《Dreams of the Aasimar Cleric》Darkness Spreads Across the Sand pt.2
Advertisement
A dream:
The near black light through amber sky filters down apon the masked figure still chanting his incantation. The woman and her guard seem unswayed by the change in surroundings. The other masked figures move to the center of the plaza and the each kneel and place a hand on the cloth and it begins to rise into the air. As it raises you can make out what was hidden underneath, you can see a scale model of some kind made of the same stone as the plaza, laid out in front of you, It stands a couple feet tall. You can see three pyramids and several obelisk as well as a small path leading up to them and a stone pad set in front of the three. The top off each obelisk seems to be covered or capped in metal, not just plain stone like the rest of it. The incantation stops and the woman motions toward the group far behind her.
Three more guards appear from the group each of them holding a spear and dragged behind each of them is tied two other people. Each guard has one man and one woman tied to him, The people tied are almost certainly some kind of slave or prisoner, They were simple to no clothing made of the simplest of cloth. They have no possessions that you can see. The the guards march forward in a single file line, each of them walking up to the small stone model. The people in binds do not seem to know what is going on they appear to only be scared, very afraid, but it doesn't appear they know of what they are scared only of the nature of the goings on.
The guards usher their charges to just in front of the model, and two of the prisoners throw themselves to their knees at the sight of the masked figures standing there. Holding their hands up in the air and crying and screaming, one by one the first masked figure walks past them and places his scepter against their forehead, as he does each of them stops moving and shaking and stammering but becomes exceptionally quiet, they stand if they are not already and remain motionless, each of the prisoners eyes grow to a total blank white nothingness.

The figure begins to chant again and still the figures remain motionless, the other masked figures begin to step back away from the center of the plaza, while the first walks back and forth continuing whatever he is chanting, his scepter raised high in the air. The now motionless bound figures standing just near the edge of the scaled model. The masked figure walks through this line and stand behind them and turns and once facing them and the center of the plaza finishes his chanting and lets go of the scepter he is holding it falls while remaining vertical and strikes the stone, it doesn't fall. As it strikes the stone each of the motionless figures falls forward toward, none making any attempt to stop themselves or put their hands out to arrest the fall. Each fall and are impaled on the obelisks in the model. The metal caps protruding through them you hear no screaming or crying only struggled breathing, one by one as the struggled breathing stops the metal tip begins to glow slightly and the blood that had been pooling around them starts to lift off the ground and gather around the metal tips. In the moment that the last obelisk begins to glow there is a rumble and the ground begins to shake you can see six points rising out of the sand, obelisk just like the ones from the model begin to rise out of the sand just beyond the plaza, the blood in floating streaks and streams begins to flow to the tips of them as they rise out of the sand. The blood trickles down and fills in the carvings on the large stone monoliths. In the moment they themselves stop raising there is another shake and the sand again begins to move. More points begin to arise out of the sand. There are less pointed as the others and as they rise you can start to make out what they are, they are pyramids made of stone rising from the sand. Three of them each set behind a pair of of the obelisks. As they slowly rise out of the sand the sky begins to darken even more, while there is still light to see it seems to be tinged with a deep crimson amber, growing ever darker. The masked figure grabs ahold of the scepter and speaks a few words and then picks it up from the place where it appeared to have been embedded.

The Granddaughter of Time

What she was not okay with was the Future, an enigmatic woman nearly fanatical in her devotion to making a difference, dragging her along — seemingly, to prove her wrong. It turns out though that the Future is very hard to understand. This story contains heavy themes, including mental illness, existential crisis and death. However, I still tried to eventually convey a message of hope. Several mythical and metaphorical beings in the shape of humans will appear in most chapters. However, they are not meant to be of a specific ethnicity or social background and are instead perceived differently by people around them.
