Thread: Legends from the Battlefield

I was planning on meeting Raven Knight on the moon. Having never been there she offered to meet me outside. I was standing on the moon surface, sort of pacing back and forth. Was I where I was supposed to be? What if she didn’t recognize me? I was lost in my own worries that I didn’t notice an assassin approach me. “Hello,” she said, “you must be Markus.” She offered her hand for me to shake. I grabbed it at the elbow. She seemed to be surprised by this. “And you must be Raven, mi’lady.” She stood back a moment, almost like she was embarrassed. “Have I done something?” I asked. “Not at all, just getting a feel for your energy.” I nodded. “Well are you ready for your first shared dream?” She asked. Once again all I did was nod. She opened a portal and went through. I followed her.

I was dizzy and felt like the dream was slipping. I also wanted to throw up. I put my hands on my knees and bent over. “You ok?” she asked. “Yeah, just not used to traveling that way. I usually just appear where I want to be. It is a little disconcerting.” She smiled at me. “The first time usually is, but it will get better.” I stood back up and took in the sights of Rome. Vendors shouted out their wares and prices and Raven and I started down the street. I pointed to some shiny pendant and said that it would look pretty on her. She seemed to blush again. Soon an array of smells assaulted my senses. I could smell cooking meat, mead, and human smells I wish not to smell again. “Oh,” Raven suddenly said. “I have something for you.” She presented me with a red gem. I held it in my hand and flipped it over. “This will help protect you and shield your energy from enemies.” She explained. “Oh, do you have a lot of enemies?” I asked. “Not really a lot, but they tend to bother new people trying to share dreams.” I nodded.

We had somehow made our way to the Coliseum and I hadn’t even noticed. I was thinking that we should go see what the gladiator fights are like when Raven turned to me, “You still wanted to do a task of the year right?” I looked at her almost confused when it suddenly dawned on me. “Right, from dreamviews. Sure.” We walked up toward the Coliseum when I heard someone shout. “You two, want to fight?” We nodded.

We were in line to fight when a large group of slaves/gladiators passed by us. I overheard that it was the group that we would be fighting. They seemed easy enough to take down just by their looks, after all Raven and I would have an advantage, we were dreaming. We walked through the gates and into the arena. They gave us a sword each, and then unlocked the gladiators from each other. I looked over to Raven, “Going to be okay?” She nodded and began her attack. I focused on the gladiator nearby me. Soon I found Raven at my back. Back to back we faced the last three opponents. I reached down and grabbed a second sword from the nearby corpse. I swung at one of the gladiators and he jumped back. I ran him through with my other blade. I turned to see how Raven was faring and was surprised to see her on the ground. She had eliminated one gladiator, but the other was getting ready to harm her. I dropped my swords and grabbed at my pouch. I pulled a throwing dagger out and threw it at the gladiator. He fell down, the dagger sticking out of his throat. “Are you okay?” I asked Raven as I helped her up. She dusted herself off. “I am fine; they just caught me off guard… somehow.” She looked puzzled that she had been caught off guard. “Well we won.” I pointed to the dead bodies all around. “Wasn’t there something else you wanted to do?” I questioned. Raven nodded and opened up another portal. We teleported through and I… can’t remember what happened after that, but I know I didn’t wake up.

Oh my god that's epically awesome!

Your dream matches my notes very well! We have a hit on our first try! I haven't done that since Nomad!

Is it unusual to have that happen?

It doesn't usually work on the first try. Loaf and I had to try for a long time before it worked.

Oh wow.. I feel special now

Sadly the only thing I can remember is walking along the surface of the moon waiting for Raven.

Awww... and we did so much more than that! I'm a bit behind on dreams, but I will post soon.

I had plans to go to Mexico and I had invited Raven. She said that she was going to try to make it and I hope that she did...I was standing on a beach in Mexico. I knew it was Mexico because a guy walked up to me speaking Spanish. I don't really know Spanish, but I knew what I wanted. "Cerveza por favor." I spoke to him. He nodded and took off. I then decided that I would understand Spanish. He came back and handed me a Corona. It isn't the beer I normally drank, but this was a dream so I didn't care. I looked around the beach to see who else was there. I saw a umbrella in the distance and walked toward it.

I saw Raven and immediately hugged her. "Glad you could make it." She smiled at me. "How are you?" she asked. The server came back and mumbled something at Raven. She looked puzzled. He asked her again and I translated for her. "He's asking if you want something to drink." "Oh," she said. "I don't know, I don't really drink." I looked at the waiter. "Deme un daiquiri virgen de fresa por favor." I told him. I figured that Raven didn't understand what I said. I knew Spanish perfectly now. "I asked him to bring you a virgin strawberry daiquiri." She smiled. "Thanks." The waiter brought Raven's drink back. She tried some and smiled. "Like it?" I asked she nodded.

"Hey, lets go swimming." I told Raven. I grabbed her hand and dragged her into the ocean. The water was warm and nice. We dove under water and watched the sharks for a while. I grabbed one by the fin and rode around with it for a while. I went back to Raven and we pet the shark then got out of the water. I watched her as she left the water. The sun was beginning to set over the ocean. I watched as the water dripped off her radiant skin. 'God she's beautiful.' I thought to myself. She looked at me. "What, do I have sea weed on me or something?" I turned away embarrassed. "No, its not that," I almost whispered. Raven was right next to me. She wrapped her arms around me and hugged my back. I turned around. I wanted to kiss her, but resisted. I pulled away and grabbed her hands. I whispered something. I looked into her eyes and smiled. Then I woke up.

I had been talking to Raven, and we had decided to have dinner in Paris. We were going to meet at he Eiffel tower and I spend the early part of the night preparing for it. When I felt everything was ready I waited at the tower.

I was wearing a black and white tux. I had a bow tie and I was fiddling with the small jewelry box I had. I was thinking about what Raven was going to say. I hoped that I wouldn't freak her out by it. I must have looked ridiculous standing there playing with the box, so I stuck it in my front pocket. I turned around and saw Raven standing there. "I guess I'm not wearing the right clothes." She was beautiful. She motioned for me to turn around and I did.

She cleared her throat and I turned back around. She was standing there in a shiny dress and her hair was up in a bun thingy. The only thing I could think was, 'Damn.' I smiled at her. "What?" she asked when she saw I was staring. "Nothing." I replied. I reached for the jewelry box. I handed it to her. She looked at it. "It's not what you think." I said. "How do you know what I am thinking?" she asked as she opened the box. She took out the earrings and put them in. They were platinum and had topaz as the gem. "Thank you, they are beautiful." she whispered.

I grabbed her hand and led her to a small restaurant. We sat up on the balcony with the perfect view of the Eiffel tower. The waiter came by and I ordered a seafood portofino and a Chianti. He looked for Raven's order. She looked at me, "Umm.." "Lets start with escargot. Then bring the seared tuna and asparagus. And a red, not make that blush wine. White Merlot ought to do." The waiter left and Raven stared at me. "I hate asparagus." "Well, make it taste like chocolate." We at dinner and talked. Soon we were onto desert. It was something with chocolate and fruit and whip cream. We took turns feeding each other and at one point I had to wipe whip cream off her nose. We talked some more but I can't remember what about.

I paid the waiter by changing a piece of paper into the correct amount. We flew to the Eiffel tower where we looked out at Paris. We talked some more and watched the city. She had her hand on my arm. 'Well its now or never,' I thought. I looked into her eyes. I turned around quickly and grabbed her shoulders. I must have scared her because she moved to defend herself. I never gave her the chance. I kissed her. She relaxed and moved her hands to the back of my head and then my face. I pulled back and looked into her eyes. "Now lets do something crazy!" I shouted and pulled away. I launched myself over the edge of the Eiffel tower and looked back. I hoped that she was going to follow when I woke up.

Amazing. Your dreams are amazing. I like your dream date.

I am looking forward to reading your dream journal, and seeing you in dreams. I have a vague recollection of meeting you, and your forearm handshake.

I had been talking with Raven on Skype and we (mosh included) decide to do something fun together. So we headed to a paradise planet. I vaguely remember something about Raven's ship. Then we are hiking to a lake. The Q complains we are taking to long. I go to shake his hand and he backs away quickly "I don't want to be touched by a mere mortal." He also says I seem familiar. I grin... of course I am, I am from Raven's past life.

We finally make it to the lake. I want to see the crystal cave behind it so Raven and I swim across. We walk into the cave. We are soaking wet and it is a little chilly. She likes my now see through white shirt. I take it off and she touches my chest. I kiss her. I know more happened after this and before it. Damn it I wish I could remember more.
