Author's Notes:

Ok, I'm sorry to whoever is actually still waiting for this story, but I'm most likely never gonna finish this properly. And I'm wanting to move on and start new, shorter and better stories.

Again, I'm really sorry about finishing it like this, but it's the only way I can see myself giving it some kind of closure.

Thank you to anyone who has read up to this point, but this is where this story, and most likely the rest of the Nightmare-verse ends.

Symbol

So...the past few weeks have been pretty...eventful.

First off, the wedding. It strated off alright I suppose, had a great time while until the Nightmares and Xram attacked with a huge fucking flying whale with huge eyeballs all over its body. The fight was pretty brutal, ended up having to fuse with Epidemic to form Symbolic to finish the whale off. After that, we tried getting the wedding back in track, Auldin and Twilight were married, everyone took to the dance floor and I invited Ashley over for a dance. During a romantic song, she confessed her love to me with my real name accidentally, unintentionally blowing my cover as everyone turned to look at us. Ran like hell.

So yeah, that caused me to both nearly have a heart attack and be completely confused about a lot of things.

Me and Ashley talked more about the confession, and honestly I did have feelings for her, I just didn't understand what they were and still needed some time. For awhile things were normal, other than having Marx and Epidemic show up now and again, even my father and mother showed up. That was an awkward conversation...

Anyway, then there was the final battle.

Xram had escaped his prison, the Nightmares attacked our worlds full force and I finally came face to face with the Nightmare King. I tried to kill Xram with all of my power, but it wasn't enough, Plague and Amnesia started to take him on (can't go into detail because of spoilers for other stories that aren't mine) so I focused on the Nightmares. I fused with Ashley, Symph, and his girlfriend Zerlinda, who happened to be the Princess of the Nightmares turned good, and together we killed off the Nightmares and helped to defeat Xram...but with a few casualties...

There would have been more of us dead, but a girl from the future had warned us about a trap set by Xram, so most of us got out alive.

Still trying to find who keeps fucking up the timeline, but Roden is taking care of that.

Right now, I'm focusing on finally having a peaceful life with my son, my displaced, and my friend turned lover Ashley.

Ashley is doing fine, I finally managed to find her brother and helped them reunite.

Ashley and I are happy, we're taking things a bit slow, although she tried to speed things along one night, which was both sexy and adorable since she failed at being sultry. Heh, she can be such a goof.

All in all, things turned out alright. Forge is still trapped in that broken world, but he's not gonna be a problem even if he breaks out. He just wanted his own body back, and since that was destroyed when I died, there's no real reason for him to fight us now. He'll be released when Lisa's friend finds the last shards of her worlds portal.

Things are peaceful for the first time in my life. No bad guys to kill, no world ending disasters. We can have somewhat of a normal life now.

And you know what? That's fine by us.
