At grossi's. We were making toast and Diz was there and he was being wierd. I also had an interview for a dental assisting job and my boss was helping me get ready. I was gonna be late, and I had some stupid DA helping me get ready. i was wearing really gay blue shoes that I had to tie up. It was at a dock, and I had to walk through these really hardcore security doors.

I woke up at 6am this morning and struggled to get back to sleep for about half an hour. This dream seemed to last hours but in actual fact must only have been about 15 minutes long at most.

My grandapa was with me in a kitchen that I don't recognise. There is the table and chairs from our kitchen in there and the floor is stone. My grandpa is looking for an onion and asks me to get him one. I'm standing in the street which in the dream I equate to being outside my work, but I'm not, I'm not sure where it is. I walk down the side alley at the side of 'work' and I'm in my mum's back garden. There's a shed there and I go inside.

Leonardo DiCaprio is in the shed and I'm not even mildly surprised by this. He seems really upset. He walks towards me and puts his arms around me, giving me a kiss. We walk hand in hand into my mums house and back into the strange kitchen. My sisters Amy and Emma are there, along with a strange boy that I don't know.

I go over to the laptop on the table and start browsing for something. Then I pick up the bit of paper beside me and it suddenly becomes the laptop monitor. My gran walks into the kitchen but she's lost her mind. She's shouting random rubbish like 'mum!' and 'maw!'. This about breaks my heart seeing her this way and I walk over to her and kiss the top of her head.

Suddenly my little cousin Jack is with us. We're out of the kitchen again and in my mum's living room. Jack is sat with the wreckage that used to be the laptop. I get so upset because the laptop was my grans. The screen is completely broken and Jack snatches a part out of the back. My mum twists his ear and tells him what he did was very bad.

I am in the hall outside Emma's room, where the dogs normally sleep. Leo is back, only he is sobbing and I give him a hug. My mum is watching from the living room. I notice the absolutely pristine white tshirt he has on. "Let's go to bed" he whispers in my ear, once he's calmed down some. He goes on ahead and I start to go to my room.

As Im walking, the scene around me changes and I'm in a big drawing room with peach walls and carpet. Some boring, snotty guy is droning on about the room we're in and which king decorated this particular room of Buckingham Palace. I get fidgety and bored and start playing with the lever beside me that seems to open and close the window behind me. It's more a winch than a lever, like the king you would use to bring a bucket up from a well. I open the window but it's too cold, so I try to close it again. I break the handle off and everyone is looking at me. I sheepishly hand over the handle to someone else to try to fix for me. The scene shifts again.

My gran has fallen down the stairs and dislocated her arm. My Auntie Kathleen is going to pop it back in and fix it. I know I'll be sick if I watch and my dad agrees "I'll be sick" he says just as I walk into the hall outside my parents room. In the dream it must be my room because I can see Leo lying on the bed waiting for me, still looking distraught.

I close the bedroom door behind me as I walk into the bedroom. I climb into bed beside him and snuggle up.

Damn Alarm Clock!!

I was an artist. Of more than paint and more than words. I created through raw imagination. I would focus on a canvas and a world would be created inside. My worlds were dark and frightening. My gallary was called "Hell". You could enter through the door but simply opening it was not the way in. Opening the door and stepping through it brought you to just another static gallary of paintings and poetry. You had to make an offering to enter Hell. You dip your fingers in the holy water and instead of crossing yourself you spread the water on the door and listen to it sizzle. Then the veil becomes sheer and Hell can be entered.

I was trapped. Surrounded by fire. My friend--Cordelia?--made it through before the ring was complete. I'd been here before. I could abandon the poem and run through the fire to the other side, to safety. But not this time. This time the poem had to be completed. This time I didn't know I was reading or writing. "I am Milton," I said. "No you're not," pleaded my friend, "Just jump through the fire!" "I can't," I said, "I must complete the poem." The fire drew closer and there was no longer any hope of escape.

In the back of my mind I felt an angel turn its head from God. It tore itself away from the Kingdom and descended upon me. "No," I thought, "Not forever!" but it was too late. The angel took me downward and we descended into Hell.

It was sort of a continuation of a dream, where in a past dream a new friend of colleen’s was trying to kill us off one by one, it would start out with her asking if we want to see this movie on her computer. When it came to her asking me, for some reason I knew what she was trying to do and as she flicked the lights off and asked, I would say something like, “no thanks, I don’t wanna see it.”

Another dream that seemed to be a continuation was swimming in clear blue water with colleen and possibly a boy where we see dolphins, then they disappear and we see sharks. Later on in my dream cycle, when several dreams have passed, I find a camera where I had taken underwater photos of the dolphins and sharks, and thought “why haven’t I put these on facebook yet?”

At one point I was helping Whitney clean out her stuff from some sort of church basement or storage room, and I thought “wow I’ve been moving a lot these days.”

At one point I was helping Colleen move I think, and I had this weird car that I forgot I had the key to. It was raggedy and beige, almost like a very mini pick up truck, it changed forms by the end of the dream.

I almost got married to a darkishly tanned Mexican guy after knowing him for a few days. He was not my type nor was I very attracted to him. When the day came for the wedding, I began to feel nervous and knew I was going to call off the wedding. As family and friends were sitting in the church, this is when I noticed that I was not only marrying this Mexican guy, but I was marrying two other girls as well. Catastrophe broke out as we all realize we are not getting married. I was the only one to walk down the aisle and apologize to our family and friends for wasting their time.

Walking the Warrior's way.

The first of this dream is foggy. I think Don Juan was talking to me about using the right way of walking while in dreaming. something about using my feeling to accomplish this. Walking in this manner during dreams is a sure way to improve lucidity, he said.

Physical memory starts when I'm walking along some road that dives downward. on the other side of the street there is an indent in the rock that you can walk up. I walk up and down it in a cirlce. A woman is behind me. and for some reason I am explaining the Nagual to her. after a time the walk becomes more difficult to perform. My feet get heavier and I hear a clunking sound everytime I hit the rock with my feet.

WILDING in a dream

I had a fa right into sleep paralysis. I knew i was about to enter a dream. I never attempted tojolt myself from the parlysis just focused on entering the next dream. I started hearing a voice say "The next time you are dreaming you will realise that you are dreaming. Are you dreaming? is this a dream?" I tried to focus on the words but it got drowned out by music.

I was in the middle of a nonlucid. I was in some theater and a big screen was displaying an Iron Maiden concert. after a while someone shut off the screen in theiddle of a song and decided to play a movie instead. Everyone got mad and started rioting. I left the seating area and decided that If I coln't watch the concert, I would rob this place of their food. I went behind a concession counter and started ripping open bags of chips and cookies. I began eating like crazy before the dream ended.

Is this a dream?

I'm in the backseat of a car driving towards my house in olds. Ilook tomy right and see asuka is in the backseat with me. I breifly think "Is this a dream?" The dream feels to real so I forget the question.I may have performed an RC but I don't remember wether it worked or not.

Hug

I'm in some area outside on a strange planet. B'Elanna from star trek voyager is standing on a huge rock over a cliff or precipice. People are giving her hugs and wishing her well on her jump into infinity. I recall giving her two hugs.

cacophony

I'm in some crowded mall area. I walk around. I walk past a woman I think is Cacophony, but she looks different. She sort of looks at me as I walk past. A moment later she approaches me and we have small talk "hi how are you?, how are things? Everything's fine thanks" etc. There is a noticeable tension between us and she seem nervous. later on she walks by again and we have pretty much the same conversation. I feel like she wants to tell me something but is too embarrassed to bring it up.

Back at the mall

i'm back at the same place and run into another familiar woman. I become lucid and flya bit around her bu I forget what happens afterward. When I woke up I realized she was Asuka.

Lucid outside

I was someplace at nightime in a backyard. There was a stone walk way with a stone arch over some steps leading to other pavement. I was lucid right away. I called to Asuka and decided to wait. I didn't want to sit still in fear of losing the dream. I strated touching the ground trying to incorporate my sense of touch in the dream. When i looked at my hand on the ground I started counting instinctively. I stopped since usually doing that destabalises the dream. I wanted to indorporate taste next but I forget what happened after.

Another concert

I was outside at a familiar dream stage. I saw a band doing a sound check. I was staring at the guitar that belonged to one of the band members. There were extra frets on the guitar, which went well into where the pickups usually are. I then noticed that the pickups were placed to be part of the frets. It looked kind of cool. After the sound check I went to the guitarist and talked to him about his unusual guitar. He was young around my age and we quickly became friends.

Pablo

I was reading my Dream journal and saw that pablo commented on an entry. He said he saw me in a dream as an albino serpent, or a white snake. I googled his phrase and found a cartoon about white snakes. It was poorly done, but it portrayed the snakes living underground and possibly in the ocean.

We took a bus from Maryland or Delaware to another part of the state. Once we began to arrive, I noticed on the floor painted signs saying things like “this way to Uganda” and I asked aloud, “We’re this close to Uganda?” but someone assured me that we were close to the airport to Uganda.

We go on a school trip somewhere, with the high school. Then when we get back I get locked in my old havre de grace high school. All of my things are there, not just things I brought on the trip, but everything I own. The entire time I seemed to be in some type of struggle, but I didn’t seem to be trying very hard to get out either.

My mom was driving the car crazily with me in the passenger seat. She turned the corner too fast, and the car swerved into a ditch. We were on an island that was like a strip of land that went through a lake. On the strip of land there were beautiful, rich houses. My mom put the car into reverse and I noticed that there was a lovely, green and blue tropical bird sitting in the water near a lily pad just like a toad would!

The house we pulled up to was HUGE and it was a light yellow color. Leading up to the driveway there was a large arch, the same color as the house and when the driveway stopped an enormous pool began. I think we were staying there for just a few days.

While my mom tried to find the keys to open the door, an old lady in a night gown ran up to me.

"I was almost afraid to even tell you, but while you were gone they completely bugged up this entire house!" She said, out of breath. After she said that she looked around a few times, in a state of paranoia, and then ran away again. What was her deal?

My phone vibrated, and I got a text from an unknown number. The text read:

We are watching. If you make one move wrong, I have people here to correct you.

My mom and I stepped inside the house and got comfortable. She asked if I wanted Italian for dinner. I sang the Numa Numa as I went up the staircase and I got another text warning me...

A police crossed out something with a red marker.

Key: Non-Lucid, Lucid

I was playing a Mario Kart game on DS with my brother, except it wasn't Mario Kart DS -- it was a new game. The controls were messed up, L or R to power slide then the opposite shoulder button to initiate the speed boost. It was awkward and I was complaining about it sucking really bad.

I also recall there being really hard to see short-cuts on the track we were playing. It was extremely frustrating.

The dream started to change in to a physical race on foot. I was no longer holding the DS but an active participant in the race. There were a few people I was aware of also racing. I recognised most from different periods of my life.

I was running through a castle themed area. I remember stopping and hiding to ambush the person behind me. I had some kind of tray or disc, strangely turquoise in colour, and I jumped out from behind a wall and hit them with it.

I raced up some steps and overtook someone ahead of me. They tried to stop me, but I avoided them. I recall that I was now on wooden rope bridge over some water. It wasn't very far, and there were other rope bridged around. The water was very oldskool video game looking: opaque blue and pixelated.

Finally I recall reaching what must have been the end goal. It was a room with containers built in to the walls on either side. It looked like the inside of some kind of temple. I wasn't the first here, but I learned that it didn't really matter. I had to open a box with a number on it. More of a game of chance it turned out. There were low and high numbers.

I saw J, a hot girl that went to my secondary school. She was next to largest number. I walked over and said I was going to open it. She and the others in the room were shocked. I understood that the higher the number the higher the risk that whatever was inside was more dangerous, but also the higher the potential reward. I felt like injury or death might await. I was trying to be daring though.

I opened it. My vague recollection is of reading some instructions inside on a small brightly coloured scroll. J was also helping me by explaining something.

I either woke up or just can't remember the rest.

The One Where I Play The Piano (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

All I remember is something about people fighting in an arena. That's it.

First Portal!

I was walking past Natcoll where I study, there was a telecom store next to it and they had all sorts of awsome deals! I thought about getting one because my phone is so cheap and old but then I thought it worked good enough so I kept walking. Then me and Ash were in some wierd area not in the middle of town. It had started to rain and there was a little hut looking thing. It was only about 2 feet tall so we had to get on our hands and knees to get in. It was made of old corrigated iron and looked like some sort of fort I could have made when I was a kid. I dont know what I was looking for in there but it was a lot larger than it looked on the outside. Eventualy I came out and I realised I was dreaming. I rubbed my hands together and then called out "Koi pond portal!" and moved my hand like a mage. Suddenly a small red poral came up. It looked just like an oblivion gate but it was only about one foot tall! I lay down on the ground infront of it and placed my hand right before it and accidentaly closed my eyes! Dammit! Everything went black and then I woke up in my bed, one of my flatmates and a friend came in and I started telling them about my dream and the portal and then woke up, it was a FA!!


Falling Apart

I was walking down the street with Tom, Reuben and Ash. This little kid ran past me and smacked me in the head and ran off. We were all like wtf just happened!!! But kept walking not realy worrying. He came back from behind and I knew this time, I turned around and swung my arm into him so hard he went flying to the ground. He didnt move at all, we turned around and went into a bar just two shops down. Reuben grabbed a bottle of spirits and a shot glass and did a little bit of flaring and then started splashing the alky on the table in a straight line and off the edge of the table where a worker was waiting with a glass catching it all. It was very impressive! We walked back out of the bar and there were paramedics with the kid, he was still not moving. We kept going in the same direction and turned around the first corner we came to. It was getting pretty dark now. I realised I was dreaming and popped out my extra pinky finger. I called out "Koi pond portal!!" and the guys asked what I was doing. I didnt answer and the portal didnt work. I didnt say anything now but kept trying to make any sort of portal. I wasnt thinking about where it would take me, I was just trying to get one to pop up. Then Tom said hey let me try! I know he has made portals easily in his dreams so I thought it would word well. I tried and a black oval came up but quickly disappeared. I tried the hand movement he used and got a bit more luck but nothing major. Street lights aroudn us kept going out and cracks were forming along buildings and roads. I knew I didnt have much time left. I kept trying, now there was just one small part of wall that was visible, everything was black. The light on the wall grew darker and darker. A black cirlce formed in the middle of the dark wall and I grabbed and the wall and pulled myself through at the last second. I was spinning around in a black void, it felt pretty cool. I was hoping I was in space and I would spin around and see the moon and second but instead I saw my room. I saw books and paper and pens flying around the room and settling on the bed and I landed next to them. I got out of bed and then woke up, another FA!!!

Commentary || Lucid || Non-Lucid

I woke up naturally around 3:15. I attempted a MILD.

I woke up in bed. I instinctively did an RC by pinching my nose, and I could breathe through it. I remained calm, and got up slowly. Is started to blow on, and feel my hands. They felt clamy. Clarity increased. I began feeling the texture of the wooden drawer beside my bed. I lost my vision here, but I regained it by giving a "Clarity Now!" shout.

I left my room and walked down the hallway. I reminded myself it was day outside, and sure enough, I saw light creeping through the seems of my front door. I went outside and it was dawn. I looked up at the sky, and saw the second moon I had created during my first lucid (It's my Dreamsign). I went to where the concrete driveway and grass met, and bent on my knees. I knelt about 5 inches from the ground and started to examine the concrete and grass.

My lucidity and clarity skyrocketed and this point. I though about summoning someone and haveing sex; however, I looked back at the house and my parents were awake doing dishes (My mom had a huge afro ). I then decided I wanted to change the scene to a beach like setting.

I asked my dream to provide me a way of doing that, and I turned the corner. Sure enough, there was a machine sitting on my porch. Quite honestly, the machine looked like a large HP printer with a digital camera on top and a door that opened in the middle of it. Oddly, it seems like I didn't get inside the door, but jumped on top of it and tried to fly with it!

As I was in the air, my logic kicked in a little too much, and I had a fear that I was going to fall. I then pulled a:

"By the way, did I mention this machine has wings that will let me fly?"

The machine (or my dream) retorted:

"You must be at least 100 ft. in the air to fly"

So I found a ramp (I believe I flew off the ramp in the first place) and placed it against a fence. I was going to get momentum and take off.

I woke up here. It was bout 4:50.

I had said something about checking back on MoSh to see if he wanted to go on an adventure, but I figured I could accomplished another task of the month for Mortal Mist in the process. I would go through a mirror to get back to the biodome!

So with the goal of going through a mirror to get back into the biodome, and thus back to MoSh, I summoned a mirror right in front of Pablo and myself. The mirror was a full body mirror, oval in shape, and it was sitting up off of the ground on a stand. It would easily make a large enough portal for Pablo and me to go through. I am not very familiar with using mirrors for travel, so I tried a couple of times… I tried touching the mirror… it was solid. I then focused on making the surface of the mirror fluid, picturing it as if it weren't solid but instead was the perfectly still surface of a pool of water, so when it was touched it would ripple. I visualized that clearly in my mind and then reached out and touched the mirror again. I got the ripples I was looking for. So now I just had to set the destination. I focused on the portal leading to the hot springs in the biodome. As I was focusing, the mirror changed from a still reflective surface to an actual portal in the mirror… I thought that looked really cool, a wormhole starting at the mirror… so I picked up the Pablo fox, held him close against my body so we wouldn't possibly get separated, and stepped through the mirror into the wormhole.

The ride through the wormhole was a rather wild one, like going on a really intense roller coaster… only much faster than any roller coaster I have ever experienced. The wormhole seemed awfully long considering that the distance between the surface of the moon and the biodome isn't that far… It seemed to me that in that case it was senseless to use a wormhole since it seemed to be taking much longer than just teleporting there or using a normal portal. But whatever, I wasn't in a huge hurry, and the ride was rather fun… or at least I thought it was fun… the fox in my arms looked a little nauseated… and then we finally came out the other side of the portal… and fell down over a desert, I landed on the back of a horse… wtf? I was on Stardust's back, Pablo was clinging to me, no doubt as surprised by this turn of events as I was. I looked around and saw I wasn't alone, Nomad was with us… so was Angel… and MoSh… and Altaïr… Spike… they were also riding horses… and we were being chased by Templars also on horses… what the hell was going on here? I had set a portal to go to the biodome and now I was here…

Ok, while I wasn't sure what was going on or how I had ended up here, it was pretty clear that I would have to fight the Templars… I rode over closer to MoSh and asked him what was going on, had Nomad found him in the biodome? Were Asuka and the kids ok? He gave me a strange look, but I didn't have time to think about that, Templars were shooting arrows at us. I moved away from MoSh and started throwing fireballs at the Templars. Nomad was throwing white blasts of energy, MoSh was throwing what looked like small daggers that were sparking with a green light… We were doing that, then suddenly Angel jumped from her horse, pulled out a couple of short swords, and proceeded to hop from horse to horse, killing the Templar on the back of each horse before moving on. She soon got back to the rest of us and got back on her horse, which had continued running the whole time. I used Battery and called down lightning to strike as many Templars as possible, taking them out while leaving their mounts unharmed. I didn't want to hurt the horses… We rode farther across the desert until we came to an enormous sink hole… we got off our horses to investigate. The horses were getting fatigued, well Stardust wasn't, but the others just had normal horses… I looked and saw the Templars' horses had continued following us even though they had no riders. I focused on teleporting them… not sure where, but I could see that it had lots of green grass and plentiful water… it looked like paradise for horses. All of the horses disappeared, including Stardust.

Nomad was looking down into the sinkhole with obvious interest, he said he wanted to jump in it. I asked why, pointing out we had no idea where it might lead, he said it didn't matter since we were dreaming and could not be hurt. I felt movement under my Assassin's robes, which I was finally able to take the time to notice I had the Assassin's robes on, and I realized Pablo had burrowed down under the robes to where he apparently felt safe… or as safe as possible. All of the others were dressed in Assassin's robes, too. Altaïr commented that not all of them were dreamers, Angel, Spike, and himself were not dreaming… but at the same time he didn't really have any objections to exploring someplace new… he did that all the time. What's the worst that could happen? MoSh said death, Altaïr said no, death is not the worst thing that can happen, some things are much worse than death. Spike said he couldn't die since he was already dead. Nomad had already made up his mind and jumped into the sinkhole, I figured I had better follow him, and everyone else apparently decided to follow the both of us.

The sand was flowing through a hole at the bottom and into a cave underneath, I grabbed onto a ledge with a tendril of Witchblade… and felt claws digging into my stomach as Pablo grabbed onto me with his claws… then some weight hanging off of me as Altaïr had grabbed hold of me… Spike flew over the hole in the ground and landed on solid ground at the opening of a cave. Altaïr jumped to that ledge and also climbed out, Angel floated over there, Nomad and MoSh both flew over and Witchblade pulled me up with the tendril. So now we were all in the entrance of a cave watching sand fall past us just outside the cave… it seemed the sand must eventually stop, there couldn't be an infinite amount of sand… but the only way for us to go was forward.

I took a couple minutes to disengage Pablo's claws from my stomach… ow… and then I set the fox down, he immediately changed into a state that was half human and half fox, looking something like Fox McCloud from the Starfox games. He looked over at me and said he was sorry about the thing with the claws, it had just been an instinctive reaction, I told him not to worry about it as I quickly healed the stinging cuts in my stomach. So the group of us started walking down the passage, through the dark caves, we couldn't see much. We groped along a bit longer, I heard Angel up ahead saying something was hers… it sounded like Gollum talking about the ring of doom, I almost expected her to demand someone give her back her precious. Wtf? I also heard Nomad curse… something was going on around us, I needed to see what. I adjusted my eyesight to see in the dark… I did that a bit too soon, because a blindingly bright light extended from Nomad as he tried to light the area, I couldn't see anything! I heard a commotion all around us, sounded like a lot of bats, he had probably stirred up some sleeping bats… way to go… I finally got my sight back, and the bats weren't running for a darker part of the cave, they were viciously attacking us… scratching and biting… something was odd about their energy. Their energy was off because they weren't typical bats, they were vampire bats… and I don't mean the kind of bat that drinks a small amount of blood and moves on, I meant the type of bat some types of vampire are able to transform into… Nomad formed a shield around all of us just as I was about to use Enter Sandman, I told him to drop it long enough to do the spell… he looked at me strangely, then dropped it, and I activated the spell… the whirlwind of dark and light energy pulled a lot of the bats into it, burning them as it did, and the others headed off in different directions through small passages in the cave.

So now all of us were in the cave alone, we were actually in a small chamber rather than just another extent of cave, and there were many exits from the chamber. The only problem was that most of the exits were much too small for us to fit through, at least too small to fit through in our current forms. Someone asked what had been with those bats… I said those weren't bats, they were vampires, we had somehow wandered into a vampire lair. There were four passages that we were able to fit through. One of those was where we had come from, the other three were new and unexplored. MoSh and Spike went left, Nomad and Angel went right, Altaïr, Pablo, and I went straight. We traveled for a short distance before emerging into a huge chamber, there were platforms hanging precariously over molten magma, it looked like it was a volcano… if it erupted, those platforms were history… but for now it looked like a bad platformer game. There was a man on the highest platform, he was dressed in a dark cloak and completely covered, he was mouthing off about how we had made a big mistake to disturb him… but he had been expecting us.

This is the first time I really noticed that I was alone… Pablo and Altaïr were gone, probably they sensed the hostility in this creature just as I did, and they were getting into a good position to respond to an attack. I saw Nomad and Angel emerge from a cave and onto a platform to my right, Spike and MoSh emerged on my left… all roads lead to this hell hole… The cloaked figure turned around and faced us, he seemed to be looking mostly at me since I was in the middle, and he said he was assuming we had come to get our friend back… he indicated a cage hanging over the tallest platform, there was a man in the cage who looked an awful lot like Spike… but that was impossible, Spike was right here… I looked to my left to reassure myself Spike was still there with MoSh, which he was. I figured the one in the cage must be a twinner… The cloaked figure continued to say he would be glad to let our friend go, after we defeated him. So it was going to be a fight! His loss… or very soon it would be his loss… Nomad wanted to know who the fuck he was, and he just said he was known as Death.

So the fight started then, Death appeared to be made entirely of bats… he grew in size and then released a cloud of bats from his cloak, more bats than could possibly have fit in that cloak, and they all attacked us. I used Enter Sandman again, creating another whirlwind to destroy the bats closest to us… and then they all turned back to their master, re-joining him. I saw Altaïr and Pablo were right behind Death, each of them had a hidden blade stuck into Death's back… He was pissed and in pain, trying to reach back for them, but not getting anywhere… Now everyone there combined out attacks. MoSh was a naga, breathing green flames on the asshole right as Pablo and Altaïr jumped clear… Angel fired a white arrow, Nomad threw something that looked like a spear, Spike popped up right in front of him, which clearly caused him quite a surprise to see Spike healthy and free, and sucked the energy out of him… and then he collapsed and turned to dust. As the dust blew away I could hear Death's voice saying he would never die… for Death is immortal.

I flew over to the cage that the other Spike was in and forced the lock open, then I flew in and landed beside Spike, he looked horrible. He was battered and beaten horribly, parts of his flesh were hanging off in loose chunks… yuck… he looked deader than undead… I got beside him and spoke his name, he weakly looked up at me and managed a small smile. He called me Buffy, and said he knew I would come… the Vampire King had said I wouldn't, he had said no one would care what happened, but he had known all along that I would come. I didn't see the point in arguing that I wasn't Buffy… he needed blood, that much was clear, and a lot more healing than that could do… I commented to Spike that he needed to feed, he said nah… he wasn't hungry… he was being sarcastic… I told him to bite me, and take some of my blood. He said no, with the state he was in he wasn't certain he could stop himself before he took too much. I told him not to worry about that, it was complicated and I would explain later, but I wasn't the Buffy he knows, and there is no way he can kill me here. He looked at me blankly. I repeated to him to not be stubborn, to go ahead and bite me, dammit, and drink some of my blood. He finally did. If I had been a normal human, I think it probably would have killed me… but I also think he could have stopped. He paused a time or two to check on me, and only took more when he realized it had not had any ill effect on me. He finally stopped, he looked some better, but he was still in desperate need of healing. Everyone was there with me now, and I opened a portal to the healing glen…

On the other side we were in the healing glen, I heard the sound of the Crystal Golem approaching, shaking the ground as he approached. He wouldn't be sneaking up on anyone… I called out to him that we'd been in a big fight, and needed his healing! Nomad prepared his weapon… um… why was he going to threaten the Crystal Golem? I told Nomad there was no need to fight here… I thought maybe he had lost lucidity. The Crystal Golem said he would heal Spike… He applied some herbs, did some energy work, and then he and Nomad headed off to do something… I think for some reason Nomad wanted to fight the Crystal Golem… whatever. I stayed with Spike and contributed my healing energy to his recovery.

To be continued…
