I Dream

Have you ever had a dream where you weren't the dreamer?In an ancient land called Archaia, a bastard prince waits patiently for his throne. But the birth of a pure-blooded heir throws his stoical plans into squalor and turmoil. Forced by fate, and embarking upon a perilous calling of ever-increasing foreboding and majesty, the Bastard Prince sets in motion a conspiracy that leads to a scheme that gives birth to a war that echoes through eons.Meanwhile, in a far future, a young woman studies history at a prestigious institution, planning her future of joining the esteemed ranks of the writers of Approved History as transcribed by the State. Through the gateway of a forbidden item, she is pulled apace into an underworld of crime and intellectual debouchment. And as her life spirals, she contemplates, both in her life and her studies, the conspiracies, schemes, and wars that echo through eons.I Dream is of three very personal stories of three people on epic quests and paramount journeys. It is of the inner dialogues of doubts, fears, and hopes that plague them every step of the way. A story of perceived giants, their grandiosity stripped away to reveal the very real, vulnerable, and approachable personage within. Destiny, as described by those destined for greatness, but told during the rise, when not even they could believe. Written in the first-person perspective to show a side of the characters that not even those closest to them could see. To argue that life is not about winning the battle but about fighting the fight and keeping the faith. I Dream is a story about perseverance, overcoming, and finding yourself and your place in the world. It is the inner monologue of destiny itself, as transcribed by the hand of fate.
