Chap 1: The visitation of a new listian.

Jareth, in the clothes that Sarah first saw him in, was lounging around on his throne, bored. He didn't know what to do with himself because Sarah and him weren't on speaking terms and nobody had
wished away anybody for at least a month. Suddenly a goblin bursts into the throne room. The goblin
was a short, chubby creature and it was one of the goblins assigned to watch the listians and find out about new ones.

"You better have a good reason for bothering me or I will tip you head first into the Bog of
Eternal Stench!"

"I do, your majesty, I do," cried the goblin in fear. "I have good news and bad news, which do
you want first?"

"The good news of course, you blathering idiot! Stop wasting my time!"

"A new listian has been found, sir. But the bad news is, he has been on for several months and we
didn't even know about him."

Jareth's eyes become fire and he conjures a crystal and throws it at the goblin and the goblin disappears in a flash of glitter. "Hmm..." He thinks. "Why didn't we find out about this listian before now?" Jareth conjures another crystal and begins looking for this listian.

"Hmm, that's interesting! I'm unable to get a good look at him. Everything around him can be clearly seen, except him. This warrants a visit to find out why."

Jareth turns into an owl and flies aboveground to find this listian. He flies into the house and into the bedroom and transforms back into himself in a flash of glitter. He starts to speak when he sees a bright flash of light. When his eyes clear he finds himself back in his throne room.

"Whoa! What just happened!"

"I did it," says a voice before the listian shimmers into existence. Jareth sees someone that, for all the world, looks like a man in his 30s wearing a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. "What are you doing bothering me while I'm reading! And I don't like having to clean up after someone who should know better!"

"Uh..uh..how did you do that?" Jareth stutters uncomprehendingly. "I thought I was the only one
that could do that."

"I am a DJINN," The listian replies. "I have more power than you could even think of having." Jareth sees bolts of gold energy coming out of the fingers and forming a big ball. "Let's go to your library so you can try to find out about me." The listian smirks. The ball vanishes like it was never there.

The two disappear from the throne room and reappear in Jareth's personal library.

"A bit small isn't it?"

"It suits me." Jareth replies in an annoyed voice. "Stop toying with me or I'll get very angry."

"Ha, ha, ha! Like you can do anything to me. Take your best shot."

Jareth conjures a crystal and throws it at the listian. The next thing Jareth finds is himself falling towards the BOES. "HELP!" Jareth yells and he disappears right before he hits and reappears in the library.

"Have you had enough?"

"Ye-ye-yeah, I have." Jareth stutters out of fear.

"Good. You can start your research."

"What is your name?" Jareth asks. "And how come I didn't see the flash of light like I did the first time?"

"My name is DJinn. I like to keep things simple. As for the flash of light, I didn't want you to see what I was reading." The listian replies, with a chuckle.

Jareth pulls out one of his books. The title of it is "The Various Creatures of the Underground and How to Defeat Them." DJinn looks at the title and chuckles. "I won't be in there, I'm not a part of the Underground and you already know you can't touch me."

"Do you mind? I would like to study in peace."

"Be forewarned, I will be watching you." DJinn says, right before he disappears. DJinn pokes out
through a wall. "By the way, your whole castle stinks." DJinn waves his hand and all of a sudden the whole castle smelled like violets. DJinn sniffs and says, "That's a lot better" and disappears again.

"How the hell did he do that? I've tried for years to get the smell of the BOES out of here." Jareth says in wonder with fear clearly seen on his face. Jareth starts looking through the book, but can find no mention of the DJINN. He takes down book after book and looks at them all through the night.

The next morning presents a very haggard and worn Goblin King asleep at the desk. A clock appears
in mid-air and starts going off waking up Jareth. Jareth looks around suddenly to find out the source of the noise, but the clock had already disappeared. "What am I going to do? How did I anger this creature? What's going to happen next?" These questions start running through his mind as he gets up and stretches. Jareth decides to find out who might be able to shed a light on his troubles. He pulls a black book from off of a small shelf and starts looking through his list of listians. He finds one he hopes might be able to help out. He conjures a crystal to find out where she is. He finds her at her computer writing one of her stories. He disappears in a flash of glitter.
