Last night I had very anachronistic dreams. It start, someone was escorting this girl to the place where her magic powers would be awakened. But the woman who was escorting her was so concerned with protecting her body (they were going through this wasteland with huge crevices, like grand canyon huge) that the girl was taken over by another Sorcerer.
The way magic worked in this world, it was inborn, however it was set up in different Houses. And what House you were in determined the type of magic you used. This girl's magic was of the House of Mind, which is why I was concerned, cause I was the only existing Sorcerer of Mind in this world (did I mention magic was a bit rare here). Although the magic was inborn, anyone with the magic had to go to this one particular place to have the magic awakened.
The weird thing about this wasteland, is that it was downstairs. I mean, I was in my bed (my actual bed here), and if I walked down the stairs, there was just this wasteland, and a huge fucking canyon, and I had to go there to rescue this girl from the clutches of the Sorcerer whose house just happened to be Evil (go fig). Then, I had to sleep with this girl in my arms all night to keep him out (she was going to be my apprentice, and as a Sorcerer of Mind I was the only one in the area who could really protect her). But we didn't sleep in my bed, we slept on this couch that was actually sitting right at the edge of a cliff over this canyon.
Yeah, like I said, lots of sense this dream made. Did I mention it went on from about 4 am to 1 pm.
It gets worse, we finally get her to the site, and there are other Sorcerors there. We awaken her power, then go back to my place (the downstairs is mysteriously no longer a wasteland).
Then after a bit of training, it's Winter Solstice time, so I accompany her to her home. Because she's my apprentice and I don't want her travelling along. Plus I need to explain to her parents that she's apprenticed to me, except we're gonna lie and say she's apprenticed as a painter, cause we don't exactly let everyone know who us Sorcerers are. So we get into this car that's all wireframe, and drive into town on the railroad tracks (yeah, I know, don't ask).
This is where the dream segues to the expoits of the Sorecerer of Water and his apprentice, who are in space with an alien race. But this alien race is trying to double cross them. There's a bunch of stuff going on, but the aliens can't do anything agains the Sorcerer of Water directly (there aren't enough of them there), so the other humans all gather around him in the cargo bay or wherever, where there's room enough for all of them.
However, the aliens have a larger ship coming with more aliens on it. Knowing this, the Sorceror of Water and his apprentice (guess what, I'm playing the Sorceror of Water for this one) get drunk by one of the humans who's a thief, and taken to the engines. Where they use their water magic to boost the engines, so they end up back on our world before the other ship can catch up. Plus it burns the engines out, so they're stuck out there, where the other Sorcerers can help take on the aliens (yay us).
Anyway, back to us (me and my apprentice), we're at her house (riding horses now, I bought her one) and she's with her family. I intimidate them some so they won't do anything nasty to her (they're poor and it turns out, her parents had arranged for her to get kidnapped on her way to school [in this world you were trained at home first, and if they had the money, they went away to school to actually learn stuff] and she would have been sold into slavery had we not noticed she had magic powers and apprenticed her to me) then head out (taking the horse with me so they won't sell it). The dream ends there cause my subconscious kept kicking my conscious mind out.
I hope I have more interesting dreams tonight.
