Chapter 4- Enter Koto
The dark empire of Tenreth was quiet, a deathly silence.
The air itself smelled of death and the darkness the land emitted would send a terrifying tremor up your spine.
Emperor Dorien sat alone in his dimly lit throne room, sitting upon his large black throne, an arm lounged upon the throne's arm and his handsome pale face rested up his fist.
A sigh of boredom escaped the dark emperor, oh he was just so bored, perhaps he'd send out another general to make trouble for the Goblin King, maybe this time Princess Savina would be successfully captured.
"Koto" The emperor said softly and a brunette man appeared, yellow eyes turning up to his emperor.
"Yes, your majesty?" Koto said, a lazy evil grin upon his ice white face.
Dorien found himself smirking, he had made a good choice, Koto was once of his most powerful generals, he'd like to see Jareth defeat Koto as easily as he did Matsu.
"Koto, I want you to attack the Goblin King's castle, retrieve the Nevaehin princess for me" Dorien said, his eyes widening with excitement "And once you have her, bring her here to me immediately, then once she is delivered to me, you are to return to Jareth's kingdom and crush him if he isn't already dead"
Koto smirked at the thought of being able to shed Fae blood, or any blood for that matter, morbid excitement danced in Koto's eyes, he would thoroughly enjoy this.
"But Koto" Dorien said, his black eyes narrowing threateningly "Do not fail me, or you shall suffer Matsu's fate"
Koto bowed deeply to his emperor and disappeared.
"Soon" Dorien said, twisting his hand to materialize a glass of dark red wine "Soon Nevaeh will be no more"
He threw back his head and let out a wicked laugh.
Sarah turned her head to look at Jareth as they walked through his royal gardens, a blush stained her cheeks as he turned and smiled at her, taking her hand in his.
She turned her face quickly and smiled, using her other hand to reach out and pluck a rose, bringing the bloom to her nose and smelling it's sweet fragrance.
Jareth smiled at her, she was so beautiful and so sweet.
"You know, Sarah" Jareth said "That rose's beauty pales in comparison to yours by ten fold.
"I fear this is all a beautiful dream and I will wake up in Dorien's dungeon any minute" Sarah said softly, smiling at Jareth "If it is a dream, I wish to never wake"
Jareth smiled and took the Nevaehin into his arms, slowly bringing his lips down to hers as to not frighten her away from him.
Sarah softly closed her eyes, a euphoric feeling of joy filling her whole being, she had waited so long for this, for his sweet kiss.
Just as Jareth's lips were about to touch hers, he felt himself ripped roughly away from Sarah and thrown hard against the garden wall, smacking his head and falling unconscious to the ground.
Sarah screamed and looked to the source of her beloved's attacker and she gasped and backed away with a scream of terror "Koto"
"You remember, princess? I am flattered to have made such an impact on you that you'd remember me after all these years" Koto said, his yellow eyes sparkling with evil and malice.
Sarah's eyes whipped to Jareth's unconscious form and back to Koto, he smirked when he saw the path of her eyes and laughed.
"He can't help you, princess" Koto said and then held out a hand "Emperor Dorien awaits you, come with me now"
"No!" Sarah screamed and turned, making to run inside the palace and alert the guards, but no such luck, Koto jumped into the air and landed in front of her, grinning like the evil son of a bitch he was.
His hand lurched out before she could do anything and wrapped itself around her throat, disappearing with her.
Jareth lifted his head, his vision still blurry from the hard blow to his head, his head was swimming.
"Sarah" he said before passing out in enveloping darkness.
Koto appeared in the throne room of the Tenrethian palace and threw the princess to the floor and then disappeared once more to fulfill his final task given to him.
Sarah picked herself and looked up at the throne, fear and terror filling her eyes as they met with the crimson red of eyes of the dark emperor, Dorien.
