The Rogue Pawn's Search

Moulin traveled with the trash-lady and gave up any chance of finding peace. She would never find a home in Labyrinth or Moraine and the chances of her even escaping Labyrinth was a large place and Mizumi would never give up looking for her and not out of love either.
"I want to rest now…" Moulin sat down on a three legged stool. It had once had a fourth, but it was no wonder it was broken and where it was.
"Yes, yes… You can rest my dear. Take all the time you need." Ignoring the old woman as she rummaged through old and worn wreckage of a decadent past, Moulin eyed the castle.
'I need to figure out what I am going to do… I won't give myself up. I won't cease to exist just because Mizumi wants it… poor Drumlin…So if I can't escape Mizumi, I need to find another way… I need a way out of this… think.'
As much as she urged herself, nothing came to mind other than she needed to at least get out of the city. Already she had to dodge Mizumi's guards as they filed into place.

Labyrinth Begins To Unite

Hours away and out of sight from the issues at the castle beyond the goblin city, a single creature lifts giant rocks and sets them back down however it deems fit before moving out of sight altogether.
"Oh, now where did he go?" Hoggle sticks his head out slight to get a better view when he is lifted clean of his feet. "Let me go, let me go, let me go! I never hurt no one!" In a fit of cowardly fright, Hoggle thrashes wildly to escape the clutches of the beast. "I'm a friend, I'm a friend!"
"Friend?" Instantly Hoggle ends his feeble attempts and breaths out a sigh of relief. "Ludo friend!"
"Yes, yes. Now put me down!" Now that his feet were firming planted back on the ground, Hoggle looks up while in the shadow of the giant form of Ludo; friend of the rocks, a previous conspirator against Jareth and most importantly, Hoggle's friend. "There. Now… we have work to do. Sarah has come back and needs our help. You going to helps us or not?" Ludo reached down and lifted Hoggle of the ground and onto his shoulder.
"Ludo friend! Sarah, Hoggle and brother. Friend…"
