This is a direct sequel from Dreams of Destiny where we start off with the Underground wedding. This story can stand alone, but I do suggest reading that fic first. Anyways, I hope you'll enjoy the ride and on we go!

Once again, Sarah was in her beautiful wedding dress though this time, she was marrying Jareth not as her husband only, but as her sovereign and he as hers.

Prior to the actual wedding, it was customary for faes in the Underground that the families of the bride and groom meet for tea. As Jareth had no family of his own, he invited Sarah's three companions as his family, much to Sarah's delight.

"Darling, you don't have to do this." She reassured him. "Truly. You don't have to invite my own friends just to make me happy."

Jareth held her hands in both of his. "Your friends have become family to me in many ways, and I am closer to them than most anyone. Ludo is sweet and kind, always willing to give me hugs when you're not around. Sir Didymus was chosen as a knight for a reason. He was stationed at the Bog only for your run and has been a good confident in secrets for the kingdom. Hoggle and I didn't get along for the longest time, but now, we are able to tease one another and I am lucky he has forgiven me of being so cruel to him in the past."

So to tea they went. As was customary, Jareth poured the tea for his bride first, then Robert as the oldest (and her real father), Karen as her stepmother, and Toby as the youngest. Sarah did the same to first Jareth, Ludo, Hoggle, and Sir Didymus as they just decided to go with age.

After the tea, the bride and groom were separated to their perspective chambers. Since they were King and Queen, they were dressed and taken to Goblin City separately, their families not seeing them until the ceremony.

They arrived at a field, surrounded by a river and many guests, all from different ranks and all of different races. It was a breathtaking sight, to see everyone who wanted to wish their king and queen a happy marriage.

"Citizens of the Labyrinth, today is an important day indeed." The officiator started. "For the first time in the Goblin Kingdom, we will have not just one but two reigning monarchs marrying today. Both have made solemn oaths to be king and queen of this land, and today, will be making paths to treasure each other."

He held his hands out and took Sarah and Jareth's hands, binding them together. "To be husband and wife is a lifelong journey, one that takes courage and love. Do you both promise to love and cherish each other, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, for better for worse?"

"Yes." Both answered with a smile.

"You may recite your vows to each other, my King and Queen."

Vows in the Underground were considered optional as not everyone was marrying for love. In a show of passion, unity, and strength, Sarah and Jareth read their vows together.

Sarah decided that she would go first, just as she did at her Above wedding. Her vows here were almost exactly the same, but a little more detail added. "Jareth, since I was young, I so wanted a Prince Charming to sweep me off my feet and carry me away from my problems. Then, I find that I wanted to be an independent person as I was scared to fall in love after I ran the labyrinth and became the champion. Instead, I find someone much better, someone who doesn't take away my problems, but helps me fight through them. I found a king who was not a perfect person, but one to accept me for who I am and made my life worth living. You are strong and brave, but kind and gentle at the same time. To be able to be open to someone, to cherish him in a way that I cherish you is one of life's most beautiful gifts. I thank my stars every day that you would be with me even as the world falls down. I promise to do the same. I love you, and I give myself to be your wife."

Most vows by two heads of state were not so loving and sweet as most did not marry for love. Everyone saw the example these two set of being independent and taking care of duty, but also not sacrificing love if they could help it.

Jareth of course, returned his vow to his new wife.

"Sarah, as you well know, I did not find much affection in my life until I met you and your family. It almost felt wrong, me latching on to someone who shouldn't have to put up with my loveless past. But then, I realized that I had found someone special. Someone who would truly care for me. You pushed me to be a better, kinder person. You helped me to be open and to even go to therapy together alone and as a couple.

"Sometimes, the way forward is the way back. I had to retrace my steps to find you again, someone who had a piece of my heart. By retracing those steps, I found that I didn't just crave affection. I craved YOU as a person. And I cannot wait to spend the rest of forever with you. I give myself to you as your husband, now and forever."

The officiator tied a thin rope around their wrists and started the incantations. As was also customary, the audience would lend a bit of their magic to also help "tie the knot." It glowed, and finally, the King and Queen were officially married.

Jareth and Sarah made sure to spend time with their subjects as much as they could. Carving time, they met with the other heads of states and accepted gifts from every land. They didn't ask for any ordinary coupe gifts, insisting that they had everything they need. Instead, they requested for supplies for their people.

The Goblin Kingdom was doing well, but it never hurt for them to have more supplies as there were wished-aways from all places, not just from Above. Jareth and Sarah made sure hey set up top notch schools for the children and a good home as well.

But for now, they just stood politely, bowing and letting many kiss their hands (thank god Jareth convinced Sarah to wear gloves for this) during the reception.

After all of that nonsense (as Jareth called it), he and Sarah danced as the stars of the show. No one could argue that this was the most beautiful sight anyone has ever seen. Two graceful beings, dancing in the grand ballroom, twirling in perfect synchronization.

When that was done, Jareth took Sarah for a surprise. "My love, come here!"

Sarah furrowed her eyebrows, and walked through a portal. Honestly, they didn't need a portal, but with Jareth, everything was for dramatic effect.

"Oh Jareth!"

She gasped at her surprise. Beautiful peach blossoms lined the edges of the garden. Rose bushes and tulips in between and a lovely island was in the middle of this garden, surrounded by a nice moat.

There was a small rowboat to take them to the island, in which Jareth took his wife's hand and settled her in the boat. Smiling daintily, Sarah ran her hand in the beautiful, sparkling water.

In the middle of the island was another peach blossom tree where the couple sat down and marveled at the beauty of the garden. "I can't tell you how hard it was to keep this a secret my love." He ran a finger down Sarah's arm. "Oh, how I love you so."

Sarah wrapped her arms around him, pressing her lips to his gently before giving a playful bite on his bottom lip. "Jareth. You are just amazing! Thank you."

The king said nothing, just basking in how his bride was absolutely glowing. In the heat of the moment, he moved her over and reverently began to slip her shoes off, never taking his eyes off her.

"Oh no Jareth." She said half seriously, half playfully. "My feet aren't clean and they probably smell. Besides, we're outside." She knew that shoes weren't the only things he would be taking off with that kind of look in his eyes.

"Shh." He told her, still going slow. He ran a finger up and down each of her ankles. "Just let me. You are so beautiful, my love."

And so she let him. Of course, he wasted no time in grabbing her close and kissing her. His hands traveled up her hands to her arms, then to her shoulders, breathing in her scent, that unique smell that was Sarah's.

Sarah grabbed a fistful of his long hair and pulled his head back so she could have access to his throat. Jareth LOVED neck kisses, she found. And a few kisses just made him melt instantly.

As Jareth was enjoying he delicious kisses, he heard her take a sharp breath, one that he was not used to hearing when they made love. His instincts alert, he pulled back to look at her. "Sarah?"

In the split of a second, he went from beginning to ravishing his wife on their wedding day to panicking. Sarah's face was deathly pale and blue. Her eyes were large and her hands grasping at the front of his shirt, trying to breathe. She was suffocating, and Jareth could feel her heart racing faster than it should in her rising panic.

He instinctively looked around and saw a snake. It was a golden color, small like a garden snake slithering away from where the couple was. He lifted Sarah's skirt up and saw two tiny bite marks at her ankles.

In a fit of rage, he threw a crystal at the snake, catching it in a dome and used another crystal to call the castle's private physician.

"ARTHUR!"

The man in the crystal turned around, instantly ready. He wasted no time in pleasantries as he knew that when Jareth was this angry. "Your Majesty! Where are you, Sire?"

"The Secret Garden! The queen has been bitten by a snake and is convulsing!" He was even more in shock as Sarah descended into more violent episode. Jareth normally had a good head in emergencies, but this wasn't just a soldier at war. This was HIS WIFE during their honeymoon!

Arthur was instantly at his side, but right as he was about to check on Sarah, she stopped moving. Completely.

"No." Jareth whispered. "ARTHUR DO SOMETHING!"

Arthur felt around Sarah's wrists for a pulse. But even as he did, he knew that he was too late, and in vain. With tears in his eyes full of sadness and reverence, he closed Sarah's eyes.

The Goblin Queen was no more.

IMPORTANT: Okay before ANYONE freaks out, yes Sarah is dead and SPOILER she will come back and everything will be fine. I feel I have to say that because everyone will leave if they think she's dead. I can't leave her dead guys like I wrote a beautiful fic of how she and Jareth came to love each other, I can't just let it end here. This is based on a Greek myth, care to guess what it is? Leave a review! I will make sure to put what the myth is either at the end of the story or wherever it seems obvious. Please do constructive ones and not just like ONE mistake. If you want to point out a grammar or spelling issue, please at least let me know how the writing itself is and if you're enjoying the fic.
