* A Forgotten Dream *
Editor: Noseless Wonder
Authors notes: This story is about the poem I wrote. I hope you like it.
In a dream,
You see a world of fantasy.
But what if your world was a dream
and reality didn't exist?
I close my eyes,
and see a world.
Of peace and love.
How can this be real, or is it?
In the darkness, through the light,
I see a vision of the morning skies.
But in the darkness, I lose my way.
And all I see is a world that couldn't be.
What do you do, when you can't tell what's a dream and what's reality?
You see life as it is,
But I see life of what it could be.
A forgotten dream.
I do not dream, I do not live.
I am the shadow of all that could have been.
I am just one of so many that rule this world.
We are known as the ones of the forgotten dream...
By: Mysterious
In my light of my darkness, I live a life that cannot be. There is no pain, no tears to be shed, and yet my heart aches. I am a Queen who rules the world of fantasy.
I have no name, nor do I know where I came from. I am alone, and yet filled with those around me.
They do not care of your world, it is just a suffering and demanding place to exist in. I do not know what made me change, or why I wish to be like you. I watch over all who live, and never once hunger as I do now.
I close my eyes a thousand times, and all I could see is what I see when they are opened. I wish to learn of this world, to feel what they feel. Their pain, and their happiness, it is a challenge I wish to learn.
But where I come from it cannot be, for the greatest punishment of such thoughts is banishment. Even though I hunger to know what it is like to live as a mortal, I do not wish to suffer as they do.
This world is filled with so much grief and suffering, that not even the greatest of my people can withstand. I have heard of a King who fell in love with a human from his world of wishes. She wished for his life to be shared with hers. Now no one protects ones' wish. People no longer wish of love and peace, but of money and their greed.
He wished to come back after seeing what that world was really like, but the damage was all ready done. I watched his dreams, and they were filled with regret. He loves the women he fell in love with, but when she died, there was no reason to live that life.
I do so much want to see, but not to feel. I am afraid of what could happen if I do tried to become human. We have great power, and the chose to do as we please, but as humans we have none. When we chose to become like them, we are no longer a part of are realm and with that, our power no longer exists.
I sit alone on my drown and see a child who has come to my world of dreams. He is strange to me. In a different place or time, I would have sworn I knew him. He is but a child, and yet his dreams are those of an ageless soul.
I continue to watch this boy. Every night he dreams of the same things... A forgotten dream. He tries hard to see a figure of a lost love one, but his mind would not allow it. There are times when our past of another life is intertwined with that of our new lives. Is this what his dream seeks? The life before this one? Why Would someone so young want to know of a life so long ago?
I find myself drawn to him in away I can't understand. What is this feeling in my chest? I should not be feeling such things. I am not human, nor am I a living being. So why is my chest burning with such pain? Is it pain that I feel at all? I am so confused.
I dare not speak of this to those around me. What would they think? I am alone as always, to wonder of these things.
"My queen. Are you not happy?" asked one of her followers.
"I am always happy."
"But you seem saddened of this young one you keep seeing."
"No. Leave me be. I no longer wish to be disturbed. Leave me, all of you."
"Yes, my queen. We will leave. If you call on us..."
"I will have no need for any of you, just go."
"Yes."
"Do they think I need them constantly around me? I have had enough of this." she said as she got up. She started walking to the far corner of the dream world and laid in the darkness and wept.
In the darkness, I lay alone. Confused of this, I feel I have no one to seek for help. This child has put so much on me. But it is hard to stay away from him. I am alone as he is.
"You seek a life? A human life. If I could grant such a wish, would it please your needs?" asked an unknown voice from the darkness.
"What?"
"You seek a life? A human life? If I could grant such a wish, would it please your needs?"
"Who are you? And who dares say such things to me?"
"I am not your servant, nor do I dare anything. All I ask, is the truth. Is that what you not seek?"
"Leave me, I do not wish to play these games."
"I do not play games, nor will I leave thee. Queen of the dreams, your sadness was heard. Is this wish you seek not what you want?"
"I do not know of what wish that you speak of... and I am not saddened."
"You say this, but your tears say something else." she didn't know she was crying, it shocked her that the voice could see that in such darkness.
"I can see all and hear all. For nothing can escape me young one."
"How?"
"Foolish child."
"I am not a child!"
"A child, you are. Can you not see your own reflection?"
"And where will I see my reflection?"
"In the deepest of the night, where the moon shines, and the keeper waits."
"I don't understand your words."
"But listen and you will know. For the wish you seek can be."
"Why do you speak to me?"
"Your pain is my sorrow. Your tears are daggers in my heart. Is it not clear who I am?"
"It can not be, you are not real."
"But I am, and yes it is me." he said as he appeared in front of the Queen.
"Child of our forgotten people, you are not like the others. You carry something they can never hold." he said as he wiped her tears away.
"But why is the King of Death visiting me?"
"His pain is more than I could bare."
"Who is this 'he' you speak of?"
"Hehe, Is it not the one you seek that feelings you hide. Child, you are not like the others."
"Stop it!" she said as she pushed away from the man, and stood up. "I am no longer going to listen to such... such..."
"Hope, challenge, and wonder of what could it be?" he said as he watched the Queen.
"You know nothing of my desires or my wishes."
"But I do."
"No, you don't."
"You wish to know of who and where you came from, yes?"
"But... how?"
"Yes?"
"Yes."
"You are a child of the dream world, a young queen, but before you were either of these, you were a fallen soul."
"What do you mean?"
"Do not interrupted me, if you wish to know."
"Speak."
"Long ago, you were what you wished to be. A soul taken before its time, you were given the greatest honor to become what you are now. You don't remember of any that I speak because you wished this. In this time, you were taken away, another could not live. His sadness of your loss was more than he could bare. Love is a mystery to me, but to you, it is an ever lasting thing. The day has come for you to know of what you really are. I will tell you your story of your life and your secrets. Is this what you seek?"
"Yes, it has always been a mystery to me. Of who I am, and where I came from. Do you really know about me?"
"I know all, for I am Death. I once came for you, and I am what will bring you back. You are special, as well as he is. Your souls are neither human nor of our world. I don't understand all, but I do know much. Before I can tell you of your past, you must answer one question that will play a future role."
"And what is this I will be asked?"
"When the time of return, and the sun no longer shines, is what you see what you seek?"
"How can I answer that if I've never seen it?"
"Answer, or I will leave."
"I..."
"Yes or no?"
"I am confused, but I have no choice but to say no."
"Then let it be, this is what you seek."
Well, what do you think so far? Please review! Next part out soon. I hope...
