Ch 1
It was twenty years in the Underground since Sarah had wished away and rescued her brother Toby from Jareth the Goblin King. After Sarah refused him, he felt like he couldn't steal children anymore. One day after realising he was getting old, he needed a heir.
So he decided to create a child of his own by magic. He decided to call him Blaze…
It was Blaze's eighteen birthday and it was pretty important to Jareth because this was the day he would hand over the Goblin City to Blaze. Blaze had blonde hair, two sets of golden eyes and magic like his father but he didn't have Jareth's cruelness or spite. He wasn't in the castle at the moment because he'd snuck out.
Unknown to Jareth, Blaze had made friends with some of the creatures that inhabited the Labyrinth. His best friends were Ludo, Sir Didymus and Hoggle. They could tell he wasn't like Jareth. He was at the Bog of Eternal Stench. Hoggle was complaining of the stench again. Blaze then got an idea. He stared at the bog and focused hard. Suddenly the stink was replaced by sweet smells of enchanted flowers. "Smells good!" Ludo exclaimed. Sir Didymus saw sadness in the goblin boy's eyes. "What's wrong noble sir? You seem sad." He asked as Ambrouis licked the boy's feet trying to cheer him up. "It's… just my dad. Later he's giving the entire realm to me but he'll expect me to steal babes and I don't want to do that." He told him. "But what'll you do if you don't steal babes?" Hoggle asked nervously. "I have a plan. If father doesn't understand my decision not to follow in the great Jareth's footsteps, I'm going to the human realm. I've heard good things about it." Blaze answered him quietly. "I'd better go before my father comes searching for me." he said as he faded away like a ghost.
The sun set as Blaze walked into the dining room. His father was sitting at the head of the table drinking wine. "Hello son." Jareth said in his voice he used to sweet talk mortals. Blaze then sat down facing his father. His heart was pounding furiously as he prepared to tell his father his decision. He hoped he wouldn't be too upset. "Dad I was doing some thinking and I... sort of decided not to be the next Goblin King. Stealing human children usn't my thing." Blaze said to him. He then heard his father laugh. "Very funny boy now tell me your decision." Jareth said in a sharp vocal tone. "That was my decision. I'm sorry." he told him as he got out and left the room but as he was about to open the door and walk ouy when Jareth turned his head around to face him. "It was a waste of magic creating you if this is the way you're acting." he said coldly.
"What do you mean created me with magic?" Blaze asked confused. "I got worried over being old so I needed a heir but I couldn't give birth to one because I had no wife so I used my magic and brought you to life through my dream of ruling the Goblin City forever but it waa a nistake." Jareth explained coldly. "You liar!" Blaze yelled as he ran out and went to his room. He then packed up his stuff and opened a portal to Earth. He took one last look at his father's castle before he went through it. "Goodbye Dad forever. I hope you got what you wanted." he said as he walked through the portal and it vanished. But Hoggle had heard him and was angry. Jareth never cared about anybody but himself and hurt those who bothered him like him or Blaze. "I'm sorry he didn't listen to ya. I hope life in the mortal world is better than this dump." he said as he walked back to the Bog of Eternal Stench. Sir Didymus was wauting for him but was worried when he saw the ssdness in Hoggle's eyes. "It's Blaze. His father shot down his idea so he's gone to the mortal world. Jareth's really done it this time refusing Blaze's wish." he said sadly to him. "Blaze gone? Ludo miss Blaze." Ludo told them. Sir Didymus nodded. "Yes we do but he's in the mortal world." he told him quietly as he looked into the bog's murky water. "Can't we go there too? What if he needs us?" Hoggle said worried.
"I'm afraid we can't go there. Blaze'll blend in there because he doesn't look like a goblin, he looks like a mortal the way Jareth does. If we went there, people would freak and Jareth would have our heads!" Sir Didymus replied firmly. But Hoggle didn't want to listen to Didymus's negative view. This made him think of when Blaze had first met them after they rescued him from those insane Fireys. "I don't care what he says. I'm going to Earth to be with my friend!" he said as he opened a portal and went through. On Earth he and Blaze would be safe because Jareth couldn't go there unless somebody was wished away but nobody had said those immortal words in a long time. Blaze sighed sadly as he got onto a bus. He got many stares at him from people because he still was wearing his goblin robes. He ignored them and sat down. A young teen girl was sitting beside him. "Is it okay if I sit here?" he asked her softly. She turned to look at him in awe. She was slender bodied, had long black hair and wore black clothes. "Wow! You look just the Goblin King! Of course you can sit here. My name's Mel. What's yours?" she told him excitedly. He smiled at her. In her eyes he saw no mocking or fear at him. Why wasn't she afraid? "My name is Blaze. I'm sort of a prince where I come from." he said smiling at her. As the bus moved along through the town, they kept talking. But Blaze felt sad as her stop arrived and she got off. "I'll see you around, okay Blaze?" she said as she pulled out her symbol cane and got off the bus. He sighed sadly as he got off too and walked into the park.
He saw children playing and it made him shiver. It made him think of Jareth, his fake father. He then lay on the grass looking up at the sky. "I like Mel and I want to get to know her but what am I supposed to say to her? Hi I'm Blaze. I come from the Underground, I'm the Goblin Prince and my false father is the Goblin King and steals innocent kids? She'd freak or never want to se me again. But why was she using a cane as she got off the bus?" he brooded. But his thoughts were broken by a flash of light...
