'It's coming…'
Cesar felt crestfallen once he realized the incoming Nightmare was dashing toward them instead of waiting as it did earlier. Once he realized they were in a pinch, he couldn't help but shift his expression to the one he was piggybacking.
Erin was also stupefied but not entirely surprised since saying the True Name of the Nightmare was also the first for them, and the only thing they knew about it was that a Nightmare would have a certain 'effect' upon being mentioned from the other mouths.
It didn't mean this secret would make them instantly die.
"Bring it on!" Erin gritted his teeth before informing Quentin, his voice thrilled, "You continue watching the Nightmare! We're going to pass it with my power."
Cesar couldn't help but gulp since it would mean that he and the rest would have no choice but to meet the Nightmare in its way. Rerouting or changing their direction wouldn't matter anyway.
"Okay!"
