In the Labyrinth: Nothing Is What It Seems
DISCLAIMER: Labyrinth or anything thereof in no way belongs to me
This is the product of "dream spillage" at 4 in the morning lol...can we say obsessed?? :)
**My eyes were closed as I peered through the mist,
I stepped where there was no ground.
Up ahead, I could see the dark Goblin Castle,
Where, behind, in the daylight, was the moon, crystal and round.**
Slowly I ran, as I walked quickly toward it, oblivious to all, my senses were reeling at the dangers that threatened to leave me at peace. Up the gray, stone stairs, climbing down, I heard a song in the silence.
I stepped through the open doors, which were tightly shut, and in the darkness of the light I saw nothing.
A quiet voice whispered kindly, yelling angrily my name of which I did not posses.
And I bravely approached, trembling, that dark black throne where the shadows failed to reach.
The Goblin King sat, as he stood by a clock. His hair flaying wildly in the breeze as it lay still about his face. The great being softly sat in his throne and stood before me, towering.
Upright, I bowed low in fear, not knowing the custom as he sadly stared, cruelly.
Not speaking a word, he told me this truth...
"A long time ago, just yesterday, you foolish, wise girl, called upon me to take you from the world you so hated, and now you wish to return to this place that you love."
His eyes, they did sparkle, the blue-greenness intoxicating. I began to sink to the surface of his charm and power.
Never stopping, he began again...
"You will play by my rules, making them up, yourself, along the way. You must first solve my Labyrinth within the 13 hours allowed... no sooner, but later. Lost... Then you may rejoice in sadness the return to your happy home, if I choose to let you go free.
If you fail, you will have won and remain Underground forever, not long at all."
His voice was a song without tune, but with rhyme.
I took one last glance, not really seeing the two eyes that make one.
Turning away, I went back
He was gone
Never to appear again
To return to torment me later.
And I began
At the End
