Thread: Nomad Chronicles

I stand up and stretch. Angel is lying in bed beside me. I am a golden Paladin. I crack my neck. There is a large archdemon standing at the foot of the bed.

"Who the fuck are you?"

"Dammit, I'm Daygawn!"

"What the hell?"

"Hell, exactly. I am a shapeshifter, like you, king-brother."

"Hell is the Land of Tranquil Light."

"Yes, hell-brother. The four of us are Hades."

"You are serious?"

"Don't you remember? Dammit! Why don't people from your dimension remember anything?"

"We bifurcated our dream and waking lives many years ago, fearing nightmares, but even more so, fearing truth."

"Don't you realize that dreams are as real as waking? DON'T YOU GET IT?"

"Yes, you asshole!"

"Hey fuck you. Look into my mirror."

Daygawn has a strange staff which grows a mirror on it. My face morphs to a bat-person, then a demon with dark red skin. I grin at my reflection.

Then, Daygawn shows me a scene of he and I as demons fighting legions of angels in a burnt out landscape.

"WHat the hell?"

"Hell indeed. Look further."

Suddenly, I am in the dream, reliving it. I have a one-handed axe, and a mace, wearing an iron helmet, breastplate, boots, and animal skin around my waist. I am a bulky creature with two bull horns. The angels have swords and shields mostly.

I feel a rush of power, rage, and glee, as I tear through the angels. I hear Gawn's voice in my head. "Charge through to the heart of the archdemon!"

I obey, and form a V of demons. All the angels have silver cords stuck in their backs. They are puppets. We slice some of the cords along the way to the Puppetmaster. It is Nevergawn. He is laughing telepathically. I throw my axe into his chest.

The other demons and I fan out, slicing the silver cords, then all charge Nevergawn. We maul him, slicing and bashing him. He becomes tiny, the size of a fly, creates a tiny portal and gets away. We slice all the cords going into the portal. The angels collapse, and some hit their heads. A strange red light in their eyes disappears.

I see Metatron gathering the angels in a net, and taking them away. He nods to me. The battle is over.

The vision fades.

I am now with Daygawn on the Mountain by the Sacred Pool (where Angel and I always talk.)

He leads me to the pool. We look into it. Our faces morph into many forms...

I see us as brothers, lovers, enemies, father and son, mother and daughter... through so many lifetimes and dimensions.

"Such is the nature of existence of ALL," Daygawn says. "Now, LOOK INTO MY EYES."

I feel like we are nothing and everything. My body explodes into atoms and reforms into a planet. I am as tiny as a speck of Nothing, and the Universe all at the same time. I am every person, every star, every animal, plant, stone, emptiness.... and also nothing at all.

We are back in the Biodome.

Daygawn gives me a strange wafer. There are small nanobots crawling on it. He tells me to eat it. I do.

He says it will help my waking and dreaming memory. He howls strangely. Raven steps out from some woods. She runs to him and kisses him. They fly into the sky and disappear.

I wake up.

FA

I am in MoSh's house. He says things are fucked up. We go through his house killing rats. We have things on our backs like the Ghostbusters. He asks me why They keep invading. I tell him it's probably because of The Child. We clean house in that place. We play Mortal Kombat versus Street Fighter on his TV. I say I hate Mortal Kombat. He says how about Starcraft?

Shit. I am waking up for real this time. Next dream, MoSH!

I am at a Network Marketing meeting with MoSh. We are drinking coffee. There are all kinds interdimensional people there. I think it's a bunch of bullshit. MoSh says it's an AA meeting. I laugh my ass off.

What the hell? What's the fuck? Seriously. I keep laughing. Some people give testimonies. I feel bad for laughing. It's still funny, though.

I run madly through a cornfield at night. I am FUCKING TERRIFIED. I feel there is a mass murderer in the cornfield that with a knife that wants to eat my soul. I am some crazy chimera rabbit creature. I stick a bunch of signs that say, "This way is down!" with a down arrow. I feel desperate to get the message across to someone I don't know.

I see the man with a bloody kitchen knife. A hole opens before him. I kick him in the chest and say, "Hey fuck you!"

I jump into the hole, and close it above me. I change into a rabbit and run down to my Inner World.

Pixy is there. She heals my wounds.

Raven is standing on the Moon, looking at the earth. I stand next to her, and grab her hand. She is surprised. She says she thought I hated her. I tell that's silly and give her a big bear hug.

I turn into a bear. She laughs. I did it by mistake.

N: Let's wake up, how we did when we were kids.

R: I don't remember.

R: Here, hold my hand. Now, jump!

We jump off the Moon, and fly back to Earth. When we get back to the sky, we hug and wave goodbye, and go back to our physical bodies.

Abstract dream of me as a 1000 Daystars laughing at 1000 Timelyst Knights. Everything and everyone in the Universe is laughing. I turn into an atom. I feel full of joy.

I am dancing at a live DNB group performance with Cygnus. We turn into Jaguars and roar at the Moon. We battle each other. It's a draw. We turn into music, then we are giant orange koi swimming in the ocean. Then we turn into tiger sharks. We battle again, to the beat of the music. Poseidon laughs at us.

Loving my Enemies

Healing P

I went to the Containment Unit with Raven. I told her I was going in alone. She asked me if I would be okay. I said, "Yes, Michael's inside of me right now. I'll be fine."

P's Inner World.

Healing the Prince of Darkness

Dreaming his dream for empathy.

P dream

(abridged)

I go to the Containment Unit. Raven cautions me about going in alone to heal P. I'll be fine, I tell her. He is smashing a dead rabbit's head. I tell him it's a part of him. He says it isn't. He shoots dark energy at me. I channel it out into the cosmos, which pisses him off.

He says I can't heal him. I say I am going into his Inner World. He says no. I say he doesn't have a choice. He's a dark energy addict.

I go into his third eye. My witchblade forms around me. There are hundreds of P's being tortured by hundreds of other P's. All the angry P's turn to me to attack me. I form them into a ball. The tortured ones thank me. I tell them I am going to merge them. I merge them together. I take the angry P ball and I tell the other one I am going to put them together. They look horrified. I cleanse the dark energy out from the angry one. The tortured one is still afraid of the angry ball. I put it in a glass pyramid. Q says he's going to study it.

I do healing on the tortured one. He turns into a little crying boy. I pick him up, and take him to a dark cave where he will be safe. Demons leer at us along the way. I blast them passively with fire and lightning from my head. The Frost Giant AKA Crystal Golem AKA Stone Golem sends and aspect of himself into the cave to heal him. He tells me they must eventually merge, and his soul is bifurcated.

****

Healing the Prince of Darkness (abridged)

I go into the other Dome. Raven cautions me. I say I must go in alone, Metatron is inside me, and Michael has merged with me. She nods.

Neil is running around killing animals indiscriminately. I tell him they are aspects of himself. He spits in my face. I burn it off with heat from my skin. He says, "Cool parlor trick," then he shoots me with flaming dark energy, like burning tar. I transform into Steam, Angel's dream lover. The Greek Fire has no effect and slides off. I shoot a web at him, trapping him, then I turn it into fiberglass. He pounds at it, and begins to freak out. He says he's claustrophobic.

I tell him I am there to heal him. He says I am evil because I trapped him. I let him out. He attacks me. I turn on my energy shield. Everything bounces off. My energy shield begins to weaken. I turn on my Intelli-metal armor. It's indestructible. Spikes shoot out wherever he attacks. The spikes pierce him as he flies around attacking. He wears out.

He attacks me verbally. I meditate. Om. I expand my aura outside of the shield. He says I cannot heal him because I don't understand him. I have to feel his pain first. I say fine. Raven says no. I say it's okay.

Neil produces a scarab in his palm. He says it's his pain. He says to place it on my forehead.

I am dreaming his dream, but I dream it through the filter of my life. I lose all lucidity.

I am a teenager, having sex with a random girl in a bedroom and house I don't recognize. She gets up and leaves. Another girl walks in, and I have sex with her. I feel completely dispassionate and bored. She gets up and leaves. I feel like I am doing it just to feel something, as if sex is a drug. I feel numb, as if I am grieving.

My father walks in and yells at me. I feel like I want to kill myself to get revenge for him being such an asshole. I ignore him, and turn on the TV in my bedroom. (I never had a TV in any bedroom.)

He changes the channel. There is a news show, showing a bunch of dead bodies. It terrifies me. He says I have to watch. I try to change the channel or turn the TV off. He says I have to watch. The remote doesn't work. He took the batteries out. I try to get up and change it manually. He is standing between me and the TV. He says death is part of life. Look at all the dead bodies.

I am afraid of him. He has a crazed look on his face, like he could kill me at any moment. I freak out, and scream at him to leave me alone. My sisters walk in the room. They start crying. They cry so much mucous pours out of their noses. I feel embarrassed for them. I want to hit my father, but I am too afraid that he might kill me if I do.

I wake up.

I forget everything that happened in the lucid part of the dream until a few minutes after I wake up, because of the nightmare. I feel strangely dissociated from the nightmare, then I remember why: I was dreaming someone else's dream.

The Search for Silverwolf

Raven told me Silverwolf was having nightmares. This always pisses me off. *cracks knuckles*

I leapt out of bed. I am Ion Supreme, Green Lantern. I shove my ring into my Lantern, and charge it up.

SHBAM!

Nomad? Nomad?

I am on the Moon. Raven looks at me funny. Nomad? Is that a new form. What? I am just a Green Lantern. Do you think I look cool?

What? A lantern... huh?

Nevermind. Let's go kick some ass!

MoSh flies through a portal. He's a Naga with a Templar in his mouth. He spits him out. What are we doing?

Kicking some ass. Silverwolf has been having nightmares.

WarriorTiger appears. So does mowglycdb, and Steam. Steam and I bow to each other and merge.

There are others too numerous to name.

Raven opens a portal. We go to the cottage. It looks old and decrepit. We go inside. Pixy is a creepy zombie. Hello, my love!

Fuck, you! Love this! K-CHAK! I turn my arm into a shotgun, and blow her head off. Her head reforms. I turn my other arm into a chainsaw, and cut her up.

The others use machines like Ghostbusters to attack these beetles crawling everywhere.

Me: This is a fake Pixy!

Raven: This is a fake cottage! Dammit, my portal isn't working! What the hell?

Q busts through the portal.

We are in the real cottage. Pixy is crying. I give her a hug. The place is ransacked. The Warwolves appear. They are pissed.

For the Queen!

Gawn appears. He puts me on a leash. He opens a portal. Sic'em boy!

Nevergawn is controlling a bunch of puppets on a burnt out landscape. They look like angels/demons/zombies/vampires.

What the fuck?

We go to battle, we cut the cords. Nevergawn is pissed. Gawn laughs.

WarriorTiger changes into a phoenix, then, she looks like Jean Grey, she throttles Nevergawn. Spikes come out of her hand into his neck. Where is she?!!

Gawn shoots an iron clamp on Nevergawn's neck.

We follow WT to a creepy dungeon. Silverwolf is being tormented by demons. It's time to fight! I'm not a fighter. Yes, you are. WEREWOLF ARISE!

Silverwolf changes into a werewolf, and breaks her chains. The demons tremble in fear. We kick their asses and raze their castle to the ground. We take Silverwolf back to the Biodome. Her eyes are glowing red. We do healing on everyone. We all fall asleep.



...

(to be continued)

Awesome dreams...as always! Btw, I had a dream where I flew on Seine and orbited around the moon. I saw several people standing on the surface, but as I flew in to land...I had a FA. Haven't typed the dream up yet, but it'll be up sooner or later. I also took the moon bus in my second attempt...It was a close call as well. I keep getting closer

Meditation

I talk to Angelina, and all my dream lovers. We are everything, nothing. Angelina keeps saying, "See how cosmic I am?"

We become plant people. Everything moves into everything else.

I was in a gymnasium. I saw an old friend of mine who doesn't talk to me any more, D. He was in the corner, facing the wall, in a crumpled heap.

D? Is that you? I touched him. He didn't respond. I pulled his shoulder, and laid him down on his back. D? You okay?

He was semi-conscious. Are you drunk? He doesn't smell like alcohol. He smells like puke. Oh, you puked. He is covered in muddy water. I wipe it off with paper towels. Someone watches me. I don't care if people think I look gay. I've been friends with this guy for 23 years. I don't care that he doesn't talk to me any more. Friends are friends.

I wake up depressed. I hope he's okay.

(sorry about the tense changes)

I see Raven and MoSH on the Moon. I ask them if they want to learn kung fu. Raven says no. MoSH says yes.

I go to my friend, Michael's dream.

He is sitting in a round grass hut on stilts, smoking out of a long pipe. It's not tobacco, it's an unknown herb. He tells me it's medicine for shamans. He offers it to me. I refuse. I tell him I just want to learn kung fu.

I tell him I have a friend outside the hut. He says he knows.

He has us train on Wing Chun wooden dummies. Then, he attacks us both, then one at a time telling the other to watch. He says to MoSh: so you think you know kung fu, eh? And laughs.

He says my kung fu sucks, but at least MoSh knows. I blast Michael with fire, and he laughs at swallows it, and blows it at me. I use my Whiplash boomerang and fire it back at him. I cut him in have with a my steel fiery boomerang. He looks down in mock dismay, laughs and reforms.

He changes into Hanuman, and multiplies. He throws a bunch of random objects at me. I throw them back. I realize he's doing the same thing to MoSh. We begin breaking the objects.

A gong sounds. A monkey runs up to Michael, and perches on his shoulder. Michael says the lesson is complete. We bow to each other.

Back to the Biodome.

I tell Raven I fell asleep really early last night, because I stayed up late at the Full Moon drum circle. Oh, right, I forgot about that. You do that every Full Moon?

Yes.

Cool.

Let's do group healing, we need it.

We all do group healing.

Yaay.

Angelina and Angel appear riding big cats. They say they get it now. I say I understand everything now. Angelina laughs and says not everything, no one does, but yes, I do understand so much more. They merge, and we go through a portal to a tropical mountain. I feel like we are in Atlantis. Angelina says no, Mu.

We are riding big cats. She tells me to run my cat, and leap off the cliff. I am hesitant. She tells me to trust her. I do it. My cat sprouts wings. I ask my cat who he is. He says Guargawn of course. He has dreadlocks and snakes on his head. He laughs.

Angel/Angelina and I fly through the sky, and swoop down into the jungle. It feels like Pandora. We land, and place a blanket on the ground, and lie down on it. Selene appears and falls alseep into Angel, then Steam falls down into me, and our lovers from other dimensions and times. I thought I would feel chaotic, but I feel whole, which confuses me, just a little. I kiss Angel, and fall asleep.

I am in Angel's Inner World. We are in her castle in the throne room. It's being overrun with demons. I am attacking them with my sword. She looks haggard. My armor is dented and beat up. Angel is doing some magic, but she's weak.

"Where the hell did these bastards come from?" Angel asks.

"Shit! We created them. They're just dream characters."

"You mean they are aspects of us?"

"Yes, our inner darkness. We are just beating ourselves up here."

"How do we stop?"

"Let's leave, and assess the situation."

I grab Angel and we fly above the castle. Demons are swarming over it like ants.

"I hate those things! What should we do?"

"We need to absorb them."

"NO!"

"It's just part of you. When we make peace with our darkness, then we can control it. Suppressing or ignoring our darkness is not going to make it go away. We have to acknowledge it, so we can see it, and control it. Trust me."

"Okay."

"You absorb yours, I'll absorb mine."

"How do i do that?"

"Eat them."

"Okay."

Angel's mouth becomes huge, and she eats all her demons. I see an archdemon buried waist deep outside the castle, wielding The Beast.

I tell him I am going to absorb him. He says he's a separate entity. I tell him bullshit, why are you wielding my club?

He hides it behind his back, and blushes. I tell him: You're mine, Mr. Rage.

I crouch down, and absorb him into me. My eyes burn red with fire.

Angel's castle is free of demons. She looks healthy.

Both our eyes have red flames in the pupils. I tell her to allow her flame to constantly burn, instead of suppressing it.

We are back in the jungle. Angel stretches. I ask her if she remembers the dream. She says what dream. I say the dream we just had.

She says no. Are we dreaming now?

I say yes. She says, Oh really?

*censored*

I am back in that damn cornfield. I am a rabbit-man, all white. I slam signs into the ground with down arrows. The signs say different things, "THIS WAY OUT. GTFO. OUT. EXIT. GO HERE. U DOWN? GET UNDERGROUND. GO DOWN THE HOLE."

I feel a menacing presence. I am looking for someone. Who is it? Is she okay?

I hear someone tearing through the cornfield. He has a shotgun and a machete. I hear the machete slicing the cornstalks. I hear him jack around on the shotgun.

Oh, it's Queen Zukin, right. Oh, fuck here he is. There is a hole behind me to jump down.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY DREAM BOY? THIS IS WHERE I BRING PEOPLE TO HAVE NIGHTMARES, AND YOU'RE NOT SCARED ENOUGH. I AM GOING TO RAPE YOUR FUCKING SOUL NOW, BITCH."

He shoots me in the head. I feel confused. I feel no pain, I can see. I have no head. I grow a zombie head in its place.

He looks a little scared. He chops my head off. I grow two long neck dragon heads.

"Dammit! What did Hercules do?"

"Who the hell are you?"

"I am just a guy who likes to make people have nightmares. They call me Swift."

"Swift? Why swift?"

"Because I swiftly yank people into my nightmare world without their knowing. I am just using this as inspiration for horror films I am trying to write."

"But, you are doing it with real people."

"I know."

"How about I give you a nightmare?"

"NO!"

"Ah, what a coward you are."

I change into a grotesque bloated spider covered in eyes, with six legs and two arms. Venom drips from my mouth.

"You sick bastard!!! Get the fuck away from me!"

I run slowly through the cornfield, chasing him. He looks at me, and runs in slow motion.

"What an idiot! Oldest trick in the book!"

I make my upper body move slowly, but my feet are moving faster. He runs slower every time he looks over my shoulder.

"Oh, don't trip!"

He trips. I laugh and pounce on him. He whimpers. I pick him up and look at him.

"Don't eat me!"

"Oh, I love to eat nightmares. They are delicious!"

I drop him into my mouth, and poop him out. He's covered in green dust. "What's this?"

"Fairy dust."

"What? I am not gay!"

"But, now you can fly!"

"What?"

I change into Peter Pan. "You can fly, you can fly, you can fly!"

I grab his hand, and we fly.

"This is kind of fun!"

"See you don't have to give people nightmares anymore."

"Well maybe I do-"

I burp and spiders crawl out of my mouth.

"You sure about that?"

"No! I mean, yes! No more nightmares!"

"Good."

I draw the spiders back into my mouth.

Queen Zukin flies by on a cloud. She has a paddle, and is using it for a rudder. There are stylized Chinese dogs running alongside. I wave at her. She doesn't notice.

Interesting... I was flying around on a cloud last night in a non-lucid. I thought I had suddenly realized a cloud could be solid enough to ride. I was paddling the cloud like a boat, my mom got mad at me for doing that, so I left the house and did it outside. It was fun.

Oh, maybe that was you, but I thought it was Queen Zukin because I was in the cornfield. Oh, it was you. HAHA.

I meet Angel on the Moon. I ask her if we can see her wizard father for magic training she says yes.

We go to him. She introduces me to him. He says he is too tired and sad to train me. I say I understand. I give him a hug. Angel gives him a hug and cries. He goes to sleep.

Do you know what's wrong with him? Does he need healing?

As for magic, there are more spells I can show you, and Q knows sever people who could teach you different kinds of magic.

It's too personal to show here.

But, anyway, I went to him because he does magic in waking life, so, I wanted to see what I could learn from him in a dream.

I know I have a lot more to learn from you and others, and I am looking forward to it.

I arise out of bed. I am a cyborg vampire Jaguar-god. My eyes are red. I get hit with a dart in the back of my head. It feels like an insect sting. Nanobots are released into my bloodstream. I don't realize at the time. The nanobots sing: forget, forget, forget.

I hop in my spaceship, Future's Hope, and fly to The Land of Nod on the Moon. There is a strange darkness growing and flowing through the land.

I land on the floor of the jungle. Shamans step out of the darkness. They tell me the land needs a purging. One of the shamans, calling himself Nicholas, says I have a parasite. I twitch and tell him I am fine. He turns into a jaguar and pounces on me. Four other shamans pounce on me. They pour a bitter medicine down my throat. The nanobots drain from my ear.

Nicholas examines me. We create tornadoes, to purge the land. Raven, MoSh, WarriorTiger, and Pablo land. They ask if I need help. I tell them what we are doing. They use different elements to purge the land.

The conch shell alarm blasts in the City of Nowhere. We fly there. The City is being attacked again by strange shadow creatures. They say they are The Black Fist. I say I don't give a shit.

Allies come. We kick ass. I invoke Angel's Fury.

We win. Raven tells me I need healing. I say I'm fine. I go feral and run into the jungle. I come upon a strange statue. It looks like a demonic jaguar god. He says "I AM FORGET, BITCH! MY PLAN IS WORKING!"

I attack the statue. It laughs at me. I summon two steel hammers to smash it. They bounce off.

Raven appears. "Nomad? You look wild."

The statue turns into dust and invades my lungs. I growl at Raven and twitch. "You're sick."

I turn into a full jaguar and pounce at her. She turns into a jaguar and smacks my head and deflects the attack. I turn into a human and say sorry. I shapeshift uncontrollably. WarriorTiger and MoSh appear. They try to hold me down. The shamans reappear, and tie me to a tree.

Raven doesn't trust them. They say they are my brothers, and they are going to help.

We go to my Inner World. There is a demon there, smashing everything with The Beast. It looks like me, it is me. It says, I am Will Forget. I summon my Budgie Sword, and fuse it with the Moonblade, and Witchblade. I slice the demon into many pieces and eat it like sushi.

I tell myself, I will remember this dream. I shoot mantra balls out of me in all directions.

We leave my Inner World. We are back in the Land of Nod. I cough. The statue dust comes out of me, and reforms. Now it looks like a demonic angelic cat god. It says, "I am Will Remember."

I place an offering of fruit at the base of the statue. He kicks it into his mouth and eats it. He says he is the guardian to Deep Memories, memories of dreams from this lifetime, from ancient lifetimes, and from more recent lifetimes. He says there is an underground pyramid and he guards the secret passageway to it. The pyramid has a direct link to the Akashic Records.

He says now it's time to wake up. I see the others are talking to statues that look like their Beast Selves. Raven is talking to a jaguar, WarriorTiger is talking to a Wolf, and MoSh is talking to a Naga.

We are back in the Biodome. We sit up from sleeping in the healing glen. "Were we just dreaming?" we ask each other.

"We were dreaming a dream within a dream!"

Dammit, I wish I could use magic IWL!

I am on my asteroid, Q10 in my workshop. Sacrosanct is watching me work. Sarnox is playing with a magic yo-yo lazily. He tells me he is bored.

"Hey, I got infected with nanobots. Are you going to patrol my bloodstream? Didn't think so."

I cut my hand on a tool, and throw it in frustration. Sacrosanct gives it back to me.

"You're getting obsessed. Calm down."

"NO! I have to make it right. I have to do this, NOW! I AM TIRED OF BEING ATTACKED IN A MYRIAD OF WAYS, Q! I just want to have defense for everything negative in the universe."

"The universe is infinite."

"I know that, asshole!"

"You are infected with dark energy."

"I know! Why do you think-" I get pissed and overturn the table.

Pixy appears. She looks worried. She gives me a potion to drink. It's glowing red. She says it's Sereni-Tea combined with Life Potion she got from Link. I drink it. I feel peaceful and clean. Dark energy seeps out of my pores. Sacrosanct whisks it way. I give Pixy a hug and a kiss. I cover Q10 with dirt and grow plants on it. Sarnox asks me why. I say for decoration. Sarnox plants giant colorful flowers and summons giant butterflies.

I am in front of my mirror in my meditation room in my Living House in the Biodome on the Moon.

I am stabbing Tesla coils into my head at angles. The Tesla coils form a force field around my dream body. I stab some more into my feet. Angel walks in.
"Cool room! You know- What the hell are you doing?"

"I am protecting myself. I need more defenses! Too much dark energy! Too many enemies! Myself, though... how do I protect us from my own darkness?"

"We all have inner darkness, Nomad."

"No! I want to be clean and pure! I hate the night."

"Night is a cycle, birth, death, day, it's all one."

"Yeah, thanks for the philosophical bullshit. I know."

Angel starts to cry.

"Shit! Sorry." I try to hug her. She pushes me away.

"No, leave me alone." She disappears.

I teleport to the healing glen and I morph into many tiny snakes. I go back into myself, and fall asleep.

I am sitting with Michael in my Inner World. I tell him "Let's rid me of darkness once and for all."

"Impossible, you are yin-yang, just like everything else in the universe."

"NO! I WANT TO BE PURE!"

Michael gives me a hug. I see all the dark deeds he has done in the past. It terrifies me. I see all the goodness he has done.

"No one is pure good, not even angels."

I feel Michael healing me. I start crying. I wake up in the healing glen. Michael is sitting next to me, smiling kindly. He caresses my forehead like a father. He kisses my forehead, and says I have a fever. He gives me a cool drink of water.

Raven appears. Michael tells her I am sick, but I'll be okay.

I am in Juargawn form. I am dancing to dubstep in the Land of Nod in the jungle.

Raven appears. She asks what I am doing. I say, "dancing to dubstep in the Jungle of Nothing."

She asks me what the hell that means.

"I am sweating my impurities out!" I growl.

"Are you lucid, Nomad?"

"NO!"

I turn into a jaguar. "Let's go hunting, sister!"

"For what?"

"Oh, birds, mammals, fish, whatever flesh we can eat. Humans, even, maybe."

"What's wrong with you?"

"I AM JUARGAWN, GOD OF NOTHING! I CLAIM THE MOON FOR ME AND MY MOON PEOPLE! I AM GOING TO TURN THE MOON GREEN! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

I become Godzilla size. I am huge jaguar-god. I morph into many anthro-forms: shark, octopus, spider, ant, dog, wolf, saber-toothed tiger. I become a plant person. I grow plants like mad everywhere. The Land of Nod expands, and becomes the size of a continent.

"This is too much for us to patrol, Nomad!"

"We are WILD AND FREE! HAHAHAHAHA!" I make small clones of myself. They orbit me. I run through the jungle eating plants and animals, laughing maniacally. They flow out of me and become other forms.

"We are links in the Circle of Life!"

I summon two great spires, shooting up from the earth. Two obsidian thrones appear on the spires.

Raven is flying behind me, "What are you doing?"

"Ah, now you are a Jaguar also, dear sister! Embrace your Beast Self!"

"No, I am- oh!"
Raven look at herself. She is a winged black jaguar. "But, I am not going to sit in that throne."
I grab Raven by the scruff of her neck. She goes limp like a cub. I place her in the throne. She opens her eyes. "Oh!"

I sit on the other throne. "We are Lord and Lady of the Jaguars. We call our brothers and sisters to us."

We roar, with the sound of a thousand thunders. Jaguar dreamers emerge from the forest. Some are in anthro form, some full jaguar. Some have various strange and unusual weapons. Some have robes on, and wizard hats. Some have armor, some are cyborgs. A couple are androids. One or two have plant bodies, Some have elemental bodies, but are in jaguar shapes. We all roar together. Darkness and Light shoots out of us. Birds in the jungle startle and fly into the sky.

"Here is our haven, this is our land, We claim this land for us, the Jaguar People. This is our domain, here we are WILD AND FREE!"

One of the cyborg jaguar shoots at everyone. We all attack each other madly. It's pure chaos. We stop fighting. We lick each others' wounds. Some of jaguars leave. Others build little houses, mostly grass huts. Some grow big trees. We all go to sleep.

I see Mama Jaguar. She is telling me she is displeased with me. I tell her what did I do that was so wrong. She tells me I proclaimed myself a god. I tell her I am a god in the dream plane. She calls me a fool. I leap at her face. It's just an illusion. I tell her to show her true self. The illusion fades. I see a strange woman crouching in a fetal position. She looks like a zombie-vampire. I am about to attack, but I see a puppet string. I cut the cord.

The Bitch appears. "Oh, stop reappearing."

"I am her sister, you idiot!"

I smack her face with my paw. She claws my back. My witchblade forms over as she does it, and cuts her fingertips off. She howls in pain. I grab her by the neck, and toss her into a portal into Hell.

I go to the sick woman. I do healing on her. She says it's no use. I give her a golden potion to drink. It looks like honey. Black stuff comes off of her. I tell her she needs more healing.

Her image wavers, and she wakes up. "Damn."

I wake up. I am sleeping next to Angel on a blanket in the Jungle of Nothing.

"What the hell? Where's Raven? Was that all just a dream?"

"Go back to sleep. Stop talking to yourself, Nate."

I am confused and disoriented. What the hell just happened? Where am I?

Michael appears and says, "Fear not!"

BOOM!

I am awakened to two large heavy wooden headboards falling to the floor. I am calm.
