[Memory Dream] I'm a horse

Image

The same emerald-green flame from the woodland burned brightly from the single-pane windows of that house. The scenery beyond had changed some, from a lush, rolling forest to a more tropical, arid climate. It was Fridgar's homeland, Upsala, Southern Gauthrel, ruled by the slaving clan of Nordhoff. While he missed the land some, he felt no remorse for the homes that became swamped by the rolling emerald flames.

This room, unlike the rest of the dream, carried incredible detail. Every nook and cranny was carefully placed, carved into the memory of the Lothar. It was in this house that he'd spent most of his life, and the detail reflected it so. When he laid eyes on that chair, he didn't need to see the face of the man who sat upon it. Only one man sat upon that chair, as though it was his throne, and that was Robek. Various pelts of the monsters and animals he'd slain laid woven together on the frame, which Robek had always claimed was made from the bones of a Feron.

The arm that laid upon the rest, gripping tight in anger, only further cemented the idea. This was, indeed, Robek. Looking upon the man brought Fridgar's hairs to stand on end, made his blood turn cold, and his skin; pale. "Anywhere. Anywhere is better than-" "-Fridgar," the deep, hoarse voice of an older Lothar cut him off. The young Lothar looked to his sire, petrified. "What have I told you about leaving?"

With that, the muscular arm pressed into the rest, and the figure lifted from the chair. The man was towering, far above Fridgar and Sybil alike. He must have been something like ten feet tall. Unnoticed by the Lothar, the room grew bigger around them to accommodate the size of the man. When he turned to face them, his features were empty, overwritten. His face was a culmination of scribbles, black and crossed off completely.

In his free hand; he held an empty tankard. The air around him stunk of mead. A deep, throaty sigh left the monstrous man. "I guess I'll have to remind you."

Fridgar didn't reply, he simply remained frozen there, trembling slightly. Beyond the house, the emerald green flames rolled closer and closer, until they, too, swamped their home in their burning wrath. The dim atmosphere of the home lit up a vicious green in tandem with the connection.

Some sort of disconnect began to form in Sybil's mind, the moment that the place began to grow in detail. It was a buzzing migraine, that seemed to almost cause their vision to twist and curve. The immaculate detail of the house brought with it a deeply seated confusion within the dreamer's mind. Nothing began to make sense, as Sybil's eyes began to dart back and forth. It was almost sickening, how uncanny this place was. It was as though there was truth, hiding just beneath the thin layer of skin that the dream had to protect itself with. Their eyes began to travel down to their hands. Realizing just how hard it was beginning to get, to move their own fingers even an inch.

Bruises.

Sybil's pale skin served as a parchment to the beautiful array of bluish black discoloration. Like some sort of perverse rendition of the dream's state before, it was meticulous in how coated they were in the marks. Their forearm was swollen, and reddened. Two of their fingers were wrapped together, broken from some half remembered accident. Everything down their neck to their chest seemed to be brutally covered in these ceaseless marks. Each moment of realization of their presence, cause the pain to flare, just a bit more, as though punishing them for recognizing its existence. The dreamer's cut, discolored lips began to tremble. It was like watching their own body rot before their own eyes.

Sybil's cracked lips part, as the large figure began to stand. As though trying to warn Fridgar. But only spittle managed to come out, paired with a low groaning sound. Their vocal cords strained with effort, the outline of a hand on their throat flaring, ever so slightly. Had their vocal cords been crushed? The dreamer didn't know. All they knew was that it hurt, and as the lights began to take on that sickly greenish hue, that things would only serve to get worse. Legs shaking, as Fridgar freezes in place, Sybil moves forward, hand on his wrist. Something guided the dreamer. Something that could not be fully described. Like some sort of half remembered memory, or ingrained instinct.

Letting out a gagging cough, Sybil tried to get Fridgar's attention, their hand squeezing at his wrist. Their clothes rotting from their body. Their scarf slowly shifting into that of a rope. If they couldn't speak, then they'd run. But they wouldn't leave this man behind. Tugging on his skin, even if it meant running into the flames, Sybil tried to pull him from his frozen state, in some brute force attempt.

Overview

This was dream roleplay at it's best, a lovely read, a fun read and in the end also a sad one. The beautiful, immersive text pulled me in. The music was perfect. And then it ended, abruptly, which I understand ... yes, I do. It was still a beautiful dream to have. The fifteen points are yours.
