Ashes to Ashes(Part 3 of My lucid dream)
[/b]Ashes to Ashes Pt 3
Sorry about the delay on this one, been goofing off in lucid dreams lately, Last night I decided to get down to business.
I came out of WILDing into my kitchen. I then shaped the dream into what I wanted it to be(The most likely scenerio from when my last dream left off....I was dead.) I then let go of my supreme lucid powers(thats what I call my total power now) and stuck with the lesser ones,
I was flying through the preverbial long tunnel with light at the end, Strangely enough, there wasn't any air. It was like floating underwater. but without the water. my white hair exploded into hundreds of different directions. I neared the light, it became so bright that I had to shield my eyes from it.
But I wasn't just seeing it. I could feel it, smell it, hear it, and taste it. I felt warm, like a bath in water of perfect temperture. It smelled of lavender and spices. It's sound was of a resonance. Like all of the matter in my body was hamonizing with it. It tasted of pure rain drops, or a fresh breeze. It was dazzyling, and I was enveloped in it. I felt no pain, no anxiety, nothing but peace and happiness. I still could not see where I was.
But I heard a voice. Not audible, but when he spake, it felt as if every atom in my body heard. The words which he spoke, I could not understand. Yet the message he was giving, was very clear. I was not to stay in this perfect place, my task was not yet completed. I was to go back. . .
In an instant, all that was joy disolved from me, and I jolted awake as one would from a nightmare. I was still on the floor. Berrick, the dragon, and Alaythia, my murderer, still stood, laughing. Blood continued to creep from my body, but I was alive.
I slowly rose from the floor, I tried to lift my sword; but I was too weak. The laughter had stopped, and was replaced with akward silence.
"You were dead!?! I watched you die!" said Alaythia Increduelesly. "No matter, a mistake which I will soon remedy." she unsheathed another arrow, and notched it to her string. But, berrick stopped her.
"No, Killing him is not enough. He has proven that. He is too weak to escape. I'll keep him in the dungeon, and if he attempts an escape, I will shred him myself. until then, stay your arrow Alaythia." With a powerful hand, he grabbed me, and spread his wings. With a few labourious beats, he was aloft and carried me to my home for the next few years.
Once there, I found that I was not the only prisoner being held by these terrible beasts. Humans, and dragons alike were being kept in these dingy cells. Most of them were colored of metals, bronze, silver, and gold. But all were cramped and had very little extra space.
At this point, I gave into the fact that I might need some help. with the smell of rotting hay, and mold hanging in the air, I sat on the floor. Concentrating. In a world of dragons, who better to help me, than a dragon. I was calling Seriananth. After a few minutes I heard a few screams from the guards, and a crash against my cell wall. . .seri was here. With a sigh of relief, I called to the prisoners. "Our ticket out of here has arrived, all who will aid me speak now!" a chorus a "ayes" rang out. and I knew that the moment Seriananth broke through, all hell would break loose. The booming crashes against the walls were growing louder. "(My god, he must be blasting away the rock with his bare shoulders. I'm going to owe him bigtime for this.)" After a few more collisions the great blocks began to splinter. and after the final blow, exploded into thousands of shards.
Seri announced in his gruff dragon voice, "You rang?" with a smirk that only a dragon could make he made mince meat out of the cell bars holding the captives, with only his tale and claws.
"Your a life saver Seri." I replied as I grew my wings and took to the sky. It was wonderful to feel the wind on my face. It had been three very long weeks, and I was in no mood to have it taken away every again. In my haste I forgot to look up. Above my swarmed thousands, maybe millions of dragons. It was ten times as worse than I had planned. Seri would be a goner if they got at him. He was already beaten up from breaking the stone walls away.
I then decided I needed a few more lucid powers than I had originally planned on, so I gathered the power of the wind within my fists, and reigned tornados and lightning like candy. Dragons were getting fried left and right, and the tornados were so intense they were literally ripping them apart. "Seri! get the prisoners out of here!" I yelled over the rushing wind and rolling thunder. (It was the first time I had seen him, and like Lost soul warned, only a dragon can give a glare like that. but this was my time, not his. So with glare only a cat-man could give, I persuaded him to obey) He flew off, and it was then that I realised a few tornados and lightning weren't enough anymore.
I clapped my wings and sped away from the heat of the combat, I materialized two swords and began to battle my way of danger. I decided that the destruction of cloud city would be my last bending of the dream rules, so, with a bit of focus. BOOM! Cloud city became a huge floating chunk of rock. The dragons, and me along with them, were momentarily paralyzed. We plunged together towards teh barren earth. After feeling restored to my wings, I angled off back towards forbidden to repay that liar of dragon named Terrick. With 5 dragons chasing me I didn't have much time for rest, but the entire trip, my mind was consumed with my fallen friend, and ally. . .Rico.
At once the pain and grief hit me. the adrenaline from the battle wore off, and I felt that familiar twinge of anger, and hatred. I doubled back, and shot straight upwards. My dragon persuers followed close behind. Flying into the sun is the oldest trick in the book, yet these dragons were nothing more than angry grunts, and the trick worked on them. I took out two by launching my two swords directly behind me. I heard their shreaks of pain. It gave me satisfaction. I was not killing out of self defense, I was killing out of revenge, for Rico. Another dragon leveled behind me, and inhaled for a burst of flames. I dropped below them, and let my wings catch air, as I fell behind him, he was still flying towarsd the ground. I sped back up, and dropped onto his back in mid flight. He was immediately trying to get me off. I had a hard time staying on, but he eventual stopped flying entirely. I was parrying his claws with my daggers, and getting in occasional stabs. While he had a one way ticket to the ground. By the time he couldn't stop himself, I spread my wings and halted while he continued to fall. another shreik and a hollow thud, as he impacted the ground. One dragon left. I leveled my dagger straight up, and threw it as hard as I could. It sped upwards. I followed it, caught it, then redirected it to my left. As luck would have it, the drage was trying to ambush me from that side. and took the dagger through his mouth. He did not cry out in pain, but stupidly fell towards the earth.
I flew back to Rico's home. I walked the familiar path. I saw where my shelter had caved in. Memories of our short friendship began to play in my head. A single tear came to my eye. In the freezing cold, it froze half way down my cheek. I retrieved it, and offered it to the father of Rico. He sniffed it timidly, and took it from my fingers. a knowing look beset his face. I'm not sure if rabbits can cry, but I swear I saw tears welling up in his eyes as well. I felt the grief inside me grow as well. I sat back in the snow, when the dream began to fade. I welcomed the coming awakening. for I could not bear this grief any longer.
Then I was awake.
A couple things, Seriananth, Do you remember doing that at all? It was the 27th. at about 2-4 not exactly sure. but anyhow. Thats what happened folks. I'll keep you posted. :)
