Hey guys, new chapter! Just to let everyone know, I'm going to be
rewriting chapters 1 and 2. I'm really unhappy with them, so I'll keep you
guys updated on that. The song is "Silence" by Sarah McLachlan. I do not
own Final Fantasy or Labyrinth. The usual drill. The language used by the
guado is made up by me, and used for the sole purpose of this story.
Please review!
~"Give me release
witness me
I am outside
give me peace"~
The dinner had been going unusually smooth. Sarah was shocked to see that Adam had a rather pleasant side to him. When he was around others, he seemed to be a good person. But Sarah knew better. She couldn't be deceived. And Lunus was quiet as well. That didn't surprise her. She was jerked into reality again when Ada started to talk to her
"So Sarah, you are with child I see." She winked.
Sarah plastered another fake smile and was about to spill the truth on Adam, when he answered for her.
"Oh yes Ada. It's one of the many reasons why Sarah and I are getting married. We can hardly wait for the little one to be born." He answered with a smile on his face, not even daring to look at Sarah. She couldn't believe what Adam had just said. Ada nodded her head politely and started to talk to Philip. Sarah looked at Lunus, who gave her an odd look. Sarah threw down her napkin on the table and got up to leave without saying a word.
"Sarah my sweet, wherever are you going?" Adam called after her.
"To my room." She growled.
He got up to go after her, but sat down when she threw him a filthy look. She started to run to her room when she was out of sight of the dining area. She couldn't believe her ears. These people thought that the baby was Adam's. And she couldn't do anything about it until Jareth came for her. She was a pregnant and helpless woman. What if she said something and he hit her. What if something happened to the baby? She didn't dare risk it. Who knew the kind of power Adam had.
~"Heaven holds a sense of wonder
and I wanted to believe
that I'd get caught up
when the rage in me subsides"~
The company had parted to their separate rooms until dinner. Jareth and Jason in one room, Isabella and Amberle in another, and Sirus and Anthony in the last room. The girls took naps while the men roamed the Bevelle palace grounds. They had dedicated their time in Bevelle to relax. They were sitting around a clear blue pool when a female guado came to them with a message.
"The King requires your presence in the throne room immediately. The females have already been notified." She then turned on her heel and walked back into the palace.
"Looks like the vacation is over eh?" Sirus joked.
Jareth and Anthony smiled. Jason was trailing behind glaring at the three men.
~"In this white wave
I am sinking
in this silence
in this white wave
in this silence
I believe"~
The men arrived at the throne room the same time the ladies did. Jareth pushed open the doors and led the way in. Seymour and Yuna were waiting their arrival. Amberle glanced quickly at Yuna, remembering what Jareth told her. Yuna looked so unhappy. Yuna must have noticed that Amberle was staring at her because she gave her a small smile and winked at her. Amberle smile back, but it gave her no comfort. Then Seymour spoke,
"I have thought over what you have to me. And you are more than welcome to the key. You know that Jareth. But I want you to take one of my men with you to the Cetran City. He will meet you at Hell's Gate with the key, and then will stay with you until you retrieve Sarah."
The company burst out in excitement.
"From the way you have been acting, it seems like you would not have given us the key!" Amberle exclaimed.
"Amberle!" Anthony scolded. "You are speaking to a King!"
Amberle waved him off, and Seymour started to laugh.
"Come, let's enjoy the rest of the night and you will set off in the morning."
~"Passion chokes the flower
'til she cries no more
possessing all the beauty
hungry still for more"~
Sarah had changed into her nightgown and was going to bed, when she heard a knock on her door. If it's Adam, I swear I will punch him right in the nose, she thought. But when she opened her door, it was Lunus standing in her doorway. He was in the state she had seen him earlier. His hair was released from the ponytail and he was wearing his black robes once more.
"Mind if I come in?" He blandly asked, walking in her room before she could answer.
"I am not sorry I walked out if that is what you came here for."
"I wasn't looking for an apology. I came to get you out of here. We are leaving the Cetran City and going to meet Jareth and company in the Phantom Regions."
Sarah stood there dumbfounded.
"We're leaving? Just like that? Just on the fly?" Sarah demanded.
"No. I have been in secret contact with Jareth since your kidnapping by owl. The company is now in Bevelle. We have arranged to meet in the most sacred and holy spot in the Phantom Regions, Aya Brook. There, the company will take you back to Bevelle, where you will wait for Jareth and I."
"Where are you two going?"
Lunus turned around and looked out her window.
"To finish off Adam."
"But won't he come after us if he knows we are gone?"
"Only if we do not move quickly!" And with that he shoved her clothing into her arms and pushed her into her bathroom. She dressed quickly. Everything was moving so fast. But they were going to meet Jareth, and soon. After 2 months, they would be together again. Just as she put on her leggings, she felt an odd jolt in her abdomen. She held it for a second, and shrugged it off. Kicks, she thought. She rushed out of the bathroom. There Lunus waited.
"Ready?"
"Ready."
"Heaven holds a sense of wonder...
I can't help this longing
comfort me
I can't hold it all in
if you won't let me"
The company awoke the next morning to a sunny day. Eager to set out, they said their goodbyes to the king and queen quickly. And as each man from the company hugged the queen and thanked her for her hospitality, Amberle could see Seymour's jealous eyes again. She sighed and then hugged the queen. Then they set out. Hell's Gate was directly north of Bevelle, and could easily be seen from the city. Far away it looked like some simple black lines. But as the company grew closer and closer to it, it became more massive and horrifying. The gates were at least 150ft tall, and encircled the whole Phantom Region. The pictures engraved into the entrance gates showed figures hunting, and killing. Some figures were human, and some monsters.
"Holy Underground." Was all that anyone could say as they stared at the gates.
They all had to stare in wonder for a couple of moments, when they heard a voice calling to them.
"King Jareth!" A guado man with bright green hair came running to them from a tiny house near the gate entrance. He bowed and introduced himself.
"I am Stanton Rouge. The king told me of your quest for your Queen Sarah, and your plans to meet with the druid Lunus and Sarah in I will guide you through to the Phantom Regions to Aya Brook." He then looked at Amberle and Anthony. "Would you mind if I guided you through? Seymour told me of your Cetran skill, but I have been through the Regions many times."
He said it so politely that Amberle and Anthony could do nothing but shake their heads and hide their disappointment. Once the introductions were made, they continued.
"Well, shall we?" Jareth pointed to the gates.
Stanton nodded, and took out the Key from his pocket. It in fact was not a key, but a vial of amber liquid. He opened the vial and held it up to the gates, and spoke in a long forgotten language.
"Estro Meliah Hellia! Makenia Eyachna!"
The gates and the ground started to rumble. And with an enormous crash and crack of thunder, the once sunny sky was now black with storm clouds. Stanton put the vial in his waist pouch and nodded, leading the company into the Phantom regions.
"I have seen you
in this white wave
you are silent
you are breathing
in this white wave
I am free"
OHHHH CLIFFHANGER!!! Hehe. Anyways, PLZ review!
