Author's Note: Well, here it is, the last chapter! This has been such a great ride, I've loved every minute of it! Thank you so much to all my wonderful readers (especially Moonjava and Nugrey-you two are fantastic); your comments helped more than you know! I love you guys!

This is not the end of this particular story, however. I'm working on another one (a sequel to a prequel? Who'd ever think of that). It is going to be called Queen of the Wilis, and should lead straight up to the opening scenes of Labyrinth. The question is, should I put it up? When you review this chapter, please also tell me if you would like the new story posted here. Thanks again! And one more time, Labyrinth and all characters you recognize from the film are not mine. Drat! Please review!

Epilogue

"And so, Princess Adina was crowned Queen of the Faeries," Sarah's mother finished, smiling at her daughter.

"Did she live happily ever after?" Sarah asked, looking curious.

"Well..." her mother teased, thinking hard. "You'll have to find out for yourself. Now, you need to go to sleep." She leaned over and kissed Sarah, the little girl promptly returning the gesture. "Good night, Sarah."

" 'Night, Mommy. I love you!"

Sarah's mother closed the bedroom door, and headed for her own room. Selecting a nightgown, she jumped, hearing, "What a charming story. You do realize you left out a few details."

Spinning around, Sarah's mother saw Adina sitting on the windowsill. "Your Highness-"

-here Sarah's mother relaxed- "How long have you been sitting and listening?"

"Long enough, Galinda dear." Adina stood, and calmly walked up to her. "It is nice of you to tell Sarah about us Underground denizens, especially when in a few years she'll see it all for herself."

"It's Linda now, Your Highness," Linda Williams said angrily. "And don't you touch my daughter!"

"There's nothing you can do to stop it. The Fates have everything already planned, you know that. Even I can't touch the future, merely see it," Adina shrugged, pushing back her cape.

"Will she be okay?" Linda whispered.

"Yes." Adina started back for the window, then stopped. "Give Sarah this." She tossed Linda a velvet sack.

"What's-"

"It's from Jareth," Adina stood, framed in the windowsill. "and me." And she was gone, a hawk soaring through the night.

Hesitantly, Linda opened the sack, afraid that the siblings- half siblings, she corrected herself- had something inside to pull Sarah Underground.

She left out a sigh of relief. "It's a book, a little red book," Linda said aloud. "Called The Labyrinth. " Inside was the story she had just told Sarah, and what looked to be many more. "I'll give it to her- maybe tomorrow," she surmised. Linda shook her head at it all. "What harm can a book do?"

Far in the night sky, a hawk and a white barn owl flew together. Swooping around, they had the same thought, having heard Galinda/Linda. Oh, you don't know at all, Galinda. Not one bit.

That comment flowing through, off flew the Goblin King and his sister the Faerie Queen, knowing of the events to come.

Not the End...Only the Beginning.
