Chapter 1 : Prologue

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful young girl whose stepmother always made her stay home with the baby. And the baby was a spoiled child, and wanted everything to himself, and the young girl was practically a slave. But what no one knew is that the king of the goblins had fallen in love with the the girl, and he had given her certain powers. So one night, when the baby had be particularly cruel to her, she called on the goblins for help! "Say the right words," the goblins said, "and we'll take the baby to the castle, and you will be free!" But the girl knew, that the Goblin King would keep the baby in his castle for ever and ever and ever, and turn it into a goblin! And so the girl suffered in silence. Until one day, when she was tired from a day of housework, and she was hurt by the harsh words of her stepmother, and she could no longer stand it... "I can bear it no longer! Goblin King! Goblin King! Wherever you may be take this child of mine far away from me!"

But, the girl was a fool. She told the story to her baby brother. When the baby's crying didn't stop, the girl wished away the child to the Goblin King. She tried to fight against the King, but was forced to work her way through the Labyrinth. There she met three friends, Ludo, Hoggle, and Sir Didymos. She solved the Labyrinth with time to spare, defeating the Goblin King. "Give me the child. Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City to take back the child that you have stolen. For my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom is as great. You have no power over me." She told the King. He granted her wish, desperately wishing that the girl returned his love for her. The girl got her brother back and learned more about her life than she ever expected. And throughout her life, she still called on the goblins for help and even the Goblin King...

Sarah Williams was now Sarah Callahan. The girl she was grew into a very successful woman. She sat alone in the nursery, cradling her newborn daughter, Star, and she thought about her friends. The Goblins would visit young Star tomorrow, but Sarah wanted desperately to ensure her daughter's safety and she knew that she would need to summon the one Fae in all the Above-and Underworld that could guarantee that safety. "Goblin King, Goblin King, I wish for you to come to me!" Sarah called out. Her husband, James Callahan, was out on business and Sarah knew that he would not be around for her meeting with the man who used to love her. There was a tapping on the nursery window and Sarah carried the child to it. There was a white barn owl, tapping with its beak. She opened it. "Hello, Jareth." She said the owl. The owl flew in and in an instant, was gone. Replaced by a man with long, white blond hair and mis-matched eyes. Jareth smiled at Sarah and the child.

"Hello, Sarah." Jareth reached into his long coat and pulled out a crystal. "I have a present for the child." He stated plainly at the look of slight fear on Sarah's face. The crystal lay in the palm of his hand and then turned into a silver necklace, with a small crystal attached to it, linked to a owl charm that held them together. He handed the jewel to the mother of the girl. The newborn gazed up at Jareth's eyes, unafraid and curious. He placed a gloved hand on the child's forehead and she giggled. "Her name?"

"Star." Sarah answered. "Jareth, I need you to help me with Star. I wouldn't ask, but I feel like she has a destiny, something important and I fear that she'll be in danger when she gets older."

"Whatever you ask, Sarah, is yours. As always." Jareth said, his eyes returning to the girl he once loved.

"Be her guardian. Watch over her, keep her safe when I can't. Give her your protection. Please?" Sarah asked, looking him in the eyes, wishing that he would agree.

"Is that your wish, Sarah?" Jareth asked.

"Goblin King, I wish for your protection on my child." Sarah told him.

"Wish granted, Sarah."
