Sweet revenge
Chapter 24: Blindness
"What's taking so long?" thought Jareth.
"It's not like I can run to see what's going on."
A few minutes later, Hoogle, with the help of at least 20 goblins, were transporting Sarah on their shoulders. They carefully laid Sarah on the floor next to Jareth. Hoogle saluted his Majesty to indicate that his task was done.
"Where is HOOGLE?" screamed Jareth.
Hoogle was really confused. He was right in front of Jareth. What was going on?
"Er, yer majesty I'm right here, in front of ya!" answered Hoogle.
Jareth jumped at the voice of Hoogle.
"Where is Sarah?" asked Jareth.
"Can't ya see? She's right there!" answered Hoogle, bewildered.
"NO, I CAN'T SEE!" screamed Jareth.
"What hap…?" started Hoogle.
"Daliusar attacked me. He attacked my eyes and now I can't see. The Drakvons chased me in the forest near the North Lake…."
"The North Lake? What were ya doing there, yer majesty???" interrupted Hoogle.
"Sarah fell in the Bog. She smelled like a death fish. Oh, and she was hurt so I had to take her to the lake."
"The Drakvon King surprised and attacked me." Continued Jareth.
"I need to see how Sarah's doing"
"The healer came in 5 minutes after she appeared in the throne room. He healed her almost completely. She is still unconscious" Answered Draegon.
"Draegon? I didn't……see…….hear you." Said Jareth in a rather sad tone.
"It's true then…you are blind…."
"……at least you are not dead…" Draegon was shocked to see Jareth like that.
He looked miserable. He also looked like he needed the healer.
Draegon asked Hoogle to bring the healer back. He then led Jareth to his bedroom to rest. He asked the servants to prepare him for a healing session. Draegon took Sarah in his arms. He laid her in a bed, in a bedroom close to Jareth's.
For most of the night, screams were coming out of Jareth's bedroom. It was not easy to heal his sunburns. The pain was excruciating. As for his eyes, only time could tell if the treatment helped.
When Jareth woke up in the morning, he had bandages over his eyes and chest. He was confused and feverish. He kept asking if Sarah was alive, if she was hurt….if she was ok.
Sarah was still unconscious. The only person who was able to wake her up was Jareth; as he was the last one to magically put her unconscious. Jareth, who was very weak, was not able produce a crystal for days.
After 4 days of resting, Jareth was feeling better. It was time to take off his bandages.
The healer took off the bandages that were covering Jareth's eyes first.
When they were finally off, Jareth took some time to open his eyes. He was afraid to know.
When he opened his eyes, he saw nothing. It was pitch back.
The anticipation on the healer's face quickly vanished. He buried his face in his hands and was shaking his head. His worse fears were confirmed.
"I CAN'T SEE!" Screamed Jareth.
"I know Jareth. I'm sorry. You have a blindness cause by a powerful curse. The only way to get rid of it is to kill the one who did this to you." Answered Hankel the healer.
"HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KILL SOMEONE WHEN I CAN'T SEE WHERE MY OWN HANDS ARE?" Screamed Jareth, who was quickly panicking.
"I don't know Jareth…I don't know….I'm very sorry…I did the best I could." Answered Hankel, as he was leaving the bedroom.
Jareth stayed in his bed for hours. He eventually fell asleep….demolished.
