"Now the hour has come at last. The soft and fading light has crossed the west horizon and has bidden us goodnight." Virgil walked towards the castle garden. He was the only one awake in the castle, as he was the one who ruled the night. "And what a lovely night it is to walk in a moonlit field, to see the softer shades that are by starlight now revealed..."

He sighed and made his way back to the castle. He entered and roamed the halls. Moonlight glowing from the windows. "So why is it now, when all is quiet and at rest, when all candles glow and all the world is at its very best, the people of Imagination should lock themselves away? To shun the moon and wait instead for Brothers sunny Day?"

He entered his throne room and stood near an open window. The moonlight filled the room. "Am I so wrong that they would see things like I do? Am I so wrong to think that they might love me too? Why shouldn't they adore me? Is it not within my right?"

His magic made illusions of his brother and the people of their kingdom. Virgil growled and made the illusion disappear into purple smoke. "I'll not be overshadowed! Mine is not the lesser light. I've waited long enough now for them to come around and though the Sunday please and threaten, the Moon will stand his ground!"

He used his magic to make the crescent moon into a full moon. The sky turned red from the result. "It comes to this at last: I no longer yield the sky. If they cannot love but one prince alone. See, the Moon is rising. He has come to claim the heavens for his own!"

He floated in the air due to over powered magic. Virgil's eyes began to glow purple as he smiled widely. "And all will know the wonder of my dark and heeled sky. When all the world is wrapped in an eternal lullaby!"

The castle started turning the colors of Virgil's prince outfit. The purples and blacks made it look like the nighttime sky.

Virgil walked towards his throne, the evil taking over his body. "So say goodnight to this, the final setting of the sun, tomorrow dawns in darkness;the nighttime has begun!"

Virgil became Nightmare Virgil. The poor boy was now evil and had no control over his own body.
