A/N: It's been such a long while. My deepest and sincerest apologies, I
hope I have lost my few readers who liked this story.
1 month later.
Malek watched the vastness of the lands below him. For the last two weeks he had stayed with his fathers old companion Daryn.
He had heard the news the Goblin city was to have a masked ball. A perfect opportunity for him. He was patiently waiting the return of his messenger. He sent a formal dinner invitation to the former King Faryn and his wife.
He paced impatiently.
.....
Faryn was busy reading over some documents when a messenger approached him. He took the letter and the messenger left.
He read the contents; he felt a slight foreboding at them, the document simply said.
.... Would you like to have ruler ship of the Elf Kingdom again? Meet with Lord Daryn within the week......
He did not like how that sounded. He also was not sure the implication. Ruler ship had not been taken away from him. The queen Sariya had been kind to him; she sought his advice from time to time and found it easier for him to govern the Elf Kingdom. He rode to the goblin kingdom immediately.
... The messenger arrived back not knowing of Faryn's plans. Sire the message has been delivered.
Malek smiled. Yes things would go well.
........
It took Faryn longer then he wanted to get to the goblin kingdom then he would have liked but he immediately asked for audience with Jareth and Sariya.
"Your majesties" He said breathlessly "I am in suspicion that there is another plot to overthrow you."
"What gives you this suspicion?" Jareth asked quickly.
He handed Jareth the letter, Jareth read it. "My uncle is up to something. I had hoped with his ally gone he would consider this matter over."
"Faryn I want you to go to this meeting pretending that you are angry that the Queen has returned."
"But your majesty I'm not angry, you and she have bestowed kindness to me and my wife and have allowed me to continue my ruler ship of the Elf Kingdom."
"Yes I'm aware of that Faryn, but my uncle is obviously not, he might suppose that you are only biding your time, pretending to be nice. I am not sure what his thoughts are."
"Yes of course then I will go."
"Very well, report to me three days after so as to not look to suspicious."
"Of course your majesty."
He left quickly. Jareth sighed he gently took Sariya's hand into his "Unfortunately my love this does not seem over yet."
He held her tightly to him, wishing he could provide a more settled life for her.
