55. All good, sir.Copy !req
56. Hm…Copy !req
57. Mh.Copy !req
58. An inexplicable desire to understandCopy !req
59. - more stirred within the prince.
- What?Copy !req
60. - He decided to listen to his instinct.
- Huh?Copy !req
61. Following his intuition…Copy !req
62. And a mysterious voice calling him.Copy !req
63. He felt uneasy,Copy !req
64. - but he wasn't afraid. An odd emotion.
- Ow!Copy !req
65. Came over him, as he sensed he
was meeting his destiny.Copy !req
66. He climbed and climbed… searching
for a way out of his monstrous world,Copy !req
67. - as the voice calling for him.
- Oh!Copy !req
68. Grew more real with each passing moment.Copy !req
69. He was astonished to discover he
had reached the most peculiar place.Copy !req
70. One he had never been to before.Copy !req
71. Oh, ugh…Copy !req
72. Confusion overwhelmed him, his tummy
was hurting.Copy !req
73. Ah…Copy !req
74. - Huh?
- He found himself in this new place fullCopy !req
75. - of strangers.
- Hm?Copy !req
76. An unseen dream land…Copy !req
77. A- fantastic place!Copy !req
78. She's a little crazy, don't you think,Copy !req
79. - buddy?
- Mh-hm.Copy !req
80. - Just "a little", really?
- She's terrifying, buddy.Copy !req
81. Oh…Copy !req
82. She's only seeking attention.Copy !req
83. I'll be the first to get to
the classroom.Copy !req
84. - I know, right? Poor thing.
- No, you can't beat me!Copy !req
85. - I've always thought her stories were.
- Do you want to come over to myCopy !req
86. - strange,
- house after Sunday school?Copy !req
87. If he keeps running like that, he's gonna
fall.Copy !req
88. I know, buddy, he's very clumsy, and he
always ends up covered in bruisesCopy !req
89. I bet the priest hasn't noticed I hid his
chalk.Copy !req
90. Sure, when my dad comes pick me
up, we'll ask him if I can go.Copy !req

113. Ah! Ah…Copy !req
114. - Huh?
- Ahh!Copy !req
115. Francisca!Copy !req
116. You little menace!Copy !req
117. - Grandma, there's a monster!
- Oh, my goodness!Copy !req
118. Why are you here?Copy !req
119. Father Cosme already told meCopy !req
120. that after recess you didn't come
back to the classroom,Copy !req
121. and that you've been scaring the
rest of the children.Copy !req
122. Grandma!
There's a creature in those plants.Copy !req
123. Hm.Copy !req
124. Ah…Copy !req
125. Ugh! I saw nothing.Copy !req
126. Why are you like this? Wouldn't youCopy !req
127. - like to be like your peers? Maybe then.
- Ah!Copy !req
128. You'd finally have a friend.Copy !req
129. Ahh!Copy !req
130. You're nothing but a witch!Copy !req
131. Huh?Copy !req
132. What did you call me?Copy !req
133. - Ah…
- You little brat.Copy !req
134. - Ow!
- Ah!Copy !req
135. Oh!Copy !req
136. Ah!Copy !req
137. Ah!Copy !req
138. Ow! Ow!Copy !req
139. Oh-oh.
I'm sorry, but guess what happened today.Copy !req
140. I was fast asleep and, uhm…Copy !req
141. Mh… Oh, are you all right, sweetheart?Copy !req
142. Yes, Mom… I'm fine.Copy !req
143. - Veritena.
- Woah!Copy !req
144. - My love.
- Stop it, Mom!Copy !req
145. If you hug him like that,Copy !req
146. he'll think that what he did was right.Copy !req
147. I'm hugging my son… before I ground him
for the rest of his life.Copy !req
148. What?Copy !req
149. - Ficturo!
- Dad!Copy !req
150. Are you alright?Copy !req
151. Huh?Copy !req
152. Oh…Copy !req
153. Oh…Copy !req
154. Oh, that king and his useless royal
family will bring about our downfall.Copy !req
155. Uhm… Eh…Copy !req
156. You have to consider the consequences
of your actions,Copy !req
157. we won't always be here to protect you.Copy !req
158. But I wasn't hurt at all!Copy !req
159. I actually discovered something amazing!Copy !req
160. I found out we can use the Harpspider
to go somewhere else,Copy !req
161. I have to tell you what I just-Copy !req
162. No, Herneval! No!Copy !req
163. You need to understandCopy !req
164. that what you just did was outrageously
dangerous, son.Copy !req
165. My love, you must be more cautious.Copy !req
166. There's a balance between the two realms
and it's our duty to protect it.Copy !req
167. No one has been able to cross in a
very long time, son,Copy !req
168. and it's better that way.Copy !req
169. Promise me no one will know what
you discovered.Copy !req
170. Yes, I'm sorry.Copy !req
171. Besides…Copy !req
172. You damaged our species' most important
instrument…Copy !req
173. The Harpspider.Copy !req
174. - Woah!
- You must protect it, for one day youCopy !req
175. will play itCopy !req
176. and by doing so you will shape the human
subconscious.Copy !req
177. That is our gift…Copy !req
178. - Solely reserved for the members of the.
- Mh…Copy !req
179. Royal family.Copy !req
180. Ficturo,Copy !req
181. the time has come for him to know.Copy !req
182. - Huh?
- What? Have you lost your mind, Veritena?Copy !req
183. Eh…Copy !req
184. - He's still way too young to understand.
- What?Copy !req
185. I'm not "too young"!Copy !req
186. I want to know what's on the other side.Copy !req
187. There was a girlCopy !req
188. surrounded by light.Copy !req
189. I don't get it!Copy !req
190. A voice was talking to me, or was itCopy !req
191. - talking about me?
- Aw.Copy !req
192. - How does she know me?
- Ah!Copy !req
193. - Hm.
- She even mentioned I was the prince,Copy !req
194. how could she know? Ah! How?Copy !req
195. How can she know me so well?Copy !req
196. Hm.Copy !req
197. - Her voice sounds familiar, but I don't.
- Huh?Copy !req
198. Know who she is.Copy !req
199. Do you know what that means?Copy !req
200. Ah…Copy !req
201. Calm down, we share history with
the humankind.Copy !req
202. They tell stories and then they are…Copy !req
203. Fiction. That becomes reality.Copy !req
204. Humans are afraid to dream.Copy !req
205. - Fiction and truth.
- Fiction and truth.Copy !req
206. - Two sides of view.
- Two sides of view.Copy !req
207. - Constellation in full, you're a.
- Constellation in full, you're aCopy !req
208. - paradox deep with hymn.
- paradox deep with hymn.Copy !req
209. The fiction becomes now woven from
threads of ferocity.Copy !req
210. Fiction and dreams of yesteryearCopy !req
211. reveal the truth and stay untouched by
the lies.Copy !req
212. - Fiction and truth.
- Fiction and truth.Copy !req
213. - Two sides of view.

214. - Constellation in full, you're a.
- Constellation in full, you're aCopy !req
215. - paradox deep with hymn.
- paradox deep with hymn.Copy !req
216. This realm is the home to the fears
of humankind,Copy !req
217. - we are the ideas that frighten them.
- Huh?Copy !req
218. So we're just ideas?Copy !req
219. Does that mean… we don't exist?Copy !req
220. Oh.Copy !req
221. Do you really feel like you don't exist?Copy !req
222. - Mhh… Mh…
- Oh!Copy !req
223. Ehm… Eh…Copy !req
224. - You are a sweet dream.
- You are the truth.Copy !req
225. - And fiction too.
- You are word.Copy !req
226. - You are a sweet dream.
- You are the truth.Copy !req
227. - And fiction too.
- You are word.Copy !req
228. - Truth is not a solute. There is no such.
- Truth is not a solute. There is no such.Copy !req
229. Ah.Copy !req
230. - Thing, therefore.
- Thing, therefore You're real.Copy !req
231. You're real.Copy !req
232. Ahh!Copy !req
233. - Ahh!
- Ah, Ficturo!Copy !req
234. - Oh… It's alright.
- Ah!Copy !req
235. - What was that?
- Relax.Copy !req
236. - I don't know!
- To the throne chamber!Copy !req
237. Your Majesties,Copy !req
238. do you need help?Copy !req
239. Thank you, Captain Mythelitas.Copy !req
240. I'm afraid there's nothing more we can do
for the King.Copy !req
241. Eh… Uh…Copy !req
242. Forgive me for troubling you, but the…Copy !req
243. - Excuse me, I-
- Royal Nightmare Maker…Copy !req
244. Demands to have a hearing with Your
Majesties…Copy !req
245. Immediately.Copy !req
246. Dad!Copy !req
247. Shall I let him in?Copy !req
248. There's no time for these… formalities!Copy !req
249. They're… Uh… uh…Copy !req
250. They're outrageous!Copy !req
251. - That's enough!
- Huh?Copy !req
252. Hold it.Copy !req
253. Your Majesty!Copy !req
254. There has been a terrible,Copy !req
255. ruinous and very scandalous fluctuation
between the realms!Copy !req
256. Captain!Copy !req
257. Holy shadows, Your Majesty!Copy !req
258. - You look absolutely awful.
- Eh.Copy !req
259. Oh…Copy !req
260. Uh… I wonder if it's time to review the
proposal that I…Copy !req
261. Procustes…Copy !req
262. This is hardly the right moment.Copy !req
263. Huh?Copy !req
264. - Have the prince taken to his chambers,
- What?Copy !req
265. If you would.Copy !req
266. My young master,Copy !req
267. Eh… would you come with me?Copy !req
268. Mh. Mh… Oh…Copy !req
269. Here, dad.Copy !req
270. Mhh… Oh…Copy !req
271. - Hey…
- Do as I say, son.Copy !req
272. Uh… Hm.Copy !req
273. Huh?Copy !req
274. Uh…Copy !req
275. Uh… Uh… no, wait! Procustes…Copy !req
276. Yes… Your Highness?Copy !req
277. What's wrong with my parents?Copy !req
278. Well, uhm…Copy !req
279. You see…Copy !req
280. A heavy burden rests upon the
shoulders of the King and Queen, my Lord.Copy !req
281. Our kind grows weaker.Copy !req
282. Its strength, its vigor, its presence,Copy !req
283. all slipping away,Copy !req
284. because of the human scum.Copy !req
285. - Your parents are the first ones to.
- Ow…Copy !req
286. Feel it, and the kingdom follows.Copy !req
287. No, I won't allow it!Copy !req
288. I'm going to help them.Copy !req
289. Oh, I really wish you could, but…Copy !req
290. Huh?Copy !req
291. I'm afraid it's out of your hands, my
Lord.Copy !req
292. - But once they're gone,
- Uhm…Copy !req
293. - Eh, eh…
- you and I shall work together as one.Copy !req
294. I will share my masterpieces so that
you may send them to humankindCopy !req
295. in the form of horrific nightmares.Copy !req
296. Hm… Ow…Copy !req
297. Unfortunately we live at the mercyCopy !req
298. of those simple andCopy !req
299. brutishCopy !req
300. - creatures.
- Hm.Copy !req
301. No! I don't want to depend on humans!Copy !req
302. Ay…Copy !req
303. If only we were able to cross over to the
Realm of Existence…Copy !req
304. This would be a different story.Copy !req
305. And… is there…Copy !req
306. Anyone who can cross over?Copy !req
307. In an age long forgotten,Copy !req
308. a very long time ago,Copy !req
309. Fear of fear itself found its form.Copy !req
310. And a colossal feathered spider was born:Copy !req
311. The magnificent Enkara.Copy !req
312. Enkara realized her life was tethered to
the fear she awakened in the hearts ofCopy !req
313. humans.Copy !req
314. She used the Harpspider to cross and
thus subjugate the humans.Copy !req
315. Then the impertinent CeimutCopy !req
316. defended humankindCopy !req
317. and challenged EnkaraCopy !req
318. to a mighty battle.Copy !req
319. But Enkara captured CeimutCopy !req
320. and devoured him.Copy !req
321. Using his fangs and his spines,Copy !req
322. - Ceimut tore Enkara's throat open.
- Ahh!Copy !req
323. And escaped.Copy !req
324. Enkara was no moreCopy !req
325. and from her remainsCopy !req
326. two new species came into being:Copy !req
327. From her feathers…Copy !req
328. Tecothians, just like me!Copy !req
329. Yes, that's right!Copy !req
330. And from Enkara's silken webs,Copy !req
331. the Aradithians, like me, were born.Copy !req
332. Yet in these days we don't have enough
power to materialize in the Realm of.Copy !req
333. Existence.Copy !req
334. Ah, but I just…Copy !req
335. Mh,Copy !req
336. - You have just what, my Lord?
- uh…Copy !req
337. Uhm… I have just… remembered… that I'm
a little tired.Copy !req
338. Hm.Copy !req
339. Of course, of course, Your Highness!Copy !req
340. How foolish of me to trouble you
with such grown-up matters.Copy !req
341. Uh… I extend to you a cordial,Copy !req
342. genuine, and most deeply sincere apology.Copy !req
343. May you have the sweetest of nightmares.Copy !req
344. Thank you.Copy !req
345. Mh…Copy !req
346. Eww!Copy !req
347. Old socks are the worst in the entire
world!Copy !req
348. Just gross!Copy !req
349. Stop whining, Francisca Imelda,Copy !req
350. - Hm…
- as women,Copy !req
351. this has to be our duty.Copy !req
352. What I really want is to be a writer!Copy !req
353. I'll write about the being I saw
last night!Copy !req
354. Those terror stories of yours.Copy !req
355. That's it! A terror is what I saw!Copy !req
356. Stop with this nonsense!
You have a wild imagination,Copy !req
357. but you'll grow out of it.Copy !req
358. - Ah…
- They have even…Copy !req
359. Spoken of…Copy !req
360. - Crossing over to the Realm of Existence.
- Huh?Copy !req
361. The two realms must always remain
separate,Copy !req
362. How? Mh.Copy !req
363. Why can't they understand that
without that balance,Copy !req
364. we simply would not exist?Copy !req
365. I understand,Copy !req
366. but they have been giving too much heed
to.Copy !req
367. Procustes.Copy !req
368. I know he's been by your side for an
entire era, but…Copy !req
369. Have you considered…Copy !req
370. Getting rid of him?Copy !req
371. - Huh?
- No, no, no, no, no.Copy !req
372. Declaring war would only make
the situation worse.Copy !req
373. His ability as a Nightmare Maker
to travel with his consciousnessCopy !req
374. has become too dangerous.Copy !req
375. - I'd rather keep him under close watch.
- Oh…Copy !req
376. Oh… my dear Saymut,Copy !req
377. I know you risk a great deal in bringing
me this message.Copy !req
378. You have proven yourself a true friend.Copy !req
379. I'll think on what to do.Copy !req
380. Don't take too long Ficturo, the Chiefs
are growing impatient,Copy !req
381. they won't stand idly byCopy !req
382. as all their clans fade away.Copy !req
383. I truly appreciate your advice, my old
friend.Copy !req

386. 10 YEARS LATERCopy !req
387. Thank you for joining me, Mythelitas.Copy !req
388. I needed to clear my head.Copy !req
389. I'm… at your service.Copy !req
390. I'm concerned about our realm, there's…Copy !req
391. Nothing I can do.Copy !req
392. It's none of my business, Your Highness,
but…Copy !req
393. Have you taken a look at the Royal
Nightmare Maker's latest stories?Copy !req
394. Ah! Prince Herneval!Copy !req
395. No.Copy !req
396. Tell me why has the royal family
abandoned us?Copy !req
397. Why won't you act to prevent our demise?Copy !req
398. Long live Procuestes!Copy !req
399. The only noble terror who truly
cares about us!Copy !req
400. Ah! Agh!Copy !req
401. No! No! Please don't!Copy !req
402. We will all slowly fade away.Copy !req
403. Uh… uh… What do I do?Copy !req
404. Ah-Copy !req
405. No…Copy !req
406. No!Copy !req
407. We need to make a change.Copy !req
408. No!Copy !req
409. My stories!Copy !req
410. I thought I told you that little girlsCopy !req
411. cannot be writers.Copy !req
412. Today is the day, my dear terrors,Copy !req
413. the world is finally going to meet you.Copy !req
414. Ah…Copy !req
415. I implore you, Your Majesty…Copy !req
416. Uh… I must insist one more time.Copy !req
417. Ficturo… don't!Copy !req
418. Ah…Copy !req
419. If you would only allow me,Copy !req
420. I would do my very bestCopy !req
421. to assemble the wisest terrors and
find a way to cross over.Copy !req
422. Uh… it's your responsibility as the royal
family to save us from the-Copy !req
423. That's enough, Procustes.Copy !req
424. - Oh!
- Now leave us.Copy !req
425. Guards, show Procustes the way out.Copy !req
426. Yes, sir.Copy !req
427. He's gone, Dad.Copy !req

444. Ah.Copy !req
445. Ah.Copy !req
446. What do we have here…?Copy !req
447. Ow!Copy !req
448. Oh… the nightmares of today are not
what they once were.Copy !req
449. - Ow…
- Mom!Copy !req
450. Uh, no, please don't worry, honey.Copy !req
451. What matters above all is that you are
safe and well.Copy !req
452. No, but-how can you tell me not to
worry?Copy !req
453. Your mother and I have done everything we
could,Copy !req

decisions for the Topus Terrentus.Copy !req
456. This is garbage!Copy !req
457. Don't underestimate Procustes.Copy !req
458. Each and every decision you makeCopy !req
459. will have infinite consequences.Copy !req
460. - Procustes!
- Ahh!Copy !req
461. Your Highness!Copy !req
462. Uh…Copy !req
463. I was right in the middle of my-Copy !req
464. uh… he he he…Copy !req
465. Daily writing session.Copy !req
466. Doesn't look like it.Copy !req
467. Uh-uh…
well, you wouldn't understand this,Copy !req
468. but uh-Copy !req
469. it is vital that a writer have time
to himself,Copy !req
470. time for leisure and…Copy !req
471. And to do other…Copy !req
472. Things.Copy !req
473. That's what concerns me.Copy !req
474. My parents are very sick.Copy !req
475. Of course, that is due to the fact thatCopy !req
476. nowadays it's difficult to remain
healthy so…Copy !req
477. I think it's due to your stories.Copy !req
478. Uh, ahm.Copy !req
479. The nightmares you write no longer
frighten the humans.Copy !req
480. Ah. Because humans are all wrong!Copy !req
481. The people must always bear the blame!Copy !req
482. I want to bring in another writer,Copy !req
483. a human.Copy !req
484. That's blasphemy! That's nonsense!Copy !req
485. There can't be two Royal Nightmare
Makers!Copy !req
486. How could a human even hope to cross?Copy !req
487. I believe I've already figured it out.Copy !req
488. The time to change has come.Copy !req
489. As it happens, I am finishing my latest
masterpiece.Copy !req
490. Just be patient my young master.Copy !req
491. You'll witness the quality of my
nightmares.Copy !req
492. I've had enough patience and you know it.Copy !req
493. Ahh!Copy !req
494. He's a very holy man.Copy !req
495. And… he's been preaching for a long time.Copy !req
496. Francisca!Copy !req
497. - Hi there.
- Oh!Copy !req
498. Uh… Augusto!Copy !req
499. I'm on my way to see your father at his
editorial office.Copy !req
500. Yes, I know.Copy !req
501. I just wanted to wish you luck. Uh-
n-not that you need it, of course,Copy !req
502. the thing is-that my father can be an
expert in discouraging sometimes but-Copy !req
503. you'll do just fine.Copy !req
504. Alright, then… I'll go find out?Copy !req
505. Right, right.Copy !req
506. Sure.Copy !req
507. Mh… hm…Copy !req
508. Ehm… Alright…Copy !req
509. - Good to see you.
- Of course.Copy !req
510. Oh!Copy !req
511. - And uhm… uh-what? - what?
- Whatever happens,Copy !req
512. your stories have been…Copy !req
513. Fascinating,Copy !req
514. since we were young.Copy !req
515. Ugh!Copy !req
516. My dear Miss Francisca Imelda,Copy !req
517. such a fine lady like you shouldn't be
writingCopy !req
518. these uh…Copy !req
519. Horrible… stories.Copy !req
520. - Don't drag your good name in the mud.
- Uh…Copy !req
521. But did you at least read one?Copy !req
522. I would never waste my precious
time reading this…Copy !req
523. Piece of trash!Copy !req
524. Art, literature,Copy !req
525. should emulate reality,Copy !req
526. not createCopy !req
527. a new one.Copy !req
528. - Wait! Oh…
- Uh…Copy !req
529. You were right all along, Grandma.Copy !req
530. And now I quit!Copy !req
531. Mh.Copy !req
532. BY FRANCISCA IMELDACopy !req
533. BY FRANKELDACopy !req
534. If Francisca Imelda couldn't do it,Copy !req
535. Frankelda will certainly succeed!Copy !req
536. I will become the best writer I can be
in fantasy and horror.Copy !req
537. Forgive me, Francisca. Did I scare you?Copy !req
538. We've… met before.Copy !req
539. Sure we have, when we were kids.Copy !req
540. It is you!Copy !req
541. And I have read all the stories you've
written.Copy !req
542. Oof! All real masterpieces.Copy !req
543. I'm Herneval, Prince of Terrors,Copy !req
544. just the way you named our species.Copy !req
545. - Even though we live in hiding, you.
- But don't you…Copy !req
546. Have managed to capture our very
essence in a…Copy !req
547. Sublime way.Copy !req
548. That's why I'm here,Copy !req
549. because I require your help.Copy !req
550. My help?Copy !req
551. But you don't exist!Copy !req
552. I don't exist?Copy !req
553. What's real and what's not?Copy !req
554. We live in a different dimension that you
peek into when you write.Copy !req
555. Oh!Copy !req
556. - Uh…
- Mh…Copy !req
557. Nowadays you all have a logical
explanation for every single nightmareCopy !req
558. that we send you.Copy !req
559. Are you the creators of our nightmares?Copy !req
560. Yes,
the Royal Nightmare Maker creates them,Copy !req
561. we all depend on his… "talent",Copy !req
562. but he's too outdated now.Copy !req
563. Ah…Copy !req
564. He writes one cliché after another.Copy !req
565. But maybe if we had better stories…Copy !req
566. What are you saying?Copy !req
567. Don't be afraid,Copy !req
568. I'm your biggest fan,Copy !req
569. I would never hurt you,Copy !req
570. we just need to understand humans a
little bit better.Copy !req
571. What are humans afraid of now?Copy !req
572. Mhh…Copy !req
573. Our inner selves.Copy !req
574. Mhh!Copy !req
575. Very interesting.Copy !req
576. Please, you have to help us.Copy !req
577. Mh. No…Copy !req
578. I will go! How do we get there?Copy !req
579. Only your consciousness is allowed
to come.Copy !req
580. What? But how am I…?Copy !req
581. I will help you with that.Copy !req
582. Mhh… No, hold on.Copy !req
583. You have to relax a little.Copy !req
584. Why don't you try reading me the last
poem you wrote?Copy !req
585. You think we're alone here, that the
night is ours but there are some secretsCopy !req
586. in our deepest nightmares.Copy !req
587. It's my ink that stares at us, and my
eyes are scrambling. Dwelling in theCopy !req
588. shadows, in the pages they're hiding.
And it's not so dreadful, you canCopy !req
589. see the unknown when you read through.
This invisible ink that now livesCopy !req
590. without a breath, an author who's…Copy !req
591. And it's not so dreadful, you can see the
unknown when you read through. ThisCopy !req
592. invisible ink that now lives without a
breath, an author who's…Copy !req
593. A Terror!Copy !req
594. Come with me, Francisca.Copy !req
595. Not Francisca.Copy !req
596. I am Frankelda!Copy !req
597. A human writer?Copy !req
598. Never have I been so grievously afronted.Copy !req
599. Neither I nor any of the Seven Clans.Copy !req
600. Hmm…Copy !req
601. Perhaps your idea isn't that bad after
all, my dearest little Prince.Copy !req
602. Oh!Copy !req
603. Mh.Copy !req
604. Hm? It won't be long now, my Goddess,Copy !req
605. the Seven Clans have begun to assemble.Copy !req
606. Clan of the Magic… is present.Copy !req
607. Aluxastli!Copy !req
608. Here come Dubium and Timet from
the Clan of the Psyche.Copy !req
609. Ugh…Copy !req
610. - Ceimut from the Clan of the Primal.
- Ahh!Copy !req
611. Milady Siren from the Clan of the Depths,Copy !req
612. thank you for coming.Copy !req
613. Bloodsucker from the Clan of the.Copy !req
614. - Darkness,
- Ahh!Copy !req
615. And her… goat.Copy !req
616. Oh!Copy !req
617. Lady Coyote from the Clan of the
Death graces us with her presence,Copy !req
618. how wonderful-Copy !req
619. I have been summoned to a most pressing
meeting toCopy !req
620. protect the Realm of Terrors from its
ruin!Copy !req
621. According to a…Copy !req
622. Message of utmost… importance.Copy !req
623. Don Coco's here.Copy !req
624. - I can't imagine what could be so vital.
- Uh… Ow!Copy !req
625. As to compel me to cancelCopy !req
626. all of my plans today.Copy !req
627. Explain yourself at once,Copy !req
628. - Royal Nightmare Maker!
- Yes, of courseCopy !req
629. Don Coco from the Clan of the Robbery.Copy !req
630. It is a prodigious honorCopy !req
631. for yours truly to stand before suchCopy !req
632. illustrious and baleful.Copy !req
633. Chiefs of the Seven Clans.Copy !req
634. We must pledge ourselves to determine the
fate of our beloved Topus Terrentus.Copy !req
635. - That's insane!
- Huh?Copy !req
636. - First the royal couple.
- Oh, no!Copy !req
637. But then we will inevitably follow!Copy !req
638. Bit by bit we will allCopy !req
639. meet our end!Copy !req
640. What we need is to trust Our Majesties,Copy !req
641. this realm…Copy !req
642. Wouldn't even exist without them,Copy !req
643. show some honor…Copy !req
644. - And speak to them.
- Bah…Copy !req
645. Face-to-face.Copy !req
646. I think I may have a solution.Copy !req
647. I have summoned you,Copy !req
648. my brutal colleagues,Copy !req
649. because I recently made an unprecedented
discovery.Copy !req
650. I witnessed something extraordinary.Copy !req
651. With all these eyes of mine,Copy !req
652. I looked on as young Prince HernevalCopy !req
653. crossed through the portalCopy !req
654. - to the Realm of Existence.
- Oh, no! How?Copy !req
655. - That's impossible!
- No way?Copy !req
656. - Say what?
- Seriously?Copy !req
657. Someone would have to think about him
all the time.Copy !req
658. And that!Copy !req
659. Confirms my hypothesis,Copy !req
660. which the King and Queen have dismissed
in outrageCopy !req
661. and even mockeryCopy !req
662. countless times.Copy !req
663. But I won't be silent anymore!Copy !req
664. Not while I can still save you,Copy !req
665. and your clansCopy !req
666. by trying to find a way to invadeCopy !req
667. - the Realm of Existence.
- Huh?Copy !req
668. There is no other way!Copy !req
669. And that's why…Copy !req
670. I dare todayCopy !req
671. to ask for your supportCopy !req
672. to claim control of this realm.Copy !req
673. So that we may finally…Copy !req
674. - Behold a new era.
- Oh!Copy !req
675. Well…Copy !req
676. - Do you think it could work? If only.
- I'm sorry I don't think so.Copy !req
677. That's a terrible plan.Copy !req
678. - Maybe we could try.
- We could…Copy !req
679. - Ah!Copy !req
680. She's right!Copy !req
681. What if the problem with this realmCopy !req
682. is the Royal Nightmare Maker's stories?Copy !req
683. How can we even consider crossing overCopy !req
684. if we are less and less relevant to
the humans?Copy !req
685. Someone had to say it.Copy !req
686. - Well yes? That could be true?
- She's right.Copy !req
687. What have you beenCopy !req
688. working on lately, Procustes?Copy !req
689. Show us your nightmares at once!Copy !req
690. That is a good idea, right?Copy !req
691. How dare you question my artistry?Copy !req
692. No one could ever write the way I do!Copy !req
693. My… dramatic talent is exceptional!Copy !req
694. My prose truly glows,Copy !req
695. and my rhyme is simply sublime!Copy !req
696. My stories are…Copy !req
697. Clichés!Copy !req
698. Well why don't you prove your worth?Copy !req
699. Show us your most recent writings.Copy !req
700. I will do so!Copy !req
701. I will show you my latest masterpiece,Copy !req
702. and you'll see that I am not to blame for
this most-Copy !req
703. mh-Copy !req
704. embarrassing situation.Copy !req
705. - Let us hope your promises materialize.
- Is he really going to do that?Copy !req
706. I doubt he has even a single word
written.Copy !req
707. This time.Copy !req
708. Let's go home, Macaria.Copy !req
709. - We'll see about that.
- I don't believe him.Copy !req
710. Come on, hurry, sweetie.Copy !req
711. Wow!Copy !req
712. Woah!Copy !req
713. Mh.Copy !req
714. I think you two will like each other.Copy !req
715. Come!Copy !req
716. What is this place?Copy !req
717. - This is my home.
- But uh… is this real or imaginary?Copy !req
718. How many types of terrors are there?Copy !req
719. - Mh…
- Is a monster the same as a terror?Copy !req
720. How long does an average terror live?
How long have we been here?Copy !req
721. Well, you'll see, time passes a little
differently here.Copy !req
722. Ah! Tell me exactly how?Copy !req
723. How long is an hour here versus
an hour in-?Copy !req
724. You can't really understand the Realm
of Terrors using the reasoning of the.Copy !req
725. Realm of Existence.Copy !req
726. This whole place…Copy !req
727. What lies within?Copy !req
728. Drama, horror, and mystery too.Copy !req
729. It's the work of an author who
has refined and shaped her mind.Copy !req
730. Welcome to your inner world!Copy !req
731. I've been in this place before.Copy !req
732. Intuition, wit, and craftCopy !req
733. in the service of our art,Copy !req
734. can reveal this hidden truth.Copy !req
735. This place is made out of you.Copy !req
736. I've been in this place before. A dream
written into existing. I've been in thisCopy !req
737. place before. A memory bottled burried.
This is my dream world thoughtsCopy !req
738. and words are brought to life.Copy !req
739. This is my dream world thoughts and words
are brought to life.Copy !req
740. I have crossed beyond the veil.Copy !req
741. A strange and other worldly realm.Copy !req
742. It is more real than reality.Copy !req
743. I've been in this place before.Copy !req
744. You envision and you see or perhaps
the reverse may be. Writing what youCopy !req
745. behold, you return to us again.Copy !req
746. - Welcome to my kingdom, a place you can.
- I've been in this place before a dreamCopy !req

751. - I have crossed the other veil, a strange.
- Welcome to your inner world, It's aCopy !req
752. - and other worldly realm. It is more real.

753. - Than reality, I've been in this.
- You return to us again, a place you canCopy !req
754. - place before.
- call home.Copy !req
755. - Uh, uh…

764. It's… an honor to meet you.Copy !req
765. - Welcome, my dear child.
- Ah…Copy !req
766. Well, thank you.Copy !req
767. - Mh.
- Bravo!Copy !req
768. The exceedingly gifted human writer has
finally arrived!Copy !req
769. Uh… "Exceedingly gifted"?Copy !req
770. Yes! The Prince has been talking
about you non-stop.Copy !req
771. Ah! Eh…Copy !req
772. Frankelda,Copy !req
773. please meet Procustes.Copy !req
774. The one and only Royal Nightmare Maker,Copy !req
775. at your service.Copy !req
776. Mh…Copy !req
777. Pleased to meet you.Copy !req
778. I'm profoundly eager to read your
wonderful stories.Copy !req
779. Oh, of course! Here they are, hope youCopy !req
780. - find them to your liking.
- Uh…Copy !req
781. - Yes! Perhaps I could take them to…
- Procustes!Copy !req
782. Read them here instead,Copy !req
783. that way Frankelda can…Copy !req
784. See how you react.Copy !req
785. - Right?
- As you wish, your Highness…Copy !req
786. Mh…Copy !req
787. Oi…Copy !req
788. Mh, ah.Copy !req
789. … Absolute certainty.Copy !req
790. - The ghosts went about with their arms.
- Huh?Copy !req
791. Outstretched, acting foolishly.Copy !req
792. - She shut her eyes, swallowed, and went on.
- Ah…Copy !req
793. Playing.Copy !req
794. - Consumed by tears born of her.
- Huh…Copy !req
795. Own passion.
Her eyes widened in surprise, but herCopy !req
796. - expression did not change.
- Ow…Copy !req
797. El Coco removed his hat, from which the
passions of other children emerge asCopy !req
798. ghosts.Copy !req
799. Baton in hand, El Coco began a painful
concert for his slaves, who broke intoCopy !req
800. near-silent sobbing.Copy !req
801. - Tell me.
- Uh… Yes?Copy !req
802. What motivates you to write?Copy !req
803. Well…Copy !req
804. To get away…Copy !req
805. From my reality.Copy !req
806. My writing flows when I unburden my
thoughts.Copy !req
807. - I see now…
- Uh, uh… but…Copy !req
808. What do you…Copy !req
809. Mh, think of them?Copy !req
810. They're-not that bad,Copy !req
811. they're fine overall,Copy !req
812. they're not much to speak of
honestly but,Copy !req
813. I mean, some of the stories are…Copy !req
814. Bland, flat…Copy !req
815. Boring… ordinary.Copy !req
816. - Oh…
- Oh, no, no, no, no, no!Copy !req
817. Don't take it like that.Copy !req
818. It's not such bad work, for something
written by a…Copy !req
819. An… amateur.Copy !req
820. But, well it's important, as you're just
starting, that you don't let delusionsCopy !req
821. of grandeur get the better of you.Copy !req
822. If you'll allow me, I would be
truly pleased to share the professionalCopy !req
823. wisdom I have amassed throughout my mostCopy !req
824. prolificCopy !req
825. writing career.Copy !req
826. Ah… uh, uh,Copy !req
827. uh, yes, yes, you're very kind to me.Copy !req
828. I believe you lack structure.Copy !req
829. Uh…Copy !req
830. The characters' motivations are unclear,
tell you what,Copy !req
831. I'm going to give you aCopy !req
832. copy of my Sinister Writing Handbook,Copy !req
833. a book I wrote myself,Copy !req
834. where you can find a step-by-step
guide to writing…Copy !req
835. - Properly.
- Thank you.Copy !req
836. - You're so kind.
- Alright…Copy !req
837. let's just call it a day.
We'll talk later, Procustes.Copy !req
838. Certainly, Your Highness,Copy !req
839. I simply can't wait.Copy !req
840. No, wait!Copy !req
841. Oh… uh… uh…Copy !req
842. My book,Copy !req
843. if you will.Copy !req
844. Come in.Copy !req
845. Ah…Copy !req
846. I spent hours in this room when I was
a kid.Copy !req
847. These books contain the literature and
history of the Terrors.Copy !req
848. Fascinating!Copy !req
849. I love it!Copy !req
850. You can stay here if you want.Copy !req
851. Uh… uh…Copy !req
852. I have to go back soon.Copy !req
853. I appreciate it.Copy !req
854. Procustes is…Copy !req
855. A jealous terror.Copy !req
856. How can I be certain you're telling the
truth?Copy !req
857. When I read your stories I'm
not Herneval,Copy !req
858. I'm one of your hundreds of characters.Copy !req
859. And when I'm not reading them…Copy !req
860. The only thing I can think about is uh…Copy !req
861. Is uh…Copy !req
862. It's your stories.Copy !req
863. - Mh.
- I really want to trust in you…Copy !req
864. But…Copy !req
865. - Can I?
- Yes.Copy !req
866. And I beg you-never to doubt your talent.Copy !req
867. Ah… mh… ah…Copy !req
868. Ah!Copy !req
869. Uh…Copy !req
870. Hm…Copy !req
871. Uhm…Copy !req
872. ONCE UPON...Copy !req
873. “Well, no way, sir.Copy !req
874. I won't let you leave here.Copy !req
875. Ever again...Copy !req
876. - Amazing.
- You think so?Copy !req
877. Ha! Uh, listen,Copy !req
878. there's something I need to tell you.Copy !req
879. This realm is…Copy !req
880. So captivating!Copy !req
881. Oh…Copy !req
882. - Uh, uh… Frankelda, hear me out.
- This gives me so many ideas.Copy !req
883. - I need you to help me.
- I…Copy !req
884. Don't know if I can be of any help.Copy !req
885. Heh-heh…
You can do more than you can imagine.Copy !req
886. Uh…Copy !req
887. I don't even know how to say this.Copy !req
888. And maybe it's a bit rushed, I know, but
uh-Copy !req
889. Uh… time's running out.Copy !req
890. If we don't do something, we'll all be
gone soon.Copy !req
891. Uh… what I really mean, uhm-Copy !req
892. well, I'm just… uh, uhm…Copy !req
893. Uh, uh…Copy !req
894. I wanted to ask if you'd like to beCopy !req
895. uh the Royal Nightmare Maker?Copy !req
896. - You mean stay here?
- Mh…Copy !req
897. I know it's too much, but…Copy !req
898. I think it might be good for…Copy !req
899. Obviously for all of us, but also…Copy !req
900. It'd be good for… for you.Copy !req
901. I don't think I'm up to par.Copy !req
902. I know you are. I'll prove it to you.Copy !req
903. Let me borrow your book, so my parents
can craft new nightmares.Copy !req
904. Uh…Copy !req
905. I'm sure your stories will revitalize
the Topus Terrentus.Copy !req
906. Uh… Uh, uh…Copy !req
907. So your parents are going to read my
stories?Copy !req
908. Please! We need them!Copy !req
909. Trust in me.Copy !req
910. I trust in you.Copy !req
911. What a splendid day to change the course
of history!Copy !req
912. Oh…Copy !req
913. Today will be remembered as the day
when writers cast aside their egosCopy !req
914. to preserve the.Copy !req
915. Topus Terrentus.Copy !req
916. What is going on?Copy !req
917. What? Ha!Copy !req
918. Hasn't His Highness told you what he
promised to do?Copy !req
919. No…Copy !req
920. We… agreed he would ask you for your book
giving me the opportunity to improveCopy !req
921. - your stories.
- Uh…Copy !req
922. - That's not what…
- What a plan! He's a genius strategist.Copy !req
923. Uh, Franke…Copy !req
924. Now your kind will know our
great stories.Copy !req
925. You'll be the assistant to the greatestCopy !req
926. - author who ever lived!
- What are you…Copy !req
927. Yours truly!Copy !req
928. How could you do this?Copy !req
929. Frankelda, that's not what…Copy !req
930. But Your Highness, we discussed this
yesterday.Copy !req
931. I will deal with you later!Copy !req
932. This is a terrible misunderstanding,Copy !req
933. - my Lord! Ow…
- Get off me!Copy !req
934. Frankelda! It's not what you think!Copy !req
935. Procustes is…Copy !req
936. Procustes is the only one who's been
honest here!Copy !req
937. He's always made it clear how mediocre
I am!Copy !req
938. Leave me alone! Leave me at once!Copy !req
939. Uh, uh… we'll talk tomorrow.Copy !req
940. No! No!Copy !req
941. Tomorrow I leave this place for good.Copy !req
942. I don't want to hear about the terrorsCopy !req
943. or you.Copy !req
944. Ah…Copy !req
945. Your Highness.Copy !req
946. How did you know I was here?Copy !req
947. Just leave!Copy !req
948. With everyone's cooperation,Copy !req
949. I'm confident that, together, we can
find a way through this predicament,Copy !req
950. my Lord. Ah…Copy !req
951. If only she could stay one more day
in this realm.Copy !req
952. It's too late for that.Copy !req
953. No, it's not.Copy !req
954. If we send your friend a petty, trivial,
insignificant nightmare tonightCopy !req
955. - maybe she'll remember how awful her.
- What?Copy !req
956. Life is in the Realm of Existence,Copy !req
957. and she might even consider staying aCopy !req
958. - bit longer.
- Uh…Copy !req
959. That would be painful for her.Copy !req
960. No, no!Copy !req
961. No! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.Copy !req
962. Heh… well, not too much,Copy !req
963. just… enough to… convince her to stay,Copy !req
964. and prevent your parents and the
kingdom from dying.Copy !req
965. Alright…Copy !req
966. But I'll be the one to supervise
the nightmare.Copy !req
967. Oh, of course, my Lord!Copy !req
968. I just have to write about something very
specific in her life.Copy !req
969. Oh… Uh.Copy !req
970. - Do you have any suggestions?
- Oh…Copy !req
971. Write about her grandmother.Copy !req
972. Ha!Copy !req
973. Hmm…Copy !req
974. Forgive me, Frankelda.Copy !req
975. Mh. Mh.Copy !req
976. Mh.Copy !req
977. Now listen up, child!Copy !req
978. You are not leaving this houseCopy !req
979. until you finish mendingCopy !req
980. each and every sock in that pile!Copy !req
981. Not one book!Copy !req
982. Maybe then you'll stop going around
calling me "witch."Copy !req
983. Let's find out how the writer
unburdens her thoughts.Copy !req
984. Agh!Copy !req
985. Francisca always woke up right before the
sunriseCopy !req
986. so she could make breakfast for her ten
older siblings,Copy !req
987. all of them men,Copy !req
988. they used to work in the silver minesCopy !req
989. along with their fatherCopy !req
990. who was the owner.Copy !req
991. As nighttime was not enough,Copy !req
992. she used any opportunity she had to…Copy !req
993. Hmm…Copy !req
994. Hmm…Copy !req
995. What? A hen-witch?Copy !req
996. Called Totolina? Well, it's… uh…Copy !req
997. Oh…Copy !req
998. Oh!Copy !req
999. It's good! Uh…Copy !req
1000. It's… magnificent!Copy !req
1001. Oh! Uh… this story could be a milestoneCopy !req
1002. in the history of Topus Terrentus!Copy !req
1003. Oh! And it's mine!Copy !req
1004. - Hello, my dear!
- Oh!Copy !req
1005. Frankelda, please join us!Copy !req
1006. Good morning, Your Majesties.Copy !req
1007. Do you know how I can go back to
my realm?Copy !req
1008. You can't leave without first reading
Procustes's new stories.Copy !req
1009. Characters with desires,Copy !req
1010. fears and insecurities.Copy !req
1011. Irony… suffering…Copy !req
1012. learning and personal growth.Copy !req
1013. So goodCopy !req
1014. that I find it hard to believe that
they are Procustes'.Copy !req
1015. Uh…Copy !req
1016. No. Ah…Copy !req
1017. What?
These are the dreams I had last night.Copy !req
1018. I was going to write them down today,Copy !req
1019. you sent me those nightmares about…Copy !req
1020. No, Frankelda,Copy !req
1021. we don't know what you're talking about.Copy !req
1022. You!Copy !req
1023. You. You!Copy !req
1024. You traitor!Copy !req
1025. You were right, son, all we ever needed
were new stories.Copy !req
1026. But I suspect…Copy !req
1027. They weren't written by he who claims to
have done so.Copy !req
1028. Am I right?Copy !req
1029. I don't get it.Copy !req
1030. Wait… what? No, no! No, no, no!Copy !req
1031. He stole them while Frankelda was
dreaming!Copy !req
1032. - Go to her.
- We have to fix this right now!Copy !req
1033. Frankelda!Copy !req
1034. I underestimated Procustes.Copy !req
1035. Forgive me, I'll fix it.Copy !req
1036. I'm such a fool.Copy !req
1037. This… is where we give up, isn't it?Copy !req
1038. No!Copy !req
1039. You stole it all!Copy !req
1040. You even stole-You even stole my dreams!Copy !req
1041. Isn't Prince Herneval the one
desperate to get your stories, byCopy !req
1042. any means necessary?Copy !req
1043. Yes! You both are nothing but thieves!Copy !req
1044. I understand how you're feeling.Copy !req
1045. Oh, it's such a tragic tale of love,Copy !req
1046. your lover betrayed you,Copy !req
1047. because he never cared for you at all,Copy !req
1048. he only… used you.Copy !req
1049. Ah…Copy !req
1050. Mm…Copy !req
1051. Ah…Copy !req
1052. Ah!Copy !req
1053. Lock her up.Copy !req
1054. Ah!Copy !req
1055. - Uh-huh. Your wish is my command, my Lord.
- Ah!Copy !req
1056. Ah! Ah!
Ah!Copy !req
1057. - And you will keep writing stories for me.
- Ah!Copy !req
1058. Ah!Copy !req
1059. No!Copy !req
1060. - Ah!
- I shall find a way for you to do so.Copy !req
1061. You three…Copy !req
1062. Summon the Court of Terror.Copy !req
1063. Of course, my liege.Copy !req
1064. As you wish.Copy !req
1065. Right away.Copy !req
1066. A brand new Topus Terrentus is being
born!Copy !req
1067. It's timeCopy !req
1068. to come out of the dark!Copy !req
1069. She's gone.Copy !req
1070. - No…
- I don't want to hear about the terrorsCopy !req
1071. or you.Copy !req
1072. - Tomorrow I leave this place for good.
- Ah…Copy !req
1073. I hope you're enjoying your new home.Copy !req
1074. Ah! Ah…Copy !req
1075. It'll be much easier if you don't try to
escape, child.Copy !req
1076. It's impossible!Copy !req
1077. You'll just tire yourself out.Copy !req
1078. Let me leave!Copy !req
1079. Why are you complaining,Copy !req
1080. Francisca? I mean, no!Copy !req
1081. Frankelda.Copy !req
1082. Wasn't this exactly what you wanted?Copy !req
1083. If not,Copy !req
1084. why did you write us,Copy !req
1085. sweetie?Copy !req
1086. Ahh!Copy !req
1087. And that's how Procustes uncovered the
betrayal Prince Herneval had beenCopy !req
1088. planning.Copy !req
1089. He wanted his human to take credit
for all of our illustrious Royal.Copy !req
1090. Nightmare Maker's pieces of art.Copy !req
1091. - Treachery!
- Treachery!Copy !req
1092. And HernevalCopy !req
1093. has fled to the Realm of Existence,Copy !req
1094. he plans to conquer humansCopy !req
1095. with his charismaCopy !req
1096. and use them to dismantle the Seven
Clans.Copy !req
1097. Only then will he be able to rule
both realms!Copy !req
1098. - Treachery!
- Treachery!Copy !req
1099. - Treachery!
- Treachery!Copy !req
1100. Treachery! The Topus TerrentusCopy !req
1101. could come to an endCopy !req
1102. because of the envy the Prince of Terrors
has for the Royal Nightmare Maker.Copy !req
1103. - Treachery!
- Treachery!Copy !req
1104. - Treachery!
- Treachery!Copy !req
1105. No! Agh! I loathe these new generations.Copy !req
1106. - Treachery!

1107. pretending to be human!Copy !req
1108. We have to stop this madness!Copy !req
1109. Let's take what's rightfully ours!Copy !req
1110. Death to the Royal Couple!Copy !req

1118. - The Topus Terrentus will disappear.
- What will become of us now? I wouldCopy !req
1119. like to know at once.Copy !req
1120. A time has come to take a stand
and to choose our fate together withCopy !req
1121. no guidance from the royal family.Copy !req
1122. We'll need to conspire as the realm
is now in danger. Everything weCopy !req
1123. know will fade to tragedy.Copy !req
1124. Let us save the Topus Terrentus. For a
species that's make up hurt.Copy !req
1125. He has betrayed us all he's going to
destroy our kind.Copy !req
1126. Who? Who?Copy !req

1128. He is advocating for human species.
He wants to replace us all at once.Copy !req

1130. within his hands. He has betrayed us
all and our kingdom will tear apart.Copy !req

destroy our kind.Copy !req
1132. Who? Who?Copy !req

option to save our realm.Copy !req
1158. He wants to save us all so that
the kingdom can grow and thrive.Copy !req

1232. Oh…Copy !req
1233. Oh…Copy !req
1234. - My masterpiece!
- Huh?Copy !req
1235. A story about our remarkably talented
Totolina,Copy !req
1236. Hm?Copy !req

the human realm.Copy !req
1238. I feel so alive!Copy !req

1245. We've been waiting for this for so long!Copy !req
1246. But we can't let that witchCopy !req
1247. cross before any of us!Copy !req
1248. A being as impure as you doesn't
deserve to cross before me!Copy !req
1249. Ah! May you be cursed,Copy !req
1250. Aluxastli!Copy !req
1251. - Oh, no…
- Ow!Copy !req
1252. For once, you've done something right.
Now, write about me!Copy !req
1253. About you?Copy !req
1254. I'm way more scary than you! Write
about me, your Majesty Procustes!Copy !req
1255. Uh… uh… did we have to sign up on a list?Copy !req
1256. I don't know,Copy !req
1257. but we…
could devour every last one of them.Copy !req
1258. - The very first story must be about me,
- Oh…Copy !req
1259. Procustes.Copy !req
1260. - Agh!
- Oh…Copy !req
1261. Ready when you are, Ficturo.Copy !req
1262. Now!Copy !req
1263. They're getting away!Copy !req
1264. - Come back here!
- No…Copy !req
1265. No!Copy !req
1266. - No.
- Ah!Copy !req
1267. - Ah…
- Alright, let's all calm down! I'll write.Copy !req
1268. - Ah!
- nightmares for every last one of you,Copy !req
1269. and together we'll cross in perfect
unison. Those humans will finally getCopy !req
1270. what they deserve!Copy !req
1271. I guess…Copy !req
1272. - Are we excited?
- Well, well did you hear that?Copy !req
1273. Maybe…Copy !req
1274. It's just… that you will need to give me
a little bit more time, though.Copy !req
1275. It's always the same.Copy !req
1276. After years of promising a masterpiece,
you still have the nerve to ask forCopy !req
1277. - more time.
- Why does this always happen to us?Copy !req
1278. I told you this fool wouldn't follow
through.Copy !req
1279. How is this even possible?Copy !req
1280. Francisca!Copy !req
1281. Francisca!Copy !req
1282. Are you here?Copy !req
1283. Francisca!Copy !req
1284. Francisca! Come back!Copy !req
1285. - You're alive!
- She didn't return.Copy !req
1286. You'll be alright,
I won't rest until I bring you back.Copy !req
1287. Frankelda!Copy !req
1288. Get me out of here!Copy !req
1289. Herneval?Copy !req
1290. Ahh!Copy !req
1291. I thought I wanted the best for you,Copy !req
1292. but I was only thinking of myself.Copy !req
1293. I was wrong. I know it's not much, but.Copy !req
1294. I'm sorry.Copy !req
1295. Doesn't matter now, I want you to be safe.Copy !req
1296. Come, Frankelda,
let's go back to your realm.Copy !req
1297. What about your kingdom? Your parents?Copy !req
1298. You shouldn't suffer for this,Copy !req
1299. I must fix one mistake at a time.Copy !req
1300. No. We must save your parents.Copy !req
1301. But, Frankelda…Copy !req
1302. No, Herneval, I want to help them.Copy !req
1303. I want to help you.Copy !req
1304. And I know I can do it,Copy !req
1305. I have an idea that will do just the
trick.Copy !req
1306. Thank you, Frankelda butCopy !req
1307. I'm really not sureCopy !req
1308. all my plans have gone wrong,Copy !req
1309. I'm scared.Copy !req
1310. Ugh…Copy !req
1311. Well, I am not!Copy !req
1312. And I have to capture Procustes.Copy !req
1313. Sometimes I hate my reality,Copy !req
1314. but I understand that fiction wouldn't
exist without it!Copy !req
1315. If the barrier between realms falls,
all things will turn literal.Copy !req
1316. Ordinary.Copy !req
1317. No more imagination,Copy !req
1318. fascination or wonder.Copy !req
1319. Where do you plan to lock him up?Copy !req
1320. There's no stronger place than my
imagination.Copy !req
1321. What? Be careful, Frankelda!Copy !req
1322. I already made the mistake of
underestimating Procustes.Copy !req
1323. All my fears live there,Copy !req
1324. there's room for another.Copy !req
1325. No! You're risking too much.Copy !req
1326. It's not going to work!Copy !req
1327. I'm sure Procustes will force you to
send me one of his nightmares soCopy !req
1328. he can keep stealing my stories.Copy !req
1329. And when that happens,Copy !req
1330. the only thing you'll have to doCopy !req
1331. is send me one that I'll have written
myself, alright?Copy !req
1332. Trust in me.Copy !req
1333. Of course I do.Copy !req
1334. Uhm… There once was a kid named-Copy !req
1335. Bob! Eh-Bob.Copy !req
1336. Who… was hypnotized byCopy !req
1337. the… the SirenCopy !req
1338. and when he got to schoolCopy !req
1339. he wasn't wearing-Copy !req
1340. pants.Copy !req
1341. Ha, this is pure gold, of course.Copy !req
1342. I think I'd rather you didn't write
anything about me.Copy !req
1343. I told you earlier this is not
how writing works I need-Copy !req
1344. Even a human writes better than you.
You're a disgrace.Copy !req
1345. None of you have a place here in the
Topus Terrentus!Copy !req
1346. Oh…Copy !req
1347. Oh…Copy !req
1348. The King and Queen are hurt,Copy !req
1349. I have to-Copy !req
1350. Saymuth!Copy !req
1351. - Your Highness.
- No!Copy !req
1352. Save your parents.Copy !req
1353. Save the Topus Terrentus.Copy !req
1354. I'm sorry.Copy !req
1355. Mythelitas!Copy !req
1356. Mythelitas, what are you doing?Copy !req
1357. Ah…Copy !req
1358. Ow!Copy !req
1359. - If either of you dares to move again…
- Ah…Copy !req
1360. The King and Queen are history.Copy !req
1361. I'm not fooling around!Copy !req
1362. Stop, Procustes!Copy !req
1363. I'll do whatever you want.Copy !req
1364. Is… your girlfriend going to cooperate?Copy !req
1365. How does it feel to have to steal storiesCopy !req
1366. - from a human?
- Ugh…Copy !req
1367. Huh?Copy !req
1368. You're a pathetic joke.Copy !req
1369. - Oh…
- Sorry…Copy !req
1370. Heh…Copy !req
1371. Send her this nightmare where she'll
live until she's writtenCopy !req
1372. every single story I could ever need.Copy !req
1373. I'm sure her imagination will be
stimulated given the recent events.Copy !req
1374. I will then consider releasing you,
depending on your good behavior, ofCopy !req
1375. course.Copy !req
1376. Ow…Copy !req
1377. Ah!Copy !req
1378. This… may seem like the story of a naive
girl who would do anything to try toCopy !req
1379. escape her reality,Copy !req
1380. but it isn't…Copy !req
1381. What is this?Copy !req
1382. This…Copy !req
1383. Is the storyCopy !req
1384. of a human writer who faced her fearsCopy !req
1385. and decided to write her own story!Copy !req
1386. Agh!Copy !req
1387. The Nightmare Maker thought he had theCopy !req
1388. - poor girl trapped in her worst nightmare,
- Ahh!Copy !req
1389. - Ow…
- But it was her who had him.Copy !req
1390. This is not the story I wrote!Copy !req
1391. He was so obsolete and useless that he
ended up turning into his own crumblingCopy !req
1392. - house.
- Oh…Copy !req
1393. And right before entering eternal rest,Copy !req
1394. he discovered that his worst nightmareCopy !req
1395. had only just come true.Copy !req
1396. He had been replaced.Copy !req
1397. His existence was meaningless.Copy !req
1398. He had gone down in history as the most
mediocre terror of all.Copy !req
1399. He… was just a sad memoryCopy !req
1400. of another time of glory.Copy !req
1401. Yes! I knew it would work!Copy !req
1402. This is definitely not the story I wrote!Copy !req
1403. Ahh! Help me!Copy !req
1404. Ah!Copy !req
1405. Procustes is changing the dream.Copy !req
1406. No!Copy !req
1407. Frankelda!Copy !req
1408. Stay away from her…Copy !req
1409. Those are…Copy !req
1410. Procustes's orders.Copy !req
1411. Please stop! Can't you see she needs help?Copy !req
1412. Frankelda, come back.Copy !req
1413. I said…Copy !req
1414. Stay away!Copy !req
1415. Oh!Copy !req
1416. What happened to me?Copy !req
1417. Huh?Copy !req
1418. Frankelda.Copy !req
1419. Ah! Ah…Copy !req
1420. Frankelda,Copy !req
1421. this is your story,Copy !req
1422. not his.Copy !req
1423. Mhh…Copy !req
1424. Mh… mhh…Copy !req
1425. You think you're alone here.Copy !req
1426. That the nights belong to you,Copy !req
1427. but within the nightmaresCopy !req
1428. don't trust what you can't prove.Copy !req
1429. It's my ink that stares at us.Copy !req
1430. - And my eyes rewrite you.
- Ah…Copy !req
1431. You dwell in the shadows.Copy !req
1432. In those pages you're hiding. And it'sCopy !req
1433. - not so dreadful, You can see the unknown.
- And it's not so dreadful, You can see theCopy !req
1434. - when you read through.
- unknown when you read through.Copy !req
1435. - This invisible ink that now lives.
- This invisible ink that now livesCopy !req
1436. - without a breath,
- without a breath,Copy !req
1437. - an author who's…
- an author who's…Copy !req
1438. A terror!Copy !req
1439. Hm! Your tongueCopy !req
1440. - can no longer hurt me!
- Uh…Copy !req
1441. But howCopy !req
1442. piercing and cruelCopy !req
1443. its words can be.Copy !req
1444. Huh?Copy !req
1445. - Frankelda!
- Oh…Copy !req
1446. Ahh!Copy !req
1447. - Now sleep!
- Ow…Copy !req
1448. You may claim victory this round…Copy !req
1449. But I shall not be trapped in here
by myself…Copy !req
1450. We need to find a way out!Copy !req
1451. I'm sorry Frankelda,Copy !req
1452. I failed again.Copy !req
1453. Herneval?Copy !req
1454. Herneval, what's wrong?Copy !req
1455. This is just a dream, no one can hurt
you here.Copy !req
1456. Not here, no…Copy !req
1457. But I was wounded in the palace,Copy !req
1458. before I came to get you.Copy !req
1459. What? No!Copy !req
1460. No! No!Copy !req
1461. - Mh.
- It is all my fault.Copy !req
1462. It's not your fault,Copy !req
1463. you saved my parents.Copy !req
1464. Herneval, you are the only one that
matters to me.Copy !req
1465. You must find a way out of here.Copy !req
1466. You're going to be alright.Copy !req
1467. Our story was the first one I started
writing.Copy !req
1468. Thanks to you I got to know this place
I had always dreamed of visiting.Copy !req
1469. Thanks to you I got to know myself.Copy !req
1470. Our story cannot die because stories…Copy !req
1471. Are immortal.Copy !req
1472. You live right here.Copy !req
1473. Huh?Copy !req
1474. Mh…Copy !req
1475. Ah…Copy !req
1476. Ah.Copy !req
1477. Ahh…Copy !req
1478. What have I done?Copy !req
1479. No!Copy !req
1480. I thought it was a nightmare,Copy !req
1481. please.Copy !req
1482. Wake up, please, wake up, Herneval.Copy !req
1483. Please don't leave us.Copy !req
1484. Ah…Copy !req
1485. - Lady Coyote!
- Ah…Copy !req
1486. Hm.Copy !req
1487. I knew you would never conspire
against us.Copy !req
1488. No!Copy !req
1489. My son!Copy !req
1490. Please, Lady Coyote,Copy !req
1491. is there anything you can do for them?Copy !req
1492. There is nothing to be done.Copy !req
1493. Your Majesties,Copy !req
1494. I cannot live with this dishonor.Copy !req
1495. I ask that my punishmentCopy !req
1496. be to pay with my own life.Copy !req
1497. No, Mythelitas.Copy !req
1498. You carry a great burden,Copy !req
1499. but you're not to blame.Copy !req
1500. You are like a son to us.Copy !req
1501. We don't know where Ceimuth
sent the traitors,Copy !req
1502. but we must ensure that they cannot do
any more harm.Copy !req
1503. Find them all and bring them before us.Copy !req
1504. Beware, Mythelitas,Copy !req
1505. a great war between the Seven ClansCopy !req
1506. is about to begin.Copy !req
1507. I swear,Copy !req
1508. by Prince Herneval,Copy !req
1509. not to restCopy !req
1510. until the last traitorCopy !req
1511. falls!Copy !req
1512. Tecothians!Copy !req
1513. For the Prince of Terrors!Copy !req
1514. Thank you, Frankelda,Copy !req

1531. Amazing!Copy !req
1532. - Are you…?

1533. You are… truth!Copy !req

1538. I love you!Copy !req
1539. I love you too, Frankelda.Copy !req
1540. And I don't really care what form I takeCopy !req
1541. as long as I can spend an eternity
with you.Copy !req
1542. Wait, what?Copy !req
1543. An… eternity like this?Copy !req
1544. That is all up to you now…Copy !req
1545. Up to me? Is it up to me afterCopy !req
1546. everything we've been through?Copy !req
1547. Of course you are the writer.Copy !req
1548. Well-I'm the writer of aCopy !req
1549. sad story.Copy !req
1550. Do you really feel that way?Copy !req
1551. Well, yes!Copy !req
1552. But… sadness can…Copy !req
1553. Come in different forms and shades.Copy !req
1554. A hundred authors can write the
same eventCopy !req
1555. and create a hundred different stories.Copy !req
1556. Is this how your story ends, Frankelda?Copy !req
1557. I refuse to let this be how our
story ends.Copy !req
1558. I don't care how bitter my situation is,Copy !req
1559. or how long my soul has endured
confinement,Copy !req
1560. because I am the master of my destiny!Copy !req
1561. I am the writer of my own life!Copy !req
1562. Then write me!Copy !req
1563. Let's live one more time!Copy !req
1564. Yes!Copy !req
1565. This…Copy !req
1566. Is the story of two realms so utterly
different, that they could resembleCopy !req
1567. each other. Two realms that do not
even exist for the numb consciousnesses.Copy !req
1568. Two realms so utterly different,
that they could resemble each other.Copy !req
1569. Two realms that do not even exist
for the numb consciousnesses.Copy !req
1570. - Two realms only visible to those who.
- Two realms only visible to those whoCopy !req
1571. - delve into their creativity-
- delve into their creativity-Copy !req
1572. guided by intuition.Copy !req
1573. Both realms are realCopy !req
1574. and they are linked by my quill.Copy !req
1575. My soul is ink,Copy !req
1576. and as long as I write.Copy !req
1577. I will never stop living.Copy !req
