Chapter 2: Q and A
It was a week after the wedding and Jareth and Sarah had finally emerged from their chambers for an entire day. The couple was sitting in the garden watching Toby run around with his goblin friend Spick, but after a while Sarah turned to Jareth, a more serious look on her face.
"Jareth?"
"Yes love."
"I have some questions, and I'd like you to answer them. We didn't really discuss the ah, changes I would undergo when we were married. So I want you to please tell me the details of my becoming fae. Would you do that?"
"Of course Sarah. Now as you know you have become fae. I'm sure you are aware of the subtle changes in your appearance," she nodded at this and he continued. "Well besides that you are now quite near to being immortal. We don't live forever but we don't die unless we are mortally wounded or we let go and choose to die."
"You can choose to die?"
"He nodded slowly in the affirmative. "Yes Sarah. You see some fae, when they have lived a very long time become tired of life. They can then choose to die and move on. Other than that you probably have noticed you are less tired than before," he smirked at that and Sarah batted him away playfully. "Yes well anyway. You are now less prone to illness, though you can still get sick it will happen less often. Other than that there's only really the ability to perform magic."
She continued nodding her head slowly as she had been for the last few minutes while Jareth spoke until his last words hit her.
"Magic?" She looked at him with excitement brimming in her bright green eyes.
"That's right love. Magic."
"So when do I learn?"
He laughed at her eagerness and wrapped a loving arm around her shoulder. "Soon Sarah, You need to wait for your powers to settle within you first. Your magic will be the same as mine since it was my blood that changed you. Even now you have magic, though it is only weak. In another week or so it should begin to strengthen and then we can begin to train."
"Oh, wow. I hadn't really though about that, I mean, so much has happened and then I was sick and we had to rush but, wow."
He smiled at the grin that hadn't left her face for some time now. "You alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Well in that caseā¦"He turned her head towards his and placed a gentle, but breath taking kiss upon her lips.
When they parted she rested her head upon his shoulder and began to watch her brother once more. "I love you Jareth."
He kissed her forehead before whispering back to her. "And I love you my Queen."
