on 08-04-2010 at 02:27 PM (New Dream Adventures of Raven Knight)
There was an aged Indian shaman here wearing a hat and looking at me
with a very intense gaze, I wondered who that was and why he was here
while Tigress didn't seem to be. Since the man seemed so focused on me,
I walked over towards him… I recognized his energy. Somehow, instead of
ending up in Tigress' dream, I had ended up locating don Juan…
I
surveyed my surroundings a bit more, searching for any sign of why I
had ended up here instead of where I had intended to go. Don Juan was
silently watching me as if he was expecting something interesting to
happen, such as me growing wings and suddenly flying away, I figured I
could make that happen, but I wanted to know what was going on here. So
I went over closer to don Juan and asked him if he knew why I was
there, I had not intended to be there. He asked if I wanted to be
elsewhere, I said yes, I had dream goals I was completing that included
meeting Tigress for a shared dream since we're still working on a
confirmed one. He said I didn't need to be anywhere else, I needed to
be right here, right now, to stretch my mind outward into the other
realms because a mind that is not stretched will collapse in on itself.
I was most likely giving him a blank look, since I didn't know where
all of that had come from or what the purpose was, then he said I
obviously wouldn't see it until it was right in front of me, so here it
is.
The scene around me shifted completely to something a bit disorienting,
but I focused and was able to get my bearings… I will try to relate it
as clearly as possible. There were now four separate scenes going on
around me all at the same time, all different… two of the scenes were
similar to each other, the other two were also similar to each other,
but the two pairs were vastly different. I was now standing at the
entrance to a small village (the entrance to a grave yard) (the
entrance to a volcanic cave) (the entrance to a park) where I was
looking at Callisto from the Xena series (Demona from the Gargoyles
series) (a demonic looking Callisto) (a zombie Demona) with an army of
raiders (zombies) (demonic entities) (more zombies) following them. Now
that I think the complexity of these parallel events is conveyed
sufficiently, I will split the four separate dreams out…
*Callisto's Party*
I was at the entrance to a village like those found in RPG's. I was
looking out of the village at the road leading into town, it looked
like the main road going into town and through the village. This road
was now blocked by a woman warrior and a group of ruffians that looked
like a street gang decked out in leather and spikes. Now, for people
reading this dream that didn't know already, Callisto is the first
person I ever used my soul healing on, that was when I was just
discovering the ability. Callisto had been driven insane by the violent
deaths of her family and at this point is filled with nothing but
anger, hate, and a lust for revenge.
So I knew what to do about this. Callisto ordered her goons to attack
the town, and leave no one alive… or maybe leave one alive to tell
everyone that she would keep killing until Xena showed herself. The
raiders moved towards the village, I formed my Witchblade sword and
attacked the raiders. My Witchblade armor blocked their attacks, my
Witchblade sword cut through their armor, and with the speed I got
training with Vegeta I was fast enough to keep them all out of the
village.
When all of the thugs were dead, Callisto was still in the road looking
exasperated. She said she should have known better than to think anyone
Aries could dig up would have any skill, all of them losing to one
woman, who did I think I am, Xena? She moved in and attacked me, saying
she was clearly going to have to do everything herself. I fought back
in defensive mode, just blocking her attacks and not attacking her in
return. I focused on the song Until It Sleeps by Metallica, which I use
to put hatred and anger and a need for revenge to rest. The song played
through and had a visible calming effect on Callisto, she no longer
looked as crazy as she had just moments ago… She looked a bit
disoriented, which is normal for someone who has just had their heart
healed, then she looked at me strangely and said she had been wasting
her time chasing Xena when she should be following up the rumor that
her sister still lived. She mounted a horse I hadn't noticed until now
and rode away.
*Demona's Hoard*
I was at the entrance to a graveyard that was filled with zombies, more
zombies were clawing their way out of the graves, all of them were
filthy and decaying. Only one person there was still alive, and that
person was Demona from the animated series Gargoyles.
The zombies were gathering around Demona as if waiting for orders of
some kind, she indicated the gate to the graveyard where I was standing
and told the zombies to spread their curse until the whole of humanity
had been destroyed. The first thing I thought of was that it was good
she was only after people… but that wasn't even the point. The point
was she was filled with anger and hate, and she needed to have her
heart healed just as her twinners had needed when I was finding them
long ago. I had to fight my way through the zombie hoard to get to
Demona, but zombies have never given me much trouble, and I used my
Witchblade sword to cut through them all until the zombies were dead…
again… and I was facing Demona. So now I focused on Until It sleeps,
which is the song I always used to use on Demona's twinners when I
found them, evading Demona's attacks as I used the song spell. When it
was finished, Demona looked visibly calmer and somewhat disoriented.
Without a word she took to the sky and disappeared from sight. Though
she hadn't said anything I was confident her heart was now free from
hate.
*Aries' Army*
I was at the entrance to a large cave that was illuminated with a
strange red light, and it was filled with people who looked sort of
like humans but not quite. Something was off about them, that was it…
they all had pale gray skin and glowing red eyes, they all looked
possessed. They were also all stamping their feet and growling and
snarling in a menacing fashion, they were clearly ready to go and just
needed to be given the sign to move out. A woman emerged from the
middle of the group, it was Callisto off of the Xena series, but there
was something wrong with her, too. She didn't just look crazy, she
looked totally demonic with glowing red eyes, actual horns protruding
from her head, although those were small, and a fiery aura around her,
she indicated to the demonic army to go forth and burn everything to
the ground, let no living thing remain, this world would be hers now,
and she would remake it in her own design, but one exception… bring
Xena back alive, she had special plans for Xena, then she laughed an
evil sounding laugh.
Since these people all looked possessed, the first healing song I
thought of was Liberate by Disturbed, although I have never actually
used that spell on Callisto that I could remember. So as I was standing
in the cave entrance, completely confusing the possessed warriors as to
who would be stupid enough to do that, I focused on Liberate. The song
played, and I focused on defending myself as the possessed warriors
were trying to kill me. I didn't want to fight them if they were being
controlled against their will… The spell had its intended effect, the
possessed soldiers stopped attacking me and looked disoriented. Due to
certain parts of the Liberate song, "All the hate in your heart will be
leaving you blind!" and "To take away all the hatred that darkens the
light in your eye!" it also had the effect of cleansing the hate and
anger from Callisto's heart. This spell didn't go unnoticed, however.
There was a flash of fire and Aries appeared, looking the way he looked
on the Xena television show, and he looked angry. He was looking around
the room, asked the warriors what they thought they were doing, get to
battle! A few of them seemed energized by the thought of going to
battle, most of them said there was no reason to wage war. Aries said
they should wage war because he commands it, but there was apparently
enough of the healing energy still in them that they could not be
controlled so easily.
Aries rolled his eyes with obvious annoyance and then said they should
kill the ****, pointing at me, he added that if they needed a reason
why he had a large bag of gold to go to whoever got my head first. Most
of the warriors left, some of them attacked me, so I figured they were
fair game since they were acting off their own greed this time. I
quickly dispatched them with my Witchblade sword, Callisto killed a
couple of them, too. Now Callisto was mad at Aries, angry at him for
using her and tricking her, Aries just said that he knows she likes to
be used and abused. Callisto said she would not allow Aries to use her
any longer. Aries said then both Callisto and I would die. He said we
should know better than to *** with a god. I said I didn't see how
anyone so pathetic could pass for a god, but whatever. Aries was using
dark energy, as was to be expected, and it wasn't very stable, which
was also to be expected. So the plan would be to hit him with light
energy. He was throwing fire with his hands, I used my own fire spell,
but used pure light energy on it. The light energy surrounded Aries,
clearly draining his energy. When it was done he was pissed but also
looked quite weakened. Then a small imp appeared in a burst of fire
beside Aries, trying to get his attention, Aries asked what in an
annoyed voice that made the imp flinch. I couldn't hear much of what
the imp said, but it had something to do with Hades… Aries then told
Callisto and me that we were lucky, he had pressing matters to attend
to, but our time would come and we would be begging for mercy. Aries
and the imp both vanished in a blast of fire.
*The Zombie Queen*
I was now at the entrance to a park at night, there were dim street
lights illuminating small areas of the park just enough that I could
see movement. I used my ocular Borg implant to enhance my vision so I
could see well in the dark and then I realized the park was crawling
with zombies! So it was time for a zombie hunt. That sounded good to
me, so I formed my Witchblade sword and headed into the park taking
down zombies one and two at a time as I came across them. I was making
my way through the park, feeling out the distinct energy of the zombies
and eliminating them, when I came across a particularly strange zombie…
this zombie wasn't a human zombie, it was a gargoyle zombie,
particularly Demona! WTF? I didn't see how a gargoyle could become a
zombie. Was there any way I could fix this? Now that she was already a
zombie? I didn't see any way… and while I was thinking about it she was
attacking me. I saw no option but to fight back, and I ended up killing
her. After that I went through the rest of the park and hunted down the
remaining zombies, at least some of which still thought they were
hunting me…
*Back to don Juan*
Now I was back in the desert with don Juan, he was giving me an odd
look, I asked him if any of those had even been real… he said of course
they were real, they were other planes of existence as I well know, so
stop playing dumb since I wasn't even doing a very good job at it. He
said I had stretched my mind into four different worlds simultaneously,
keep it up and this will be possible IWL. I couldn't stop the spurt of
laughter before it got out, oops… I hadn't actually intended to laugh
in his face… he didn't look annoyed, he just looked at me as if waiting
for an explanation of what I had found amusing. I told him that before
he wastes any more time on me, he might want to know I can't do ****
IWL, so if that was the goal it was pointless. He just shook his head
and said I already have power in my waking life, and so does my friend
MoSh, all we have to do is allow ourselves to use it, which is the goal
of expanding one's mind. He said I am already seeing beings on the
shadow plane, getting visions from other planes, how long would I deny
the evidence given to me by my own senses? I don't know if the question
was rhetorical or not, but I woke before I could answer.
