Jareth layed Dieja down on a bed in an extra chamber in his castle. He
quickly sealed the wound with his magic.He tucked some of her hair behind
her ear. "I'm so sorry about all this." he got up and walked out of the
room.
Dieja woke up suddenly. She faintly remembered Jareth, Moro, The Faeries...
Moro was walking down to her chambers, God she was tired. But saw Jareth standing on her balcony.
Alex stirred in her sleep. She was dreaming, not a good dream, it was a nightmare. That may come true.
Loki woke up after a very hard night. Loki stood up and looked into the mirror. she had blood on her face and hands. "OH MY GOD! WHERE IS MY SWORD!" loki screamed searching the room. she found it laying on the floor near her window. 'thank you god' she thought to herself as she cltched the sword."MORO!"
Moro woke with a start.She diappeared and reappeared in loki's chambers."What is it?" she asked sleepliy. "WHO PUT MY FLAMING SWORD ON THE DIRTY GROUND! THIS NEEDS TO BE TREATED WITH REPEST! THIS WAS SENT TO ME MY THE ANGEL OF DEATH! THAT DOEN'T HAPPEN TO EVERYBODY!"
Moro was surprised at her behavoir, but something was nagging her brain(no not literally!!)"Angel of Death?"
"yes the angel of death. he snets this to me. i killed Brendon with it. how do you think i got away? when i die ill become the angel of death!" Loki said trying to calm down "im the only person in the univerise how can touch this sword with out it burning me. why do think it burnt Jareth and not me?"
Moro thought on this, if the only person that can touch it is Loki, then someone either used a powerful levitating spell or Loki isn't the only one."Maybe Jareth knows something about this, lets go find him, amd bring it with you."
"of course im going to bring it with me! i never gooing let this baby leave my side!" Loki said following Moro out of the room "Moro i don't think its that big of a deal im it could have slide out of my bed or something"
"You never know, but we might as well see, maybe we'll learn something new about this weapon of yours."Moro said opening the door
"no one else can use it, but me!" Loki said in frustration "but i guess your right..."
Moro and Loki made their way to Jareth's chambers.Moro tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear and knocked."Jareth?Jareth are you awake?"no answer. Moro put her ear to the door. Nothing. She gave a worried look to Loki. Moro opened the door and looked in. The room was huge! There was a four poster bed with wine colored drapes and black silk bed coverings in the center of the room. There was a large wardrobe with intricate pattens of goblins carved into the woodwork. There was a large vanity with a huge mirror on it. And carved into the mirror's frame were dragons, unicorns, owls, and wolves.At the ceter of the top frame of the mirror was a dragon's hand, and in it sat a crystal. Loki stared in owe."Cool huh?" said Moro tring not to giggle from Loki's facial expretion Loi looked the room with a jealous exppression on her face then she realized something. "OH GOD! WHERE IS HE! I REFUSE TO LOOK IN THE BED! IT COULD MELT MY EYES! MORO WHERE IS HE!" "Don't know, with you screaming I'm surprised the whole castle isn't awake yet." Moro said with a raised eyebrow at her cousin."Maybe he's down in the throne room...."she said backing out. Then she remembered something."Come here Loki." Moro and Loki walked over to the huge mirror and stood in front of it. "what? i know i have a beatiful reflection but theres no point in both of us staring at it" Loki said sarcatically. Moro rolled her eyes and looked staight at the mirror, reflection staring back."Please show me the Goblin King." nothing."OK, you have to be precise with these I'm guessing. Please show me Jareth the Goblin King." Suddenly the mirror rippled as if made of water and then calmed to reveal the throne room in the castle. Jareth was at eye level with an elven girl, the same elven girl that had visited in the dinning hall a couple of days ago.Moro looked closly and saw that the girl had what looked like teeth makes on her right arm, and a few cuts and bruises.Moro and Loki looked at who else was in the room. Araie was sitting on his hunches next to the throne, looking alert. There were also two adult elves(male and a female) that weren't looking too happy.
"if Jareth did that to that girl...hey thats a sin! yeah now he has to be nice to me! if he doesn't i can send him to hell!......but if hes nice ill leave him alone!" Loki said looking at the goblin king through the mirror. "i luv being the new angel of death!" Loki said hugging her flaming sword.
Moro nudged Loki in the ribs with her elbow. Jareth(in the mirror) stood up and sighed. "Well? What happened to her? I want answers!" yelled the male elf.Jareth shook his head, "I truely don't know." he said."It was probably one of the shifters you have somewhere in your castle." said the malf elf taking a curious glance at Ariae. Araie growled, "I'm a Borren, not a shifter.".
"WHAT! WE DIDN'T DO THAT! I WOULD NEVER DO THAT TO A SMALL GIRL! hey wait since im the angel of death im not really a shifter anymore....what ever." Loki said standing up "how could they think we did that?!?"
Moro slapped a hand over Loki's mouth, "Quiet! and maybe we'll find out who or what did that to the elf girl. Maybe it has somthing to do with your blade."
"what are you saying i did that! only i can bear the sword!" Loki said towering over her cuz holding out her flaming sword.
Moro sighed."Shhhh!!!!" She turned back to the mirror."Borren, bah!" said the male elf."Araie has been loyal to me and everyone in this castle for a long time, Warren. If you can't hold your toungue, then bite it." Jareth said. Jareth then put an arm around the young girl,"Casena may be one of your kind, but she's my niece and there for I will take care of her." The two elves got the point and left without another word.
"what? Jareth an uncle? creepy. really creepy." Loki said looking in the mirror.
"Well, its possible, why is it creepy?" asked Moro
"I don't i just never saw him as an uncle, i always saw him as the king who took my best friend away!" Loki slapped her hand to her mouth because she had reviled something that shes tried to forget sence she was little.
Moro looked her cousin in the eye."Who?"
Loki looked at her cuz with eyes full of sadness "when i was 5 years old my grandmother told me about a goblin king who took children away from their families forever. i was terrified. one stormy night as i lied in my bed i could hear yelling from my best friends house next door. i heard something about a goblins and i heard a strange mans voice. the next morning my friend was missing. they searched for her for months.they never found her. and when i first meet Jareth i reconizied his voice as the man who took my my best friend away. i made a vole(sp?) to find her one day find her and if i could kill the strange man. and know i have the power to kill the monster who took her away." with that Loki disappeared.
Moro was in shock,"Loki,no wait!" she ran out the door closing it behind her.
Jareth waved his gloved hand over Casena's face and arm and the wounds were gone. She smiled shyly. Jareth lead her down to new chambers."Now if you need anything, anything at all go over to that mirror and say the person's name and it will show them, but you have to be precise or nothing happens. I'm in the chamber across the hall. Thats it." with that he left with a nod.
Loki ran far into the Labyrinth. She ran to a hill where the full moon had appearred. she sat on the hill and cried. she cried for a long time. "Anastastia, i promise i'll save you!" Loki screamed into cold dark night. Loki pulled her flaming sword, she stared at it "i waited to long, i must save her!"
Jareth walked down the halls, then he heard something like someone yelling.Jareth shrugged 'Probably Draco blowing off steam.' he thought.
Moro was in her great dane form running though the labyrith after Loki's trail.
Loki stared at the moon one last time. she stood up and started to walk toward the castle to find the goblin king. "the angel of death says your time has come"
Jareth spun around to face the speaker, "What?" his eyes fell on the fire sword. "Nice try, not scary Loki."
Loki stared at the goblin king with eyes full of anger. she held up the sword and said something in the language of the angels. the sword started to glow. she slashed it at the goblin king.
Moro lost the scent, then she picked it up this time from the castle."Oh god no Loki!!" she cried turning into her white unicorn form and pracially flew back to the castle. Jareth easily dodged the attack."Hey! watch it! That has iron in it too you know."
Moro ran past the goblin guards and into the halls she took off down a random one.
Loki slashed it again this time coming much closer to Jareths bare flesh. "bring her back before i send you to the worst place in the universe. bring her back!" Loki slashd the sword.
"Bring bloody who Loki?!" Jareth said backing up against the wall.
"Anastaia! my best friend! you took her away when she was only 5! bring her back!" Loki yelled holding the point of the sword right up to his throat.
Jareth froze(NO NOT LITERALLY!)"A-Anastaia?" he asked.He racked his brain for that name..he would probably be dead in a matter of seconds if he answered or not."Anastaia...is gone, ten years ago she disappeared."
Moro stumbled on somthing black."Araie?!" she asked."Yeah its me.Whats wrong?" he asked "Jareth is in trouble." she said I can't find him or Loki anywhere." her unicorn sides heaving from running."Come on, I just saw him walking Casena to her chambers, the young elven girl." they took off.
as she ran by she hit Jareth with the blade accidently.
Jareth cried out in pain, he looked at Loki with ashocked expression then at the sword then his wound.He fell to the floor.
Loki ran to her chambers. she lied on her bed crying. crying for Anastia. she had failed her. she voled that she would save her from the goblin king. but she was to late. what was she going to do? she cried and cried. "NO!!!!!"loki screamed suddenly. her scream echoed throughout the castle.
Moro and Araie found Jareth bleeding all over the place unconcious."Oh god Jareth!!"Moro transformed back to human.He didn't answer. Moro picked him up and ran to his chambers, put him on the bed. She quickly rapped his shoulder in a conjured bandage.Moro's hands were covered in blood, but she didn't seem to notice.He lay deathly still.
Loki stared at the blade. then she realized what she had done. she ran to the kings chambers sword in hand.
Moro held Jareth's hand, "I'm so sorry, Jareth, I should have gotten there sooner."she knelt beside the bed, and put his hand to her cheek. Jareth's hand was cold.
Sound The Bugle
Sound the bugle now - play it just for me
As the seasons change - remember how I used to be
Now I can't go on - I can't even start
I've got nothing left - just an empty heart
I'm a soldier - wounded so I must give up the fight
There's nothing more for me - lead me away...
Or leave me lying here
Sound the bugle now - tell them I don't care
There's not a road I know - that leads to anywhere
Without a light feat that I will - stumble in the dark
Lay right down - decide not to go on
Then from on hight - somewhere in the distance
There's a voice that calls - remember who your are
If you lose yourself - your courage soon will follow
So be strong tonight - remember who you are
Ya you're a soldier now - fighting in abattle
To be free once more -Ya that's worth fighting for
Loki ran through the halls toward Jareths chambers. when she reached it, she looked in the room. she saw Jareth pale as death and Moro with her eyes full of tears. Loki stepped in and started to sing a very graceful song.
"may it be as darkness falls..."
the song was long and soft. but strangly powerful. Loki looked at Jareths wound it was starting to heal
Jareth heard music far off, but he couldn't make out the words,then a soothing sensation went through his shoulder, and he fell into a dreamless sleep.
Moro looked at her cousin, standing in the doorway. Words failed her. She nodded her thanks.She glanced out the huge windows, snow was falling lightly from the dark sky.
Loki stared at the man she had tried to kill then healed. she walked over to Moro side. "Moro, tell Jareth that im sorry" Loki said looking at Moro.
Moro shook her head, "You have to tell him that."
"i can't face him....i was so close to killing him........Moro he told me that Anastia disappearred 10 years ago........i have failed her...." Loki said tears starting to fill her eyes.
"She...she didn't disappear." came Jareth's voice.
"what? Jareth what do you mean she didn't dissappear? tell me" Loki said standing up
Jareth tried to sit up, but was still weak from loss of blood, so he laid back down. "I didn't lie fully. Anastastia was a sweet girl, but she had a firey temper when iit came to me. She somehow escaped from the castle into my labyrinth. About 3 days after Anastastia's escape, I found her....."Jareth stopped.
"found her what!" Loki breath was caught in chest "do you mean..." she broke off.
Jareth sat up slowly and looked Loki in the eye with saddness."Anastastia was barely alive....she was cut to ribbons....she told me to hold out my hand, and she dropped(he made some thing appear) this into my hand.She said to give it to you.....then she died"he closed his eyes and looked away.He tossed the item to Loki.
Loki looke at the item and she gasped. tears filled her eyes. she looked down at the small and fragile thing.
"I'm so sorry Loki...." Jareth said. Moro went over to Loki and hugged her.
Loki stared at the gold pendent. it had a diamond in the center, the rarest of all jewels and it was on a thick gold chain. "Jareth thank you for telling me the truth" Loki said rising "i have some praying to do"
Jareth nodded and fell asleep. Moro followed Loki out of his chambers.
"Moro do you want to help me pray for Anastastia soul?" Loki asked Moro.
Moro nodded.(SORRY HAVING WRITERS BLOCK)
"Lets go to my room" Loki said to Moro leading the waydown the hall. when they reached Loki's room Loki waved her hands and 2 dozen lite candles floated around the room. "now get on your knees and stay silent" Loki told Moro. they both kneed before the the lite fireplace and loki began to speak in the lanaguage of the angels.
Moro stayed sient, but her thoughts strayed to Jareth...he'd been close to death, too close.....
Loki spoke in the language of the angels for a little longer. then the fireplace started to swirl in green flame. suddenly a face appearred it was off an young man. he stared at the two, then he spoke. "Loki who is your friend?". "oh how rude of me im sorry, this is my cousin Moro Shapeshifter." Lpoki said staring at Moro. "ah hello Moro. i've heard go things about you from Loki. shes told me about how many times you have saved her from the goblin kings wraith(sp?)."
Moro had a 'duh?' expression on her face.Then her sences came back, "You got something agaist MY boyfriend? hm?"
"Moro! don't be rude!" Loki said. "no its alright Loki. Moro, of course i don't have a problem with him, but according to Loki he can have a fiery temper." the young man said
"One question: Who are you?and yes he can have a firey temper, if you rub him the wrong way." she said crossing her arms.
"MORO! din't be rude! do you have any idea who were talking to!?! Loki said pointing at the yound man. Moro groaned "No! I'd like to know!"
"Moro, think for a second what is the opposite of the angel of death?" Loki said sort of shaking in frustration.
Moro played dumb,"The oppisite of the angel of death is.....barney!"
Loki just stared at her most loved cuz "Moro your making youself look bad in front of angels of death and live." Loki said flatly
Moro rolled her eyes and turned to the young man,"Listen who are you, what do you want.I've had a tough week, so no more guessing games."
"i just told you who he was!" Loki yelled at Moro. "and he doesn't want anything we called on him! remember!"
"You lost me cuz...."Moro said
"AHHHH!" Loki said pulling at her chesenut hair. "Moro this is the angel of live." Loki said pointing at the yound man. she was trying to keep herself from yelling again. "jeez.....was it that hard im god! what else is the opposest of the angel of death! GOD!"
Moro very visibly paled, she muttered a quick 'sorry'.
"Loki i would like to know why you called one me" the young man. "oh my god! im sorry! i called on you to ask you a favor" Loki said quickly. "anything for you Loki". "see my dear friend was taken from me and i was hopeing you could bring her back, but in another body" Loki said hopefully.
Moro sorta saw where this was going."Are you saying that u want Anastastia back in a another body, and who will it be?"
"she would be reborn in a different body. and she would grow up a another life because her first live was cut short" Loki said looking at her cuz. then she turned quickly to look at the young man "so is it possible?"
Moro looked over at her cousin a little uneasliy, "Loki? Youdo realize what you are asking for? Right? What if she was killed for a reason? I'm not saying that I wouldn't want her back, I don't even know her."
"if she was killed for a reason....i can protect her this time. i promised that i would save her no matter what!" Loki said firmly "so can you do it?" she asked the young man. "well yes i can.....are you sure you want to do this, Loki?" he asked. "yes".
"One more question: how?"Moro asked
"this is how" the angel of life said. he closed his eyes and a swirl of green flame surrounded Loki and started to spin quite rapidly.
Moro backed up, mouth open in owe.
when the swirl finally stopped Loki fell to the floor.
Moro was at her cousin's side right away, "What did you do to her?!" she bellowed at the angel.
"i made her a mother" he said calmly. he smiley kindly.
Jareth heard some yelling so he got up, used his magic to put his arm in a sling, put on a silvery-red colored robe, and left his chambers. He opened Loki's door...
Moro looked at the angel with disgust, "You're sick you know?In fact, I don't take back what I said to you eariler!". Jareth decided to make his presense known."Whats wrong Moro?" he asked then he saw Loki on the floor.He was at Moro and Loki's sides imedately."What happened to Loki?"
Loki eyes opened slowly. "when that was interesting" Loki said dumbly. she tried to stand but she fell on the hard ground again."ow!"
"Real smoothe Loki. Whats wrong?" said Jareth
Loki didn't answer. she was knocked out from hitting her head against the floor. and the angel had gone.
Jareth was confused....really confused 'I should have stayed in bed.' he thought. Then he and Moro brought Loki to her chambers... filling Jareth in about what had happened.Jareth had heard about the Angel of the Living...in fact they weren't on the best of terms with eachother..but he didn't say that, things were bad enough.
Loki woke up in her warm scarelette(sp) bed. she climbed out and walked to the balcony. she stared out at the full moon. ".......i've finally saved you Anastia!" her yell echoed through out the castle and the Labyrinth.
Moro woke up, "Loki...." she growled. She transformed into her wolf form and got out of bed. Moro trotted to Loki's chambers, and opened the door.
Loki stared up at moon for a long time. then she heard something behind her. "oh hello Moro" Moro walked over to her cuz and sat in her wolf form."You know Loki some people sleep here?" "Sorry Moro, im just so happy! i mean i never thought this could happen to me! Loki said holding her heart and spinning around.
Moro shook her head and walked back to the door."Tomarrow you have to tell Draco.You know that right?" she said looking at her soon-to-be-mother cousin.
"oh your right! i totally forgot!" Loki said still staring at the moon.
Moro left, and decided to check on Jareth. Draco sat by his window staring at the moon. he thought abaout Loki he missed her so. he could hear his parents talking about how bad it was that Draco was engaged to a shapeshifter. they had called her very rud emans and said that they would have her dead if they had the chance. they didn't want shapeshifters in their pureblood family.
Dieja woke up with a start. How long had she been out? Where was she? She got up, puzzled. She put on a silk bathrobe that was lying on a chair, and brushed her wavy blonde hair, and walked into the hall of the castle.
Moro walked down to Jareth's chambers.She heard mumbling..Moro opened the door. She saw Jareth, tossing and turning in his sleep, sweat beaded his face, and he was saying something in Goblin. She quietly went over to him, jumped on the bed and lay beside him. He imedatly quieted.She rested her wolf head on his bare chest(YUMMY!) and fell asleep.
Loki was danceing around the castle and singing. goblins were staring at her. 'it had probaley been awhile since they heard a women singing in the castle.Jareth scares them all off' Loki thought to herself.
Araie potrolled the halls, he had heard from Loki that she'd be a mom soon. He stood on his hind legs and looked out a castle window. It was snowing, the Labyrith always looked so lovly when it snowed.Christmas was on the way, but as far as he could tell, things probably weren't going to be very merry.
Dieja put a hand to her hand, and she sat down on Jareth's Throne. To sit on his chair was a sin, (know idea why I put that) but she couldn't remember anything at all!
A goblin trotted in, and must've senced her memory loss, so it ran out to go tell Jareth. Alex was SICK of sitting around in her room!
She ran out into the gardens out of the Faerie castle, and saw Hoggle, a dwarf, peeing in a pool.
Loki picked up a goblin a rather small goblin and kissed it. yes she was that happy. she putted it down and starting danceing some more. the goblins were whispering to eachother "this is alot better than Magic Dance"
Jareth woke slowly, he'd been have nightmares and dreams of Bowen....then he felt something on his chest, Moro was still asleep in her wolf form. He ran a hand through her white silkly fur. Then a knock was at the door."Come in." he said thinking it to be Dieja, or Loki. But the goblin king frowned when the goblin entered.(YOU PLAY THE GOBLIN SARAH)
The purple and black ball of butt-ugly fuzz bowed lowly.
Your Highness, Dieja is sitting in your throne, and has appeared to have lost her memory!
Draco packed up his stuff. happy to be leaving his terrible family behind. he was finally going back to the people who really loved him. his father came in him and told him he had something to discuss with him. "Draco i want you to drop the engagment" his father said in a icy tone. "what!" Draco yelled "no! i won't do it!". "you'll do what i say, boy!". "no! i won't!" Draco yelled. then he dissappeared
Jareth crawled out of bed, not wanting to wake Moro. He could easliy get Dieja's memory back.Jareth snapped his fingers and he was fully dressed(same outfit during Magic Dance scene) and disappeared to the throne room.He foud Dieja sitting mindlessly in his throne
Dieja barely even reilized that Jareth was there. Dieja sighed, wondering where she was. She was getting hungry.
Jareth walked over to Dieja and handed her a memory crystal.
Loki was dancing aroung her balcony. she was staring up at the sky as snow lighty fell on her face. she saw Draco reappear in front of her. "Draco! your back i missed you so much!" Loki said running to him and kissing him. "Loki i have something to discuss with you.". "so do i!" Loki said kissing him again.
Jareth walked over to Dieja and handed her a memory crystal.
Dieja looked up into those cold, blue (are they blue? whatever) and took the crystal gratefully. As soon as she touched it, all her memories started flowing back to her. Including the ones she didn't WANT to rememeber.
"Dieja?" Jareth wanted to know if it worked, according to her facial expression her memory had come back.
She smiled as she looked back at Jareth, and handed back the crystal. She suddenly jumped up, out of Jareth's Throne.
Jareth gave Dieja a small smile, "Breakfast will be served in a few minutes." he said disappearing
Yeah... I remeber everything... Dieja assured him, seeing his face. then, her smiled faded. Apparently, her memeory was still coming back to her, and her memory was not long ago a few years back, but then it forwarded up to now, and she remembered that Moro was engaged to Jareth, and she was no longer with him. (okay... for some reason.... I put that.... whatever. *shruggs*
Moro woke and found that Jareth was gone.She assumed he'd gone down to breakfast.She was hungry now that her stomach growled to life.She made her way down to the dinning hall.
Dieja snapped her fingers and was dressed in a pressed silk gown. (have you seen: Voyage of the Unicorn?) Loki stared into Dracos silver eyes. "Draco this is going to be hard to belive but...eh...eh....your a father" loki said as calmly as she could Draco just just stared at her. "thats great" Draco said then he fainted.
Moro walked to Loki's chambers to ask her if she wanted breakfast.She turned back to humanoid form and knocked on the door.
Dieja walked down into the breakfast room and sat down.
MEANWHILE:
Alex stared at Hoggle, then cleared her throat. Hoggle jumped. Hey?!? Who You? Hoggle asked.
"I'm Alex... how are ya Hoggle?"
Hey, How'd ja know me names? Hoggle asked suspisiously as he picked up a faerie~sprayer.
Loki walked to the door and opened it. "Oh hey Moro! Draco back. he passed out after i told him." Loki said cooly.
"I wonder why...." Moro said with sarcasim."Anyway if you want food come and get it."
"sure, im starving." with that Loki left the room dancing and singing down the hallways.
Moro followed Loki to the dinning hall.
when she reached the dining hall she hit a very high note. she noticed everybody looking at her. "ill shut up now" Loki said sheepishly.
A little while later during breakfast.....
"You know, we should do something speical this holiday season." said Moro.She accepted the fact that her cousin was pregnent and nothing she did could stop that."Like what?" Jareth said."Well...on Christmas Eve, we can sing christmas songs, I mean, as far as I know, we've all got good singing voices.So how 'bout it?" Moro said looking at the others.
Dieja woke up suddenly. She faintly remembered Jareth, Moro, The Faeries...
Moro was walking down to her chambers, God she was tired. But saw Jareth standing on her balcony.
Alex stirred in her sleep. She was dreaming, not a good dream, it was a nightmare. That may come true.
Loki woke up after a very hard night. Loki stood up and looked into the mirror. she had blood on her face and hands. "OH MY GOD! WHERE IS MY SWORD!" loki screamed searching the room. she found it laying on the floor near her window. 'thank you god' she thought to herself as she cltched the sword."MORO!"
Moro woke with a start.She diappeared and reappeared in loki's chambers."What is it?" she asked sleepliy. "WHO PUT MY FLAMING SWORD ON THE DIRTY GROUND! THIS NEEDS TO BE TREATED WITH REPEST! THIS WAS SENT TO ME MY THE ANGEL OF DEATH! THAT DOEN'T HAPPEN TO EVERYBODY!"
Moro was surprised at her behavoir, but something was nagging her brain(no not literally!!)"Angel of Death?"
"yes the angel of death. he snets this to me. i killed Brendon with it. how do you think i got away? when i die ill become the angel of death!" Loki said trying to calm down "im the only person in the univerise how can touch this sword with out it burning me. why do think it burnt Jareth and not me?"
Moro thought on this, if the only person that can touch it is Loki, then someone either used a powerful levitating spell or Loki isn't the only one."Maybe Jareth knows something about this, lets go find him, amd bring it with you."
"of course im going to bring it with me! i never gooing let this baby leave my side!" Loki said following Moro out of the room "Moro i don't think its that big of a deal im it could have slide out of my bed or something"
"You never know, but we might as well see, maybe we'll learn something new about this weapon of yours."Moro said opening the door
"no one else can use it, but me!" Loki said in frustration "but i guess your right..."
Moro and Loki made their way to Jareth's chambers.Moro tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear and knocked."Jareth?Jareth are you awake?"no answer. Moro put her ear to the door. Nothing. She gave a worried look to Loki. Moro opened the door and looked in. The room was huge! There was a four poster bed with wine colored drapes and black silk bed coverings in the center of the room. There was a large wardrobe with intricate pattens of goblins carved into the woodwork. There was a large vanity with a huge mirror on it. And carved into the mirror's frame were dragons, unicorns, owls, and wolves.At the ceter of the top frame of the mirror was a dragon's hand, and in it sat a crystal. Loki stared in owe."Cool huh?" said Moro tring not to giggle from Loki's facial expretion Loi looked the room with a jealous exppression on her face then she realized something. "OH GOD! WHERE IS HE! I REFUSE TO LOOK IN THE BED! IT COULD MELT MY EYES! MORO WHERE IS HE!" "Don't know, with you screaming I'm surprised the whole castle isn't awake yet." Moro said with a raised eyebrow at her cousin."Maybe he's down in the throne room...."she said backing out. Then she remembered something."Come here Loki." Moro and Loki walked over to the huge mirror and stood in front of it. "what? i know i have a beatiful reflection but theres no point in both of us staring at it" Loki said sarcatically. Moro rolled her eyes and looked staight at the mirror, reflection staring back."Please show me the Goblin King." nothing."OK, you have to be precise with these I'm guessing. Please show me Jareth the Goblin King." Suddenly the mirror rippled as if made of water and then calmed to reveal the throne room in the castle. Jareth was at eye level with an elven girl, the same elven girl that had visited in the dinning hall a couple of days ago.Moro looked closly and saw that the girl had what looked like teeth makes on her right arm, and a few cuts and bruises.Moro and Loki looked at who else was in the room. Araie was sitting on his hunches next to the throne, looking alert. There were also two adult elves(male and a female) that weren't looking too happy.
"if Jareth did that to that girl...hey thats a sin! yeah now he has to be nice to me! if he doesn't i can send him to hell!......but if hes nice ill leave him alone!" Loki said looking at the goblin king through the mirror. "i luv being the new angel of death!" Loki said hugging her flaming sword.
Moro nudged Loki in the ribs with her elbow. Jareth(in the mirror) stood up and sighed. "Well? What happened to her? I want answers!" yelled the male elf.Jareth shook his head, "I truely don't know." he said."It was probably one of the shifters you have somewhere in your castle." said the malf elf taking a curious glance at Ariae. Araie growled, "I'm a Borren, not a shifter.".
"WHAT! WE DIDN'T DO THAT! I WOULD NEVER DO THAT TO A SMALL GIRL! hey wait since im the angel of death im not really a shifter anymore....what ever." Loki said standing up "how could they think we did that?!?"
Moro slapped a hand over Loki's mouth, "Quiet! and maybe we'll find out who or what did that to the elf girl. Maybe it has somthing to do with your blade."
"what are you saying i did that! only i can bear the sword!" Loki said towering over her cuz holding out her flaming sword.
Moro sighed."Shhhh!!!!" She turned back to the mirror."Borren, bah!" said the male elf."Araie has been loyal to me and everyone in this castle for a long time, Warren. If you can't hold your toungue, then bite it." Jareth said. Jareth then put an arm around the young girl,"Casena may be one of your kind, but she's my niece and there for I will take care of her." The two elves got the point and left without another word.
"what? Jareth an uncle? creepy. really creepy." Loki said looking in the mirror.
"Well, its possible, why is it creepy?" asked Moro
"I don't i just never saw him as an uncle, i always saw him as the king who took my best friend away!" Loki slapped her hand to her mouth because she had reviled something that shes tried to forget sence she was little.
Moro looked her cousin in the eye."Who?"
Loki looked at her cuz with eyes full of sadness "when i was 5 years old my grandmother told me about a goblin king who took children away from their families forever. i was terrified. one stormy night as i lied in my bed i could hear yelling from my best friends house next door. i heard something about a goblins and i heard a strange mans voice. the next morning my friend was missing. they searched for her for months.they never found her. and when i first meet Jareth i reconizied his voice as the man who took my my best friend away. i made a vole(sp?) to find her one day find her and if i could kill the strange man. and know i have the power to kill the monster who took her away." with that Loki disappeared.
Moro was in shock,"Loki,no wait!" she ran out the door closing it behind her.
Jareth waved his gloved hand over Casena's face and arm and the wounds were gone. She smiled shyly. Jareth lead her down to new chambers."Now if you need anything, anything at all go over to that mirror and say the person's name and it will show them, but you have to be precise or nothing happens. I'm in the chamber across the hall. Thats it." with that he left with a nod.
Loki ran far into the Labyrinth. She ran to a hill where the full moon had appearred. she sat on the hill and cried. she cried for a long time. "Anastastia, i promise i'll save you!" Loki screamed into cold dark night. Loki pulled her flaming sword, she stared at it "i waited to long, i must save her!"
Jareth walked down the halls, then he heard something like someone yelling.Jareth shrugged 'Probably Draco blowing off steam.' he thought.
Moro was in her great dane form running though the labyrith after Loki's trail.
Loki stared at the moon one last time. she stood up and started to walk toward the castle to find the goblin king. "the angel of death says your time has come"
Jareth spun around to face the speaker, "What?" his eyes fell on the fire sword. "Nice try, not scary Loki."
Loki stared at the goblin king with eyes full of anger. she held up the sword and said something in the language of the angels. the sword started to glow. she slashed it at the goblin king.
Moro lost the scent, then she picked it up this time from the castle."Oh god no Loki!!" she cried turning into her white unicorn form and pracially flew back to the castle. Jareth easily dodged the attack."Hey! watch it! That has iron in it too you know."
Moro ran past the goblin guards and into the halls she took off down a random one.
Loki slashed it again this time coming much closer to Jareths bare flesh. "bring her back before i send you to the worst place in the universe. bring her back!" Loki slashd the sword.
"Bring bloody who Loki?!" Jareth said backing up against the wall.
"Anastaia! my best friend! you took her away when she was only 5! bring her back!" Loki yelled holding the point of the sword right up to his throat.
Jareth froze(NO NOT LITERALLY!)"A-Anastaia?" he asked.He racked his brain for that name..he would probably be dead in a matter of seconds if he answered or not."Anastaia...is gone, ten years ago she disappeared."
Moro stumbled on somthing black."Araie?!" she asked."Yeah its me.Whats wrong?" he asked "Jareth is in trouble." she said I can't find him or Loki anywhere." her unicorn sides heaving from running."Come on, I just saw him walking Casena to her chambers, the young elven girl." they took off.
as she ran by she hit Jareth with the blade accidently.
Jareth cried out in pain, he looked at Loki with ashocked expression then at the sword then his wound.He fell to the floor.
Loki ran to her chambers. she lied on her bed crying. crying for Anastia. she had failed her. she voled that she would save her from the goblin king. but she was to late. what was she going to do? she cried and cried. "NO!!!!!"loki screamed suddenly. her scream echoed throughout the castle.
Moro and Araie found Jareth bleeding all over the place unconcious."Oh god Jareth!!"Moro transformed back to human.He didn't answer. Moro picked him up and ran to his chambers, put him on the bed. She quickly rapped his shoulder in a conjured bandage.Moro's hands were covered in blood, but she didn't seem to notice.He lay deathly still.
Loki stared at the blade. then she realized what she had done. she ran to the kings chambers sword in hand.
Moro held Jareth's hand, "I'm so sorry, Jareth, I should have gotten there sooner."she knelt beside the bed, and put his hand to her cheek. Jareth's hand was cold.
Sound The Bugle
Sound the bugle now - play it just for me
As the seasons change - remember how I used to be
Now I can't go on - I can't even start
I've got nothing left - just an empty heart
I'm a soldier - wounded so I must give up the fight
There's nothing more for me - lead me away...
Or leave me lying here
Sound the bugle now - tell them I don't care
There's not a road I know - that leads to anywhere
Without a light feat that I will - stumble in the dark
Lay right down - decide not to go on
Then from on hight - somewhere in the distance
There's a voice that calls - remember who your are
If you lose yourself - your courage soon will follow
So be strong tonight - remember who you are
Ya you're a soldier now - fighting in abattle
To be free once more -Ya that's worth fighting for
Loki ran through the halls toward Jareths chambers. when she reached it, she looked in the room. she saw Jareth pale as death and Moro with her eyes full of tears. Loki stepped in and started to sing a very graceful song.
"may it be as darkness falls..."
the song was long and soft. but strangly powerful. Loki looked at Jareths wound it was starting to heal
Jareth heard music far off, but he couldn't make out the words,then a soothing sensation went through his shoulder, and he fell into a dreamless sleep.
Moro looked at her cousin, standing in the doorway. Words failed her. She nodded her thanks.She glanced out the huge windows, snow was falling lightly from the dark sky.
Loki stared at the man she had tried to kill then healed. she walked over to Moro side. "Moro, tell Jareth that im sorry" Loki said looking at Moro.
Moro shook her head, "You have to tell him that."
"i can't face him....i was so close to killing him........Moro he told me that Anastia disappearred 10 years ago........i have failed her...." Loki said tears starting to fill her eyes.
"She...she didn't disappear." came Jareth's voice.
"what? Jareth what do you mean she didn't dissappear? tell me" Loki said standing up
Jareth tried to sit up, but was still weak from loss of blood, so he laid back down. "I didn't lie fully. Anastastia was a sweet girl, but she had a firey temper when iit came to me. She somehow escaped from the castle into my labyrinth. About 3 days after Anastastia's escape, I found her....."Jareth stopped.
"found her what!" Loki breath was caught in chest "do you mean..." she broke off.
Jareth sat up slowly and looked Loki in the eye with saddness."Anastastia was barely alive....she was cut to ribbons....she told me to hold out my hand, and she dropped(he made some thing appear) this into my hand.She said to give it to you.....then she died"he closed his eyes and looked away.He tossed the item to Loki.
Loki looke at the item and she gasped. tears filled her eyes. she looked down at the small and fragile thing.
"I'm so sorry Loki...." Jareth said. Moro went over to Loki and hugged her.
Loki stared at the gold pendent. it had a diamond in the center, the rarest of all jewels and it was on a thick gold chain. "Jareth thank you for telling me the truth" Loki said rising "i have some praying to do"
Jareth nodded and fell asleep. Moro followed Loki out of his chambers.
"Moro do you want to help me pray for Anastastia soul?" Loki asked Moro.
Moro nodded.(SORRY HAVING WRITERS BLOCK)
"Lets go to my room" Loki said to Moro leading the waydown the hall. when they reached Loki's room Loki waved her hands and 2 dozen lite candles floated around the room. "now get on your knees and stay silent" Loki told Moro. they both kneed before the the lite fireplace and loki began to speak in the lanaguage of the angels.
Moro stayed sient, but her thoughts strayed to Jareth...he'd been close to death, too close.....
Loki spoke in the language of the angels for a little longer. then the fireplace started to swirl in green flame. suddenly a face appearred it was off an young man. he stared at the two, then he spoke. "Loki who is your friend?". "oh how rude of me im sorry, this is my cousin Moro Shapeshifter." Lpoki said staring at Moro. "ah hello Moro. i've heard go things about you from Loki. shes told me about how many times you have saved her from the goblin kings wraith(sp?)."
Moro had a 'duh?' expression on her face.Then her sences came back, "You got something agaist MY boyfriend? hm?"
"Moro! don't be rude!" Loki said. "no its alright Loki. Moro, of course i don't have a problem with him, but according to Loki he can have a fiery temper." the young man said
"One question: Who are you?and yes he can have a firey temper, if you rub him the wrong way." she said crossing her arms.
"MORO! din't be rude! do you have any idea who were talking to!?! Loki said pointing at the yound man. Moro groaned "No! I'd like to know!"
"Moro, think for a second what is the opposite of the angel of death?" Loki said sort of shaking in frustration.
Moro played dumb,"The oppisite of the angel of death is.....barney!"
Loki just stared at her most loved cuz "Moro your making youself look bad in front of angels of death and live." Loki said flatly
Moro rolled her eyes and turned to the young man,"Listen who are you, what do you want.I've had a tough week, so no more guessing games."
"i just told you who he was!" Loki yelled at Moro. "and he doesn't want anything we called on him! remember!"
"You lost me cuz...."Moro said
"AHHHH!" Loki said pulling at her chesenut hair. "Moro this is the angel of live." Loki said pointing at the yound man. she was trying to keep herself from yelling again. "jeez.....was it that hard im god! what else is the opposest of the angel of death! GOD!"
Moro very visibly paled, she muttered a quick 'sorry'.
"Loki i would like to know why you called one me" the young man. "oh my god! im sorry! i called on you to ask you a favor" Loki said quickly. "anything for you Loki". "see my dear friend was taken from me and i was hopeing you could bring her back, but in another body" Loki said hopefully.
Moro sorta saw where this was going."Are you saying that u want Anastastia back in a another body, and who will it be?"
"she would be reborn in a different body. and she would grow up a another life because her first live was cut short" Loki said looking at her cuz. then she turned quickly to look at the young man "so is it possible?"
Moro looked over at her cousin a little uneasliy, "Loki? Youdo realize what you are asking for? Right? What if she was killed for a reason? I'm not saying that I wouldn't want her back, I don't even know her."
"if she was killed for a reason....i can protect her this time. i promised that i would save her no matter what!" Loki said firmly "so can you do it?" she asked the young man. "well yes i can.....are you sure you want to do this, Loki?" he asked. "yes".
"One more question: how?"Moro asked
"this is how" the angel of life said. he closed his eyes and a swirl of green flame surrounded Loki and started to spin quite rapidly.
Moro backed up, mouth open in owe.
when the swirl finally stopped Loki fell to the floor.
Moro was at her cousin's side right away, "What did you do to her?!" she bellowed at the angel.
"i made her a mother" he said calmly. he smiley kindly.
Jareth heard some yelling so he got up, used his magic to put his arm in a sling, put on a silvery-red colored robe, and left his chambers. He opened Loki's door...
Moro looked at the angel with disgust, "You're sick you know?In fact, I don't take back what I said to you eariler!". Jareth decided to make his presense known."Whats wrong Moro?" he asked then he saw Loki on the floor.He was at Moro and Loki's sides imedately."What happened to Loki?"
Loki eyes opened slowly. "when that was interesting" Loki said dumbly. she tried to stand but she fell on the hard ground again."ow!"
"Real smoothe Loki. Whats wrong?" said Jareth
Loki didn't answer. she was knocked out from hitting her head against the floor. and the angel had gone.
Jareth was confused....really confused 'I should have stayed in bed.' he thought. Then he and Moro brought Loki to her chambers... filling Jareth in about what had happened.Jareth had heard about the Angel of the Living...in fact they weren't on the best of terms with eachother..but he didn't say that, things were bad enough.
Loki woke up in her warm scarelette(sp) bed. she climbed out and walked to the balcony. she stared out at the full moon. ".......i've finally saved you Anastia!" her yell echoed through out the castle and the Labyrinth.
Moro woke up, "Loki...." she growled. She transformed into her wolf form and got out of bed. Moro trotted to Loki's chambers, and opened the door.
Loki stared up at moon for a long time. then she heard something behind her. "oh hello Moro" Moro walked over to her cuz and sat in her wolf form."You know Loki some people sleep here?" "Sorry Moro, im just so happy! i mean i never thought this could happen to me! Loki said holding her heart and spinning around.
Moro shook her head and walked back to the door."Tomarrow you have to tell Draco.You know that right?" she said looking at her soon-to-be-mother cousin.
"oh your right! i totally forgot!" Loki said still staring at the moon.
Moro left, and decided to check on Jareth. Draco sat by his window staring at the moon. he thought abaout Loki he missed her so. he could hear his parents talking about how bad it was that Draco was engaged to a shapeshifter. they had called her very rud emans and said that they would have her dead if they had the chance. they didn't want shapeshifters in their pureblood family.
Dieja woke up with a start. How long had she been out? Where was she? She got up, puzzled. She put on a silk bathrobe that was lying on a chair, and brushed her wavy blonde hair, and walked into the hall of the castle.
Moro walked down to Jareth's chambers.She heard mumbling..Moro opened the door. She saw Jareth, tossing and turning in his sleep, sweat beaded his face, and he was saying something in Goblin. She quietly went over to him, jumped on the bed and lay beside him. He imedatly quieted.She rested her wolf head on his bare chest(YUMMY!) and fell asleep.
Loki was danceing around the castle and singing. goblins were staring at her. 'it had probaley been awhile since they heard a women singing in the castle.Jareth scares them all off' Loki thought to herself.
Araie potrolled the halls, he had heard from Loki that she'd be a mom soon. He stood on his hind legs and looked out a castle window. It was snowing, the Labyrith always looked so lovly when it snowed.Christmas was on the way, but as far as he could tell, things probably weren't going to be very merry.
Dieja put a hand to her hand, and she sat down on Jareth's Throne. To sit on his chair was a sin, (know idea why I put that) but she couldn't remember anything at all!
A goblin trotted in, and must've senced her memory loss, so it ran out to go tell Jareth. Alex was SICK of sitting around in her room!
She ran out into the gardens out of the Faerie castle, and saw Hoggle, a dwarf, peeing in a pool.
Loki picked up a goblin a rather small goblin and kissed it. yes she was that happy. she putted it down and starting danceing some more. the goblins were whispering to eachother "this is alot better than Magic Dance"
Jareth woke slowly, he'd been have nightmares and dreams of Bowen....then he felt something on his chest, Moro was still asleep in her wolf form. He ran a hand through her white silkly fur. Then a knock was at the door."Come in." he said thinking it to be Dieja, or Loki. But the goblin king frowned when the goblin entered.(YOU PLAY THE GOBLIN SARAH)
The purple and black ball of butt-ugly fuzz bowed lowly.
Your Highness, Dieja is sitting in your throne, and has appeared to have lost her memory!
Draco packed up his stuff. happy to be leaving his terrible family behind. he was finally going back to the people who really loved him. his father came in him and told him he had something to discuss with him. "Draco i want you to drop the engagment" his father said in a icy tone. "what!" Draco yelled "no! i won't do it!". "you'll do what i say, boy!". "no! i won't!" Draco yelled. then he dissappeared
Jareth crawled out of bed, not wanting to wake Moro. He could easliy get Dieja's memory back.Jareth snapped his fingers and he was fully dressed(same outfit during Magic Dance scene) and disappeared to the throne room.He foud Dieja sitting mindlessly in his throne
Dieja barely even reilized that Jareth was there. Dieja sighed, wondering where she was. She was getting hungry.
Jareth walked over to Dieja and handed her a memory crystal.
Loki was dancing aroung her balcony. she was staring up at the sky as snow lighty fell on her face. she saw Draco reappear in front of her. "Draco! your back i missed you so much!" Loki said running to him and kissing him. "Loki i have something to discuss with you.". "so do i!" Loki said kissing him again.
Jareth walked over to Dieja and handed her a memory crystal.
Dieja looked up into those cold, blue (are they blue? whatever) and took the crystal gratefully. As soon as she touched it, all her memories started flowing back to her. Including the ones she didn't WANT to rememeber.
"Dieja?" Jareth wanted to know if it worked, according to her facial expression her memory had come back.
She smiled as she looked back at Jareth, and handed back the crystal. She suddenly jumped up, out of Jareth's Throne.
Jareth gave Dieja a small smile, "Breakfast will be served in a few minutes." he said disappearing
Yeah... I remeber everything... Dieja assured him, seeing his face. then, her smiled faded. Apparently, her memeory was still coming back to her, and her memory was not long ago a few years back, but then it forwarded up to now, and she remembered that Moro was engaged to Jareth, and she was no longer with him. (okay... for some reason.... I put that.... whatever. *shruggs*
Moro woke and found that Jareth was gone.She assumed he'd gone down to breakfast.She was hungry now that her stomach growled to life.She made her way down to the dinning hall.
Dieja snapped her fingers and was dressed in a pressed silk gown. (have you seen: Voyage of the Unicorn?) Loki stared into Dracos silver eyes. "Draco this is going to be hard to belive but...eh...eh....your a father" loki said as calmly as she could Draco just just stared at her. "thats great" Draco said then he fainted.
Moro walked to Loki's chambers to ask her if she wanted breakfast.She turned back to humanoid form and knocked on the door.
Dieja walked down into the breakfast room and sat down.
MEANWHILE:
Alex stared at Hoggle, then cleared her throat. Hoggle jumped. Hey?!? Who You? Hoggle asked.
"I'm Alex... how are ya Hoggle?"
Hey, How'd ja know me names? Hoggle asked suspisiously as he picked up a faerie~sprayer.
Loki walked to the door and opened it. "Oh hey Moro! Draco back. he passed out after i told him." Loki said cooly.
"I wonder why...." Moro said with sarcasim."Anyway if you want food come and get it."
"sure, im starving." with that Loki left the room dancing and singing down the hallways.
Moro followed Loki to the dinning hall.
when she reached the dining hall she hit a very high note. she noticed everybody looking at her. "ill shut up now" Loki said sheepishly.
A little while later during breakfast.....
"You know, we should do something speical this holiday season." said Moro.She accepted the fact that her cousin was pregnent and nothing she did could stop that."Like what?" Jareth said."Well...on Christmas Eve, we can sing christmas songs, I mean, as far as I know, we've all got good singing voices.So how 'bout it?" Moro said looking at the others.
