Resurrection Quest part 9
CRASH!
Cole opened his eyes as he felt himself land and was surprised to find that he was sitting on a pile of dirty dishes.
"Nice of you to... drop in."
Cole looked over to the speaker and saw that it was Jareth. "What are you smirking at?"
"A boy who's sitting in a sink," Jareth answered with a laugh, "You fell right through the cabinet bottom!"
Cole frowned. "Well at least we're not crawling through that tunnel anymore." By the way.... Where are we?
"We're close... We're in the Goblin City," Jareth answered, "Oh and by the way. I wasn't crawling through that tunnel. You were. One of the perks of me having no real body."
"Show off."
"Whatever. Let's go."
****
Tristan stared into the empty room, shocked. Oh this wasn't good...
Anya just glanced in the room and walked away, not even looking at Tristan, "Well, it would appear that 'Jareth's last hope' has taken her leave of us," Anya muttered, keeping her tone emotionless.
"Anya," Tristan started, not wanting to believe what it looked like, "I'm sure there's a good explanation for this."
"For what Tristan?!," Anya snapped, clearly a little peeved at all that has been going on, "She flat out ran from us! I told you that she wasn't to be trusted!"
"But Anya, There has to be a reasonable explanation."
"When did you get so dense Tristan? Had she pulled this stunt after I gave custody of her to you, it would be you that would have to be executed!"
She took a few deep breaths before continuing, trying her hardest to keep her temper.
"Tristan," Anya started, speaking through clenched teeth, "You are a great soldier, a good mage, and an even better friend... but you're starting to act foolish. She's using you."
"You should have faith in people, Anya."
"One day that faith will get you killed," Anya replied sadly, "I hope I won't bee here to see it."
Tristan was somewhat surprised at this, "Anya?"
Anya ignored him and walked away. Most likely to her throne room.
Tristan watched silently as the small figure disappeared round a corner. Great... he had convinced a weary Anya to allow Sarah a second chance and after all that, Sara disappears. Now Anya won't be as lenient with Sarah should they find her.
Several of the guards backed up as Tristan began to mutter something in a not so well known language. They didn't know what he was saying but they knew that a frustrated mage chanting in an ancient language was anything but good.
"...amitz non FARFE!," Tristan finished, emphasizing the last three words as he released a ball of energy at a vacant wall, releasing a rather large explosive force upon the mortar.
"TRISTAN!," Anya's voice rang out, apparently having heard the explosion, "Not in the Castle! If you break something I SWEAR...."
Tristan tuned Anya out as he looked at the big hole in the wall. Looking at his hand, he had a look of shock on his face. All that rage, all that power stemmed from him...his anger.
"Stupid...Stupid...Tristan," he muttered to himself, "Still acting like a child..."
He sighed and kicked at the rubble.

Hoggle was looking for Tristan outside of the castle when he had heard a large explosion above. Looking up, he was surprised to see a large pile of rubble hurtling to the ground. Moving faster than he ever before, he ran for cover.
"'EY! WOT'S THE IDEA?!!" He shouted out to whoever caused that to happen, "I'SE BE WALKIN HERE!"
Seeing a figure peer out from the opening on the side of the castle, he squinted to make out the person... unsure of who he was until the figure called out to him, "HOGGLE? STAY THERE! I NEED TO TALK TO YOU."
Well, so much for secrecy.
Hoggle waited patiently, and almost didn't notice the small figure walking up to him.
