I had the most kick ass dream last night. It was almost like a movie and it had two endings.
Set during medieval times, (Think Kingdom of Heaven meets Braveheart), a kingdom in France is ruled by a strong King. His Queen has died, leaving him with two children; a son, named Charles Sartre and a daughter named Sophie Sartre. The King never remarried. He raised his son to be his Heir to the Throne. The Kingdom thrived in peace. Religious freedom was not forbidden and people of all religious factions lived without conflict. Of course, there is always one asshole who doesn't like it and of course he is on the King's council. Slowly but surely, he poisons the people's minds and his power grows.
Years pass and things have changed. The kingdom in now on edge. People are fighting each other. The King has disappeared. Charles, now a grown man, takes the throne. Sophie rules as his side as Queen. Charles tries to marry her off but she will accept no proposal. The original council has broken away and started a new faction that intends to destroy the royal family. One day, they storm the castle. They slaughter Sophie and find Charles. They force him to lead them through the Palace to find some kind of mystical sword hidden away by his Father. Charles is unaware that that such a sword exists. He tells them so and they kill him as well.
So ends the story.
Then, I woke up briefly and fell back asleep. I began to dream the same dream over only this time with an alternate ending.
The evil faction storms the palace. They kill Charles immediately and set after Sophie. She escapes with her guards through a set of secret passageways in her room that span the entire city. At each junction, she meets faction members that managed to infiltrate the passageways at random entrances. She and her guards fight their way through and continue to their destination, which is, the church where the mystical sword is kept in secrecy. The mythology of the sword states that whomever wields it will have the power to lead the people and receive awesome magical power.
Sophie and her court finally manage to make it to the church only to find that the sword is gone. They enter the Church Sanctuary to find that everyone inside had been slaughtered. Sophie is urged to escape but she refuses. She knows who took the sword. She looks up towards the balcony of the church and sees the missing King covered in blood and holding the mystical sword. Dark Energy is swirling all around him.
I'm going to turn this into a kick ass fanfiction! I just hope I remember all the details from my dream.
