Bleh. Minor, minor, but really rather surreal dream crapped out on me memory wise before I could really grab on to much (besides space monk dudes sacrificing themselves to maintain some kind of forcefield against space, I guess. It was one of about three planets visited during the dream.), which is particularly depressing/annoying in this case 'cause my brain was composing again. All I can remember is a partial lyric remnant that goes <something> <something> "with their bones". Dum da dum da with their bones, dumdada dumdada with their bones.
Then there was other bits, it was majestic and morose and I think about noble sacrifice and now it's pretty much all gone. Blaargh.
creepy.
A few months ago I had a dream that consisted of the last 15 minutes of an first in a series of fantasy movies that finished a number of plot elements that had been developing throughout... The problem is that the dream did not include any of the buildup to that point.
Basically there were two young male hero's trying to save a corrupt city from the "Dogs of War", an undefined but unstoppable force of supernatural destruction. To this end they must destroy evidence of the crimes committed by the nobles who run the city, while also trying to defeat those same corrupt nobles. One of the heroes was a young boy cursed with some kind of necromantic/telekinetic power over dead bones. This boy used his power to draw the bones of thousands of children from the swamps surrounding the city and pile them against the walls, to be burned and destroyed. This boy did not tell his friend that in order to fulfill their mission, that he would also have to be sacrificed.
Dramatic scene occurs, the older boy, some kind of squire or wannabe knight who spent most of the movie befriending and protecting the young necromancer refuses to burn his friend who is has by now buried himself neck deep in the bones of the dead. Now the corrupt noble walks into the scene, dramatic fight occurs. The young protector manages to get in one good hit, that cracks his ribs but is ultimately stopped by the armor. The young protector looses the fight, badly, getting run through the stomach and falls to the floor dieing. As the evil noble raises his sword to land the finishing blow, the necromancer rises and rips the broken ribs out of his foe, shredding his organs with it.
The movie ends with the young necromancer loading his barely living friend onto a camel and leading a caravan of orphans and other rifraf out of the city as it burns in the background. The city is still doomed, but maybe they will find a way to defeat the "Dogs of War" in the next movie/season/whatever.
The problem is... I have no idea how this whole thing started, who these people were, what was the deal with the bones, just what are the dogs of war and why are they so feared by the hero's but not the villains, or even what plots got resolved, or why this felt like such an awesome and satisfying scene.
