Upon Silver Wings
Chapter 1
Sara lay down upon her bed as a deep sigh escaped her lungs. It had been years since she had saved her brother Toby from the dark hands of the Goblin King. That was one particular adventure that is not easily forgotten. Her still long dark brown cascades shone in the candlelight as today's journey was coming to an utter close. Silence gripped her being, but with gentle hands.
"Strange that I still feel this way. I was only thirteen at the time and had beaten a sorcerer much older than I. Now that I'm nineteen, the memories still haunt me." She said to no one in particular. Also, she had not seen her friends that had helped her in the battle to get back her brother in over a year. Sara knew she needed to speak with them once more. Ludo, Hoggle, Sir Didimus, come back to me. She prayed.
"Ugh, Sara." She heard the goblin whisper. Sara turned to find only Hoggle standing next to her bed.
"Hoggle!" Sara embraced her friend, but found him unresponsive to her affection. "Hoggle, what's wrong?"
"Nothing really. Ludo and Sir Didimus, they couldn't come."
"Why? They never didn't come before."
"Wow, Sara, you sure have grown in a year." Hoggle said, quickly changing the subject.
"Answer my question."
"Well, a darkness is hurting our world. I can't explain it. Nothing like this ever happened when Jereth was in rule. I think it's because he left and he was the one who created us all. I'm not sure." There, he was cut short by his thoughts. Sara just gawked at him, utterly dumfounded.
"Then, I have to find him. Find my opponent I had prevailed over so long ago."
"I remember that well, that day you beat him."
"Yea I know." Hoggle nodded.
"You said to him, 'Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered. I have fought my way to the castle, beyond the Goblin City, For my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom is as great.' I can't seem to remember the rest."
"You have no power over me."
"That's it."
"That was a strange day."
"It was."
"And now, I must do it again." Sara whispered and turned to find Hoggle gone. She sighed once more.
"Who are you talking to?" Asked a boyish voice. Sara turned to see Toby standing in the doorway. Toby, just turned seven, gawked at her with his wide blue eyes.
"No one. Don't worry, Toby." Then, the little boy left without another word. Sara's gaze fell to the floor. Was the war between her and Jereth beginning again, or was another opponent coming up to face her?
