Soul Quest 3: Dream Quest

Soul Quest 3: Dream Quest

by Bud Lemire on May 12, 2004

The dark skies got darker, blackening into night

Bud made a comment, “Wish I had my flashlight”

“All life is about to end,” Nelak said with an evil tone

Out of her pocket, she pulled out some old bird’s bones

Angelica and Bud stepped back, as they noticed the change

The red glow in her eyes, Nelak was acting very strange

Bud noticed Angelica was in some sort of a trance

While off in the distance, Nelak did an unusual dance

He put his hands on Angelica’s shoulder, and her eyes opened wide

She whispered, “I’ve been in touch with the spirits on the inside”

Then out of nowhere came these coils of bright white light

They wrapped around Nelak, and they held her tight

“Patrick?” Bud asked Angelica as he started to smile

“Yes,” replied Angelica, “he’s been with us for awhile”

Bud asked, “Did he tell you of anything we can do?”

“He did,” she said, “but it’s going to be up to you”

“It seems,” she continued, “she’s had some trouble to sleep”

“And now she’s gone further, and went a little too deep”

“Spirits tell me you have the gift to enter one’s dream”

“And you guide souls to safety, strange as it seems”

“Yes, strange,” Bud responded, “I don’t remember them all, or what I do”

“But tell me dear Angelica, while I’m doing that, what about you?”

She replied, “I’ll be sending you energy, to help your soul get through”

She continued, “And Patrick and the spirits, will be helping us too”

“Now is the time!” Bud exclaimed, “Let’s save our friend!”

“Remember to limit,” Angelica added, “the time that you spend”

Then not long later, Bud had fallen fast asleep

Angelica took his hand in hers and started to weep

Bud found himself at some sort of carnival show

And started searching for Nelak, high and low

He had no idea, just where to start

Then suddenly, he felt her in his heart

A flicker of light, then caught his eye

“The House Of Mirrors, is where I got to try"

“But as I look in the mirror, I only see me”

“I wonder where Nelak, was going to be”

As he looked in the next mirror, his eyes showed red

“I’ve come to set her free!” is what he said

“You can’t scare me, I know no fear!”

Then he hit, and broke the mirror

Then he was in a darkened room, without any light

Faces appeared, and then disappeared from his sight

He knew the faces he saw, and knew what to do

“Face me you coward, I’m not scared of you!”

The faces appeared again, illusions of his own face

“I must free Nelak, from this horrible place!”

A message from Angelica, “Prepare to act”

Bud suddenly felt something, fall on his back

It was a red eyed Nelak, looking for a fight

His right hand took on, a bright white light

As he wrestled with her, he placed his right hand on her head

She stopped struggling and fighting, and seemed to relax instead

The redness in Nelak’s eyes, started to fade away

And the darkness of night, became the light of day

Bud picked up Nelak, from where she lay on the ground

And he noticed, she was starting to come around

“Where are we?” she asked, as she looked ahead

“What’s the last thing you remember?” was what he said

“I was wearing the necklace,” she replied, “but it got stuck”

“I took it off, and then it’s from there I don’t remember much”

"How do I get out of here?” he asked the skies

Angelica’s voice responded, “Just open your eyes”

Bud opened his eyes, and looked across the room

Angelica was holding Nelak, whistling a happy tune

Bud looked up at the sky, lit up by the sun

And whispered, “Thanks God, I owe you one”

I hope everyone likes the ending.
