Another Night, Another Dream (Patreon)

In the darkness of night, under the veil of dreams... the young sorceress explores the dreamscape. On the edge of herself and the endless compendium which is the source, the mage finds herself enthralled in her lucid dream. Should she step over the line and embrace the collection of memories and ideas that make up the source, she would be overwhelmed, lost within a melting dream until she awakes. Harder to retain anything in her subconscious that way. Instead, she sits on the edge of the chasm, in the gap between herself and everything else; fishing for specific notions and ideas. Adepts such as her are aware of the ethereal elements of the universe. Mana, the lifeblood of the planet, quintessence; the life energy of a person and of course the source; which connects the minds and thoughts of all who ever was, is and will be. It is here at the edge of this unfathomable void where learned mages try to grasp the secrets of the source.

But this edge is also a crossroads. The pull of personal ideas; fears, hopes, desires and other inclinations are strong here as well. The mind and imagination will always have it's due and in the veil of dreams these unspoken aspirations grow strong. Like a small tug in the back of the mind that becomes a forceful pull, a sleeper's dreams will always try to steal focus. A mage must walk the razor's edge between focus and fluidity. Too much focus and the adept will lose themselves in the source, unable to comprehend the endless amount of consciousness it is comprised of. If she focuses too little, however, she will fall into normal sleep and the subconscious will glean only what it will. A prospect the mage refused to have happen a third night in a row.

She had meditated on it. Drank some essence of nightshade and calmed her mind with the rhythmic sounds of the whirling chimes. She did everything she could to prepare for this nights dreaming, determined to overcome the meddlesome fantasies that had overtaken her before. But hers were strong fantasies born of powerful desires. Those ideas that the conscious mind tries hard to bury in the waking hours grow exponentially more powerful in the subconcious mind. So strong was her need to hide this desire during the day, that here in the dream it's power was almost incomprehensible.

She'd hope to glean all she could from the source before her mind betrayed her. She had been so careful and tried so hard. But this time as it had before, her mind began to cloud with thoughts of a crimson haired knight, with beautiful blue eyes and a roguish grin. Her treacherous mind gave the man flesh and form. Drawing him out of the haunting mists to be real and whole behind her. She could almost believe she was awake as he wrapped his arms around her. Tonight he would again do as he had the previous nights; take her in his arms, kiss her tenderly and then take her on her own desk.

It was the same dream, the same desire. She'd tried to resist it before but failed miserably. This time she tried her best to focus on the source and maybe even the whirling chimes. If she awoke now she could save the night and try again after reclaiming her slumber. But the pull of her desire was far too strong. Trapped under the entrancing gaze of his feverish eyes, she leaned back and felt the form of her desk. Breathing heavily, she sat up and let him press against her. As he moved forward, now fully formed in front of her; she bit her lip. One last desperate ploy to escape her own dream. Instead, she only manages to let out a cute little yelp and entice the dream further. As it closed its mouth around her neck and began to move its hands down toward her belt, she knew that she had lost again. 'Oh well,' she thought, smiling as he removed her bottom and prepared to enter her. 'There's alway tomorrow night...' she whispered passionately. With a cry of pleasure, the dream took over and the night was lost. She'd have to clean her sheets when she awoke in the morning.
