We clearly can’t rely on him fighting it off himself. We saw how much pain it caused him.” The room fills with murmurs of agreement. “We have to get Joel those brewing recipes, or we might lose him forever. Joel, are you still up for the challenge?” She asks, looking directly at me. I nod my head vigorously, and open my mouth to say something when I’m cut off by a scream. The source is Scott, who has a sword through his chest. Someone emerges from the shadows, someone with black hair and red eyes. He has a mustache, also black, a suit, also black, boots, also black. Pale skin, pointed ears, and a blood-red tie. He drops the handle of the sword as soon as he’s fully out of the shadows. “Hello, citizens of District City who have chosen to stand against me and my apprentice. My name is Mumbo J Grumbot, but you can call me The Nightmare.” His canine teeth are sharp like fangs. One of them is dripping blood that I’m sure isn’t his. He calmly makes his way over to Ren, ill intent radiating off him like UV off the sun. “I have to say, my newest toy is fond of you. Far too fond, in my opinion. It would be cute, if it wasn’t preventing me from gaining an asset. I think I’ll have to remove you from the situation.” He says, pulling out a concealed blade and holding it to Ren’s throat. “Remove me if it pleases ya, but know that no matter what ya do, Martyn will never break ta the likes of you, don’t’cha know. He’s much stronger than that.” Nightmare growls in frustration. “I’ll be back, in my real body.” He hisses, and then vanishes. “That was epic! How did you know that wasn’t his real body?! If you didn’t, were you really prepared to die?! The whimsy!” Scar yells from across the room. “Scar! Help Pearl with Scott.” Cleo yells his name, and deadpans instructions that he quickly follows. “Don’t worry about me, it’s already healed up. I’m a Creaking Golem, remember?” Scott chirps cheerfully as he sits down. But something behind his tone makes me feel as if he’s lying. And I’ve had to get very good at being able to tell when people are lying.
