Passive Nightmare

Hello again stars!! This is a request from "bed_". Passive Nightmare is just basically Nightmare before he turned all... goopy and full of negativity. He's a shy little skele-dude and his brother is Dream. Basically how the entire thing started was that Nightmare and Dream were protectors of the "Tree of Feelings". The two brothers had a side each. Dream had the positive side while Nightmare had the negative side. The Tree was in the middle of nowhere... until a village built around it. Dream, excited to meet new friends, rushed off. Leaving Nightmare to himself. But he liked the quiet, unlike his brother. However... poor Nightmare always got the short end of the stick. He was often bullied by the other monsters in the village. Dream tried to help him but Nightmare felt that his brother's positivity was... fake. Later on, he wanted to prove himself worthy of being a guardian of the tree. So he took an apple from Dream's side, which turned black. The villagers, including Dream, were not all too happy with Nightmare. So. Out of desperation, Nightmare ate every apple from that Tree. Having so much negativity, he basically turned to goop. Dream, in attempt to save his brother, tried to talk to him. But Nightmare only attacked. Large tendrils wrapping around Dream. He escaped... unfortunately the villagers didn't have the same fate. Leaving him looking like how we recognize him today. But! This is before that! And maybe you could advert that from ever happening. Who knows? Anyway, Nightmare is sitting under the shade of the Tree. It's bright green leaves rustling in the wind as it played through the summer afternoon. Our little skeleton was reading a book under the protection and tranquility of what the Tree gave him. Finally, he thought, some peace... until.. THWACK! A pebble was thrown at him. he looked up to see his usual tormentors. Bigger, stronger monster children. ell, at least stronger than what Nightmare thought of himself. What will you do!?
