Cat and Lindsay climbed up the stairs to the next level. This time, the stairs were decorated with multi-coloured streamers and flags, the colours bright and clashing.
Lindsay was strangely quiet. Looking back Cat saw Lindsay looking around wide-eyed, obviously slightly in shock. Cat turned back, offering a hand. "Come on." She said, kindly. "We did good." Lindsay gave her a strange look and walked past her, ignoring her hand. Cat shrugged. "Well, I tried!" She thought.

The bookshelves were also decorated in the strange, colourful scraps. Bunting and streamers trailed from the shelves. Cat walked over to the nearest display.
"Lindsay, can you help me? We're probably looking for another riddle, so check for pieces of paper decorated like the one in the den."
"What, like this one?"
Cat turned round to see Lindsay holding a card.
"Yes, exactly like that!"
Cat rushed over. "What's it say?"

They read the note:
Like a bird I sing,
Yet I cannot fly.
But the music I bring,
None can deny.

Silver and thin,
I fit in your hand.
My voice is gentle,
But it's spell can be grand.

"What the heck?" Cat exclaimed. "Any idea what that means?"
Lindsay gave her an evil look. "How the heck should I know? Your genius hero girl! You should be able to work it out! You always have the answer, don't you!"
And she walked of behind the shelves.
Cat was shocked. Yeah, she and Lindsay never got along, but what the heck was that about?

Guess the riddle, get a dedication. This one I kind of made up myself, since I couldn't find one I liked, which means it may be a little more difficult, so im gonna be a little less strict on how accurate the answer has to be. Closest wins!
