Approximately 1 month before Sarah's Birthday.
Sarah sat up in bed clutching her the back of her neck. This was the third time in the last month her neck had sharp stabbing pains. Sarah thought it might be tension, she worked very hard to graduate, maybe a little to hard.
She started to make a pot of tea when the pain hit again, then she heard a voice, a voice she had not heard before. It was almost as if she was being called.
The pain shot through her neck again, she doubled up in pain and fell to the floor. She felt a gush of wind. "Not you" She screamed, "Why are you doing this to me?" She said between sobs.
A hand touched her hair. "I am sorry my lady, the pain should stop now that we have found you." A gentle voice said.
Sarah looked up at the voice, she thought for a minute Jareth was doing all of this. "Who are you?" She rubbed her neck amazed the pain instantly vanished.
"I am Ladoros high council to the Elf kingdom this is Harren the second in the high council. We have been looking for you for almost twenty one years now."
"Why, what do you want from me?" She was breathing hard almost scared.
"Your majesty we have come to take you home." He held out his hand.
"I do not understand, and why did you call me your majesty?"
"Your mother was Queen Lissalle of the Elf Kingdom. You are princess Sariya."
"How can I be?" Sarah shook her head in confusion.
"Your mother, left your father just after you were born, she hid herself and you with magic, however there was one thing she could not hide. You have a mark on the back of your neck."
Sarah rubbed the back of her neck, she remembered once asking her father where it had came from but he honestly did not know the answer.
"That mark was given to you just after your birth, it means you are betrothed, the sharp pains in your neck is a magic that was used to signal you. I assume that you are nearly 21."
Sarah nodded. Still not understanding.
"Princess Saryia, please follow us, there are those who will be able to help you, you can learn of your parents, your history. You are needed to bring peace in a time of war."
Not knowing what else to do Sarah took the mans hand, and they vanished.
She reappeared in a castle. She followed the men hesitantly.
"My lady I am sure you have many questions but first we will help you to use your powers. You will be the only one to break your mothers magic on your appearance. Also we must make preparations for the wedding."
"Wedding?" Sarah asked shocked.
"Yes my lady you are to marry the day before you turn 21 if you do not the kingdom will be lost to the Trolls, as per an arrangement by your father."
"I take it that would not be a good thing."
"No my lady, the trolls would destroy our homes, our history. I apologize for putting such a burden on your shoulders."
"Who am I to marry?" Sarah's head was swimming; here she was in land she did not know, in place that seemed as fantastical as the Labyrinth. Then she made a realization. "Excuse me, is this the Underground?"
"Why yes my lady, but I assumed that you would have no remembrance of your homeland. Of course we hoped you would have memories, and that you would return home, of course your father searched for years trying to find you and your mother."
"Why did she leave?" Sarah never remembering her mother wanted to know as much as she possibly could.
"I am sorry I have to be the one to tell you this my lady," Ladoros gently told her, "However, your father was not a good ruler, he was abusive, and unkind. Your mother left to save herself, and more importantly you."
"What happened to my father?"
"A few years ago he attempted to start a war. You see, until you were declared dead you were given sovereignty over the Elf Kingdom. Your Father remarried, and had a son, and wanted him to be given sovereignty. The council would not allow it. So he went to attack the Labyrinth. Jareth however outsmarted him, set traps along the Labyrinth."
"Jareth? " Sarah swallowed hard, she shifted nervously.
"Yes my lady, the King of the Goblins, Jareth is one of the most powerful fae in the underground. Which is why your father betrothed you to him."
Sarah sat down, trying to catch her breath, "I have to marry Jareth?"
"Yes my lady in fact once we have you in your correct form, and your measurements, we will take you to the Goblin Kingdom immediately."
After that Sarah no longer heard anything, she passed out onto the floor.
"I was afraid she might do that," He said concerned. "Harren I need your assistance please."
The other elf entered the room. They both gently lifted her and carried her to the room.
