Ever since Sarah had faced him down, Jareth found himself bored with his role as the Goblin King. No one else had his girl's spark, her raw determination, and her unique charisma that had won over some of his own citizens. They were dull, insipid, witless, and, worst of all, repetitious. They could do nothing but whimper through their pathetic attempts before falling pitifully, helpless before his labyrinth.
He really didn't want to play the Goblin King anymore. It was a startling realization, because the role had kept him happily occupied for hundreds of years in the time Before Sarah (and she had such an affect on him that he needs to differentiate his time by her). Now, though, it seems so… ridiculous.
Jareth sighed in disgust as he watched yet another wimpy teenager frustrated by the very entrance. He threw the crystal against the wall, watching it shatter the way his dream had when Sarah faced him down five years previously.
Why couldn't his life be interesting again?
