The little girl giggled to herself, jumping down from her perch on top of the mantle above the fireplace. "Again, like I had stated to the Goblin King, I am not Anna. I prefer to take the form of what better comforts those I oversee. I had always wanted to meet you, Champion, but with the messes the latest escapee from Tara's Hold has been making, it has been rather difficult. Currently we have some time to speak but not much. We have only a fortnight to stop Cianan and bind him to Tara's Hold once again."
Sarah did a double take, "Not Anna, but...then wh..who are you?"
The Anna-lookalike turned to Jareth and shook her head at him, "I see you failed to mention me yet again, Goblin King. You never were good at paying attention to me, were you? First the Peach Dream, then the Escher Room. It seems you still haven't learned."
Jareth's thoughts swirled like a torrent in his mind. Some small part of him knew who she was, but still couldn't believe it.
"You're Labyrinth?"
The smile on the look-alike's face grew wider, showing pointed sharpened teeth. "Good boy! I knew you had it in you!"
Sarah looked back and forth between the both of them, not speaking, but her features showed her confusion.
"How can you...I mean you're a-the Labyrinth, but you're also here, human looking."
Labyrinth shook her head, "Oh dear, you weren't really listening a while ago were you? I can take any other form that I want to."
The tone that Labyrinth used made Sarah bristle in anger, but before she could say anything that could land her in trouble, Jareth cut in.
"Why are you helping us? Cianan has the amulet now, why not help him?"
Labyrinth walked past them and into the kitchen, where she laid a hand on the stove, igniting the front burners. With a wave, the cupboard above the stove flew open and the kettle popped out and landed in the sink. The water turned on and flowed into the open kettle. When it was filled, it flew back to the stove and landed gently on top of the flames.
First, sit down and have some tea. It is my own blend. It will calm your nerves and its not bad for cracked ribs as well."

"WE HAVE TO DO WHAT?" Sarah exclaimed in shock. She took another sip of her tea to calm her nerves, her ribs no longer causing her pain.
It is rather simple, actually. You must travel to Knockmaa Hill and petition King Finvarra, ruler of the Daoine Sidhe for assistance.
Jareth took another sip of his tea, then shook his head, "Much easier said than done. He is Daoine Sidhe, I am of the Unseelie court. The two have always been at odds with each other. He will not listen to my petitions."
The Anna look-alike smiled as she waved a hand and the tea service vanished. Sarah jumped and narrowed her eyes at Jareth, who grimaced in apology.
I know on good faith that he will not listen to you, Goblin King, but he will listen to your champion. You see, King Finvarra has quite the soft spot for beautiful women, especially if they are mortal women. He was quite the womanizer back in the grand days of the Tuatha De Danann.
Sarah stood up and began to pace back and forth angrily. "Just wait a damn minute here. You want me to flirt with the King of the Dead just so I can get him to help against Cianan? No, no. I am NOT doing that. I mean, he has a wife, right?"
Jareth nodded, "Yes, Queen Oona, although I am unable to tell you anything about her at all. She keeps to herself. She does not venture far from Knockmaa Hill and when she does, it is very rare. During the last Samhain Festival, she never left her guest rooms, not even for the Masked Ball."
At the mention of the Masked Ball, Sarah stopped and turned towards him, a brightness in her eyes. "Did you just say Masked Ball, as in Masquerade?"
He grinned up at her, "Yes, precious. There are many 'masquerades' as you call them, but none are more grand as the one held during the Samhain Festival."
I hate to interrupt, but we do need to discuss what our next plan of action is going to be after getting Finvarra's help.
Sarah took a deep breath and was about to speak when Jareth spoke first.
"I do not like the idea of Sarah being in Finvarra's presence. He is rather bold in his approach.
She laid a hand on his arm and shook her head, laughing. "Look who's talking, Mr. Peach Dream. Jareth, as much as I hate to admit it, there is no other way. We can only hope that he will listen to reason this time."
Jareth glared at her, "I have heard stories of Finvarra's ways. If he finds a mortal woman beautiful enough, he kidnaps them and steals them away to Knockmaa Hill where they are never seen or heard from again. I swear, if he tries this with you, Sarah, I will make him suffer."
Heat coiled in her abdomen at his words. Just a little bit possessive, are we, Goblin King?
Valeria interrupted her thoughts, "I think during the time they are trying to gain Finvarra's help, the scattered groups of the Goblin Army should be found and united."
Labyrinth nodded in assent. Yes, that should be done by someone trustworthy. Someone who can be sneaky.
Sarah smiled, "I know exactly the right person for the job, or should I say three?"
Jareth snorted indignantly, "I highly doubt Higgle, that fox, and the Rock-caller can handle something dangerous like this."
"It's Hoggle and we managed to defeat your goblin army just fine before, didn't we? Besides Hoggle knows the ins and outs of the Labyrinth. He can be pretty sneaky in his own right."
"I do not doubt your trust in them, but it will take every ounce of effort to complete this task in the short time given." He retorted.
"That is why I am going to be helping them." Valeria stated firmly.
Both of them looked in shock at her.
Jareth was the first to speak, "If you do this, you could cease to be even a spirit. Cianan's powers are ever growing, even faster now with the amulet and my powers."
His mother raised her chin defiantly, "I now have the oppurtunity to repay Cianan in kind for what he has done to me, to us. You will not stop me."
He nodded, "I understand, but you will do well to be careful. I do not know what Cianan has planned for the Labyrinth."
Sarah spoke, "I agree with Jareth. Cianan is pure evil. Be careful down there."
"I cannot guarantee my safety down there, but I will be ever watchful of my surroundings. Now where do I find your three friends?"
I know where they are but it will be rather difficult to retrieve them.
The three of them turned to face the Labyrinth, who was sitting on the counter beside the kitchen sink, waiting patiently for them to finish speaking.
Sarah, not really wanting to know, asked anyway. "Where are they?"
They are prisoners of Cianan. He has placed them in an Oubliette.
All color drained from Jareth's face and he struggled to keep his composure. "Tell me, are they in a Shadow Oubliette?"
Yes. they have been there for the last 6 hours.
Sarah watched as Valeria's head dropped and jareth cursed under his breath.
She had to know.
"Jareth, what's a Shadow Oubliette?"
He couldn't even look her in the eyes. "Sarah, it is a place of untold horror. Knowing Cianan, he would have put your friends through unspeakable pain before throwing them in, but it wouldn't stop there. You see, Sarah, a shadow oubliette is just a light term for a torture room. The torture wouldn't stop until they either break or they are dead. Cianan doesn't have a preference for the order."
"No, not my friends! NOO!" A sob caught in her throat and before she could collapse, Jareth wrapped his arm around her, supporting her.
I think we have discussed this as far as we can at the moment. Jareth, take her to her room. We will see ourselves out. Be careful.
The Goblin King nodded and turned Sarah toward the hallway, guiding her to the stairs.
Garbo!
The little fixer that had sworn himself to Sarah's side, popped up out of the shadows.
"Yes, missy Laby?"
The Labyrinth smiled down at him and leaned over to pat his head. Guard your king and his Champion but do not interrupt them. They have some very important things to discuss. Do I make myself clear, Garbo?
Garbo nodded fervently, "Yes, missy Laby."
With those words, the little goblin popped back out of view.
Valeria shook her head slowly, saddened by Sarah's cries. She motioned to the Labyrinth to step closer to her. "I am leaving for the Underground right now. I will not allow her friends to come to anymore harm at Cianan's hands."
You do know what will happen should you try to release them from the Shadow Oubliette, do you? That is extremely strong dark magic. It will destroy you.
"I know the risks, but I have seen my son as a man. I am content with the knowledge that by doing this, he will have an advantage against Cianan."
Labyrinth shook her head, Very well. I will accompany you to the gate, but only to the gate. If you free them, you do so at your own risk.
Valeria nodded, "I understand. Thank you."
Well, then. Lets go. We have much to do and such a short time to do it in. I will give them both the night to rest, but tomorrow it begins.
With a wave of her hand, the both of them shimmered and faded out of sight, leaving only glitter in their wake.
