Many thanks to everyone's patience! This chapter is dedicated to
magicwolf1, who gave me the idea of Final Fantasy 10. I do not own Final
Fantasy, Labyrinth, blah blah blah. I have changed it around a little bit.
So it doesn't follow the exact plot of ffX. It is of my own imagination.
So don't be mad. The song is from the new Silent Hill game. It's called
You're Not Here, sung by Melissa Williamson. It's a good tune to check out
;-) Anyways, on with the chapter!!!!
~"Blue sky to forever,
The green grass blows in the wind, dancing
It would be a much better sight with you, with me."~
As the company set out for Bevelle, Jareth could feel everyone's mood. Sirus, Anthony, and Amberle were so excited and anxious to get there. Isabella and Jason were abnormally quiet. Which was never a good sign. But now he was just enjoying the chatter of Sirus and Amberle.
"Bevelle is home to the summoners of the Underground! They can call upon Aeons, who defend their summoners." Sirus gushed.
"Aeons?" Amberle asked.
"Yes, being who have extraordinary powers, and can only be called upon by a summoner."
"Wow!" Amberle exclaimed.
Jareth couldn't help but smile. But the smile faded when he saw Isabella. She looked so nervous about continuing to Bevelle.
"What is wrong Bella?" Jareth asked.
"I've been to Bevelle before.and I was forced and dragged out.something I would rather not talk about. But how do you know the King will just hand over the Key? What makes you so damn sure?" Isabella now had tears in her eyes.
Jareth was so confused. He hadn't known Bella had been this brutally forced out of a Holy City.
"Not to worry. It's like I said, the King is in debt to me. He will turn over the Key."
Isabella nodded, though she still had her doubts. Soon they would be in Bevelle, and then her doubts would be justified.
~"If you hadn't met me, I'd be fine on my own, baby,
I never felt so lonely, then you came along"~
Sarah could hardly believe she had made it down the brightly lit stone steps to the outdoor dining area. And when she did arrive, she gasped at the sight of it. The area overlooked the bustling Cetran City and ocean. The dining table was made of glass, and the area was decorated with candles and white flowers. There were already guests waiting for her. Adam caught sight of her, and a malevolent grin caught his lips. He walked to her and held out his hand.
"Sarah my sweet, we have been waiting. Come, meet our guests." Adam emphasized the word our, which made her stomach turn violently.
She put on a fake smile and let Adam lead her away. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see Lunus. He nodded to her and sipped his drink. Sarah was introduced to Ada Vang and Philip Audi first. They were the King and Queens advisors. Which brought another thought to mind. She had never met the King and Queen of the Cetrans. Then she met Shanna. Although she could tell with much pleasure that Adam didn't like her. He swiftly said her name and moved on. After a few more people, he came to Lunus. When they reached Lunus, she had to try to keep a straight face. HE looked completely different than earlier. He had his hair tied in a ponytail, and wore robes of a periwinkle blue. He bowed, kissed her hand, and winked. She smiled, and looked at the twinkling sky. The baby was kicking again. And with extreme surprise, she realized she wanted to die.
~"So now what should I do, I'm strung out, addicted to you,
My body aches, now that you're gone,
My supply fell through"~
"Oi! We're almost there!"
Jareth was surprised that he was getting nervous with each step closer to Bevelle. But it wasn't Bevelle. It was the Phantom Regions that made him nervous. Anthony and Amberle reassured him that they could lead the company through. They had never been to Bevelle, but had gone through the Phantom Regions with their father and the past Bevelle king to get to the Cetran City. And his brother's behavior was alarming him even more. The closer they got to Bevelle, the more irritable he became. Something was wrong, and he was going to find out.
Jason's stomach churned as they got closer to Bevelle. They were getting closer to the Cetran City, and there was still no word from Adam about Mech'elle. As the company traveled together on this journey for Sarah, they had all grown to be family. Except for Jason. He kept to himself. And as he watched the small company grow closer and closer, he noticed his threats. Threats that would lead to the downfall of his mission. He mission was to lead the company into the Phantom Regions, flee, and let the Reaper kill them. But the company's happiness and determination would ward off the Reaper. The only thing that could harm it, was happy emotions. He needed to break them apart, and soon.
~"You gladly gave me everything you had and more,
You craved my happiness
When you make me feel joy it makes you smile,
But now I feel your stress"~
They had reached the gates leading into Bevelle. With a mighty push, they made their way through the gates. The city was larger than imaginable. It was made of towering peaks and enormous towers. Jareth led the way through the busy streets to the castle. The people of Bevelle were different looking than humans or Fey. They had pointed ears and eyebrows. All of their eyes were a murky green color. Their hands were too big and hung limp at their sides.
"Try not to stare, the Guado are very uneasy around outsiders." Jareth whispered.
"Guado?" Sirus whispered back.
"Yes, the race of summoners that inhabits Bevelle."
Isabella remained and continued to stare straight ahead of her. When they reached the palace gates, Jareth explained to the guard who they were.
"I am King Jareth of the Labyrinth, and this is my company. We need to speak to the King and Queen immediately. Tis very urgent."
"King Jareth? I have heard about you! Follow me into the throne room and I will alert the Highness of your presence." The guard squeaked and led the company in. The inside of the palace was elaborate in décor. It was covered in gold and silvers. The carpet was a rainbow of colors. When the guard left them in the throne room, everyone bustled with excitement.
"That was easy Jareth. Perhaps too easy?" Sirus said.
"Not to worry, I told you, the King knows me." Jareth replied.
Suddenly, the doors to the throne room swung open. And a deep voice exclaimed,
"Oh my! JARETH! Yuna! He really is here! How are you my friend?"
The voice belonged to the King of Bevelle, Seymour Guado. The king was of tall stature. He had blue hair, and even deeper blue eyes.
"Seymour! I am well, may I introduce my company?"
"Please! And then tell me the nature of this visit."
After introductions were made, the King escorted the into a more comfortable chamber, with fluffy pillows and a squashy couch. Jareth then told the King step by step everything that had happened. From Sarahs kidnapping to why they had come to Bevelle. Seymour listened to everything Jareth said, his eyes never leaving the floor. After Jareth finished, there was an uncomfortable silence. But that silence was eventually broken by the squeals of a woman outside their door. The woman eventually burst into the room.
"Jareth! So it is true! You're back!" she cried.
The woman rushed into his arms and gave him a hug. The company could tell by looking at her that she was the queen. She wore a gown of all white and lace, with a small crown on her head.
"Ok Yuna! Do not strangle the man." Seymour growled, pulling Yuna off Jareth.
It was clear that there was jealousy in Seymour's eyes.
"May I think this over? I do not just hand over the Key to the Phantom Regions lightly. I will give your company rooms." Seymour said after another set of introductions to the Queen.
"Certainly. We await your approval." Jareth said as the company was swept out of the room, leaving a pondering King.
~"Love was never meant to be such a crazy affair, no
And who has time for tears
Never thought I'd sit around for your love,
'till now."~
Amberle was confused over what happened in that room.
"Jareth? Why did the King get upset when Queen Yuna hugged you? There was so much jealousy in his eyes."
"That is because he knows that the Queen would never willingly do the same to him." Jareth replied softly.
This confused Amberle more.
"What do you mean?" "The King and Queen were joined by an arranged marriage. Seymour loves Yuna, but Yuna's heart belongs elsewhere. He gets jealous around any man that is paying her any attention."
When Jareth looked at Amberle, he saw an expression he had never seen on her face before. Pity.
~"I feel your stress"~
~Whoo-hoo! It's almost 11, and I started writing @ 8, lol. DONE! So... Good? Bad? For pictures of Seymour, my description did NO justice, go here. He's so hard to describe!
~"Blue sky to forever,
