Deep within the Fortress Bastion was a sector where all Important members of the Inquisition and Azathoth found themselves living. The inhabitants of such a sector only numbered about Five members. All of them had importance to the Inquisition and the World Serpent herself. Anyway, within such a sector was the secret sister of the World Serpent and Ego. She was known as Nyx, the Holder of Nightmare. 

It has been over a month since she got transferred to reality itself with the help of her older sister. She was grateful for them, and she wanted to rise fairly in the ranks of the Inquisition without the help of her Sisters. She wanted to achieve greatness without cheating through it. 

During the month, Nyx has been training her nightmare ability. It took time for her to get used to the gift given by the Old man. Speaking about the Old man, it seems that he had disappeared according to her Elder Sister Persia. When Persia had gained control of the Soul Core, He simply disappeared like a puff of smoke. 

Though, his disappearance wasn't the main problem for the sisters. It was the hidden treasures of the Soul Core disappearing with the Old man. During the discovery of its disappearance, Persia got pissed and almost split the Soul Core to find where it was hiding. Ego managed to calm her down and reported that the treasures were out of the Soul Core.

Nyx could remember the angry face of her Older Sister. Even though she had the memories of Persia, they were slowly turning blurry as she was slowly separating from Persia herself. It meant that she wasn't a mirror of Persia, but a new little sister of Persia derived from Persia herself. 

Nyx even heard that Elder Sister Ego's birth was the same. She was a clone of Elder Sister Persia's mind who split and became herself. It seems that all sisters of Persia found themselves derive from her, which was strange but not unacceptable. 

Anyway, it was currently a day after the mass mobilization of the Military. Nyx continued training herself along with the Elf Hybrid Lilith and the Elf Lifa. Ever since the transportation out of their original world, Lifa and Lilith had been staying deep within the Fortress Bastion. 

It took time for them to adapt, as everyone within the Inquisition was monstrous in terms of strength. Lifa fainted upon seeing the Inquisitors gather together though she woke up an hour later without any change of her mannerism. Lifa was training herself with the methods in the Inquisition, and her strength was increasing leaps and bounds. 

Lilith, on the other hand, was educating herself about Piksyon and her Old World. From science, mathematics, civics, and many more, It was rather easy for her to educate herself despite being young. It won't take time before she graduates and begin her training. 

Now, how about we continue about the Holder of Nightmare, Nyx. She was currently standing within a gigantic gym created by Persia. On the opposite side was a monster, which Persia had infected with the chaos plague. It got used for training, and its origins weren't something disclosed by Persia. 

'How do I defeat this monster?' Nyx thought to herself. She had lost most of her strength, and she got stuck in a weak body. The only thing she needed to do was adapt and overcome the problems along the way of her journey to the peak. Anyway, Nyx started thinking about Nightmare and its capabilities. 

The Nightmare was a strong ability to have. According to her Elder Sister Persia, the Nightmare was comparable to an Origin Skill within the Realm of Piksyon. Origin Skills were something only one ruler could have. Having an Origin Skill would be the best advantage for Nyx herself. 

'Nightmare, a Mental Power Ability that threatens any consciousness in contact with it. It can control dreams, control minds, make something intelligent, make something dumb, and it can turn Nightmares into reality.' That was the description that kept echoing within Nyx's mind. The last feature was the loudest echo of the description. Turning Nightmares into reality, a scary power to hold. 

'Nightmare is caused by fear and anxiety. Negative Feelings of a sentient creature projected into their dream. Fear, fear is my best weapon. Utilizing it will lead me to know more about Nightmare and grow into the zenith.' Nyx had a short realization.

It made her release a smile as she looked at the monster and uttered with a nonchalant voice. 

"Bring it..."

Her words echoed as the monster started charging towards her. Her body was weaker than the monster. It was stronger and faster than her. But unfortunately for the monster, physical strength wasn't the only thing that should be kept in mind. With a simple swing of her pale arm, Nyx's nightmare activated. 

A strange dark purple mist started to envelop Nyx. After enveloping her, Nyx started pointing her fingers towards the monster as if ordering the mist to attack it. The dark purple mist followed her orders and began rushing towards the monster. The monster tried to escape, unfortunately, the mist already enveloped its body and conquered it.

The monster started panicking as it didn't know what it needed to do. It started erratically moving its ten limbs though it still couldn't escape from the mist grasped. The mist then started entering through the nose, mouth, eyes, and ears of the monster. It was time for its nightmare to start. 

Its mind got ravaged as Nyx gazed upon it with her cold eyes. After a while, the monster found itself under Nyx's influence. She released a small smirk and started to continue using her ability. The Nightmare was guiding her to understand it. It wouldn't take time before she would have the basics of Nightmare completed. 

'I have found what you fear. Now, It's time for your nightmare to start.' Nyx thought to herself as she started to activate an ability within Nightmare. It took time, but the gym started turning into a strange place. Nyx raised an eyebrow as she continued gazing upon the Nightmare she had created. 

"I never thought that its nightmare would be complicated," Nyx uttered to herself as she started to look around. Nothing could hurt her within the nightmare. She could simply finish it with a flick of her finger though she wanted to know more about the nightmare of the monster.

"Curiosity is dangerous, Curiosity might kill you, Curiosity might destroy your mind, but in the end, Curiosity leads to the truth. Whether it is the truth you wanted or not, It will lead you to the truth."

Persia's words started echoing within Nyx's mind. During the month, Persia wasn't completely focusing on building the Fortress Bastion. She would sometimes take care of Nyx and Lilith. She was rather motherly towards the two kids. She looked at them as the youngest of her people. 

The strange nightmare started condensing into a forest. It simply looked like everything around her slowly changed into trees, leaves, bushes, and many more. There wasn't daylight as it was nighttime. There were no stars in the night sky, no moon to illuminate the world covered by darkness. It was rather a depressing time. 

"A Forest?" Nyx questioned as she started walking within the dark forest. She had a calm and emotionless expression plastered on her face. It was as if she had no care about the dangers hidden within the dark forest. Nyx continued walking within it as she finally had arrived at her destination. Though, it was a grotesque one. 

Blood found itself splattered everywhere. There were pools of blood along with hundreds of corpses defiled beyond recognition. It resembled a hellish place though it was something to expect within a nightmare. Anyway, at the center of such a bloody place was the monster before it became one. 

It looked like an Iron Hyena, A Young One. Nyx looked at it from afar as it erratically inspected everything with its eyes. It was fearful as it had seen everything and everyone defiled by something it couldn't see. The Small Iron Hyena continued looking around before it froze. 

Nyx raised an eyebrow as the Small Iron Hyena turned its head upwards. The Small Iron Hyena couldn't see anything at first, though as time passed by. A figure of a Gargantuan Serpent slowly formed above it. Its jaw was wide open as it slowly closed it. 

The Young Iron Hyena got eaten by a Demonic Serpent. 

The Demonic Serpent had a Silver White Scale and Golden Amber Eyes. After eating the Young Iron Hyena, It turned its direction towards Nyx. It looked at her as if it saw her. Nyx already knew that she was far from being affected by the nightmare, but fear slowly took its grip on her heart as she continued gazing upon the Golden Amber Eyes of the Serpent. 

The Demonic Serpent released a slight smirk as the nightmare Nyx had conjured slowly broke apart. 

Nyx found herself breathing heavily as she felt her cold sweat dripping from her forehead. The chills on her spine kept echoing as she tried to calm herself down. The first time she entered a Nightmare, Its results weren't as good as she had expected.
