Nightmares(open)

[Deleted]

Val put one hand in front of the other as he walked on them, snoring as he walked on his hands. If you saw the rough callouses on his hands, you would know this wasn't the first time this had happened. Sad part, there was no explanation behind this other then his body did it.

Val's walking around the camp was a usual thing at night that even the harpies didn't bother him. Sort of Tieing him to the bed, there wasn't any hope to keep him still when he slept. Val's hands slowly brought him into the art's and craft's building, till he lowered himself onto his feet, slowly walking to the sand blasters.


Inside the dream val was having, he walked over the fields between dreams, looking at the the dream world. In retrospect, all dreams were connected here. Picture it like this. A long endless field where the glass swayed but there was no wind, and every dream that people are having are a large white dome. Val could enter or leave these dreams as he pleased, or even take people out of them. It was hard to do, but the watching was rather easy to do.

Val looked into one dome, looking into it and seeing a rather dull dream. Something about flight. Seriously, there was a lot of dreams of flight. Val moved over to the a different dome, not knowing his body was coming with his dream self as he looked at it, seeing a night mare. He smirked, and dove in.


Val's body picked up a paint brush, going over to the wall and started to paint it. With wide large strokes, he started to paint what he saw in that night mare.

[Daphne Scotts]

Daphne was exhausted. She was having nightmares left and right and had tried to keep herself wake as long as she could. However, it was a long day running around doing cabin leader duties and working out. As soon as her head touched the pillow, she was out. And that's when her brain started its usual repertoire of nightmares...

It was an unusually warm late fall day, so Daphne decided to work out with an Ares kid. They always gave her the best work outs. She was sweaty and tired as she walked into her cabin. Her bed was still in her corner of the cabin before her brothers made her move to the leader room. However, she stopped when she felt an odd presence in the room. She looked around and saw nothing, so she went to her dresser to grab clean clothes.

"Heheheheh." An evil laughter echoed throughout her room. "Little sky princess, so angry about life. What about life that makes you so angry?"

[Deleted]

Dream side, Val's feet touched down and, surprised, looked around the Zues cabin. That was different. It was rare that a demi god would have a night mare about their own cabin. Val frowned a little, thinking this might not be a nightmare after all. Course, that was when the voice rang out.

"Heheheheh." An evil laughter echoed throughout the room. "Little sky princess, so angry about life. What about life that makes you so angry?"


Reality side, val's body slowly started to pain the inside of the cabin, not even making an mistake with his eyes mostly closed. His breath came out deep and slow, and even though his movements were a little..... weird, the painting was very clear. Course, When he got to the girl, val's body slumped and his shook his shoe off, and he started to paint with his toes holding the pain brush. It was weird, but the picture showed her terror. Though, in the picture, off in the corner, there sat a boy that seemed to be observing everything calmly. Val started to paint in dark shadows, voices and words tormenting the girl in the middle.


Dreamside, Val waved his hand and a chair appeared there. He smiled, turning it around and sitting in it, tilting his head a little. He figured she was a deep sleeper that wouldn't notice him till he made his presence known to her. He almost switched the dream to something else, but he was curious. This couldn't be everything this nightmare had to hold. What else was there in here? Val waved a hand in front of him, and a small keyboard appeared. It was his favorite way of his visualization powers. He slightly upper the terror in the room, wondering what this child of Zeus was so scared of.

[Daphne Scotts]

Daphne froze once she heard the voice. Someone was in her cabin and it wasn't the boy in the corner of her cabin watching her. She picked up her sword she discarded on her bed and walked into the center of the room. "Hello?" she called out as her voice got drowned out by the thunder in the cabin. Her eyes darted around the room as she stepped towards her brothers' bed. "This isn't funny, guys!" She called out her brothers names to see if they answered, but the didn't.

"Oh, they aren't here." Another evil laugh rang throughout the room again. "But, what are you so angry about, sky princess?" A tall, dark man appeared out of the shadows behind her. Evil was written across his face before he spoke again. "So afraid.....Don't be afraid, I don't want to hurt anyone I don't need to."

Daphne turned and screamed when she saw the man. She stumbled a few feet back as she held up her sword in front of her. "Who are you?" she demanded trying to look braver than she felt. "Who are you and why are you here?"

[Deleted]

"This is just getting interesting," Val said, smiling and watching. He got up, the chair and the keyboard turning into nothing as he faded into the background, walking to get a better view, like it was TV. He smirked, seeing the shadow man. His actually face was blurred and shadows out, so he couldn't tell who it was, like the memory was there but she couldn't think of a way to express it in her fear. That fear seemed so....ingrained in there. What else can he learn from this girl.

"Who are you," Val asked, his voice ringing out and he snapped his fingers, and the dream froze. All but the girl. That was one thing that val couldn't control from everyone's dreams. He couldn't control the dreamer. Val walked up, making himself known and grabbed the girl's shoulder from behind, saying," This is a dream, calm down." He let go, walking forward and looking at the person's face, and a dial appeared in front of the face. He Turned it, and the face slowly came into focus. Val let go of the dial as the face came into focus. Val looked at it, wondering who it was. He didn't recognizing the face.


Reality side, val was painting the guy into the wall behind the girl, his face striking out is shadow and faded. It was recognizable to anyone who knew the face. His body was painting it quiet well.


Dreamside, val smirked, looking at the girl and offered his hand, saying," Names David Valentine. Cal me Val though. I'm a son of Morpheus, so that's how I am here. I'm guessing daughter of zues, right?" He said, walking around and sitting on a bed there. He frowned, and snapped his fingers and the bed changed into a lazy boy chair. He sighed, relaxing into it and asked," Who is he that you are so scared of?" It was almost like a therapy session, but way weirder. Val snapped his fingers again, and a chair appeared behind Daphne and a cup of hot chocolate was floating in front of both of them, each. Val grabbed his, and sipped, saying," I hope it tastes like chocolate. I've never been able to get it right in the dream realm."He smirked, laughing as he took a sip, and made a disgusted face. He never could get it right.

[Daphne Scotts]

Daphne paused for a minute as she heard someone else's voice echo the room. This isn't how it went. her subconscious echoed in her mind before she felt a hand on her shoulder. She screamed before she looked over her shoulder with at the guy with wide eyes. "Who are you?" she asked as she watched him walk over to Xenos and do something weird with him. She blinked a couple of times as her mind tried to comprehend what was going on. "Why are you in my dream?" she asked a little softer before he turned around.

Finally, she got some answers to her questions. Morpheaus. Daphne should have known better. After all, she was the daughter of a classics professor. "Yeah, I am," she answered when he asked if she was a Zeus kid. "I'm Daphne." She blinked a couple more times as she watched him manipulate her dream. The bed just turned into a chair? "Umm..." she said as she sat down and took the cup of hot chocolate. She didn't sip on it. Letting the cup warm her hands, she glanced up at the frozen Xenos before she finally answered David's question. "His name is Xenos," she muttered as she looked down at the mug. "He kidnapped me a couple of years ago... and then had me possessed by a shadow demon."

[Deleted]

"Xenos? Sounds like you knew him well." Val sipped his coco, and then grimaced, and threw it aside. It vanished after a foot and a coke appeared in his hands. He popped the top, taking a sip and smirked. These he could make well, seeing as caffeine was probably the enemy of sleep. Weird but cool.

"Kidnapped and then possessed. Yeah, that's a worth nightmare." Val got up, the chair vanishing as he walked over to the man, and then waved his hands, the shadow demon appearing that possessed her. Any fear he could make, and dreams were made of them. Fears, hopes, your dreams of the future and goals. It was all that made this world possible, and he could pull it right from the mind.

Val knelt, looking at the shadow demon and sighed, saying," Nasty little buggers. We get them in the dream realm every now and them. Stronger then then in the real world, as in that realm they don't exactly need a host. I'm sorry you had to go through that....... wait." Van grabbed the shadow demon, and stretched it to enlarge it. He looked under the arm, and frowned, sighing. "Damn it. Oh well, it's not him." He snapped his fingers, and it popped into birds that flew away.

"It's a good nightmare. Not the worst I've seen from a memory, but pretty high up there." He smirked, smiling.


Reality side, his body was painting the shadow demon there, making it large that it even overshadowed the other guy. It wasn't that good, but it was enough to get the point across if anyone reconized it.



Dream side, Val sat down in a chair that appeared again, asking," what happened after the possession? Was Xenos a camper here?"

[Daphne Scotts]

Daphne gulped a bit as she kept looking at Dream Xenos as her thumbs ran over the rim of her mug. "Yeah..." she said hesitantly as her voice cracked a bit. She took a deep breath before she continued, "You kind of get to know your kidnapper well..." She looked down at her mug unable to look at Shadow Xenos for much longer. "Especially since he tried to convince me to join his side before he got his shadow to possess me... And that's another nightmare..."

She flinched and shut her eyes when she saw the shadow demon appeared out of thin air. She never really saw it in its full form, but she could remember how she felt trapped mind in her mind as her body was controlled by something else. She shuddered a bit. She opened her eyes a bit as she saw it disappear into birds.

"I don't know if I should take that as a compliment or not," she admitted as she looked up at him and avoided looking at Shadow Xenos. Then he asked what happened what happened after she was possessed. "He is a camper," she admitted as she glanced down back at her mug. "The demon ran around doing his evil deeds... trying to convert campers to his cause and just causing trouble." She pressed her lips together as she took a deep breath. "I was able to regain control once or twice... but that thing didn't leave me until Xenos died..."

[Deleted]

"Oh, that's juicy. Sorry if I seem like a dick, but this is really the only enjoyment I get, as when awake I'm clinically insane." He shrugged at that. If you saw him when he was awake you would know. Val smiled, wondering what was going on with that nightmare. He almost wanted to shift it, but he wasn't a jerk.

"And don't. Memory nightmares mean that you still have to be able to work through something that still troubles you. Once you get past the troubles, then the nightmare seems less powerful. Basicly, the more you fear it the more the nightmare had power over you. The less you do, the more silly it will become in your eyes. Somewhere, you still see this dead boy as stronger then you." Val didn't think he was making much sense, but decided that a visual demonstration would be better. Though, hearing he was a camper made sense.

"Wait....Xenos...Xenos.....I think I remember him. If he was who I think he was, then he was a total prick and his dreams were a poison in my father's realm." He looked at her, and then snapped his fingers, a jacket appearing around her shoulders. "Chin up. This is all a dream remember. Watch." Val snapped his fingers, and the Xenos shifted into a puppy, barking happily and sniffing around. val smirked, saying," Let me get a little matrix on you here, neo." He loved that movie.

Val got up and in front of him appeared a doorway. Val smiled, and opened it, showing the Dream fields and the Bubbles in there. "I'm about done here, but if you want, I can show you what it's like outside your dream. If not, Then I'll make sure that your dream is a peaceful one for the rest of the night at least. But you want to see something fun?" He smiled, and stepped through the door onto the swaying grass, offering a hand to her. He was curious, on would she be the first to take his hand?

[Daphne Scotts]

"That's the problem," Daphne said as she glanced up from her mug and up at David. "He's not dead... not anymore." She took a deep breath as she closed her eyes. "He came back from the dead because his mom resurrected him from the dead or something. I guess that's what bothering me..." She shook her head. "And the things he knew about me. You paused it before it got that far... but he knew so much about me that it was ridiculous... like he knew me better than myself."

Daphne chuckled a bit. "Doesn't surprise me... just knowing how he..." She shook her head and shuddered a bit. "I wouldn't doubt that his dreams were poisoned. He was just... that kind of person." But her eyes widened and she stood up as Xenos turned into a puppy. "How did you do that?" And then a door appeared in front of them. "How did you do that?" But her breath caught in her chest when she saw the view outside the door.

She really didn't think twice as she took a step closer towards the door. "I haven't had this kind of dream for almost two years..." she muttered before she reached out to grab his hand. "I need to get out of here, please?"

[Deleted]

"Nice," he said, taking her hand and yanked her off her feet and out of her own dream. It was a jolt, but it was fun for him. She was the first person that took his hand, and now he wanted to show off a little. Course, he was born in this realm. It was his home.

"You have to realize, that here, there are no laws oh physics," he said and his body shifted. He slowly became a copy of daphne, looking at her. He smiled with her lips, but said in his own voice," You have to have the will to make it so. This realm is made by the mind and dreams of every individual on the earth. Anything that has dreams, it happens here and powers this realm. It's what makes Morpheus powerful, even among the gods. Every dream that you have he knows, and every time a god appears in your dreams it's through him." He smiled, and slowly shifted into his own body again. Well, what she saw as his body.


"Let me show you," He said, and snapped his fingers. A hover platform appeared below them and they rose up. "You need to focus your will into making something happen. I find that snapping helps me focus my imagination into the realm." He smiled as they rose, looking over the never ending fields of dreams.

"This is my fathers home and my birthplace. Look. Every one of those white domes is a person's dream. Right now this section you see is camp half blood." There was one per every camper. Course, Daphne's had gone black like a few others right now. "The black domes means that person is awake or traveling around right now, like you are. Now, let me show you something really impressive." Val snapped his fingers, and they rose even higher and higher till the domes looked like pepples.

"See that light? That's all the dreams of all the new yorkers right now asleep. Cities always make so much light in this world since there are a lot of people there and they power it. My range isn't that good though, so lets go back to the camp area." He smiled, and in a second they were about 5 feet from the swaying grass.

Val hopped off, touching the ground and walking. "Let me show you something," He said, and walked over to where these two dooms were so close that they were nearly touching. "These two are so entertaining to watch. Their twins you see, yet they are so different. See, this one is literally dreaming of being the world's best fighter, going toe to toe with this bruce lee guy, while the other on....well, no details are needed. He's an aphrodite and these dreams are kind of common here. Teenagers and all." He laughed, looking at the two and then walking over to a different row and looking in a few different domes. "Got another wet dream here. And here's a power one, and here's one about candy. and one about..." Val started to go on, listing what was seen on the white domes. It was cool, since each one was like a giant TV.

"Oh, sorry. Was there anyone's dream in perticular that you wanted to see? I can get into anyone's in camp easily, Minus chiron's. He doesn't like it when I go that, and Argus Hates it a lot when I go into his. Like, Really hates it. He's got some pretty nasty ones involving hera." He chuckled, laughing as he spilled that little bit of secrets with Daphne.

[Daphne Scotts]

The experience for Daphne was definitely surreal. She walked out of her own nightmare and here she was in this magical dreamland. Her eyes widened as she glanced around as she followed David onto the platform and they rose up into the sky. She glanced over at him and pressed her lips together as he mentioned about creating anything in here. She looked down at her hand and concentrated before she snapped her fingers. A dove appeared right before them and Daphne squealed a bit. "I did it!" she said as she glanced up at David.

But he started talking about the domes and she listened intently as he pointed out and explained every one of them. but then he asked her something that completely caught her off guard. Was there a dream she wanted to see? She blinked a couple of times. She wished she could get inside Achilles's head, but she didn't know where he ran off to, but she just shook her head. "No," she said softly. "There's nobody I want to visit."

[Deleted]

"really. Damn, oh well. There are so many other things to experience though in this realm." Val just laughed, and touched a dome. It rippled a little and the dream changed. I had been a nightmare, one he was used to seeing. It was this ares's boy's dream, and there was usually a lot of killing. Now, it turned into something more pleasant.

"Nightmares aren't what I like seeing. yeah, I went through a phase when I loved them, but their is no point to them. No one learned much from nightmares that they can''t realize in real life so why suffer like that? Know what I mean?" She probably didn't, but val didn't really care to explain anymore.

"Come on. Look at this," he said, and pointed at another dream. it was a memory one, and it was Michael's. it showed him flying through the sky, just being a peace. Val knew he wouldn't remember that dream when he woke, but it was a nice one. "Dreams like this always make me feel nice to know that people have hope to do better with their lives. Dreams can't lie you know. Now when they don't know who is watching. It's how I can tell if someone is good or not. I've seen some really bad dreams that will show me secrets about a person that they would not like having known. It's rather fun though. To bad my reality side isn't right to be able to take that knowledge over. It's a shame, but for the better." he smirked, laughing and moving on like a farmer before his cattle, inspecting them all.

[Daphne Scotts]

Daphne crossed her arms across her chest as she looked at the different domes scattered across as far as she could see. She really didn't know what to think about this dream world, since she just found out it was much larger than she originally thought. Her mind couldn't help but wonder for a minute what Achilles was going through. Was he taking this break up just as bad as she was? She shook her head and got her mind out of her thoughts as David showed her a nightmare.

She pressed her lips together. She thought that her dreams were bad, but hers were just memories. At least she didn't have to deal with violence and stuff in her dreams. Hers were just more mind freak outs than actual violence. "So you're kind of the patrol of dreams?" she asked him as she continued to follow him around dreamland. She chuckled a bit after he left a dream of a guy flying and went to check on the other domes. "Or, I should say, the farmer of dreams."

[Deleted]

"Somewhat like that. It's the fact that those of us that are born here are responsible for this realm. It's...... a different reality then yours. It's different, but funny. You would be surprised who is of my father's blood, but only one name stands out." He chuckled, saying," he's kind of a sissy though." At that, a voice rang out from behind them," Just who are you calling a sissy little brother?"

Val smirked, turning around and seeing a rather tall guy wearing a toga standing there. His hair was down to his shoulders and his beard was combed into a fashionable way. He walked over and wrapped an arm around both of them. "And you know your not allowed to take people out of their dreams you know? Remember how bad father punished me?" Val rolled his eyes, and pushed him off, saying," I swear to morpheus, you never change Jesus."

Val laughed, saying," Long story short, but Morpheus gets his..... Loves pregnent in their dreams sometimes, so that's he was born." The Famous demigod rolled his eyes, saying," And then the bastard Lied to me to spread a story around to make me a fool of all the other gods. yade yada. None of you let it go." Val laughed. "And besides, you can't let her roam here for long, or she will never wake up. You got an hour before her expected wake time, so finish your tour quickly will you?" Val rolled his eyes, saying," I know the time limit, okay? So keep your big mouth shut will you?" The other man just smiled, and said," Fine. I won't tell, but remember that I'm only one of the other's here little brother." The Minor god vanished, leaving behind some sparkeling crossed.

"He is such a drama queen. But anyways, that pretty much there is to it. That a- Get down," He said, grabbing Daphne and pushing her behind a dome. He looked out to see a lone figure walking down the path between the domes to look into one. "Don't look now, but your step brother is here. What the hell is he doing here? Why is Apollo checking in on his children's dreams now of all times? If he see's you, we are so busted," He said, hiding. "The gods come here to see their children's dreams and sometimes talk to them through them. But only a small part of them comes as to not burn this realm. Damn it," he said, shaking his head.
