Chereads / I Inherited A Dream System / Chapter 54 - Sibling Bonding

Chapter 54 - Sibling Bonding

Emily Gravestone, younger sister to Silas Gravestone, lays on the bed of her gothic styled room, reading a book titled, Exploring The Dark Arts. The skull themed decor and low intensity ambient lighting, makes the room very calming and relaxing, at least to Emily.

As she continues to read her book, her brother suddenly barges into the room, ruining the peace and quiet.

Silas Gravestone: Where were you today?! You missed training again! (Silas yells in anger)

Emily doesn't even turn to acknowledge his presence, she simply tries to ignore him. But Silas Gravestone, will not be ignored.

Silas Gravestone: Answer me when I'm talking to you! (Silas yells)

Emily Gravestone: Can't you knock? (Emily asks him coldly)

Silas Gravestone: Can't you understand responsibility?! (Silas snaps back)

Emily Gravestone: I am not interested in practicing with your little glee club. (Emily tells him)

Silas Gravestone: Glee Club?! We are preparing ourselves for the end of the world! If you're not strong enough when that happens, then you'll be...

"I will be strong enough!" (Emily yells, getting up from her bed in anger)... I will get stronger on my own! I don't need you, I don't need Harry, and I don't need that monster pretending to be our grandfather! (Emily yells, staring down Silas)

Silas Gravestone: Lower your voice. (Silas tells her)

Emily Gravestone: Or what?! (Emily growls, her eyes now glowing red)

(Knock, Knock)

"The food is ready, Young Masters. You may now go to the dining room." (Harry tells them from the door, even though it was wide open)

Silas Gravestone: Thanks, Harry. (Silas says as he walks past Harry, leaving the room)

Emily Gravestone: Thanks. (Emily says as she leaves the room as well)

The two now sit at a large dining table, sitting far across from one another. The dining table is filled with many delicacies, too much for the two of them to ever finish in one sitting. And standing close by, are two lovely looking maids.

Silas Gravestone: Inspect. (Silas quietly said)

[Inspect]

[Name: Emily Gravestone]

[Race: Human (Dream Demon)]

[Title: Nightmare Tamer]

[Level: 9]

[Skills: Queen Of Nightmares]

Emily Gravestone: How many times have I told you not to do that? (Emily asks him, anger crossing her face)

Silas Gravestone: Do what? (Silas asks, trying to pretend he doesn't know what she is talking about)

Emily Gravestone: Stop checking my stats, Silas! (Emily yells)

Silas Gravestone: Okay, okay! But you actually surprised me, you've really improved. But you might have evolved by now if you were training with me. (Silas tells her)

Emily Gravestone: You have your way of doing things, and I have mine. Let's keep it that way. (Emily tells him)

Silas Gravestone: Fine, whatever you're doing seems to be working, so I'm not going to bother you to join us in training. But please, don't slack off. (Silas tells her)

Emily Gravestone: I never slack off. (Emily says before taking a bite of her food)

Silas Gravestone: (Chuckles) After this, let's go somewhere. There's a place I want to show you, and I think you're gonna like it. (Silas tells her with a smile)

Emily Gravestone: Sure. (Emily replied nonchalantly)

 A short while later the two siblings find themselves in a tower, overlooking the colourful kingdom down below.

Silas Gravestone: So, what do you think? (Silas asks, a smile on his face as he expected Emily's answer)

Emily Gravestone: What the hell is this? (Emily asks, a look of disgust and anger on her face)

 

 Below them is a colourful kingdom, inhabited by human sized teddy bear people, who were all singing and dancing like in a kid's cartoon.

 "La, de, da! I love friendship!" (A bear yells)

 "Hey, me too!" (Another one replied)

 The colourful displays of love and friendship makes Emily feel sick to her stomach, not to talk of the annoying singing.

Emily Gravestone: Is this a nightmare?! Is this hell?! (Emily asks in dread)

Silas Gravestone: Nope, it's just a weird dream domain I found! You'd think that this was created by a kid's dream, but based on how sophisticated the structures are, this is most likely a young adult's dream. Pretty weird huh? (Silas asks, finding all of this intriguing)

 Emily does not respond, she simply held out her hand, and energy begins to course through it.

Emily Gravestone: Annabelle, destroy everything! Leave nothing standing! (Emily commanded, her eyes now burning red with power)

 A swarm of rats begin to pour out of the tower, quickly spreading across the entire kingdom, and devouring everything in their path. The cartoon bears scream as their fluff filled bodies are ripped apart by the rats, leaving nothing left but destruction and death.

Emily Gravestone: (Relieved Sigh) Much better. (Emily smiles as she takes a moment to enjoy the chaos she created)... That was fun, let's do this again sometime. (Emily tells him with a smile as she walks away, heading towards a red portal)

Silas Gravestone: I was going to corrupt this domain. You didn't have to destroy it. (Silas tells her, shocked by her actions)

Emily Gravestone: Come on, you can do better than this. Whose gonna fear you when you're attacking them with creepy teddy bears? (Emily tells him before walking into the portal)

Silas Gravestone: I guess you're right. You still didn't have to destroy it though. (Silas says as he follows her into the portal, which closes shortly afterwards)

 The Domain of the teddy bear people begins to break apart, and soon it is completely destroyed. Replaced by a rocky, almost alien looking landscape.
