Chapter 1
Life goes on?
Disclaimer: I own none of the characters of the movie "The Labyrinth" The only things that I own is my o.c's: Rikki, Maddi, Sae, Jasper, Drake, Cora/Chloe, and Luna, Saria, Amy, and Aiden or any other o.c's that might pop into my head.
Three months had passed and life in the Underground went on. Hoggle, Ludo and Sir Didymus went on with their lives as well; they couldn't visit Sarah since she was now eighteen and was no longer considered as a child. They missed her but they knew it couldn't be helped; once someone reached eighteen they could no longer see creatures like them unless it was a special circumstance that required those to come back to the Underground.
The Goblin King, Jareth ruled well but, he was never the same due to a certain girl who had captured his heart. He was a little bit kinder to his goblin subjects, he still kicked them, but not as often as he used to. One day in his castle in the Goblin City he was playing with a crystal ball while he was lounging on his throne with one leg swung over the right arm of the throne and his other leg on the ground again as he sat in thought as he tapped his riding crop against his right leg.
Suddenly, the doors to his throne room flew wide open as a pair of fair looking girls that look like they are the at the age of eighteen walked into the room they were both in an argument; one was human who has the ability to live for about 80,000 years due to the fact she was born in the Underground; and the other was a Fae, or a magical immortal being. "Rikki, there is no way in Hell that fire magic is better than ice magic!" said the thin girl that is of medium height with bluish- green eyes, long aqua blue hair that flowed freely down in pigtails to just past her shoulders. She wore white baggy shorts and a medium black T-shirt underneath ice-blue colored lightweight breast plate in the middle of her breast plate is a smaller version of Jareth's pendant which is the symbol of the goblin kingdom; with ice-blue colored shoulder armor on her shoulders with a light blue sash around her waist and she also wore socks with her knight boots that come up halfway up her calves. Also laying in its sheath on the right side of her waist was a shimmering icy blue bladed long sword. She was the body guard to the Goblin King and she was also his childhood friend, her name is Maddi (technically Maddi is 7,998 years old but she ages a lot slower than a normal Fae female and Rikki is 7,998 years old.)
"Fire magic is so better than ice magic, because you can do so much more with fire than with ice!" said the other girl who is a little taller than Maddi, She has brown hair that reaches to her shoulders and she has dark green eyes and slightly pale skin; her name is Rikki she is a master fire mage and also a close friend of King Jareth and Maddi. Maddi playfully shook her head knowing that she and Rikki could argue forever and both of them would never win the argument.
Maddi turns to face her king, she sees her king/friend playing with one of his crystals and said, "My lord, please stop playing with that crystal ball, I know you have better things to do then sit there and lounge." King Jareth looked up and sighed a little irritated. Maddi noticed that he looked depressed and that he was deep in thought. "Maddi, I cannot help it…I cannot stop thinking of Sarah..." he said. Rikki asked with a growing curiosity asked, "Sarah? That runner, from three months ago who defeated the labyrinth?" Although it has been three years for the Aboveground in the Underground it had only been three months. That is because time in the Underground flowed differently there than it did up in the Aboveground. She began to grow a little concern for her king since this was the first time during his 8,000 years of life that he was distraught over the girl who had only come to labyrinth when she accidently wished her baby brother Toby away to be taken away by the goblins.
She had never seen him as the type to fall for a mortal girl. But then again, Maddi had felt a strong power that came in waves which she felt because she also lived in the labyrinth. When Sarah left her victory over the Goblin King was known throughout the labyrinth and its inhabitants. Maddi sensed that there was something that sets Sarah apart from the previous runners who ran the labyrinth before her.
Wanting to break the silence, Rikki said with concern, "Um... Jareth forgive me for saying this but maybe you should forget about her." Jareth looked at his friend and gave her a deathly glare, and said coldly, "What?" Rikki slightly cringing in fear quickly backed herself up and said; "Uh, Well there's a good chance that she might come back. There is also a good chance that she might come back. Maddi interrupts the conversation and said, "In my view it's a 60% chance of her returning and, a 40% chance of her not returning". After a few minutes Jareth smiled slyly as he said, "Well then my friends, I guess I will have to find a way to increase the percentage of her returning back to where she belongs." Maddi not quite understanding her king, asked; "How are you going to that? Her brother is three years old now, so he's no longer a baby anymore." Jareth smiled mischievously as he said; "Maddi there is more than one way to get people to come to the Underground."
