Chapter 2

The throne room was cold. It was far from empty though. Goblins sat and laid about making merry. They may not celebrate the mortal holiday, but that didn't mean the goblins didn't get extra drunk this time of year. He would do his best to stay out of the way and fix all the disasters they were going to cause.

There were countless other things he would rather be doing. Well, maybe not. There wasn't much he could do. He could fly over the Labyrinth, but that would not be that interesting. The land barely changed.

He leaned his head back against the armrest. Things were so dull and boring. Why couldn't some fool wish away something? He would take those horrid lights that mortal hung around their homes this time year. Anything would be than be trapped in this throne room with goblins getting drunk.

Suddenly, he realized that the throne room had grown quiet. Very quiet. Too quiet. He raised his head off of the arm of the throne, frowning. There was not a single goblin in the room. There was only a few chickens scattered throughout the room.

He slowly moved to stand up. Looking around the room, he stood up. What were the little cretins doing? Much less planning? Where had all of them ran off to? He conjured a crystal and called the image of where all of his subjects. Frowning, he began to walk towards the door. Why were they all gathered near the Kitchens? What would be so interesting, so important, that they would all stop their merry making?

The goblins stood around Hoggle and Sir Didymus. They all listened as the dwarf and fox told them of the Lady's plight. Most could not believe what was being told to them. Their lady was was not fairing well and needed their help.

"I've already talked with Cook his already working on grand meal for us to take to her, "Hoggle stood on top of a box looking down slightly at the goblins before him, "we need to work on getting Sarah gifts. Mostly we need stuff to help keep her warm."

"We can get some blankets from King. He has more than enough. Lady needs them more than him, "a rather small goblin spoke up.

One of the larger goblins tilted his helm back a bit, "King, should be told. He's not going to be happy that we want to help her."

Sir Didymus nodded, "true, my friend, but we must do something. M'lady, must be taken care of. We can not allow it to continue."

Hoggle stepped down off the box, "get firewood before blankets. She was running low ."

Two of the bigger goblins lowered their axes "we'll take care of that."

Hoggle nodded, "you'll need help to carry it."

A rather large group of different size goblins raised their hands.

"Good. So everyone have their jobs?"

The goblins nodded, well some jumped up and down.

Hoggle gave a curt nod, "all right, everyone let's get started."

"What is going on here?"

XOXOXOX

He stood with his hands on his hips watching as the group turned to face him almost as one. They had the nerve to try and look as if they weren't up to something. Oh, he knew they were. He had known something was going on once he had realized that there wasn't a single goblin in the throne.

The Goblin King raised an eyebrow as the goblins began to take sheepish glances among themselves.

Finally, Sir Didymus moved towards him, "your majesty, Lady Sarah is very much in need of some help and well cheer."

"What about the girl? I'm surprised any of you still have dealings with her."

In truth, he had known that her friends had kept in touch, and that a few goblins did as well, but what was with all this Sarah needs helps and cheer.

Sir Didymus sighed, "M'lady's home is not ideal, and she is in great need of our help. Things are not going particularly well for M'lady."

The Goblin King almost sneered at him. He didn't want to give Sarah anything. She had said those lovely words and had ruined all of his plans. If she hadn't said those words she wouldn't be in what ever trouble she was in now.

"You all can do what ever wish, but you had better not touch a single thing that belongs to me."

Sir Didymus nodded, "of course, your majesty."

The king gave a nod as he created a crystal, "see to it, Didymus, or it will be you and the dwarf who pays." He tossed the crystal into the air transporting himself back to the throne room.

He lounged back into his throne. How had her life turned out any way? From the sound of it, Sarah wasn't doing very well. Absentmindedly, he conjured a crystal. Sneering at it, he almost threw it against the wall, but stopped. He should see if what they had said was true. Bringing it closing, he frowned at the image inside the crystal.

He lowered the crystal. The Lady of the Labyrinth deserved so much more than a mortal life. He had to try. They had been willing once, but would they be willing now? He tossed the crystal into the air. He has much to do and little time. The Goblin King disappeared in a shower of glitter.


Here's Chapter 2. I had to fix a few things. I didn't upload the finished chapter. So I had to do a quick finish, but it is close to the original.

Still no update on my computer. So please forgive any errors. My tablet's keyboard does like my thumbs sometimes. Not having my computer is making it hard to reply to reviews and pm's, but I'll do my best.

Thanks for the favorites, follows, and reviews.

Review if you please.
