Dreamer Born
The History of Dreamer Saga
Prologue:
Long thousands of years before the events of Dreamer, before the book of history was even written, there lived a mighty human civilization far advanced in technology than present day. The humans were enlightened blessing themselves with special gifts of earth, life, and nature. High up in the sky there floated an island and upon it the capital city of all the Earth, Utopia. In this time of great prosperity, no one ever thought that life could change. So they thought and ignorance one day lead to their downfall.
Chapter 1: J
One of the two princesses of the King of Utopia named K went out for a ride on her winged horse. K, the more adventurous than her other sister, constantly went out to explore the land whenever she could. Her appearance weren't always so royal but she always kept her crown on to show that she was part of the royal family. Many viewed K to be one of natural beauty without need of special make up. At times she would return home with dirt all over her face yet still look beautiful enough to attract the young nobles of Utopia. Her winged horse, Sky, is a pure white breed dressed in a golden saddle and décor. K thought such dress was unnecessary since it would only get dirty but her father had to have his way to make sure his daughters had the best.
It was a bright morning day and the wind blew lightly across the fields. The harvest time looked grand as always as the agricultural workers used their skills of earth and grass to make the land fertile. Feeling adventurous K traveled further than her normal route all the way towards the deep black forest. She had studied that in the black forest grew a special fruit, purple cherries, which could cure most sickness and muscle aches. Thinking of her father always complaining about a back and neck ache she wanted to get some to make into a potion for him. Flying low through the forest she searched for the purple cherries but having no luck she dismounted her flying horse to look on foot.
K: Stay right here Sky, I'll be right back.
K searched around a small area, trying to find the purple cherries but with no luck. After about an hour K started to doubt her memory about reading purple cherries being in the dark forest. Ready to head back to recheck the books she heard a sound not far from her. Turning towards that direction she became defensive wondering who was there.
K: Hello? Is someone there?
She walked forward towards the noise hoping that it was just an animal. As she got closer she saw a reflective glass on the ground. Examining it closer she lightly touched it. It was metal. This isn't a piece of glass but what would be as clear as glass but feel cold like metal. Rubbing her fingers across it she cut herself from its sharpness. It was a knife, no not a knife, a dagger.
K: A dagger? I haven't seen something like this in real life, only in textbooks.
It was a real dagger, made for combat. She recognized the shape of it; it was far different from all the other knives used in the kitchen and carving art.
Taking a closer look she noticed that it was attached to something. The black forest was too dark with only bits of sunrays pouring in. Looking really carefully she noticed that the dagger wasn't attached to something, someone was holding it. Tracing the hand she saw the face of a man, slumped on a tree. He had rough black hair with minor scars on his face. She would have noticed him earlier but his clothes were all dark black. The person didn't seem like he was alive, he didn't move, not even by touch. Yet the strangest thing was he had a grip on the dagger. K needed to see better, she looked up to the sky and used her skill to move branches. The light shinned on the person with the dagger. He indeed wore all black along with some light armor. K had never seen such attire in real life, only in textbooks. Was he here from long ago?
K: Hello? Are you alive?
There was no response. The man just lay there. K felt worried so she concentrated and levitated him towards her flying horse. Maybe he'll wake up after the doctor has seen him.
K: Sky, I want you to take us home carefully.
The winged horse took to the sky heading back towards Utopia.
*****
Inside the small hospital of Utopia, K had a doctor of look at the man in black. It was the doctor's first time seeing someone in this condition and didn't have the experience to deal know what to do next.
Doctor: I'm sorry K, to tell you the truth, most people today are very healthy and doctors around the world are less needed. I'm not qualified to help him. His body is unharmed and that is all I know.
K: Its okay, atleast we know its not a physical condition.
The doctor left. K placed another damp cloth on the man's forehead. She glanced at his hand, still holding onto the dagger. He had to be alive otherwise he wouldn't hold on so tight. K then recalled a skill she was taught but had never used. She could dive into someone's mind when they were asleep. It wasn't something she truly knew how to do but she had to try. Holding onto the man's free hand she closed her eyes and focused.
Images started to appear, she saw another kingdom, much like the one on earth but filled with different people. The people were much shorter and had blue skin. It was very prosperous kingdom much like the Earth is but then suddenly there was an explosion. Shadow like creatures invaded the prosperous land destroying everything. The people around fell to a dark shadow creature. As the kingdom fell into ruin, the man in the black cloak appeared. He held a sword rather than a dagger and started to slay all the shadows around. Just as he had fought them off he looked towards the sky and saw the greater shadow approaching. Looking all around him he then looked very frustrated. Raising his sword up into the air he let out a huge amount of energy. The sword started to float not far from his hands and two colored circled flew out of the sword, one blue the other red. Energy started to fill up to the point where it was hard to see then . . .
K jerked back and let go off the man's hand. The images she saw, it was stunning. She didn't know what to make of it. Suddenly the man stood up. He looked around and right at K.
K: You're . . . awake.
The man just stood there looking at her.
K: You're not from around here are you? Who are you?
J: My name is J.
K: J? That's a name from the royal lineage of Prodigies, so you are from here.
J: No, I'm not. Where am I? Am I on the Earth?
K: Yes you are.
J: How long have I been out?
K: I don't know, I found you in the black forest.
J: Oh.
The man known as J sat there emotionless. K felt disturbed by the strange images she saw within J's mind and fell compelled to ask a few questions.
K: Um . . . I don't know how to say this but, I used my powers to read your mind and I saw some things that I have never seen before. You were in combat in this vision. Are you some type of warrior?
J emotionlessly looked at K. Rubbing his head a few times he let out a sigh.
J: I'm from the Moon Kingdom of the Earth.
K: Moon Kingdom? But that is just a fairy tale. There's no kingdom on the moon . . . is there?
J fell silent. He laid back down and turned away from K.
K: Hey what's wrong?
J didn't answer. K laid her hand on J's shoulder.
J: Leave me alone. I must think.
K: But you're hurt and what if you need some help?
J: I'm not hurt and if I were I would have died long time ago rather than hibernate for hundreds of years. Now leave me.
K was reluctant to leave J's side but she obeyed his wishes and left the room. Finally alone, J closed his eyes and tried to recall the last of his memories.
To be continued . . .
Author's Note: Some asked me of the origin of the events of dreamer. Recently I got into all this RPG games so I decided, hey, lets give everyone who loves Dreamer a treat and write a fic about the history using the influence of the RPG games I've been playing. So for your amusement, the saga of Dreamer History.
