Lady Datura
I floated up out of my bed. I had four datura seeds swirling around my third eye. I came back down, and looked at myself in my bedroom mirror. My third eye was large and vivid. It had a blue iris and I could see the datura seeds swirling and rolling around it, back into my head, and out again.
"Interesting," I said. I saw Lady Datura in the mirror behind me. She was a green and black plant-woman, with some streaks of purple. Vines grew and writhed about her in the air like snakes. She looked beautiful and terrifying.
"Nomad," she said. "What are you doing?"
"I am dreaming, dear," I said. I turned around. I saw a vague blue outline of her. I turned back to the mirror. The datura seeds changed the angle of the orbit around my third eye.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?" she said demandingly. She wrapped her vines around my throat and stomach. She was looking at me from inside the mirror, and behind me at the same time. She pressed her body into me, and slid a vine-arm down my torso.
"Do you like me? Do you like how I feel inside you?" she asked.
"Yes, ma'am," I gulped.
"Do not tread upon me lightly!" she roared. Green lightning came down from the sky, and became part of her, like branches that did not disappear. Her vines grew thorns and snaked across my body toward my groin.
"Do not fear me," she whispered sensually in my ear, "be terrified of me." Then, she bit my trapezius like a vampire. She had canines like two thorns. I felt a poison injected into me from hollows in her thorn-teeth. She looked like Desdemona from Gargoyles. She raked her claws across my chest.
"Do you love me, O Wanderer? Does the Dreamwalker seek truth? Does the Oneiromancer do magic? Does the Shaman walk between world, committing acts of heresy under the watchful eye of the Moon goddess?"
My eyes glowed white, and I was covered in green and black vines, and foliage. I grinned. My eyes turned back. I had yellow smiley face pupils one green eye, and one violet, and black instead of white eyeballs. My skin was dark green. I had bright yellow rows of pointed teeth like a shark. My canines grew into two sharp thorns. Lightning crackled across my face. "Yes, my Queen," I said.
"Do you feel my power?" she said, and merged into me. I screamed in terror and delight. I went completely mad. Branches grew out of my eye sockets, and my feet grew roots. I grabbed at my eyes, but my fingers had become long branches, and I couldn't grasp anything. Branches grew out of my head like antlers, then out of my back, in the shape of a bat's wing bones. Wispy webs formed over the bat branches, creating wings.
Lady Datura merged halfway out of me, and had a small rock in her hand. She bit into it, like a fruit, and purple juice came out of it. She gave it to me. I took a bite. It crunched and tasted like a dark red wine, and it felt like biting into a pomegranate, except there was a grainy crunchy texture. Lady Datura licked her lips, and merged out of me.
She looked into my eyes. She had violet irises, slowly swirling in her sockets. She had a dark purple, almost black shade of lips.
"Kiss me, mortal," she said.
I took her in my arms. She felt like a woman covered in branches and lichen, and her skin felt like the skin of a banana plant. I kissed her. It felt dark and dirty. I liked it. She stuck her tongue down my throat. I started to gag, and fell back. She let me go. I fell halfway to the ground, suspended in the air, by her giant tongue still in me. I felt the tip of it probing the bottom of my stomach. I said to myself, "this is a dream. Wait? Can I tell the difference? Ah, I only took an oneirogenic dose. I'm fine."
I stopped being afraid, and kissed her back. She pulled me back up, into her arms, and kissed me like a human, then bit my lower lip until it hurt. She let go. "You love me, don't you, mortal?" she asked.
"I love you for the goddess that you are, O Queen," I said.
She looked me scrutinizingly in the eye. "There is no guile within you, O Sorcerer. Maybe you should learn to be more wily."
"I cannot hide secrets from you."
"Hm, good answer. You have a cute butt, by the way," she giggled, and smacked my ass with a viney arm. I kissed her passionately, and raked my tree fingers across her back. She yielded to my touch like a tree blowing in the wind, but I also felt the strong decisive immobility of a tree. She disappeared from sight, leaving a blue outline, like an aura, which merged with me. I heard her voice in my head.
"I will be with you tonight, O Shaman, all night. Just for tonight. You must bide your time before you take me again, you wily sorcerer of old, for I am terrible and powerful. You are wondering if I would make a good ally. I will tell you right now, I will not. Not for anyone, for I kill without regret, for I am a Force of Nature. But, on the other hand, I like you. You released me from my silent prison, and let me interact with you. You let me make love to your mind, therefore I love you. As I love you, I would love to kill you, just as the sea. You may call upon me, and I will answer. I will aid you in your journey, oneiromancer, and you may consider me an ally, but I am not anyone's ally. You have already found the key, and opened the door to my reality. And, yes, I do have an Inner World. It is fraught with terror, madness, beauty, and wisdom. You may go there if you wish, for I am a Dreamer also. I am a Dreaming Plant. All datura plants are all dreaming the same multidimensional dream together, and now you are in my dream, dream lover."
Branches grew over me, crackling like lightning. I had a pouch like a weaver bird's nest hanging off a vine belt on my waist. I opened the pouch. There were three round stones that looked like kukui pods. I ate one. It was much harder than the first stone. Inside of it was an oily nutmeat like a coconut. I felt my limbs become more lithe. I flew up into the air, dirt falling off my roots as I did it.
Juargawn Smash!
I saw a few Moon Orcs on beetles battling a couple Remote Viewers in their suits with their laser guns. I extended my arms out at them like Piccolo taught me, and grabbed the Remote Viewers, and smashed them together. I released them. Little yellow birds flew around their heads. "Let the anvils hit the floor, Let the anvils hit the floor!" Music came out of me, a sweet parody. Anvils dropped out of the sky, and slammed the Remote Viewers into the ground below. Their astral bodies dissipated. The leader of the orc platoon nodded at me, then the orcs and beetles flew off toward the moon, the orcs turning into moths as they went.
The Hairy Ally
I saw a wormhole to the moon, and I flew into it. I changed into Fantastic Five form, a silver Lion-Man in a Fantasic Five suit. I spun through the wormhole, as I flew forward, faster and faster until the astral parasites could not stick to me. Lady Datura was sending out vines, grabbing all the weird floating hairy body parts with eyes that I always see, and piecing them together. "What are you doing?" I asked her.
"I am making a Wormhole Guard, a hairy ally. He will be All Eyes," she said. I saw a bunch of hairy body parts with eyes on them get stuck together, as a blue light shone from the cracks. He suddenly became whole. He was a hairy naked man, so hairy he almost looked like he had fur, and he had eyes all over his body. I stopped flying through the wormhole, and looked at him.
"What manner of creature are you?" I asked.
"I am a Wormhole Guard, a Wyrm incarnate, a Wyrm that walks between worlds!" He changed into a hairy dragon, with the skin of a human and glowing red eyes. He spread his great wings, and his tail snaked back and forth, as he hovered before me. He was terrifyingly ugly and beautiful. "I am the Wyrm of this Wormhole! I thank your ally for reassembling me. She is a lovely goddess."
"Where did you come from?" I asked.
"I have always been Here, wherever Here is. I perceive more than most. We Wyrms live in these wormholes. We have been fragmented, ever since we were blown apart in the War of the Wyrms."
"What was that?" I asked in shock and amazement.
"Gawn and Nevergawn were warring, as always. This was one of many Great Wars in this plane, and other dimensions, that have been fought, are going on, and will go on. The forces of Nevergawn sought to take control of the wormholes leaving Earth. They focused all their energy on the wormholes themselves. In those days, my brothers and I guarded all the wormholes, one Wyrm in each wormhole. The Templars somehow created a massive sleep spell, something to do with mass hypnosis they studied by watching how the human animals react to mass media. I myself fell asleep under this terrifying spell. They came to me, and many strange images flashed before my eyes. My attention and energy was stolen from me. In a strange hypnotic exhaustion, I fell asleep.
"Instead of sending us away, which would be impossible, since we are Masters of Wormholes, they sliced up our dream bodies in our sleep. For some reason, we were not able to reform. I thank the Lady for restoring my dream body."
The Wyrm changed into a knight wearing armor made of bone with human skin stretched over it. Lady Datura merged out of me, and was wearing a strange black and green dress. The scene changed to an empty throne room in a castle. The Wyrm kissed bowed and kissed her hand. "Have I made the soul fertile for you, my love?" he asked.
"Yes dear, yes dear, three bats full," she answered.
Suddenly everything imploded and exploded at the same time. I felt I was in the beginning and end of the universe, all in a flash of light.
* missing time *
Ms. Sea and the Dragon
I flew out of the portal like I was being chased, and hit the ground running on the Moon. A green dragon stuck his head out, chasing me, and the portal closed around his neck. He had red glowing eyes. "Ack! Help!'
he said.
"No! Who the hell are you?" I asked. I kicked him in the head.
"What are you doing?" said Raven.
"I am going to chop his head off!" I said.
"Nomad, stop! He seems like a nice dragon."
"Hmm?" I asked shaking my head in confusion.
Raven opened the portal, and the dragon tumbled out with a rider on his back wearing black armor. They somersaulted in the air and the dragon landed on its feet. The rider had an Orc head in its left hand. The dragon knight lifted its mask. It was Ms. Sea. She tossed the orc head to the side. "Don't need that anymore!" she said.
"Oh, what's that?" I said. "Not one of our allies, I hope?"
"Allies? What? That was a True Demon, don't you remember?" she said.
"Uh, no..."
The dragon had a red gem on his forehead. It glowed and he spoke to me telepathically.
"We were fighting in the glade. My wing was wounded. You came to our aid. We fought alongside each other. You were a great Dark Knight. You had some strange dog creature with you, your familiar. You don't remember?" I shook my head.
"I closed my wings against my back, and you rode on your strange black steed. We crashed through the forest, slaying our enemies. As my eyes turned red with anger, you said I was your enemy, and you said you were going to leave me to die at the hands of the enemies. I told you I couldn't die, for this is a dream, and you said, 'No it's not, this is for real!" Then, you blasted me with wooden lightning. I was concerned for you, so I followed you here. Of course, Ms. Sea was prompting me."
"Lady Datura is driving me mad," I said. Her aura floated up a bit.
"I see that," he said.
"Don't blame me! You walk the path you choose, O Decider of Destiny!" she said in my head. I smacked my head like I had water in it.
Ms. Sea Sea dismounted. "What did you do? Are you datura?" she said.
"I just, hmm... I thought she might make a good ally." I heard Lady Datura laugh in my head.
"Looks like you two need, healing! Sorry, three," said Raven.
Raven summoned the caduceus, and it spun. She became a creature of golden light, and her eyes glowed bright blue. Golden energy flowed out of her into us, enwreathed in purple flame. The flame burned away ectoplasm, and the golden energy healed our wounds, and especially the dragon's wing.
I closed my eyes, and laid down in the moon dust.
"What are you doing, silly?" said Raven. She floated me into the Biodome to the Biodome's Glen of Healing. I felt it flowing through me. I sat up, and teleported to the koi pond. Raven followed me. I began drinking water from the koi pond.
"What are you doing?" said Raven.
"I don't know. I was thirsty," I said sheepishly. Raven summoned a glass of water, and gave it to me. I drank deeply and wiped my mouth. "Ah, thanks sister," I said. Ms. Sea appeared with her dragon, who turned into a cute green and white gargoyle with a big grin on his face. She was wearing the black armor of a dark knight, with a hints of red and purple in it. She was wearing a white sword, and holding a black winged helmet. She shook her hair out of her armor, and it fell down her back gracefully.
"Hello, beautiful," I said.
"Hello, Nomad," she said. Her armor changed into a dream color black and green dress, with white swirling designs on it like fern heads. White branches grew out of her head like antlers. Leaves grew over her eyes like a mask, forming something like butterfly wings. She was petting a white cat with blue eyes, and a blue gem on its forehead. She looked into the cat's eyes, whispered something to it, kissed it on the forehead. The cat mewed, then it hopped out of her arms.
Ms. Sea's gargoyle friend stood there silently with a big goofy smile on his face. "Who are you?" I asked.
"Don't you remember? I already introduced- oh well. I am Valkyr. I am your love's Dream Guide."
"Really?" I said. "Awesome. Do you know Zaphor?"
"Of course!" he said. "We are brothers." Zaphor appeared next to him, and Valkyr rested his elbow on Zaphor and leaned on him. Serious Zaphor looked so grim in contrast.
In the Timespace Bubble
"It's so good to see you, Nomad," said Ms. Sea. She looked at me intently for a second, then took my hands, and kissed me lightly on the lips. I formed a timespace bubble around us, and turned into my dark knight form as I pulled her in to me, kissing her passionately. Her lips felt warm, and her tongue felt cool. I caressed her hair, then looked into her eyes. It felt like I was staring into two galaxies.
"How many lifetimes have we been lovers?" I asked.
"Zero times infinity. Sometimes animals, sometimes friends, family, plants... Our souls always find a way to make it back to each other," she said.
"Zero times infinity? That makes nothing." I said.
"Only if you know how to multiply wrong," she said.
"How am I a young soul?"
"Young in this dimension, old in others." She danced in a circle around me. "Chaos and order, light and dark, the duality of life swirling about you, and you at the center of the nexus of the universe, the zero point in the infinity symbol, O wanderer of worlds."
"Why do I feel like I love you so much?" I asked.
"Remberances of past. You loved me fiercely in some lives, and I loved you fiercely in others. Sometimes, our love was fierce... together."
"And how about now?"
"Like an ancient seed germinating in the desert, my ancient love."
"And what about the future?"
"Is that what you desire?"
"Yes."
"Then, it will be so, beloved," and poked me in the chest playfully. She turned into her physical self, but was wearing the same beautiful long dress. I touched her forearm lightly, and walked toward her. She looked up above my head, and her eyes grew wide with fear. Her eyes began to well up with tears.
"No, the specter of the past looms above us," she whispered. She put her arm in front of her face as if warding off some invisible force, and ran away. I changed into mideavel peasant clothes, and followed her.
"No, my love! Where are you wandering? Why do you run?"
"Ah, you must leave me!" she cried. She stumbled, and fell to the ground crying. I knelt down beside her. I put my arms around her. She pushed me away. "Leave me alone! Leave me to my grief... and pain. I need to be alone." I kissed her on the head, and stood up.
"Nate," she said, between tears. She stood up, and ran into my arms.
"Don't... don't leave me right now. Ichange my mind." I held her tight, and she put her hand on my chest. She cried quietly, and I breathed deeply, focusing on slowing my heart rate to help calm her.
"You terrify me," she whispered.
"But why?" I asked. She leaned back. My heart chakra floated up out of my chest. It was a cracked heart shaped red stone, slowly spinning, and light was coming out of the cracks. Rays of light danced across her chest, making rainbow circles on her face and dress. "That's why," she said.
Her heart chakra came out of her chest. It looked the same. The two hearts merged, becoming one whole heart, then, the heart flashed away, and became a glowing white orb with a rainbow aura. Her face was reflecting the white light.
"That's why," she whispered. She grabbed at the orb, and tried to push it back into her chest. Some of the light squeezed out between her fingers and went into me.
She looked at the moonstone on my chest, and then picked it up, staring at it, then, at her own. "They match," I said softly.
"Yes," she whispered. "What do you think it means?"
"Don't you already know the answer?" I asked. "You know it's a sign."
She looked up at me. "I can never change things. I can never change the past. I can't even change the present. Look at me! I'm ugly!"
"What are you talking about? Where is this from? You're beautiful and sexy."
"No, stop it! Stop lying! I hate myself, I hate how I look! I can never be good enough! Don't you dare call me perfect. I'll slap you."
"What? I am confused. What is this all about?"
"Wounds of the past... I am just reacting. You have a way of pulling my strings."
"What? like a puppetmaster?"
"No, you tug on my heart strings... and unfortunately, some of those strings are connected to triggers that go off at strange times."
She looked up at me intently. "Your fierce love, your magic terrifies me. I wanted to come to you... You called me, and I showed up. I knew I would find you someday... But, why after I have a broken heart?"
"Maybe we all have to get our heart broken at least once, as a seed cracks its hull to sprout to the earth."
"That's terrible and lovely," she said.
"Let's sit down," I told her. "I want you to relax. May I do healing on you, Ms. Sea?"
"Of course!" She sat down on soft grass. She sat in lotus, and took a deep breath. I summoned my didjeridoo, and sat down and played in front of her. I saw a golden image grow from inside her belly outward, as black astral ticks fell off her spine into the grass, and were eaten by little frogs.
I could telepathically hear her chanting a mantra. The golden image formed a rainbow aura, and began to lift out of her. She stretched and yawned, falling asleep in a grassy meadow, and her golden body went back into her for a second. I walked around her in a circle, creating a healing vortex. Her golden body lifted out of her, and floated up into the cosmos. She was sleeping peacefully. I focused on her feet chakras, and she gently came back down into herself. She yawned and stretched, then open her eyes.
"Thank you, darlin'," she said. She pounced upon me playfully, knocking me backwards. She put her hands on my chest and pushed me down. She looked into my right eye, then my left. "You have pretty eyes," she said, "like a cat. Mrow!" She licked my face and giggled. She kissed me lightly, teasing me. I placed my hands lightly on her waist, and caressed her lower back.
"Come here, you," I said. I gently pulled her into me, and kissed her passionately.
She lied down against my chest, and whispered in my ear as she grabbed my crotch, "you are fuckin' sexy, seriously." I was really horny.
"Let's not," I said.
"Really? Why not?"
"Mm, I don't know... The time isn't right. Real sex before dream sex. Plus I don't want to freak out your subconscious. What if you don't remember the dream, but I do? Awkward!"
"Okay," she giggled. "You're sweet."
Catnaps
She put her head on my chest and closed her eyes, breathing slowly. "I can hear your heart beating," she said softly. I kissed her head, and stroked her hair. I felt so peaceful and relaxed, I fell asleep.
I awoke some time later. I was in lion-man form for some reason. She was sleeping on me like I was her bed. I smiled to myself. I summoned some blue mantra balls. They said, "I am dreaming!" Then, I summoned some orange ones that said, "I remember my dreams." They were in my hands, but, I was still tired. I let the mantra balls roll out of my hands, and wrapped my arms around Ms. Sea. I summoned a pillow for my head, and went back to sleep. I awoke because she was stirring on me. For some reason I had a vest and curly shoes on like a genie. She pet my fur on my chest. "Oh, you're a lion!" she said.
"Sometimes," I said.
She turned into a blue and white catgirl with bright green eyes. She growled at me, grinning. I gave her a couple of the mantra balls. She batted them around. I smooshed one on her face. "Hey!" she said, licking up the magic dripping down her cheek. "Mm! Pretty good!"
She lied back down on me, and closed her eyes. I could feel her purring. I purred back. "Why are we so sleepy?" she yawned.
"Cats sleep a lot... Maybe we are just soul tired."
"Mm... I like sleeping with you... You're like a soft cozy blanket," she said. She buried her face in my chest and fell asleep again. I was still tired myself, so I caressed her hair and fell back to sleep.
I awoke again, and she was in human form. She looked exactly the same way she did the last time I saw her. Very sexy. I was still a lion-man, so I changed back into human form. I made the plants grow around and underneath us to form a living bed. She started speaking sleepily with her eyes still closed.
"You feel so good. I like your energy, Nate. You're like a warm ocean blanket thingy... I can feel our energy cycling even when we're asleep."
"We are asleep right now," I said.
"What? I just woke up."
"This is a dream," I said.
"No, we were just at my cousin's house, and-" she opened her eyes. "Oh, where are we?"
"In a forest, in the Biodome, still, I think. I created a timespace bubble around us for privacy, so we could talk alone."
"What? Who are you?" she said, sitting up. I realized I had changed back into lion-man form. I changed into exactly how I looked the last time I saw her.
"Oh, I know you. You're a cutie!" she said, and grabbed my face, then kissed me.
"I am sorry... I don't have two nickels to rub together, darlin'."
"What? Where the hell did that come from? Don't apologize for the temporary. Money is not who you are, but vested energy. You know that. We have loved with and without money many times. Especially as animals!" she said. "You know we're infinite, so you can just stop that right now!"
"Infinite or immortal?" I asked.
"Both, sexy!" she said, slapping my chest with both hands. "One more nap," she said, "because sleeping with feels so good. I haven't slept this good in years!"
She lied back down on me, and as I fell asleep, I saw a blue and black, than violet and black velvety looking butterfly fly over my head.
We had a dream where we were floating in space in shavassana. Everything was serene. We were two colorful lightbodies with our heads next to each other.
I woke up, and she was a small wildcat, and I was a lion-man. She was fluffing my chest, and walking in a circle on me. "Kitty?" I said.
"Hmm?" she said, turning into her physical self. She stretched and yawned, sitting on my chest. I turned into my physical self, and she dropped about a foot. "You're a lot smaller when you're a human!" she laughed.
"I know," I said.
"What is this place?" she asked looking around at the forest, and the blue sky.
"I am pretty sure this is the Biodome, still. Oh, we are still in that timespace bubble. I am going to close it now."
"Okay," she said. I changed into lion-man sorcerer form, and the bubble went into my scepter. We were near the koi pond.
Raven and Ms. Sea
"Oh, there you are!" said Raven. "Ready to heal- oh, who's your friend?" she asked.
"Ms. Sea," I said.
"Hi," said Raven, putting out her hand. Ms. Sea threw her arms around Raven's neck and hugged her.
"I like you," said Ms. Sea. "I like your energy." Raven blushed. Ms. Sea let her go. "So where are you guys going? What are you doing?"
"We are going to do healing on Raven's friend."
"Cool," said Ms. Sea. "Well, I am going to explore this nifty moonscape thingy you got here. Pretty amazing!"
"Okay, I smiled." She wandered off.
The Party Pooper
I changed into lion-man superhero form. Raven looked at me. I nodded. She created a portal. Basara showed up, and someone else that I didn't notice because they came through right behind me. I was in the wormhole. I looked behind me. "Sorna?" I thought. She was flying right behind me. "I am going to seal the deal, in case you need back up," she said telepathically.
We landed on the other side in Alicia's room. There was some strange looking person shooting golden and white energy out of his hands into Alicia's head. He was wearing a suit, with some strange apparatus on his chest, like an electronic box. He had mechanical wings folded behind him. I saw a strange large black ball floating through the energy. It looked solid and wrong. It was wrapped in golden energy, but I could see it. It was moving slowly through his arch toward Alicia. I growled at the the man. He looked at me nervously. "Who's your kitty friend?" he said to Raven. I knocked the black ball out of the arch of energy. It went through the wall, and landed in the ground outside. It was like a black bubble bursting. A bunch of nasty green worms squiggled out of it. I leapt at him, tackling him into the yard. He teleported behind me, and stabbed me in the back of my head with a small dagger. I growled, and grabbed his arm. I threw him forward, slamming him on the ground. I shot out my astral tentacles at him, trapping him so he couldn't teleport.
"What are you doing?" said Raven. "Stop! Enough!"
"This creature cannot be trusted!" I said.
I felt Michael, my angel, come out of me. "You have dishonored our Order, brother," he said. I have never felt Michael angry. Ever. Michael slowly grew in size, and became enwreathed in red flame. He drew his sword, and his eyes glowed white hot. He transformed into a great white dragon, with elements of gold. He had hands on his forelegs. His eyes were like two rubies. One his forehead was a gem that kept changing colors.
"The Curse of the Angels be upon you, Heathen!" he said, and his voice sounded like the burning of a thousand fires, and a thousand waterfalls roaring in anger. He stood up on his hind legs, and picked the Templar up with one hand. Michael roared, "RAAAAAAA!" and blew lightning and red flame on the Templar. He shook convulsively, and burst into flames. The Templar became a glowing skeleton.
"Do you see his true form?" he said to me. I nodded. Michael grabbed him with both hands, and ripped him in half. Two portals formed in the sky, Selene's great eyes. Michael tossed one half in each portal. Both halves screamed as they tumbled into it. I saw the halves in the wormholes try to come back the other way. Sorna appeared and sealed the portals with a beam of purple and white energy, like she was cauterizing them. Then, a giant needle appeared, and sewed them up. I felt Selene's presence in the night sky. "Thanks, dear," I said, and sent love energy to her. Sorna alighted next to me. I gave her a hug. Michael and I were breathing heavily. He changed back into angel form.
"I didn't know you could do that!" I said.
He changed into a white gargoyle, a dragon-man with golden claws, and ruby eyes. "How about this?" he said.
"Whoah!" then, he stepped into me, merging with me. I returned to the room. I felt Michael seal up the wound on the back of my head. Raven and Basara were doing healing on Alicia. Raven had golden energy flowing out of her, Basara was using green, and I opened my hands, and used cooling blue energy. We stood in a triangle, and the energy swirled around Alicia, and formed a vortex, going down into her. Little bugs crawled off of her and ran away. Rats appeared and ate all the bugs up. A portal opened, and Ms. Sea Sea flew out, and someone else that I did not recognize. A woman in red armor. I trusted her energy. Ms. Sea began singing and chanting. Purple energy flowed out of her, and red flowed out of the unknown woman, as she uttered a guttural Tibetan throat singing chant. Her armor became a brown robe. We stood in a pentagon. The energy connected between all of us, forming a pentagon, then extruded upwards, forming a pentagonal prism, then, down past Alicia, and swirled into a vortex. Light came down from the sky, and went into the lines of the prism vortex. There was a flash of light, and everything was over.
Steam was rising from our skin.
The woman in the brown robe pulled her hood back. She was a brown wolf with red eyes. "Who are you?" I asked.
Nightwolf
"Saberwolf sent me, as a measure of good will. I am his sister, Nightwolf," she said. "He wants your friend there to visit him again. He is wrestling with demons in his Inner World." Saberwolf disappeared in a flash of light. There was a strange necklace floating in the air. It was leather with a red teardrop shaped pendant on it. There was a small black image of a wolf on it, that changed to the face of a saber-toothed tiger. Raven reached out to take it, and as soon as she touched it, it floated over her head, and rested on her neck. Raven looked at the gem, then at me.
"Whoah," I said. Raven kissed it, then tucked it in the folds of her garment. "Let's go back," she said. I nodded. She created a portal, and we were back in the Biodome.
Playing with dragons and faries
A bunch of people were talking to the green dragon, Valkyr. He was laying down on his belly with a silly grin on his face. He reminded me of Pablo's dream guide. There were three little girls clambering over him, and sliding down his back on to his neck. MoSh was lifting the girls on the the dragon's back. Every time one of them slid down, he giggled like he was being tickled.
"Your friend is popular," I said to Ms. Sea Sea. "Oh, he's such an attention whore! He just loves attention, kinda like you. Nah, just kidding, more like me."
"More like both of us?" I laughed.
"Yeah," she said, and smacked my butt. "Hey, let's put on a play!" she said.
"Okay! Hey, I know another actor!" I said. I put my fingers in my mouth to whistle.
Pixy appeared. "You rang, my dove?" she said.
"Look, three actors and a dragon! Let's put on a play!" I said.
"Are you serious?" said Raven. "A play within a dream?"
"Yes!" I said.
"Awesome!" Raven laughed. "Do it!"
We walked to the stage. Raven summoned a bunch of theater seats for the people. She multiplied herself and ushered people into the seats. I thought that was hilarious. Then, she summoned popcorn and passed it out. "Don't worry about making a mess. It will probably just grow popcorn trees, anyway." I laughed harder.
I summoned a wooden set of a grey tower with an arch in it. "Who am I?" said Ms. Sea.
"Um, Rapunzel?" I said.
"Yes, always," she said. She teleported into the tower, and her long brown hair grew and fell to the floor, changing to blond. There was a cheesy wooden castle set that looked like it was painted by children. I got on Valkyr, and changed into a silvery knight. I rode up to the castle wall. Pixy appeared, and changed her form to look like an ogre. We reenacted the battle I had with the ogre in Jean Rae's dream. We made it ridiculous, like a cartoon. Everyone laughed. Valkyr blew green and orange fire, and the whole set burned down. Ms. Sea fell to the floor of the stage. "Hey!" she said to Valkyr. She summoned a raincloud to put out the fire. Valkyr shrugged sheepishly as the cloud rained on us. The four of us held hands and bowed, soaking wet. Everyone was laughing uproariously.
"Wow, dreaming with you is so fun!" said Ms. Sea, and gave me a big kiss. Everyone applauded, and the dream faded to black, as I went into a deeper sleep.
