Chapter Nine

Journey to the Goblin kingdom

Princess Keela was making sure Sarah knew her disguise spell of by heart and all that a lady is excepted to know. Once everything was ready they all boarded the carriage with 2 of the guard riding on either side , of the guards driving and the other sitting on the roof facing backwards so he could make sure no one snuck up on them.

Jareth set of to prepare special rooms for Sarah and is Sister in the same wing as his since it was already restricted to most of the goblins and creatures of the labyrinth. He made sure Sarah had to chambers enjoining his own and set up protection spells in both areas.

((Chambers means it isn't just a bedroom, but a living area with a bedroom and bathroom enjoining it.))

His sister would have the chamber across the hall and Toggle's would be next to Hoggle's. They would have protection spells upon them including Hoggle's room.

Princess Keela and the others had set off at dawn in their carriage making there way to Jareth's goblin kingdom after spending the night in her own since they didn't wish to risk travelling in the dark . They been travelling for nearly 6 hrs only stopping to have lunch and rest the horses before setting off again.

3 hours away from the goblin kingdom a large group of rogue bandits and trolls surprised the group and was able to take down 3 of their guards, and forced the guard driver , Captain Custos, Toggle, the princess and Lady Owlett from the carriage but the bandits and troll didn't know who the carriage belonged , deuce underestimating them and wasn't expecting that the 2 Ladies (Owlett and the princess ) knew magic and so they bound the Ladies's hands in front of them (bad mistake)

When the rogues turn there backs on the Sarah and Keela to confront the last 2 guards, it is Sarah who notices the opening using her fireball spell to start a fight amongst the bandits and the trolls, by setting fire to on of the back of one bandit's pants and shouting "he did it" pointing to the troll with who was holding a torch , Princess Keela seeing what Sarah is up to follows suit but she does it to one of the trolls pants who as bandit with a torch behind him and she point to that bandit and shouts we did.

The fight soon spreads out between the trolls and the bandits coursing them to be to distracted to notice Keela and Sarah set the guard, the captain and Toggle free. While Toggle , Keela and Sarah climb up to front of the Carriage and Captain Custos and his guard help the injured guards inside then Toggle takes the rains and speeds away, unfortunately some of the troll who turn out to be from a group Ciaran had sent out pursue them.

Toggle looks back over his shoulder and notices the trolls and shouts we're being followed which makes the princess and Sarah look back "Shit" Sarah says "we'll never out run them"

Princess Keela sits and thinks for a minute and then says "we have only one option"

"Yeah stand and fight" Toggle Said but when he saw Keel shake her head he said "why not just blast them".

"We Can't Toggle I couldn't do it without Owlett and that amount of magic would alert Ciaran to our presence and since we're still 3 hours away so he'd either send more trolls or come himself its to risky" Replied Keela who Looked over to Sarah and 1st saw Sarah was thinking the same thing.

While Keela and Toggle was talking Sarah had conjured an Orb and whispered "Jareth" Jareth at hearing the sound of Sarah voice conjured is own orb and looked into " We in trouble Jareth me and Keela are going to have to use the straight shot transport spell teleport us , the horses and carriages be ready we're aiming for the front entrance of the palace" after receiving a nod from Jareth Sarah ended the Call.

Jareth teleported himself to the front of the castle and shouted out order for the goblins to clear the way and make room, He knew that that spell especially when cast while on a carriage racing at speed was going to be risky landing and that amount of magic needed would leave them drained especially his Sarah so he had to be ready.

While Jareth was preparing for them landing Sarah and Keela warning the others to hold it's going to be a rough landing and they told Toggle that as soon the portal appeared he was to drive straight threw it without hesitation as they was going to be closing it behind them.

Princess Keela cast an orb and with Sarah's help charged it with the spell and power it would need as soon as they saw a stench of straight pass ahead of them they through the orb ahead of them as it crashed to the ground and smashed a portal appeared and Toggle drove the right through at speed ((I hope Jareth is ready for them)) with it closing behind them to prevent the trolls from following them..

Just as the last Goblin had cleared away the portal opened and 1st the horses and then the Carriage went flying through it bouncing as it hit the ground before the horse scribed to a halt it was Sarah who was closing the portal from behind channelling her magic into as, Keela was making sure the opening went where it need too.

Jareth at seeing this move to Sarah's side of the carriage as soon as it Stopped moving and the portal closed, Sarah looked over to Jareth before collapsing and falling off the carriage right into Jareth's waiting arms. He adduced Sarah in his arms so he'd be able to carry her and look up to his sister who although she was a little wobbly herself managed to climb down along with Toggle to the ground "I'm ok Brother" Keela said to her brother who then looked down at Sarah with concern in his eyes, seeing this Keela Said " she'll be ok my brother she is still young to magic and as only been training for 3 years, the amount of magical energy that spell took along with the fireball one she cast earlier to save us as taking its toll on the poor girl, she just need to rest take her to her room and have some of your men tend to my injured guards please"

Jareth nodded and turned to Hoggle who had rush out after hear the racket the carriage had made was sharing up at Sarah, "Hoggle have my sisters men seen to and then escort, her your brother and her captain to their rooms"

"But wana of Owlett" Hoggle asked Jareth but didn't get an answer Jareth just teleported himself and her away " you beder look afterie hers yous rat"

"He will Hogbrain now help me with my men please" Princess Keela asked

"It's Hoggle" he muttered then he turned and gave the Goblins there orders to help her men before he lead Keela, the captain and his brother to the quarters.

Jareth gently placed Sarah down in her bed and took of off her cape with a hood and her boots she was wearing, then looked her over after decasting the spell Sarah put upon herself to hide her identity he noticed she was covered in cuts and bruises remember that his sister was also hurt made him very angry but he couldn't tare himself away from Sarah, he wanted to be there when she woke up.

After making sure that the horses and carriage had been taking care of and making sure his men was receiving the best medical care they could get, Captain Custos went to visit the princess and make sure she was ok as well as receive his new orders. Knocking at the his princess's door and waiting for her to tell him to after enter before he stepped in and closed the door behind he turned back to the princess and said "Milady the men are being taking care of well , the carriage as been hidden away and the horses placed in the stable, as you know Jareth is look after the Owlett and Toggle is hanging out with his brother"

"Very good Custos and please there's no need to be so formal it's just us and we been friends for years please sit down and relax" So Custos sat down on the couch next to her just as they had as kids and relaxed "how are you Custos have you had you own injuries seen too" after receiving a nod she continued " I'm glad well all we can do now is relax and wait till Sarah wakes up" noticing the worried look on Custos's face at her using Sarah's real name she added " don't look so worried Custos Hoggle informed me that my brother cast protection spells on all our chambers and with the fact this is Jareth private wing of his castle we are perfectly safe and free to talk" to which Custos nodded.

Hoggle and Toggle was hanging out catching up as they hadn't seen each other for 3 years. Hoggle asked what had Sarah been up to and Toggle told him that princess Keela had been training Sarah both royal politics and Magic as well as singing fae songs and dancing but he told Hoggle he couldn't tell Jareth that Sarah had learnt fae songs and dancing. Then Toggle remembered what had happened the 1st time Sarah learnt to cast fire balls " you should of seen it bro" he remarked " her aim was totally off she had the servants running for cover" He Laughed remember one of the servant had dived head 1st into the fountain "it's a good thing I had buckets of water with me she nearly set fire to the palace" Hoggle just started laughing wishing he'd been there..

Jareth had not left Sarah's side all night and not long before dawn he had falling asleep with head resting near Sarah's and her hand held in his an hour or so later Sarah had woken up Smelling the sent of magic old spices next to her slowly opening her eyes she looked over and noticed Jareth was asleep with his head resting on her pillow, carefully sitting up so not to startle him she watch sleep for about 10 minutes before she could brush his hair away from his face so she could get a better look and then started to gently stoked his cheek with her thumb .

Jareth who had woken up when he felt Sarah touch his face was laying there with his eyes closed pretending to still be asleep as he was enjoying the feel of her loving touch and didn't wish her to stop when suddenly he felt lips on his cheek where Sarah had been touching and then felt her move to near his hear where he heard her whisper " you can stop pretending to be asleep now my love I know your awake" then Sarah leaned back to allow him room to get up her pillow.

"Aye my love I was just enjoying your touch to much to move" Said Jareth as Sat up in the chair to which Sarah replied by reaching placing her hand back upon his cheek and caress it with her thumb smiling up at him. Jareth smiled back at Sarah leaned into her content at the loving feel of it.
