Okay, so I'm at this theme park and go to the ballet class attraction which I thought was pretty lame (I'm more of a rollercoasters and frozen bananas kind of girl), but I agreed. As we wait for the class to start, they wheel in a whole slew on white, diaphanous ballet gowns, and hidden within them was a Solas suit. Which was creepy as all get out. The face character then presents himself. The best way to describe him is... like the ballet master in the Degas paintings. Exacting. Unforgiving. Prima donna. Perfectionistic. He tells us to put on the gowns, then sits down at the piano to play with a flourish, barking orders.
This is just too much for me to stomach, so I get up to leave, but as I do, the face character's limbs deform into something horrific only I can see, and this stage hand starts babbling to me about Tenebrium and the war table icons coming from an older game, their names coming to them later. They had other meanings once, but they were lost to time. I strike up a friendship with this stage hand and his dog. As I leave, I am followed by someone I can't see, but am unaware.
I walk to find my friends, but am attacked by a man I don't recognize wielding a pair of scissors. The fight brings us into the street. I try to fight him off. I throw gotta scissors across the way where traffic will soon be coming. The stage hand appears and tries to help me. But the man reveals a secondary pair of scissors and goes for my artery. I die.
But something's wrong, I'm not dead and I didn't feel any pain at my death. Moreover, I knew I was dreaming, so shouldn't I have woken up? I'm right where I was! The stage hand hurries the attacker out of sight to his personal work stage/ area where his dog is waiting. The two men sit down, the stage hand beggging him to tell him why he did ebay he did, didn't he know that the magic and method of killing me was forbidden? Why was I even the target? The murder appeared to have needed power, but couldn't explain the hatred and rage he felt at just seeing me and simply wanted me to hurt. So he performed the ritual on me.
That's when things got REAL weird. I felt so angry. So upset at the pettiness and irrationality of what he did to me. All of the sudden a stream of what feels like some horrid forgotten language pours out of my mouth. I see the runic letters of each word flak before my vision. The attacker doubles over in agony.
The stage hand at this point looks at the murderer with pity and tells him that this is the very reason he shouldn't have performed this curse on me - it was just as much, if not a far worse curse on him. He would never be free of me, no matter how much his pain would make him wish he was. I stop, frightened at the prospect. The attacker drops his head in his hands, finally realizing what he's done, but still defiant about having done the right thing.
The perspective then suddenly switched from my own to the dog's. I realize then that the dog isn't just a dog - but a demon having agreed to possessing/ sharing the body of the beat to prolong its life. This demon is fascinated by the situation. Intent on seeing how it can benefit itself, who it can make feel emotions it can feed off of. It remarks with some feeling that it hasn't minded feeding of the loyalty and devoted friendship of the stage hand and his dog, but the power to be gained from my plight and that of the attacker is far superior. The demon feels fleeting regret for his soon departure from the dog, but... priorities.
The demon catches whispers on the stage hand tongue about a thing... a golem or vessel of sorts he had been building that was almost ready. Perhaps, he whispered, he could put my spirit there. The demon practically burns with glee at the thought, given that I am still an enraged spirit. Who speaks words to a language better left forgotten.
And that's when I quit my dream because that was soooo not a road I wanted to see the end of. I kind of do, but it'll only end in more blood, more tears, more forgotten things, and more pain. Because that's what this demon needs.
