Description
Changing of Fate – The Legend of dreaMs“About time,” someone said.
“But what about dreams?” dreaMs said.
“Should we not pursue upon our highlighted interests with utter doggedness?”
“That is for children dear, you know better than that,” was the reply.
“You, of all people, should’ve known by now,” there’s that;
and there was no arguing to it.
“Hello 911? How may I help you?” a tired voice droned.
“Yes it’s me, is there any way ever that I can save my dreams? It’s urgent.”
“Not you again. Listen kid, why don’t you go play around with your toys or something. Do something useful like your homework for instance. And while you’re at it, keep out of trouble,” the iron there was really turning red.
“But… this is an emergency… don’t you get it? No one else can help me now,”
“Look, you’ve got the wrong number. Maybe you should try dialing somewhere else,”
there was a short unnoticeable pause
“Try God. God knows everything.”
“Thanks mister! I really appreciate it,” a little sigh of relief escaped its mouth.
“Now… God… where is this… can’t find it in the phone book… hmm…,”
A couple flips later…
“Knock knock!”
“Who’s there?”
“Umm… me?”
“Me who?”
“Me dreams!”
“Wake up dude, you’re not dreaming,”
“I mean my name is…”
“Yeah anyway, what are you looking for,”
“Oh, I was wondering if God was around. You know, God can do anything for us!”
“Hmm… do you have an appointment or something?”
“Huh? You mean I have to?”
“Well sorry little guy. You just have to queue up just like the rest.”
“…”
“Maybe some other day. Don’t worry. You’re not the only one.”
“Okay.”
Trudging along the vacant space the clouds became denser and denser
Uneven surfaces broke through the terrain and made way to monolithic cream
“Hi boy, you don’t look too good. Can I help you there?”
“Eh? Me? Yah of course. I have this horrible problem all day long.”
“Tell me about it.”
“It’s been plaguing me for quite sometime you know.”
“Yes, yes, we all know.”
“We? Huh? What do you mean?”
“I mean, oh never mind, forget about that. How can I help you?”
“Oh ya, you see there’s this someone I know who told me that dreams are for fools.”
“You sure don’t look like one.”
“Exactly! I mean what’s the big deal in having dreams?”
“Yep! Go on…”
“You know, they are like the pillars of our future, the support of your inner self!”
“Okay calm down, calm down there.”
“… and then this person was telling me that I should forget all about it,”
its voice was beginning to waver…
“Here’s what you do…”
“No I can’t do that! It’s against my principles! NO NO NO!”
“Well then what do you expect me to do? I’m NOT God.”
“Like DUUhhhhhhhh!”
“… I don’t have this magic wand here and say –poof- make something happen?!”
“Er…”
“I give you advice, solid ones mind you, and you take it *** damn it!”
“How am I ever going to get around doing that? I don’t like it one single bit.”
“Are you stupid or something? Do you know how to go and get it for yourself?”
“Em, is it like filling in a form or something?”
“NO YOU IDIOT! You have to… ARGGGHHHHH!”
“Hey where are you going! Come back! I haven’t even learnt how to drive yet!”
“…oh now what…”
“In your full repertoire –you should have that-, you need…”
“Hi um, don’t you think that it’s a much better idea if we did this instead?”
“What are you talking about young fellow? Have you lost your mind?”
“See, this goes here, and we can skip this entirely. Yeah, and after that…”
“You listen to me boy. I’m the teacher and you’re the student. Got that?”
“Why cANT WE DO IT THIS WAY!?!!!!!”
On the verge of insanity, so unlike dreaMs.
“Get out of this class now, OUT!”
“I don’t understand why you…”
“That’s it. Don’t ever come back here!”
“Gosh, really? You mean it? I actually get to go? COOL!”
As the last essences of candy floss sterilized the confines
A reality warp marred the cube of existence
Window panes shattered in position
Doors were slammed in stationary
Everything was the same as before
Minus one
-1
“Owch! It’s so bright out here. Where are my shades?”
with non-corporeal matter, it rummages around in search of something.
“Don’t tell me I left them back in the cave? Oh no… how am I going to…,”
a friendly cloud passed over at that point suddenly
“Oh. Thank you my good cloud!”
It started raining
“AieeeEEEE what is this?? There’s this strange funny things all over me!”
It really didn’t help
“Oh cloud, how come you’re throwing all these things at me?”
Cloud at that point, was faced towards the glaring sun, in an intense battle.
“Hey this tastes pretty good. I kinda like it.”
It was indeed, and the liquid had that mysteriously cool and refreshingness to it.
“Cloud?”
The battalion of winds did nothing to the impregnable defences of the cloud.
However…
“THE SKY IS FALLING!!!”
Clumps of cloud was starting to wear off
And as it had nowhere to be safely disposed of, it fell.
Pelting the intangible spark of existence
With a hungerous propensity that could not unfelt it.
It ran, and ran, without legs, it ran, but the winds did not carry it.
Unnoticed, the ensuing battle passed on, and dreaMs ventured into the land.
“Oh hey, what’s this? Mmhmm… I feel good.”
“Ah yes! It’s almost like the winter fires we have back in the chilly cave…,”
another short yet unnoticeable pause
“But much better. A thousand times better.”
The poor little drenched piece of thing lay there for quite awhile
Warmth
It took quite awhile before the shards of water completely disappeared
Pretty neat though
dreaMs never lost interest in it
Just sat there, staring at the perfect shiny shape
Unknowingly, with shades on
Of course not for long.
Night came
“Sun, you magnificent light, where are you going?”
Rushing in muffled silence, fled the dying day.
A ghastly ghostly pale bolt shot through the shadowy mist
“…,”
Naturally, there was light
It was getting quite dark you see
And, dreaMs in particular was getting hungry
The round cheesy moon
How scarred and cratered
Yet, as the first cycle, introduced the crescent as a friend
With the stars and solstice yet to come
A full moon glow began to envelope the darkness
Shadow became and grew
Misanthrope born and became dew
Nightmare reared its forelegs up high, with flaming mane and flaring nostrils
Poison of silverthorn was thus forged, in the crystal moltenness of twilight.
Did by some power dreaMs peruse
To summon by desire, an eclipse full
Yet anew was the moon
And stars abright aplenty in sight
Never be rid of the transmogrifying light
“I am a citizen of the night,”
it whispered lightly,
“Of Lord Moon and the silk cocoons, I am rid of this might,”
“Eyes I shall shut, and the ground will I clasp,”
The toxic abundance of oxygen in the unclamored air
Induced an unobstructed passage through time and bloodlines
dreaMs was taking shape
A convoluted mess of intersections
“O the crispness of silence, thou art bickering for more,”
“More yes you will have… for I will have you by my side,”
Leaves fluttered nearby in profusion of thanks
It created welcome din, maintainable irritation
“My little ragamuffin, cute little thing, you shall I name owl,”
“Sharing the lonesome night with me, flying tirelessly,”
“With piercing eyes round and wide open,”
“Bore through effortlessly into a personal seam,”
“For you represent me, my avatar, my entity,”
“None can hide from you, and not say,”
“That one day, I’ll, owl, become that, do this,”
“This urge and undying need,”
“A necessity, need not have to have been reality,”
The serenade went on much longer.
Corals of the night shone and went ablaze
But the crayfish were returning home
“O ye, bright and full be thee, harvest moon,”
“Sons of autumn and daughters of spring have heralded ye,”
“Will ye leave us, long after our aged companionship?”
Threaded clouds of darkness in tandem moved
And concealed the effervescence of tragedy
A striking inadherence maligned the sky
And there dreaMs was left standing
Dawn.
Such was the impact
Of Heavensent meteors
Upon the vulnerable unvenerated soil
Of this stamobile poignant sphere
And there it came
Like a thief in the night
A new wave
A new day
The multipronged attack
And at its vanguard defense
The past, had only dreaMs
“…,”
Imposing flattening grandeur
So much so that even
A blanket of sound could concur
That nothing but sheer frustration
Was the only thing that could break through
This barrier
“Sol! Cursed I am in knowing you!”
“For such greatness in beauty uncompared,”
“Nobles you have granted, hot at your heels,”
“When Kings and Emperors settle for nothing less,”
“Nothing less, but you,”
“…,”
Sunrise
A persona so filled with power
The energy and radiance so intense
It crackles
Yet as impossibilities are constituted
One such states
Were we not blessed with such grace
That bright light, men will forever chase
Ye, whom all seek with haste
Would too, consistently, seek another place
This was all just too much.
For a myconid origin, totally intolerable.
Ages has passed without a healthy shine through oneself
And yet now as summer legally vitalized the body
dreaMs struggled in spasms
Contorting with rigidity
Clutching at a phantom seed
“My eyes… they have… it is…”
“No!”
It is said that all live through a cycle of day and night
That with each cycle, dreaMs lose their life
A part of their lives
Forever severed
With but a stump to remind it proper
“Eternal night! Why do you return to torment me once more?”
“Oh the warm juices of tangerine, your last drops,”
“Shall I keep lingering on the tips of my tongue,”
“Where sweetness taste most perk, there you shall be,”
“Spirit, O Lord, guide me off this path,”
“I wish to live among the offal,”
“That I never have to bask in the presence of such greatness once again,”
“For those lacking have no place in this world,”
“None, but be subject to vehement inhumance,”
And so it was
That dreaMs groped with foresight
Into a damp and warm grotto
Sat there upon the floor
And became one who knew all
One who has seen and have been
The memory of the light, and in paradox
shelters too the entity of eternal night
dreaMs which seek to end all breathing plights
became one only known as
the Oracle of Light.
