Walking towards the ruins, was a huge figure, at least twenty feet tall, a giant armoured figure, whose helm was so tall and had three pairs of eye slits, with a few crowns pressed into one another set atop the helm. Sticking out his back were giant spider's legs, curling forwards around him. Several silhouettes of others seemed to be oblivious to the huge figure, who approached them from behind...
Then, he saw something else: eternal shadows that enveloped everything, and the dream changed to blackness. He felt himself sinking into this darkness, and the farther he descended, the more he felt like he was being watched. Soon, pairs of eyes popped here and there, big, white, round eyes, that glowed, just like his own. The pairs of white eyes appeared here and there, until they were all around, a mass of white glowing eyes.
He gradually saw silhouettes, but could not make out who or what they were exactly. They made grinding noises with their teeth, and slowly closed in on him from all directions... as they neared, he saw that the beings seemed to be wearing heavy armour, armour that was black and shiny, like the shells of black beetles, like obsidian, their armour fashioned to look like a skeleton, wielding weapons of the same material. Some of the armoured silhouettes were quite huge, like lupine ogres. So many foes... how could he defeat all of them by himself?
Then, he felt something else, coming from far, far below... the plights of innocents wailed underneath him, silhouettes stretching out to him to be saved, wanting the chance at life once again. Did he want to save them? But he had to fight his many foes! Surely, if he dove down into the darkest shadows, to save those below him, his many foes would amass upon him...
As the dream ended, Gideon's tomb would soon break apart, and he would be set free. His shining white eyes would, after so long, embrace sunlight...
