"Pardon my intrusion." Ryvn turned to look at the stranger who was approaching. He was dressed like everyone else, however it seemed like no one wanted him there. May who just wanted to go back to the labyrinth looked back over at Jareth. She was surprised to see his face widened with terror as the stranger approached.

Jareth who was mere inches away from getting May back to safety froze dead in his tracks as the man brushed past him to face Ryvn.

"But I do believe that you've upset this woman." The Elf King took a step back. The stranger removed his mask. May took ahold of Jareth's hand when she saw that the man had nothing behind the mask but a thick smoke. The smoke danced around, slowly taking shape. Then suddenly the smoke vanished and a elf like face took its place. Ryvn almost fell over when he stared at the stranger.

The stranger's expressed turned from neutral to anger as he touched his new face.

"Please don't hurt me." The Elf King mumbled as he took a step away from the man. The stranger smirked at the King.

"I'm here to set forth simple justice. If you think that means I'll have to hurt you then I will." The stranger's voice seemed different from before.

"I didn't want to kill you. It's just that an example had to be made!" The Elf King stammered as he looked frantically around for an exit. May looked around the room to see fear in everyone's eyes.

"I'm not him!" The stranger yelled in frustration. It took him a moment but the stranger regained his composure, "I just want you to apologize to the young lady." He pointed over to May who had started to lose interest in going back to the labyrinth.

"W-what for?"Ryvn stammered out, truly believing he had done nothing wrong.

"For talking about her like she was livestock."

"But she's human…" The elf king replied in confusion.

"Lady Serkirk, you'll need to apologize too." The stranger said while placing his mask back on.

"Lord Damasio, She isn't worthy of it. She has ignored every common courtesy, made small talk with the help instead of us, and on top of that she is not our problem. She belongs to Jareth and he wasn't able to keep her in check-" Lady Serkirk was cut off by Damasio.

"That doesn't sound like an apology." he placed a hand to his mask but before he could take it off, Serkirk yelled,

"I'm sorry! Please don't." Damasio stopped.

"Do you accept her apology?" he asked. It took May a moment before she realized he was talking to her.

"I honestly don't care anymore." As she spoke, Jareth came back to his senses.

"I think we better leave." Jareth said as he threw a crystal ball to the ground.

"Wait!" was the last thing May heard Damasio say before she was back at the castle.
