The King And His Queen.
Jareth stood outside a large window that had intricate carvings all over it Staring out at the night sky the stars where especially bright tonight like they where giving him there blessing.
He was wearing a white poet shirt with gold and silver at the cuffs and neck, His trademark pendant hung around his neck. A gold waistcoat with silver in the middle held his shirt in place. He Wore white gloves and silver breaches with gold stitching down the side tucked into His trademark Black Boots. He also wore a gold and silver cape with feathers on the end and at the collar.
He smiled in anticipation for tonight was an important night. Tonight he would have a queen and she was beautiful.
Inside the great hall banners of gold and white decorated the walls and on the back of the chairs. In the centre was an isle buy a large window where there were two oak posts. A half wall that was about waste high made the single central isle look like two.
There was a large podium at the end also decorated in gold's and white's. The room was set for a wedding but not just any wedding the Wedding Of The Goblin King of the labyrinth to The Midnight of the Midnight Kingdome.
Lily stood by a large window with the same markings as Jareths but in a different wing of the castle, She was also staring out at the stars a smile on her silver lips.
The markings around her eyes where also outlined in silver to compliment her lips her outfit consisted of a gold gown with intricate silver embroidery down the bodice which flowed down and flared out at the bottom with a slit ether side to show of her long legs.
She also wore silver sandals with a 5 inch heel with white feathers at the buckles and a gold cape with silver and feathers at the end.
Her hair was piled on her head with gold and silver feathers in it along with a few beads and pins.
She looked out at the brightest star in the sky with a smile that widened when it glowed brighter it was time.
Simultaneously Jareth and lily climbed up in there perspective window frame and leaped from them morphing into there owl forms and souring into the night.
Everyone was sat in there appropriate seats waiting the arrival of the bride and groom with bated breath. It had been century's since jareth took the throne and they where delighted that finally he would finally be taking a Queen.
Jareths parents stood by the alter with priest and as the Music began to play and everyone stood from there seats, Two owls flew in the large window and landed on the post's. They hooted and bowed low to Jareths parents and they in turn bowed to the owls before they morphed into an owl and a dove and flew towards them. Jareth and Lily took flight and flew towards the other birds touching wings before flying past them. Once at the alter Lily and Jareth morphed into there true forms and turned to watch Jareths parents morphing into there true forms at the end of the isle.
Jareths father held Jareths gold crown in his hands and his wife held the silver crown that would be Lily's in her hands. The priest stood before Jareth and Lily and took there hands and made Jareth and Lily intertwined there fingers over the fence before speaking.
"We are gathered here tonight to wed Jareth the goblin king with Lily the midnight" He bowed low to them and in turn Lily and Jareth bowed to him.
"Jareth your vows" The priest said with a nod.
Jareth smiled at Lily he couldn't't believe it he was finally marrying her. She looked so beautiful in her dress. he took a breath and began his vows.
"I come here today to offer you my life in exchange for yours. To love and protect you in sickness and in health. To cherish you and never leave you as long as I live. I will share everything I have with you. I will honer and defend you from any danger for I am yours completely." Jareth finished by looked into her eyes mouthing I love you.
She smiled and mouthed the same back before glancing at Jareths mother as she wiped at her eyes trying not to cry. The priest turned to lily "please lily Sing Your Vows" He smiled.
Lily smiled and repeated what Jareth had said as she turned to face him. The priest stepped in front of them to address them.
"With great honer I implore you to walk down this isle and to join at the end no longer separated but as one" The priest then disappeared.
Lily and Jareth turned around swapping hands before walking down the isle the priest now standing at the end waiting for them.
Jareth looked at Lily and smiled as she looked at him. Nether took there eyes of the other as they walked down the isle. When they reached the end they released there hands and knelt at the end where The Priest and Jareths parents stood.
The priest took a step back to allow Jareths parents room as Jareths father placed the gold crown on Jareth head, Jareths mother placed the silver one on Lily's head.
"Please Stand." the priest spoke softly. Jareth and lily stood and faced each other holding hands.
"By the power of the seele court I give you King Jareth of The Goblin City and the Labyrinth and his new Queen Lily The Midnight of The Midnight Kingdome." The crowed stood in the seats and cheered "You may kiss your queen." The Priest finished.
Jareth smiled before pulling Lily against him and sealing her lips with his. Lily gasped not expecting such an abrupt action and fell against him with her arms around his neck. She moaned into his mouth when he nibbled her lower lip before pulling back.
They face the crowed and flinched when the goblins emptied a bucket of rice on there heads from the rafters making them both chuckle
Lily smiled seeing her mother walking towards them. Luciana smiled at Jareth and hugged him. "Congratulations my new son in law." Jareth hugged her back. "Thank you Luciana im so glad you could make it." Jareth smiled as Lily hugged his father before she walked off to find something to drink.
"Well someone's happy." Came a familiar voice. Jareth turned on his heel to see none other then Salus Standing before him. "Salus my god I thought you where dead. We buried you??" Jareth just stood there to shocked to move
"It was by luck really. Luciana buried me in my birthplace in my home soil. I simply entered the dead sleep and within a few days I was restored. Though I will admit it was a bit daunting digging myself out of my own grave." Salus chuckled "Im so happy your alive does lily know?" Jareth asked excitedly looking around the room for her.
Salus shook his head "I thought I would surprise her, Call it a wedding gift if you will. Could you get her to meet me at the fountain in the courtyard." Salus said already backing away from Jareth to the door where Luciana was waiting for him. Jareth nodded with a smile before going to get lily.
He snuck up on her and covered her eyes "Guesse who" He purred in her ear "Jareth of course who else would it be." Lily giggled turning in his arms Jareth smiled and kissed her on the cheek "Come I have a present for you." Jareth took her hand and covered her eyes with his other hand before leading her out into the courtyard where her parents where waiting.
"Ok im going to uncover your eyes now." He chuckled "why the secrecy" Lily giggled as he uncovered her eyes which immediately widened.
"Father!" she laughed before leaping at him and giving him the biggest hug she could "Easy." He chuckled Lily blinked tears falling from her eyes.
"Im so happy" Lily cried Jareth pulled her from her father with a smile. "Come on we have a celebratory ball to go to and your mother and father need to reacquaint themselves with each other" Jareth winked at Salus Coursing Lily to slap at him playfully. "Honestly Jareth don't be so crude." Lily smiled softly and blushed when Jareth licked his lips and kissed her.
"I thought you like it when I talked dirty" He purred running his tongue over the shell of her pointed ear. lily went bright red then before she turned around to face him.
"Come on lets go." she chuckled linking her arm in his. The couple then left Luciana and Salus alone in the courtyard and headed for the ball room where no doubt the guest where wandering where there new king and queen had got to.
