Redefining Expectations-Insomnia Sequel

Nightmare's POV

I walk through the portal, finding a large room full of tapestries around me. I see various colors of threads connecting the tapestries yet a majority of the figures depicted in the pattern-filled tapestries are faceless...Then I see a shining tapestry raised high and connected to Mom's tapestry with a green string. This bright tapestry is titled Positivity, depicting Dream with his crown and spear along with his wings. His eyes have doubled, all glowing a bright yellow and he has another set of arms. One holds his spear, another holds a few blue threads dangling, a third is a tight fist while the fourth hand is open and raised with a few souls hovering above it. The threads dangle lower to a depiction of me and Error, tied to our wrists as we are shielded beneath his wings. I am depicted with my tentacles and a bright crown resting on my head, yet also my eyes are visible and there's a detail of a small smile. For once I don't look like a sinister monster. Instead of just goop depicting my body, the depiction shows me with purple clothes similar to my old self....Making me seem more like a person than an abomination...I shouldn't be too surprised by Dream's tapestry that details indicating my existence as a brother...giving me a soul instead of making me seem like a soulless monster...Error's depiction is just as flattering or loving. Instead of a faceless "glitch" or just a destroyer, a lot of care is given to depicting his face with his eyes behind his glasses and his smile. His long blue scarf wraps around his neck and instead of the strings around his fingers trapping souls, he is depicted to be making a puppet. Obviously, a lot of care was taken into this tapestry to make us people, not just roles.

I stare in awe at the large tapestry, seeing what he has been shown to become. Not only is he alive, but he has changed drastically once joining their ranks. If he is as big as he is shown in this tapestry, then he is at a minimum a dozen times bigger than me and we're probably small enough to fit in his hands. I feel a large wave of relief wash over me as I see that he is okay and that Fate indeed has no influence over him. Red strings try to reach his tapestry but get repelled. Fate's tapestry is shrinking in the corner near the ceiling as the number of the tapestries with red strings seems to be rapidly shrinking. Then I notice the golden threads connecting between Dream's tapestry and Mom's tapestry as they intertwine with Mom's green threads. Mom's threads connect to his tapestry and Obscuro's. Then from Dream's tapestry, the golden thread connects to my tapestry and Error's tapestry. I guess that indicates that he has selected us. I see a similar depiction for me in my tapestry as I was shown in Dream's tapestry, except in mine I had my castle behind me and moons in the corners. A similar case was for Error as he was depicted surrounded by puppets and his brother. Then I notice a key detail about our tapestries. Instead of my tapestry being labeled Negativity, there's a silver, twinkling stitching of my name in big letters at the bottom. Instead of Destruction, Error's is labeled in bold blue letters forming his name. He...gave us our names...on our tapestries...

"Oh yes, he was set on making sure those names stay. Whenever we interact with him, he refuses to hear you referred to by your title or role and the same goes for Des-Error. He wants your names to be spoken and has made it clear that you're all entirely under his protection. Nobody can touch you or him. From the moment that he was transferred here, he has hit the ground running and has been trying to work hard. Doing what I don't completely know when it isn't focused on these tapestries or Fate. He seems to be trying to eliminate Fate's influence, specifically with you or Error. We're responsible for various multiverses so he has been trying to eliminate Fate's influence on the versions of you in those worlds. Other than that, he keeps his plans to himself."Destiny tells me

I glance around, then take out my phone and snap a picture of the tapestries. I glance up to where Destiny's voice is.

"Is that really what my brother looks like?"
