In a small town lived a man who had been haunted by the same nightmare for years. The nightmare was so vivid, it felt real.

One night, his nightmare came to life. Darkmare, his monstrous nightmare, stood before him in his living room, looming over him with piercing red eyes.

The man fled his home, with Darkmare in pursuit. He found himself in a nearby forest, his heart pounding in his chest.

Suddenly, a woman stepped out from behind a tree. It was Darkmare's sister, who unlike her brother, appeared human and calm.

"Why are you running?" she asked. The man stammered, pointing at the direction from where he had run.

Darkmare emerged from the shadows, and the sister confronted him. She demanded to know why Darkmare was terrorizing the man.

Darkmare growled, revealing that the man's fear gave him strength. His sister, horrified, stood her ground, vowing to protect the man.

The man, inspired by her bravery, decided to face his fears. He turned to Darkmare, his eyes no longer reflecting fear but determination.

Darkmare roared, lunging at the man. But to his surprise, the man didn't flinch. He stood his ground, staring back at Darkmare.

Darkmare's roar turned into a whimper as he began to shrink, his form losing its monstrous figure. His sister watched in awe as fear turned into courage.

The man thanked Darkmare's sister for her help. She smiled, revealing that she was only there to guide him to face his fears.

The man walked back home, free from the nightmare that had haunted him. He knew Darkmare would not bother him again, for he had conquered his fears.
