This land was an unusual one, and yet, the way it appeared at first glance reminded Cimorene of her home in Linderwall. It had been years since she'd visited the castle where she'd grown up, and yet, every carved pillar, every piece of fabric, reminded her of her former home. Not that that had given her much hope, as familiar surroundings could only do so much. She'd found her quarters easily enough, and though they left something to be desired, they would do until she got out of this place. There was no thought of adapting or succumbing to her fate, no. She was going home. It was only a matter of time.

Unfortunately, every spell in her admittedly limited arsenal was useless. Either the magic didn't work her, or it wouldn't penetrate whatever the hold was on this place to reach the Enchanted Forest and her friends. She wished, not for the first time, that Morwen were here. The witch always had an idea, and even if she didn't, she was a highly practical person would could make lemonade out of the most rotten lemons. Lost and frustrated, Cimorene left her crown behind, not needing the extra attention, and then made her way down to the stables. Perhaps she'd go for a ride, though she certainly wasn't attired properly, but mostly, she was looking for a place to be alone, to achieve a bit of centering that she needed, so that she could think of a way to get herself out of this mess.

Her fingers brushed along the mane of a handsome chestnut stallion, and her normally clipped voice was soft and comforting to the beast, who seemed a bit rattled, not at her presence, but at something else. Cimorene wondered if he had been ripped from his home just as she had. "Something will happen," she cooed, and the horse nuzzled her jaw, making her smile, just as she heard a step behind her, and whirled around, her hand ripping her sword from the scabbard and her eyes flashing in collected panic.

Healer narrowed her eyes, her upper lip lifting in a snarl. "It doesn't end, does it?" she snarled, beginning to pace. "Always someone on a power trip, sitting on their golden throne thinking they control everything." Her voice rose and fell as she paced, and it was very obvious she wasn't talking to anyone in particular. "Not this time" she spat. "I won't let someone do this. Not now, not to me."

She spun and pointed a finger at Sara, her eyes blazing with barely contained anger. "You've been here before. How did you get out?"

	Cimorene nodded and mirrored the Healer's irritation. "It's the way of the world, I believe. No matter which world we're discussing," she muttered under her breath, shaking her head. Then she looked to Sarah for any kind of information, any kind of help. There had to be some way to get home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I told you, you need to take on one of Jareth's challenges. In this case, he'll probably have you make your way through his Labyrinth and to his Castle beyond the Goblin City. Of course, you'll need to complete it in a certain number of hours. Also, it changes as you make your way through it. Some walls are invisible, there are monsters, and not to mention the Bog of Eternal Stench." The name gave away what horrors awaited you there, just thinking about the place almost made her wretch.

Sarah looked towards the ground thoughtfully, "I wouldn't rush to take him on just yet. If he's dragging more people to this place, its not right to leave anyone who doesn't want to be here behind." Besides there was strength in numbers, and Sarah knew from experience if she hadn't had her friends with her, she probably would have failed.
