[QUOTE="ajanders, post: 2725389, member: 3271"] [b]Michael's Dream[/b] "I dreamt I stood on a high mountain, looking down on a fair city open to all, reaching out to embrace the world, free of fear. And to it came the people of the world, bringing gifts, and from it came the people of the world, bearing gifts, so that all the world was fair to look upon and prospered. And it was good. And about the fair city came a dark tide of blood and evil. The people of the fair city gathered their tools and piled a great mound of earth about their fair city. Thus they hoped to hold back the tide. But the tide rose up and overflowed the mound, destroying a part of the fair city. And the mountain spoke in a woman's voice, whispering [SIZE=1]"Earth will not hold."[/SIZE] But the people of the fair city were not defeated, and taking up their tools, they built a high wall of timbers about their fair city. Thus they hoped to hold back the tide. But the tide rose up and overflowed the wall, destroying another part of the fair city. And the mountain called in a queen's voice, saying [SIZE=3]"Wood will not hold."[/SIZE] But the people of the fair city were not yet defeated, and taking up their tools, they built a great rampart of stone about their fair city. Thus they hoped to hold back the tide. But the tide rose up and overflowed the rampart, destroying all but a single silver tower of the fair city. And the mountain shouted in a giantess' voice, saying [SIZE=5]"Stone will not hold."[/SIZE] And the tide rose up again, dark and bloody, to cast down the last silver tower of the fair city, and the people despaired, for all their craft was nothing before the evil tide, which overflowed earth and wood and stone. The people gathered themselves about the last tower and held it up with their backs and beat the tide away with their hands, And the dark tide was overthrown, and fell back, and the silver tower stood within a wall of men and women, weary but undaunted. And the mountain roared in a goddess' voice, so that all the world shook, saying "[SIZE=7]BUILD THOU A WALL. HOLD BACK THE TIDE.[/SIZE]" And I awoke. [/QUOTE]
