Chapter 3: Staff

Brian got up and looked around. He was laying on his bed. Why? Last he knew,
he’d been in the Grand Abbott’s room. He got up and picked up his staff and walked out.
Charlotte, one of the kitchen ladies was waiting outside.
“Ah, laddie, I see your awake,” she said “ever since you collapsed in front of the
Grand Abbott, we’ve been worryin’ about you.”
“What?” Brian asked, perplexed.
“You were talking to the Grand Abbott, and collapsed.”
“Oh. Well, I think I’ll go take a walk to the village. Maybe that would help me.”
“Okay, laddie. Be back before nightfall!”
So Brian went for a walk and to think.
“Hmmm.....” He thought. “Whenever I was in the dream, I didn’t have my staff.”
he walked to the stable and stroked the horse.
“Neigh-gh-gh-gh-gh!!!” The horse shrieked, knocking the staff out of Brian’s
hand.
“That’s it! Thanks Horse!” Brian exclaimed.
“Neigh.”
“If I’m not holding my staff when I start dreaming, then I don’t have it in the
dream!”
Brian ran as fast as he could back to the monastery and to the kitchen.
“Charlotte, could you get me some twine? I need some soon!” Brian exclaimed as
he ran in.
“All right, laddie, I’ll get some.” she said.
Brian promptly thanked her and proceeded out the room and to his room.
“This ought to keep this staff in my hand.” thought Brian as he used the tied the
staff to his hand with the twine.
“Okay, now I’m rea-ea-eaaaaaaaa...”
Again Brian was on the floor.
