Family

Jareth, Alden, Corsair, and Elia all stood patiently while the painter
added the final touches to the small family portrait. As the painter
finished, he bowed and then quicky left, as was the custom in the time.
The four moved over to where the portrait was, with a flick of barely
finger the portrait moved into four separate paintings. Each sibling moved
to take theirs except for Jareth.

"You will visit won't you?" Alden looked over at Jereth who was the
youngest of the four.

Jareth nodded slowly, "I will look in from time to time."

Corsair patted Jereth's shoulder lightly before looking at the others,
"Well places to go and things to see. I'm off." Quickly saying goodbyes the
eldest disappeared to go live a life of traveling and fun. He returned only
a few times after to visit and restore his lost magic and youth.

Elia looked between her two remaining brothers and kissed them lightly.
"You'll make a fine king, Jareth." With a sad smile she gave each brother
another hug before disappearing. Joining her new husband in a castle more
then three kingdom's away from the Labyrinth and it's inhabitants.

Alden watched a second longer before glancing at the woman who was waiting
in the next room. Looking at his younger brother he calmly patted his
shoulder, "It's going to be a new challenge."

Jareth nodded, his mismatched eyes showing a hurt but also a deep love.
The four of them had dreaded this day from coming. Corsair wanted to leave
being king so that he could continue to travel, Alden had found a wonderful
girl on Earth and was leaving with her. That left only Elia and Jareth left
to rule the Goblin kingdom. Elia was nearly ready to take one being the
queen but then Lord Strakey stole her away. Leaving then only Jareth the
one to rule and become the Goblin King.

Alden looked over the painting and lightly touched his family emblem,
"Lily is pregnant."

Jareth looked over into the room where a raven haired lady was falling
asleep while sitting up. "Will the child be..."

Alden shook his head, cutting into Jareth's words, "No, we have already
checked."

The two brothers stood silent once more. Alden turned a bit, looking over
Jereth. Barely old enough to hold a position of King, Jareth had the looks
for it. He was the only one who shared their Mother's blondish white hair.
All of them had slightly unmatched eyes, but Jareth's stood out the most
one a light blue while the other was a dark and stormy blue. Even his
facial features made him stand out, as if to say that he should be king.
Alden reached over to touch Jareth's shoulder, as he was about to say
something a small goblin burst into the room and out of breath.

"Your majesty!' The goblin took a few seconds and many long breaths before
looking up at the new Goblin King. "Someone has said the words and made a
wish!"

Jareth smiled sadly and nodded to his brother. "My duties await." His
smile turned icy before calling a crystal and disappearing, to make
someone's foolish wish true.
