Ch19 The Dream Room
Sure enough when Cara spun around she was face to face with Morgana who promptly hugged her tightly.
"Hi honey, how's it going?" Morgana said giving Cara a squeeze, almost making it hard for her to breathe.
"I'm fine, but I could use some air," Cara said trying to squirm out of her arms.
"Oops sorry," Morgana released her hold on Cara smiling at her. It was odd how Cara felt so used to having Morgana pop up and attack her with hugs even though they'd just met a few hours ago, maybe it was cause she looked like Niki. It was then Cara noticed that both Morgana and herself seemed to be floating and had a glow around them, *Maybe that's why I can see in here.*
"Yes that's one reason," Morgana said still smiling.
Cara blinked, "You can read minds?"
"Maybe."
Cara mentally sighed, Morgana was much more random then she'd have ever thought.
"The other reason," Morgana said taking Cara's hand, "Is because this is the dream room, nothing is hidden here."
"Dream room?" Cara asked, and as if in response the room flashed white causing Cara to cover her eyes at how bright the light was.
When she lowered her hand she was amazed at what she saw, a huge room with a vaulted ceiling, intricate pillars, and stain glass windows. But what was truly amazing was at the end of the room there was a mountain top with a few scattered trees beside a lake, the water in the lake was flowing into a single waterfall that fell into a constellation of stars and slowly formed into a crystal ball.
"It's beautiful," Cara said quietly.
Morgana was still smiling at her and nodded, "Yes it is, more so then it has been in years."
As Morgana spoke the crystal ball that had been forming seemed to break free of the water and became a floating bubble.
"Is this where Jareth gets his crystals?" car asked watching the bubble float away.
"Yes and no, Jareth can create his own but he does use these from time to time since they are people's dreams," Morgana said catching another bubble that had been created, as soon as it touched her hand it hardened into a crystal again. She held it out to Cara, "Look."
Cara looked into it and a scene began to take shape, she was surprised to see her friend from school appear dressed in a Victorian era gown singing on stage. "Makes sense," Cara remarked, her friend had always told her she wanted to be an opera singer.
Morgana tossed the crystal into the air letting it become a bubble again and float away.
"This place is lovely but how did I get here?" Cara asked remembering where she'd just been, "And where are the others?"
"What do you mean others?" Morgana questioned with a confused look on her face.
"My friends. Hoggle, Ludo, Sir Didymus, and Sarah."
"You met them? You met Sarah?" Morgana sounded completely shocked to hear those names, she placed her hand on her chin as if in deep thought, "How could you meet her, what is he trying to pull," she murmured to herself.
"What do you mean?" Cara asked becoming confused and worried.
Morgana looked at Cara and sighed, "You couldn't have met Sarah. She was here 13 years ago."
