"It's nice meeting another phantom, or phantomness despite phantom-magic being frowned upon in your Labyrinth my dear as I've wanted another phantom in the famlia." Deadly said seeing Dee smirk a little sipping tea out of a skull shaped tea cup as right now, she was with Deadly in his phantom lair which was hidden under the castle library but he was curious about her after her inner phantom had burst out in her, turning Casey, Crystal and Kaley into little kids physically plus Darci had given Dee a protective dragon kiss on her light-blue forehead before she'd confessed what she'd did out of anxiousness expecting Deadly to banish her just like her Jareth had banished her mother for stealing magical secrets from the library only Deadly was more understanding and had instead taken her to his phantom-lair having afternoon-tea.
"Yes, my Jareth banned phantom-magic after he banished my mother but he is unaware I have it, in my blood but herr, I feel I can be me and let my inner phantom out, maybe I can find a way to unspell the crown-Princess and her friends, your highness." Dee told him, feeling him squeeze her light-blue skinned pawlike hand gently sensing a kindred soul in her as they were eating scones which had pumpkin seeds in them making him feel happy as normally, he had afternoon tea by himself as he'd wait for Darci or Dudley to join him but then the tea would get cold or he got lonely surprising Dee by this seeing the purple tea-snuggie around thepot which made her grin a little, easing her anxiety
"Ohhh this is so good, and never really did this with my Jareth, he'd say he's too busy." Dee said.
Deadly then heard her yawning, as the tea was making her sleepy, falling asleep which Deadly found sweet kissing her forehead in the same spit which Darci had seeing it glow brightly knowing it wasbecoming stronger, scooping her up gently carrying her out of there on his cloaked-back closing the entrance so nobody could discover it or mess around in there seeing the younger versionsof Casey and Crystal in awe lookijg up from the storybook Crystal had been reading to her best-pal wondering where Deadly had appeared from, noticing he was carrying Dee who was asleep making him sigh.
"Dee got sleepy from the tea we had for our afterhoon snack, like you gugs love having cookies for yours and yes, Dee will start eating junk food, getting cute and chunky like us but where's Kaley, she loves the library." Deadly said to them.
"She was goijg to come but Harmomy and Melody wanted her, to play with them, but yes Dee will get cute like everybody in our family only Jareth and Sarah went back to their house." Crystal said to him.
They were leaving the library, hearing Dee sleep-talking about being a phantom-dragon and free to use her magic without fear ofbeing sent to the dungeon or banished like her mother making a friwn cross Crystal's little magenta-furred face at that deciding not to tell the others about that which made Deadly smile.
Dee began to stir a bit later before dinnertime, feeling good remembering she and Deadly had tea together in hissecret lair but sensed he cared about her compared to her Jareth who was cold towards her, sensing she belonged here more as her purpleeyes lit up wuth magic lookijg at herself in the mirror grinning like the phantom she felt on the inside that back home, she had to hide maniacally giggling as Darci and Dudley alomg with Deadly heard her noticing Darci's light-blue cheeks go pink making Deadly grin as he understood explaining Dee was being herself hearing her maniacally giggling but felt hungry sitting beside Darci at the table, asking ifthat feeling was normal.
"Yep, the magic of our world is welcoming you, but yes this is normie honeyplus your forehead is glowing." Darci said seeing her eating a lot alojg with the rest of the family making Deadly grin knowing Dee felt at home here than her Labyrinth sensing was deciding to stay making him but Darci happy.
"Yeah thisfeels right to me." Dee murmured yawning making Darci understand as the kids were getting ready for bed and stories to help them wind down.
