DISLAIMER: I don't own the Labyrinth. Don't sue me.
Sorry this chapter took soooooo long!!! Kingdom Keepers
"Are you a goblin?" "Yes." "A really real goblin?" "Yes." "What's your name? "Amblyn, young sir." "Are you really a goblin?" At Amblyn's defeated sigh, Jareth finally managed to draw himself away from his crystals and pay attention to the young boy who was questioning his advisor to the point of exhaustion. Toby didn't remember being here before; back when Sarah wished him to the Labyrinth. But he remembered the stories of goblins and kings that Sarah, ever the actress, had created for him over the years. He was young enough to appreciate a tangible cast of characters for those stories without fear, and to strike up an inquisitive conversation with everyone he saw. "Toby." Jareth called, "Catch.", and he threw the boy a musical crystal to amuse himself with. As Toby turned happily to the spinning orb, Amblyn escaped with a grateful look towards Jareth. Jareth turned back to his own crystal, with which he was now searching the borderlands for Sarah.
Toby was treasured by Sarah, and his presence should override the powerful dark magic that ruled the outskirts of his kingdom where he felt certain Braeden was hidden, and obscured even Jareth's powerful crystals. He regretted the worry that might be encountered above ground due to Toby's disappearance. But when he found the boy away from home, he was too worried about the swiftly passing time to take him back to his house and search for something dear to Sarah. If Sarah could brave the Labyrinth for Toby, then Toby was enough. Suddenly, the crystal before him changed. Before it had shown Jareth only misty images of Sarah and Braeden, with nothing tangible enough for him to discern their whereabouts. Now, however, his view was expanded and he could see the distinctive patterns of the border desserts. After a few seconds, Jareth was certain he knew the location of Braeden's lair. "Amblyn! Satu! Clar!" he called hurriedly. "Alert your troop leaders. Every available unit, save a small contingent to protect the Goblin City, is to head for the Red Plain on the borderlands, by the Southeast portal to the human realm." "Then you have located Braeden there?" asked Clar. "You will find the traitor there, and the girl." said Jareth, anger flashing in his eyes. "By threatening the Goblin King, Braeden has lost any rights he may have gained by heeding the terms of his banishment. You will capture him and bring him here under guard." Jareth finished. "Satu! Clar!" Jareth's tone let the two men know they were dismissed and they hurried off to obey his orders. "Amblyn." Jareth ventured as he watched them go, "I leave it to you to guide the troops. I wish to travel my own way and remove Sarah from the castle before Braeden learns of the approaching troops." "I will not fail you, sire." Amblyn said soberly, and with that, he was gone. Just as Jareth was about to leave himself, he remembered Toby. "Haggle!" he shouted. In a few moments the little dwarf stood before him. "I leave him," he commanded, indicating Toby, "in your care." As Hoggle sputtered in protest, Jareth disappeared from view, his only thought of reaching Sarah. ************************************************************************ As Jareth's troops raced toward Caydliell, Braeden watched them in the form of a red and brown hawk. So Jareth has chosen not to take his threats seriously and take matters into his own hands. Braeden has rather hoped that the dark magic of the borderlands would keep Jareth from finding him. But now that he obviously had, he would try to enjoy a confrontation with his brother. With a swift turn of his wings, Braeden raced back to Caydliell. To Sarah, asleep by his own magic. He had a feeling that Jareth would not trust anyone but himself to rescue this mortal girl who so bewitched him. He smiled, as much as he could in his hawk form, at the certain victory over Jareth that was sure to come.
