Hell's Pirates Dream

Feb 03, 2008 10:41

I had, sometime early this month, a really cool dream I want to put down before I forget about it entirely.

It was very brief, and very simple.

I was looking at a painting of a pirate ship in full sail, the sunset behind it, and the ocean waves reflecting the orange light. Except, as I looked more closely, the image began to move, and I saw that the ship was sailing upon a sea of fire and molten rock. The "sunset" was an onrushing holocaust of flame.

What makes this interesting, aside from the fact that it is just a really cool image, is that in my private mythology, the study fireplace in Morningstar Hall features a sailing ship worked into the fireback. When the hearth is lit, the ship appears to be sailing on an ocean of flame. This is clearly a reference to the earliest documented Morningstar, a pirate captain who is surely burning in Hell.

Evidently, Morningstar Hall boasts an enchanted real-time painting of his ship, as well as his portrait. I hadn't known that. That's cool.

What is even cooler is that they actually do make iron firebacks with ships on them. Which just makes me want a house with a fireplace that much more.

Coming up: oral sex at a renfaire, starring Tom Jane. You know you want it.
