Return to the Labyrinth
By:
Danielle McBride and KitanaHana Dairyu
Prologue:
It has been three long years since Danielle journeyed to the Underground and solved the Labyrinth. She had wished her younger sister away to the handsome Goblin King in her frustration and had to complete the maze to win her freedom. With her friend KitanaHana (Tana) Dairyu at her side and a unique band of creatures to guide her, Danielle defeated the Goblin King.
However, during the course of her adventure, Danielle found herself falling in love with Jareth, the Goblin King. Though she knew it would only hurt her in the end, she allowed her heart to entertain the idea of possibly being with him. But when it came time for the final confrontation, Danielle found that, no matter how much she hated her, she could not trade her sister's freedom for her own selfish happiness. Thus, she was forced to say the words to defeat Jareth and they were returned home.
Unfortunately, during Danielle's adventure, Jareth had broken a large number of rules regarding her journey in the Labyrinth. The Underground Council, four unknown fae who kept the law in the Underground and could even control it's king, punished him harshly: they took away his owl form, the only way he could cross the barrier into Danielle's world. They also closed the portal found within Danielle's mirror and any possible path she could use to return, thus cutting her off and forcing the powers Jareth had given her into dormancy.
Kitana, unlike her friend and 'princess', had decided to remain in the Underground with Lord Aiden, King Jareth's older brother, and was transformed into a half-breed fae, keeping her appearance of a young 18 year old woman. She had spent the time learning about Aiden's lands and learning her soon-to-be-role of Lady Kitana, next to her man. She had also spent time consoling Jareth in his heartache, being the only one to truely know Danielle and her feelings for the heart-broken king. She was sure to keep him from destroying his castle and the rest of the Underground due to his anger and depression. Her powers have developed into a strong telekinetic ability and she is currently researching for any possible means to bring her friend home, where she belongs.
Now Danielle is twenty-one and a junior in college studying drama. She has done everything in her power to to escape her shattered home life. After her adventure, Danielle had fallen into a horrible depression, making herself an easy target for her sister's retaliation and revenge. Her parents grew to hate and ignore their oldest daughter, with help from Jennifer. It was a true miracle that she hadn't been institutionalized, though Jennifer tried many times. Danielle is alone and miserable... However, unknown to her, things in the Underground are about to change...
