Damon, Gabriel, Amy and Alia A dark night. A sad start to a dark story. Damon's last night on earth. He tried to commit suicide, and was found by Cyrus. The dream lord brought the eighteen year old boy to the Dreamworld, to be in charge of nightmares. Damon was delighted. He cherished his dark power. His ability to create fear in the hearts of innocent dreamers, and in people who thought themselves to be so strong. And he found fear in the other dream weavers. He learned to look into their hearts and spin them in a web of fear. His twin brother, Gabriel, followed him into the Dreamworld. He believed that there was no place on earth left for him without his brother. So they became the terrible twins. One cold and charming, one reckless and sarcastic. Eventually, he and his brother pulled Rose and Winter into the dreamworld at random, to harass them. They trapped them in ice, and threw daggers at them. Damon was charmlingly deadly. Girls who dreamt of him didn't forget too easily. The dreamworld magic had wrapped him in a sinister glow. A look in his eyes left you speachless. It was easy to fall into his cold, obsidian eyes. When it was discovered that Rose and Winter were meant for higher things, the twins got in trouble with Cyrus. But they could not be stopped. The continued their reign over nightmares else where. It was about that time that Damon brought someone new into the Dreamworld. He thought she'd be harmless, but he was wrong. Her name was Alia. And she was a connection to the past, to the real world. Someone that threatened Damon and Gabriel's stable balance. But even more threatening was her sister. While Alia was in the dreamworld, she awakened old emotions in Gabriel, for Alia's sister Amy. Amy was Gabriel's nightmare. He and Damon had played with her, toyed with her emotions on earth. They pretended to be one person. Damon would be cruel to her, and Amy would be torn apart, then Gabriel would come in and act nice to her, and she'd forgive who she thought was one person. Amy went into a coma in the real world, soon after she appeared in the Dreamworld. But by then Gabriel had found Regina. The new Dream Queen. He had been the first to find her in the Dreamworld. And he had soon fallen in love with her. She was charming and beautiful. And he loved her dearly. Until Amy came back and threatened it all. Amy grew unstable and insane in her jealousy. While she tormented Gabriel, she was unaware that the other brother, Damon, was off facing his own nightmare. Damon's nightmare was his lonliness. He felt that there was truly no place for him, and that no one could ever love him. When the shadowlings came. Leir, Gabriel's evil double, fought with Gabriel with the life of Alia at stake. Gabriel managed to beat Leir, but Alia died anyway. This sent Amy into even more madness. She attacked Damon and Gabriel, but they restrained her as best they could. Damon was learning his powers as a Guardian, the Guardian of shadows. He was also his own Shadowling. Which meant he had to fight the darkness within him. With the guidance of the mysterious month children, May, June, and August, he learned his path. In one of the final battles, Amy became another victem. She died in the dreamworld and was sent back to earth, with her sister. Amy didn't remember the dreamworld and the sorrow that had happened there. And Alia didn't tell her. Not even about how Gabriel and Damon had apologized, and Gabriel had faced his nightmare. With the Shadowlings gone, so was the darkness inside Damon. But he still felt alone. Until he discovered his feelings for the dreamweaver Meg. The girl who infuriated him at first, truly meant so much to him. The time after the Shadowlings came was peaceful. So much was happening. It was like Spring, with couples blooming everywhere. Until one fateful day when Damon and Gabriel got trapped in an in-between place that they foolishly thought would be better than the Dreamworld or even Earth. They were wrong. And they got stuck there. August and the others helped Damon to realize that only he had the power to save himself. Eventually, the Twins both escaped and returned to their lives in Dreamweavers. Return to the character page Meg When Meg first entered the Dream World, she quickly met up with two of Rhianna's guides, who were lost in the woods. Through them, she met Rhianna and, subsequently, the rest of the dreamweavers. She was pleasantly surprised to encounter her old friend Chess, who had been transported to the Dream World after an attempted suicide and didn't yet remember much of her past. Meg, like all of the dreamweavers, had to face her nightmare, which was reliving a terrible day when she had failed in saving the life of a girl captured by a group of warriors. She later learned that this mystery "chocolate-eyes" girl was Amy, an old girlfriend of Gabriel's who had been tricked by the twin brothers and was carrying out her revenge on the dreamweavers. At the time of the shadowlings Meg was tortured by her own evil double, Miranda, who traveled both the Dream World and Real World impersonating Meg and doing terrible things in her name. Miranda was eventually killed with the other shadowlings. Damon always intrigued Meg and as she came to know him better, she began to challenge him, urge him to become a better person, which she was sure he was capable of. Damon was at first defensive of Meg's encouragement, but as time went on he came to respect Meg and, eventualy, to love her. And she loved him in return. They were just discovering these feelings when Damon was captured by an unknown force and held captive in an indefinable place. Meg was crushed after Damon's disappearance until she learned that he was still alive . . . .somewhere. She was encountered by the gentle November, who promised to help her find Damon. Meg's latest adventure was a reunion with her brother Sterus. She had heard of the infamous Warlord and stood up to him to defend the Dream World when he entered it. But Sterus realized that the determined warrior before him was his own sister and was forced to reconsider his entire lifestyle. He revealed to Meg their relationship and Meg was elated to find a brother she hadn't even known about. Damon eventually returned to the Dream World and, eventuallylearned to get along with Sterus. Return to the character page Sterus Sterus first arrived in the Dream World with his army, set to conquer it and force all its inhabitants into submission. But this wasn't as easy as he had planned. As soon as he arrived, he was confronted by an annoying girl who claimed to be a warrior and kept bothering him and trying to talk to him. She told him what he was doing was wrong and tried to convince him to leave peacefully. Sterus was rather surprised by this since most people ran the second they saw his face or heard his name and here this little nobody was trying to stand up to him. He decided she was crazy and tried to ignore her but she wouldn't leave him alone. When talking didn't work, the girl tried to fight him and she proved to be a skilled warrior. Sterus became more and more irritated and decided to kill her the next time he saw her. He was about to do this when, seeing a familiar expression in her eyes, he recognized her as his baby sister Margaret, whom he had not seen for sixteen years. Now he was suddenly plunged into uncertainty: all the justifications he had formed for his career and behavior were crushed when he recognized Meg, since she had obviously been through the same ordeal as he had and come out of it good and without anger. After much thought and consideration, Sterus dismissed his army, sending them off far away without a way of return and joined Meg to try to make amends for all the damage he'd caused over the years and find a new direction for his life. When Meg went to Cyrus's castle and Sterus was barred entrance, he left and went to break up a fight between Angel and Seth over Rhianna. Then she and Sterus talked for a while and eventually met up with Meg, Lark, and Miora. Sterus later met up with a mysterious boy, who refused to believe that Sterus meant the Dream World no harm. He didn't realize that the boy was Damon until they met again later and Meg introduced them. They eventually made peace. Return to the character page Chess For reasons not entirely stated, Chess contracted amnesia after her suicide attempt, and for the better part of millenia in the Dream World was a laughing fool who befriended most and annoyed even more. Then, during a fight with Cyrus, she was thrown into a nightmare that revealed to her the beginning of her life in the Dream World. She became convinced that Cyrus had saved her from the nothingness that she would have endured in her coma, and fell in love with him, later marrying him and becoming Lady. However, before they could even have a proper honeymoon, they were whisked into battle where she met her shadowling, Ssehc. Then, when the Guardians arrived, and Ellaria began wreaking havoc on the Dream World, she was killed along with Rhianna. Waking up again in the Real World, she did the only thing that would gain her certain access into the Dream World again: attempted to kill herself. Her plan succeeded, but it was not the Dream World that she was transferred to, but an in-between plane where she was compelled to decide her own fate: Return to the Real World, and cherish the memories of the dreams she'd had and of Cyrus, continue to the Dream World and forget anything that had happened since she remembered her life in the first place, or end her life as she had meant to so long before. Upon her return, Chess set off with Jacquelyn and Cyrus on an adventure across several islands. She was separted by them, however, by an odd set of twins who pulled her out of the water and rowed her off into the unknown. After a long and colorful adventure involving a tribe of natives, a volcano, and some innovative thinking on all their parts, Chess, Jacquelyn and Cyrus returned to the Dreamworld, where she continued her memoriless existence. Return to the character page Raoul Raoul has been in the Dreamworld a shorter period of time than anybody else has, but he is ultimately special. At first he only accomplished being a powerful nuisance and raising a ruckus, but he learned to adjust to the new living conditions and control his Gurdian powers. His biggest challenge was facing his past as a living human being, and coming to grips with what he did to the harmlessGuardian of Fear, Loki. Upon reliving the story of the tragedy as it happened, Raoul was granted his fat: a cursed black Obsidian dagger with Arabic Writing on the handle. The knife drove him mad and he killed himself with it, but was aided by Loki, who saved his life. Raoul knows little of what happened after his resuscitation. All he knows is that he had a strange dream where an eerie presence referred to as "Nidawan" spoke to him about 'becoming his full potential.' When Raoul awoke from this dream, he had been transformed into a large dragon with magik powers: A Dragon Mage. Loki and he were now connected in a way they didn't come to understand, for a long time. Return to the character page
