    Today is a perfect sunny day, just as perfect as any other day. Birds chirped a cheerful melody in harmony as they soar the skies and flapped their wings, perching on tree branches swaying gently through the soothing breeze. The world is painted in vibrant hues, like a canvas capturing every scenery of nature at its finest beauty. Flowers were blooming, inviting little girls to pluck from the ground to take home or put on their hair. The village is buzzling lively as they go about their day. Everyone is smiling and happy, everyone except...

    Walking barefooted along the grassy fields, feeling the soft grass tickling your ankles, you spotted and came across where the Tree of Feelings stood sturdy and proud in its glory, its apples gleaming in the warm golden rays of the sunlight. Under the tree where it casts a shadow and where the negative side resides sat Nightmare, the guardian of negative feelings. He sat there seemingly focused on the book he was reading. His purple and dim eye lights moving along as he reads, something about his eyes felt odd, as if their lights were extinguished of light. He has bandages and a few small cuts on his face. He looks so concentrated on the book he was reading that he did not sense your presence.
