Dream - Ducis
A very cool series of related dreams.
A fae clan had declared a feud with my community and the children were at risk. My home was very crowded with children and caretakers seeking refuge - for some reason I was considered the person who could shelter them. I went to the middle school to see what I could do about safe-guarding them there - at this point I had no idea how I was supposed to deal with fae magic. I met with a lot of the students - high school as well as middle (the youngest were all tucked away safely in homes) - then went up to one of the classrooms for a private meeting. Apparently with some fae who were allied with us. They called me something that translated as Ducis (latin, genetive of Dux - leader. Of the leader?)
After that, when I first exited the room, I was in another building - white and featureless, endless corridors. I knew that was wrong, so I re-entered the room and exited again, this time into the school corridor. There were two policemen at the far end of the hallway, calling out for me to stop, that I was under arrest. If I had obeyed, that would have put me in jail, someplace where I could be easily found and eliminated, so I didn't. So I concentrated on being invisible. Didn't work. Started to run - still concentrating - then I jumped up to the ceiling and held on (spiderwoman yah!). Apparently this time the invisibility spell worked because the police ran on, chasing an glamour of me still running away.
I went down to the cafeteria - which was crowded. One of the cheerleaders from the high school greeted me as "Deusie" and pulled me over to a table overcrowded with football players - asking if I remembered them. I joked around, calling one Ruc and ... I swear I called another Throckhammer but later in the dream I was told that I hadn't. Can't remember the other two names. {edited to add - watching Wind Rose's Diggy diggy hole I remember that I called them those names because I suspected that they were dwarves.} After a laugh, I went on my way. One of the football players followed me to the stairs (the one I thought I called Throckhammer), he said that next year was the choosing and wanted to know if I already had a count (!?!) I told him that I didn't even have a county. Very seriously he said that if he did, he'd give it to me if I'd take him as a vassal. {I guess he was one of the allied fae?}
Ended up in a wizard's burrow (I guess it was a hobbit's burrow but it was filled with scatty-minded wizards. Came across another of the football players - the one I called Ruc - in the burrow. It was he who told me that I hadn't called anyone Throckhammer {maybe I was the only one who saw, or remembered the fae player?}.
The burrow was a real mess ... and crowded. Even more crowded when one wizard's pet cow tried to push her way in and climb into the bed I had made up for my husband and myself. I held the door for her until another wizard came and led her away ... to another bed.
It was when I woke up that I realized why everyone kept calling me Deusie. From Ducis.
