing you for quite some time now.
I figured I should let you know eventually. But I still wanted a little more time to confirm that it was you I was looking for. So far, I believe my prediction to be correct.
You're not afraid, are you, dear? Good. I'm glad to hear you keep an open mind despite my initial appearance.
I'd like to offer you something. A bit of an adventure, if you will. I believe you have what it takes.
That's why I was so keen to observe you. Quite rare is it that I find someone with your qualities. A human with high tolerance for the paranormal, many claim to be in touch with this realm.
Very few actually are. Some view it as a curse, others as a divine gift. It all depends on perspective.
Soon we'll get to see which category you fall into, but I already have my guesses. But now, the choice falls on you. Do you wish to join me for a while, or go back to sleep like nothing ever happened? I know you'll choose correctly.
Very well then, dear. You shall come with me. I promise you won't regret this decision, dear.
This is merely the beginning of a great awakening. For you, a divine gift of knowledge. Well, what is it that you wait for? Out of bed with you, we have things to see.
Don't worry, I shall return you whenever you'd like. If you should choose, that is. Wonderful, my darling.
Grasp my hand and hold tight. Let me take you to your awakening. There is nothing to fear.
Welcome, dear. Nice to see you made it here in one piece. Not like I expected anything else.
I've taken you back to my realm, dear. It's not so scary, is it? I knew you'd be able to keep a cool head.
Well done. I assure you, this is no dream. You would have woken up long ago if that was the case.
Take a look around you. Isn't it wonderful? I knew you probably wouldn't expect my kind to come from such a place given my demonic appearance.
Most humans assume we must be some sort of malevolent entity. But as you've come to find, that's not quite the case. I know you've been having a difficult time recently.
That's part of the reason I brought you here. You deserve to feel at ease for a bit. Don't worry about your earthly troubles for now, darling.
You can stay here for as long as you'd like. It's been exhausting for you recently, hasn't it? A cutie like you doesn't deserve to be beaten down like that.
It's not fair, and I'm not just gonna sit by anymore. I know how hard you've been working. Always putting in such a great effort.
I know much more than you might think, my dear. I've come to appreciate all of your wonderful qualities over the past little while. I must say, I don't think I've been interested in someone like this for quite a few centuries.
How I know you'll accomplish more than most could ever dream of. It is my job to protect you from the other ethereal creatures of the night, you know. I'm still primarily an observer, but that isn't always the case as I've shown you here.
Take my hand once more, dear. How about you go on a little walk with me? We have much to see, my dear.
Excellent. Do you feel how the ground underneath your feet appears lighter? It's nice, isn't it? You have into care in the world now, so you might as well drop down those walls just a little bit.
You're safe here. Nothing else could dare hurt you. Follow me down this wooded path.
Take in the splendor of these woods for all you can. Life for you humans goes by much too fast to not enjoy the simpler things. Journey with me.
How often do you get to see elves back in your realm? I'm guessing not so commonly. Walk with me, you fascinating little human.
It's so lovely to finally have the opportunity to talk with you like this. Spying on your dreams is nice and all, but I much prefer to talk while you're aware. Tell me, why do you think it was you that experienced all those nightmarish dreams? There is no right or wrong answer.
I'd just like to hear what you think. Mm-hmm. How interesting.
I think it was a test for you, dear. I'm not privy to the reasons as to why nightmare makers choose you for their visions, but still. I have my suspicions.
Without your special insights into the paranormal world, you wouldn't be able to see any of this. I wouldn't even be able to talk to you in a language that you understand. You'd probably even be quite scared.
But since you possess the rare gift of intuition, none of that affects you. Once I was first informed about a human with that sort of ability, I must admit, I was skeptical of it myself. But after my observation, I knew it to be true, seeing the way you kept your cool during our first interaction.
I'm quite proud of you myself, dear. This is undoubtedly one of the most important missions of my comparatively short life doing this. That's still over a couple of centuries.
Doesn't it set you at peace here, dear? The trees, although alien to you, are quite beautiful the way they shimmer in the dull moonlight. I think we're almost to where I wanted to take you.
Just down this little trail. It's a spot not many know of, even among my kind. It would be an honor to show it to a human.
You might just be the first of your kind to ever lay eyes upon this spot. I'm sure you'll be impressed with its beauty. Well, what do you think? Pretty, isn't it? Rest with me for a while.
This spot is just about as secluded as they come. Lay down with me and continue your rest. This time, uninterrupted.
We have quite a lot to do, but that can wait. Right now, you deserve to have a nice long rest. You simply cannot be stressed out if you're going to utilize your power to the fullest.
This is a spot for healing. Join me, dear. My touch can help you relax even further.
Isn't that nice? Stay with me like this, dear. You don't have a worry in the world now.
All that matters is the calming touch of my hands running along you slowly. You've been craving some physical affection, haven't you? I can feel it all over your body.
No reason to be ashamed of that, dear. Just lay back down into my arms. I'm right here with you, dear.
Everything is going to be just fine. I promise. I'm going to be right here with you, dear.
I'm going to be right here with you, dear. I'm going to be right here with you, dear. I'm going to be right here with you, dear.
