once upon a dream
I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream // I know you, that look in your eyes is so familiar a gleam // And I know it's true that visions are seldom all they seem // But if I know you, I know what you'll do // You'll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream
It's been made clear that the trick to getting the relic is not through logic, but only luck. As the petals come crashing down and turn into a blood red river, it's luck that is on Lucinda's side. For a moment, red is all she sees and she wonders if she's passed out, or if this had all been a dream.
She blinks a few times and finally the red disappears. Many that had surrounded her along the path towards the relic had also disappeared. The once large group of strangers is now down to a handful and the woman hopes that this is the end. When she set foot on this path in the first place, she hadn't been intending to be stuck within this rabbit hole of illusions. Normally she's extremely patient, but her patience is beginning to wear thin.
From the sand erupts another snake which guards the relic. All around them the island is collapsing and cracking. It reminds her of the eruption that caused the island to come into being in the first place, only they are now in the thick of it. Were they doomed to fall? Perhaps the relic itself is an illusion.
But Lucinda does not quit; she's too good for that. Her determination makes her go into a gallop towards the relic with her staff held out in front of her. She feels as if she is going back into battle and perhaps that is exactly what she is about to do. This entire ordeal has been unpredictable, so there is no telling what the snake will do to them. Behind the creature shines the relic, mocking the hunters once again. It seems much closer, but yet so far. At this point, she had to win for her own sanity.
