Alternate Realities – Chapter Eight : Training the dragons

She was awoken from her daydreaming about the dragons with a start when Horus touched her arm and pointed to a large clearing in the woods above which they were flying. Horus uttered a few words in the language of the light and the dragons swooped towards the clearing. She just had the time to cling on for dear life to the bony protrusion at the base of the dragon’s neck before they swooped as she had understood the command Horus gave just in time. The dragons had grown again in stature as she had been imagining them growing while they flew. They stood now in a circle around the large clearing.

 

Horus gave an order and the dragons took to the skies again before swooping down with their mouths open but without fires coming out of them. She realized that they were mimicking a flame attack but were just not using the full breath of the dragon as they did not want to set fire to the woods. Some of the dragon crossed each other’s paths and Horus asked them to stay at a safe distance from each other. He again gave the order for the attack and this time they came down swooping without crossing each other’s paths. After he had made them repeat the attack around 15 times, Horus told them that they could now play for the rest of the time.

 

The dragons scurried along the clearing and some wrestled playfully while the others flew about in the skies pursuing one another. A couple of dragons started getting overexcited and this resulted in them breathing out flames. Horus yelled out an order but it was too late. The flames had caught on to the adjacent trees that were very dry and immediately shot into a high flaming torch. The fire spread quickly to the nearby trees and it was soon a bushfire. The dragon she had rode on at the beginning swooped down from the skies and lowered his head so that she may climb up. She mounted and it immediately took off to the skies with the other dragons following closely. Horus was not very pleased with the incident but told her that the rains would take care of the bushfire in due course. He was still pleased with the rigour shown by the dragons in the training despite the incident as they were relatively young and inexperienced dragons. They are almost ready, he said with a smile.

The Shaman tales 1: No rain

The Shaman tales 1: No rain

She paused and looked at the clouds forming. They had been seeding them in hope of getting rain but she planned otherwise. Using the old conjuring of spirits of dry, she danced wildly invoking desert drought and parched lands. The land was cool from the winter winds but the skies grew clear of clouds and the dust flew in the air filling people’s chests. After all they had done to her, she vowed to not let the rains bless their lands until she received what they had taken away from her. They had thought her to be a mere vessel that they could lull back to sleep, not realising that within her the powers of the Shamans of old were reignited. She had rediscovered within her the spirits of the lineage of Shamans that went back to time immemorial when she had danced in Machu Pichu her senses blazing from the Ayahuasca brew.

Every time the clouds gathered she willed the weather back to that of dried lands. She had been in public once though and could not stop the rains from falling as she could not break into the dance of flames. As soon as she could, that one time it had rained, she had hurried back home and willed the rain to stop. Her eyes blazed with the fire of the phoenix rising within her and scorching the pelting rain to vapour before it had stilled it and reduced the clouds to small cotton balls in the sky. Hers was not a mere revenge but a mission she embarked upon with all the vigor and will of those who had been coarsely and negligently wronged.

During the nights, she spoke to the spirits of the rain and pacified them, letting them know that they could visit sites nearby where they could flow all their ardour into the lands. In her altered state she took them by the hand and guided them to locations that would either benefit from rain or where she wanted to wreck havoc in vengeance, taking them far away from where her physical body was lying. They danced through the desert skies, high above the clouds and making sure not to come into contact with these latter so that they would not be charged and wet the lands with their content. Every time she danced with those spirits, her astral body sizzled with the intermingling of the flames of the phoenix and the waters of the spirits of the rain. The result was a trail of mist and steam that onlookers identified in the sky as a streak similar to that of a wishing star. Together they danced right over Paris and other European cities before returning to the place where her body dwelt. Once the dances over, she resettled back into her body and slept a sleep riddled with dreams of the Mother.

Wicker’s flames

In the frozen Thames

Playing games

Hiding names

A hunter missing now aims

At noon lion tames

 

Morrow’s face

In liquefied grace

Keeps up pace

Opens space

Between heart and rib will place

Knowledge of the case

 

Button me

Shirt of thread down see

Endlessly

Pursue sea

In circus of flying flea

Mock Eternity

Woven tight

Nights pastures bereave

Shaking light

Knitted tight

The blaze appearing flashes

In between lashes

 

See trouble

Seething through my veins

Crumpled beds

Unshorn heads

Shaking limbs when he remains

King of my castle

 

Body double

Stirring the waters

Kindling flames

Winding trees

Rhapsody that drew the bees

Into my kingdom

The perched birds

Chirp to wilderness

Expanding

Contracting

Bridges cross nearing the ring

Dilation in fork

 

Burst the cork

Bottled amnesia

Opens wide

Onward ride

Memories whispering bees

My token honey

 

World aflame

The light none will tame

Conquered hours

Blooming flowers

The Heart in mind bending bars

Swallowing the stars

Dejection

The unworthy choice

The healers

Light dealers

Taking a step into pain

Miss taking on rain

 

Projection

Untimely intent

Choose afresh

Break the mesh

Be not mermaids of the old

Heart forever cold

 

Injection

Suffuse your wane frames

Quit the games

Played in Thames

We the River put to flames

Of Love’s impression

Bravest heart commend

You offend

Through deceit seek to befriend

Disbelief suspend

Keep your focus Garden tend

Foresight we attend

 

The Mind wend

Renew trend

Forts defend

Now a helping hand extend

For all Hearts to mend

Lives you spend

New Time will not lend

We dispend

Trodden heart now see impend

The final godsend

 

Falsehood friend

All crimes to expend

Truth contend

Earthen belly we distend

Shallow greed transcend

 

Comprehend

Sorrow we unbend

The words penned

Souls ascend

The flaming seagulls descend

Tidal flames will scend

In owing

Release of the debt

Centuries

Pile old trees

The new orchards growing wild

Garden of the child

 

The eye sees

Beyond the regret

Unending

Unbending

Flames flickering extending

Uneven hearts fret

 

We walk slow

In rhythm of glow

Candles light

Ravens flight

Pathways of morrows showing

The Last One Knowing

Paint my lids

A streak of teardrop

On backdrop

Of laughter

Getting worse getting better

Changes unfettered

 

One o One

Metamorphosis

Lessons learnt

Pupils burnt

The eye a raging fire

Knowledge a pyre

 

Flame to grow

Prometheus dam

Holding back

Rivers rage

Wisdom for none to assuage

Aching of the sage

 

Shape my buds

To taste of honey

Flowing slow

From the flow

My chest now filled with the glow

Breaking point of seams

 

Riddled dreams

Orange tangerines

Bitter sweet

As I eat

Core and more through flowing streams

The memory gleams

 

Whistle low

Softening the blow

Drunken feet

Take to street

Where we strangers known will meet

Reviving heartbeat

The cliffside narrows in thundering sea

The twist and the turn alternating roles

Hearts will and then spurn sunrise and black holes

Of bliss and gallows homicidal glee

 

Sleepless eye hollows ashen face to flee

The embers that burn in the dying coals

The memories that churn disembodied souls

In flowing shadows on renewal spree

 

The maidens attire a silken slow tale

Of morrows weaving bare hilltops to mount

Millennium’s desire era to inhale

 

Blue chest bereaving the fear to surmount

The flames of the pyre in thoughts never pale

Of minds conceiving a lifetime to count
