Chapter 12

Changes for the Better

Velkari got his messenger fairy back and wanted to know what Jareth was up to. "King Jareth has called Hoggle, Ludo, and Sir Diddymus to help him rescue Sarah."

"That isn't going to work. He needs to plan better."

"Lord Velkari if I may. Why don't you get Lady Sarah out of here yourself."

"Yes thank you Feraesa I will do that."

"Glad to be of help your majesty."
The little fairy went back toward the Goblin castle fearful of what she was going to tell his Majesty.

Sarah sat in her room staring at the wall when she heard a knock on the door. "Come in."

"Lady Sarah."

"Yes. Velkari come in."

"Sarah we should leave the castle tonight. Jareth is planning on sending your friends to come and rescue you."

"I can't leave."

"Why?"

"In order for my plan to work I have to stay here."

"What are you planning?"

"I will kill Kalen on the battle field."

"To make Jareth less guilty then yes."

"Sarah he will not allow you to be a murder."

"I will not let him get hurt because of me. I will kill Kalen and I will do it without help."

"You do not know how to kill a Daemon."

"Do you want to bet? Lanae is helping me make a potion to put on a sword that will kill a Daemon when touched."

"You are crazy Kalen wouldn't let you be on the battle field and even less near a sword."

"I am going to talk with him about that."

"Fine since I can't discourage you I wish you the best of luck."

"Thank you."
Velkari turned and walked out of the room but not before he gave Sarah a hug. "Don't get yourself killed."

"I won't."
Velkari left the room with a heavy heart. He went into the garden and transformed into a swallow. The swallow flew toward the castle of the Goblin King before the magic was stolen from him. The magic balls came and saw nothing where there was supposed to be a magic being. The balls returned to Prince Kalen and told him of the disturbance. "It seems Lady Sarah has had help and a spy. Oh well, bring the girl to me. I am going to show her how she should act." Kalen nodded and the orbs disappeared to go get Sarah.

Sarah walked toward the door and followed the orbs. The orbs led her to the throne room and disappeared. "Lady Sarah what a pleasant surprise."

"Your majesty."

"Sarah you have been charged with treason. How do you plead?"

Sarah looked up shocked and repeated what Kalen said. "Treason Kalen I love you. Why do you accuse me of such an act?"

"It was Fae magic that was here and everyone in the Underground knows you're here."

"That does not mean I am a traitor. I did not see anyone who is Fae."

"Didn't you now?"

"Yes Kalen."

"Then I am sorry my dear."

"Kalen I wanted to talk to you."

"You have my attention."

"I wanted to know if you will let me go on the battle field with you."

"No I can't allow anything to happen to you."

"Please I won't get hurt both the Goblin Kingdom and your kingdom needs me so they won't hurt me."

"Well you do have a point."

"Fine you will accompany me tomorrow on the battle field get some rest."

"Yes Kalen."
Sarah retreated from the room felling very happy. "Tomorrow I will be home." Sarah went back to her room took a bath and got into bed.

In the castle of Jareth things were not going well for Velkari. "SHE WHAT?"

"Jareth calm down she wants to fight in the war."

"She wants to get herself killed that's it."

"Jareth she wants to fight and no one can really stop her."

"I can't allow her to be a murderer."

"Jareth she is doing this for everyone." Jareth sank into his throne and put his head in his hands. "That woman is going to be the death of me I know it."

"Jareth if she does succeed she will complete the prophesy."

"The prophesy to hell with the prophesy. If she gets hurt or dies it won't mean anything."

"We need to concentrate on the battle tomorrow or it won't matter if Sarah is dead or not because you will be."

"You're right." Jareth and Velkari reviewed the battle plans for tomorrow before retiring to bed. Once in his bed chambers Jareth whispered. "How you turn my world you precious thing."

"Lanae is the potion ready for tomorrow?"

"Yes my Lady."

"Alright let's get some sleep we have a long day ahead of us."

"Yes my Lady."

"Goodnight Lanae."

"Goodnight Lady Sarah."
Lanae left the room and walked to her own room. "I hope she does not go through with her plan tomorrow. That girl is just too special to be labeled with murder."
