The queen of goblins "Majesty you haven't touched your dinner!" the dark haired woman rolled her eyes in disgust at the creature that whined to her. They were always whining at her for something, for her to eat, for her to dress like a woman, for her to visit her parents in their new court. It wasn't new exactly, they had been ruling the underground for nearly seventy years now, and she had bee stuck with her father's mess of goblins for nearly the same length.
"This is a test of nobility my dear child," her tutor's words echoed through her mind as she stared out the window at the silver moon that hung high in a black velvet back drop that was the sky. "Every ruler of the underground must rule the goblins and the labyrinth to prove themselves worthy leaders, your father, his father, his father's fathers-" not wanting to be lectured by a memory she turned back to the ugly creature that stood before her.
He was her steward, a goblin with pale topey colored skin and violet eyes that seemed to flash with annoyance only when she was concerned. He was tall for a goblin, his stature brought him up to her hip, though seeing as she was still taller than he and Fae did him no good, especially when trying to force her to eat.
" Kathryn I am begging you eat!" his voice was nails on a slate board to her. Instead of acknowedleing his presence she regarded her reflection in a crystal. Mismatched eyes of sky blue and sea green stared back, very much like her father, most of her siblings were, but she was the only one with her mother's coffee colored hair. Along with the rest of her siblings she was tall and lengthy, as her mother put it 'she had legs from here to the sky' an above ground saying, one of many her mother said. She had her father's smile one of sensuality but touched with cruelness that seemed to have a wide steak in her family, she was her father's child in every sense of the word, though she was female, she was a spitting reflection of her father, Jareth the ex-goblin king.
"Get out Didomus." her words seemed to have an effect and the goblin scurried out without another word. She never yelled or screamed at the creatures she ruled, her soft voice laced with her iron will was enough to make any one of the goblins obey when she spoke. Looking back at her reflection she smirked at her self, the whole court had been in arms when her father had announced her has the heir to his kingdom, most thought her younger brother Toby would succeed his father when he became high king. Toby, the thought of her twin made her wince. He had died a long time ago, to her at least he was dead. he had made his choice, the aboveground and Kathryn respected him for giving up everything he knew to see what his mother only described in bed time stories. But he was gone and she had been given his place. Throwing the crystal with all her might she watched it shatter, the tiny shards glowed and disappeared giving her no satisfaction in seeing anything broken. She hated the Labyrinth, though when she had begun her rule it had changed. Instead of the walls of hedges and of discolored rock roses as thick and as high as ever and white marble had formed, the bog (which had been her father's favorite threat) had become a lake surrounded by cliffs of crystal rock. In the day those stones caught the light and blinded all who looked, but at night they glowed with what they had stored during the day giving off a pale luminescence that gave the entire labyrinth an eerie glow. Each part that had been dirty and unclean in her fathers rule had become beautiful, never the less dangerous, but now the danger was hidden behind a mask of radiance and splendor.
"Kathryn." Turning on her heel she smiled at the tall dark haired woman who shimmered with glitter as she formed. Her emerald green eyes flashed as she stepped forward. "Hello mother.."
