Chapter 2: The Problem with Isis
"So what where you and Isis discussing?"
"You never did beat around the bush much."
"Especially not when it appeared you were correcting her."
"Isis is still a young centauress by the standards of the centaurs, but she is immortal, Jareth. She is mature physically and wishes for the love you and Sarah share. Your daughter longs to be married."
"But she's."
"A grown woman now. Immortal children grow quickly, Jareth. You know that."
"I will send for a prince worthy of her." Jareth said quietly. He left her alone, and Ione breathed a sigh of relief. That evening, Jareth talked the matter over with Sarah.
"Ione revealed to me today that Isis wishes to be married."
"As well she should! She's a lovely young woman."
"I told Ione that I would that I would find a suitable prince, but I'm not sure how to test them."
"Why, Jareth! I'm surprised at you! What better test could you find than the Labyrinth? After all you claim I am the only girl to ever conquer it. Why not require her prince to endure the same for her?"
"You're beautiful!" Jareth said with a smile.
"Why? Because I'm your bride or because I point out the obvious?"
He bent down to look into her eyes.
"Both!"
The following morning the message went out to the royalty of fairy courts near and far.
All princes deemed worthy and capable by their respective kingdoms are invited to try for the hand of the glorious Princess Isis of the Labyrinth. Those attempting for the heart of our beloved princess shall be subjected to the trial of the Labyrinth before deemed worthy by HM Jareth of the Labyrinth of being in the presence of the Princess Isis. All princes with a heart for beauty and a will for challenge are welcome.
