A search often implied that the surroundings were not so forthcoming. All things considered, Potemkin was going to have an easy job of tracking down the source of the disturbances -- while there was no visual data, the sky had abruptly seemed to sink into nighttime as Potemkin was dropped in, which was an instantly worrying sign.

The Nightmare Knight had only recently been summoned - and he had little interest in helping his would-be benefactor. The summons weren't to Dreamside, but through a different source that subverted his seal - so he had no Disaster Masters to accompany him.

Maybe he ought to create more, his new 'master' had suggested, but he was quickly set straight.

For the moment, the Nightmare Knight had settled into the stylistic, even if somewhat tacky castle. They hadn't yet committed to any sort of conquest - the spikes of magical energy were mainly partially the Nightmare Knight's own forays into the outside world, scanning what existed.

Where Potemkin had dropped in, he wasn't quite to the castle - but then, the looming dark stars over it likely told him the right direction.
