The Labyrinth: Another Tale



VII



"Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:

The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star,

Hath had elsewhere its setting,

And cometh from afar:

Not in entire forgetfulness,

And not in utter nakedness,

But trailing clouds of glory do we come....."

--William Wordsworth

Bryanna, Princess of the Tuatha De Danaan, and Queen of the Goblins, stood at the edge of the huge platform in the Escher room, staring into a clear crystal ball that she was threading between her hands. She watched her sisters for several more minutes. Then, she dropped the crystal, letting it shatter on the floor below.

"Good-bye,"she whispered before the crystal ball could crash to the floor. "Tha mo chridhe maille ruibh."

She hooked a strand of red-orange hair behind a pointed ear, and turned around. Jareth, with Heart'sAflame tucked snugly in his arms, waited for her. Bryanna smiled happily at him, and walked towards him; ready to start her new life.

Tha mo chridhe maille ruibhe: Gaelic; My heart is with you.



A/N: I hope that everyone who read this story enjoyed it! I just wanted to state one more time: I do not own Labyrinth.

And, if prompted by enough reviews, I may be inspired to write a sequel......*grins innocently*
