once upon a time there was dream and there was despair who lived together in the faraway woods. they knew each other from small and grew up together. both needed each other to balanced out their flaws. when dream starts to overdo her dreams, despair would come and bring her back to reality. on the other hand when despair starts to feel upset and starts to think negatively, dream would give the encouragement he always needed. they were both happy with their condition and thought that this is how it was meant to be for them.
several moons have passed and both realized that as they grow older they hurt each other more than they cure. however neither one of them brought up the subject as they feel that if anything would ever to happen, they wouldn't be able to live without the other. day by day they keep on hurting each other until one day despair decided that he couldn't keep giving despair to dream and shatter all her dreams. but the cruel thing about despair was that he didn't bid farewell when he left. as soon as he made the decision, he ran as fast as he could. all he had in mind was that if he doesn't do it right away he would never do it and continue to hurt both himself and dream.
the next morning when dream woke up, she had the weirdest dream and wanted to share with despair as she always had but alas there was no sight of him. she searched and searched the whole woods while calling out his name but nobody answered. at last she gave up and sat down in despair. she noticed that it was the first time that she felt despair without despair being around her.
since the incident dream had forgotten how to dream. each night she would fall asleep after crying her heart out and wake up the next morning feeling empty. that was how it went for several moons.
one fine day, dream decided to take a stroll by the lake. she thought to herself that life must go on and perhaps the beautiful scenery would calm and help her dream again. and so she was walking down the path when she saw from afar a silhouette by the lakeside. she walked ahead and tap the person's shoulder.
'well hello there! i'm hope. nice to meet you'
and the rest was history.
