   Summary

   What if, when the apple incident occurred, instead of killing all the villagers, they got the jump on Nightmare? They manage to knock him out, and he’s caged and carted away, never to be seen again. What happens to Dream when he’s left at the mercy of the villagers when there’s no longer any golden apples or tree? What happens to Nightmare when he’s taken away like a rabid dog to be put down?
