Dreams & Demons

Just like that, I was stuck with her for the next 1,000 years. Its quite amazing how fast something gigantic can occur. In my opinion, sometimes time, was the biggest magic. I would always do my best to keep her happy. Whenever I could, I would try to impress her, or amaze her, or just keep her entertained.

And, to be honest I was just happy that I could spend more time with her.

Also, and if I hear you tell anyone about this fact, i swear to GOD, I will make sure you are ripped apart, through time and space, scattered like dust, so its as if you never existed! Well...

I found that deep down, she was just like me. Chaotic, playful, funny…

1,000 years seemed to pass by in a flash for the both of us. For me, it passed by even faster. I’m Bill Cipher, I was older than time itself. At that point, 1,000 years feels like a second for me. Thats one of the reasons that I had that book of mine. Things would go by so fast, I would not want to miss a thing. And I am glad I recorded it all.

Nightmare Moon and I had many amazing moments together. For our entertainment, we would do many things, like play video games, mostly Xbonc One, or watched movies from the past, present, and future. We even played board games! But, Nighty's favorite thing to do, was go 'memory exploring'. It was a little thing I had made up. Since, I was connected to dreams, I could connect with peoples minds, if they let me in. Well, every chance she could beg out of me, I would let her explore my memories. Perhaps one day, I will show you some of them. Maybe a spinoff story, who knows.

But, out of all that time, I still couldn’t tell her that I loved her. It took me awhile to realize what that FEELING was, since I didn’t have that in my dictionary, but I realized it soon enough. I truly did love her. I would protect her from anything I possibly could.

. . .

After our agreement, I had quickly gotten to work in making this barren ol' wasteland as hospitable as possible. Firstly, a spell that I personally enjoyed, known as 'Expect it, see it, hear it'. This spell makes a field around an area, so that whatever you expect to see, you will see.

Next, I set up a large clock system, sitting very close to the edge of the area, where we first met. The clock, at first, read 1000:00:00:00:00:00, as in 1000 years, 0 months, 0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes, and 0 seconds. Then, next thing on the list, was a home. A good place to sleep.

For this, I decided not to just poof it into existence first, but instead, actually take my time with this idea.

Each moment that passed after I created the clock, I removed a different book. A medium sized one, about the size of a normal sized journal. Each page was blank, and, I would wave a hand, a mechanical pencil, 0.7 mm sized lead. My favorite.

Once I had both of these items, I began drawing, and using energy to form a ruler, as I began to draw layouts, and plans, each one having to have measurements of how long things should be, if it were built in real life. Feet, inches, everything. When done with the layouts and everything, showing a mansion of sorts, with tons of triangles, and lunar symbols.

After that, I began to draw the layouts again, this time including all of the furniture that is needed for everything.

I even drew 3-D designs of everything needed, inside, and out.

Finally, I used paint and other objects, to color everything that needed to be colored.

"Why are you doing that? In fact, WHAT, are you doing?" NMM said from a small shack like house nearby. This had come from a suitcase I had made appear. This suitcase, when placed down, formed a very modest, and small shack. It wasn't much, but it was what they had, currently.

"Heh, its not as if your drawing is going to create anything..." NMM then joked, giggling to herself at her dumb joke. I just looked up at her, a smirk on my face, and a glint in my eye. Her eyes widened, as her jaw dropped. "Your joking, right? RIGHT? Even my sister, cannot use that kind of magic! Trust me, she has tried!" she yelled, obviously not believing what I am hinting at. I merely chuckled at that.

"Watch, and LEARN, moon butt~" I boasted, looking back down at my drawings. I then, gripped them, and ripped them away from the journal, so the pages now lay in my hand. The next spell I used made the pages harden, as if they were solid steel.

I threw the first page, the basic foundation of the area. The moment it landed a while away from the time clock, as my horn flashed, symbols and charms forming in the air above the page, as a magical outline formed in the area. The rough moon rock began to flatten in some places, forming perfect roads. The rest of the rock began to grow a gentle field of grass, with some spots having large pieces of rock, like tree's.

I continued throwing the pages one on the other, as the magic kept growing, bigger and bigger, the outline forming with each drawing, becoming stronger and stronger. Soon, the entire building was like a ghost, there, but not there. You could even see through it!

"... and, the finishing touches... The magic, of the building!" I exclaimed, opening my mouth, and blowing air. It was pure blue flame, as it swirled around the building, and exploded into it. The form fully solidified, and the wooden mansion was formed. Nightmare gasped, staring at the building, eyes gigantic like dinner plates. She looked to me, eyes full of want.

To be honest, i wish she looked at me like that, SOOOOOOOOO much more!

"Yes, you can go explore it... It IS, your new home, after all." I teased, and like a bullet, she sped off, to explore the mansion. It was gigantic, and had many sorts of rooms. A kitchen, larger than life, with fridges that when opened, would give you whatever you needed from it. It was the kind that pinkie would get, and become so happy she exploded.

There were plenty of bathrooms, a bowling alley, a gaming room with every single system ever made, rooms containing alchemy area's, rooms with potion stations, and my pride and joy. This pride and joy, was a gigantic glass domed creation towards the center of the building, showing green, and other colorful things.

Each day was a good one, as we used the house to its fullest extent. One day, I decided to show her something. Show her, a more private room.

. . .

Each day that passed, tended to have the same feeling to it, with Nighty asking about a specific door that led to a specific room at the center of the house. This door was ornate, and completely different from its surroundings. It had no handles, and no locks that anyone could see. But, nighty knew it led to something important, based on the fact that I locked her out of the memories that involved it. Well, each day, Nighty asked me about it, and asked why she couldn't go in. I never answered, until it had finally gotten on my nerves. I decided, to finally oblige her, answering her question about it during a game of chess.

"That door... does it involve your family?" she speculated, having thought about it for a while now. I looked at her, and smiled a bit. Her face said that she knew I wasn't going to answer. She was predicting what I might do.

Nobody predicts, what the randomness king, the King of dreams, will do!

"Yes..." I finally revealed. Her eyes seemed to bulge a bit once again, surprised that I had answered her. I decided to go on. "My old house, was owned by my parents before they died. My mother had created a room, just for herself, and I, my father not able to enter the room. She imparted a power in to me, her power. This power only had one purpose : To keep the door locked, unless my life force wills it to open. If I do not wish for it to open, then the room could never be opened, no matter what you do. That door, leads to that room. The dome outside is a mere outline, to make it so I can travel to it if I pass through the door in THIS house." I explained, smiling gently. Her eyes were still wide, not believing that I had revealed so much information. I merely smiled, and moved a piece on the board.

"Your move, girl~"

. . .

It was a few weeks later, during the night. Well, I think. I honestly don't know, its a bit difficult to tell time in space, especially on a rock that doesn't have a day and night cycle. All I know, is that the clock currently said 0576:10:27:07:43:39, as in 576 years, 10 months, 27 days, 7 hours, 43 minutes, and 39 seconds until the binds wore thin, and Nighty was released from her prison. Well, based on that clock, I believe it was afternoon, as it was 7 hours until midnight. To be honest, I never have been good at math, so I may be wrong. It didn't REALLY matter, because on the moon, it always looks like both night and day, with the dark sky, but the seemingly glowing surface, but, eh.

Nighty hadn't been asking about the door anymore, seeming to know I didn't wish to talk about it, but, over these years, I decided that I should give her a bit of a treat. I went into the room where she was, a gaming room, and I smiled gently. She looked up, confused, and then I gestured for her to come over.

Rising, she stared at me, and I received a wonderful view of her. She had received a closet full of new and interesting clothes when I created the home, and she was wearing part of her stuff right now. She was in a baggy T-shirt, a fiery red, with words on it, that read 'The moon isn't chill, it can BURN!'. She also wore a pair of baggy sweats, that were good around her waist, but looked very comfortable to be in, almost like pajamas. Her hair was in a ponytail, as she put her hands on her hips, sauntering over, looking at me.

"What is it? I was trying to beat your high score!" she snorted, doing a pose that tried to show she wasn't afraid of me, but it came out more as 'I am adorable'. I merely chuckled, and began to speak.

"I was thinking... You haven't asked about the room in a while..." I noted, watching her reaction. She merely went from proud, to sheepish, in an instant.

"I saw that the topic... really hurt to talk about. I didn't want to hurt you, you dolt!" she playfully punched me in the shoulder, as if trying to force that piece of information into me. I laughed a bit, and acted as if hurt, while staring at her. It was true that it hurt, but, I had to explain it to someone... eventually.

"Well, I have decided, I need to show someone at some point. The beauty of it all, needs to be shared. My mother wouldn't have wanted me to be selfish with her gift." I lamented, as I turned, and walked out of the room, and walking through the halls, knowing that she was following me. I kept walking and walking, until, I was at the large door, at which point, I turned around, and saw NMM walk up. Gone was the proud and dominant woman, and in her place, was a sheepish, shy female.

"... your really going to do this? Let me into a place highly sacred to you?" she asked, and I merely nodded.

"Lets... do this..." I replied, turning to the door, and pressing my hand to it. The entire door glowed, as the building hummed. Lines appeared, around its edges, and down its center, deepening, becoming actual space. In seconds, the door was revealed, and in a flourishing movement, I opened the door.
