Alrighty, remember I told you all about story dreams a couple posts back? Well, here's the earliest one I can remember having. I was probably in jr. high at the time.
I dreamed that I and a young boy around my age were wandering down a forest path and came upon a stretch of tall crumbling rock wall. Curious, we followed it until we found an ivy covered iron-gate. Somehow we were able to force the ancient gate open and entered a courtyard. Fallen columns and dried-up fountains were scattered about, and nature had long ago began to take back the area, but the boy and I passed all of these and headed for the old stone building at one end of the courtyard.
We explored the structure, examining the different rooms until we made our way up to the top floor, where we found several items scattered around the space. The two of us were drawn to two small statues, one of a man, the other a woman. We touched the statues, and suddenly blinding light burst forth from them! When we could see again, two small figures stood in front of us, the same as the two statues that were there just a moment ago. They introduced themselves and thanked us for releasing them from the spell that trapped them in statue form.
These two figures were spirits that served the people who used to live in the building, but apparently something terrible happened in the past. Everyone who used to live there was dead or gone, and the two spirits were imprisoned, doomed to wait until their masters could return and free them. They had waited many, many years...
Come to find out, my companion and I must've been decended from these poor spirits' masters, because the only way they could have been freed was by one of power. So they took it upon themselves to train us in the use of our powers.
The last thing I remember is the boy and I in the courtyard. White feathery wings sprouted from both of our backs, and we were working on controlling fire and water, conjuring them from thin air, so to speak.
I know, not that exciting, but since this was my first story-dream, I thought it deserved a place here.
