The study was different from the last time Sarah had been there. First of all the curtains were drawn open. Second, she was happy to be there because sitting before her were her 3 most trust worthy friends.
Sir Didymus, Ludo, and Hoggle all sat in front of Jareth's huge desk. Sir Didymus and Hoggle sat in chairs while Ludo had to sit on the ground. There weren't any chairs around that were big enough for him.
"Sawah!" Ludo yelled. He ran over to Sarah and engulfed her in a hug.
Sir Didymus hopped down from his chair, "Lady Sarah how pleased I am to see you." he said with a bow, while Sarah politely curtsied. Hoggle just sat in his chair and politely smiled at Sarah.
Jareth then stepped in, "Well now that all of that is taken care of, shall we get down to business? I am guessing after the many years you were gone that you will have much to discuss." There was then a loud thud outside the window. The goblins were panicking about something.
"Yes," Sir Didymus replied. Jareth sat down behind a desk while Sarah pulled up a chair, "How many years have Ludo and I been gone you say?"
"12," Hoggle chimed in, "twelve long years."
"12?" Ludo asked. Goblins were now yelling outside.
"It feels as if we only departed a month ago." Sir Didymus said. Now that Sarah looked both Ludo and Sir Didymus over she did notice that they hadn't changed one bit since the last time she saw them. Unlike Hoggle.
"No it has been twelve years. Believe it and move on," Jareth said while looking toward one of the windows, "I have many things to deal with today and I need to know if your information is worth knowing."
"Jareth I would think anything they have to say is worth knowing. They have been gone for so long they are bound to know many things of importance." Sarah said.
"But as they said to them it feels like only a month since they left here. That means that they have only a month's worth of information."
"Ahh yes that is true. But valuable information at that," Sir Didymus stated.
"Well simply get on with it," Jareth almost yelled.
"Well as you know our mission was to see who could have erased the memories of all the citizens of the goblin city, right?" Sir Didymus said. Jareth gave an annoyed nod, "After jumping through many dimensions and other worlds we have come up with only 2 people who could even have the power to do such a thing . The first is a man by the name of Pioneses O'Gall. It is said that he could read a man's thoughts from 50 miles away. He could not have done it though for he took a vow of poverty many years ago and now lives in the woods as a hermit in the nude. I don't even think he knows the labyrinth exists," the goblins outside were beginning to get even louder, "In the end Your Highness both Ludo and I believe that your theory is the absolute truth."
"Good," Jareth said as he began to get up, "Will that be all?"
"Yes your majesty," Sir Didymus and Ludo said.
"Wait!" chimed Sarah.
"What is it?" Jareth sounded very upset.
"What about the other candidate? Didymus said there was two. Who is the other one?"
"Does it really matter? Sir Didymus did you not say that you believed my theory?"
"Yes I did."
"See he believes no need to carry on. I must go."
"Still I would like to hear it. Just to be sure."
"Fine!" Jareth yelled, "But make it quick. If those goblins start to riot, Sarah, it will be your head."
"Well what is there to say? We found this out in a dimension where one minute there time was one day our time. When both Ludo and I had arrived there was a revolution going on so we didn't stay long. But we did pick up a story about a woman by the name of Lady Cassandra. She was very powerful and manipulated that countries king some how. Anyways when we had gotten there she was dead. The people locked her in her house and burnt it to the ground or something. We didn't stay very long. It is pointless."
"Really was that worth hearing Sarah?"
"Yes Jareth it was." Sarah stated.
"Believe what you will child. As for you two," Jareth said, "I will need you to turn over the powerful amulets I gave you. Please just…"
At that the door to the study flew open and a goblin guard came running in. "Your majesty," The goblin said out of breath, "We need you in the thrown room. A baby has just been wished away!"

A/N: What will happen next? Does anyone know? Oh yeah... I do! Really this story is gonna start to pick up after this. I promise you. I am so sorry for not writing sooner and the fact that this chapter isn't very long. I am knee deep in Drama Club. We are doing Alice in Wonderland and I have to make a Caterpiller costume and a Humpty Dumpty one. NOT FUN! I will try to post the next one sooner. Thank you for all the reviews by the way. I love all of your comments.
