A young girl wakes in July of 1991, a strange dream at the edge of her thoughts. Normally her dreams are filled with death and blood, clashing blades and charging steeds... but most of all her dreams normally center around a hill... Covered in the dead, where she fights against a light so bright it blinds - Not only does it blind her, but the light itself cannot see.

The same morning, another young boy wakes with the same strange dream in his own thoughts, a startling change from the dreams that he normally experiences. Dreams of a Kingdom of Sand, a neighboring Kingdom of Green, and the Fall of a King who wishes to save his people.

Yet again, that same morning, a third child awakens. Once more they dream the same dream as the others, but this is not an unexpected dream for the last child. It is an experience they are familiar with...

Not that it matters, Dreams are just dreams... right?

Awakening from a Dream

Calamity -

Shadows dance at the edge of a silver pound, ripples of pain and suffering roil the water until it foams red with the blood of innocents. The people scream, eyes to the sky as the world unravels around them.

Then as one, they are silenced.

Again and again and again and again and again and again and again it happens

Defenders rise and defenders fall

Ice and fire, lightning and steel, air and water, space and time, they all stand guard, and one by one they all fall down.

A beam of light, so silver its almost white overlooks the shadows that stain it all, tears of molten blood running down cheeks the color of spun gold

A hand. Reaching out forever more, wrapping tight and pulling taut

twists, turns, warps and bends

Words cried out at the top of ancient lungs

A hiccup, placed thoughtlessly, and everything begins to unravel, spinning apart into a hundred thousand threats of light and sound

Memories of thoughts and thoughts of dreams, and dreams of memories.

All wrapped tight round you, all woven through you, all warped in you


The first thing that you hear as you awaken are the familiar sounds - bird's chirping, dogs barking, children playing, and of course, your alarm clock ringing. Shimmering rays of light pierce through the gap in your blinds, revealing that the day has already began, and the sun has long since risen.

Your name is Hermione Granger. First, and only child, of Daniel and Emma Granger, a pair of Dentist's here in London.

You aren't quite twelve years old yet, but you have been eleven for nearly ten months now, and you are ready for September to roll around.

It isn't just your birthday that you are waiting for of course, there is also school. Well, your new school. A school for witches and wizards...

Funny that, somehow, the reveal that you weren't like other people didn't exactly take you by surprise. Then again, you think that may have something to do with the strange dreams that you have had for as long as you can remember.

[ ][Dream] Your dreams are dominated by a monolith, a light brighter than any star, towering walls that shine with a white so pure and so bright that you can do little more than weep when you see them. You dream of clashing steel and cries of men. Dreams of men, allies, companions... friends. People you would fight for, people you would die for, people you would kill for. Friends that die on your blade like everyone else. You dream of that monolith, so massive and bright that it falls to understand the shadows it casts. A monolith you scream at, a monolith before which you beg, before which you plead. It matters not. You are not worthy, not in those cold eyes. You will be worthy though... one day.

[ ][Dream] You dream of Darkness. You dream of light. You dream of endless tunnels burrowing through the earth, dreams of towering mushrooms and scurrying bushes. You dream of hunting - hours, days... years... centuries of silence shattered by mere minutes of roaring sound. The flash of a blade free of a hand, yet with a tug of your self it returns, obedient and happy. A sorrow like the never ending rain soaks your dreams, a feeling of failure, a feeling of loss. Yet... There at the tail edge of the dream, the shadows smile at you, for you are not alone. Not anymore.

[ ][Dream] Your dreams are strange and conflicting - Dreams of blood and death and war, dreams of quite peace and a cup of tea with a friend. Dreams of classrooms, explanations falling from your lips where you are surrounded by your students, and dreams of a dark place where there is but one with you. Dreams of Black. Dreams of Blue. Dreams of Yellow. Dreams of Green. But more than any other. Dreams of Death, of death, of death, of death. Death of your students, death of your allies, death of your students, death of your enemies. Again and again and again and again. So many different ways to die, and so many different ways to live. All the while, your dreams are filled with a motherly whisper, a soft voice that you cannot remember that calms your thoughts and makes the dreams easier to bear.

[X][Dream] You dream of Darkness. You dream of light. You dream of endless tunnels burrowing through the earth, dreams of towering mushrooms and scurrying bushes. You dream of hunting - hours, days... years... centuries of silence shattered by mere minutes of roaring sound. The flash of a blade free of a hand, yet with a tug of your self it returns, obedient and happy. A sorrow like the never ending rain soaks your dreams, a feeling of failure, a feeling of loss. Yet... There at the tail edge of the dream, the shadows smile at you, for you are not alone. Not anymore.

Anyone have any ideas as to the source for any of the options?

Interesting, let's see where this is going.
 
[X][Dream] Your dreams are strange and conflicting - Dreams of blood and death and war, dreams of quite peace and a cup of tea with a friend. Dreams of classrooms, explanations falling from your lips where you are surrounded by your students, and dreams of a dark place where there is but one with you. Dreams of Black. Dreams of Blue. Dreams of Yellow. Dreams of Green. But more than any other. Dreams of Death, of death, of death, of death. Death of your students, death of your allies, death of your students, death of your enemies. Again and again and again and again. So many different ways to die, and so many different ways to live.

Fire Emblem 3 houses for the win!
No idea for the other 2.
 
Is Darkness Hollow Knight? That is my current best guess.
And the conflicting option is weird. It is more than likely set in a modern time period to judge by the reference to classrooms, so a school setting. My first guess is some kind of anime or manga, but I'm having trouble thinking of prominent teachers in those shows.

Edit: Fire Emblem does make sense, haven't played the game so didn't really think of that, but it would fit.

Votes seem pretty clear at this point, but I'm going to leave it open for another... 12-ish hours?

tomorrow morning.

Kind of surprised that no one has picked apart the first option, of all of them I thought it was the most obvious...

The cold eyes and monolith make me think Others and the Wall, but the rest doesn't quite fit so I don't know.
