Sarah sat on her own by the lake in her garden. She lazily let her hand dangle in the water, swishing it back and forth. Her thoughts lingered on this evening's visit to the Goblin City library.

The visit had been quite pleasant, if Sarah forgot about the library goblins. The goblins stared at her like they knew something about her. She tried to ignore them, but their constant staring was too creepy to ignore. Jareth hadn't seemed to notice any strange behavior in the library goblins. Goblins aside, the library was impressive; it was larger than any other library Sarah had ever seen. Sarah had planned to return to the library and explore the history section, so that she may learn more about the labyrinth.

Sarah slowly sat up, feeling her power over the land she was standing on. She could feel the push of Jareth's labyrinth on the walls of her garden. Expanding her powers past the walls seemed to be impossible to Sarah. But she knew that there were goblins that felt otherwise. Sarah recalled what some had said during her meeting earlier.

"A small crack in one of the walls should start it." a small goblin with large glasses had said.

"Yes, but it must be of a certain size, it cannot be too big or too little, just the right size to let Jareth's power start to slowly become yours," another goblin replied.

"How slowly?" Sarah asked.

"Slow enough that the Goblin King will not notice, but fast enough that your power soon rival his," the second goblin answered.

"But how much good will that do me if I can only use magic in these walls?" Sarah asked these two goblins, who were the most knowledgeable in magic.

"That's the beauty of the crack," the goblin with glasses spoke up again, "with a crack in the wall the magic will be able to flow and you can use your magic outside of these walls,"

"Are you sure that's all it will take? A crack?" Sarah asked them doubtfully.

"And practice, you must practice trying to use your magic, both inside and once the crack is made, outside,"

Sarah recalled how those were the most helpful goblins that had attended the meeting she had called. Others had shown up to voice their dislike of Jareth, but they did not have many good suggestions. Fortunately there was work for them. The two goblins had divided up labor, some were to find books about the magic of the labyrinth and bring them to them, so that they may calculate the size of the crack. While others were sent to practice making precise cracks into rocks, because no mistakes could be made on this endeavor.

Sarah's garden was quite now, the goblins had long dispersed and left her with her own thoughts. How fast was she taking this? Her brain kept telling her to slow down and think things through, but it was too late. Sarah had been swept up in a current of revolution. Now she could not back down, she had to bring down the Goblin King. After all what could she do to change it, say "Sorry everyone, but I think we started too fast, let's just forget about this whole thing"? No, even if Sarah moved down from her position of leadership, this revolution would happen anyways, the goblins were ready for a change. And Sarah was going to be that change, whether she liked it or not.

Sarah slowly moved from her spot on the grass and made her way towards the castle. Even if she was leading a revolution against him, she still had to pretend for a while to be compliant to the Goblin King. She would stay in his castle and be his guest, until the day her powers become more powerful than his.


NOTE: It has been over a year since I updated this. Hope you haven't given up on me yet. I've been caught up with college and such. I don't see it getting any better, but I really do want to have the story finished.
