In the dream, I was Chinese empire archer. It started with me standing with a bunch of people facing a huge gate and a battle is upon us. It's night, it is pitch black and is lit only with lanterns and torch. Sounds of battle, commanders yelling and screams of misery can be heard outside of the huge gate. Standing on my left side is a girl about the height of my shoulder and she too is a fellow archer and it felt like I have known her for some time. Why are there a girl in a Chinese empire army, I've no idea. She noticed something from my uniform is loose and helped me to tie it and lastly give me a pat on my back. I got a hunch that I will never come back alive and I know that I love this girl (in the dream). I give her a big hug just moments before the gates open and flares can be seen shooting up in the sky to luminate the battlefields.
I charge into the battlefield. After a while the girl is nowhere to be found, the battlefield is too chaotic. It is dark, dusty and the only time I can see clearly is when someone shot a flare up giving light for about 5 minutes and even it's that, the light flashes like a burned out light bulub. I figure I have no time for this as there is a battle to be fought now, so I keep shooting. Not before long, I ran out of arrows. I'd start salvaging arrows from corpses but the enemies seem endless, so I pulled out my short pike and start fighting. I'm slashed from the back in a blink of an eye into the fight. As I die, stuffs from memory I didn't live through flashes in my eyes.
I saw myself in a shooting range, learning to shoot an arrow straight with a few dudes and lasses beside me. I blacked out and wake up in another scene, where I was walking with a few army friends of mine on a roofed bridge beside a waterfall. We were going there since one of the fat guy said that he found out that the gals have been to the waterfall to take a bath, so we perverts rushed there with our uniforms on. So, we scared the gals away and there's only left us dudes, the waterfall and the bridge. Some of the dudes jumped in the waterfall since the gals were gone. While a few groups of us, including me and a few of my friends stayed on the bridge and chat.
We started with some small talks, a friend of mine said "Why are we even fighting this war anyways? We are obviously losing the war." where another replied him "Well, you can just run away." "To where? The whole China is in war!" "That'll be impossible... Getting out of this country now is like staying alive in the battlefield." and there was a pause in the chit chatting, other groups muffled voice and laughter can be heard from the background together with the sound of splashing water from the waterfall. "I broke the silence with, well you can just hide away from the real battle and shoots arrow now and then. I know I did, that's why I'm still breathing and talking to you guys now!" The others laughed and the scene faded out.
Then, another scene came in. It was just after a battle, I can see soldiers salvaging and piling the dead for a mass cremation in a nearby city. It happened that I ended up with only one arrow in my quiver. I searched for arrows from the corpses and I found none but a short pike I decided to keep. Then someone tap my shoulder from the back and hand me over some arrows. It was that gal (that one from the start), she gave me half of her arrows to me. I took the arrows delightly and said thanks. We took a stroll in the city and chatted for a bit. Civilians were donating arrows to us archers and she excused herself since I was short on arrows. I bid farewell and ran ahead collecting arrows from civilians and then it all fades to black again.
Then one short scene appears before me, it seems that my sister who is working as a transport and export manager or some sort is going to send or get some supplies from nearby countries. She points to an island in the map and said that she could smuggle me to a country called Singapore to hide while the war ends since she knows that I don't want to fight the war no more. I blacked out not long while after she said that and I guess I died.
As to why I never went along with the shipment to Singapore, I don't know.
