"The Dream" | Guiscard, Kashi
Darkness.
The clanging steel and ringing gunfire ended abruptly.
Yet there was nothing this beating heart could fight. Defenseless, the darkness mocks.
As though on the horizon, a flicker of blue light. Two more, but closer, three, now ten, many, many more
Lumistones, their colors arrayed!
He does not have his consciousness, but he has his thoughts.
“Mine Vachelous! I am home! I must be resting among the Martyrs.”
The stones flicker, and there is Kashi. She stares at Guiscard, her enrapturing, yet very polite smile.
“You promise to take me here?” and he hears his words
“Here, and to many other landmarks of Elyon’s handiwork.”
The field is overcast by a shadow thick as night. Kashi’s face sinks as the shadow dims the flicker of the
lumistones. “Here? But there is nothing left!”
A steel rod slams into the field, the earth erupts, a tsunami of destruction. The earth turns to fire and ash as it
sails into the sky. The closer it comes, the more shape it takes. Within the ash is a figure, a face, a mask. He has
never seen it before, but the terror tells all.
But he cannot say what he thinks, or express the courage in his heart, proclaiming he will slay every servant of
this demonic entity.
The mask of ash replies to his thoughts with words that are not spoken “Then begin with my most faithful...”
“Attrhu!” he thinks.
A silhouette walks out of the mask. The mask continues “He will not fail in bringing death to Ashnuw.” The mask
manifests a sword which lands in the knights hand. He clasps it, and flies toward the silhouette. It comes into full
view, “Hello brother!” it addresses Guiscard “Why would you kill me?”
The terror is too much. Guiscard capitulates, his bones freeze then shatter. The mask opens into a maw as he
falls towards it.
Darkness. Then a field of orange. The flag of the Order of the Martyrs. It has drawn on it the map of Ashnew, then
half of the map becomes blue, the Shadow, and the map is torn in two.
He falls more, then feels water. It is all around, black, and colder than freezing. He swims to get to the top, but the
water rises with him. He swims harder. He feels his leg kick something. Below him...there is a body. He looks
around, and there are dozens, hundreds of cold bodies. He knows their faces.
Acid
Serafina
Maki
Jade
The Dragon
And many others...all non-humans.
He swims harder, the water heats up, it boils and evaporates, everything is spinning, spinning, spinning.
White light...he stands amidst...calm.
Then...a voice “Your not dead yet Guiscard. He isn’t ready to take you.”
For the first time he is able to reply “W-who is that?”
A tug on his tunic “It’s me Guiscard!”
He looks to where the hand is pulling “N-Nichole?”
“You’re not dead yet...He isn’t ready to take you.”
“So...so are we-?”
Bells interrupt...
"What is that?"
"That was Jade. She just passed through."
Questions fill his eyes.
“I can answer that later, but first look around.”
The light, as though it were fog, lifts, and he sees that he standing in a field of ash. “Over there,” he points “I see
a face.”
Many bodies lie resting. Their faces are calm. Once again, he knows these faces. “Sir Eragon? Draldon?
Burrows? Aisha? Beakerson? Squire? No, Elyon please no! They are all dead?”
“Guiscard!”
He turns his tearing eyes.
“Look at them.”
He sees differently, they and the rest are smiling. “How are they so happy?”
“Do you remember?” her voice changes, it is the voice of a diseased, yet wise youth whom he once met “What I
learned is that when your world is a field of ash, when everything around you crumbles, it becomes difficult to
miss the bright light of hope. You just have to look up.”
A clap of thunder, light rushes into his eyes. Voices speak, and men in armor strut about Adventurer’s Outpost.
It was all a dream...
Yankee Samarai08/19/2019 Guiscard awakes from his dream. "NICHOLE!" There is thunder, and he looks, his eyes aghast with shock. Through the cell’s single window he can see a massive weapon, hurling steel projectiles into the horizon sky. A few moments after, tremors in the earth, and the Sanctified knights rejoice the destruction of another impurity. Kashi is in a cell next to, but separate from his.
little song08/19/2019 Glances over at him. And quietly... “Guiscard?”
Yankee Samarai08/19/2019 Still with the image of her from his dream burned into his memory, he startles when he hears her voice. He is breathless for a moment... "Kashi..." he goes to be at her side, but he is tugged back by chain on his wrist. “No! No!” He cries, and gives up “Kashi why are you here?” “Where are we?”
little song08/19/2019 Shifts closer... “Is the blood on you your own?”
Yankee Samarai08/19/2019 He can only sit, the chain won’t let him stand to full height. He sees the blood, and suddenly a wave of pain hits him. In fast whispers, “Elyon give me strength, don't let me die yet, don't let me die yet!”
little song08/19/2019 “Here.” Shifts a bit closer. And takes off her decorative panels. Swings it towards the bars... “Bind it if you can please. I’m so sorry I can’t help you more right now.”
Yankee Samarai08/19/2019 Takes binds, then hesitates. “If they see me like this they will suspect you, I cannot take that risk.”
little song08/20/2019 “I can’t even get over there.” Holds up a chained arm. “Please. Just don’t die on me.” Almost tearing up.
Yankee Samarai08/20/2019 “Kashi please stop-” Bites lip, voice calms. “Kashi...Kashi listen to me.”
little song08/20/2019 Swallows watching him.
Yankee Samarai08/20/2019 Breathing heavy, gains control, eyes lock on. “I made a promise. And by Elyon's grace I swear that I shall keep it. Because Heaven knows I can't lose you too.”
little song08/20/2019 “It’s all my fault.” ... Hugging the fabric.. “I’m so sorry.”
Yankee Samarai08/20/2019 “Foolishness. Foolishness! Nothing is your fault. I said stop cryin-” bites lip again. “Just let come over.” Pulls hard on chain, trying to break it. “Let me out!” He shouts at it. Useless. “Kashi please be brave.” Gunfire, the moment Maki is killed.
little song08/20/2019 Shakes head. Too many thoughts. She didn’t want to deal with it anymore. It was my fault... what that person had said... Elyon chose to do this... but why? Guiscard was one of His most faithful....お願いします。神さま、わー. Huddles into herself at the sound.
Yankee Samarai08/20/2019 Guiscard hears the wails of the people. With his chains he cannot comfort her. He slouches. “Talk to me Kashi. It is all Elyon allows at this moment. Make the most of this mercy.”
little song08/20/2019 Nods.. “Um... I... That’s your brother?”
Yankee Samarai08/20/2019 “My brother? Who?”
little song08/20/2019 “He... he said he was. And he... same eyes. And jaw line. I’m sorry. I don’t know how to help right now.” Trying to stop her tears but unable.. “I should have forced their hand. I had a stone. I would have been fine. But I froze up again.”
“He said you would all die.” “He said...” “And Sato-sama? Sukoshi-kun?” “And Jade and Squire and Beakerson...” “Maki...”
Yankee Samarai08/20/2019 Trying to take it all in.
little song08/20/2019 “I ... I don’t know.” “Oh please don’t let them all die. It’s not their fault.”
Yankee Samarai08/20/2019 Remembers his dream. “My brother?” Head goes on the wall. “What is he doing?”
little song08/20/2019 “I’m not helping. I’m sorry gomai...” Sniffs and looks up.. “I...” “He... tied Donindor up.”
Yankee Samarai08/20/2019 Head perks back up.
little song08/20/2019 “And fired a weapon at” “... ankle...” “I don’t know where... I’m sorry I don’t know...” “They took me. Only me I think... that’s good... maybe.”
Yankee Samarai08/20/2019 Fists tighten.
little song08/20/2019 “But l...” “It’s my fault. I’m so sorry I’m not...” “I’m not committed enough.”
Yankee Samarai08/20/2019 Heavy breathing. Stares at her, expression intense.
little song08/20/2019 Face goes worried..
Yankee Samarai08/20/2019 “How could any of us seen this approach? I knew my brother was a stray. Just not a monster.” “You Kashi” Tears well up. “I must ask that you resist doubting yourself.” Gunshots.
little song08/20/2019 Weak smile.. Jumps at it..
Yankee Samarai08/20/2019 “Look at me.”
little song08/20/2019 “It’s almost worse not knowing who they’re hurting.” Turns back to him.
Yankee Samarai08/20/2019 “I know who they are killing. Non-believers. This evil might grow, but let it be heavy and shatter on the stones. You Kashi...only a lesser man would believe you a coward. Cause that is not what bandaged me.”
little song08/20/2019 “No... it’s... you remember that person that met us after we had found hime-ca... the princess?”
Yankee Samarai08/20/2019 Retorts quickly. “A doubter, he lied.”
little song08/20/2019 “Are you so sure...” “I’m the only one here that wasn’t committed because of Elyon.” “And everything went wrong because I got shot.” “It’s just what he said. I should have left.”
Yankee Samarai08/20/2019 “I chose to protect you, everyone did.”
little song08/20/2019 “It would have been better if I had taken your advice... my brother... I just thought that I would be better here.” “But I cursed us.”
Yankee Samarai08/20/2019 “If I was in your position, what you do? The same! How can you be a curse? We each would have looked after each other. That is the nature of family, Kashi.”
little song08/20/2019 Chuckles.. “Yeah...” “I’m sorry. I’m making this worse for you.”
Yankee Samarai08/20/2019 Smiles when she does.
little song08/20/2019 Looks down.. “Do you know what he wants from you?”
Yankee Samarai08/20/2019 Looks out the window, hearing more wailing. “Hatred breeds much self-justice. Truthfully I have not met him since he was banished from the Order. But from his actions, he may need me as leverage against Donindor.”
little song08/20/2019 “He’s leading this group. There’s so many of them too. How?”
Yankee Samarai08/20/2019 Swallows hard. “I know some of these men. Some of those I killed today I trained.”
little song08/20/2019 “... I’m so sorry... that would be... ummm... 痛い？”
Yankee Samarai08/20/2019 “There are enough of us to subdue a kingdom. And how many have joined outside my Order I cannot tell.”
little song08/20/2019 Nods.. “And now they own Middlemarch.”
Yankee Samarai08/20/2019 Regret comes into his eyes, “With all its secrets. I am sorry Kashi. I am sorry you are in such danger. But I promise I will get you out.”
little song08/20/2019 “I’m...” Sniffs wiping eyes again finally able to keep from crying. “It’s fine. Take care of yourself please. I don’t know why they took me but I think they would have already killed me if they meant to.”
Yankee Samarai08/20/2019 “That is a small comfort.” Reaches for panels. “Perhaps while we wait, you would like to hear an encounter I had?”
little song08/20/2019 “Alright.” Hands them over.
Yankee Samarai08/20/2019 Reaches, sad that he cannot reach closer to her. Takes them by the tip. “It's not a battle, just a dream...” Guiscard stares obliquely in Kashi's direction. At first it is a struggle to relate the details. He pauses suddenly whenever the cell guard passes by. "What are you two hogs whispering aye! That's enough of that!" he walks off, Guiscard finally finishes the last detail. "I've only ever had nightmares since childhood. But all of them together do not match this one."
little song08/21/2019 "Are... it sounds like a spirit dream. Or ... vision I guess is the common word." She looks down, processing, but no longer crying, though her face still testifies that she was. "And... Nichole said Jade is gone?"
Yankee Samarai08/21/2019 Nods. Looks at her. "I fear the meaning of that...Jade was only just beginning to learn."
little song08/21/2019 "You didn’t see me dead? You mentioned a lot of the others but not me?"
Yankee Samarai08/21/2019 "No...but you were in the field when something, I don't know what, caused the earth to erupt, and you disappeared in the ash."
little song08/21/2019 She stares ahead silent. Expressionless as the guard passes again.
Yankee Samarai08/21/2019 "But... "There was another part of it."
little song08/21/2019 Glances over.
Yankee Samarai08/21/2019 Holds eye contact. "I looked in the white fog again, harder, everyone was standing. But I saw you...you were lying down, the lumistone only half-way emerged." Guard passes. "Nichole passed me an instrument that I know, and as I played, your eyes opened, and you rose with the others. Then Nichole was beside the wise diseased youth, who said finding such a great source of light was easy for men whose world was ash."
little song08/21/2019 "So... I don’t understand..." Looks down. "Lumistone signifies people of your order yes?"
Yankee Samarai08/21/2019 We have adopted it because to the people of Vachelous it represents sacrifice, sanctity, and courage. To associate a lumistone with a person signifies their strong heart.
little song08/21/2019 "That sounds nice... and you say they become that when they die?"
Yankee Samarai08/21/2019 "By old custom we believe the souls of the Martyrs are inside the stones, so they can inspire us."
little song08/21/2019 "Just by custom. Or is that the case?"
Yankee Samarai08/21/2019 Thinks to himself, Good to keep her curious about something other than our current danger. "Well no one has ever actually seen it, many tales from our ancestors though. I believe they are."
little song08/21/2019 "So... has one ever gone out?"
Yankee Samarai08/21/2019 "The oldest ones are 800 years old, preceding the Pale War."
little song08/21/2019 "And they still glow?"
Yankee Samarai08/21/2019 "Oui!"
little song08/21/2019 Smiles.
Yankee Samarai08/21/2019 "I am afraid of what will come if I have to face my brothers. But they will not hurt you, Kashi. I will get us out of here." Begins tugging on chains.
little song08/21/2019 "You’re injured. Please rest."
Yankee Samarai08/21/2019 Small smile, his head sags to find peace. Doors screams open. Heavy footsteps and chainmail are heard approaching. Guiscard becomes alert.
little song08/21/2019 Looks over.
Yankee Samarai08/21/2019 Three men, escorting the Sheriff and the Blacksmith come into view. The prisoners are placed in a cell. The Guards turn to Guiscard and Kashi. Guard#1: Gestures to Kashi.
little song08/21/2019 Looks at the prisoners for wounds.
Yankee Samarai08/21/2019 Guiscard protests, and the second Guard clunks him with the blunt of his sword. Guard 2: "Well well." Eyeing the bandages Kashi passed. "A healer? Might make you worth that much more gold." Guards place an iron lock and chains on Kashi's neck, wrists, and ankles. "Off to see the Master now!"
little song08/21/2019 "May I be allowed to properly bandage him please?"
Yankee Samarai08/21/2019 Guiscard: drowsy. "Kashi don't-" Guard 1: "You'll be allowed to do as your told, now on your feet!"
little song08/21/2019 Stands. Seeming calm.
Yankee Samarai08/21/2019 Guard 2: "I can bandage him myself." Collects a dirty chain, and pulls it tightly around the wound. Guiscard: "RAAAGH!!!" The other guards push Kashi out of the cell.
little song08/21/2019 "You’re just being cruel now." Monotone voice. "I doubt you’re allowed to let him die." "I’m not resisting. Let’s go meet this master. And I’ll ensure your prisoner will survive upon my return."
Yankee Samarai08/21/2019 Guard shows disappointment, he can't make her whine. He cannot harm her though, so he angrily tells the men to take her off.
To be Continued...
Yankee Samarai08/19/2019 Guiscard awakes from his dream. "NICHOLE!" There is thunder, and he looks, his eyes aghast with shock.
