[Unhealthy Obsessions]

Kalons-- a species with soft manes and even softer hearts.

Monitored in forests across the globe for years, these animals
have recently been declared naturally tame as well as sentient.
Scientists are asking the general population to consider adopting
Kalons for further study in their capabilities of intelligence.

A story involving them:: The moments between wake and dream are always the most vivid.

Tonight, her eyes opened upon a magnificent world- one full of conflict, of strife. But also of pride, and of glory.

This is the story of that world.


★


Knights riding horseback swept through the open, wheated plains. Each side held aloft a great banner, a coat of arms- not only adorned with its army's color, but also a symbol depicting the legacy of their kingdoms. One, brilliant red and gold, was embroidered with a white boar's head. The other, silver and purple, was painted with the profile view of a ram's head and neck.

She walked on air, invisible over the scene. It was like that often in her dreams- that she could watch on, make choices, but nothing around her would change. A measure in futility. Ellen had learned to live with it.

A clarion call rose above the battlefield, interrupting the paused scene before her. At once, horses reared up, men charged, chaos erupted. While she had seen many battles unfold in her dreams, this one was greater in scale than any before. Thousands of knights in armor on either side clashed swords and lances, tempo quickening and slowing like her breaths in and out. She found herself watching the battle play out in slow motion close up, zooming out, and watching it quicken and pulse. Men falling left and right, only for more to take their place and repeat it.

A heartbeat.

Like breaths and sore muscles, the battle slowed as time passed. Though at the beginning of the battle the sun had not even peeked completely over the tops of the hills in the far distance, it was now beginning to set behind the red and gold men. Ellen had no sense of how time had progressed, having slipped through the breaks in chronology like a ghost. Time was fluid here- it progressed how it saw fit. Everything, even advancing at maximum speed as of now, seemed to slow down.

Still, men fought and clashed at the front lines, though their fervor was gone. Each was battle-weary, unsure. If there was a rhythm before, it was dropped as the beat slowed. Some even dropped their weapons, either too tired or too pessimistic to continue on. The battle had come to a stalemate, a standstill- no one was winning. There was only suffering for either side.

For a few precious moments, everything ground to a halt.

"We have his head!"

The shriek from the blue side cut through the lull of evening and fatigue among the men of the battlefield. A zoom in- indeed, the man speaking held what appeared to be a high-ranking officer, perhaps a general, of the red side by his collar. His expression was full of terror, indignation, and hopelessness. A sword of some sort was pinned to his throat, poised at any minute to rob the general of his life.

Zoom out. Pulse.

Some fighting spirit had returned to the men on the front line. Slowly, red and gold was pushed back, towards a distant village. More red than blue was falling now, numbers dwindling. Knights donning red banners fled backwards, seeking solace from the battle. They were now painfully aware this had become a fight for survival, not glory- and they were to be the ones who survived.

Somewhere, someone tipped over a barrel of oil.

In the blink of an eye, the field erupted in flames. The blue side's pace quickened, and they advanced closer and closer to the town. A cacophony of screams now overwhelmed the former metal on metal clashing. Flames behind the army advanced towards the town, which was now falling into chaos itself. Women and children fled, whinnying horses pulled out of their reigns, shops and homes were left abandoned. The orange light and smell of burning drowned out the distant setting sun.

The leader of the blue side set one foot onto the paved ground at the precipice of the town.

"You awake, Elly?"

The Kalon grumbled, eyes bleary as she found herself back at home in her bed. Glancing up, she spotted her roommate peering through the door frame, seemingly a bit concerned.

"I am now."

"Sorry. Breakfast is ready. Any interesting dreams?"

"Boy, it'd be one hell of a novel."
