I do not own anything except my own characters Sarah, Leah etc etc etc….

After cleaning up, Sarah headed off to find somebody. Despite all of its luxuries, Imlardis could be quite a lonely place she thought. She was looking in particular for Kyo or perhaps Gandalf. She realized during that last attack of hers that things couldn't go on like she would have planned. It was too dangerous, and that was why she felt as if she needed to talk to somebody, just to sort things out for herself. Not surprisingly, she found Kyo walking along the passage to her. His once pink robes had been replaced by a more subtle grey, feeling that pink made him more of a mockery than anything. Without a word, he motioned for her to follow him into the library and just as silently, she followed. She knew what was to be discussed.

Gandalf was waiting for them as they entered, but Sarah wondered whether Erestor was there as well, perhaps in the secret room upstairs. After sitting down Gandalf propped he arms up on one of the desks and began,

"Do you know why we need to speak young one?" Sarah nodded sadly.

"It is too dangerous, I had to stop Kyo from telling me much, doubtless to say, you would know as much, if not more about this world than he does?" Again, Sarah nodded. The information that she and her friends knew, from the book and the movie put them in a dangerous situation not only with people that might want to exploit their knowledge, but also with fate. If anything was to slip about the fate of the ring, Sauron and such, many events could change and history, or at least the history or the Lord of the Rings in Sarah's world, would be changed, and she and Kyo realized only a fool would interfere. Therefore the only possible situation would be to leave, or to forget. The latter seemed to be the only solution as there was no real way of ensuring that the group would leave Middle Earth.

"But Sarah, there's also one other thing. The other world, our world, or perhaps not…you and I both have a theory on what has happened." This was true, back in school, Kyo and Sarah had often discussed and debated on ideas such as this. But this so far was the only one they could agree on. For every action, there are many possibilities as to what the reaction might be, who's to say that there would be only one reaction. Their theory, a common one, was that the universe was constantly expanding with parallel worlds in which all reactions would be lived out. The worlds were not linked though, but in their particular case, as the bus had plunged off the cliff, they were living out one of the possibilities, being transported to another world. Of course, there would be many other reactions, such as they all died, or they all survived, or on one of them survived etc. This is what had confused Sarah so much, and what had pushed her over the edge. Just the notion that this was possible and that she could be aware of it. Shaking her head, she asked quietly,

"How is this to be done?" Gandalf said nothing for a while, just staring off into nothingness. Then finally,

"There is a magic, a type of spell that can be cast in which all memories are lost except those that are true. You seem to be in you true form according to the pool of truth, so I am guessing, if this spell was cast on you, you would forget you previous life and only remember your life in this world."

"Yes, that would solve some of our problems, we would no longer remember the stories of our world about here, and wouldn't be able to interfere with fate," agreed Kyo.

"Only problem is that we have no memories of this world either, so…we would remember nothing…" finished Sarah.

"I am afraid so, but I will assure you, you would all be looked after with the uttermost care. You will still be know each other, but you friendships would have to be remade," said Gandalf.

'A thing not easily done,' Sarah thought to herself but out aloud,

"We have but no choice then. But they others must be informed of this though, we couldn't do this to them without their knowledge, it would be too...too…" she looked at Kyo for support but he couldn't meet her eye.

"What happens if they don't go willingly, what happens if they refuse and they tell somebody all they know before it happens. It's too much of a risk Sarah, we only told you because you had already realized," Sarah's eyebrows shot up!

"It was in your eyes, a sadness,". Sarah understood, it was the same sadness she had seen in Kyo's eyes.

"Leah though," she said to Kyo. Gandalf mistook her, thinking that she was talking about her friendship.

"Friendships can be reforged, they will never be truly lost between real friends!" but Kyo, who understood what she was talking about looked away once more. His heart was with Leah but she was completely unaware. He was afraid that if he lost this friendship with her, he'd lose all hope.

"What must be done must be done," he said, and they all rose up silently. They would take action swiftly Sarah knew, there wasn't much time to lose.
