The Nomad Chronicles

[I]abridged[/I]

WAKE UP MOTHERFUCKER

I am slapped awake by Lobo. WHAT THE FUCK? MoSh?

Get up! This is a dream. We've got shit to do.

We get on his motorcycle, and drive through a wormhole. The dream explodes, and there are many motorcycle adventure and battle scenes.

I focus on one.

We're in Club Nexus. He looks like Lobo, and I look like a giant black panther-man.

I'm MoSh's Shadow Self. See, he's a pussy, and-

That's pretty rude.

YOU DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO, I DON'T GIVE A SHIT WHAT YOU OR ANYONE ELSE THINKS!

He grabs my throat and slams me against the wall. A big demon bouncer grabs us, and teleports us out.

It doesn't even hurt, man. This is a dream.

I know.

He lets me go.

Hey, let's go wake my other self up... Maybe we can merge or something. I am going to explode that motherfucker into me.

Maybe that's not a good idea.

Lobo MoSh makes a portal and then whips his chain around my ankle, dragging me with him into the astral.

Hey... Look there he is.

I freak out for a second on how real everything looks.

Now, I look like a whitish ghost version of myself, and his Shadow Self looks like a standing blurry shadow. He is sleeping near a sliding glass window with a yard outside. But, every time I go into the astral, it's always this bedroom. WTF.

Hey, wake up!

I see MoSh's astral body sit on the edge of his bed.

Oh, hey, Nomad... Hey, me... WHAT THE FUCK THIS IS FUCKED UP. I AM DREAMING. OK....

He points his finger at both of us. I hear Data mumbling something about real energy and the astral plane.

MoSh says something about us being annoying inorganic beings.

The Shadow Self grabs MoSh by the throat. He grabs his shadow's hand, and morphs into a huge winged cobra. The Shadow morphs into Lobo.

That's more like it!

They look totally realistic.

Suddenly, we are on the dream plane, and they are fighting in a river, then at the gates of heaven, and then in Hell. They smash into each other and go supernova.

MoSh starts talking about how all knowledge is nothing, because we can never grasp the infinite. Grasping the infinite is like counting to infinity. Then he says it can be done, it just takes forever.

Then, we are little werecat cubs playing in a grassy meadow, then humans riding a wagon down a hill, then a sled....

I am on the Moon with don Juan.

Stop trying to perceive all things. Just focus on the one most important dream. Now you know you dream many dreams at once. Focus your energy on the dream you want to be in the most.

I am in the desert with don Juan. He gives me a cactus slice to eat. I eat it. The dream explodes. I scream. I focus on a star, on a planet, mountain, plant, beetle, virus, molecule, atom, electron...

[I]So I woke up at 2:22 again for the second time this week.[/I]

My aunt tells me: (I see her do this as she tells me.)

I just got in from being outside in the desert... I offered of up the seeds of greatness to the wind gods in remembrance of Bobby.

I see my aunt in her wheelchair, looking tortured and heartbroken over the death of her son. She has wheeled herself about 15 feet into the desert off the dirt road from our old house in Tucson. She tosses little brown seeds into the air, and they get carried away by the wind.

****

[I]I had a dream of the seeds earlier.[/I]

Seeds are flying through the sky, and land on mountains surrounding a valley. Each one becomes a beautiful flower, and grass grows around it, as if water actually flows out of the flower. Each flower becomes a tree, then, a huge banyan tree with water gushing out of it.

Bobby pokes his head out of the top of it, and waves at me, grinning.

[I]abridged[/I]

I am Deathgawn, the devil-man. I am standing on Mars, surveying my surroundings. Q10 stands next to me. I raise my arms, and he and I create a demonic castle rising up from the ground. It is covered in spikes, and red soil is mounded up next to it. Crab-like legs unfurl from under the castle, and it moves. Then, jets shoot out and it hovers.

The front gate opens like a mouth, and thousands of bats swarm out. A few hundred land on my body, and flying, carry me to the front castle wall, then release me. I see there is a control panel to drive the castle.

I surround the castle with tiny stars and black holes.

I declare war on the Templars of Urth!

Strange dark beings come to my castle, and pledge to fight with me.

I get up out of bed, and walk downstairs to the bathroom... wait it's upstairs... I have to pee! No, I don't. For some reason, I touch my crotch, and I don't have my man parts...

OH SHIT.

Wait.... this is a dream. right... ok... I am just going to walk around and touch things.

Things feel so realistic, I start to lose lucidity.

THIS IS A DREAM THIS IS A DREAM, DAMMIT.

I sit down on the couch.

I am sitting in my dream. I am going to stay here. I am... sleepy...

I fall asleep (in my dream.)

DOH!

I fall out of a portal... on to a familiar looking plain at the edge of a forest. There is a castle in front of me. On the drawbridge are a bunch of cheesy DC shadow ogres. They grimace at me. I step forward, and slicing them all in half with a finger laser shout: NONE OF YOU ARE REAL.

I leap over the wall, and land in the courtyard. There is a tower I must climb. I stick my ninja fist thingies in the wall and climb up, and into a window.

There is a beautiful blond girl waiting there. It's Angel. Oh, I dyed my hair for this adventure.

Xaphor pokes his head in the window.

"But first you must defeat me!"

I close the blind on his head, and kiss my hot girlfriend.

There was something about gold or treasure? Rumpelstiltskin?

A red devil-boy appears and says, "No, that's not how you do it!"

I shrug, and kiss Angel some more.

I float up out of bed, in my dark energy demon form, Deathgawn. I gaze down at the dark portal on my chest, and grin at my two dragons on my shoulders Rainstorm, and Skyfire. I open a portal to the Moon, stand on a silvery hover disk, and shoot a grappling hook down the wormhole. I feel it stick, and slingshot through the wormhole. I let go of the cable, and come flying out of the portal. screaming in to the gate of the Biodome, skimming the surface of the koi pond, and landing in front of Raven.

"Show off," she teases.

I stick out my arms, and mech armor flies out of nowhere, and sticks to my body.

"Are you quite done yet?" she says, rolling her eyes,

NOTES

I thought i would have time to write the whole thing out... oh well...

-invading all the houses with dogs in stacked cages

-we are two dog gods in mecha police armor, we set all the dogs free

-we go into the astral, then find people on the physical

-we make them have nightmares of them being forced to kill other humans or die

I am at Club Nexus at the center of the Universe in the bathroom. I am puking all over the floor. I stand up and look at myself in the mirror. I am a huge red demon, then I change to skin that is black as coal with a purplish tint. WTF.

MoSh walks in. He looks like fuckin LOBO. WTF.

"Dude, are you okay?"

He hands me some water. I knock it away rudely. "I'm fine."

He charges at me, and we get into a fight. We get teleported out of the Club.

"ASSHOLES!" We both yell at the club from Outer Space.

We sit on an asteroid, smoking cigarettes. "Shit. I can't smoke this."

It's a dream.

Oh, yeah.

"Well, what the fuck man."

"Dude, I looked in the mirror, and all my Deathgawn memories came flooding back to me, like I was re-dreaming them."

"And who the fuck is that?"

My demon self.

Okay... Do I have a demon self?

Maybe. I don't really know man. All I know is, I WANT TO KICK SOME ASS.

On cue, a portal opens behind me, and a silver armored hand yanks me through.

I am alone in a huge temple that looks like it's carved out of a mountain. Sunlight pours in from holes in the ceiling about a hundred feet high.

I walk down the temple to a huge statue.

It's a Templar with a bloody red cross on his chest. The statue comes to life.

I AM THE TEMPLAR GOD! I AM BAPHOMET!

He changes into Baphomet.

"Hey, fuck you, Nevergawn. I know all about you and your shady tactics. I am the god of this world now. We all are!"

"NO! YOU ARE ALL INFERIOR TO ME!"

I roar, and rush at him. I grab his left foot, and rip it off, tossing it into a black hole in my chest.

"You asshole!"

I become huge, and smoosh Baphomet into a little ball. He gets pissed and tries to escape. I cover his body with part of my Witchblade, trapping him in a silver sphere.

***

I make a portal in front of me to the Templars' castle on Earth. I end up underneath it, in a dark tunnel. I hear Baphomet, wriggling and cursing me. MMPH!

A little metal bug on my back unfolds itself, and becomes mech armor. I have two huge spikes, one on each hand. I start bashing the walls. I feel the castle shake.

"I AM HERE, BITCHES! THE CHILDREN OF GAWN THIRST FOR REVENGE!"

I teleport through all the floors. I run through the templars, slicing them up. I rectract my claws, and wield two vibro-blades. The Templars do everything they can to attack me. They are a fucking joke.

I suck them into my chest portal, and laugh. They flee the castle, then lay siege to it. I make a bunch of copies of myself, and laugh.

I show them that I have Baphomet captive. They shit their pants.

SHIT SHIT SHIT HE'S GOING TO BE SO PISSED.... AH... DO WE RESCUE HIM?

I have a better idea!

I summon a catapult, and launch him over the wall, retracting my Witchblade as I do it. He opens his wings, as a net opens behind him made of my symbiote. He angrily exudes dark energy, which my symbiote gladly absorbs.

"Have fun with your "god" bitches!" I laugh.

I put jets on the bottom of the castle, and it flies into the sky.

"Oh, and thanks for the castle!" Selene makes a huge portal overhead, and I teleport the entire castle... to MARS.

"Ah, what an appropriate planet for me to create a platform in which to launch my war against the Templars. Q10!"

"Yes brother?"

"We need defenses around this dream fortress."

"Well, my 'lord' defense systems are already in place, but obviously a little weak.... let me just tweak this..."

Q10 summons Data, and Stephanie, the Biodome AI. They help me reinforce my Martian Devil Castle.

(to be cont'd)

We go through the portal, and are smack dab in the middle of a huge battle, hundreds of feet in the air.

It's... us? WTF? We see ourselves fighting this massive goblin and orc army. But, are we in a past dream?

I have dreamt this dream before... I see myself in Nomad form, with my moonblade, then, I become a summoner, and summon an army of summoners... I see MoSh is a Naga. Raven is Queen of Night. Selene is running through the enemy... a white streak... and there are an army of werewolves on our side. Silverwolf is cackling madly, giving them directions. She turns into a wolf and joins the fray.

Fuck it. Let's kick some ass!

A goblin get tossed through the air, and is tumbling toward Tigress. She slices him in half, and the two halves freeze in midair. We laugh at this.

"Fuck a sword," Tigress says. She forms two spiked ice gloves, turns into a huge weretiger, and jumps into the battle. Every enemy she punches freezes, and is covered in frost.

Pixy is shooting thorny vines at the enemy, tossing them around, and ripping off their hands, feet, and heads.

I get hit in the back of the head...

[I]missing time[/I]

I am in the Healing Glen on my back. Everyone is looking down at me.

"Those Templar bastards got you good."

The Templars?

"Yeah... for some reason, we ended up in a past dream. I think it had to do with your clock thing... And anyway, the Templars followed us into it, and hit you in the back of your head, and you went unconscious. But, Selene from the past saw it happen. She kicked their asses, and tossed them into a portal, then we brought you here."

"Sorry, Nomad. It's my fault. I jeopardized us all in my eagerness... or greed."

"Uh, no. I'm fine. Tigress this is a dream."

"But, your dream body got hurt."

"Nonsense!" I try to stand, but feel woozy.

"See!"

"Oh, it has nothing to do with you. It was a fun adventure. I'm fine. We're all going to be fine..."

Then, I remember my energy bar. Oh yeah. I hungrily eat the whole thing. Raven hands me a glass of water. I pop up like toast. Everyone plays music, and parasites crawl out of my dream body, and are eaten up by frogs, toads, grass crabs, and sparrows.

"I feel 100% better!"

"You better wake up and write this dream down, Nomad!" says Raven.

"You haven't told me that in a long time."

"I know, but this dream was so long. I guess seeing that past dream reminded me of how I used to always tell you that."

We have a group hug, and the dream fades to white...

I am in a White Void... a small flickering orange flame....

I chant OM MANI PADME HUM...

I hear Morpheus' hollow laughter....

"Everything you see here is created by me..."

I wake up, and forget the dream, then remember it later.

Tigress asks Silverwolf to come on the adventure. Silverwolf says she's too busy making all her recipes and concoctions, plus she doesn't really like to fight. Tigress insists Silverwolf is a great fighter. Silver just looks at her, and kisses her, and puts something in Tigress's pocket.

Silverwolf tells us to try the energy bars. I feel a rush of power, and a renewed energy. I feel like this dream could last for hours, or even days, at the same time, I feel calmer. I then notice everyone has a soft blue light coming out of their eyes, mouth, nose, ears, and even their pores, which fades after a few seconds.

Apparently, Raven ate too much. She teleports outside, and shoots a big blast of energy up at the sky.

Pixy snuggles up next to me, and says she's going to come with us on the adventure. We make out. Raven loudly clears her throat, and we have this telepathic conversation:

So... uh... would Angel get jealous?

Maybe... but Pixy is an aspect of her.

What do you mean, just like a piece of her personality.

A version of her in another dimension. Gabrielle, Angelina, Pixy, and Selene, all are versions of her in other dimensions, Selene being the closest, like a twinner almost. She merged with all of them, starting with Selene.

Okay...

But, each of them has their own independence and sentience. Selene is the only one who is permanently merged with Angel.

So, is Angel aware of this?

In dreams, yes, but her waking self is not.

Interesting...

I have to tell her these things bit by bit.

So, why didn't you tell me this before?

I guess I didn't want to feel that I was assuming I knew more about Angelina and Gabrielle since you introduced me to them.

Oh, Nate. Don't worry so much. This is a dream. I was just curious about things. You can tell me anything. You know that.

I know. (I telepathically blush.)

***

Tigress and Raven look at Pixy, scrutinizing her.

Well, you are going to need some weapons and armor...

We summon weapons and armor, and she tries them on.

"Ok, this is heavy, and ridiculous. I will be fine. I just need some..."

Pixy removes the armor, drops the weapons, and takes a bite of a potted plant. Her eyes flash green. The plant jumps out of the pot on to her back, and forms a vine-y armor over her with thorns. She says the plant is a symbiote, like my dark energy symbiote, only this is an earth energy symbiote.

Alright, ready? Let's go!

Raven creates a portal. Tigress kisses Silverwolf goodbye, and the four of us jump through.

****

We are on a snowy mountain. It's freezing, but I am not in pain. WTF? Oh yeah... this is a dream....

Raven says, "We have to get closer."

She teleports us to an ice cave. Hanging from the ceiling in a huge icicle is a beautiful blue gem the size of a human heart.

"The Glacier's Heart!" yells, Tigress excitedly. She flies up toward it, but Raven says no, it's dangerous.

"What?" Tigress shouts angrily.

The Frost Giant appears, but it's a ghost like image of him. I realize he is somehow projecting into this dream... His astral body maybe?

[I] Listen, children. You cannot take the Glacier's Heart like this. In fact, if you do take it, the whole glacier will melt, and everything in the valley will die.[/I]

"Well, why the hell are we even here? Why are we in this stupid dream?"

Tigress charges at the Frost Giant, but she goes right through him, and hits a wall.

"Listen, child. You can have something like this, but, not this one. You see, this particular gem is the mother of all Glacier Hearts. There are more, actually, but this is the first one. What you need to do is wait a hundred years for it to make babies. You can have one, and then you will have the ice power you crave."

"A hundred years?"

"You can go forward in time. I think we have a time traveler here, do we not?" he says, looking at me.

I create a large clock, then I make the hands spin forward until they're a blur. Raven creates some type of force field around us with wind to keep us from aging.

After a hundred years, I stop the clock. Raven lets the tornado thing die down.

The Glacier's Heart is vibrating and glowing. Hundreds of tiny gems migrate through the ice, making funny cooing sounds like human babies.

The float out, some of them fly out of the cave. Some fall on the floor and wiggle around. Tigress picks one up.

It crawls all over her, then jumps into her sword. Immediately, her sword is covered in frost.

"Nice!" says Tigress.

She attacks an ice pillar. Nothing.

"DoH! It won't work on ice! Duh..." she says.

Let's go kick someone's ass!

We all grin, and Raven creates a portal.

(cont'd)

I am at the Pyramids. There is some black goo covering everything. I try to burn it up. Not much happens. I try to vacuum it. Not much either. Something knocks me into a portal. I am getting knocked back through a wormhole. The thing is trying to steer me toward some world where it has lots of power. Whatever this thing is, FUCK IT. I steer to the Moon.

I come flying out of a portal on the Moon. I grab this thing and throw it off of me. It's a dark demon version of me, with two dragons on its shoulders.

[IMG]http://cghub.com/files/Image/019001-020000/19439/254_realsize.jpg[/IMG]

Who the fuck are you?

Deathgawn, bitch. I am an aspect of you.

Right. You must be a version of me in another dimension.

Is there a difference?

Why don't you tell me?

We rush at each other. My angel helmet is humming loudly. I summon all my swords: The Budgie Blade, the Moon Blade, and the Witchblade and merge them into one. I summon my two small dragons, Skyfire and Rainstorm to perch on my shoulders. The witchblade forms armor over my body. I hit my centipede disk, and silver centipedes come out of the disk on my chest, and cover my body.

Our swords clash as we collide. Suddenly, I am outer space, meditating next to Deathgawn. He looks at me and grins. We are both transparent like ghosts.

We watch or dream body selves battle on the Moon.

What the hell are we now?

We are in astral, Nomad.

Suddenly I am back on the Moon. My sword is at Deathgawn's throat. I demand he tell me who he is. He begins to suck me into his chest... We end up merging.

For some reason, I feel like I have water in my ear. I teleport inside the Biodome.

Oh, hey Nomad! says Raven. You....okay? You look a little strange.

I just need to.... sit.

I sit by the koi pond on the park bench. I look at the mirror. I see scenes of what's going on in the City of Nowhere.

Raven gives me a glass of water and some fruit. I change the water to pomegranate juice. Mm... feel better.

Let's plant that tree!

Where?

Right here! Near the mirror.

I always forget about the mirror, because I always watch the fish.

I know.

We dig a hole in the ground. I drop a large seed in it. Raven drops... an apple pie?

An apple pie? Really?

We both laugh. We sprinkle some fairy dust we have in little pouches from Pixy, then cover it with dirt. A tree springs up.

It has mango-apple pies hanging from it. We pick the pies. They are heavenly!

Now let's go have an RPG adventure with Tigress.

You rang?

She steps out from the trees. She is a tall knight in white and gold armor. Allison? You're a man.

Yes?

Raven laughs and creates a portal. We go through.

On the other side, Raven and I are assassins in white. Here the dream diverges...

I start dreaming a second dream very similar to the first, but it's a mythical feudal Japan.

A bunch of goblins pop up from bushes and attack us. I teleport around, and stab them in the back. I see Raven doing flips, and attacking with something like a spear with a long blade. Tigress is using a claymore, spinning around and cutting them in half. They run away. Tigress laughs.

We summon horses and ride to Silverwolf's house. Pixy answers the door.

"Hi everyone! Well, she's busy making stew, but come in."

Pixy winks at me, and smacks my ass as I walk in. I give her a quick kiss. Silverwolf is running around. "oh, oh! Guests! You haven't visited for a long time. Welcome to my cottage!"

"Aw, I've missed coming here, Silverwolf."

She blushes and sets down bowls of soup in front of us. "Beast stew! Oh, wait, you're a vegetarian, Nomad?"

"Not in dreams."

She also serves us cherry beer.

"WOW THIS IS DELICIOUS."

The five of us sit around the table and talk. Tigress says she wants to acquire a special jewel for her sword. It's turquoise in color, yet, transparent. It has to do with water and cold magic mainly: Freezing. The Glacier's Heart, is what it's called. Silverwolf gives us Energy Bars.

She tells us to eat these on our journey, and it will give us energy for battle. I tell her thanks for all the empowerments.

(cont'd)

I fell asleep trying to AP around 8:30 pm. I was way too tired from bodysurfing. I woke up at 2:22 am. I can't remember shit.

I think the key to WILD's and AP is to fall asleep slowly.

NOTES

I meet Raven on the Moon.

We plant a tree together. Half-Mango/Banyang, and Half Apple Pie. It pops up. It has delicious fruit.


RPG

Adventure

Tigress is a white knight, and Raven and I are assassins....

[I]Deep Dream State[/I]

I am floating over a strange alien landscape. Everything is a pale red, reminding me of quartz with red minerals or maybe red algae growing in it.

I see a fat red lizard curled in a circle. She looks up at me. Her eyes flash purple, and she flicks out a purple tongue... Mother?

She crawls off a clutch of leathery eggs, glowing violet from the inside. One of the eggs vibrates, and I burst forth and scream... a little demon baby. The red lizard turns into a humanoid demon, and picks me up. She looks at me lovingly, and gives me a piece of fresh meat.

***

I am in demon school. I play mean pranks on the other demon children. I am rewarded with the title Class Bully. All the other demon children hate me. I eat their anger and hate, and grow in power. I get all the hot demoness chicks in high school, because I am such an asshole.

I get into an Ivy League demon college and study quantum physics. I realize nothing is everything and everything is nothing. Right. I fly through the roof. My professors yell at me and shake their fists. I fire red energy at them. I land, then walk slowly through the college, burning it down with huge flames shooting out of my hands. For this, I receive a medal from the president.

Then, my girlfriend dies. Well, she becomes an angel. THAT BITCH!

I become dark and sullen. I burrow into the earth. I make myself into a pupa. I pupate underground. I crawl out, and am a Moon Moth. All the other demons are Moon Moths. Do we always do this? Once in a blue moon!

I am at a party. There are half naked women making out. I find this a little odd, and annoying for some reason. I leave and go outside. I am a futuristic city.

There are couple dressed oddly making out. One is a huge Samoan man in a green dress, and a little White woman. Air cars fly by... some strange alien creature hops past and grins at me...

Okay... Am I dreaming?

I pinch my nose shut, yet I can breathe.[COLOR="blue"] I am dreaming.
[/COLOR]
[COLOR="blue"]Of course I am dreaming! Of course I am dreaming! I fly up into the sky. I am above the ocean. Hmm... what should I do next? Aha! I am going to fly to Angel and visit her in a dream! I fly toward the horizon. There is a beautiful storm cloud about to rain in front of me, lit up by the setting sun. It is amazingly detailed, orange, blue, grey, white, pink... Wait, I am flying west. I should be flying east to her in Florida. Okay...

I turn around and fly the other way. The storm is in front of me. DOH. This storm is in my way!

I look up. I see a hole in the sky forming above me. Oh, right, well, nothing between me and the Moon. I'll fly there and see if I can meet Raven. No, not fly. That will take too long. I can teleport. I can teleport! Right. I can teleport to Angel. I close my eyes and think of my girlfriend. I open them. [/COLOR]

I am in bed. Awake. DOH! :doh:
