Labyrinth : Hidden Legacy

Chapter 22 Everything Changes

Was it chance or fate that the magic in Toby's possession happened to be a perfect clear prison? A trap to hold any creature until released only by the one person who placed them there! In this case, Toby.

Jareth stood inside the crystal ball upon the ground unable to get himself out.

Everyone present starred in awe at the small sized object of such an enormous event. Such an extraordinary change of events! Which could possibly change the entire kingdom forever.

A smile quickly drew upon Enara's face. Her eyes twinkled as she picked up the glass ball and saw her brother inside. A rush of power warmed up her entire body. Her shoulders straightened back and she held her head up high.

Gorridy, the royal advisor, entered the crystal room to see what had been the commotion. He froze in his place.

"I was looking for you earlier, Gorridy" Enara said. "I wanted to convince you to come with me to my new kingdom."

Gorridy bowed out of respect for the bloodline. "Dear Enara" he said with uncertainty (unaware of what had played out prior to his entrance on the scene)"Have you your own kingdom?" Gorridy inquired.

"I do now" she said. "This will work just fine for me."

Toby spoke up "Can Sarah leave?"

"I don't know Sarah. I have no need for you" Enara replied, waving her hand above her should as if brushing the humans away from her. She cared not at all who they were or where they went.

She had a new course in life and a new plan.

Toby grabbed Sarah by the hand and they left the room swiftly.

"Let's find your friends" Toby said.

"Fuhru and Samira?" Sarah asked.

"No" Toby replied. "Hoggle and Sir. Diddymus!"

Memories came up in Sarah's mind. Suddenly, she knew her friends.

                          -                             -                              -                              -

Queen Enara Vile walked into the throne room with Jareth in hand. "Assemble the court!" she demanded "A new day has dawned." She did not speak of the sun rising on a new day literally but figuratively. The sun had set on Jareth's rule and it rose with Enara herself!

Goblins scurried and found their friends to gather, to hear their new queen.

Enara sat upon the throne and imagined what she would do with big brother now.

                -                               -                                 -                                     -

Sarah and Toby ran into Sir Diddymus and the old friends greeted with a hug. "We're free to leave!" Toby declared. This made it easy to wander the castle in search of Hoggle.
As they searched Sarah looked out a window and saw Hoggle upon the castle wall. They ran to meet him there.

Hoggle was playing with a mechanical pair of wings. They were large wings attached to a vest. Wings to be worn to give someone who cannot fly on their own the blessing of flight.

"I think I found a way home" Hoggle said.

"There's only one set of wings" Sarah considered.

The inventor of the wings came upon the group. "What are you up to?!" he growled.

Toby thought about the jewel in his pocket. He pulled it out, "We wish to buy these wings!"

"Only, we have two passengers for this flight" Sarah said.

The inventor was wearing a pair of the wings! There were two sets! His were compacted down at his back which is why they did not notice it at first. He had just returned from a test flight.

"If the price is pleasing to me?" the inventor said.

Toby held out the jewel. "Is this payment enough?" he asked.

The inventor's eyes gleamed and he accepted the offer. Removing the vest he wore and walking away, jewel in hand.

Carrying the wings with them the friends left the castle to find Ludo and Ambrosius.
