Sarah pushed her plate forward as she took a deep breath, she had forgotten when she had eaten this much food in one day. Sure she had eaten up in the aboveground, however, it was never this much. She had made sure she had have enough to keep her from trembling to much. Now that she was back down in the underground she could relaxed a bit more. Leaning her head back towards the seat she closes her eyes. She could hear how the door opens up to the dining room, thinking that it was Prim returning once more Sarah didn't make a move.
"Who are you?" A cold voice asked her behind her.
Sarah sits up properly and she turns her head around. Her eyes lands on a man standing behind her, he had long black hair that had been pulled into a low pony tail and his red eyes were narrowed.
"Depends on who is asking the question." Sarah comments back, she slowly rose up from the chair she had been sitting on.
"What do you think you are doing here!" The man asks, unfazed that Sarah had spoken.
"This is my place! You are the one who suddenly shows up out of nowhere!" Sarah points out, her arms were now crossed.
The two of them were glaring at one another when Prim enters the dining room. She stops dead at the door opening before shaking her head a little.
"Lord Lamia." Prim calls out, the man turned his head to look at her.
"Ah, Lady Prim." He starts to say, only to be ignored.
Prim had started to walk towards them and her eyes were locked on Sarah. Sarah looked at her with an lift eyebrow.
"I'm sorry for this my lady, I didn't expect Lord Lamia to show up at this time." Prim explains too Sarah, before she turns too look at the man.
"What is..." Lamia started to say once more, only to be silenced by Prim who held up her hand.
"Lord Lamia, let me introduce you too Lady Sarah Williams. The new queen of Seir." Prim tells him.
The man looked at Prim out of surprise, he then looks over at Sarah. His eyes soon narrowed once more before something dawned on him.
"Sarah Williams." Lamia starts to says and Sarah let her head fall to table.
"I'm going to hear that a lot aren't I." She mumbled to herself before looking up at the man once more.
"Yes, I'm Sarah Williams the Champion of the Labyrinth. The grand daughter of the former Queen of Seir and the new queen." She then tells him, keeping her head held high.
Lamia looks at Sarah out of surprised before she turns her head towards Prim, looking at her in a try to see if all of this were a joke or not.
"Meet the banished princess daughter." Prim simply told him with a shrug of her shoulder.
"Not that I remember much about that retched old woman." Sarah told Lamia before he had time to point something out.
"She left me with my father when I was very young, I didn't know I had fea blood in my veins until the day after I had run the Labyrinth when Prim looked me up." Sarah then adds.
Lamia looks back at Sarah, taking her in properly this time. Keeping her chin up, Sarah keep a close watch at the man in front of her. She wasn't going to give him anything on her. The man's eyes soon softens and he bows.
"I'm sorry for my behaviour my queen. I'm Lamia, Lord of the vampires." He then introduced himself.
This time it was Sarah's eyes that grow in surprise, turning her head towards Prim she could see how her general nods her head.
"That would explain the late visit." Sarah then comments.
The comment made the vampire chuckle a bit and he shakes his head at this.
"So, why exactly am I here for? Because I have a strong feeling that meeting the new Queen is not the only reason." Lamia asks, his eyes traveling between Sarah and Prim.
"The day after tomorrow I will come face to face with Jareth for the first time in 10 years. This also includes meeting the rest of the court I'm to belong to and the high king." Sarah explains to him.
"So, you are trying to make friends with the people your grandmother trusted the most?" Lamia asks, already smiling big.
"Something in that line." Sarah answered him with a shrug of her shoulders.
Lamia start too laugh at this and he joins Sarah at the table.
"Well, you can be sure that me and my people will be standing behind you. Your grandmother meant a lot to us, she gave us the help when no one else wanted to." He told her.
"I know, I read my grandmothers diary." Sarah answered him, thinking back to earlier that day.
"You seem to be up to speed." Lamia points out, something that makes Sarah smile a little.
"I learned 10 years ago that nothing down here is ever what it seemed and it's always for the best to be ready for everything." She answered him, making Lamia laugh.
"Thróindur pointed out that I really were like my grandmother." Sarah points out with a shrug of her shoulder.
At the mention of one of the other leaders in the old court, Lamia looks at her with narrowed eyes once more. At his reaction, Sarah lifts one eyebrow before looking over at Prim for help of understanding the man sitting in front of her.
"How many of your grandmothers old friends have you already meet?" He then asks.
"We have meet with Lord Thróindur, Lady Ithil, lady Silbermond and lord Rameyn. We will meet with the last two tomorrow." Prim took over to explain and Lamia looks over at her.
"Brining in all of them I see." He points out and Prim nods her head.
"After all, Queen Sarah here already have a rooky history with Lord Jareth." Prim tells him.
Sarah looks over at Prim with narrowed eyes, her arms crossed. Prim on the other hand shrug her shoulders and smiled.
"For some reason I sort of want to be at that meeting now." Lamia points out, his arms crossed now as he leans back more in the chair.
"You can go in stead of me if you like." Sarah answered him quickly, taking away the smile Lamia had have.
"Not even if the whole Underground was on fire." Lamia tells her with one eyebrow rose up.
"There went that plan." Sarah answered with a yawning.
"I'll take that as my cue to leave. If you need me, you just need to call." Lamia tells her, standing up.
He bows down with a smile before he disappears in a cloud of smoke, making both Sarah and Prim cough.
"Typical vampires." Prim comments once she has stopped coughing.
"Well, its better then glitter everywhere." Sarah points out in a very dry voice.
Prim started to laugh once more and Sarah rose up from her chair and stretched. Ignoring Prims laughter she starts to head for her room once more, only to end up a bit lost. Looking around herself, she finds herself standing in front a small room. Putting her hand on the door, she could feel something powerful from within the room. Shaking her head, Sarah turns around and heads away once more. Pushing what she had felt to the back of her and thinking that it was all in her head because she was tired. Once she finally founder her room, Sarah more or less had the energy to change out of her dress and into something more loss before falling asleep on top of the bed.

The moon where shining bright over Seir that night, the land was in a blissful sleep unaware of the shadow that was moving through the courtyard of the castle. The shadow was moving fast towards the dark forest, only to come too a stop right in the front line of the forest. Ending up eye to eye the hooded person waiting.
"Any news?" The hooded person asks in a low voice, the navy blue eyes where keeping a close eye on the dark castle.
"Four out six lands has already joined her." The shadow reports, making the hooded person narrow his eyes.
"This is taking a turn for the worth. If she keeps this up we will have to act fast." The shadow points out before turning around.
"Keep me updated. I need to come up with what to do next, and to keep the others in line so they don't decide to act up on their own once more." The shadow then orders before turning around once more.
The shadow only bows as the hooded person starts to walk away from the spot, heading deeper into the forest once more. The moonlight didn't reach this far into the forest, making it hard for anyone to really see where they were heading. There was however some light coming from the depth, something was very much alive in there. Reaching the spot, the hooded person comes to a stop, it's eyes landing on the large fire that was playing in the middle of the camp.
As the hooded person glanced around himself, he could see that the dark feas that was supposed to be watching the fire had fallen asleep. Shaking his head, he walked up to the sleeping person and gave him a hard kick.
"Get up!" The hooded person hiss out once the dark fea wakes up.
The fea looks up at the hooded person out of fear and was quickly sitting up properly. The hooded person just shake his head as he continues to head for his own tent. There was a lot to do and very little time to do it. He had said that the return of the new Queen didn't change anything, this new development however was going to make thing just a bit harder than before.
