A/N: Hey, you're special! I'm putting two up today cause my mind is running off full steam ahead! Woo-hoo! And I also ate four boxes of Gobstoppers and drank three cherry cokes! So I'm on a sugar high! And I just wrote a new story and it's angsty but it was fun and it seems like I'm rambling today! Woo-hoo! And my computer says that angsty isn't a word so -even though many people have used it before me- I'm taking full credit! Because I ate too much sugar!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Hawk, Sarah, Lynda and Hoggle crawled through the trapdoor and into what looked to be someone's living room.

"Crysta?" Hawk called out. "Hey, where are you?"

A woman appeared in the doorway. She had long blond hair and ice-blue eyes like Hawk's, and they stared through everyone and everything as if seeing nothing. "Hello, little brother. I've been expecting you since his royal highness paid me a visit."

Concern flashed across Hawk's face. "What did he say?" he questioned, his face tight with fury.

"He asked me if I had seen you lately." She grinned-a grin with the same mischievousness as her little brother's.

"And?"

"And I told him I haven't seem anyone or anything in eighteen years." She snickered.

"You're blind?" Sarah blurted out. Hawk and Lynda both looked at her disapprovingly.

"'course I am. I find it helps my magic better. I can see past the materialistic things and straight into the essence of the world."

Sarah stirred uncomfortably as Hawk laughed.

"Crysta? We need to ask you something."

"You only come to see your sister when you need something, don't you, Christo? It hurts. It really does."

Hawk glared at Sarah and Lynda, and they turned away to look at the draperies more closely.

"You know that's for your own protection, sister." He growled.

"Of course, of course. I'm sorry for getting you upset." Crysta smiled at her brother. "I've forgotten that you've lost your sense of humor."

"I still have my sense of humor!" He exclaimed.

"Of course, of course. But now it's overshadowed by worry and concern."

Hawk's eyes widened, and Crysta changed the subject quickly.

"What do you need to know, brother?"

"We need to know what the key is."

Crysta cocked an eyebrow. "The key? What for?"

"To free the girl."

"I know to free the girl. I'm no idiot. But why do you want to free the girl?"

Hawk was silent for a while.

"Is because you would do anything to spite the Goblin King?"

Hawk kept silent.

"You need to figure out what the consequences are of your decision, Christo. You need to think of that before you act."

"I didn't free her. What was I supposed to do, sister? Leave her and her mother to be captured by the goblins and taken back to our favorite monarch?"

Crysta sighed. "Girl. Come here."

Sarah crept shyly over.

"What's your name?"

"Sarah."

Crysta grasped Sarah's wrists and positioned her thumbs over the girl's pulse. Sarah gasped as she felt a burst of energy burn its way through her veins. Her ears rang and her vision blurred as the powerful mage's magic flowed through her. A vision formed I her mind- twists and turns through the Labyrinth at inhuman speeds. And suddenly it all stopped in a small, golden room, empty except for a silver and sapphire sword resting on an alter in the middle. Then everything went black and she collapsed in a dead faint, and Hawk caught her and turned to lay her on the couch.
