Chapter 4 "Get Up!!!"

I slept in the deep forest that night and it was a very rare good nights sleep.  No racing thoughts or tormenting dreams. The Dark Angels and I would sing the Invisible song several times in order to get it just right. 

Then, we would package our Masterpiece and place it in the Music Vault. Once inside the vault, we need only to have pressed the play button to have the song played for us throughout the entire night.  I saw many a tear shed that night. Both by the dark angels and by me.


I awoke to find the dark angels huddled around me, and when they approached they asked for only one thing.  I noticed that they had stopped playing the recording by this time. When I asked why the Music had stopped, they all stated that they wished I would sing the song live.

Most of the dark angels, except the severely shy ones, came who came up to me had but one request but it seemed more like a plea for Internal and External Peace.  Each one cried out "Sing For Me...My Angel of Music...Sing For Me!!!"

When I began to play the song, some of the dark angels began to sob as though they had been released from a terrible dream that was all too real. Others sat along the ground and crossed their legs while they sang along with me. A few simply stood erect with their heads bowed.

I, nor the dark angels gathered round me never knew the source of the daylight hours of which there were only three, but everyone seemed well rested and ready to take control of their lives.

Everyone seemed to like the song "Get Up" as a signal to begin their fulfilling the days ahead.  In order to corral just the right tempo, I had to amplify the guitar and find just the right companion for my simple little lyric.

The lyrics and the guitar accompanying them came together in a matter of minutes, so both myself and the dark angels knew we were on to something.  While playing the song, some angels began to march in place, others began to jog in circles, while some even danced to the Music.

I explained to the dark angels that I had some work to be done for my father on the eastern boundary of the kingdom. It took several hours to reach the area so I explained that I was not sure that I would make it back to the deep forest by nightfall.

Michael, who appeared to be the spokesman for the gathering asked: What shall we do about the Music? Do we continue to play the three songs that have been written and played before, or should we sit here in silence and await your return.

I then replied: Music is a gift Michael. It is never to be sold nor soiled. One cannot buy Music...It can only be given away.  I now give all of the dark angels who seek shelter here in The Bleak Forest the creative power of Music.






You have access to all things within The Bleak Forest, including all manner of trees and vegetation, horse  manes, and all silver and bronze plates and ornaments. You may use the Central Furnace inside the deep forest to fashion any Musical Instrument you choose.


You may not however harm nor kill any living thing and while making your masterpiece you must avoid the city. For now, Music is only allowed within the deep forest.


I leave you now with a purpose and a mission.  If you should lose site of your heart while I am gone then just search for and find the melodies that are in your heart.


I started my mission to the eastern boundary of the kingdom very excited and filled with anticipation of just what I could create.  A gate may seem like a minor task for anyone else in the kingdom, but for me this was the single most important endeavor I had ever taken.


To show my resolve towards pleasing my father, I chose not to ride Majesty. Instead we walked beside each other and Majesty seemed to adjust his gate to accompany my "Get Up" reprise.
