Nightmares Reimagined

[Nox]

Nox relaxed in to the familiar form stretching his aching muscles, feeling the pull in his lower back. He laughed at the presumption of Kings and gods. "You are no more king than I am a god." Nox said into the ground below with a deep breath to follow and a slow exhale before he sat on his heels and looked up at the demonscaped dream before him. "We are just men with a power. I don't know you. You don't know me. But you are just a man with a gift. And if you aren't a man you are a monster. Monsters who prey on innocents don't live long around me." He gave the demon a smile. "I didn't ask to be here. I didn't ask to be your subject. I want to sleep in peace to dream of nothing."

"Why him?" Nox asked again.
