Thread: Raven Knight's Dream Travels

I fell asleep into my usual WILD. The first order of business was to exchange healing energy with Nomad. I thought he might be at his temple pretending to be a god of nothing that lives nowhere. That idea made me chuckle. A god of nothing… I focused on going to the temple.

I found myself in a place I didn't recognize. It looked like the interior of a temple. I thought that meant I was close to where I would find Nomad. I walked down a passage and into a larger room. There were some people there. I didn't recognize them. Something about them didn't even look real. They were DC's. Just NPC's in Nomad's RPG. There were four of them. They all fell to their knees and started bowing to me.

"What the…" I said, surprised, "Get up! Don't bow to me!"

"The great Juargwan commands us to bow," one of them said and they continued bowing. I found that to be awkward. I stepped between two of them and headed down the passage before they could follow me. I entered the main chamber of the temple. There was a throne in the middle of the room. A big jaguar man was sleeping on it. He was curled into a ball. The DC's I thought I'd left behind caught up with me and resumed bowing to me. I moved away from them and went over to the throne where who I assumed was Nomad was curled up. I climbed up to the throne. I was about to touch his shoulder to wake him up when he jumped up and snarled at me. I took a startled step backwards and fell off of the top step of the throne. I would have fallen on my ass if it hadn't been for the DC's who had been bowing to me. They caught me and held me up until I regained my balance.

"What'd you do that for?!" I asked Nomad as he was laughing. I climbed back up the stairs and pulled a Gibbs on Nomad (Jethro Gibbs from NCIS, to pull a Gibbs is to smack someone playfully on the back of the head). I asked him if he even knew how to be serious. He asked where I'd left my sense of humor. I turned around and saw the DC's were bowing to me again… or maybe they were bowing to Nomad. I couldn't tell. I told Nomad I was there so we could exchange healing spells. He said ok. I used Full Moonlight to cleanse out any dark energy he might have come across. Golden energy flowed through Nomad and cleaned out some disgusting looking bugs. The bowing DC's followed them and stepped on them. Nomad played his didgeridoo. I felt pure energy flowing through me now. More disgusting black things came out. The only difference was mine was created internally. The DC's crushed those bugs as well.

Nomad stepped off of his throne and went over to a mirror. He said he was going to get in touch with that woman he'd told me about. I said ok. I was about to leave. I used Through the Never and focused on finding MoSh. A portal opened and I went through.

On the other side I was in a living room. There was a man there playing video games. I thought it was MoSh. He was sitting on a ratty looking brown couch but playing his games on a very nice flat screen TV. He had his priorities right! ^_^ I went over to him and touched him on the shoulder. He said not now, he was playing. I said it was me, Raven. He looked up at me. His game ended. I didn't get to see what game it was. He looked at me for a bit. I thought I would try my song to make him lucid. I focused on Queensrÿche's Silent Lucidity. The song played in the room. MoSh was looking for the source of the music. It finished. He said he was dreaming. I said yes, so now we could go check on Morrigan. He said ok. I focused on Through the Never and on getting to Morrigan. A portal opened. I turned back to MoSh… and he was gone. I pulled a Homer Simpson (D'Oh!). It turned out that it didn't even matter because everything around me faded to black and I woke.

You freaked the hell out of those poor, DC's, Raven, Queen of Night.

Funny how i keep dissapearing after i meet you. I do not remember the dream sorry.

The brown couch and the flat screen TV. I have a friend i used to visit in calgary. I spend a week there every now and then and work with him. While there i often sit on a brown couch and play video games on his flat screen.

I was in a strange place. I looked around to see where I was. I was in a forest. It was dark and the forest seemed dead. The trees were all dried and black. There wasn't any grass that I could see but something was crunching under foot that sounded disturbingly like bones. I wondered if my imagination was running away with me. I didn't like my location. I was wondering how I had gotten lost in such a place. I couldn't think how I'd gotten there and I couldn't think how to get out. I started walking in what I thought was a straight line. I couldn't tell where I was going or even if I was going in a straight line. I stopped because I thought I might just get more lost than I already was. I thought I would climb a tree to see if I could see anything. I reached up for a branch and grabbed it. Something was slithering up there. I pulled my hand back quickly. A pair of glowing eyes looked down at me and something hissed. I was getting worried that I wouldn't be able to find my way out. I thought about waiting for daylight but I had the strange idea it would never come. I had to keep moving. I heard movement behind me. I turned and looked into the darkness. I couldn't see anything. Finally a dark figure stepped into view. I stepped back and tripped so I fell on my ass. The figure in front of me chuckled and then finally spoke.

"What's the matter, luv?" he asked in a British accent, "Did I scare you? You'll want to be doing a reality check. You're dreaming, luv."

He came closer and held his hand down to help me up. It was Spike. I tried to fly and I could. I flew up over the trees. There were trees stretching out in three directions. An evil looking castle was to the one direction that felt like north. I landed and was lucid.

Spike wasn't the only one there now. Sephiroth, Link, Bakura, and a man who looked like Yoko Kurama (the Fox Spirit form of Kurama, so he appears to be part fox with perky ears and a long fluffy tail) off of Yu Yu Hakusho was there, too. I did a double take at him. He looked at me and asked if I really was going to say I didn't remember him. I didn't know what to say. He seemed disappointed. But it turned out he was only faking his disappointment. He laughed. Spike grabbed me and turned me towards him. He asked what I was thinking when I decided to come here all by myself. I said I hadn't decided anything. It had just happened. Spike said we might as well go for it then.

The group of us headed towards the castle. I wasn't sure what was waiting there except for the fact it was evil and powerful. Yoko Kurama said that we should remember our primary task which was to rescue prisoners, not fight the demon. He said this demon would not die easily, although it would certainly be possible to beat the shit out of it. We approached the castle. Yoko Kurama said he would cloak our energy as we approached. I looked at him strangely. I hadn't realized that was one of Yoko Kurama's abilities. Yoko Kurama looked at me and said I already knew his name. He said it's not like it's hard to remember. It's only one letter long.

"Q?" I asked.

"I can't get involved in my true form," he said, "It's rather against the rules. But I like to cheat." He laughed.

We were outside the castle walls now. Kurama pointed at a small hole. He said it was a place where a stream had eroded the ground away before drying up. He said it would serve as an entrance. We all crawled through the hole. The hole led to a room of horrors. It was not being used now, but it was clear what it was meant for. There were all sorts of devices around the room that were covered in blood and meant for one kind or another of torture. Kurama waved his hand and plants grew. Rose bushes to be exact. They grew from within the dry ground and broke all of the evil devices as they spread through the room. We went to the next room. It was a long hallway. It was lined with prison cells. Farther down the hall I could hear screams of agony. Kurama said we needed to get the cells open as quickly and quietly as possible. The first thing I thought of was a spell from Harry Potter… alohamora. I tried it on one of the locks and it opened. I went in. There was a woman huddled on the far side of the room sobbing. Kurama took out an orb. He said it was interdimensional so we could take the prisoners with us even if they were unable to come on their own. The woman shrank down and phased into the orb. Outside there were more doors being unlocked. Kurama went to collect those prisoners. I unlocked another door and the man inside jumped me. He was ranting and raving and clawing at my face rather ineffectively. Kurama put him in the orb. He said all of these people were horribly traumatized. He said the orb would provide a safe place and precious healing energy to them.

I looked at the door at the end of the hall. The screams from within were awful. I didn't want to leave the person or people to suffer in there. I used alohamora on that lock and it opened. On the other side I found a room with three people chained to the walls. Two men and a woman. All of them were bloody. A creature that looked part bull, part pig, part reptile and had the wings of a bat was in front of one of the men. As I watched he leaned forward and bit the man, pulling off a large bloody mouth full of flesh. The man screamed in pain. This monster was sick! Seeing him do that pissed me off.

"Get the fuck away from him, you disgusting monster!" I yelled at the creature.

The creature turned towards me with blood dripping from its mouth. It grinned a horrible grin. The grin was out of a nightmare. The creature came at me. I used Battery and summoned a large bolt of white lightning. The lightning hit the demon and stopped him in his tracks… but not for long. He continued coming at me. Spike came out of nowhere and was on the creature's back, burying his sword there. That just seemed to piss the demon off. He grabbed Spike and threw him against the wall. Kurama came into the room. He told everyone to fly, the ceiling was open. We all took to flight. The demon started to come after us. Kurama summoned vines from the ground which wrapped around the demon's legs and held him down. I looked back, suddenly remembering the prisoners. I couldn't leave them. Kurama saw me go back for them. He followed me so we could take them with us in his orb. The demon was getting free. Kurama and I flew up to join the others.

There was a fight going on up there. Even though the demon was being held all of his minor minions were attacking us. Kurama called at them to stop playing with those demons and get moving. Spike removed the head of a demon and joined us. Link ran his sword through a demon and sliced it nearly in half before joining us. Bakura hit a demon with a blast of energy that knocked it out of the sky and then joined us. Sephiroth showed off by slicing his long katana through three demons at once before coming over. Kurama said to open a portal home. I was about to do that when another portal opened. It looked like a tornado. The demon below had broken free and was coming for us. He saw the tornado portal. He gave it a dirty look and reached through it. He came back with Damion in his hand. Damion had an extremely shocked look on his face.

Wow, I thought to myself, Damion picked the wrong time to show up this time!

Kurama said he had a portal open, so let's go. I figured not even Damion deserved to be left with that demon who takes so much pleasure in torture. I hit the demon's hand with a bolt of lightning. The demon released Damion, who immediately flew back through his portal and it closed behind him. I followed Link, Bakura, Sephiroth, Spike, and Kurama through the portal Kurama had opened. We emerged in the biodome and the portal slammed shut behind us.

"Hmmm," Kurama said as he looked to make sure nothing had snuck through with us, "Do ya think Damion will try to find you again? After that he might think twice!"

Spike said I should've left the prick there to rot. Everything around me faded to black as I woke.

wow.

I fell asleep with my light/sound machine on. I focused on getting to the moon in a WILD. The lights inside my eyes slowly resolved into an image of… a cave?! My lucidity slipped to semi-lucidity due to this inconsistency…

I was in a cave. I was lying down and comfortable. I got up and looked around. I did a double take as I saw my own body lying on a bed of grass. I took a couple steps backwards and backed into the Crystal Golem.

"Easy there," he said, "You can take your astral body home tonight. I just wanted to take a closer look at you. Did Nomad tell you what's going on, Queen of Night?"

"I'm not the queen of anything," I said quickly.

"Oh, but you are," the Crystal Golem said in an amused manner, "and you'll never make peace with it if you keep denying it. Oh, and Q is waiting outside. There are two of him. They are the same, yet different."

I figured the Crystal Golem was speaking in riddles again. I headed out of the cave. There were, indeed, two Q's there. It looked like I was seeing double. Both of the Q's spoke at once.

"Hello, Raven," they both said at once.

"You know, Q," one Q said to the other Q, "that will just make things that much more confusing. Raven, I am the Q you are acquainted with. This is my friend and associate. He is my twinner from another dimension. He is another version of Q. So the Crystal Golem wasn't speaking in riddles when he said we are the same and still different. So Raven, this is Q. Q, this is Raven. I greeted the second Q with a hand shake. The first Q continued talking. He said his friend, Q, was the one he had been talking about when he said perhaps he knew someone who would be a spirit guide for MoSh. He said we should go see MoSh. And if MoSh and the second Q got along ok, then it would be set. The first Q smiled and snapped his fingers. The scene around us changed.

I was now standing in a green field with a Q on each side of me. One of the Q's put his hand on my shoulder. I realized he was the Q I am familiar with. The other Q was looking around. He said he didn't see anyone else here. He asked the first Q if he was sure we were in the right place… because he didn't see MoSh or anyone else. The first Q said the second Q should be a little more patient. He said MoSh would arrive momentarily. Sure enough, someone arrived. A serpent with wings was flying through the sky. The first Q grew to be about 50 feet tall and grabbed the serpent by the tail, pulling him to the ground.

"I apologize for the intrusion," the first Q said to the serpent, "but I wasn't sure how to get your attention. Are you lucid right now? You might want to do a reality check if you're not because you're dreaming."

The serpent changed into MoSh and looked at Q for a couple minutes. He then looked over at me, and then at the other Q. The first Q continued speaking.

"MoSh?" he asked, "I'm Q, Raven's spirit guide among other things. We have also been in love in one of her past lives. But that's not really important now. This," the first Q said as he indicated the second Q, "is Q. Yes, he is also called Q because he is my twinner from a different dimension. He has agreed to meet with you and spend some time with you so both of you can determine if he would be a good match to you as your spirit guide. If it works, then it's settled. If not, I guess you'll have to find your spirit guide elsewhere. But he is every bit as easy to get along with as I am… just don't ask Captain Jean Luc Picard for a reference… or Captain Benjamin Sisko… or Captain Kathryn Janeway… they just chose to make things so much more difficult than they had to be…"

The first Q trailed off for a bit and then resumed his normal talking. "Q, this is MoSh. If you're looking for someone interesting to guide and help reach his full potential, then you've come to the right place. He has just started discovering his more than considerable abilities and powers, and there is so much more to discover. So much more interesting than boring people like Jean Luc…"

"I think I've had enough of Jean Luc," the second Q said, "He never listens anyway." The second Q went over to MoSh. The spoke to each other briefly before both of them disappeared in a flash of blue light.

"Well," the remaining Q said, "You've sure been talkative here…" He paused for a couple of minutes. "And you're becoming more of a chatter box every minute! Is there something wrong? You never even said hello to MoSh. He might be thinking you're quite rude!" His words sounded like I'd done something wrong, but he was smiling. His smile changed to a look of concern. "Raven? Is there something wrong? Are you feeling ok?" I hadn't answered him before everything around me faded to black as I woke.

wow again.

Your Q came by last night in my waking state and asked me why i wanted a dreamguide. I told him my answers, and he agreed that they were reasonable. and he said he could see what he could do. I also felt very elated in my stomach. like i knew his presence was there. it weas very strange. but he was also very funny. And I'm glad I'm dealing with the one that knows jean luc . Maybe somewhere beyond all those stars... the trek universe exists

With a virtually infinite universe (or maybe truely infinite) anything is possible. Get lucid and Q could probably take you to a Star Trek world!

I fell asleep into a WILD with the plan on going to do some more healing on Alicia. The good news is she said she is feeling a little bit better the last time I saw her IRL. Not a lot better, but at this point I will see any sign of any small bit of progress as a success and reason to go on!

I found myself on the moon. I was in a temple. I started following a path. The location looked familiar. I noticed I wasn't alone there. Basara was there with me. He said Q had told him about my plans to go heal Alicia and he would be glad to come help. I thanked him. Basara said if I was looking for Nomad he was acting like a goofball on his throne in the next room. I chuckled to myself as I headed into that room. Nomad was, indeed, acting like a goofball. He was a purple jaguar man and he was standing on one hand on his throne. He looked over at me from his upside down position. He did a flip off of his hand and landed cat-like on his feet. He asked if I was there to steal his throne again. I said I have no interest in any thrones. I said I wanted to see if he had the time to lend a bit of healing energy. He said sure. I told him Alicia has been feeling a bit better, so I wanted to keep trying. He said to go ahead and open the portal and he would be right behind me. I used Through the Never and opened a portal to Alicia's room. The three of us went through it…

On the other side we were in Alicia's room. Alicia was on her bed sleeping. Nomad transformed into a cute little purple jaguar cub with wings. He then proceeded to pounce on Alicia. He jumped up and down on top of her until her dream self sat up and looked at him. She exclaimed how cute he was and gave him a big hug. She then looked over at her door in a concerned manner. She said if her mother found a cat in the room she would freak. She held Nomad close to her chest, pressing him into her breasts. He seemed to find that a bit awkward as he was now wiggling to get loose. She released the cub. She commented that he had wiggled to get down. She looked at me for the first time. She said Princess (a long haired white cat that I have) could learn a lot from this jaguar cub.

I noticed that the scene in the room had changed. Apparently Alicia's dream was developing. The room was now brightly lit when it had been dark when we entered. Alicia asked if I was ready to go. I said yes, but there was a stop I needed to make first. She said ok, but she had to get to the meeting place so she could pay the assassin. I did a double take. Pay the assassin?! She said of course, who else was going to kill her boss while she had an alibi? She looked at me suspiciously. "You are still willing to be my alibi, right?" she asked, "I already paid you, after all!"

"Of course," I said, "Of course I'll give you an alibi. You do realize this is a dream, right?"

"Yeah," Alicia said, "Everyone dreams of offing their boss!" she said with a smile.

"No," I said, "This is actually a dream. You're asleep. You're dreaming. How many winged purple jaguar cubs have you ever seen in reality?"

Nomad jumped onto Alicia's head and peered into her eyes upside down from his perch.

"Just yours, silly," Alicia said, "Let's go."

"And who do you think this is?" I asked as I indicated Basara.

"Your boyfriend," Alicia said, "You've been dating him for years. Are you feeling ok?"

"No," I said, "I'm feeling frustrated. Watch this."

I used Through the Never to open a portal to the Healing Glen. Alicia watched with wide eyes.

"That's cool!" she exclaimed, "Did you learn that in school?"

"I'm learning computers in school!" I said in a frustrated manner, "Not interdimensional portals!"

"You don't have to be rude about it," Alicia said, miffed.

"Let's go," I said. All of us went through the portal into the Healing Glenn. Nomad turned back into a purple jaguar man. Alicia didn't seem to notice that as odd. I had given up on making Alicia lucid for now. She said I had sure found a beautiful place. I told her it would feel really good to lie down in the stream. She asked where the stream was. We went over to the stream. Alicia was somehow now in a bikini. She said the water was pretty. I said it was nice. Go ahead and lie down. She lied down in the stream and said the water felt wonderful. She noticed the brown water flowing away from her. She said she hadn't realized how dirty she was. I said it was fine, the water would help. I focused on the song Voices from the Macross Plus soundtrack. Nomad and Basara were also playing along. I focused on sending healing energy right into Alicia's abdomen area. Golden energy flowed around and through her. She looked like she was enjoying the effect. We went through the song twice. By that time Alicia had fallen asleep right there in the stream. I lifted her carefully out of the water and opened a portal to get her back to her room. I put her back in her bed just as everything around me faded to black and I woke.

WOW!! I want a purple kitty with wings. And what classes are you taking? Cause I know I'm not learning interdimensional portals. Let me know cause that's way cool! LOL.

Note: Somehow I managed to go through this entire dream without becoming even semi-lucid!

I was in a forest. I didn't realize I was dreaming. I looked around and saw I was on a path. It was a path through a beautiful area of the forest. There were flowers and berries on the sides of the trail. I walked down the path until I came to a clearing. There was a small house in the clearing. I had the idea I knew where I was. I couldn't think what that was, though. I thought I knew the person who lived there. I approached the front door of the house. It looked like a comfortable house. I knocked on the front door and waited patiently. I was thinking I should've picked some of the berries before coming. I didn't know why I got that idea. I walked away from the door and back into the forest. I was wondering how I could carry the berries. I found a basket by a tree. I picked it up and went for the berries. They were fresh raspberries. Just like on the wild raspberry bushes that grew behind the house I grew up in. There were a lot of big and ripe ones. I put most of them in the basked but I ate a few. They were sooooo sweet and delicious. I took the basked of berries back to the small house and knocked on the door again.

This time I waited at the door for a couple of minutes. Finally the door opened. There was a short woman there. She had long brown braids and looked up at me with a quizzical expression on her face. She had a pleasant voice. She asked what I was there for. I handed her the basket of berries. That felt right to me. The woman took the berries and ate one. She said those would be perfect. She asked how I had known exactly what she had needed. I said I had just followed an instinct. She asked what had brought me here. I said I was looking for SilverWolf. She looked at me strangely. She asked why I was looking for SilverWolf. I said I was a friend of hers. I said I was Raven. She looked at me strangely for a minute. She looked back into the house. She said SilverWolf was here, but she wasn't sure if she was free to talk right now. I looked past the woman and into the house. I saw a woman in the middle of the room. She was wearing a dark cloak with stars on it. It was very pretty. She was in the middle of a pentacle on the floor and seemed to be meditating or praying or something. The woman indicated the woman and said that was SilverWolf. I asked if I could come in. She said ok, just don't disturb SilverWolf until she was ready.

I entered the house and went over to just outside the circle around SilverWolf. SilverWolf was still unaware that I was there. Or at least it looked like she was unaware. I looked around the room. It was a comfortable looking room. The most notable feature was the pentacle in the middle of the room. It had a white circle around it. Each point seemed to be pointed at a different part of the room. One was pointed at the fireplace, one was pointed at the front door, one was pointed at another door, one was pointed at an altar, I don't remember about the fifth… I watched SilverWolf for a couple more minutes. I then noticed a mirror in the room. One of the pentacle points was pointed at the mirror. That was the fifth one. I looked in the mirror. It looked mystical somehow. I was examining the mirror when the short woman came over and got my attention.

"You'd better be careful about that," she said, "That is no ordinary mirror."

"I can see that," I said, "It is a portal." I examined it a bit more. I looked back at SilverWolf. She was still meditating. I looked at the mirror. It was wavy like a star gate. I didn't know where it led but I stepped through it anyway. I felt briefly disoriented and I heard the woman behind me ask what I thought I was doing. I found myself in the temple on the moon. So it still led there. I saw a few people milling about in the room but no sign of Nomad. I went out of the room and into the passage. I headed to the front entrance to the temple. I saw Nomad in front of the temple. He was in jaguar man form, but he looked more green than purple. He didn't look well. He was puking on the ground. Black stuff. A couple of DC's were standing around him looking concerned but seemed unable to do anything else. I went over to him. I didn't bother asking anything I just used Full Moonlight to purge out dark energy. Disgusting things were flushed out. The DC's went after them and crushed them. Nomad still looked pale. He was breathing heavily as if he was about to puke some more. But instead he looked up at me. He squinted at me strangely. He said he needed to get some sleep. He thanked me for healing him and then curled up in a ball right there on the ground and disappeared. I did a double take at that but it didn't really surprise me much.

I headed back into the temple. I thought I might find the mirror to go back to where I had seen SilverWolf. I didn't see the mirror. It had vanished. I was thinking I could just open a portal. I was about to do that when everything around me faded to black and I woke.

This is one of three epic dreams I had last night. I only remember one well. Thank you.

I was in a parking garage. I had the idea I was heading for my car. I didn't know where I'd parked. I was a bit frustrated about that. I began walking up and down the aisles looking for my car. I was completely non-lucid. I had absolutely no idea I was dreaming. I heard a sound like a gunshot. I did a double take and ducked down. I heard a man yelling at someone to come out. I wondered if he was looking for me. I was hoping he wasn't. He looked around the car I was hiding behind. He saw me.

"I've got you now," he said as he pointed his gun at me. I noticed there was a portable flood light behind him. It was on a pole about six feet tall. There was a heavy duty cord leading from that light, past him, past me, and it was plugged in behind me. I grabbed the cord and tugged it. The flood light pole came off balance and fell over on the man. He fell over and dropped the gun. The gun slid over near me. I grabbed it and pointed it at the man. He was unconscious. I didn't want to shoot someone who was unconscious. I turned and quickly left him there. I still needed to find my car. And now I needed to find it more than ever. I headed up the levels. I saw another man creeping around the parking garage. He had a gun. I ducked down behind a car. He must have seen me because he fired in my direction. I peeked over the car and returned fire. I somehow managed to hit the man in the leg. He fell to the ground cursing loudly. I hurried past him and found my car. I got in and headed out as fast as possible.

Now I was on the main street. There was somewhere I had to get to. I was driving as fast as I could. I thought the cops might come after me and that would be good. It would be good to have the cops show up with me. But no cops pursued me. I arrived at an office building. I pulled right up to the front door and went inside.

I was now in a long hallway. There was an elevator there. There were also many doors, but I paid no attention to them. I headed straight for the elevator. I knew exactly where to go although I'm not sure how. I headed down to the floor labeled FS. It was a long way down. Finally the elevator door opened. I got out. I saw something ahead. I heard screaming. I headed in that direction. There was an older man there and a younger one being attacked by a… um… an I don't know what. It was ugly. It was about eight feet tall, very muscular, had a thick rhino-type hide. It was bipedal, but it had razor sharp talons on its hands. It used those talons to cut open the younger man. The younger man was screaming in pain, the older one was cursing fluently. The creature licked the blood off of it and laughed a laugh that sounded more like a snarl. I fired my gun at the creature. It gave me a dirty look and came at me. Crap! I fired a couple more times without effect. I ran back to the elevator and the door closed just in time to keep the creature from coming in. It was slicing through the door with its talons. But it gave up before getting in. I waited quite some time before peeking out…

The hall was deserted now. I went down the hall and found a door at the end of the hall. I opened the door. There was a man there. He was working on a machine. He was dressed like a doctor or a scientist. I asked what was going on. He pointed a gun at me and I returned the favor. He then lowered his gun and said it didn't really matter now. I asked again what was going on. He said the thing was supposed to be under his control. It wasn't supposed to do that. I asked do what. He turned on a monitor. There were a lot of machines around a transparent capsule with a younger man in it. The man was badly injured. The man said he had been such a fool. Now his son was the one to pay the price. He was crying.

An alarm came from the machine. One of the lights went from blue to red. The doc was alarmed.

"No!" the man said, "Please not that! Not the A/C unit!" He punched a button several times.

"What's with the A/C?" I asked.

The doc said the machines keeping his son alive would overheat very quickly without the A/C unit running. His son would die. The doc was on the verge of panic. I looked at the machine. I knew nothing about how to fix it. I pushed the A/C power button. Nothing happened. I was praying for it to work, willing it to work, and I pushed the button again. The A/C unit came back on. The blue light was glowing steadily. The doc was looking at the light with clear relief on his face. He said the room with his son in it was secure if we could get there. We would be safe there. I followed him out into the hall.

We went down the hall slowly. The doc was leading the way since he knew where he was going. The creature jumped out behind us. I turned to face the creature. I emptied my gun into it. No effect. The creature grabbed me. Its razor sharp talons were cutting into my arm. The creature looked evil. It was laughing. It was actually talking. It said something about scraping the flesh from my bones. I was afraid now. How would I get away. The doc behind me was yelling at the creature again. He told it that it had to obey him, he was its creator. That idiot had created this thing? What a nut case! The creature said the doc was its next target. The creature moved to tear its talons into my stomach and I suddenly woke myself up…

IRL: WTF? That was a dream! I want to go back in there and kick that f-er's ass! I jotted down some notes on the previous part of the dream and did a WBTB and I went directly into a lucid dream…

I was in the hallway with the doc and the creature. The creature had gone after the doctor now. I wondered what he'd thought had happened to me. I formed Witchblade into armor and a sword. I attacked the creature. We were in a fight, his talons vs. my sword. He tried to cut me with his talons but they were no match for Witchblade armor. I used Battery and hit the creature with an electric shock. I then moved in with my sword and ran it through the creature's gut. I used the sword to cut upward through the creature's chest. It roared in pain and rage but then it collapsed. It was bleeding black blood.

The doc was staring at me with his jaw hanging open. He said I had vanished, and now I was back. I told him to take me to his son. I said I could save him. He seemed to hesitate, but then he showed me the way. His son was in a vault. He opened it with a code and we went inside. I went over to the pod where the younger man was. I looked at the control panel and opened the cover.

"No!" the doc yelled, "He'll die! If someone has to die, kill me! He didn't do anything!"

"I'm going to help him," I told the doc. I then focused on the song Voices from the Macross Plus soundtrack. The song played and golden energy flowed through the man. His wounds healed right before my eyes. He regained consciousness right as the song ended. The younger man sat up and looked at the doc. He looked a bit disoriented. The doc went over and embraced his son with relieved sobs. I moved away from them. I thought I was about to wake up. Everything around me faded to black as I woke.

Thank you for your visit! I didnt remmber that but I know it happend somehow.

I fell asleep with my light/sound machine on. The first plan I had made with Nomad was to go help his sister who has been under a lot of stress lately. We had agreed to meet on the landing pad outside of Nomad's temple in the middle of Nowhere. I closed my eyes and went into a lucid dream…

I was on the landing pad outside the temple in the middle of Nowhere. I looked around. There were some people milling about. I didn't recognize any of them. I remembered that Nomad was wondering if they were somehow actual living people instead of illusory DC's. I thought I would check to see if I could tell. I went over to one of them. When I got there he dropped down to his knees and started bowing to me. I told him to get up. He got up and looked at me. I was trying to sense if he had an energy frequency. I wasn't sure what I was seeing. I was thinking Q would be better able to tell. I finally asked the man if he was a DC or if he was alive. He gave me a puzzled look and didn't answer. I asked him the question again. He still looked puzzled. He said he was a live DC. Not the answer I was looking for. I heard something behind me. I turned towards the landing pad.

A spaceship landed. The ship looked like the one off of Flight of the Navigator. The door melted open and Nomad got out. He was in his jaguar man form and he was acting like a goofball. He seemed to be dancing to some kind of music. I thought it looked strange. I went over to him and got his attention. He came over to where I was. He said he was ready to go to see his sister. I was wondering if Basara could be of help. A portal opened and Basara came through. It seemed he had heard me… or he just knew what I'd been planning on doing. Nomad said he would open a portal. He created a portal and the three of us went through.

On the other side we were in a green meadow. There was a woman standing there. She was looking out over a lake. A gentle breeze was blowing through her hair. She looked worried about something. She also seemed unaware of our presence. I walked over to her and looked at her closer. She still didn't seem aware of my presence. Nomad came over near us. He was playing his didgeridoo. I remembered Nomad had said there was a problem with stress rather than with physical illness. So I chose the song accordingly. I focused on the song Dare off of the original Transformers soundtrack. "Dare, dare to believe you can survive, you hold the power in your hands, you can win if you dare!" Basara's music was matching my song and Nomad's didgeridoo was going along with the positive energy flow. Golden energy formed and flowed through the woman. It looked like she visibly relaxed. The music finished. Nomad looked at the woman. I asked him if she even noticed we were there. He said he didn't think so. He said hopefully what we did would help. He thanked me and Basara for helping. Basara asked Nomad if he still saw Basara as being a purple cat with an edible guitar. Nomad looked at him strangely. Basara laughed. Everything around me faded to black as I woke.

I was on a circular open area. I looked around to see where I was. There were buildings around the circular area and a temple off to the side. It was a big temple that looked very interesting. I thought I might check it out. I started walking towards it when I saw someone appear behind me. I turned to look and see who it was. A portal had opened and a man who was part jaguar had come through. He had a grin on his face. Some people came through with him. Each of the people stopped, thanked the cat man, and bowed as they went past. They then returned to the city that was surrounding the place we were standing. The cat man came over to me. He said something about me missing out. I didn't know what he was talking about. He said we could still go get MoSh and go to a Star Trek world. As if cued to appear by the mention of a Star Trek world Q appeared. Q looked at me. He told me to do a reality check. He said I was dreaming. And someone had better go get MoSh. I tried to float into the air. I was successful. I realized I must be dreaming. The jaguar man was Nomad. I became lucid…

I focused on Through the Never and on finding MoSh. A portal opened. I was looking at the MoSh. MoSh was standing behind a person who was half jaguar and half human. In front of that man was a woman looking through a portal. The woman was dressed as an Assassin from Assassin's Creed. Q was standing beside the woman with an amused look on his face. I could vaguely make out that the woman was looking through the portal at… MoSh! Who was looking at another cat man and another Q and another Assassin… That would put MoSh… right behind me! I turned around and saw MoSh was behind Nomad. There was a portal behind MoSh. A second Q was behind the portal looking at it. I closed the portal in front of me and the one behind MoSh also closed. The Q beside me still looked amused. He said it seemed MoSh's Q had already brought him here.

I went over to MoSh and said hello. I remembered ignoring him earlier and I didn't want to be rude again. I asked him if he was lucid. He said Q had told him he was dreaming. The Q behind him rolled his eyes and said something about telling him about 20 times. But he was smiling, not complaining. My Q asked if he wanted to have a contest as to which of us was harder to make lucid. MoSh's Q said I had responded right away just now. My Q said it isn't always that easy. I asked if we were going to go. My Q said he had found a place. He said to just follow him and the other Q. He motioned to the circular area where there were two space ships in it. My Fire Valkyrie and Nomad's silver ship. I headed over to the Fire Valkyrie. Someone got in behind me. I looked and saw MoSh. He said he'd been in Nomad's ship but not mine. I said that was fine. We took off and flew into space following a pair of glowing energy orbs that were the two Q's.

We followed the Q's through a wormhole and into a different area of space. The Enterprise was out there. It was the Enterprise E. As we got closer I saw there was a transmission coming through. Apparently Picard was trying to contact us. I was going to answer the signal but Q (one of them) didn't allow it. We were instantly teleported onto the bridge of the Enterprise.

"… this is Captain Jean Luc Picard of the United Federation of Planets," Picard was saying to the view screen, "Identify…" It was about then that he noticed the six people who had appeared on the bridge. Two Q's, Nomad, Selene, MoSh, and me. Riker was already staring at us. Picard saw my Q and gave him a dirty look. He was about to say something when he spotted the second Q. The two Q's stood right next to each other. They looked identical. Both of them started speaking at the same time, saying the same thing.

"Greetings, Jean Luc," they said in unison, "You're so happy to see me that you're speechless!" Picard rubbed his eyes and looked back at the pair of Q's. They continued to speak in unison. "What is it?" they asked as they looked at Picard in a concerned manner, "Is there something wrong? You look a bit pale, mon capitan. Maybe you should sit down."

"Two of you?" Picard finally said, "Now there are TWO of you?"

The two Q's looked at each other in a perplexed manner. "Two of me?" they asked in unison, "Are you ok, Jean Luc?" They looked back at Picard. Picard hesitated and shook his head before looking over at the rest of us.

"Let me guess," Picard said sounding annoyed, "You're like them? Him? You're all Q's?"

"I'm not a Q," I said, "My name is Raven Knight."

"I am Juargawn," Nomad said in the form of a purple jaguar man, "I am the god of nothing and I come to you from nowhere!" He was laughing as he said that.

"The god of WHAT?" Picard asked, perplexed.

"And Raven's just being modest," Nomad added, "She is actually the Queen of Night visiting you from her dark tower."

"This is absurd!" Picard said, "I want all of you off of my ship now!"

"And this is MoSh," Nomad continued, "He is the King of the Nagas!"

MoSh looked at Nomad strangely but didn't respond. Selene was giving Nomad a dirty look "And what about ME?" she asked impatiently.

"Yeah," Nomad said, "This is Selene, the goddess of the moon and…"

"Enough!" Picard yelled, "I want you all off my ship! NOW!"

"So I guess you want to deal with your friends on your own," both Q's said in unison.

Everyone on the bridge had been paying too much attention to us to notice there was a fleet of Romulan ships on the main view screen. A transmission came through. The transmission demanded surrender.

"They're after the Gycia project," Picard muttered to himself. I had no idea what that meant. But I did know there were way too many Romulan ships for the Enterprise to fight.

Both Q's said, in unison, that even Picard wouldn't be foolish enough to try to fight all of those Romulans alone. They said that was why they'd brought help. Both Q's said we could get rid of those annoyances however we saw fit.

I said I would just go back to my Fire Valkyrie. Nomad said he was going back to Future's Hope. MoSh seemed to thin about something momentarily. He then announced to the room that he was a naga. He transformed into a winged serpent and then disappeared. He reappeared on the view screen and grew to giant size. One of the crew members was pointing at the screen. "Uh… Captain…"

The giant serpent MoSh attacked one of the Romulan ships and ripped into it with his huge fangs. Picard was staring at that scene with a very shocked look on his face. That look was priceless.

"MoSh isn't going to have all the fun," I said as I teleported out to my Fire Valkyrie. I saw Nomad's ship start moving. Selene appeared and was giant. She had a staff and was shooting blasts of moon energy at the Romulan ships. The Romulans were attacking MoSh. Firing phasers and torpedoes at him. The attacks weren't getting through. I fired at that ship. My weapons cut through their shields and destroyed a ship.

The fight was over rather quickly. The Romulans apparently realized that they weren't going to be able to fight us. The remaining ships retreated. I wondered what Picard would have to say about us now. I teleported back onto the bridge to see what was going on. Nomad was already back on the ship. He was a small purple jaguar cubs with wings. Deana Troi was petting him and Selene was looking at Deana with murder in her eyes. Picard was looking at the pair of Q's. Both of the Q's were laughing now. They split up and headed different directions. Picard looked over at me. Nomad turned back to his cat man form and was standing not far from Deana. Selene draped herself over him and changed into a cat woman. One of the Q's asked Picard if he wasn't at least a teeny big grateful for the help. The second Q said Picard didn't have to be so rude to his guests. Picard said he had never invited these guests. One of the Q's said that didn't excuse Picard's rudeness. Picard was reluctant to say anything now. He finally looked at the group of us and gave a very lame excuse for a 'thank you.' I saw MoSh in serpent form outside the front view screen. I was wondering what to do now when everything around me faded to black and I woke.

ACK! I don't have time to finish writing my DJ. maybe tomorrow.

*tears in eyes*

Why do I miss out on all the fun (my conscious self anyway) . Anyway Raven I laughed through the whole Dream. I would only want to impress Picard anyway. I could imagine myself doing that.

say, Next Thursday night lets pay a visit to my favorite Captain Janeway! help her get closer to home. hey?

even If I know absolutely nothing about star trek, that was an epic dream if I ever saw one

sounds like another epic dream chain is about to unfold

This is a photo of me dressed up as an Assassin's Creed Assassin for Halloween. I am posting it since I often look this way in my dreams. Click it for a larger view.

I fell asleep with my light / sound machine on. Alicia has been actively being sick today so I was thinking I wanted to do some more healing on her. In chatting with MoSh he said that he is feeling symptoms of the flu coming on. My first goal was to try to help Alicia, and also to see if a bit of healing might help stop that before it got started. Alicia was spending the night with me so I figured picking her up to go to the Healing Glen would be easy…

Somehow my lucidity slipped away as I entered the dream state… I was in my game room. It didn't look quite right. My television was bigger than it is IRL. It was huge. Covered half the wall. I was thinking it would be sooooo cool to play some video games on that. Alicia was there playing Mario Cart on it. Since she was using my old Nintendo 64 it was making very poor use of the amazing television I had there. The image was not very good. I attributed it to the limited capacity of the Nintendo 64. I told Alicia she should play with one of the better systems. She said ok and popped Prototype into my Xbox 360. She started slicing apart civilians on the street in an graphic display of HD blood and gore. The military showed up and she started slicing through them just as easily. I was surprised to see Alicia choose such a violent game (that's not normally something she plays) and do so well at it (she isn't really into games and doesn't play them very well). As if she had heard my thoughts she said I couldn't dream of playing that well. I told her to load up the multiplayer version if she wanted to eat her words. I then focused on the one word in that statement. Dream. Wasn't I in bed now? Dreaming? Wasn't I more concerned with healing Alicia than with what video game she was playing? I levitated off of the ground and bumped my head on the ceiling. Alicia looked up at me and said that wasn't a brilliant move. I told her to save her game, there was something I wanted to show her. She saved her game and left it paused. She said she would come back to it. I was now lucid.

I used Through the Never to open a portal to the Healing Glen. A portal opened and I led Alicia through it. On the other side we were in a beautiful forest. I led her over to the stream where we usually do the healing. I told her to lie down in the water. It was nice. She thought that was strange. But she lied down. I focused on the song Voices from the Macross Plus soundtrack. I also focused healing energy into her abdomen area. I went through three repetitions of the song. Golden energy flowed around and through Alicia. The water itself also seemed to be flowing through Alicia. Filthy water flowed away from Alicia and down the stream. She fell asleep as I was using the healing energy. I finished the final song and figured I would take her home. Before I could do that she disappeared. I figured she had gone home.

I went back to the cave where the Crystal Golem was. He wasn't alone. Nomad was with him. He looked like a jaguar man. He asked about Alicia. I said I had done a healing session on her already. I said I was looking for MoSh. I opened a portal and focused on getting to MoSh. A portal opened. I went through and Nomad followed me. On the other side I found myself looking at Q. I did a double take at seeing Q. Q said he didn't know why I should be so surprised to see him. I had been there when he had first met MoSh after all. I realized this wasn't my Q. This was MoSh's Q. I was wondering if I was going to get confused very often by the fact there are two Q's I might see. I asked Q where MoSh was. He said MoSh was getting some real rest so he could kick this flu before he actually caught it. I told Q that I was there to take him to get some healing. Q said that was fine. MoSh was in bed. Just wake him up and… I looked at a sleeping MoSh. There was a small purple jaguar cub with wings bouncing up and down on top of him. MoSh sat up and grabbed the cub. He looked at the cub strangely. The cub turned into an adult jaguar and licked MoSh's face. He got an "Yuck!" as a reply as MoSh shoved him off. He turned into a jaguar man and told MoSh to wake up… or not wake up, but get up… he's dreaming. Q was looking at Nomad strangely. He said Nomad is an odd fellow… I thought that was a bit of an understatement.

MoSh got up and looked at me. He was looking at me strangely. I wondered why. I said we could take care of things in the Healing Glen. Q said yes. He snapped his fingers and we were all back in the cave at the Healing Glen. The Crystal Golem was there and looking at us. He said he saw we had brought the naga king back. He said MoSh's astral form was just about healed so we could try to fuse them again. He indicated a sleeping MoSh in the back of the cave. He told MoSh to lie down with himself… into himself. Q looked at the Crystal Golem and then at the sleeping astral MoSh, and then at MoSh. MoSh lied down into his astral form. I used the song Voices from the Macross Plus soundtrack and Nomad played his didgeridoo. Golden energy flowed around and through MoSh. The song came to an end and I repeated it. I had just barely made it to the end of that song before I felt the dream slipping. Everything around me faded to black and I woke.

I was in a strange place. It looked like a town out of an RPG. I looked around at all of the people who were walking down the street. There were quite a few merchant booths where the merchants were loudly hawking their wares. I had no memory of how I had gotten there but I thought I would take a look around. I started walking down the street. I saw some shiny objects. They were silver vases and plates and things. I was drawn by the shininess. I looked at one of the plates and it was so shiny I could see my own reflection. I almost dropped the plate. I was dressed as an Assassin. I carefully set the plate down and then I looked down at my own robes. I didn't have the weapons I usually associated with Assassins. What I had was a pretty bracelet with multiple colored gems in it. I recognized the bracelet as a Witchblade. I knew it could form whatever weapon I needed the instant I needed it. It would also form a very protective armor. I walked away from the merchant stand to see what else was going on. I wasn't sure what was going on but it hadn’t occurred to me to do a reality check.

I headed towards what appeared to be the main gate of the town. I saw the gate was open. There were guards standing on both sides of the gate but they didn't seem to be expecting any trouble. They seemed quite inattentive. I walked over to one of them. He looked over at me and told me to move along. I didn't know of anything to say to him so I moved away. I looked at another merchant booth. There was a variety of blankets for sale there. The merchant, a woman, was saying she had hand woven each one of them herself and she would guarantee the finest quality in all of them. She turned her attention to me and said I should just feel one of them, she used only the highest quality materials for a very soft and warm blanket; it would surely serve to keep me warm during the long cold nights ahead. I didn't know if I even had any money. And I figured I wouldn't be staying in town that long. I wondered where I was going to go. I still didn't remember how I 'd gotten there. I figured I'd head out of town and see if anything triggered my memories.

I went through the main gate and into the area beyond. There was a stable there and there were several horses grazing in a fenced paddock. There were some more guards out there as well as some people tending to the horses. I went over and looked at the horses. One of the people tending the horses came over to me and asked if he could help me. The way he was looking at me made me think he thought I was hot. He stared at me for a bit and then he looked past me. He got an amazed look on his face. He said he'd never seen a horse such as that one. I turned and looked. There was a white horse behind me. The horse, a mare, had red mane and tail that were so bright they looked like they were on fire. The horse came over and nuzzled me. The man smiled at that. He said he saw I already had a steed, and a fine one at that. He said if I needed a place to leave her while I was in town I could leave her at the stable. He said he takes care of each and every horse left in his care as if it was his own. I told him that wouldn't be necessary since I was just leaving town. He seemed disappointed. I climbed up on the horse, Stardust, and we rode away from the main gate.

I saw that we were on the top of a mountain. There were steep cliffs all around the city. There was one direction where there was a path winding down. Apparently it was placed there so it would be easily defended. But defended from who? Was someone going to attack? Yes, I thought, answering my own question. Templars might attack. Templars? I wasn't sure that my own thoughts were making sense. I was pondering the idea of Templars attacking when someone rode up next to me. It was a man dressed as an Assassin and riding a brown horse with a lighter mane and tail. I looked up at the man and recognized Altaïr. He called me Raven and said the others were coming right behind him. I looked back towards the city. There were more horses coming. I recognized the riders. Spike, Sephiroth, Bakura, Link, and Basara. Basara wasn't even holding the reigns. He was holding a guitar. How was he controlling his horse? Telepathically, of course. I answered my own question again.

"Hello, luv," Spike said as he brought his black horse right up alongside Stardust, "If you haven't done it, you'll be wanting to do a reality check. You're dreaming, luv."

"This is a dream?" I asked, more to myself than to Spike. It made sense. That would explain how I had been in an RPG and how come I didn't remember how I got there. I patted Stardust. I levitated a few inches off of her back and then gently returned to my sitting position. I was dreaming. I became lucid.

"There they are," Altaïr said as he pointed down at the valley below. I looked down and saw there were a lot of people approaching the path leading up to the city. I wondered if they thought they would get in.

"They're definitely shadow Templars," Spike said, "We took the dark shard from Robert. Since there were Assassins with us they probably figure the shard is being kept somewhere in Masyaf.

"But it's not!" I blurted out.

"We know that," Spike said, "But try convincing them of that!"

"Let's get this show going!" Basara said as he rode his horse straight at the edge and then the horse jumped off. The horse unfolded a set of beautiful wings I hadn't noticed before. Basara was riding a Pegasus. The winged horse swooped down over the approaching Templars as Basara began playing Planet Dance off of the Macross 7 soundtrack. I looked down at the Templars attacking. They were firing arrows at Basara but the arrows were bouncing off of an invisible force field. I looked at the others. We were all riding Pegasus. All of our horses took flight. Stardust had beautiful golden wings. We dived down to the base of the mountain. The Templars also weren't riding normal horses. They were all solid black and had glowing red eyes. I wondered what they were. They looked like steeds I would see the ring wraiths from Lord of the Rings riding. The fight was going to take place in the sky. I saw all of our people had their weapons out. I used Battery to charge all of them with white lightning. Basara's guitar also got a bolt of power. The fight started.

There were quite a few of the Templars coming directly after me. I thought I heard someone say something about killing the witch before she could summon a demon. A demon? An image of Nomad transforming into a demon-like creature in front of them flashed through my mind. The demon wasn't here this time. But of course they didn't know that. A group of Templars was coming straight at me. Instead of avoiding them I charged straight into them with my sparking Witchblade sword in front of me. I ran one of the Templars through as the others split to the side to avoid a mid air collision. That Templar was consumed by white lightning. His steed attacked me. Stardust breathed white fire. The fire consumed the evil steed.

Off to my right I saw Altaïr jump off of his own horse and land on one of the demon steeds behind a shadow Templar. That Templar found a sparking hidden blade buried in his neck. He was consumed by white lightning. The demon steed didn't respond well to that. It was trying to buck Altaïr off and attack him at the same time. Altaïr ran his sparking sword into the steed's neck, and it was also consumed by white lightning. Apparently the demon steeds were as evil as the shadow Templars. Of course with the demon steed gone that left Altaïr falling… and his own Pegasus swooped down to catch him.

I didn't have the time to watch Altaïr. I was being attacked again. One of the shadow Templars was throwing balls of dark energy at me. Stardust nimbly avoided those attacks as she got me in close enough to slice through the attacking Templar as we went by. We circled around and Stardust took out the demon steed. I saw Spike had long claws that looked like Wolverine. And they fired. They fired out at the Templars and imbedded themselves in both the Templars and their demon steeds. Those claws were sparking with white lightning. Link was firing sparking arrows with deadly accuracy. Sephiroth's sparking sword was long enough to take out targets that weren't close enough to counter attack. I didn't see Bakura right then. I did see I was under attack again. Stardust dived down below the attacking Templar and then soared up underneath the enemy so I could run my sword through both the demon steed and the shadow Templar riding on it. I saw Altaïr on the back of another demon steed with a Templar that was being consumed by white lightning. He knifed the demon steed but this time he jumped off of it before it had completely disintegrated. He landed on Stardust right behind me. He jumped off of Stardust onto another demon steed with another shadow Templar.

I noticed that Basara had finished the song Planet Dance and had moved on to Never Say Die, also off of the Macross 7 soundtrack. I wasn't sure when he had changed songs. It sounded like he was well into Never Say Die. But I didn't have time to ponder that. We were still under attack. I saw Bakura now. He was closing in on an enemy and he threw something at it. I think it was a dagger that was sparking with white lightning. There was another shadow Templar attacking him from behind. I hit that Templar with a bolt of white lightning. The lightning consumed both the Templar and his demon steed. Basara had just finished up Never Say Die and he was moving on to Holy Lonely Light from the Macross 7 soundtrack.

Basara's songs seemed to be having some effect. I saw some of the Templars turn their steeds to leave. That didn't work so well, however. While it seemed the Templars had decided they didn't want to fight, their demon steeds would not be deterred so easily. The result was several of the Templars fighting with their own steeds in an attempt to disengage from the battle. Basara moved his Pegasus near one of the struggling Templars. He paused at a distance then moved in and pulled the Templar onto the back of his own steed. The demon steed attacked Basara immediately. I used Battery to hit it with white lightning. Still singing, Basara swooped down near the ground and dropped off his Templar passenger. The Templar immediately went for cover. One of the other Templars who was fighting with his steed ran his sword into his own steed. The steed bucked him off. The sword was still in the steed's back and it made an excellent lightning rod. White lightning consumed the demon steed. I telekinetically lowered the Templar who had been bucked to the ground. There seemed to be more and more of them that were trying to break off the attack. A couple managed to get their steeds low enough that they could jump off.

The number of attacking Templars was dwindling. Then I saw their leader. Robert de Sable was on the back of the ugliest demon steed among them. One of the Templars jumped off of his steed and tried to go for cover but Robert killed him before he could make it. Killing his own people… what an ASSHOLE! I flew close enough that I was sure he could hear me and I called him an asshole. He looked up at me and said I would die. I called him an ugly asshole. He said I was dead. I said if I was dead he'd still be an ugly asshole. I dodged his approach and hit him with a bolt of lightning from Battery. The lightning was blocked by some kind of shield. I used Damage, Inc. to hit him with several balls of fire. They didn't seem to harm him but they did seem to blind him momentarily. And it seemed to piss him off. He came charging at me again. I hit him with more fireballs to blind him again. There was a Pegasus directly above and a bit behind Robert. Sephiroth jumped off of that Pegasus and ran a long sparking sword through both Robert and his demon steed before jumping off and being caught by his own Pegasus. That was the end of Robert's steed. It was consumed by white lightning. Robert was being stubborn. He jumped (or more like fell) off of his dying steed and landed behind Link on his steed. Link reversed his sword and stabbed it behind him and into Robert, who fell off of Link's Pegasus. That would have to be enough to kill him. He was sparking with white lightning that was clearly trying to consume him. But he was still fighting it. He landed on the back of one of the other Templar's demon steeds and pushed the other Templar off. I telekinetically lowered the falling Templar to the ground not knowing for sure if he might be one of the ones listening to Basara. Once on the ground he went for cover. Robert was obsessed with me. He came blindly charging at me again. Now I saw Altaïr land on his steed behind him and bury a sparking hidden blade in Robert's neck and then into the demon steed before jumping off and back onto his own Pegasus. Robert was yelling about killing me and making me pay when he was finally consumed by the white lightning.

And then the fight was over. Basara was done singing. All of the shadow Templars had either been cured by Basara's music or were dead. All of the demon steeds were dead. Robert de Sable was dead. All of us flew back to the overlook where we had watched the Templars approach. We landed there. I thought I should open a portal to get us back home. I used Through the Never to open a portal to the biodome. A portal opened. Spike, Bakura, Sephiroth, and Link went through. Altaïr was looking over at the gates to Masyaf. I figured he probably wanted to go home. But not without one more… I went over and kissed Altaïr. I said goodbye to him and maybe I would be back again some day if I was needed. Altaïr looked slightly puzzled. I headed through the portal to the biodome. Altaïr followed right behind me and the portal closed behind him. I looked back and was surprised to see Altaïr. I commented I thought he wanted to go home. He asked if Q wouldn't be able to tell if he was needed there. I said Q could do that. He said then unless we were kicking him out, he wanted to stay here with me and see more of these other dimensions I travel to. I told him no one was kicking him out. I hugged Altaïr. I was still hugging Altaïr when everything faded to black and I woke.

Raven, you never cease to amaze me. Dammit I missed out on a kickass fight. I like that they think I'm a demon you summon. Epic LULZ.
