Disclaimer...I own nothing except for the characters that had never been
seen before. Okay basically the only ones who are in here that I don't own
are Jareth, Sarah, and Hoggle...I might add some of the others soon.

Jareth looked down at the documents in front of him and sighed. 'Sometimes
it is not good to be king.' Pushing one of the papers to the side he raised
an eyebrow, "Draken, I don't think that me giving up that part of my
kingdom is wise. That's getting awful close to my swamp area."

"It's a prime location and the waterfall there would make a lovely edition
to my gardens."

Jareth shook his head. "No deal Draken, I'm not giving up that piece of my
kingdom." Pushing the papers away he looked to the young lord, waiting for
him to try and counter.

"Your majesty, I was thinking of using that as a bridal gift when ever I
find a bride."

"I won't allow it. There is just too much of a chance of animals,
subjects, and other crossing between the two. It could become dangerous."

Draken nodded and picked up the papers. "I should be getting back to my
keep. My family and I shall see you at the festivities Majesty."

Jareth nodded and waved a hand to let him leave. Sitting back into his
chair he called up a crystal and watched Alex walk down on of the
corridors. But what was that beside her? Peering closer he smiled lightly,
"So that's where that little Dwarf went."

"And who is this young lady Jareth?" King Braven from the Elven Kingdom
sat down beside him looking into the crystal.

"My niece, from Alden."

"How old is she?"

"Eighteen I believe. They do grow up so fast."

"Is she human? I heard all of the children Alden had were."

Jareth shook his head lightly, "This is his Granddaughter. And she is a
full Fae."

"How did that manage to come around?"

"I honestly don't know."

"Well I must be getting back to my kingdom to get ready. I will be
bringing my son with my wife and I as well."

Jareth nodded absently, "Then I will see you then next week." As Braven
left Jareth went back to watching Alexandria a bit more before allowing the
crystal to disappear. Standing he went to the task and making sure all
those at the court were also coming to the ball and festival.

Corsair looked up from the chair in the library when Sarah and Hoggle
entered. "Has she gotten back in yet?"

"Yes. Remember that small dwarf that we couldn't find at all?" Corsair
muted the sound on the mirror and turned fully to face Sarah and Hoggle.

"Yes...what was his name? Quig wasn't it?" Sarah sat down in one of the
large chairs, lifting her feet up

"Well he found Alex and she's walking with him." As Corsair waved a hand
towards the mirror, restoring the sound, they all turned in time to watch
Alex fall through one of the openings to a oubliette. Her scream echoing
around the library.
