Had an ugly dream. Had an ugly night.
The dream:I was young. Kept apart from other children. My parents were some form of royalty. There came a time though, when I met others, other children. There was one, a frail girl of a different race, that I knew...she was the other half of my soul. I knew this. her father put a spell on us both however, not realizing this, not knowing that I would have chosen her as mine no matter what. we were so young. We married, a silver band at her wrist, a silver band at mine. Then the spell lifted. And I realized what had happened. I loved her... My father and her father....went insane. It was only me and my parents left of our race, but their race was large. And my father started hunting them down, this other race. Her father hunted me. I alluded him for a very long time....until he caught us near a great tree. He had a curved knife of some sort, and he hacked at us....but he missed me. His daughter threw herself in front of me, and took a blow to her side/upper thigh that should have killed her. Her father, terrified at what he had done, droppped the knife and ran. My lady was bleeding a great deal...and I helped her into the tree, because I knew that it would keep her alive for some time more. I don't know what happened to my parents. But I met her mother....gravely wounded and very pale. I knew my parents had done this to her. She had never been a bad person. NOne of them had, not really. But she spoke to me, telling me how happy she was that her daughter and I were meant to be like that...how happy it made her that we were bound together now, forever. She was very pale, her lips pressed together in pain. She beckoned me to push her in her chair (she was in some sort of wheeled chair) toward a grove of trees. I did...and she told me to leave her. Which I did. She said she would die soon...so I had to to, return to her daughter, back to my love. I did...to find my love weak, our lifeforces were bound together by those silver bracelets...so I was what was keeping her alive. I woke up. And I was male in that dream.
