New Dream Adventures of Raven Knight

Note: Several plans for this evening. First I did more training with Vegeta. Did a quick run through of the previously completed challenges, and then moved on to the maze. My reaction time is improving greatly just from the nightly training. Vegeta says if I keep this up, I will be moving and reacting so quickly that my enemy will have trouble keeping track of me. Who needs to teleport when you move as fast as that? Vegeta's time dilation allowed me to get a few hours training into less than an hour of waking life time. I am finding my memories of the training aren't as clear as they were in the beginning… Vegeta says that's fine, don't worry about it. The training needs to become instinctive, so remembering it is not important. Next I wanted to heal MoSh after he had been having some pains last night, followed by one more healing on S to make sure she is ok. And I still want to have a shared DDO dream with Tigress where we both remember it well. Still working on that one. I have decided not to go back into the Book of the Abyss again. I didn't like that sorcerer I found in there. I didn't like his attitude, I didn't like the feeling I got from him, I didn't like the fact he slipped disturbing images in with the images showing different fighting techniques, I didn't like the fact he had put down the fact that Walms restores nature by using dark energy… I didn't like anything about him. My first WILD went to training with Vegeta, this starts with my second dream.

I got out of bed and looked at the clock. The clock said it was 1:30 in the afternoon! Oh, shit! I'd intended to be up by about 10:30! I threw on my clothes and ran out of my bedroom… and into a dark room. Wtf? My bedroom door closed behind me, leaving me in total darkness. I groped around in the darkness until I felt a wall. The wall felt like panels of cold steel. This made absolutely no sense. I followed the wall to the side until I found a corner, then I followed that wall. I could hear my footsteps echoing off of the steel floor. Why couldn't I see anything? I needed light. So far this felt like being in a strange dream where nothing was right… a dream? Maybe I was dreaming… I did a RC and confirmed that fact. I became lucid.

I formed a ball of light in my hand so I would be able to see. The light reflected off of the metal surfaces of the room. The sound of my footsteps echoed. I thought about my dream goals. I wanted to go meet MoSh to take care of a couple of things. So I opened a portal to MoSh's inner world and went through it.

I found MoSh waiting on the other side of the portal. MoSh asked if I was ready to go. I said I would be ready as soon as I did a healing on MoSh for the pains he had experienced the previous night. MoSh agreed to that, so we went into his house and into one of the bedrooms. MoSh lied down on the bed and I focused on the song Voices from the Macross Plus soundtrack. Golden energy formed and flowed through MoSh as the song played through. After that was done I opened a portal to go find S. The portal opened easily and I went through, followed by MoSh.

The portal exited into a familiar scene of a church with a small graveyard beside it. Things didn't look as dark or dreary as I remembered it. It looked like a pleasant little church. Like in the photo, except it was night out. In the graveyard I saw a woman. She was beside one of the graves with some flowers. She set the flowers beside the grave and then looked over at MoSh and me. It was S. She looked over at us, she had a strange look on her face. She was the reason why I was there. I headed over to S. When I got closer to S I saw she was looking past me at MoSh. She said something about the bitch bringing her mutt mate. So apparently she was not happy to see us…

I approached S, completely ignoring her comments. I did an energy scan of her. She was contaminated by dark energy. I could take that out… I briefly remembered things going bad the last time I tried that with her… should I try it again? Yes… I knew how to be more careful. I used Silver and Cold to draw dark energy out of S. MoSh used a healing spell, putting light energy into S. This time I watched the energy I was drawing out to make sure I wasn't trying to absorb any sentient entities. I drew the dark energy out, MoSh replaced it, and I didn't see any sign of a sentient entity. The process went smoothly. When the process was over, the area looked even brighter. It actually looked quite nice. I opened a portal back to MoSh's inner world.

When we got back to MoSh's inner world, I noticed the dream seemed to be ending. Time to dilate time. I told MoSh I wanted to do something more with him if he didn't mind. He said that was cool. I figured that might not even matter… if he wasn't going to remember me. Either way, I decided to dilate time. I focused on Allura's method of time dilation, dilating time to the point where one hour in waking life equaled four hours of dream time.

Note: The dream state completely changed plots here, so I will separate the next part into a separate dream.
