Princes, Kings, and Jareth, Oh My!

Six carriages sat out front. Six men waited to be addressed by the Goblin King. This was not an easy thing for Jareth to do. He had never had so many guests staying at the castle at one time. This was also playing on his mind. There was little voice in his head telling him that this was not a good idea for Sarah. He did swear that if anything were to happen to Sarah, someone would pay, dearly.

Sallina tried to keep as calm as ever. At the moment she was helping Sarah pick a dress out. She had decided to disguise herself in order to follow Sarah. This was not an easy task . For one thing Sallina didn't want to dye her hair, even if it wasn't permanent and she wanted to face them head on and not care about the consequences. Sarah told her not to, because then she would miss her friend if she was taken away. Sallina consented and Kera helped dye the blonde's hair a light purple color.

The newly arrived guests were placed in a council room and were seated. Jareth entered only a few minutes after. The men were chatting randomly. Jareth cleared his throat and silence consumed the room. Jareth took a good look at each of the men in the room. He took a deep breath and then spoke.

"You have all come here to meet the new Spirit Fae in the Underground," Jareth said. "Her name is Sarah Williams and she has agreed to meet you all. Though I must warn you of two things, she can be very stubborn and Sarah is blind," Jareth said. There was a collected gasp, but Jareth ignored it.

"You mean the magic of the Underground could not cure her?" a young prince asked. He had a icy blue hair in a loose ponytail that ran down his back. His sea-green eyes looked curiously into Jareth's.

"No, she became blind when she was Aboveground," Jareth answered.

"I'm curious, like Prince Zane, how long has she been in your kingdom, Jareth?" the man sitting opposite of Jareth at the head of the table asked. Jareth was very close to growling at his older brother. His older brother had dark red hair and mismatched eyes like his brother (Black and Yellow).

"A week, Halem," Jareth said, regaining his composure. Suddenly a door opened and everyone turned, thinking it was Sarah. Many were disappointed. Cypress stood in doorway with a feral grin on his lips.

"The spy appears," a dark voice announced sarcastically.

"Gabriel, what are you doing in the sun?" Cypress jabbed. The vampire prince bared his fangs and his silver eyes flashed. Gabriel had black hair that reached the middle of his back with silver highlights running through it.

"Gentlemen, please," a crisp voice interrupted their staring contest. The King of elves turned back to Jareth. "Jareth, you have invited us here, but where is the lady?" he asked. His blue eyes searching for answers. He had short black hair.

"Be patient, King Argus, she will come," Jareth said. Cypress closed the door and went over and leaned on the wall, facing the royalty.

"I think we've been patient long enough," a gruff voice said. Jareth glared to his right at the Centaur king. Though he did not look like the creatures he ruled he could still be as pushy. His black eyes looked from one man to the other and his dark brown hair lay limp at his shoulders.

"Yes, we've waited to see your little secret Jareth, now where is she?" a cold voice noted.

"Don't worry, Prince Octavio, she is coming," Cypress said before Jareth, "But be careful her lady-in-waiting is a hot number," he warned with a grin. Prince Octavio glared at the spy, his green eyes showing dislike. His hair was rich brown with blue streaks running through it.

Suddenly there was another knock on the door. All the men were silent until the door opened. The men were disappointed again.

"The lady requests that the gentlemen greet her in the gardens, your majesty," Sallina stood in the doorway, her head bowed.

"Very well," Jareth said, "You may leave," he told her. She was about to close the door when someone stopped her.

"Wait," Halem interrupted. Sallina's nerves stood on end. Had they discovered her already? "Why the gardens?" he asked. Sallina smiled in relief.

"The lady did not say, milord," Sallina answered, bowed, and shut the door. She quickly went off to find Sarah. That was too close for comfort.

"Well, gentlemen, if you will follow me, we will proceed to the gardens," Jareth said and motioned to the door. They stood up and started to exit the room. Jareth tried his hardest to keep his temper down. The gardens? Why there? Cypress snuck off to do other work.

When they did enter the place blooming with life their ears were greeted with light laughter. The seven surprised men followed a small path that led to a large fountain. On the edge sat Sarah and Sallina. Sarah was laughing and holding a long rose. Sallina smiled to herself then noticed the men.

"Lady," Sallina said, "I believe the gentleman have arrived," Sarah wore a long dark green dress. She was barefoot and was smiling happily. She turned her head in direction of the men. Kera then chose that time to fly past the men and towards Sarah.

"Sorry, Lady Sarah, I was trying to find you, when a goblin told me you were here," Kera said as she gasped for air. Sarah held out her hand and the little faerie landed on it. Sarah giggled slightly.

"That's alright, Kera, you arrived just in time," Sarah said gently. She set Kera on her shoulder. "Now, someone told me we have guests?" Sarah said. Jareth stepped forward.

"Lady Sarah, these men are the people that wanted to greet you," he told her. Sarah could tell that he was not exactly happy with meeting here.

"The lady asked that each man could step forward one at a time and greet her," Sallina told the royalty.

"Who's first?" Sarah asked with a smile and stood up. Her dress falling to her feet. She stepped forward slightly. Her jade eyes shown trust, which surprised the male Fae in front of her.

Prince Octavio stepped forward first. He grasped Sarah's hand and brought it to his lips. "I'm Prince Octavio of the Ice-lands, your lady. It is an honor to finally meet you," he said. Sarah had to use all her will power not to blush. The prince stepped back.

The next to step up was King Argus. He laid a chaste kiss on knuckles, "I'm King Argus of the Elves, it is a pleasure to meet you," he said. Sarah smiled and he stepped back.

"I'm Prince Gabriel Black, of the vampire kingdom, m'lady," the vampiric prince placed a small peck on Sarah hand. Sarah was slightly taken by surprise at the coldness of his lips.

King Sephel was little bit more annoying. He only kissed Sarah's hand, but it was to long for Sarah's comfort. "I am King Sephel of the centaur kingdom," he said rather loudly. Sarah kept a smile on as he stepped back.

"The rumor hardly do you justice, lady," Prince Zane complimented, "I'm prince of the Merfolk," he told her. Sarah nodded in understanding and smiled in welcoming.

"I'm very surprised my brother did not tell me about you, Lady," Halem kissed Sarah's hand and noted the spark in Jareth's eyes. "I am King Halem of the magic kingdom. I did bring a gift, I just wonder where he went," he said and Sarah gave him a confused look. Then there was a small mewing-like noise. "Ah there he is," Halem said and held out his hand. A small dragon, no bigger than a astringe egg, landed on his hand.

"Is that what I think it is?" Sarah asked bluntly. Halem chuckled.

"Yes, m'lady, this a dragon," he said and took Sarah's hand. He set the small creature in her hand. Kera growled at it. The red scaled thing hissed back at her.

"Eeep!" Kera hid behind Sarah's shoulder. Sarah giggled and held the dragon towards Kera.

"Kera, calm down, it's just a baby," Sarah said.

"Careful, Lady Sarah," Sallina got, "Though it may be a baby they can still pack fire," she said. The dragon looked to Sallina, it made a hiccup sound a small fire ball flew towards Sallina. "Play nice," she said and caught the small ball of flame easily. The dragon cooed and snuggled up to Sarah.

"Hey, she's my Lady, get your own!" Kera complained to the small dragon. The creature seemed to smile. "Hey, what's with the goofy look?" the dragon used his little wings and flew towards Kera. "AH!" Kera screamed and flew towards Sallina. Kera zoomed past. Sallina reached up and grabbed the dragon out of the air as he tried to fly by.

"We wouldn't want Sarah's gift to fly away, now would we?" Sallina said and scratched it under the chin. It cooed again. Sarah smiled.
