Nightmares and Maddess. Out of the domains for Niklausto feel connected to, it was the two that he should have hated and yet- Niklaus felt nothing but power running through his veins. Leaves crunched under the young man's feet as he walked through the tall, imposing trees of the island. He could feel it, the impulse to lean into those nightmares. That fear in someone's eyes that he could practically taste on his tongue the moment he saw it.
The long shadows of the imposing trees seemed to stretch and wrap around his feet as he walked. It was always easier at night- perhaps because so many of his fellow demi-gods were lost in dreams. He could feel his body already starting to change. His smile grew wider and wider as his hand reached out to lean against the tree, and he could feel himself getting taller, broader with every passing moment. The sound of a tree snapping in two as several long, black, tentacles suddenly slithered out of Nicholas's back to crack it down the middle.
For the moment, he still looked mostly human, though with every passing moment, he seemed to be gaining more and more monstrous. As if an eight-foot giant version of the young man with tentacles squirming out of his back wasn't nightmareish enough.
His head snaps over towards a spot in the darkness of the woods.
He can tell somewhere was there.
Waiting.
Watching.
"You know that's fucking rude, right?"
Niklaus' jaw seemed to extend further than it should, almost dislocating entirely.as it dropped down as his usual deep brown eyes were instead endless, deep red voids. Even his words came out twisted, sounding both far too distant and yet feeling like it was coming from the back of your mind. It held this vibration that could send a shiver down your spine.
