[PRP] A nights Dream (Astrophel & Mahdi)

[LunaRei_SilverBlood]

The sun had recently set. Astrophel wasn't a strict night creature, but for obvious reasons it was a time of day he preferred. The angeni though was dreams were anything put peaceful. Shadow figures swirling about, blood scattered. It was something unfamiliar, but familiar at the same time. A voice that was full of hatred and screams... But everything was covered in a fog. His mind wasn't letting him see what was happening. Even though he already knew. The other being in his mind stirred at the dreams. It wasn't to often that the stallion had these dreams. But Asty was a bit proactive tonight. He was able to see everything that happened. It was as if it just happened...

Even though she was in a new and unfamiliar territory Mahdi had no trouble falling asleep. To her, the unfamiliar was welcome and presented very little threat. The dreams that came to her though, were not her own. She dreamt in the same fashion as she lived in the waking realm. An eternal wanderer, she'd roam the dreamscapes restlessly until the the sun rose.

As a trespasser she was rarely noticed by the dreamer. Even those who could see her rarely payed her any mind, forgetting the glowing presence by the time they woke. Those who remembered her, rarely put any significance in her strange but somehow familiar form.

She herself rarely understood the meaning of what she saw. Even though she'd glance the occasional familiar face, it was even rarer for her to be able to identify the dreamer who's vision she was spying on.

As she wandered that night she came across a young filly, discussing with her father the rather serious matter of how fast exactly a rabbit could fly. The strange image of a hallowed out and bloody chest in which only the lungs still remained, breathing in and out slowly. Several dreams of running though the plains. One of falling down from a cliff. And then....

Blood. Screams. The visions flitted to and fro as if the dreamer himself was interfering. She tried to move on but found her self drawn back again and again. This was rare. It was only when the dreamer was experiencing strong emotions for their dream that she ever had this difficulty.

Sometimes, if the dream was of a lover or a child, she didn't mind. It was pleasant soothing. This one though was violent and the few scenes she could make sense of made her sick to her stomach. She wouldn't be able to continue like this for long.

She stepped forward, looking for the dreamer. Who was it? Usually the dreamer was central to the dream. But here... she couldn't understand it. The dreamer was divided, shifting in a frantic and haphazard manner. She couldn't focus on him, which left only one option, he would have to focus on her.

She stood her ground amidst the chaos and closed her eyes. Her mouth moved. At first no sound came out, but she chanted her mantra, repeating it over and over until it grew from the smallest of whispers to a booming voice that was all but impossible to ignore. Still chanting she opened her eyes and turned, looking once again for the dreamer.

The chaos that ensued in front of him, caused the stallion heart ache... He felt such a loss but, what was he loosing? Asty reared his metaphorical head, wanting to wake up and get out from this... Even he didn't like this dream. He often did whatever he could to forget that fateful day. The sister he lost, who needed to be found was unattainable to him. Just as Asty started to with the fight, Astrophel's ears twitched to a sound that was growing louder and louder...

The chaos was dimmed out from his mind. Her dark blue eyes would look for the source of the noise, seeing a spectral figure... Could it possibly be an angel of mercy, here to settle the pain? He looked upon the figure... Long locks of hair... Stars that rested in them. He couldn't see much else... Just this feeling of calmness coming from here. He wanted to move forward to her. But it was as if something was keeping him from it... He pulled and pulled.. Only making a few steps forward toward her... He felt helpless, trapped and unable to move from the sea of chaos to the island of calm...

(( ._.* I typed out a reply a few days ago. I must have xed out the window before posting it though... Unless it was eaten by a post demon. Either way, sorry. ))

The vision began to wobble. Her eyes darted about, trying desperately to focus on something. Anything. While the effect on the dreamer differed, interrupting the vision in this fashion would leave only one thing clear to her. The source himself.

She spotted him and everything snapped back into place. Only this time she knew where to go.

Her appearance differed for the dreamers, her basic form being the only constant. An angeni in her human form. Unsure of how she looked to the colt she stepped forward, arms extended. He couldn't hurt her here, but he could make this far more complicated then it needed to be.

( XD It's okay. It' happens ^^ )



Astrophel, though an adult was still just a colt in this dream. Not that he felt different from his adult form. His eyes watched the angelic creature open it's arms. Was that where he should go? Anywhere would be better then this right?

He pushed forward to go to her, everything was trying to pull him back. It was like hitting a wall... He trudged forward slowly and painfully getting closer. When finally his nose touched her hand. The pull of everything behind him released. What was this creature here. Even though she had the appearance of a two legger, something about her... It was familiar. Not in a 'we've met' kind of way.

The dream shattered into a thousand pieces. Each shrinking as they fell back into the darkness. She sighed as the darkness crept closer. Emotional dreams like that were always hard on her.

She opened her eyes, gazing down at the colt. He was beautiful. She fell to her knees, sliding her arms around his neck. He'd disappear soon, off to another dream or the waking world. The vision had been the only thing holding them together.

He didn't disappear though, and after a while she found herself sitting there, puzzled. He wasn't here by her power. She had no power to hold someone captive in a broken dream. By his power then? She wasn't sure. He appeared to her as a wind colt, bright red with delicate glowing swirls. In reality though he could be anything. He could be earth bound, he could be a kolona... She hesitated a moment then stood straight.

"Young one," her voice materialized in images as much as it did in sound, "you must be moving on now."

Astrophel looked up at the female figure. In her warm embrace, he was soon released. He looked around as things started to change. Getting a little fuzzy. She told him he had to go... But he had wanted to stay with her. It was getting cold again...

It was suddenly then that his dark blue eyes shot open and he looked up. "What... was that?" He blinked a couple times. He could still feel the warm touch from the figure that was there... He shook his head, his head wings wiggled a bit, and he stretched himself out. It was still dark out, danw wasn't to far away though. Astrophel glanced around, but he jsut couldn't shake the feeling...

He wondered if the figure he saw was real. Its not like he'd ever known. Though he wondered, maybe in heaven...? Nah, Astrophel decided it wasn't going to be worth the effort. He had bad dreams before, and this wasn't anything different from the usual. That female was like a guarduan angel though... For the first time ever, he was saved in his dreams.

The foal vanished and the scene began to shift once again. A field full of black wheat. As she turned and a flock of winged usida took flight. After a while it shifted and she was falling. That one was short. Another shift and she was far beneath the sea staring right at the face of what she could only assume was a sea monster. Next to her a muscled stallion ridden by an Indian warrior clothed in a wolf's hide. The stallion reared and the monster backed off.

She scene shifted once more and she found herself in her bed. She felt her weight and the texture of the grass beneath her and knew beyond doubt that she was back in the waking world.

It had been a fairly average night. Only one thing nagged at her mind. Who was the strange foal who had held her captive so long?  

[LunaRei_SilverBlood]

Astrophel wasn't able to fall asleep again. He kept finding himself distracted by the angel in his dream. And before he even knew it, the sun was rising, and the air around was getting warmer. He shook himself out and stretched his wings. The other being that stirred inside him wanted to comment on the creature he saw, but Astrophel wouldn't let Asty out.

That day would seem like a fog. Nothing seemed all that clear, as he went about his daily activities seeing other horses and flying through the skies. It wasn't until a few days later that he had really snapped back into reality. there was never another dream, or another sighting of the angel.

So letting go of the idea, he went back on his quest to find out what exactly it was that was missing from his life. He had landed on the ground at sunset in a field of flowers.

For Mahdi, however, sleep came over her a second time quite easily. It wasn't something she ever had trouble with. Slipping into the dream realm was as easy wandering.

She wouldn't stir again until morning.

((Sorry, it's a short one. ))

A couple weeks had passed now. What happened in the dream didn't cross his mind again. And the sun was starting to set, and he was in a field. getting himself some dinner. The grass tasted fresh this evening. There weren't to many others around.


(Thats fine. We should probably have them meet now, unless you wanted to do it as a separate RP )
