Ever So Slowly

Part One

Disclaimer: I own the plot, Sarah, Jationary and Joe… And the driver, but he doesn't count!

Sarah, a blue gelert locked up in a great Meridell castle, wept long and hard. She had been kept a slave here for a long time, even before other Neopians had discovered Meridell and Darigan. Just because she was from Darigan she was kept here. The king of Meridell was evil… she knew it. Not just because that Sarah was from Darigan, but because of how cruel and harsh he was on others. How BADLY he wanted to hurt Darigan, how BADLY he wanted to kill Lord Darigan and all of his followers. Just because Lord Darigan wanted an orb… This is how Sarah got here…. A glowing orb…

"Sarah! Sarah come here darling!" Sarah's kind mother Jationary called.

"Coming Mother!" Sarah yelled back happily.

She had a beautiful life here in Darigan. The grass was green, everyone was happy. Sarah ran over to her smiling mother. Who was a beautiful faerie gelert. Jationary was holding out a pretty golden chain-necklace with a glowing ball in the center of it.

"This, was your grandmama's most favourite necklace. It has been passed down for many generations. Although I never wore it, it is time for you to have this." She told Sarah, handing her the necklace.

"But, but… How do you know that you're supposed to give this necklace to me now?" Sarah inquired.

"Because I know." Jationary replied in the Don't ask any more questions or your grounded type voice. Sarah nodded and put the necklace around her neck. The glowing circle glowed a bit brighter.

"Now go and play with your friends!" Jationary told Sarah. Sarah skipped happily out the door and to find her friends…

Sarah soon was being crowded by most of her friends because of the beautiful glowing necklace. They were all asking where it came from, what it was, etc. Soon night fell and Sarah's friends were called home for supper, but Sarah stayed out longer to watch the stars. She curled up on the ground and stared upwards at the shining stars. But soon, something strange happened… Something very strange…
