me and two of my friends were stuck on an island, we couldn't get any signal with our phone line, we looked up and at the top of the mountain ahead of us was some form of communication system.
"don't worry we can climb up there and we should get signal from up there" i said "maybe we can connect our phone to that line somehow to boost the signal", we ran towards the mountain and we began to run at very high speed leaping up at rediculous heights, it was almost an adrenaline rush, the three of us almost racing each other, grabbing ahold of rocks then leaping up to the next one, we came to what looked like the headquarters of the communication towers, we thought we might get seen so continued on quickly, we soon came to a sort of forest. as we were running there was a large drop into a valley.

It was hard to see with the trees concealing most of the sunlight, but just enough to see each other and the branches, we had slowed down a lot now in terms of speed but were still travelling quite fast, we jumped from tree to tree acrobatically, suddenly one of my friends shouted "STOP!" "What's up?" i asked, he was staring at a large pool of thick dark mud, "quicksand" he whispered.

I started to climb up a tree a little bit to get over the quicksand, moments later i realised both my friends were being consumed by the quicksand that they had slipped in, i jumped back and pulled one out of the quicksand, i turned around to see my other friend, he was up to his neck, i leaped towards a giant rock poking out of the stuff, one side was un climbable so i had to leap around the other side out of sight of my friend and jump over the rock.

I got to him as his head was just submerged under the quicksand, his hand which was reaching up went under too "NO!" i shouted launching my hand into the pool and grabbing his, i scrunched my face up as i used all my face to drag him up and out of the quicksand and onto the flat bit of the rock.
He was on his arse panting for air and coughing and gagging.
I looked ahead and just nearby was a cave.
"through there" i said pointing at the cave.

As we got closer we heard a growl, we all drew our pistols, three large cats jumped out of the cave towards us, we shot them down, i peered into the cave and saw the eyes of a smaller cat, i didn't want to shoot unless it attacked first as i would never kill an animal unless in self defence.
A leapoard which was without the black pigment on its fur prowled out of the cave with a fierce hiss bearing its huge fangs, it darted towards us , i pulled my trigger to hear only "click click" i looked at my pistol and thought "shit no ammo" my friend shot it just as it leaped for the attack.

We proceeded further into the cave, after the end of the cave we were on a beach and it was filled with something extroadinary, lion men standing upright with huge manes were fighting each other, the other lion men were blue with dark dreadlocks where as the first type we saw looked just like upright lions with brown manes.
I saw my friend make an allegiance with the brown mane ones and we joined battle, attacking the darker lions.

Soon we chased the ones retreating down the beach and up onto a cliff face, i was ahead of the rest, chasing the last one down i jumped across a gap in the cliff and tackled it, as i turned it over it was a female lion, it looked up at me and whispered my name before i saw a brown foot stomp the head of the blue lioness and it was dead.
i looked at my palms, who was this? how did it know my name?

i looked back at my friend and he too was in shock, he said "we're nothing like them, were nothing to them, to them we're all the same", suddenly i was back chasing the lioness again, as if time had been reversed, but i knew what was coming, this time i jumped across the gap and the lioness tripped falling to the ground, i picked her up over my shoulder and made a break for it, i ran up the cliff and i got to a stairway, as i was climbing it the brown mane lions stopped, shuddered and backed off in fear.
I was questioning why they had been so fearful of the area i was running into.

I got to the very top of the cliff and laid the lioness down next to two blue creatures, both looked at her and said "what happened."

as she woke i asked who she was, "ill show you" she said. She got up and raised her hands into the air, i looked around and she was controlling the water suddenly we were all dragged into the water and were going towards a large arc of water flowing in the middle of the sea, we passed through the arc and were in a completely different place, underwater yet i could breath.
"we're back in time" i heard, i was morphed into a mollusc, sort of a disguise i guessed, and the other 3 were lions but with finned tails and no legs, sort of like myr lions.

"this is where our ancestors lived" i heard again as i was swimming around the underwater coral area.



i woke up.
