They were sitting side by side on a golden riverbank. An autumn crisp hung in the air around them.
"Sarah...," Hoggle cleared his throat, looking over at her.
"Hm?"
"I made you somethin'."
Sarah flashed him that shrewd pretty smile of hers, and it caused Hoggle go mildly pink in the face. "What is it?"
"Here." The dwarf pulled out a bracelet from his pouch of jewels, and handed it to Sarah. It was nothing but a strand of wire that threaded blue and green glossy pebbles together. The idea, however, was too sweet to even decline.
Hoggle shrugged, "I know it ain't as good as plastic, but..."
"I adore it, Hoggle!" Sarah chuckled at the statement. "Thank you. This is a wonderful gift."
She slid the gift onto her wrist and examined it a moment more. She didn't need to say anything, but she thought Hoggle's pebbles looked fairly pleasent next to the classic glistening crystal charm bracelet she'd already been wearing.
~ I would love to continue this collection for a little bit longer (perhaps to reach 50 even chapters), but creative Labyrinth scenarios have been running thin in my mind recently. Therefore, if any reader would like to see a certain event or situation involving the characters play out soon, they are welcome to leave me a basic idea in a review, or can PM me if it's more personal. I will take a suggestion, but still make the story my own.
I have never offered this before with any story of mine, though I thought I'd simply give it a try.
