huh. dreams. where the frell do they come from?
Near as I can remember, sword and sorcery era... Two opposing armies, one led by a woman, the other by a man. Both leaders pretty much want peace, but they're going through the motions of preparing for war.
Then the scout from the chick's side gets captured.
Now, this is ok, 'cause the guy on the other side wants peace. He just has the scout chained up as an example, and people throw things at him, and... then the lieutenant from the chick's side decides he wants a war.
This is where the dream gets weird. The first version of events, lieutenant wacko gets one of his men to sneak through to the enemy side and brutally murder scout-boy, then he has men he trusts start raping and pillaging the local populace to start the war. There's some sort of magic involved. And swords. Lots of swords, and heads getting chopped off.
And then everything rewinds, and--leader-chick realizes what's going on and tries to stop it. lt. wacko has his trusted men go to her family's homestead/farm and torture and murder them, bringing their heads back.
Meanwhile, Sharon rescues Helo the luckless scout, and there's magic involved with moving the entire company. Then its leader-chick, Sharon, Helo, and Caprica versus... Actually, I'm not sure. He never got a name. But lt. wacko still loses, and peace is restored. hurrah.
Sword. Sorcery. Cylons. Never saw that last coming, m'self.
