Evnic jump and ran through the halls when she heard Jareth scream. Seeing him staring at the letter she was scared of the look in his eyes.

"How dare they, t-those those BEASTS! They can't they WON'T win," he said growling.

"W-who won't win, sire?" She asked him. He turned to her and gripped the paper in his hand more.

"They've already started sending her letters. They've started asking for her hand in marriage. I WON'T give her to ANYONE! I will take them all on if I must," he said before looking to the wall. Following his gaze she saw a crystal barn owl who only sat there twisting it's head to side. "Oh she's good. She planned this when she wrote the letter. She wanted me to react. I bet she can see me through her crystal owl." He said pointing to the owl which only tilted it's head to the side. The owl flew to the window landing for a moment to look at them before it seem to dissolve in the sunlight not retaining it's form anymore.

"Sire, Violet told me that her parents plan to hold a festival, at the festival they are going to hold a contest for all of the possible suitors to win a day with her or a kiss. The prize has not been set yet," Evnic told him. His eyes widen before narrowing.

Violet's POV

Humming softly, I was looking out the window as Casper laid his head on my lap facing away from the glass. I was petting his hair as I hummed a song softly.

"Mm~ this is nice. Don't get married too soon, I don't want whoever you choose to take your lap. You're so soft, like a stuffed animal," he said as I rolled my eyes some.

"I feel like you're calling me fat now," I told him. "First I'm a porcelain doll, now I'm fat. Can't seem to be just right in your eyes, maybe I'm so radiant you must take me down a peg or two so my light will dim enough for you."

"Oh please, you're no sun, you're just fun to annoy. Though it's good to see you don't cry every time I do. Saves me from hugging you and kissing you repeatedly over the face," he said as I laughed at him.

"Oh yeah~, I'm still a crybaby though. I'm better at controlling it for more important moments," I told him as he laughed. He then sat up looking to me. I leaned back before gasping as I was tackled to the ground and he was tickling while I screamed out laughing loudly. "NOOO~! WHY MUST YOU BE SO CRUEL!" I couldn't hear much but him laughing as he continued to tickle me.

"Come on, say you admit defeat, say it dragon princess," he said as I shook my head telling him no as I tried to grit my teeth and get away. He only pulled me closer as I squealed out to him pushing my hand against his chin to get him away. Tears soon prickled at my eyes my sides hurting from all the laughter.

"M-Mercy~," I finally cried out and he pulled away as I laid on my side holding it as I groan at how it hurt but couldn't stop smiling the muscles in my cheeks hurting. He wouldn't stop laughing as he pulled me to sit on his lap as he hugged me. "You're mean." I whined as he laughed at me messing up my hair as well. Growling I went to fix it and huffed at it not being as nice as it was before.

"If you want, I can help you learn how to use your magic. You have pretty good control of it, it's not exploding with your emotions and you can transform pretty easily, all good signs of a great magic user," Casper told me as I smiled feeling very proud of myself.

"Yeah that sounds nice, you've always been better at casting spells and conjuring things then I have, Casper. I would be honored to have you as my tutor,"I told him smiling kindly to him. He only laughed hugging me more as I closed my eyes smiling. I then remembered something fun as I smirked. "Remember what we promised each other? That if we got too old and found no one..."

" 'Then we'll marry each other if no one likes us. Cause we like each other good enough.' Yeah I remember, we were such silly kids. Still are," he said andI nod my head more then happy to be a silly kid no matter how old I got. Hearing the door open we looked over and I saw my mother smiling to us.

"I'm glad to see you two haven't changed much. Maybe older but still silly kids doing things their way," she said shaking her head. I giggled before getting up and running to her. Hugging her tightly I was thankful she wore softer clothing instead of her armor. She laughed in my ear before hugging me tightly to her. "Mm~ I've missed our hugs. They always warm my soul up. Never stop giving me hugs. No matter what, I want us to be this close always." I pulled back as she held my face.

"Of course mother, no matter how old I get or what happens, we'll always be close," I told her as I bowed my head feeling her forehead pressing against mine. Standing like that for a minute we pulled back and suddenly I was lifted up as I gasped. Looking it was Casper spinning me around as I giggled smiling brightly.

"You know what? I think I'm going to toy with the goblin King. I'm going to be his rival, at least. I'll make him think that I'm going to steal you away. A childhood friend against a King who wants the Dragon Princess," he said spinning me around more as I squealed some more giggling. A part of me actually like the idea. Just to see how far he would go to win me over. All I've done was try to win over people I love, it's my turn to get wooed instead.

"Alright but don't go too far," I told him. "I don't want to end up married to you, I cherish the sun just a bit more then you." I said smirking. He rolled his eyes dropping me as I cried out some looking up pouting as I rubbed my back.

"Meany~, I was joking." I cried out before letting him help me up. Suddenly I got a wicked idea and shifted to when I was little. Pretending to cry I ran to my mother and hugged her leg looking up at her. "Mama~ Casper, dropped me~! He's a big meany!" I cried as I looked up at her seeing her look at him with loving eyes before picking me up and holding me to her chest as I pretended to cry into her shoulder while looking to Casper with an evil smirk. He glared back whispering something in elvish at me.

"Well let's go see your father and he can teach Casper a lesson, my starlight," she said closing her eyes and walking to the gardens. I cheered happily at the idea.

"Thank you Mama~!" I told her smiling brightly to her and nuzzling her face. I looked to see my father. He seemed shocked to see me little and I made grabby hands at him. He slowly began to smile before walking over and taking me from my mother as he held me to his chest. I hummed happily as I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"My little starlight, what have you been up to?"

Tanis's POV

I watched as my little girl played being little as she spoke to her smiled brightly as she waved her hands around to exaggerate what she did making him laugh. She might have done it to mess with Casper but I knew she was doing it to lift our spirits for missing out on her childhood. It did as she nuzzled into her father as he held her tight to him. It was like before everything happen and she was ripped way with no memories.

"Come on darling, enough shifting. You'll exhaust yourself if you keep it up for too long," I told her as Drago sat her on her feet and she began to shift back once more as she yawned softly leaning against Drago.

"Already exhausted?" He asked and she shook her head some.

"No, just a little sleepy, I sent letters out to Jareth and Evnic, chasing Casper in dragon form, and then shifting just now," Violet said smiling softly. Drago lifted her up and smiled gently down at her.

"Then you should go rest, let's go to the garden," Drago told her as she began humming softly.

"Let's go in the garden

You'll find something wait

Right were you left

Lying upside down...," she sang softly.

"When you finally find it

You'll see how it's faded

The underside is lighter

when you turn it around," Drago sang as i shook my head giggling some at my two singers.

"Everything stays

Right where you left

Everything stays

But it's still changes

Ever so slightly

Daily and nightly

In little ways

When everything stays." Watching them just sing and hum I couldn't help the giggles leaving me as I just watched them. They defiantly had to sing at the festival. I know everyone would love to hear them sing. I remember them going out and walking the streets. Luci sat on her father's shoulders as he started singing and she would join in making everyone smile where they went. Turning to Casper he was smiling watching them go.

"I'm glad you could come over, Casper. Any word about your parents?" I asked him.

"Father can't wait to see you and is tending to matters. Mother weeps in joy that you have returned home. They are still separated but are willing to put their differences aside to support The Braveheart Kingdom," he said as I nod my head.

Violet's POV

I went out to the streets running through them seeing how everyone was doing. Turning sharply at a corner I saw a family working on a house as the kids painted the front door with pictures. I smiled giggling as I saw an older woman with greying hair step out holding a tray of lemonade and cookies. She looked to me her eyes widening. I waved then notice the tray began to fall as I moved over quickly catching it.

"O-Oh my I'm sorry Princess, I-I just got so excited," she said as I giggled smiling brightly setting the tray on a table.

"It's fine, I'm so glad everyone is doing well. Is there anything I can do to help?" I asked her before she looked at me wide eye.

"W-what will the Queen and King think of you helping us? You should be home resting and spending time with your family," she said and I smiled more.

"My father knows I'm out wandering the streets and has told mother. As long as I'm careful I'll be fine. Now please, I really want to help. You all are my family and if I can help out then I'll rest easy tonight. Please give me something to do," I told her before taking her hands as she seemed shock before smiling sweetly to me.

"Well, we've missed you and your father's singing through the streets. I know I would love to hear it once more," she told me bringing my hands to her chest as she smiled up at me. I smiled more nodding my head.

"Then I shall sing for you and everyone else," I told her smiling gently. Moving to stand back some I looked to everyone thinking of the right song to sing. I spun around as a grin formed on my face as the children gathered around the older woman as some of the people looked to me from the roofs or where they worked.

"A single thread in a tapestry
Through its color brightly shine
Can never see its purpose
In the pattern of the grand design

And the stone that sits on the very top
Of the mountains mighty face
Does it think its more important
Than the stones that form the base?

So how can you see what your life is worth
Or where your value lies?
You can never see through the eyes of man
You must look at your life

Look at your life through heavens eyes." I began to sing as they began to cheer smiling and even singing along as I began to dance hearing the beat they made. The kids came over and began to dance and hop around me as I smiled brightly singing louder for them to hear. I began to clap my hands as I danced the kids mimicking my movement or just twirling around me. I smiled as I pulled the woman to dance with me and the children as we smiled brightly. Finishing the song I held my arms open as I smiled brightly to the sky. Everyone cheered smiling brightly as I see their spirits lifted as I smiled brightly giving a curtsy to them. Then I was tackled by the kids as they hugged me and ask me to sing again as I giggled some smiling brightly. Getting up one kid was on my shoulders as I carried another in my arms, two on each side of me held on to my dress as I smiled to them.

"Why don't we go somewhere inside and color together," I offered to them. They nod pulling me to where they had built a church of sorts. Walking in we sat in between the pews or laid on our bellies as we colored. I told them of my time on Earth and what it was like being with the Goblin King.

"Really, you love him? Did you kiss him?" a little girl asked me as I giggled blushing brightly nodding my head. The boys made noises of disgust as I stuck my tongue out at them making them all giggle. "Will you marry him?"

"I'm not sure, you see he also likes another woman. I'm selfish though and want him to love me only. Not the other woman so I told him he would have to win my heart back. There are a lot of Kings, princes, and others that want my hand in marriage," I told them.

"How romantic," one girl squealed as I giggled smiling brightly to them. "Is he going to fight for you, give you all the jewels in the world?"

"Oh oh oh, he should give you roses, a thousand roses," one girl said as she waved her hands. I laughed smiling brightly behind my hand.

"I want him to sing to me," I admitted as the girls giggled.

"That sounds so stupid," a boy said as the little girl pulled his hair making him cry out in pain as his eyes watered some. "What's that for?!"

"It's not stupid, it's romantic," she said as the little girl in my lap nod her head.

"When you sing, you bear your soul if you sing truly. Your feels show when you sing. You can't hide what's inside when you sing," I told them putting a hand to my heart then to my neck closing my eyes. "No, jewel, great deed, or possessions can capture what's inside if you aren't willing to express it willingly." The girls hummed happily before moving to hug me tightly.

"Does that mean you love us cause you sing so pretty," one asked and I smiled nodding my head.

"You all are my family, I love you all and am glad to be back where I belong," I told them. They smiled giggling as we went back to coloring and drawing as I hummed softly. It grew darker outside so I formed crystals to lighten the building as they floated around us. Leaning back against the pew I closed my eyes relaxing. The noise slowly fell on death ears to me but I jumped as someone touched my shoulder. Opening my eyes I saw it was the older woman her black eyes looking down at me. I rubbed my eye as I looked to see the kids had left. They had left me their pictures in my lap.

"You should head back to the castle, princess. It's getting late," she told me. Nodding my head I stretched before getting up and smiling brightly to her.

"Be safe," I told her bowing some as she laughed smiling brightly.

"Shouldn't I be the one bowing to you princess?" She asked me.

"Nah, you don't have to bow to me. Like I've said, you're all my the kids I had a nice day and please rest as well. You deserve it," I told her as we stepped outside. I stopped seeing everyone that was working earlier that day standing there and smiling to me.

"Make sure to eat princess!"

Be safe getting home princess!"

"We love you princess!"

"Welcome home!" I heard some people say as I smiled brightly giggling.

"It's good to be home. Good night," I told them before crouching as I began to shift flapping my wings as I flew back home smiling. Clutching the drawings in my claw I twirled in the air before gliding down to the castle. Twisting around the roof of a tower I slid down entering through the balcony to my room as I shifted back and sat the drawings on my desk. Looking to the mirror I notice something strange with my hair asI raised an eyebrow at it.

Author's Note: Songs- 1. Everything Stays by Rebecca Sugar 2. Through Heaven's Eyes from The Prince of Egypt

Mm~ this chapter was fun to do. Took me sometime to get what I wanted exactly down but still enjoyed writing this chapter. I'm thinking to do a time skip to like a couple months into the future when the festival happens. I know I haven't brought up the enemy and it's like they completely forgot about the person/people that attacked the Braveheart Kingdom. Don't worry, they haven't forgotten, they remember clearly it's just... Family, family is more important then revenge. That's right, I believe love conquers all. Death maybe absolute but love remains. That was a bit random but I'm sure you get it, I hope. _ Have a nice day and I hope you enjoy the latest chapter in the story.
