  Summary

  Nightmare is on a solo journey to run away from home. He wants a quiet place where no one will bother him. But on the way, he meets 4 children in need of a new home and reluctantly takes care of them until he can find a safe place for them to stay.

  But tensions are high with kingdoms close to declaring war. Will he be able to get them the help they need and stay sane in the process? Is there a possibility these children will grow on him more than intended as they spend time together?
