Dream: The Wrath of the Statues

Weird dream from last night. I wasn't actually in it. Dream starts and a man has come home from a long journey. He has discovered an ancient temple and nobody believes him because the temple is in Antarctica. Everybody thinks the cold had an effect on his mind and he is then discredited. He starts to walk home and is stopped by a boy about 10 years old. The boy heard of this temple and wants to see it. The man knows he shouldn't but he agrees to take the kid on the return journey to the temple.

Fast forward and the man and boy are standing on a very snowy mountain. They have to reach the top of the mountain to see the temple. The reached the top and the man, waves his arm like he's a price is right model showing prizes. Before them is a valley with lots of trees and grass, very green. In the center of the valley, are structures but you can't make them out because of the tall trees blocking them.

The boy says "Finally." But the man didn't hear him. He explains to the boy that to get down there is very tricky and the boy is to do everything he does. The man jumps down and grabs a nearby vine. He swings to what might be a natural ladder but the rungs of the ladder are 10 feet apart. The man grabs the top rung of the ladder and waits for the boy. The boy easily follows him like he's done it before. Together, the two release their hands and drop to the rung below them. They continue this until they reach the valley floor.

There's a path now before them, and they walk down it. Even though the man has seen it before, he gawks at all the greenery around him and the temperature is comfortable too. They reach a huge stone building and walk through the door. Inside are what look like statues that are at least 20 feet tall. The boy quietly stands beside the man as the man starts talking about the statues.

Suddenly, a voice yells in front of them, "Silence! I told you never to return!" The man looks for the source of the voice and see's one of the statues, a woman, looking at him and she's pissed. "What is the meaning of this?" She asks.

"I tried to tell people of this place but nobody believed me except for this boy." The man replies. "I had to show him it was real."

The woman statue bends down (you can hear the stone she's made of grinding as she bends) and her face is inches away from the boy who is grinning madly. Suddenly, the woman stands up tall and starts waving her hands in front of her, an energy ball of lightning is forming between her hands. The man stands between her and the boy.

"Wait! He's just a boy, he means no harm." He replies.

"That is no boy. That is our long lost brother. He must die." She says as another hand from another statue, grabs the man by the back of his shirt and moves him out of the way.

"I came to rejoin you." The boy finally says to the statues. He turns to the man, "I am sorry for misleading you but I had to find out if you were a crackpot or if you really found my home."

"You were banished a millennia ago, brother. Why return now?" The woman says.

I can hear the boy and the statues talking but I can't remember what was said. I do remember an energy ball narrowly missing the boy. This is where the dream turns into another one that has nothing to do with the statue dream. I wish I found out how it ended but unless the dream continues tonight, I'll never know the ending.
