Thread: Return to the Labyrinth (Lila Lupin & vmpdevil101)

Cydney sighed as he spoke, yes it was true that she'd only been taken from her true home once, but to her it felt like twice. Stripped of her memories and placed in a world she didn't know, alone and afraid, only knowing her name, and not remembering much of anything else. She was left in that world for ten years. She found a new family, and new friends, but soon after that she was taken from them as well. She was told that the life she'd been living was nothing more than a well orchestrated lie. She had to relearn everything, who she was, her family, her friends, her culture. Hey, at least you can remember the people you love. Cessaly spoke, her words getting her disapproving glances from both Cydney and Andon, though for different reasons. You at least know where you really belong, but Cydney...She may not say it out loud, but she will ALWAYS feel out of place. Cessaly added before he left. Andon watched as the gates closed. He doesn't get it, does he. If Jareth was going to teach him then he wouldn't have just thrown him into it like this with no teachings what so ever. Andon said as he prepared to open a portal. The man is selfish. He already got what he wanted, he has no more use for him, or any of us. He added as the portal opened. It doesn't really matter, we aren't welcome here, just like he isn't welcome in ours. Cessaly added. Owww....what was that for? She whined as Cydney elbowed her in the side. She glared playfully at Cydney as they all entered the portal together. You need to learn to keep your mouth shut, Cessaly. Cydney said with a frustrated sigh. I've told you both before that words can often get us in to more trouble than actions sometimes can. She was unhappy, more with the fact that Cessaly had mentioned anything about her feeling out of place. It was true, yes. It was very hard for her to feel as though she belonged. She'd been part of the human world for ten years before she was brought back, and before that she couldn't remember a thing about her life before except for her name. It was easy to feel out of place when the things you 'remembered' had been mostly taught to you. She hadn't wanted Toby to know that though. That was something personal, something she'd have preferred to keep to herself. The trip home was silent for them. Cessaly wasn't speaking because she knew she'd upset Cydney, Andon felt like he had nothing to really speak about, and Cydney was thinking. This meeting had been a failure plain and simple. She certainly hoped Toby's new kingdom could survive long enough for him to learn the truth. Meanwhile a young woman with long blue hair was running around in an underground part of the Goblin King's castle. Syllaby had been Jareth's court mage for a long, long time. She was frantic as she went of the results of the observatory spell she'd cast on the meeting place for the heir and Princess Cydney. She had to tell Jareth, he couldn't have known what was really going on here. Unfortunately for her he'd already left with his wife and placed her young brother in charge. She couldn't help but feel a sense of duty though, and she had to tell Jareth the truth about what was going on. He was a kinder king than the people of the Dream Lands had been led to believe. Syllaby took in a deep breath as she made up her mind. She clenched her fists and closed her eyes as she spoke her next words. I wish that the Goblin King would come and listen to what I have to say.
