A Dream Back In Time

Where am I?

On a bright yet foggy morning, you are walking to school, anxious to get to Ms. B’s English class, when the ground suddenly gives way beneath you.  You plummet  into what seems to be an endless void in the earth until you finally hit rock bottom. A blow to your head knocks you unconscious.  When you awake, you are outside what appears to be an ancient city, being poked in the side by two painted warriors. You stand up  immediately looking all around. You stop dead when you see two painted warriors with their spars pointed right at you in a defensive motion. You hold your hands up then you say “ Whoa I come in peace”. The two  painted warriors say “ Here come you”.  You say back “ What?”. They say back to you “ Here come with you”. Then they just grab your hand and pull you along. After being dragged a few miles you come to a stop and see a huge door made of Jade with Sapphire stones all around it that opens up to the city. When the door opens you see a woman walking with two huge guards coming towards you. The woman is wearing a crown with four stones on it and clothes in gold and purple made of silk. When she finally makes it to you with open arms she says “To our city you welcome. Name you have?” You say back “ My name? Ok my name is Cheyenne.” She looks back at you funny and says “Funny you speak” She continues to speak and says “Kashyyyk my name is, the Empress of Dasani I is, the law may word is.” You then realize that this woman that stands before you is the ruler of this ancient land and will kill with a iron fist if you break her laws.You bow and say “ It’s nice to meet you Empress Kashyyyk. I would like to learn more about your city” She asks me “Tour you want then?” You nod eagerly! The Empress sees my nod as a sign of excitement and motions you to follow her. As you join her you both start walking to a path that will take you further into the city. As you walk through the city you notice the shops and ask the Empress to explain the jobs the people do in them. You learned from the Empress that the Blacksmith does the weapons, armor and tools. The Candlemaker makes candles. The Breeder breeds all the animals in the city. The Benders bend the elements such as fire, water and earth. As we continue through the city a man approaches the Empress with a bow. The Empress greets him as “ One of the Holy”. One of the Holy says “Empress, new crown, I make you like?” Empress says “Like new crown I do!” You bump into the conversation and asked “Who the One of Holy is?” The One of Holy turn to you and says “ Priest High I am, crown I make” Then you ask “ What do the stones on the crown mean?” The One of Holy says next “story I tell” When the story was told in their  language this is what you understood. Once their was two gods that were all made out of Jade (life) and Black Diamond (death). When they touch the surface one gave life and other one breath chaos to the world. At the beginning of the world one side was life and flourishing and the side was dark and death. One day Jade (life) sees the animals traveling  to the middle line looks down to see deers pushing the elder deers over the line. While this is happen Black Diamond (death) looks over to see Jade looking down at the middle line. Black Diamond (death) also looks down to see the younger deer pushing over the elder deer to his side. Then he also see some animal that are slightly live on his side. Black Diamond (death) see the potential in them to live on so he helps them by pushing them over to life’s side. They  look at each other and nod knowing they need to come together. They float to each other to the middle line then reach out to each other to put their hands together. When they do this a big flash of light happens when it’s gone the world is anew.As years go by they realize they can't do this by themselves anymore. So life created sapphire (water) to help life flow through the land. Then death created garnet (fire) to take life on a greater scale when needed. So with the four gemstones they created the world. So this is what you get from the story the One of the Holy told you.

    You feel enlighten as the story was told to you. All of a sudden you see a bright light coming at you. You see the light come closer, closer, brighter and brighter. Then BAM you wake up in class. Then you realize you’ve had the best dream ever because you fell asleep in class. How ironic that the teacher was teaching us about ancient civilization.
