Version One
During the early years of the Dreamer's War, a merely awakened Dreamer known as Talik had entered a heated argument with a Dreamer of a differing antiquity. The other Dreamers grew angry with Talik as the debate continued. Soon the other Dreamers' anger consumed them & they sought to harm Talik. Talik feared for his life & for his Avatar, yet Talik did not want to harm his opponents. As the Dreamers advanced to attack, Talik quickly focused the matter of his Avatar &, to his surprise, shoved the attackers backwards. This was the first Push.
Version Two
This is a tale not of love and sadness, but of friendship of the most impossible type. A boy and a girl who are NOT lovers, they are best friends.
Altima was the dreamer responsible for learning how to push. It wasnt her fault... she was always a pushy child! Altima was on the very eve of her 17th dreamseason when she met Orani. They were opposites as like to each other as our sun and our moon. He was quiet and soft and liked to play on his flute, she was the first dreamer at age 5 to kill a bogrom and a shamblix at one blow. Yes they were very different...
One day, they were running throughtout Edgeward Host ( before the Great Loss ) and they were aiming their weak flamearts at each other, laughing and gossipping and laughing some more. Then, as we all know, IT had to happen... A very bad DarkMare named Tehthu dropped out of the sky next to them. What?! Tehthu? you ask? Yes, Tehthu, the worst and most powerful mare this side of the dream. This is the story of why he doesnt talk like a normal and proper mare anymore.
The story of the fight has been lost throughout history, and all we have left is fragments, but a few facts are known... At the moment he dropped near them, Altima kicked him in the back. Her friend ran to the portal screaming for her to go, but no! Altima was a warrior as all women of the dream were in those days...
The battle was long and lasted the time it takes for a dreamer to attempt to locate a lyran on the anerage day. At one pont during the battle, Altima drew her mighty GATESMASHER!!! and swung the blade right into the mares mouth. Tehthu bit down her on Altimas arm, and blood stained the ground... but he had accidently bit her blade, and his teeth on the left side of his face shattered instantly. Laughing, Altima threw a fireball into his mouth, blowing more of its teeth out ( it is believed that is why he uses dreamstrike now, he cannot eat that easily anymore )... then he began to throw dreamstrike around.
Her friend, ( who is very unimporant at this point ) was in the line of fire of one of the blasts. Altima, being a woman and naturally disposed towards sacrifices, tore her arm free, leaving parts of her arms behind in Tehthus mouth. She ran like the storms and threw herself in front of the blast. With one arm worthless, and the other one numb, she prepared to vanish for her freind.
All she wanted to do was push it back a little, so it would hit the ornament near them... then the battle of powers was decided, and the dreamstrike was pushed back against Tehthu who was forced to flee back to Chaos, and breed more evil children.
Altima, now called the girl of the Pushing Single Arm, carried her friend, who had fainted, back to the threshold. She decided, that thought he was worthless, hey! she could use a good man in the kitchen cooking ( which is how our tradition of women first began ). So they got married, had one child who was called Ja'Toc... and he wrestled with Tehthus daughter Gobolos, until they both swore to never harm each other.
But that is another story for another day.
