No room for Nightmares

Oath wandered through the night, his mauve coat glowing vibrantly under the silver light of the moon. The restless energy that had driven him from his den now guided his steps through the quiet forest. As he moved, the sound of a soft, sorrowful song, reached his ears, and he froze, his heart skipping a beat. That voice- those words- it was hauntingly familiar, filled with a sadness that tugged deep at his soul.

Following the melody, Oath found himself at the edge of a small clearing where a lone figure sat beneath a towering cedar tree. The sight of her, the way the moonlight touched her fur, sent a jolt of recognition through him. Atreyu. His sister, whom he hadn't seen in almost a year.

For a moment, he could only watch her, tears shimmering in her eyes as she sang the words of a lullaby that once brought them comfort. Unable to bear the sorrow in her voice any longer, Oath stepped forward with grace, his own voice joining hers as he sang the next verse, the words flowing freely from his heart:

"When the night is dark, and shadows grow,
Let the wind carry your fears below..."

As he sang, his voice was soft yet filled with emotion while he moved closer to her, the distance between them closing with each step. He wondered how she might react to his presence, and he could not hold back the tears welling within his own eyes as he watched her.
