6) It's All Junk

Please be sure to read the note I put below the chapter! You won't regret it!!

Raven stumbled down a pathway, nearly tumbling down. She was exhausted. As Jareth gazed through the crystal, he felt horrid for making her do this. But she wanted to, so he was not completely at fault. He just felt bad that she was doing this to herself.

"Sire!" A goblin interrupted. "There are two hours left on the clock, and she is at the Junkyard-!"

"He knows that, Äelst!"

"I don't read minds, boghead!"

"Who said you did?"

"Not me, that's for damn sure!"

"Quiet!" Jareth snapped. "She's slipped and fallen..." He mumbled. The Goblin King could almost hear his heart crack from seeing the exhaustion of the girl. Much of the garbage in the Junkyard was dirty, he only hoped she hadn't cut herself, as see could get infected and sick.

The Goblin King stood up and wandered to a window, leaving the child to play with his goblin subjects.

The window overlooked the Goblin City and further, and the king could see the girl hop over the waste people had left behind. Not exactly left behind, his goblins have the tendency to hoard objects they find thrilling. Jareth just didn't care, he saw the Junkyard as an obstacle for his runners to become stuck in.

Jareth leapt off the edge of the window and shifted into a white barn owl, soaring over the kingdom and straight toward the girl he so desired to reach him. He landed just a few feet in front of her, watching Raven's progress as she neared him.

"You again!" She seethed. "Get out of my way, you damned Fae!" Her voice cracked. Raven whipped past him, leaving the Goblin King almost speechless.

He did not argue back, but instead watched her. She was tired, hungry. He had no quarrel with the girl who was in her current state of mind.

All he did was watch, follow her through the junk. He did nothing to keep her from moving forward. He silently wanted her to win.

Okay. Goblins. Look what I did today.

There's a Jim Henson exhibit here in Seattle and I went today, and I went straight to the Labyrinth area and found the outfits David and Jennifer wore!! There's also the items from Sarah's desk!

Yes. These are the real things. I also have footage which I've posted on my Instagram accounts Space.Invader.Bowie and Space.Invader.Raven! I even took a selfie with the outfits.

I didn't have any spending money for the Jim Henson shop, and they had TONS of Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal merch!! I'm so angRY! I'm sure to be back at that exhibit many more times this year, believe me.

Anyhoo, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Please don't forget to leave a vote, comment and share!
