The girl landed not far from the castle as Leia's old body disappeared.
Now Leia stood where the hawk had landed. "You know Rosa. I am surprised, you rarely free me from my body like that. Why did you now?"
Rosa smiled at her. "Because Leia. I am dying and you know it. Unlike you and your sister I am far from immortal. And now you have a new body. But you must not go to the king yet. You must wait until he can bare no more torment." Leia nodded and looked back at the castle. Rosa stood beside her now. "This is my last gift to you my daughter. A new body and more power. Your sister must be stopped or this world may not exist much longer."
Leia sighed and looked at her mother. "Even though you are not my mother at times I wish you were. You have always been kind to be and watched over me when my mother did not, even though she rarely did anyway."
Rosa glared at her. "Your mother was a great woman until your father became dark and evil and controlled her."
Leia nodded and sighed. "Yes..but still you have always been there since I was born and were with me no matter what. You are more of a mother then she would ever be to me." Leia's eyes glowed for a brief moment and then she turned to the old woman. "Tell me. What is it my sister wants?"
Rosa sighed and looked out over the land. "To destroy all of this and anything else she comes across here. She hates this world and will do anything to destroy it and its king." Rosa looked at Leia. "You are the only one who can stop her now, you know. She would have killed you there in the throne room. But now you have been restored to your old self, your true body reborn."
Leia looked down and nodded. "I realize that now. And I thank you deeply for restoring me to it."
Rosa nodded and turned away. "It is time." With this she tossed a necklace to Leia. "You know what to do with it. Leia looked at her sad by nodded setting it on a rock. "goodbye my daughter." Leia had drawn her sword and smashed the crystal. When she did Rosa faded and her powers were given to Leia.
"Thank you Rosa."
Leia put her sword away and looked at herself in the pool beside her. He hair was similar to before except now it was to the middle of her back. The top half was braided in a fish bone braid. Her eyes were the same stormy green as they had been before. She wore a short skirt slit up to her waist on either side from her knees, with underwear beneath that were more like a swim suit bottom. Her shirt was long sleeved but the selves were cut up to her elbows. Her belt held her sword and a small coin pouch.
Her boots went to her knees and were brown leather which matched her belt. Both her skirt and shirt were green. She looked like and elf. But she was far from it. Her cloths had been given to her by Rosa who was an elf.
"Thank you." Leia whispered into the wind and turn away walking towards the castle. Even though she was head that way it was not where she went she instead went to a place near the castle, a green area hidden from most people.

Jareth had turned to find her body gone and he had nearly screamed. The old woman who had turned into a young girl had liberated Leia's sprit and he knew it. With a sigh he head to his throne room to deal with Leia's sister, Crystal.
As he entered she smiled wickedly. "And how is my sister?" She laughed cruelly. "Good I trust" She smirked and then she was slammed into a wall by Jareth's power.
"Give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you, you witch."
Crystal only laughed. "Because I can come back but you cant." She sent him flying into the wall opposite her. "So don't think you can simply over power me."
With this she disappeared. Jareth growled realizing he would have to be careful around her if she came back. He was sure she would. But he wasn't sure when. He sighed and left the throne room returning to his own. He collapsed into his bed and fell asleep to tired to stay awake any longer.
