The Other Side of the Leaf
Disclaimer: I don't own it...yet! Not really but maybe next life time.
You know her story. Now know mine.
I am assuming that if you are reading this you already know the story about Sarah's journey through the Goblin King Jareth's labyrinth to save her brother Toby. If you know the story then you know who I am. Not too many people wonder about who I am they just know me as the little goblin that had a peculiar obsession with jewelry. Yes, you have probably guessed my identity now. I am Hoggle. I am the goblin who at first seemed to be the mean goblin that didn't care about anything but himself and had a strange obsession with killing fairies, but there is much more than meets the eye. I was once as human as you are now and like Sarah, many years before her story I was drawn into the labyrinth to try and rescue someone who I loved as well. So if you are at all interested than you might as well just sit down and listen to my tale. I know it's not much but, well, maybe you will come out of it with a little understanding of why I am the way I am.
Where to begin? Well I guess it would only be proper to start before all the mess about Sarah ever began. My story starts long before Sarah ever had a little brother, in fact I could probably honestly say that it started long before she was even born. I was human. I grew up in a nice family. At least I believe that they were nice. Hmm. Well, you try to remember details of events that happened over a hundred years ago and then tell me how much you remember! Yes, I had a mother and father who loved and cared for me. I lived somewhere in the United States but I can't recall anymore the exact location. Not like it still exists. But anyway that detail is of little importance. All you need to know is that I was human lived with a mother and father and now I need to fill in the gap between then and Sarah's journey. At that time I was know as John.
