Thank you all for the encouragement in your posts. I had written this chapter to sort of build into the rest of the story. Please review and give me your thoughts on it. (Sorry for how long this all has taken! TY for sticking with it)
I don't own the Characters of the Labyrinth or any of its story so please don't sue me.
Chapter 7
Welcome Home
How could this be that place of twists and turns she had run through no longer than 10 years ago? Death and pain surrounded her in a cloud of gray and darkened shadows. The scorched earth lied barren in front of her scrutinizing view. Among the blackened soil no Goblin King was to be found and her voice cried out in vain, "What is this Goblin King? Am I to run your Labyrinth once again?" Not surprised by his absence, she began her descent off the lifeless hill.
She hadn't gotten further than a few feet when she began to notice a miraculous light of soft yellow beating the shadows back. Vines and trees adorned with bright blossoms and fruits ripped through the earth following her every step. Birds and pixies began to come alive and surrounded her singing and whispering her name through out the air. Sweet winds danced through her ebony locks pushing her along to guide her.
A soft voice radiated from the walls as though belonging to the very labyrinth, "This way Sarah." The pixies pulled at her hands to navigate her through the turns. Her eyes began to scale her surroundings with near disbelief. As though greeting her, the ivy climbed back into its place and hedges detangled into sculpted arrows pointing the way.
"Welcome home Sarah!" could be heard through out the labyrinth as she was pushed, pointed, blown, and directed through it's turns.
Before she was tugged through the woods she once again heard the calm voice surrounding her, "This is as far as my walls can take you. The forest's pixies will guide you through the rest of the way. Beware of you fears Sarah, they will distract your quest." With that the bricks turned cold again and she was tugged onward crying in vain, "What quest?!?!"
Quickly being pulled and tossed along Sarah's mind drifted off into the scenery of reemerging life. It was then that she realized that their path wasn't the rout she had taken on her previous journey but what choice did she have? She wasn't even sure if they were taking her to the castle in Goblin City.
I apologize once more for the long wait between chapters and sorry for the shortness but it had to be this way. While you're down here please click that review button over there and leave me a line or two.
