I dreamt of darkness last night. Looking up to the sky I see blackness instead of stars. The world under a cover of dark black cloud, the only light coming from distant lights in a dull orange shade. Standing on the beach near my home, I look out at an enemy. It stands far down the beach staring at me. Cloaked in darkness, nothing of it is visible save the eyes. The eyes peer out at me fiery red, unblinking. I smile, for this is my domain, this is my place. That it dare face me here is almost laughable until I see it take hold of water and feel reality shift. Anger boils up inside me, I am no longer smiling. I grudgingly share earth and have nothing to do with fire, but air and water are mine. And this upstart tries to turn water against me. Fool. A simple thought and I grasp water and by strength of will tear it from the grip of my enemy. I laugh mockingly and throw it all against my foe. Without warning, I am hit by earth and I fall upon the beach. Reality shifts again. The clouds break and the fire of the stars falls down on me. I lost my grip on water and I reach blindly for air to shield me. I am weakened and my control wavers. Air comes, but without reserve, without any control. I stand helpless as air rages around me and I am frozen in cold, frozen in a moment of time. Falling fire hits and I shatter and am scattered across the sand. I lose sense of reality as darkness comes. I begin to drift and I hear it, 'You are done. May rest be upon you, unworthy adversary, until all ends' and the darkness becomes complete.
I know not what dreams mean or may foretell, but this is one of the most interesting I have remembered upon waking.
