Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

it started out I was living in a hotel with my husband, and I woke up, startled, to him coming out of the shower. I swore for a second that I saw a demon behind him, a man with gray, leathery skin, with sharp teeth out of a dropped, angled mouth, with his eyes bound with black leather, with more strips up and down his arms and legs. He walked on all fours, with his legs backwards like he was an insect. He was able to launch at my husband when I screamed, and he disappeared. My husband ran to me, worried, and then I heard a raven caw outside the window. Everything in the 'dream' I was having before came back, and he sat down to hold me and listen.

--------------
We were the people of the valley, and I was one of the deacons in this 'cult' that the town participated in (but only the town knew about). There was a ridge that no one could cross, literally, up a long grassy hill, and then a 20ft scale brown rock formation. No one could leave; but no one ever entered.

Until there was a newcomer, and we were all suspicious of them. She was a traveler, and we didn't like that she was here. The dream would switch between me as the deacon, and me as the traveler.

The deacon had visions, which is why she was chosen as part of the cult. She could see the future, and now that this traveler was here, they were happening more and more. She would have the same one as the traveler, and my consciousness would switch after I was shown something.

There were several instances. One involved what was in the boxes of the warehouse, where we kept our supplies; we saw explosives, and biochemical weapons, and the damage that would happen if they were to go off. The deacon ushered her people out and to the church, while the traveler went to disarm the bombs.

There were a couple more premonitions that I forget, but the whole town was set up.

I was the traveler on my way to the church, which was rigged, when I had a quick vision of the statue near me exploding. I started to run, when I noticed a child, barely into pre-teens, within range. I started to run towards him, going sideways, when it exploded. I suddenly had the ability to shield, and threw a green energy shield over him. It was a sustained blast, so I had to keep the shield going, but I only had so much energy. I coudln't have a full shield on both of us, but the blast was painful. I started to crawl towards the kid, as my skin was burning away, then curled around him and kept the shield up to protect both of us. He screamed and ran from me, and I collapsed, not knowing how I looked. I closed my eyes, then woke up as the Deacon, running out to check on her flock. She found the traveler's body, but she was alive, and healing. These things were only possible for a priest of the cult god, who hadn't existed in over a decade.

There was some scene where the deacon had her staff, and then the staff of the Minister, who was the traitor and had set up the whole issue.

Also of note, whenever there was a premonition, the traveler would see a raven lead her to her target, and the deacon would see a robin.

Eventually it came down that the people needed to leave the valley, it wasn't safe, but they were chased to the ridge, and couldn't get over it, until a rainbow appeared in the sky, and they were able to walk on it across.

The dream went back to me telling my husband at the foot of the bed, when I felt something behind me, and looked over my right shoulder. There was the demon again, launching towards me. I screamed and shot up in bed, to my alarm going off.
