Intentions
Chapter 3
Sunday, May 25, 2003
The air hung heavy. There was hardly a ray of sunshine. The ground was hard dry flaky soil barren and lifeless. Drops from the above lake fell through the topsoil and fell into small patches of grass that grew effortlessly springing to life buds of elegant beauty. These small patches seemed to be the only life living in this barren and desolate cavern. Just ahead a small sound catches ear. It is the sound of metal being clicked and clanged, wire being stretched and strung. A very small rounded cottage glowed with light. Inside a large wood table pilled high with gears springs and metal pieces played canvas to a small goblin. She grabbed an object from the opposite end of her table stretching her long arms and squinched her toes together as she gleefully muttered incomprehensible words to herself when achieving each intricate task. Her long nose held small spectacles for her large eyes. Her eyes, one blue and the other green could just be seen from behind the mess of brown hair about her head. Flop, Flop. The little goblin's ear shot up. Flop, Flop. Scared, the little goblin jumped up onto the backrest of her chair, which she hardly used, as her back was slightly arched forward giving her a slight hunchback posture. Knock, Knock. Leaping behind a large pitcher of crystal blue water, she tried to hide peering her large eyes from the side of the pitcher towards the door.
"Ohhhh, who could this beeee.?" very nervous and very much muttering to herself again, she closed her eyes as the door opened. "Oley? You in here?" Oley opened her eyes and fainted to the floor. Hoggle rolled his eyes, "Not again." Hoggle grabbed Oley by the back of the shirt and dragged her to her chair. Sitting her upright Hoggle grabbed one of her small wrists and dropped it to her side. "Here," Sarah thought, "Maybe some water.." Oley awoke suddenly. "NO!" Startled Sarah put the pitcher down back on the table. "Pretty, Brave, Hero cant touch the water!" Oley leaped to the pitcher attaching herself on to it as to protect it, though it was just about as big as her. Sarah was puzzled. " I..think you have me confused..with someone else. I'm not a conqueror. I'm Sarah." Oley stood meekly in front of Sarah twiddling her fingers and fidgeting with her feet. " Meesta Hoggle tolds Oley all about your defeat of his Majesty and hows you got past all his guards and things in the Labyrinth." Oley smiled wide and nodded feverously. Sarah hardly considered herself any kind of hero, all she wanted to do was get her brother back, and do what was right.
"Well," Sarah reached inside her pocket trying to change the subject, "can you tell me anything about this?" Oley jumped a little when Sarah started to pull something from her pocket but seeing it was one of her own creations, Oley smiled gleefully plucking it from Sarah's hand. "Oh yes, Miss Hero, Oley knows!" She walked over to the glass pitcher containing the crystal like water. "But here," she pointed one long arthritic looking finger at the watch. "It's missing its magic." Slowly she dipped the watch face first into the water. Instantaneously shining sparkles of light swirled along the metal. When Oley raised it from the water the watch had changed. The luster of the black metal still intact, though atop the watch two metal crescents formed facing opposite each other and atop the crescents lay securely a very small round crystal orb. Sarah smiled, Hoggle too showed his admiration, and Oley very proud of herself, smiled chin up until she looked at the watches final transformation.
Oley's eyes began to fill with tears and she ran of to a little room throwing herself on the tinny bed to cry alone. Sarah and Hoggle very confused went after her. "Oley what's wrong?" "Ya it's a nice watch, you know!" Hoggle added. Looking up from her tattered bedding Oley flung herself onto Sarah's leg crying pitifully. Sarah looked at Hoggle, he shrugged. Finally Oley looked up at Sarah calm enough to talk. "Oley can't give this to Pretty Hero Sarah, But if she dose not, oh his Majesty will surely be angry!" She began to snivel and whimper like a little child. Sarah knelt down. "Why Oley? Why can't you give it to me?" Oley held back her whimpering as much as she could. "Oh his majesty came her earlier to tells Oley a pretty young girl and a dwarf might comes to sees Oley. Oley has not had company 'sides his majesty and meesta Hoggle for sometime now so Oley thought it was a happy gift," Oley began to sob again, she blew her nose against Sarah's jeans. Both Sarah and Hoggle cringed in disgust. "His Majesty says Oley's not sposed to tell them anything bought his majesties plans for this watch, only that Pretty young girl should goes to tha castle." Oley covered her mouth quickly. She began to weep. "Oley's not sposed to say all that." Hoggle rolled his eyes. Little late fer that now! Oley got a scared, even more so than usual, look in her eye. "OH, Pretty Young girl and Dwarf must leaves now!" she used all her little goblin might to push Sarah out of the little cottage.
Sarah didn't fight her much. Oley slammed the door behind them. Sarah sighed folding her arms. Hoggle looked up at her. "Now what?" Just then Oley's door opened slightly and Sarah's watch flew out. The sound of several clanks and crashes could be heard from inside. Then a splash, fallowed by Oley's whimpers and cries. "Oh noooo, now how's his Majesty to reorder time withouts Oley's magic waters?" Sarah picked up the watch from the dirty floor and snapped closed the chain around her neck. Though it had its magic now, it still did not tick. She looked at Hoggle, "Well, I guess were off to the castle."
* I still don't oun any of the Labyrinth characters, settings or anything that all belongs to jim Henson and his company. But I do own Oley I made her, but should you need her, just call(Me and ask):D *** *So what do u guys think so far about the story? Our favorite Goblin king will be showing up more in further chapters. P.s. Happy Birthday Joel!!!
