Writing - A Dream of Glass and Fiendlight

 Writing - A Dream of Glass and Fiendlight

I had a strange dream.

I was an alchemist in a strange place, treating sore wounds and sickness in many.

Salid taught me the language of the clay peoples, and I spoke with people from every walk in every colour and of all needs.

Even a bandit who wanted treatment. I told him I'd not treat a person of violence. 

But he called me a person of violence. 

Said I came from a land of burning winds. I told him that was true, but I had left that life behind to come here and to die.

He challenged me to a duel. 

And we fought in the market sands, as the sun fell before the three-moon night.

I slit his throat with a lapnar knife.

Thousands saw, so they dragged me to the dowager empress of glass for punishment. But she showed kindness.

She asked me to make a tincture to stop her blood quickening. And she asked so kindly. 

So I did.

I should not have. For while it was what she wanted, it caused her heart great anguish.

I watched her crying, torn between duty and love, surrounded by the public.

I woke, and said aloud, "Never shall I craft the fiendlight again". 

And that was my dream.

We took a group of friends to see History of Western Korean Theatre on opening night last night. My old roommate and I have performing arts degrees, one friend works in a completely unrelated entertainment industry, and another friend had no idea what he was getting into and brought bags of snacks like it was a night at the movies.
