"Oh God, there's the thirty-sixth one today." One of the said, cowering under one of the counters.
"Really?" The other one asked sarcastically. "I couldn't tell by the screaming."
"Oh, will both you you just shut up!" I raised my voice so that everyone could hear me over the yelling of the goblin I had just launched out the window for offering me some ice in my drink. "You should be aware that I can hear you! You are only five feet away."
They became silent for a mere moment before daring to speak again. "Do you think they might be alive?"
"Very doubtful." A calm, eerie voice drifted from the door. I turned to see a figure in a bright orange robes and hood standing in the archway, there was a second figure beside the first, all in bright green. Both faces hid behind the hoods. "Our King has a very short temper today, wouldn't you say so my friend?"
"Yes." The second figure said softly.
"So, that means," The first figure glided forward. "He knows a fraction of why we are here."
I glanced around the room quickly to take in how many goblins where coming out of their little hiding places to watch the newcomers. "All of you, out now." I didn't raise my voice, there wasn't a need to, the goblins rushed out of the room as fast as gravity would let. If it where not for my current mood I would laugh and call them back. But as it is, I am far from that mood or ever being in that mood again. I turned to the bright figures slowly.
"Levi, Skye, what brings you here?" I demanded under my breath, just in case any goblin was eavesdropping. "Where in your master Vin? He normally comes to tell me...news."
"He is on his way, my king." The orange figure whispered.
"Yes, Goblin King." The green figure muttered. "He sent us ahead of him."
"Why would he do a thing like that?" I asked turning on my heels and walking out of the room and down the hallway. Levi and Skye followed swiftly behind me. I turned in to a very dusty library. "Close the door behind you."
"How will-"
"Vin know how to find us Skye, just please, please, tell me the news you have, what you've seen, and leave." I hadn't meant to speak harshly, it had just come out that way, yet it had come out that way. The two figures sat down in wooden chairs in front of me.
"I'll go first." The orange figure said. "The Order of KJP would like you to know that your little heart-breaker is starting to notice her friends are missing, as are some of the living things in the labyrinth. We also see trouble coming, for all involved."
"Is that it?" I asked wearily.
"From me and my order, Levi has more." The orange figure said offended.
"Levi?" I looked at the bright green figure. It sighed.
"The other rulers of the other realms wish to know when you feel like you will be feeling better and come to some of the meetings yourself."
"I never do." I mumbled.
"No, you haven't." Levi agreed. "But some wish to see this Goblin King."
"Let me guess, to wed one of their daughters to?" Her silence answered my question. "How many of these so called rules are there?"
"Two left."
"Your joking." I started laughing, actually laughing. "They have actually killed themselves off? Let me guess the last two are in an all out blood bath of a war?"
"The Goblin King knows more then he suggests." I could hear the smile in her voice, she was happy to be the one to make me laugh.
"Only some." I said with a small smile. "Now whats the chances that they will kill each other at the next meeting?"
"Ninety-nine out of a hundred."
"Then the GKP will not be allowed to represent me at the next meeting, no one will go, got that?" She nodded. "Good, now is that all?"
"No, you'll be questioning yourself more often then not in the next two weeks." Levi whispered. "You will shy from your powers. That is all that we have decided to reveal to you."
"Alright." I said glancing out the window. "You might want to leave soon, or you'll never make it back before it gets dark."
"Yes, Your Highness." They bowed and walked out of the room. I glanced around myself, pondering what I had just learned.
"My little heart-breaker hu?" I ask out loud to no one. "I guess its something you could call her."
"Yes, I believe so." A calm, aged male voice rang out from behind me, causing me to jump.
P.R. "I know its short, I'm sorry. Please review before Jareth calms down! Lol, and tell me what you think."
