Jareth: Where is she? She'd supposed to write her little author comments here! *Crosses his arms*
*Claire bursts into her room and chucks her 50-pound backpack on the bed* I HATE school. *looks up and notices Jareth*
Claire: *smirks and curtseys* And what do I owe the pleasure of your presence your Royal Tightness?
Jareth: Why are all the listians obsessed with my tights?
Claire: *snickers* Because they're tight?
Jareth: Just get on with the story for Undeground's sake!
Claire: *laughs* Aw, is this a touchy topic?
Jareth: ARG! *zaps himself away leaving a HUGE pile of glitter in the middle of her room*
Claire: Damn. *picks up broom and pan* All right… on with the story…while I try to calm His Royal Tightness into coming back but before I do I want to thank my best friends Cherry and Candy aka Alisa Perne aka Sita from listening to me every time I talk about Labyrinth.
Disclaimer: *Bursts into tears* WAAAAAAAA! I don't own the labyrinth. I also don't own Jaden, which is own by the brilliant Spider Girl who thought of him first… Shucks. Oh by the way- if anyone wants to use the character of Jaden please ask her before using him. Thanks- I wouldn't want to give a bad impression. And yes, there is a chance he may make a guest appearance.
Chapter Four: Training
"I present to you, the wall maze- where we will start your training," Celeste said with a grand sweep of her arms. "Now I want you to close your eyes," Sarah looked at Celeste suspiciously. "Trust me," Celeste said with a comforting smile. Sarah sighed and closed her eyes. Celeste lightly picked up both of Sarah's hands and rested each one on her temples. Celeste started to take Sarah's middle finger and index finger and rotated backward in a similar fashion to what a person would do to soothe a headache away. She let go of Sarah's hands and they kept rotating.
"Now," Sarah said in a low, humming voice. "I want you to concentrate on the magic, on its pure essence. You want to see that magic- you want to *see* the spark of magic stand out like a sore thumb. See the illusion."
When Celeste finished speaking Sarah's eyes shot open. Her pupils dilated to the fullest then receded until they where back to normal size. Sarah looked around, her mouth open in shock. She could see every opening; they were all glowing red!
"Better?" Celeste said, humor clear in her voice.
"Very…" Sarah whispered her voice filled with awe. "I can see every opening!" Sarah turned to walk in a random opening but Celeste arm shot out and grabbed hers in a vice-like grip.
"You might not want to do that. Only two of these openings actually lead to the castle. That one," Celeste said, pointing to the opening, "Goes straight into the desert of eternity. Not pleasant," Sarah nodded to show her understanding. "We have to go quickly- come- this way." Celeste turned right and Sarah and the others trailed behind. Sarah noticed an opening a couple of yards away that was glittering brightly and without a second thought ran to it. 'It's the same opening I used last time!' thought Sarah in amazement.
"Yes it is, Sarah. But you turned the wrong way," Celeste said, coming to a rest beside her.
"What do you mean by that?" Sarah questioned.
"If you hadn't listened to the worm and kept going left you would have gone straight to the castle," Celeste replied, smiling at Sarah's shocked look. "But- we aren't taking that opening, we have things to do in the Labyrinth," Celeste smiles and takes Sarah's hand walked into the opening and turned right.
"The stone maze," Sarah stated.
"Yes. This is where you will get you're second lesson. Here you will learn to summon a crystal and use it to see others, talk to them through it, and teleport."
"Awesome. I'll really be able to do that?" Sarah questioned with a hint of disbelief.
Celeste giggled lightly, "Of course. What would be the use of lying? Now, are you ready?"
"Yes, indeedy!"
Celeste smiled at the young woman's determination. "Wonderful, now first you must summon a crystal. Hold open your palm and close your eyes, picturing the crystal in your hand."
Sarah closed her eyes and did so. She pictured the crystal that the cruel, arrogant, incredibly sexy, Hey! Where did that come from! Sarah mentally slapped herself, Goblin King had offered her almost 13 years ago. And suddenly she felt weight in the hand she was holding out. Her eyes fluttered open to see that the weight was a crystal. A smile tugged at her lips. 'I did it!' she thought, dazed.
"Now will it away," Celeste said as if it were the easiest thing in the world. She saw Sarah's confused expression and further explained. "Just picture it dissolving in your hand."
Sarah nodded and closed her eyes. Willing it away, Sarah felt something-cool slip through her fingers. Sarah's eyes shot open. "I… I… I did it! I actually did it!" Sarah said, staring at the white glitter trickling through her fingers in awe and shock.
"Yes," Celeste said, breaking Sarah's revere. "But that's the easy part. Now wander away," Celeste words only earned her a questioning look from Sarah. "Don't doubt me- now scat."
Sarah shrugged and started down a nearby path, about twenty turns later a voice stopped her- it was Celeste's.
"Now summon up another crystal and picture us." Sarah summoned up a crystal and focused on the crystal while she picture Celeste and all her underground friends. A shocked gasp escaped her lips as she saw Celeste looking into a crystal with a proud smile on her face, Hoggle looking over her shoulder (so to speak), Ludo playing with his long ears, and Didymus talking to Ambrosious. Now," Celeste's voice said again, echoing around her. "Talk to us as if we where beside you."
"Can you hear me clearly?" Sarah said.
"Crystal clear!" chuckled Celeste. "Hold on a second."
Sarah watched as Celeste disappeared, a little frightened. Imagine her shock when a gloved hand tapped her shoulder. She jumped a foot in the air and had to choke back a scream. 'OMG it's Jareth! He found me all alone! Shit! Shit!' Sarah thought, panicking. Her fears dissipated as a female giggle filled the air.
"It's just me, Sarah." Celeste said, still giggling. Sarah whirled around to see Celeste standing there, hand pressed lightly to her mouth to hold back the giggles.
"Very funny! Sarah said, hands on hips.
Oh, yes. She'll make a great queen, mused Celeste. "Okay, okay. This is your last lesson in the stone maze. I want you to transport us back to the others. Just concentrate on your goal."
Sarah cooled down and nodded. Taking a deep breath, she started to think. 'I can do this. Celeste and I are next to Ludo, Sir Didymus, and Hoggle in the stone maze where I left them' Sarah opened her eyes when she heard cheering coming from all her friends who where standing where she left them. "Wow," Sarah whispered, her voice picking up volume. "That was a piece- er - easier than I thought."
Celeste smiled and formed a crystal, "New game board- ready?" Celeste said.
"Of course! Lets go!"
In a flash of light, Celeste disappeared, all her friends coming along for the ride. They reappeared in front of Alph and Ralph. Celeste held up her hand just as one of the door guards opened his mouth.
"Before you try to confuse us with your riddles I know you are both lying. We are going left," Ralph moved out of the way, as Celeste pushed open the door signaling her friends inside.
"I can't believe it all this time I took the wrong way," Sarah whispered to herself.
"Actually, you took the right way- the tunnel system you were in leads directly to the castle."
"Then why don't we go that way?" Sarah interrupted.
"Because they most likely waiting for us down there- where sunlight doesn't reach them…" Celeste trailed off. "Anyway, time for you next lesson in the Hedge Maze and this is where we must leave Ludo to his duties."
"Oh-" Sarah said regretfully. Sarah walked over and gave Ludo a hug. "Bye Ludo- see you soon."
"Good bye Sawah." Ludo said and walked away.
"Now, time for your history lesson. You ready? It's kind of long."
"Totally- lay it on me."
"One day aboveground is like one week here. So, 910 million years ago Underground time, which is about -oh- just about 306 trillion years ago your time…" Celeste smiled at Sarah's shocked expression and answered her mental inquiry, "Yes, that long ago. God decided to create 13 beings to help control the stream of beings he was constantly strewing out. Time, was the first, he travels in the form of a silver ball. Miracle, his brother also travels in silver. Destiny comes in silver as well. You see since Time, Miracle, and Destiny are all direct family and all focus on the same basic objective, they share the same travel form. Love, she travels in orange. I know what you're thinking- but wouldn't she be red? No- it is her sister- Lust that travels in red. Lust is married to Seduction who travels in black. Hope- she travels in yellow where as he sister, Purity, travels in white. Courage prefers blue while as her brother-Strength travels in green. Happiness- he travels in violet and his brother- Indifference chooses clear. Despair- Indifference's wife likes gray. And those are the 13 beings. Together they either gave birth to or created the four original Fae beings.
"There are three major kingdoms- the Kingdom of the Fae, the Kingdom of Dreams, and the Kingdom of Nightmares. King Oberon, who is the son of Seduction and Lust and Queen Titiana, who is the daughter of Strength and Love are married and extremely powerful. Oberon is the father of almost every other being of the 13 kingdoms. Oberon has black hair- mismatched eyes- one is blue like HIS and the other is emerald green. Titiania is the mother of all Oberon's children. She has white blond hair like HIM and she has mismatched eyes- one silver, the other hazel. Together they rule the Kingdom of the Fae.
"King Rama is the creation of Seduction and Hope and Queen Sita is not Fae she's of the angelic species. Rama has blue eyes-like the sea after a storm and his hair is strawberry blonde. Sita has sapphire blue eyes and golden blonde hair. They are the King and Queen of Dreams. They had a daughter named Willow who is the first of her kind- she's what the Aboveground call witches. She's sweet- her eyes are sapphire blue eyes and strawberry blonde hair.
"The last major kingdom is rules by Desida and Calion. Queen Desida has fiery red hair and her eyes are black. Calion is not Fae he is a Warlord. He has brown hair and green eyes. They have a son in which is well Gavinn…"
"Gavinn is of Fae blood?" Sarah asked amazed.
"Partial- he is part warlord but really he is King of the vampires and he is a vampire himself. The Fae blood is what makes him more powerful and able to last through sunlight. Gavinn has brown hair- wavy to his elbows. His eyes are mismatched- both shades of green. He has many children- his oldest is Damien.
"The rest of the kingdom holders are of the 8 children of Oberon and Titiania. I will just brush through this. The older twins own the Demon and Angelic Kingdoms. Gizabella rules the Demon kingdom. Augustus rules the Angelic Kingdom. The younger three are rulers of the elves, fairies, and gnomes. The oldest of the youngest is Clarice; she rules the elves with her eleven husband William. The middle of the youngest is Zellaphon; she rules the fairies. The youngest is Vernon he owns the gnomes.
"And the last stop is the famous triplets. Let's start with His Royal Highness, shall we?" Celeste said in a sarcastic tone. "J is Fae- pure blooded. All Fae are either evil or good. It is extremely rare for a completely balanced Fae. J is almost balanced but he is more evil than good by a drop. He's the middle of the triplets- he's ruled this kingdom for hmm- your time around five thousand years or so. He's quite young he's only over one million himself."
Sarah's mouth was agape, "ONE MILLION YEARS OLD!" She turned to find Celeste smirking.
"Oh- come on, Sarah- you've read enough fairy tales to know Fae live long lives. Any way he is very powerful for his age but not to extreme. He knows how to control it.
"Jaden is the youngest of the triplets. He was supposed to help J rule but he rebelled and was kicked out by the Fae court and stripped of his powers for attempting to kill Clarice. A year back he met up with Gavinn and they shared power- he is somewhere roaming Aboveground- killing innocent young girls with he shinny new fangs behind the identity of James Landau. Jareth and Jaden have been enemies since he tried to kill Clarice. If they saw each other again, only one person would survive the meeting. Jaden is the weakest out of the triplets because he is all dark magic and all evil vampire. (A/N: not that some of us mind that…= )"
"What about the oldest triplet?" Sarah asked- extremely curious and into the story.
"Um- look! The doors! We've got to get into the Fiery Forest so I can teach you how to fence."
"How to fence?"
"Sword fight Sarah."
"Really! Awesome!" Sarah said, completely forgetting the question she asked earlier because of the excitement. She slid through the door that Celeste had opened.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*ONE HOUR LATER*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Clash. Clink. Shink. Crash.
"Block, block, block, nice lunge, block, block, watch your left side, block, block, block, and-" Celeste said as she avoided Sarah's blows one after the other, the previous one just missing he arm. "Nice- your almost hit me that time and you're checked." Celeste said as her cloth covered sword smacked right into Sarah's midsection on the left side. "You keep leaving your left side open, we have to keep working on it."
"Um- my ladies?" Didymus interrupted.
"Yes, Didymus?" Celeste said.
"I must return to my home and Sir Hoggle had to go home to his lady."
"Hoggle's married?" Sarah asked, astonished.
"Just a year ago. His wife, Tawny, is pregnant 3 months," Didymus answered.
"Wow. Well- if you must go…" Sarah said as she kneeled down to sweep Didymus into a hug and release him. "I shall see you soon Didymus."
Didymus bowed. "Fare thee well, Lady Sarah, Lady Celeste." And with that, Didymus galloped off towards the Bog of Stench in which they had been avoiding. Sarah and Celeste were about to continue with Sarah's lesson when Celeste's head shot up.
"A raven-" She said. "Sarah do you know how to run?"
"Of course." Sarah said, nervous.
"Good- run!" Celeste said grabbing Sarah's hand as she ran down the hill into the Junkyard and they ran- the raven on the tail, they just slipped into the gates and past the Hugemongious when the raven was about to swoop.
"He wont come for us no while we are here," Celeste panted.
"Why did we run?" Sarah panted.
"Gavinn travels in the form of a raven."
"Oh."
"Come, but first we must change into something more suitable." Celeste snapped her fingers and she was in a silver gown with her hair up in a french twist- silver ribbons strung though her white blonde hair, a matching clock with hood was around he shoulders. Sarah looked down when she felt her clothes change. Her jeans had turned into a red dress that had sleeves that spouted at the ends and a tight bodice with a full skirt. A red cape draped around her shoulders- she felt her hair twist up into the same hairstyle as Celeste except with red ribbons. "Now, we're ready," Celeste said pulling her hood up to cover her face.
Sarah copied the motion. "Wow, this is incredible."
"Yes, come to the castle."
All the way the Sarah was wrapped up in her own thoughts. Oh Jareth. What will he think of me? Why do I care? He's my enemy right? No Sarah, you know better than that. It was ALL your fault, remember? He did what you asked him to. You did, after all, wish Toby away in the first place. Oh- so many thoughts… Do I still love him? Did I ever love him? Does he love me still? After my rejection? Do I hope that he will still love me? The sounds of the castle doors opening awoke Sarah from her thoughts as Sarah went first into the castle and following her memory walked right into the throne room.
Jareth, who had been lounging in his throne- one leg over the arm, looked up at the clicking of heels. He saw a pretty, young maiden walk into the throne room. He was about to ask her what she was doing her when she removed the hood from her head.
"Sarah?" Jareth whispered, barely believing his eyes. He was about to ask her what she was doing here when a woman stepped out from behind Sarah and lowered her hood. This shocked him even more.
"Jareth- I…" Celeste started in a soft whisper but she didn't get to finish. The second Jareth saw Celeste standing in his throne room for the first time in five thousand years, he didn't hesitate to rush off his throne to wrap her in a hug.
"Sister," escaped Jareth's lips as he tightened his hold on her.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
I know I am SOOOOOO evil. *Starts laughing hysterically and just dodges a rotten peach.* Ah, well sucks for you. *Bangs on her bathroom door again*
CS: Jareth I really didn't mean it when I called you a puffy haired, spandex wearing, goblin kisser.
J: Yes, you did! *Sulking and sobbing noises heard*
CS: *sighs in aggravation and clears throat when the Funny Farm music comes on (funny farm?
By Dr. Demento?)*
Remember when you didn't review and I got on my knees and begged you to or else I'd go bizirk? Well, you didn't anyhow and then the days got worse and worse. And now you see I've gone completely out of my mind. And- they're coming to take you away ha ha, they're coming to take you away ho ho hee hee ha ha to the goblin farm- where life is beautiful all the time and you'll be happy to see those big hairy goblins covered in bog slime and they're coming to take you away ha ha.
*giggles* so remember Review!!
*bangs on door again* JARETH I HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM NOW!!!!!
*Claire bursts into her room and chucks her 50-pound backpack on the bed* I HATE school. *looks up and notices Jareth*
Claire: *smirks and curtseys* And what do I owe the pleasure of your presence your Royal Tightness?
Jareth: Why are all the listians obsessed with my tights?
Claire: *snickers* Because they're tight?
Jareth: Just get on with the story for Undeground's sake!
Claire: *laughs* Aw, is this a touchy topic?
Jareth: ARG! *zaps himself away leaving a HUGE pile of glitter in the middle of her room*
Claire: Damn. *picks up broom and pan* All right… on with the story…while I try to calm His Royal Tightness into coming back but before I do I want to thank my best friends Cherry and Candy aka Alisa Perne aka Sita from listening to me every time I talk about Labyrinth.
Disclaimer: *Bursts into tears* WAAAAAAAA! I don't own the labyrinth. I also don't own Jaden, which is own by the brilliant Spider Girl who thought of him first… Shucks. Oh by the way- if anyone wants to use the character of Jaden please ask her before using him. Thanks- I wouldn't want to give a bad impression. And yes, there is a chance he may make a guest appearance.

When Celeste finished speaking Sarah's eyes shot open. Her pupils dilated to the fullest then receded until they where back to normal size. Sarah looked around, her mouth open in shock. She could see every opening; they were all glowing red!
"Better?" Celeste said, humor clear in her voice.
"Very…" Sarah whispered her voice filled with awe. "I can see every opening!" Sarah turned to walk in a random opening but Celeste arm shot out and grabbed hers in a vice-like grip.

"Gavinn travels in the form of a raven."
"Oh."
"Come, but first we must change into something more suitable." Celeste snapped her fingers and she was in a silver gown with her hair up in a french twist- silver ribbons strung though her white blonde hair, a matching clock with hood was around he shoulders. Sarah looked down when she felt her clothes change. Her jeans had turned into a red dress that had sleeves that spouted at the ends and a tight bodice with a full skirt. A red cape draped around her shoulders- she felt her hair twist up into the same hairstyle as Celeste except with red ribbons. "Now, we're ready," Celeste said pulling her hood up to cover her face.
Sarah copied the motion. "Wow, this is incredible."
"Yes, come to the castle."
All the way the Sarah was wrapped up in her own thoughts. Oh Jareth. What will he think of me? Why do I care? He's my enemy right? No Sarah, you know better than that. It was ALL your fault, remember? He did what you asked him to. You did, after all, wish Toby away in the first place. Oh- so many thoughts… Do I still love him? Did I ever love him? Does he love me still? After my rejection? Do I hope that he will still love me? The sounds of the castle doors opening awoke Sarah from her thoughts as Sarah went first into the castle and following her memory walked right into the throne room.
Jareth, who had been lounging in his throne- one leg over the arm, looked up at the clicking of heels. He saw a pretty, young maiden walk into the throne room. He was about to ask her what she was doing her when she removed the hood from her head.
"Sarah?" Jareth whispered, barely believing his eyes. He was about to ask her what she was doing here when a woman stepped out from behind Sarah and lowered her hood. This shocked him even more.
"Jareth- I…" Celeste started in a soft whisper but she didn't get to finish. The second Jareth saw Celeste standing in his throne room for the first time in five thousand years, he didn't hesitate to rush off his throne to wrap her in a hug.
"Sister," escaped Jareth's lips as he tightened his hold on her.
