A long, long time ago, there lived a small boy in a far away village. The boy loved to dream, Every night he went to bed another adventure will be awaiting him. One night as he closed his eyes to enter the land of dreams for a fascinating adventure but instead a horrible nightmare woke him up with a scream. He had the same nightmare for days now and could not fall asleep. One day, he finally decided to meet the evil witch of dreams, as he walked up the stairs that led to the wtich's house, it was pitch black all around him; the only thing he could fell was the smoke that sorrounded him as he took the last step, his heart was thumping out of his chest; he was also covered in cold sweat, took very last bit of courage he had and asked the witch who was busy making a nightmare.

The boy asked ",miss, can you stop giving me nightmares and instead i will do anything for you",

the wtich turned and stared into the boy's eyes asking", anyhting??",

",yes, anything........i will do anything", the boy replied shaking in fear.

The witch noded and handed him a purple colored potion which smelled like cabbage and told him to drink every last drop of it. The boy finished the drink and went back home wishing for a magical dream at night when he went to bed and instead an exciting adventure had replaced the terrible nightmare.

Yeras went by and the boy became an adult. He no more had nightmares but he was never truly happy about anything. One night, blood moon had taken capture of the sky as the boy looked out the window. The witch had finally returned for what he had promised her but the boy started to shouted at her with aggression and and said that even though she had taken the nightmares away, he was never truly happy.

The evil witch kept quite and replied", a person can be truly happy when they have bad memories in their hearts, only then can they overcome it and truly be happy",

the boy kept quite as tears of regret rolled down his cheeks, The witch took her wand and tapped it on the boy's head and took the boy's soul to be her slave for entire eternity.
