Im not sure what I was in this dream…at first I thought I was a panther, my soulmate Max decided that in this lifetime, he wanted us to try to be “cousins”. I was of the age we attended high school. I was a magick weilder, as were many, but they didn’t know of each other. In order to get to school you had to go around this large stone wall, but if you were a magic user their was an opening you could wave your hand and an archway would show. One morning I was doing this, and there were 2 boys on the other side. The shock on their faces told me that they didn’t know it was there. One was mortal, the other was a large teddy bear of a boy, named Merc. He was furious he didn’t know about this, or the fact their were others that had magick like him. He had a gift for removing memories, which he did with his friend. Thankfully he could do that, or I would have had to go find Max to do it for me, as I lacked that talent.
Merc was about 6/1 and about 300 lbs, he was a fine football player. After one practice, I decided to have lunch with the team, as they all had lunch provided after practice. I didn’t watch practice, but knew when it usually ended, so I went for a quick run. If was just my luck that it ended early, and Merc was receiving some taunting because I wasn’t there. They all thought because of his size, no girl would be interested in him, I jumped down over the edge of the bleachers, and they were all surprised at my agility and that a girl could do that. I gave them a knowing smile, and noticed my Max was having lunch and I received a dirty look from him. Merc had set aside a small spot for us, and I joined him, waved my hand and set a pretty scene that only him and I, and of course Max, could see. It was lovely.
It did not end lovely, after the rest of the team left, I somehow ended up with a huge needle in my butt and Merc laughing and testing my blood. He said he couldn’t figure out what I was, I was more animal than human. He let me go, knowing I couldn’t transform, he laughed. He had done something to hold me to this form. I needed to be near the water, I don’t know why, but I could hear my ocean friends calling me. They were telling me they could help. If I was a panther, a magick user, and now I had an affinity for the water? I do not know myelf what I was.
I knew Merc was following me, so I didn’t dare go to the ocean. I was walking by a stream when a young girl waved me over and asked if I wanted to swim with her. She gave me a knowing smile and said she was brought up in this area, my question was if she was from land or water. A twinkle in her eye told me she was from the water, but has an illusion of legs attached to her body. I swam alittle with her, but this river was not far from the ocean, and my insides began to cramp with the call of the ocean, I had to go, but Merc was still here, watching.
In the end, I didn’t have a choice, they told me to let him come. My new friend, walked out of the water on the legs that looked so human, and she even had a bathing suit on. I decided her and I were going to be great friends, and she said she knew Merc was close by, she was in a few of his classes at school and thought he was to dumb to know he had magick. I told her what happen with the needle and she just shook her head, shocked.
We made our way to the ocean edge, there was an inlet that many of my ocean friends were waiting for me. I found I could speak their animalistic language and called my dolphins to me first. I hugged, kissed, and played with each one. My mermaid friend had never dared come to the ocean, I found she had a fear of the unknown. She quickly became engrossed as each dolphin came to us, and she could speak to them as well. I was wondering what merc was thinking about all of this.. I new that after my friends surrounded me, they had done something to return my powers, I could feel it right to the center of my panther.
One of my favorite seahorses had recently had a young, and that young bravely approached me, seems his mother had told him who I was. I played with him for a brief time til he nipped me, and I laughingly scolded him and called his mother over. She apologized and promised to speak to him.. She was all silver white, and her mane was blowing through the air, as if she wasn’t just sunk in the water. I nuzzled her neck and spent several moments with her, she also shared her energy with me. My next friends I had to swim out to meet. My mermaid, would not venture out to this task with me. She was where I was heading and her fear held her back.
Shamath was the first to reach me, his cold wet nose kissed my cheek. He was the biggest cuddler of the entire pod, he was also the largest. I am sure that if I was a whale he would have claimed me as a mate. The strength his pod gave me, almost gave me a high. Soon everyone was surrounding me and singing. I couldn’t help but sing in human language, as they knew I would. Their voice, mixed with mine was pure magick.I do not know how any human never saw me like this, whether I case an illusion or my friends did, I never knew. I did not question how these enemies of the ocean could come together without fear of each other, I only knew they were all here for me.
After I swam back to shore to place more with my dolphins, they told me Merc had seen enough, and I was safe to leave now, he wouldn’t bother me again. As I started leaving the shoreline, I saw Max sitting in a treeline watching me. I wondered how long he could stand not being with me, a soulmate is only half a soul without the other. Is he finally learning this lesson, the love that was in his eyes watching me leave my friends, I thought he might be, but I couldn’t look at him as each time I did, knowing I couldn’t walk into his arms, my heart would break alittle more.
I walked right passed Merc, his eyes were wary, I wasn’t sure why, but he didn’t say anything. My mermaid walked beside me, and we ended up back at the school before we knew where we were headed. She ended up going home and I headed to the forest, within seconds my silver white fur flowed as my paws pounded along the forest floor, I was in my panther form, and loving it.
What was I? A magick user? A panther? Part of the ocean? I do not know, while running I was as happy as I was in the ocean. Maybe I am all 3.
