Thread: Raven Knight's Dream Travels

Thanks raven, I appreciate it

I fell asleep with my light sound machine on. I was focused on meeting Nomad at the moon. I remembered Nomad seemed to think there was something attacking MoSh. So my goal was to meet Nomad on the moon so we could investigate this. I fell asleep and found myself on the moon and lucid…

I was standing outside the biodome. A spaceship landed near me. It opened and then a cat man got out of the ship. He was acting really strange. He was smoking something. It looked like a joint.

"Drugs…" I said, "Seriously? I thought we were going to help MoSh! You can't do that if you're wasted!"

He said he had gotten distracted. He put out the joint and threw it on the ground. I shot him a disapproving look for littering up the moon. I didn't have to say anything. Nomad made his joint disappear. I asked him if he was ready to go check on MoSh. He said yes. I used Through the Never and focused on opening a portal to find MoSh. A portal opened. Selene appeared and went through. A portal opened and Basara came through. He said if there was going to be healing needed he would come along. Nomad and I followed Basara and Selene through the portal.

On the other side we were in a bedroom. I could vaguely make out MoSh. The rest of the room was a bit fuzzy. What was crystal clear was a dark figure standing over MoSh. The dark figure was drawing energy out of MoSh. The figure looked up at me. It was an older man with gray hair in a black suit with a black fedora hat. He was old but he didn't look weak. He had black stuff dripping from his mouth as if he had been eating something out of MoSh. I told the dark man to step away from the bed or prepare to have his ass kicked. He laughed at me in a menacing manner. While I was watching the man Nomad had circled around behind him. Nomad now tackled the man and shoved him through the far wall of the bedroom. I looked over at MoSh. He was surrounded by a dark aura. Basara said he would start the healing but I might be needed outside. I phased through the wall.

Outside I saw Nomad grappling with an old man. Nomad was part jaguar and fairly large but the old man was holding his own. Selene was slipping blasts of moonlight into the fray. Nomad finally got hold of the old man by a leg and swung him around a couple of times before throwing him to the ground. I immediately used Battery to hit him with a bolt of lightning. He was blasted hard and turned into a mist of some kind. I used Damage, Inc. to flame the mist. Nomad added more fire and Selene hit it with more moonlight blasts. The mist was vaporized.

The three of us teleported back to the bedroom. Basara was playing and singing while white energy flowed through MoSh. Nomad said we should take him to the Healing Glen. I went over to MoSh and carefully lifted his dream body from his sleeping form. Nomad opened a portal and we went through it into the Healing Glen.

On the other side the Crystal Golem met us. He looked at MoSh. He took MoSh from me. He said we all needed to be cleaned up. I used Full Moonlight on the others. Nomad played with his didgeridoo to send healing energy through me. The Crystal Golem took MoSh into the cave. I followed him inside. He lied MoSh in a bed of grass. He said MoSh would need a special mixture for his healing. He described the ingredients needed for the mixture. I did a double take as MoSh got up… or at least part of him did… A second MoSh got up just as his dream body got up out of his physical body. I was staring at that. MoSh said this was his dream body… what was lying on the grass was his astral body… uh… It didn't make a lot of sense to me. MoSh and Nomad headed outside. Basara was playing a song for the sleeping MoSh. I turned to follow Nomad but the Crystal Golem stopped me. He said he wanted to speak to me.

I stayed back with the Crystal Golem. He looked at me closely. He said he has seen that I have a very deep seated parasite that is continuously infecting me with its dark energy. He said he could see it there but normal healing methods do not reach it. He said regular healing methods will get rid of the main symptoms but they leave the cause. I told him I am aware of it, and I have been searching the different worlds for some way to get rid of it permanently. I told him that many ideas have been tried, and some seem to work for a while, but nothing lasts. He said he wanted to make sure I was aware of this parasite. He said he had an idea of something that might help, but he would have to look into it further. I thanked him for helping me. He returned his attention to MoSh.

I left the cave and saw Nomad face to face with a huge snake. The snake was a cobra, raised up with its hood spread and prepared to strike. An attack? Here? As I came out of the cave the snake turned towards me and hissed loudly and violently.

"You chose the wrong place to attack, serpent!" I yelled at the snake as I formed Witchblade into a sword and attacked the giant snake. The snake immediately took to the sky. I managed stabbed my sword into the snake's tail as it was taking off and I was pulled along with it. I don't think the snake even noticed it had been stabbed. "Come back here, you flakey jerk!" I yelled at the snake as I was pulled into the sky.

"Wait!" Nomad called from down below, "That's MoSh!"

"MoSh?" I asked, more to myself than to anyone. I retracted my Witchblade sword back to a bracelet and fell from the snake's tail. I landed in front of Nomad. "He's a snake?" I asked Nomad.

The giant snake flew through the clouds and then returned and landed in front of us. He transformed back into MoSh. I felt a bit stupid. "Sorry about that," I said, "I thought you were attacking us. I didn't know you could transform into a snake!"

I heard something. Not with my ears. In my head. Someone was calling me. I could hear it. I told Nomad I had to go. I used Through the Never and focused on getting to where I was being called. A portal opened. I wondered if someone was being attacked. I formed my Witchblade armor and jumped through the portal.

On the other side I was flying somewhere. It was hard to make out much. I saw someone there. I looked closer to see that person. He looked familiar. Pablo? I asked what was going on. I asked if he was ok or if there was trouble. He didn't answer me. He was watching me. I looked around to see if there was trouble. I saw a couple of strange black forms moving closer. I used my sword and hit them away. I looked back at Pablo. He was trying to open a portal now. I went over to him. I said we could go to the moon. He opened a portal. I looked through it to see where it led. I was losing the dream. It had been going on for quite a while. I told Pablo I would try to find him again. Everything around me faded to black as I woke.

Wow. Why didn't you guys tell me you were coming? That is crazy... I always knew my astral body and dreambody were two different things.

oh and thanks for not cutting me up.

I don't remember a thing tho. I just remember a dream with some of you.. and no other details.

I was concerned for you. So, we just decided to go, and see if there was something wrong. Apparently your dream body has an alter ego of badassness.

I fell asleep with my light/sound machine and went into a WILD. I was focused on getting to the moon. I didn't make it there…

I found myself in a forest. Since I didn't end up where I thought I would I ended up only being semi-lucid. I looked around to see where I was. Q was there with me. He said he thought it would be a good idea for me to play a healing song for Malkus. I didn't immediately recognize the name. I asked who he was talking about. He rolled his eyes as if I was being slow. He said Malkus, that Templar I had brought home with me. A Templar? I asked him why I would play a song for a Templar. Q said because I am a healer… and because he didn't think Malkus is really a bad person, he was just taken in by a very convincing and manipulative individual by the name of Robert. He said the lies Robert told him was all he had ever known, but he was sure I could do something about that. He said to go over there and follow my instinct about what to do. He said I should watch my approach. He said somehow Malkus had gotten the idea we were going to kill him. Q sarcastically added that he didn't know how he could've possibly gotten that idea Miss. Raven "The Only Good Templar Is a Dead Templar" Knight. He gave me a dirty look. I said it is true in Assassin's Creed… He said there are no absolutes in reality, not even all Templars being assholes. I gave Q a dirty look. I said he had attacked me. He said Malkus hadn't. He said Malkus had just tried to escape, stopping to fight Altaïr only when his escape route was cut off. He told me to stop arguing and just get over there and do what I do best - heal someone's heart.

I headed over in the direction Q had pointed. I don't know what I expected to find, but what I did find was a man sitting on the ground by a tree. He was just sitting there. I knew Q had told me to find a Templar, but this man looked more in need right now. I went over to him. He looked up at me briefly and then back down at the ground. In that brief glance I thought his eyes looked cold but also afraid. He said he knew someone would come soon. Just make it quick. I didn't know what he was talking about. I looked at him for a minute and I felt myself drawn to use Touch My Heart from the Devil Hunter Yohko soundtrack on this man. He asked why I wasn't just getting it over with. Do what I came to do. I thought he was being a bit rude. I also wondered how he could know what I had come to do. I told him it would all be over in about 4 minutes (the length of the song). He said to just do it. He was quite impatient. I focused on using the song Touch My Heart. I focused the song on the man. Golden energy formed and flowed through him. The song ended. He looked up at me now. His eyes looked different now. Not so cold. And more confused than afraid. I asked him how he felt. He said he felt good. But wasn't I here to kill him? I said no, why would I? I said maybe now we could meet properly. My name is Raven. He said his name is Malkus. I did a double take. Q had said the Templar's name was Malkus. I had found him and used a healing song on him without even realizing it was him! Everything around me faded to black as I woke.

The pain in your chest, when you kept trying to dream with us.

That's a way dream battle, Raven!

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.
