Red lights

Master of Puppets I am in a strange place I do not recognize at all, so I look around to see where I am. The place is really strange, it looks like something out of an abstract art piece, an surreal art work, everything is strangely distorted like maybe I am in a strange cartoon. I walk around for a bit to see if I can find any sign of where I am, and I finally find a person there. I look at him for a couple minutes, he looks like a normal person, but he is in a strange position... kind of hanging there, as if he is hanging from nothing... I finally do a reality check and I realize I am dreaming. The man hanging strangely in front of me is Malkus, though I am wondering what is wrong with him. I speak his name, I reach out towards him, and then his head jerks upward suddenly, he has a really strange look on his face. He is also moving really strangely, kind of like a robot or something like that... there is also a strange aura around him, an aura that seems to glow with a dark red glow that is almost purple or black, and it looks like a flame, like he is on fire with it. He throws some of the strange flame aura at me, I easily dodge it, but I want to see what is going on and I have the idea there is a lot going on here I cannot see. I make up a corny rhyme to serve as a spell to see what is hidden, "What is hidden will now be found, dispel illusions all around." The change that happens around me is dramatic, the entire setting has changed. While the place had been surreal, it had still been fairly bright and sunny. Now it changes into a dark version of that, looking much more desolate than before, and what I notice first is that there are actually strings going from <PERSON> up to some giant hand that is hovering over him, pulling the strings like some twisted puppet master. I am not sure what the thing is, but I know what I have to do, so I form Witchblade into a sword and jump into the air, it is actually more flying than jumping, and I cut through the strings that are connecting Malkus to the puppet master overhead. <PERSON> immediately falls to the ground, since there are now no strings holding him up, though the flaming aura remains around him. The strings are trying to mend themselves, but I am not going to allow enough time for that, I get quickly to the top of a ridge and look up from there to see a huge person standing up there, holding the broken strings and trying to manipulate them into reforming. As he sees me, the strings are redirected over at me, moving to wrap around me, maybe he thinks he can control me, but I cut them with Witchblade before he can even try. I use the song Master of Puppets to telepathically take control of his mind, and send his own strings to tie himself up, which is clearly pissing him off, it seems he likes to control others but gets mad when someone does it to him. He is cursing at me a lot, saying he is immortal, I tell him I really do not care if he is immortal, he is leaving here and not coming back. I make that a telepathic order, then I open a portal and throw him through into a void between worlds. He will eventually find his way back, but hopefully it will be a while. The scene around me instantly changes, and now I find I am in Masyaf again, <PERSON> is there, as are a bunch or Reptizars and a bunch of Assassins. <PERSON> is there, he says they are at peace now and having a feast to celebrate, come join the party. Instead of that, I wake up.
