Jareth was looking for Violet and looked to Evnic and Lucifer. Walking over to them he had a concern look on his face.
"Have either of you seen Violet? I lost sight of her," Jareth said he looked around as Evnic's eyes widen.
"What? Last I saw her coming from the balcony," Lucifer told him.
"Maybe she's-
"Hear my silent prayer
Heed my quiet call
When the dark and blue surround you
Step into my sigh look inside the light
You will know I have found you..." They heard Violet's voice begin to sing as they turned. Jareth pushed through everyone to see her standing in the middle of the ballroom right underneath the red moon glow. Her eyes were closed as her hands were clasped to her chest.
"Elgara vallas da'len
Melava somniar
Mala tara aravas
Ara ma'desen melar
Iras ma ghilas da'len
Ara ma'nedan ashir
Dirthara lothlenan'as
Bal emma mala dir
Tel'enfenim, da'len
Irassal ma ghilas
Ma garas mir renan
Ara ma'athlan vhenas Opening her eyes they glowed and looked more like dragon eyes as everyone gasped whispering.
Ara ma'athlan vhenas," Suddenly a roar could be heard, an out cry as everyone looked for the source. Suddenly it appeared through the balconies on either side of where Violet stood. To her left was a pure white dragon with feathers and scales that glisten in the light of the red moon. To her right a rainbow serpent whose claws dug into the stone scratching it making everyone inside step away from them. They began to glow as they flew in swirling as they became smaller before the light faded as they stood in front of Violet. Looking to them Violet's eyes began to water as she smiled to them. They smiled back as the woman that wore dark armor with a cape embraced Violet as her emerald eyes became misty with tears as well.
"Oh my little girl! I've missed you so much," she said to Violet as she began speaking in an ancient tongue. The man with long pearl white hair and violet eyes wearing similar armor held his wife and child before pulling back and looking around the ballroom. Jareth stepped out from the crowd boldly walking over. Standing in front of the man he removed his mask then gave a deep bow.
"King Drago, I am the Goblin King, Jareth," he said as Violet looked to him and wondered what he thought. Looking to her father he lifted his hand and pat Jareth on the head before removing his hand.
"Thank you for watching over my daughter while my wife and I were gone," he addressed Jareth before looking to his daughter who smiled gently to him.
"This must be a trick!" Came a voice from the crowd. Violet's mother growled stepping next to her husband.
"Then come face us then. I'd be more then happy to prove you wrong," she said cracking her knuckles. "Are enemies may think they have slain us but we stand before you as proof that the Braveheart Kingdom is not dead. We live and will become stronger then ever."
"Liarssss! That girl reakssss of mortal," a lizard like voice said. Looking to Violet she pulled the pins from her hair letting them drop as her hair fell around her face and her eyes glowed.
"Perfumes can easily mask the scent of anyone if you know the right person with the right herbs," she said standing in between her father and mother. Running a hand through her hair she pulled it out of the way as the distinct pointed ears were seen. She then looked to their skeptical looks and stepped closer holding her hands out. "Please, believe my mother and father. They are King Drago and Queen Tanis, and I am their daughter. I am Violet Artemis Braveheart, all of us had to go into hiding to protect those left in our kingdom. For our people and for those that would risk their lives to protect us." Tyron and Selena stepped up as Selena had her hands over her mouth looked to Tanis then to Drago. Tyron and Selena both knelt and bowed their heads.
"We're sorry we failed you. We promised to always be there for you and yet we weren't," Tyron told them as Selena nod her. Others began to kneel or bow saying their apologies as Tanis smiled kindly.
"Please do not bow or kneel. This is a ball, you should be laughing and dancing. Your apologies are not needed but are appericiated," Tanis told them. Drago then stepped in front of Jareth and bowed his head.
"I am sorry to have interrupted your ball. If it is not a bother, could we ask to go somewhere so we can talk to our daughter privately? We have much to discuss now that we are together once more," he told Jareth lifting his head. Jareth nod his head escorting them out of the ballroom.
Violet's POV
I looked to Jareth as he walked ahead of us. I wanted to know what he thought but I was brought out of my thoughts as I looked up at my father as he squeezed my shoulder. Smiling to him I smiled to my mother glad that my memories had returned and that the missing piece of me had returned. Seeing we were going to the dining hall. A sad thought came to mind knowing I probably would no long eat here with Jareth or walk the halls with him. Walking past Jareth to enter the room before feeling him take my hand. Looking to him I stepped closer to him looking to his face. He didn't look at me for a long moment before his eyes met mine.
"That was a beautiful song you sang tonight," he told me as I smiled.
"My father is a talented singer besides leader. He sang me all types of lullabies when I was little," I told him smiling at the memories that seemed so fresh in my mind. Looking down I bit my lip. "I had planned to sing a different song, just for you Jareth but I needed them to hear me." Feeling him hold my face I looked up to him to see him rubbing my cheek.
"Your makeup got ruined from your crying," he mumbled looking to my face as I giggled.
"Violet," I heard my mother call I smiled waving to her before turning only to see he had disappeared. Closing my eyes I hoped to see him soon, I already missed his touch. Stepping into the dining hall I closed the door before running and hugging my father squeezing him.
"I was scared Papa, not remembering and feeling like a part of me was trapped away in a strange land was frightening," I told him as he hugged me back just as tightly kissing the top of my head. Pulling back I looked to them. "What if they come back to attack us again?" Feeling my father's hand on my head and pressing his forehead to mine I looked to him.
"Then they will have to face us in a fair fight. They can't sneak up on us this time," he told me as I nod my head believing in his words. My mother moved and held my face as I held her hand looking to her.
"You've become so beautiful Violet, more beautiful then I could ever dream," she said as I blushed closing my eyes.
"Well she gets that from you darling. After all you are the most beautiful creature in all the land," he said putting his arm around her waist as she blushed sinking into the cowl of her cape. I giggled smiling brightly.
"How did you come back to the underground, my starlight? Last we saw you, you were taken to the mortal land," she asked me and I smiled sadly deciding to start at the beginning.
"I was adopted into a nice family who also named me Violet. I grew up, I even had a little sister and baby brother. I was with a guy who I found out was cheating on me and I broke up with him. He had wished me away and I ended up here in Jareth's kingdom. I've been here for a month or so, I stopped counting the days after a while. He's been nothing but kind to me and I'm friend's with a healer here. Evnic is great and they've been helping me as I began to remember. I would not have survived or kept my sanity if it weren't for them," I told them. I then saw how mother looked to my father with a smirk. I raised an eyebrow at them. My father crossed his arms as my mother giggled.
"Do you love him?" He then asked as my eyes widen and I blushed looking away before looking to him.
"I do," I mumbled before looking away as I moved in front of the empty fireplace. "I don't know if he feels the same anymore though. He told me that no matter what happen he would but... but I don't think this is what he had in mind. He fell in love with a mortal with childish outlook on life. I don't think he expected that same girl to be a dragon and princess to a forgotten kingdom. He barely looks at me." I told them.
"He's probably frighten by your father, he doesn't want make a wrong move and anger him," my mother told me holding me. "If he is anything like when your father and I were young, you are invading his thoughts right now and he can't wait to hold you as soon as the two are alone. Just give him time, this is alot for everyone." Sighing I know she was right but it didn't stop my worry. Rubbing the back of my neck I felt so itchy, like I wanted to claw out of my skin.
"Oh I know that look, you want to go dragon, don't you?" Mother asked me and I looked to her.
"Yeah, with everything that's happen, and it's been so long," I said my shoulders slumping over some as she smiled holding my shoulder.
"Do you know a way outside where no one else is around?" My father asked as I smiled nodding my head.
"Come on," I told them removing my shoes I lifted some of my dress so it would be easier to walk. I led them out into the halls skipping as I open the door leading to the bridge that connected to the tower next to it. I stood out there holding my arms out and feeling the wind against my face. Looking to my mother and father. They smiled to me and I watched as they jumped and shifted in midair flying around. Stepping back to the edge I closed my eyes falling backwards as I breathed out the magic that had been building in me for years. Letting it consume me I opened my eyes flapping my wings as I flew towards the sky. Seeing my mother twirl around me then my father I smiled feeling free. Gliding through the air I banked around the castle flapping my wings I went higher moving to wrap around the roof of the throne room tower. Closing my eyes I hummed feeling like I was free.
Jareth's POV
Everyone was demanding to see the Braveheart family. Thankfully Selena and Tyron helped me, as well as some of the other older beings got the younger from getting wild and to head back to their lands. Evnic came running to me with Lucifer running beside her.
"What is it?" I asked her as she took a couple deep breaths.
"There... outside... flying around... the castle," she said as Lucifer pat her back.
"You should go see it for yourself Jareth. Even Violet is in dragon form," he told me. My eyes widen as I went to the window sill transforming into my owl form going upwards. Then I saw a white tail swaying. Turning my head I turned seeing a large white dragon with iridescent scales that shined the colors of the rainbow, the head was slim as white fur surrounded their face large violet eyes looking towards the sky, large feathered wings folded against their back, she had no other limbs besides her front short paws with golden claws, and horns that start behind her ears twisted back towards the sky. Seeing those violet eyes look to me I knew instantly it was Violet. She turned towards me as I flew in front of her face. I then moved and flew down to the gardens. Turning slightly I saw her follow as I shifted back into my normal form. Looking to her twirled through the air before a white light took over her form as she changed in midair falling towards the ground. Catching her she giggled some smiling brightly to me as I saw how her teeth were sharpen slightly. Setting her down on her feet I saw she wasn't wearing her shoes.
"Why aren't you wearing shoes?" I asked her and she giggled running a hand through her hair.
"They got in the way and I was just excited to shift," she said smiling gently to me. Smiling some taking her hand I walked her to the water fountain as I sat down. She lean over looking into the water. "Augh, I'm an ugly crier. I ruined Evnic's and my hard work." She mumbled before lifting the water into her hands and scrubbing her face clean. I chuckled some smiling to her. She truly hadn't changed that much, she was still just Violet. Taking a handkerchief out of thin air I pulled her to sit as I dipped it into the water began to help clean her face as she blushed gently closing her eyes. Once I was down I continued to hold her face running my thumb over her bottom lip as she blushed a bit more. Taking my hand away she open her eyes looking to me. She would have to leave and go back home.
"Jareth?" Looking to her she seemed worried and I realized I had spaced out some.
"Could you sing me the song you wanted to sing for me?" I then asked her. Her face brighten at the idea as she sat up some smiling. She had moved to close her eyes like she always did while singing but instead looked me in the eyes not moving her eyes from mine.
"I've seen the world, done it all, had my cake now
Diamonds, brilliant, in Bel Air now
Hot summer nights, Mid- July
When you and I were forever wild
The crazy days, city lights
The way you'd play with me like a child
Will you still love me
When I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me
When I got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?" She sang as I felt her put her whole heart into it.
"I've seen the world, lit it up as my stage now
Channeling angels in a new age now
Hot summer days, rock and roll
The way you play for me at your show
And all the ways I got to know
Your pretty face and electric soul..." She closed her eyes some as she continued to sing like her life depended on it.
"Dear lord, when I get to heaven
Please let me bring my man
When he comes tell me that you'' let him in
Father tell me if you can
All that grace, all that body
All that face makes me wanna party
He's my sun, he makes me shine like diamonds." Smiling near the end she open her eyes taking my hand as she held it before bringing it to her chest as I felt her heart beating against her chest rapidly.
"Will you still love me
When I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me
When I got nothing but my aching soul
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me?" She looked to me almost tears in her eyes. Oh gods I do, I've made her think I don't when I do. I truly utterly do. Moving to her I took her into my arms kissing her once more. It wasn't as gentle as our others but it held all the love I had for her in it. Feeling her arms wrap around my neck I slid my hand into her hair holding the back of her head. Securing my arm around her waist I didn't want to let her go. Not now, not for the rest of time. Finally pulling back I pressed my forehead to her own as we caught our breaths. "I love you, I love you, I love you." she said tears falling down her face as I smiled kissing them away.
"Don't cry my sweet songbird, no need for tears," I told her removing my gloves as I held her face and she closed her eyes.
"I can't help it, I'm just really emotional," she mumbled as I chuckled pecking her lips before pulling her into my lap as she buried her head into my shoulder. "I really thought you would stop loving me because I was different."
"No no no, never, I was just... surprised and in awe. That and I really didn't want your parents seeing me kiss you. They are frightening dragon parents that could squash me," I told her as she giggled lifting her head and kissing his cheek.
"They would have to go through me first," she told me as I smiled chuckling some. She then slid from my lap and stood up smiling brightly as she stepped back some. "Though I would love to sit in your lap and get kisses from you, I still have an itch I need to scratch." She then began running as the same pure white light took over her body as she began to fly through the air twirling and doing loops through the air. Soon I followed taking my owl form as I followed after. Seeing her parents zoom past me I backed up giving them space as they twirled around Violet and brushed, nuzzled, and purred to her. She did the same as I decided to go back inside.
Author's Note: Sup, I was totally going to post this last night but I needed to sleep so I didn't, my apologies.
The first song is actually a combination of two songs I found on youtube. The first part is Dreamcatcher by Secret Garden and the second is watch?v=Zl3CmzQY1So. The second song is 'Young and Beautiful' by Lana Del Rey, I mostly used adrisaurus cover of the song then the actual song. I actually played it on repeat over ten times cause I just loved it. I can't promise back to back updates like this cause creativity is a flowing creek and sometimes it over flows or starts to dry up. I do hope you liked this chapter and I do recommend listening to the songs, you don't have to. It's your life and I hold no control over it. I'm happy to write and for you all to read it, whether you like it or not, you stopped and took the time to read my story. Thank you, so much.
