Finding Crystal...

"I must be a Finder," Arnie told herself but still not fully believing even her own words.  Again she looked at the crystal in the box and shook her head from side to side.  It was then that she heard a voice in her head!

"You have proven yourself true to your friends," the voice told her.  As Arnie looked around to see who may be speaking, it did not take long for her to realize the voice was coming from the crystal!  "How can you speak?" she asked.

The crystal did not move or change, but Arnie again heard the voice in her head.  "I will only speak to you as you are the Finder.  Do not question your worth.  Your friends, all being good people, have their own abilities but they are not aligned with me.  Only by you first being a Borrower, could you be a true Finder."

Arnie glanced at the others and realized that none of them had heard the voice and they were still discussing how to start out in search of the Dream Weaver's cottage --- now that they decided the spoon was indeed the key. As she still watched them, she again heard the voice.  "I will tell you how to find the cottage, but first you must do something to protect yourself in the Dream world." 

"Dreams can be dangerous without some grounding.  Too many people have wandered in their dreams and have not returned back to the reality that is here.  You must be grounded if you are to lead your friends and bring them all back.  There is still a danger that one will be lost in the Dream world and will never return."

This surprised Arnie so much that she blurted out loud her response.  "What must I do?"  Awena turned her head towards Arnie, thinking she was listening to their conversation, and told her not to worry that the Sisters would provide the food and supplies they would need for such a long journey in search of the cottage.

Arnie was barely listening.  The words of the crystal telling her that one may be lost was making her not want to go in the first place. "I don't want to be responsible for others..." she mumbled to herself as she listened to the rest of the group discussing what supplies they would need for the journey.

The Realm of Wymsy is an original storyline by Shawn and Lesley Duthie.
