Karillion grinned evily as he came to the walls of the Labyrinth. There was that stupid dwarf, spraying the faries. It was easy to knock the dwarf out cold and enter the Labyrinth as he slowly made his way towards the castle. Revenge was going to be so sweet. He'd finally destroy Jareth and take his promised prize-the girl, Victoria. And the best part was, no one knew he was on his way. He'd have the element of surprise.
The dark haired Fae soon became rather frustrated, however. It seemed to him the damned labyrinth just went on and on, just one straight corridor. There were no twists, no turns, and no openings. Was Jareth more stupid than Karillion had first thought? Did the so called king not know that a labyrinth was supposed to have twists and turns and not just be one straight path that led no where?
Hoggle awoke with an awful headache. Then he remembered what had happened. "Oh, no..." he whispered. "I'se gots ta warn Jareth..." With that, he stood, rushing into one of the underground tunnels that led straight to the castle. He had to get there before Karillion did, or else there would be big trouble. And trouble, of course, was the last thing the dwarf wanted for himself or any of his friends in the castle or the labyrinth around it.
The dwarf ran into the throne room, out of breath. "Yer majesties! Jareth! Sarah!" he cried, still trying to catch his breath. The goblin King was the first to answer his call. "What is it, Hoggle? Where's the fire? And catch your breath before you tell me or you'll take too long." Jareth then waited as Hoggle's breathing slowly returned to normal. It was about this time that Sarah finally got into the room. "What's going on?" she asked.
"I was by the main doors ta th' labyrinth, spraying fairies, when my danger sense suddenly perked up. But b'fore I'se could turn see what was goin' on, I saw Karillion! He's back!" Sarah looked at Jareth, one eyebrow raised, asking him if it was possible. Jareth shook his head. "Impossible," he said. "He was killed a year ago along with Doriath." Hoggle shook his head. "Check yer crystal if ya gots ta, but believe me, he's back."
Jareth knew Hoggle wouldn't lie to him or Sarah. He decided to take the dwarf's word for it. "Take some goblins and scout for his position," Jareth finally decided. "If we're lucky, we can lure him into an oubliette. Meanwhile, I'm going to warn Trevor and Victoria." Sarah thought for a moment. "We should take Sarna to my parents," she said. "Victoria, too. After all, she's three months pregnant!" Jareth nodded slightly.
