Chapter six: Away to contact Jareth

Sarah had after along search found Princess Keela in the garden, she knew that it would be that she couldn't have a private conversion here so she went over to the princess and said "princess Keela if your not to busy could I have a word with you in private it's important"

Keela looked up at Sarah and noticed the books she was carrying holding them tight to herself as if there were her only hope so she said " sure my Owlett something tells me you want to talk freely so lets go to your room and talk there, since it still as the protections on it" and so princess Keela transported them to outside Sarah's room as the protections prevented anyone teleporting in directly to it.

So once both Keela and Sarah was settled comfortably on Sarah's bed and Keela had reinforced the protection spell, Keela turned to Sarah and said "so what is it you wish to speak with me about Sarah"

Sarah open the book to the page that contained the spell she would need and showed it to Keela and told her "I need to contact Jareth the other day I was watching him through one of my crystals and I noticed he was miserable I also noticed that he was watching scenes from my time in the labyrinth over and over. I realized that he is missing me as much as I miss him" Sarah pauses seeing the reaction on Keela face and notices she looks worried " look I know your worried about this but I already went through my options through If I appear to him in his dreams but in my owl form and be careful he or I do not use my true name then if someone is listen they'd think the conversion was just a dream and beside they'd have to be able to turn into an owl to understand me and him. You said only Jareth and myself can do that let alone the fact that barn owls have there own dialect"

Keela look over the book carefully studying the spell before looking into Sarah's eyes and seeing that Sarah had her heart set on this she decided to help " Sarah you don't need this spell because your heart is already connected to him, all you need do is before you go to sleep cast an awaken dream crystal" she flips through the book to find the page that'll teach Sarah to make one and shows it to Sarah " this crystal will allow you to have full awareness in you dream as if you were really awake and douse grant you the ability to control your dreams" Keela was still worried " but even though you will be in control of the dream you most remain in owl form and have him change into one to then with his help change into a different dream plain of is creation there you should be able to talk freely but you won't have long Sarah this will take a lot out of you and you will need you strength tomorrow we don't have long to prepare before the ball".

So for the rest of the day when ever she had time in between her lessons she would return to her room and study the waken dream spell Keela had showed her.

Later that night when she had finished for the day Sarah returned to her room and using what she had learned form the book to conjure the waken dreams crystal then changing into a something comforty to sleep in yet would pass as normal day attire, after using a spy crystal to check Jareth was indeed asleep, she slipped into bed and soon was within her dream world where she transformed into her Owl form and flew through the dream plain where at the edge of Jareth's she reached out to him "Jareth my owl open your heart and your senses recognise me for who I truly am but do not speak for they would hear you come to me Jareth fly with me and take us to a dream plain where they can not follow so we may talk freely" all of this had been send in the language of barn owls so anyone who was listen only her cheeps and squawks.

Jareth had understood every word she had spoken and changed into an white barn owl took of and flew towards her once he'd reached her they both without a word flew high into the sky higher and higher knowing they need to put distance between them and who ever was following them as they flew up they spiralled dance around each other for they was totally happy to be with each other once again.

When Jareth knew they were high enough he transported himself and the Owlett to their own plain and where they landed on the tree rested for awhile until Jareth flew down to ground casting a protection spell much like the one Keela had do to her room then he looked up to her still in owl form and said "it is safe now my beloved" with that Sarah flew around Jareth as she used her own power to check is spell before landing before him.

Jareth took a few steps back Sarah to give her room as she stretched out her wings and flapping them as she leaned back as a light engulfed her body as she grow taller changing from an Owl into her human form it was truly beautiful to watch ( you'll have to take my word for it or use your imagination) as the light died away Jareth stepped forward reaching out toward and ran his fingers through her hair before placing his hand upon her cheek and whispering " it really is you isn't Sarah my love I am not just dreaming"..

Sarah smiled place her hand upon his and kisses is wrist before replying "no my love you are not just dreaming. Though you are dreaming up it is indeed really Jareth this is an awaken Dream I learned how do this so I contact you and tell you not to give up hope on me" with that Jareth wrapped his other arm around her waist and pulled her towards him then placed both hand upon her lifting her above him and spinning her around and around in the air. Sarah leaned back in excitement she had complete faith that he wouldn't drop her as then and she giggled out of pure joy..

Jareth lowered her back to ground where she insincerely wraped her arms around his neck holding him close and rest her head upon his chest Jareth placed a kiss upon her head and lifted her face up him then he leant down towards her before kissing her with all the love and the passion he had for her "Oh my love how I have missed you so much" he said looking to her eyes..

Sarah smiled up at him seeing the true love that he held only for her within his eyes " I know my love and I am sorry it as took so long to reach you but it was just to dangerous there are to many kind hearted people that would have been in danger if word got out not only of me being alive but of my location I had and still have much to learn before I can truly return to you please my love do not ask where I am for I can not tell you. I can not risk putting you or my protectors in danger" Sarah face suddenly changed and she looked over her shoulder muttering "shit"

Jareth noticing the sudden change in her became concerned "what wrong my Love" he asked her as she slowly stepped away from him, reaching out to her fearing she was about to take off and leave "please don't go it been so long since I've seen you"..

Sarah looked at him with sorrowful eyes "I'm sorry Jareth but I most go someone is trying to break the protection spell upon my room" she turned back into an owl but upon seeing the sorrow within his eyes she spoke within his head as she flew around and around him " 3 days Jareth 3 aboveground days there will be a full moon, when the moon is highest in the sky meet in the place you 1st saw me perform there we'll fly together and there my love protected by the grace and power of the full moon, I will explain all I can Jareth but until then know that I love you" and with that she took of flying high and out of the realm Jareth had created for them.

Once Sarah was far enough away from Jareth and anyone who'd might of followed her she woke up and rush to the door but not opening it and using her power to see who it was she found it was a strange goblin she did not recognise trying to get in to her room turning off the waken dream crystal and hiding it, use a crystal to summon Toggle she looked into the crystal and called "Toggle I need you Toggle"

Toggle who was asleep in his room woke up grumble "what you want Lady Owlett in the middle of the night"

"I Sorry to wake you Toggle but I fear there a traitor in the castle and who ever it is trying to break the spell upon my room" Sarah replied apolitically

At that Toggle ran out of his room summoning guard on his way and sending one to wake the princess and bring her to the Owlett's room as he and guard ran to her room finding that there was indeed someone trying to gain entrée into the Lady Owlett's room, "guards arrest him" Toggle shouted and the guards chased the traitor down.

Once the guards had caught the traitor the captain off the guard searched him receiving a spell stone from with his pocket and then taking it to the princess who had just arrived "Princess I found this on the traitorous scum bag"..

Princess Keela took the stone from the captain "oh dear this is not good at all" Keela destroyed the stone with her magic before turning to the captain and saying " Captain there is no way he made this stone find out where he got it and who ordered him to use it here" with that the Captain matched off to interrogate the prisoner then Keela turned to Toggle and said " come Toggle we most check upon our lady Owlett."

So Toggle and Keela knocked on the room telling the Owlett it was only them so she would opened the door and let them in upon entering Toggle shut the and Keela recast her protection spell as Toggle searched the room making sure no one had gotten in ..

Sarah turn to them once they had finish and said "was I right was someone trying to get in my room" receiving a nod from them she sighed and flopped down upon her bed..

Keela and Toggle climb upon the bed before her and said " how did you know Sarah you most have been asleep when he was trying to enter"

"I was Asleep but I was using the awaken dream spell so I was aware of the change in Magic flow within my room and upon sensing I took off and flew to safe area before waking up, turning off my spell and calling for Toggle the rest you know" replied Sarah..

"Your powers are indeed improving Sarah" Smiled Keela " hopefully you will be ready for the ball and tests that the court will put you through before you can freely wed my brother speaking of which did get talk to before you was forced to wake up"..

"Yes I did" Sarah answered happily " he knows that I am indeed alive and that I still love him very much I told I will come to him as soon as I'm able, Although I believe I most of scared him by telling I have to go someone trying to break in to my room but I hope he knows that I am far more powerful than I was and have people protecting me" she paused turning to face Toggle "oh and Toggle thank you for coming to my aid so quickly" and with that Sarah learnt kissed him upon his cheek " you and your brother are indeed true friends of mine and to me"

Toggle smiled big although it looked more like a grin " aww shroks it want nothing " he replied shyly..

Sarah did not tell them that she was going to visit Jarrett in 3 days she knew the princess wouldn't be happy about it but she had promised Jareth and knew he'd be wait for her that night..

Meanwhile Jareth had woken up not long after Sarah had left their dream plain and took off into the night sky as to clear is head and to think as he flew high into the sky ' oh love' he through as he flew 'you have made my heart sore to know you are alive and well, though I do wish you would of told me where you are.' Jareth remembered that not only Sarah could now turn into an Owl but had looked of the fae about her ' how is this possible my love how have you come to gain so much power and for what purpose to you train so hard' he pause thinking of what she told him before she left ' yes my love on that night I will come to you and then I hope you will tell me all you can' and with that Jareth returned back to his bed chamber and just before dawn he summoned Hoggle to him..

Hoggle grumpily pulled himself out of his bed and left his room entering the king's chambers "you called for me Jareth" he said as he closed the door behind him.

Jareth cast an extra strong protection spell before answering Hoggle " I have good news Hogbrain Sarah is alive and well she will return to us when she is able she didn't have time to tell me much but she promised she would explain all when she could"

"really you's really spoke to her she really is alive and well and will be here when she can" asked Hoggle who couldn't believe it was true as it had been years since anyone had heard from her as Hoggle looked up toward Jareth and saw him nod he asked "but how is that possible"

"I don't how she learned to do it Hogwart or how she is able to use such magic but she said she contacted me through an awaken dream, the strange thing is the spell she most of used would of called for a crystal to be made and an spell that only fae can perform placed upon it" Jareth remember what Sarah looked like upon changing from her owl form said "but indeed upon seeing her change from her owl form to her more Sarah like form I noticed she indeed looked a lot more fae than human"..

"Well she as been in this kingdom for so long now and probably eating nothing but fae food would have some effect on her though changing her into a fae than that is something" Thought Hoggle out loud..

"Yes Hogbrain you could be right and the magic I'd ready had given her before she entered the labyrinth would indeed effect such a change when mixed not only with the magic of the underground and eating fae food" replied Jareth smile he thought to himself ' yes if you have indeed eaten our food and are becoming fae then you forever be my side my love for you are no longer mortal'
