"A Dream in the Making" Dreame sees it coming..coming true now…..she had a dream
the previous night, and many dreams like this before, that she
was on “horseback” with “him,” her prince, and every time she
has had this dream, she was “his” princess on “his” horse.
Always behind him, galloping so fast and hugging him, so
hard….Her “dream” was coming true….
She is speeding on horseback in Northern England with a man,
a real man (just like the one in her dreams). She knows that
her dream is coming true. The “prince” from her dreams…is…
Real….now.
---
Racing through a forest beneath the border of Ireland, they are
of each other and one and the same. Though each do not say
a word, they both desire,
this moment to last…
forever…..
Three hours earlier, wanting an escape, she wandered off, as
she has done many times before, into the forest away from
“them:” her husband, his brother, and Dreame’s two younger
sisters. For the past five years, the “family”, has come to
Northern England. They search, each year to find a certain
flower, which they can grow and harvest on their property in
Ireland, for a profit. Three hours ago, when their caravan was
nearing the border of Ireland, Dreame wandered off without
them knowing.
She feels the wind through her red hair and holds tight to this
strong stranger, which found her lost. He obviously knows the
way back to the road, by the confidence in “direction” she
feels in him, which doesn’t surprise her. They are nearly there,
because, she sees the family’s caravan ahead through the
trees. She speaks a sudden “Now stop.” He, Reginald
WIlmington(of Scottish decent, but living in London(which she
does not know of this fact, as of this moment))wonders why
she, this woman who did not give up her name to him, wants
to stop here, when he is so close giving her… to her family.
She is off his horse with a bound, and walks a few steps, then
he follows, for they love each other immediately, and he
begins to search for someway, someway to tell her or to give
her something to remember….just to remember him. At that
moment, she turns and displays a flower to him, for he realizes
that she was searching as well, for something to give to him!
She says,”Here,” and then hears loudly from the road, a large
voice of anger, “Dame!!!,… There she is!” Quickly, Reginald
tears a crest from his inner jacket and presses it into her palm
and says, “Here.”
He then exits.
---
The family returns to a small village in middle Ireland.
---
Reginald (30 years old) returns to London, and it is the night of
one of the many preparatory galas, celebrating his pre-
arranged….. marriage (decreed by two fathers upon birth of
children) which Reginald has put off for many years. For in
England, two houses are to be joined by matrimony.
Reginald’s family is wealthy(not primarily) from purchasing
land in Ireland, from poor land owners (by using a certain
illegal land acquisition practice, unbeknownst to all of Europe
at the time). This lucrative practice, makes it so, that the family
could purchase land in America as well. Sandra(the pre-
arranged fiancé)is of a famous family in London, which owns
many, many bartering businesses throughout England, and this
family is thrilled at the thought of attaching “America” to their
realm. The gala is wonderful and Reginald, because he is
hiding the fact that he fell in love…. with a…. “dream”, chooses
to project a general frustration throughout the evening. His
“oddness” at the party is pshawed, and Sandra and all smile
and know that in two month’s time, “the two houses” will be
joined together, as Reginald’s father and Sandra’s father
desired… so many years ago……..
---
Life for Dreame is of a typical “potato famine” life of struggling,
with a normal size “growing” yard and a too small of a home,
where privacy is rare, and the by-product of this “lack of
privacy”, is the fact that the brother desires to be “with”
Dreame, and spies on her and suffers her. The husband allows
this and enjoys that Dreame is suffering. Dreame carries the
“crest” of Reginald with her, hidden in the toe of her shoe
everyday, and of course, the one thing she mostly desires is,…
“finding out more”….. about this crest. She has to find out
what the last name is, of the man she loves, beyond words.
For everyday that has evolved, since the meeting of this
“unknown” love of hers, she sees this man as her last chance
for happiness on earth.
On this day, she goes about her normal chores. She hides her
excitement that she is of knowledge, based on a discovery of a
shoppe in town, that has books of history and of families
attached to crests! Dreame, looks at the sky, and is
determined, for she knows now,…. that it is time to go to
market(and to the shoppe, in secret).
-abbreviatory-
Another smaller (pre-wedding) dinner, and the families, of the
two houses, see Sandra off to make an excursion to her aunt,
in a not to distant town……Reginald meets with his father and
he is again sent to Ireland to purchase land again.
Reginald is….like the wind……to her…..to find her……and to……
freedom?
---
Dreame watches carefully, as the historian flips through the
old books of “crests” and names. If she could just obtain the
last name, she could possibly..maybe….get lost in England…and
find him. While the shopkeeper is trying to find the matching
crest, they are interrupted by the youngest sister, frightened
and exclaiming that the husband is coming! Dreame hurries
home frustrated, and without “his” name with her, and vows
to herself to come back in three days, when the “in town”
festival commences. She has to try again.
---
Three days move forward, and Reginald is nearing the actual
village that Dreame lives in.
---
The festival is here. Dreame’s family is in town, to enjoy the
festival, and the sisters(as planned earlier) distract the men,
while Dreame enters into the shoppe, once more. This time,
she secures the last name, and hides it in the other shoe. Out
on the street, excited about this acquisition, Dreame feels the
need to adjust her shoe once more. While bending down to
address this issue, Reginald, on horseback, moves past the
shoppe, and Dreame, neither to see her…or she to see him….
at all.
Seven days later, he is traveling down through England, with a
property in hand,….. bought from a brutish man….. with a odd
brother attached…who talked of how this sale would benefit
his wife and her two younger sisters. Reginald, who
considered the trip a failure, obviously, was now resigned to
marry Sandra and to (pretense),…to forget about………”her”.
---
Sandra is at a castle, and it isn’t owned by her aunt at all. She
stands in front of a man. The castle is owned by a man she is
married to already (secretly). His name is Dark(his last name).
He is of evil and has a plan to obtain the entire wealth of both
houses. The first part of the plan, that is stated here, is,…to..…
kill Reginald. The fact of the matter is, is that this man of evil,
feels that Reginald’s father has shown “weakness” in his life).
This character named “Dark”, feels that if Reginald is dead, the
father can be easily bought….and sold. The second part of the
plan is that Dark must kill Sandra’s Father and brother, which
would erase any blood ties to properties owned by Sandra’s
family. Dark, would plainly gain by simply displaying his
marriage of deception, at the appropriate time.
In the castle of Dark, at this moment, there is summoned a
man of “blackness”, and Dark, in reference to Reginald, says to
him, “Kill him.”
---
Home now in England, Reginald bounces around and “readies”
the house for the wedding, hiring chefs and decorators to
display the world of the “Wilmingtons” at their highest
expression. He is seen in town so “happy” and all around him
reflect that.
---
The caravan of Dreame’s family is happy, but nervous about
moving and placing their roots down, in an area past London
to southeast of England. With their property sold in Ireland,
they are free from the hard life. Traveling slowly on the main
road downwards through England, Dreame’s eyes are always
open to see if “he” is riding, northern England as well. The
man in blackness(in normal English clothes) gambles that
Reginald is coming down from Ireland. He heads straight
across to upper England and if he does not find him, the plan is
to scour down to London before the wedding occurs, to kill
Reginald. Days before he reaches the main roads of northern
England, his stallion begins to suffer illness, and dies a day
later. He is on foot now(deciding, obviously to head down to
London and hopefully, to find a caravan to speed his journey).
Dreame’s caravan sees this man in need of food and travel.
This man creates a “sympathetic character of wonderfulness”
to gain entry into their traveling lives. He looks up at the
husband, smiles, and begins to spin a good “yarn.” The
husband agrees to allow him to join the caravan and they roll
on. Each night, the man of “blackness” befriends the husband
for he sees an object of acquisition in Dreame, and men of
“evil”, at this time would secure a woman to be an asset, a tool
to use for manipulation in instances of betrayal, and men like
this would press his “evilness” onto a woman, such as Dreame,
and win her over to gain a “partner in crime” for as long as she
is valuable in this way.
Watching Dreame, during these first few days, he simply
knows that she may be, in fact will be, enticed by a certain
“unveiling” of an attractive alliance of evil, with a man named
Dark. Dreame, studying this man during these first few days,
views this man as a nice man at first, but she is leery of any
man, of these times, on roads, such as these. The days are
spent rolling along, towards London, with normal banter
heard, and this man is continually talking at great lengths with
Dreame, telling his “pretend” life story. The husband sees over
this of course of time, “attachment” grow in this man,
attachment to Dreame for some unknown reason. The
evenings, the women by the fire, watch the husband and this
man get drunk and drunker, and always, they drink until the
women fall asleep, and let them be. One night, this man, by
the fire, knowing that Dreame has been secretly staying awake
for many nights, to keep an eye on “her” new attractive suitor,
tells of a plan to kill a man in England, and the man in
blackness describes him perfectly, his face, his hair, his clothes,
his “crest”, even down to the style of horse he rides and he
speaks his name….and it is….. Reginald Wilmington of London.
This horrible man continues, and exclaims aloud, in a drunken
fervor, “And, he is to be married in three weeks time!”
Dreame overhears this and is of horror and excitement. She
now knows the first name of the man she loves ….However,
though,… she is shocked to realize, that Reginald is to be
married to another woman!….and worst of all, is the fact, that
this horrible man desires to kill “her” Reginald, and he is riding
in her “caravan” with her.
Over the next two nights, Dreame pretends to sleep, and
listens to the details of what this man is planning to do. The
man of “blackness” unveils to the husband, that he is under
the guidance of another man named “Dark,” who is planning
to kill off “all” the “males” of importance, of both families, to
obtain the wealth and property of these two realms…….
---
Back in London, Reginald, during the last two weeks, has
clearly been outwardly excited about the “joining” of the two
houses,….but it has been of …..pretense,……. for he has hid an
unbelievable plan…a plan to meet…”her”… finally. He has had
scribes printing the same letter over and over again….A letter,
to entice, her to…..meet at an inn in Ireland. The letter is as
such….”To a fair skinned, woman of Ireland, that is of the fire
of hair, the bluest of eyes and the fragrance of Lilac. I gave you
a crest of mine, of Wilmington, one moon ago, and now the
moon is full and I, Reginald, will be at the Briarwood Inn, ten
marks above Ireland border. Meet me there, my love, on the
23rd of June, evening of 8 o’clock. Don’t tarry, love…..for I am
where you are….right now….and I will always be ….for
you….forever.” Reginald had nine scribes find nine scribes and
each scribe printed this letter…nine times and each scribe
found nine more scribes and had them repeat this process of
multiplication. This continued until a thousand of riders were
heading up to journey through Ireland, to deliver the letter to
“any” woman of Ireland that did fit the letter’s description.
---
Night after night the caravan moved towards London. The
husband was completely “enamered” with this man, who was
obviously attaching himself to Dreame, and Dreame of course
was not of “it.” The husband hated Dreame, and this hatred
grew during this trip, because he could see, and did notice
since of their last journey to England, when she got “lost”,
beauty blossoming within her for some reason, and as the
countryside of England moved past the wagon, he angrily
watched her beauty and enjoyment blossom further. Also, he
knew, as well as all, that she never loved him, nor even liked
him from the start of their union and the further down into
England they traveled, these thoughts of being joined together
in an eternal life “prison” with her, so escalated. So much so,
that on another drunken night, knowing the man of “black”
desired Dreame so much, he divorced Dreame in front all
screaming, “Dame, you are not of thine, but you are of thine
husband there!” He pointed to the man, and while holding up
a marriage contract with the other hand, that the man in
blackness drew up earlier, he continued, and shouted, “and I
shall sign thy paper, and you, man, shall (laughing) have this
horrible thing.” So, by paper, he signed, and then he signed,
and shocked, she even signed too, and thus all signed Dreame
over to be the wife of this man of “murder.” Dreame’s new
husband paid handsomely for her, and therefore, it was a
profitable transaction as well.
Dreame was in hell, and gratefully(after great arguing by the
two men) nothing was going to be “consummated” until the
“new” couple had the wedding ceremony in London(after the
murder of Reginald was accomplished).
---
It was time for Reginald to leave for the north to the
Briarwood, and all is prepared for the wedding in case he does
not find her, for he is imprisoned by his lineage, even though,
most importantly, he is mostly of a desire to end the “position”
of being “next” in line to take over his family’s required duties,
and thus, to risk poverty for…her…… He is off.
---
Meanwhile Sandra (with Dark), on their journey back to
London for the “wedding,” unveils that, on the last day before
the journey to London began, Sandra found a letter in Dark’s
desk, proclaiming the desire and need for the deaths of her
father and brother. In the carriage, later the next day, the
entire plan is unveiled, and Sandra is of not caring at all that
her family will be murdered soon,…actually at the wedding by
Dark and associates!....Onward they travel to London……
---
In the last few days, the thousand of riders on horseback
cascaded to the north, with letters in toe. Each of the carriers,
of the letter from Reginald, pass by Dreame, for she….. was
not…..…in….….Ireland. The caravan, though today, pointed
south, is about to stop at an inn, itself, before it makes it’s final
journey to London……
---
Reginald pounds his way up towards Ireland, and yes must
stop, for it is evening, and hunger knaws at him. He sees in the
distance, his favorite inn….. and a light glows in front and
illuminates the wagons, and horses outside as usual. He
comes in the back of the inn, like he usually does and sees….
Her…. at a table with three men and two women. He makes
eye contact….she spills a huge amount of ale…and she,
apologetic, moves to the bar to get a towel…..She sees him and
arranges a quick meeting later(when all are asleep) in the back
room area. When all lights have dimmed,
Dreame and Reginald….
make love in the back of the Inn…
unbeknownst….
Afterwards, she stuns him with the news that a man named
“Dark” (telling Reginald the tale that she’s heard many times
from the “new” horrible husbands lips) has sent this horrible
man (that she has been sold to) to kill Reginald. She talks
passionately of running away with Reginald, but Reginald (who
is of furry) is of silencing this terrible threat first, and of killing
off Dark and this “man” (who Reginald and Dreame state
slowly and stoically together, “Is not my (your) husband”). In
doing all of this, and ending “Dark’s” reign, Reginald, thus
saves his family’s holdings, and though he realizes that the evil
Sandra has deceived him from the start, he strongly desires to
protect Sandra’s family from harm, and not let Dark, see the
light of victory!
They make love again…..strongly….. knowing there’s a huge
challenge ahead, for the reunited couple. They have to
journey to London separately now,…. for tears flow…for early
sun does show…some light. They realize, as goodbyes are
spoken softly, for to “right” everything, means that now they
have to pretend that everything is “as it was.” They, however,
vow to marry each other… the next day…. separately, alone
out loud…. to God. They separate, and Reginald gallops back
to London to ready himself to set things “right”. Dreame,
immediately upon final kiss, runs out into the forest and far
away from the camp.
The next day, Dreame’s family is upset to have to search again
for her. Reginald, with each breath, on the road to London
proclaims eternal marriage and love to Dreame…Meanwhile,
while sitting by a tree, Dreame has tied two twigs together
with grass and the twigs have little leaf heads on them. She
performs a wedding ceremony for the happy couple, and
makes the twigs kiss each other and promise eternal love…She
is then found, by her family, again. The man of black, furious
and late, finds a horse and moves quickly alone towards
London, for time is of the essence, and he smells something
foul. He promises to meet up with the family at the “Reginald
wedding” and of course, after the murder of said Reginald, he
pledges to marry Dreame right there and then…..Off he goes.
---
To London, they all go……..
---
In London, the man of blackness, after a quick interview with
Reginald’s head steward, is now a hired hand, paid by the
house of Wilmington, to secure a successful union of food,
feast and “marry”-“ment.” The house is all of excitement!
Reginald arrives, and immediately is observing the new hired
hand, Sandra, and her new “steward”(Dark), and of course, he
watches all of the hustle and bustle in the grand home.
The night before the actual wedding, Reginald (hidden from
view) witnesses the killings of the father and the brother of
Sandra. The murders are reported to his father and though
late in the evening, guards are investigating… who, what,
where, when. During the confusion, Reginald (who followed
the killer “Dark” and saw him hide the a sharp dagger) secures
the murder weapon and hides it on his person.
The wedding day arrives, and Dreame’s family, once in London,
comes directly to the house of Wilmington, because Dreame’s
husband, the man in blackness commanded that Dreame come
immediately to the scene of his crime, which is the house of
Wilmington. The husband, holds a drawn up “family”
invitation, from the man in blackness, as well, and is ready to
witness a murder and a “wedding”. Dreame, looks around the
beautiful inner sanctuary in “amazement,” and the bustling to
and fro, of guests getting ready for the ceremony to begin. She
smiles to herself, and knows that there is a “husband” existing
in this house for her. She, and her family, enters into the
wedding chamber. The ceremony begins and Sandra is walking
down the isle towards Reginald, who for the past two hours
has been trying search, as best he can, for Dreame. As Sandra
moves closer to him, Reginald finally sees Dreame. He stands
forth, interrupts the ceremony, and in front of all, declares,
“He!(pointing to the man of blackness) murdered Sandra’s
father and brother last night!!!” All is of chaos, and again
Reginald proclaims, “And he has the murder weapon upon
him”(which was planted earlier by Reginald himself on the
man of blackness). Guards search this man and the weapon is
found!, and he is then taken out to the gallows. As he is being
dragged out of the hall, he proclaims to the hall and to
Dreame’s family, that it is all Dreame’s family’s fault, for he
accuses Dreame and the family for betraying him. He turns
and he grins in an evil way, and loudly, directly accuses the
husband of betrayal and accuses Dreame of a rendezvous with
Reginald at the inn, the night she spilled the large drink, and
thus she most certainly told the story of he and Dark to
Reginald, and he attaches the husband to the betrayal as well.
The old husband, angered and insulted, throws the money
gained from purchase of Dreame, back him, hitting him
squarely in the eye, and thus ending the contract of marriage
between Dreame and the man in blackness. Exploding from
anger, Dreame’s newly arrested and divorced man of
blackness, “husband” isn’t done yet and grabs her and begins
to drag Dreame out of the hall.
Reginald screams out, “Take your hands off my wife!” At that
moment, Dark, stepping forward out of hiding, with a long
sword thrusts it into Reginald and retracts. Dreame screams
and tears herself away from capture and runs to Reginald.
Reginald,…. down,…. Dreame embraces….and says, “You’re not
done, my husband.” Sandra pulls sword, then all pull swords…
then Reginald pulls sword and reveals that underneath his shirt
he wore “male of chain” and the stab from Dark’s sword
merely knocked him down. Dreame screams, “Horray!!!”
Reginald finds and throws a sword to Dreame, who screams,
“To death!”, and the sword fight of everyone there begins. It’s
a milieu of sword play, and the number of opponents are
many. For Dark, in the last few days has placed many evil
“minions of secrecy,” throughout the hall, with invitations to
suite! Reginald and Dreame battle to victory!, and even the
two sisters help as well! and Dark and Sandra and company are
slain! and alls well that ends well here for the marriage
ceremony (after a short clean up) continues,…….. but with a
new couple!…Reginald and Dreame….They marry,… right?
there and proclaim afterwards, that they shall live in America
possibly and most certainly, at Reginald’s recently purchased
“property” in Ireland …….and thus of course….. finally,….they
together…can…and will.
make a dream come true.
The end
