Of Dreams and Visions

-----------------------------------(
It was so dark. If it had not been for Gandalf's light, most of the fellowship would have lost their faith. After a while Gandalf looked around himself and announced a rest. He did not remember this passage. Dawn lay down on a rock slab and made herself comfortable. A while later, Buffy joined her on the slab, slowly wrapping her arms around her. Dawn went to sleep feeling safe, and Buffy followed soon after.

---------Dawn's Dream-----------

There was a flash of light, and then there I was.

Monks were kneeling around a candle, chanting. In the center of the circle, there was a brilliant green ball of light. It was the most beautiful thing ever. The monks kept chanting as the ball expanded larger and larger until it came to the size of a fourteen-year-old girl. The light then solidified itself. There, standing alone and naked, was an innocent young girl. The monks started chanting again, and a ball of blue energy appeared and grew, and grew, and grew. Once it was the size of a head, the blue energy moved towards the girl's head. It disappeared upon collision. The monks chanted once more. The chanting became louder and louder. The door to the room burst open and a goddess walked in. The monks looked to the center of the circle. The girl was gone.

Another flash of light.

There, standing, was the same girl as before. This one was fully clothed in the oddest of clothes. She spoke in a deep, rich voice. "That was how it began. How it will end. you will decide."

Another flash of light.

Buffy was fighting orcs. They were surrounding everyone. The voice spoke again. "She will not always be there. How it will end. you will decide."

Another flash of light.

Willow and Xander were sitting alone in Willow's apartment. They were discussing something, but you couldn't hear what was being said. Willow's face turned into a resolve mode. "What will you do when she is gone? Will you choose soon enough? Or will you be too late?"

Another flash of light.

Dawn was walking over a hill with the Fellowship. Birds came and left. She spoke as Buffy picked her up. "I'm not here go away."

Another flash of light.

Buffy was lightly knocking Dawn on the head. "Hello? You in there?" She asked. Dawn replied slowly.

"Nope. Never was. I'm not here."

Dawn's eyes were the main focus of the dream now. They turned silvery blue and back to blue.

Another flash of light.

Someone's stomach and back were being slit with a beautifully engraved knife.

"It used to be the blood. Not anymore. It's all different. I've figured it out."

The wounds inflicted by the knife healed seconds after they appeared.

"It's all in the blood.. Except what HE wants."

Another flash of light.

Now there were many flashes. Flashes of the past, present, and some not understood since they have yet to happen. All the flashes went by at once. And then the eyes..

-----------------------End of Dawn's Dream----------------------

Dawn awoke, with silver eyes and a silvery glow about her.

---------------------Buffy's Dream----------------------

They are coming. Drums in the deep.

Drums could be heard in the distance. Shouts of war echoed of the walls. Someone was chanting. Looking down you could see fire falling.

I touch the fire and it freezes me. I look into it and it's black.

The fire was falling lower and lower until you could see it no more. The Fellowship was running now, out of the cave. Where was Gandalf?

You will not be here much longer.

They were running in a forest now. Orcs were everywhere around them. Boromir was being placed into a boat.. Dead. Then Dawn glowed and the light flowed off of her and became a portal. Someone began coming through. And then the eyes..

-------------------End of Buffy's Dream-------------------------

Buffy awoke and looked beside her, only to see Dawn glowing.

"Buffy," she started calmly. "What do I do when you're gone?"

Buffy was startled. She was going to leave? "I will never leave here without you Dawnie. You hear that? Never."

"Buffy, Buffy, Buffy. There are some things none of us can stop." Dawn's silver eyes then rolled back into her head and she fell back upon the rock.
