anything else I talk about.

"Could you follow me please?" he said to June, escorting her out of the main chamber to see if she could learn magic.
I just stood there and began to concentrate. I wasn't going to bring a person from earth; I was going to bring my muse from my mind. I concentrated on my muse, a complete look alike of my black cat with a couple of reddish-brown stripes on each side, Pluto, except he could talk as my muse. Suddenly Pluto appeared, but when he spoke I knew it was my muse, also called Pluto.
"How did I know you would pull me out?" Pluto asked.
"Because you are my creative genius." I said. We shared a fully psychic link, but Pluto apparently preferred to talk, and so did I.
"Well," Pluto began slyly. "Are you going to show her the place any time soon?"
"Don't ask about things on that line, or I will turn you into a spork, and not a quality one either." I said
"Gulp." Pluto said rolling his eyes.
Just then, a small, red-winged blackbird flew into the chamber. Pluto poised himself to pounce, but I dropped a cage over him just before he did. He hissed at me, as the blackbird landed not two feet away from him. Then it became June; she pushed her hair over her shoulder, and peered closely at Pluto.
"Quite a ferocious cat you have there." she said to me.
"Hey," Pluto yelled, making June jump. "I'm not a cat, I'm a muse."
"Sorry," She said, and turned to me. "Even if this is all the Labyrinth has to offer, then I could stay here almost forever."
"There's more," I said. "Follow me."
I became a raven, and hopped onto the western windowsill. June stood next to me as her now trademark red-winged blackbird. We took off and soared over the Labyrinth.
After a couple minutes, I dipped, and landed on a low wall. June followed closely, When we were both ourselves, I indicated to her to step off the side of the wall. She did so and gasped, I dropped next to her. The sky was devoid of light, except for the millions of stars that shone through.
"The realm of eternal night," I said to her. "Never does a ray of light penetrate it. From the outside, it appears to not exist." We sat there, June saying how brilliant it was; I was reading by the starlight. Only here was it possible to do so. Eventually I stopped reading, and looked up into the sky. "Into the light of a dark black night." I murmured.
"What?" June asked.
"Oh," I said. "Just something from one of my favorite songs, The stars are the light of this dark, black night."
June leaned against the wall, and laid her head on my shoulder. "Could you sing it please?"
I nodded, and began:
"Blackbird singing in the dead of night,
Take these broken wings and learn to fly.
All your life,
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
"Blackbird singing in the dead of night,
Take these sunken eyes,
And learn to see.
All your life,
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.
"Blackbird,
Fly.
Blackbird,
Fly.
Into the light of a dark black night.
"Blackbird singing in the dead of night,
Take these broken wings and learn to fly.
All your life,
You were only waiting for this moment to arise,
You were only waiting for this moment to arise,
You were only waiting,
For this moment to arise" (1)
"Nice." June muttered, her head resting a little heavier on my arm.
"Yea." I said, my eyelids drooping.
*** Author: It's actually kind of funny, I had originally written this to be the second half of chapter three, but since you all love it so, I felt it would be better to cut it where I did.
Anyway, I'm going to have to get some help for my next few chapters probably, and if you send me an idea, and it doesn't show up, don't take it personally, I just couldn't make it fit, or it just wouldn't work. I won't tell you which it is because it is more polite that way.
