Free Soul Seers Complete Set by Rene Folsom Page A

my room. I heard his footsteps pause near the foot of my
bed, mere inches from where I sat at the edge. His breathing was deep and other
than the light inhale and exhale of his breath, he stayed silent for what
seemed like eternity.
    “That is stunning,” he whispered,
finally breaking the silence as he stood beside me. I just nodded my agreement.
“I had no idea you could see so much detail.”
    “Well, last night’s dream was…
different. Almost like it really happened and I was reliving it. Yet, I was
riding a horse. I’ve never ridden a horse before in my life. So, I have no idea
why it seemed so lifelike,” I rambled.
    “It is beautiful. She is
beautiful. You should frame this one,” he said before finally sitting next to
me on my bed. He looked away from my drawing and shook his head lightly, as if
to clear his mind of something. “Anyway, I am figuring you probably want to
know the name of the woman I spoke about at dinner. Who just so happens to look
eerily similar to the girl you dream about every night,” he said wile crooking
his thumb in the direction of my easel.
    “Really? Do you think they could
be related?” I exclaimed. I tried not to get excited. I knew this was a long
shot. Yet, I couldn’t help myself. Anticipation began to pump through my veins
like a drug being pushed by my overzealous heart.
    “I am not sure,” he said while
holding his hands up in defense, like he didn’t want to be caught making a
mistake. “But if my instincts mean anything, I would say they might be mother
and daughter. However, I want you to let me handle this. I am the one who knows
Delphina. I would like to make contact with her and nonchalantly ask if she has
any children.”
    “Delphina,” I repeated with barely
a whisper. Wow. My heart literally stopped as the name rolled off my tongue.
“You’re right. That is a pretty name.”
    “Delphina Hugh. She is a soul
seer, Jonah. So this connection you have may actually be more than we
anticipated.”
    His words echoed in my head as if
they weren’t really spoken from his lips. She’s
a soul seer.
    “What? You mean to tell me that
the woman I’ve been dreaming about all these years might be a soul seer’s
daughter? What are the odds, Dad?” I nearly screeched. Now I was beyond
excited. My heart was practically manic as it beat wildly in my chest.
    Overwhelmed with hope, I turned
and hugged my father tight. I may be twenty-four, but I was not embarrassed to
show my appreciation toward my family. They were always there to support me and
this moment was no exception.
    “Just let me handle it from here,
ok? I will see if I can find her, I promise,” he said as he held my shoulders
at arm’s length, looking into my eyes as he spoke. “What do you have planned
tomorrow?”
    “Nothing. Well, I had a meeting
with the museum director in the morning, but decided to postpone it until late
in the afternoon, so I can have one of the frogs in hand when I present the
idea of amethyst eyes. She is a very visual person. So, she is open to waiting
until I have something to show her.”
    “Okay,” he said as he let go and
looked at my drawing once more. “I will call or text you if I find anything
out.”
    My dad stood and made his way to
my door before I stopped him by saying, “Hey, Dad?” He looked back at me
through the crack of the door as I continued and said, “Thanks. I really appreciate
you being there for me.”
    “You are welcome, son,” he said as
he shut my bedroom door and left me smiling as hope finally filled my soul.

Chapter Five
    The nighttime sky was filled with wonder as the stars
twinkled brighter than I have ever experienced in my life. This is it. This is
Mauna Kea. I remember researching this place when I first started dreaming
about her. The very first night she appeared in my dream, she had stars in her
eyes, like a reflection of the most brilliant star field. Because of that
vision, I was determined to learn everything about
