First I want to thank my reviewers niki92286 and Indigo Tantarian. Your kind reviews really made my day. And since Indigo requested that I write more I'm back again with another poem inspired by Shadi's meeting with the spirit of the puzzle. This one's dedicated to Indigo who told me she's a big Shadi fan. Hope you enjoy this one.

An Unwanted Guest
By Yami Yue
Through the darkness and the gloom
I step into the spirit's cold and darkened room
I know I am unwanted here
Still I will show no fear
I must play this spirit's game and win
If I'm to learn the power this item holds within
Countless doors as far as the eye can see
I begin the task the spirit has set before me
Which door could it be
This boy's soul seeks to confuse me
Still the puzzle's secret I must know
Through the labyrinth I go
I grasp the handle and then open the first door
I'm thrown back as something big crashes to the floor
No! it's a trap, but there's no turning back
I must continue to gain the knowledge I lack
I choose another door and try again
Ah! There he is. Did I find it? Did I win?
No this is a trap! I grasp a brick as I fall through the floor
If I fall into the abyss, in this boy's soul I'll be lost forevermore
"Shall I push you in ?" he asks, looking down on me
I look back up at him clinging to the brick desperately
To my surprise he reaches out his hand to save me from my plight
"My hand isn't a trap." He tells me as he grasps my hand "It's alright"
"I am in your debt" I tell him once I'm back on solid ground
It seems I haven't lost the game I've actually won this round
This is only the beginning he tells me, we shall meet again
Yes, you're right spirit of the puzzle, so farewell until then
