Children, gather 'round,
for I have a tale to tell.
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there were fairies scuttling about, minding their own buisness. Now these fairies were not ordinary fairies; each and every one of them either had a job to do, or was apprenticed to a 'master' in the job that was looking for a successor.
There happened to be a certain apprentice we will be focusing on; she was apprenticed to the Dream Fairy; now, what is a Dream Fairy, you ask? Well, I'll tell you, my children. She was a very old fairy that was kindhearted and utterly generous, she would fly into good little children's houses and watch their dreams, then she would change them for the better.
The apprentice, though, was a naughty fairy. She loved to pull pranks and lie, to break things as well. Though she wouldn't do anything TOO major. Now the apprentice is whom in this story we shall call by her name, 'Albtraum'. No one knew what her name meant, so they thought it was a made-up name; a random jumble of letters.
Albtraum had been forcefully apprenticed by her mother before she died; she had absolutely no interest in the idea of 'making children's dreams better'. But every fairy must have an occupation, she said to herself, then she continued enduring the boring lecture the Dream Fairy was giving her about NEVER misusing her powers.
When Albtraum had JUST finished her apprenticeship and was walking from the ceremony, something inside of her snapped. No one knows what the cause of it was; no one had ever heard or seen something so gruesome happen at the hands of a fairy.
The Dream Fairy, tired and old, was brutally murdered that night; a sweet little fairy that happened to be the Tooth Fairy had heard strange noises and went out to investigate. She nearly fainted when she saw the bloodied scene before her; the Dream Fairy's kind eyes had been gouged out, parts of her body were missing, and her stomach had been torn open. Written on the wall in her blood, there was a message from Albtraum;
I am the successor
I am the Master
I am the fear that will haunt you all ...
I AM THE NIGHTMARE FAIRY.
Ever since, fairy and human children alike had been terrorized with horrible dreams one would have to witness to believe. And worst of all, she definetely made sure you would never wake up until the dream was finished; she bothered to make this period so long with some, that they died of fright in their slumber.
My children, go to sleep now, the tale is finished,
and I will make sure to wish you a good night's sleep ... heh heh heh ...
