Brayson reappeared in Execution Square with Jareth clutched in his grip.
As soon as his feet hit the ground he threw Jareth away from him.
Jareth landed hard on the ground, his face hitting the stones and scraping his skin.
He winced at the pain and felt blood run down his cheek.
He turned the best he could without being able to use his bound hands and managed to push himself up to his feet, facing Brayson.
"Have you lost what little mind you have left Brayson?" He gasped out. "Take me back now!"
Brayson advanced upon The Goblin King, snarling at him. He was obviously enraged and had lost all pretense of sanity.
"Do you know why I brought you here..Jareth?" Because I have decided I don't give a damn about what the council does anymore. I am going to end you myself. Then I am going to end your pretty little queen, but not before I chain her to a wall and use her body in every way in can be used. Then I will beat her, torture her and listen to her scream for you with the profound joy that you are not alive to save her."
He stalked closer to Jareth, eyes black. Jareth had no choice but to hear his foul words as he struggled to get loose of the shackles that held his arms.
"Maybe I will let my nephew have her to use her to bear his heir, then as she lies covered with the blood of childbirth, slit her throat. Yes! A child of The Goblin Queen that will legitimize my family's claim to The Goblin Kingdom.

Then I will raise that child to know and despise the legacy of you and your queen, and to do everything within it's power to make The Goblin Kingdom a kingdom to be feared!

We will rule this realm, and with The Labyrinth's power, we can reach through to the mortal world and bring your beloved humans here to enslave for our pleasures. How does that sound to you, Goblin king?"
Jareth saw pure unadulterated evil in the man's eyes.
"You think to kill me Brayson. Then do it. But I warn you now. Sarah is my true mate in every way. She will fight you, and she will win. I do believe now The Labyrinth foresaw your plans, and found the only woman who could take The Goblin Throne and keep it. You have no idea what you are dealing with."
Brayson charged him and he dodged the heavier man, but the cuffs he wore weakened him and threw him off balance and he fell to one knee.
Brayson grabbed him from behind and put him in a chokehold. He squeezed Jareth's throat slowly cutting off his air.
"Enjoy The Summerlands, Jareth. Your wife will join you in due time." The foul man said into Jareth's ear. A glint caught his eye and he saw in Brayson's hand an iron dagger.
With everything he had, he pushed through the magic weakening him and sent one last thought, one last tendril of energy to his beloved. Jareth gagged as his air was become cut off in Brayson's grip, his sight swam.
He thought he heard voices, coming closer.
I love you my Sarah, always. The Goblin Kingdom is yours now.
The dagger came down and he closed his eyes and waited for the end.

_
As soon as Brayson and Jareth had disappeared a frantic search ensued.
Sarah tried to find him with their bond, but he was silent. He was alive she could tell, but it was hard to get a read on which direction to go.
Lord Bain told her that the cuffs he wore weakened his magic and the hall muted magical communication.
Sarah followed her instincts, and took off outside. She could barely make out his energy but it felt stronger there away form the building. She followed the slightest little pull at full speed, praying they were going in the right direction.
Sir Derryn, Weyliss, even Hoggle, Sir Didymus and Ludo ran outside and starting running after Sarah. The council members were not far behind.
Derryn yelled behind her. "I know where were are heading! Execution Square! If he is planning on killing the king that's the place to do it!"
After a couple of minutes they were coming upon The Square, and could see Brayson and Jareth at the far side, Jareth got up, then fell.
Then Brayson had him a headlock.
Sarah did not slow down, even though she could hear every screaming behind her for her to stop, she did not, could not stop. She knew if she took even one second to take a breath Jareth would be lost to her.
"BRAYSON! DON'T!" She screamed as she came within a few yards.
Then she heard Jareth's voice in her head.
I love you my Sarah, always. The Goblin Kingdom is yours now.
"NO! STOP! JARETH!" Sarah cried out.
Sarah had her dagger in her hand. She had no idea how it got there or remembered drawing it, all she knew is she brought it up, then down, and drove it into Brayson's back. She felt the blade scraping bone, cutting through organs, piercing the mans heart, and kept driving it in until the hilt hit his skin.
Nothing happened, at first. Brayson was so shocked at the feeling of the dagger sliding into his body he just stood there, mouth hanging open as his vision dimmed and he lost his grip on The Goblin King. Then he pitched forward and landed facedown on the stones. Dead.
Jareth felt Brayson's grip slacken then release. He fell forward and rolled, then opened his eyes.
As he lay there, the larger man fell forward and just missed falling on him. There was a look of utter confusion on Brayson's face as he fell.
Jareth saw the dagger sticking out of the man's back. He slowly pushed himself up with his knees and turned to thank his savior. He expected to thank Derryn or one his guards for the deed.
His blue eyes met large, concerned green ones.
Sarah was still in shock at what she had done. She sank to her knees in front of Jareth.
Finally she spoke. "Are you alright?" She was trembling. She had killed someone, took a life. Even one that needed to be taken, how could she live with that? It shook her down to her core.
By that time everyone had made it to the square and was standing in a semi circle. Taking in the scene.
Lord Bain entered the circle and walked past prone body of Brayson. No one really knew if he was even still alive, or cared. Sarah's dagger was pure cold iron so he would not last more than few minutes more either way.
The councilman helped The Goblin King to his feet and unlocked the cuffs, setting him free.
The rush of magic to his veins made Jareth pitch forward. Sarah, who had stood when he had, was there to catch him.
As her hands touched him, and his touched her, they both felt the shudder of their bond as they came together. Sarah wrapped her arms around his waist and held on as tightly as she was able. The blood on his face rubbed off onto her face. She did not care.
Jareth lifted his head and took her face in his hands, and smirked. "My Sarah. I have missed you. My brave girl. I guess I owe you my life."
Sarah laughed, and touched his face in return. 'I'll put it on the list, you arrogant jackass."
He chuckled and hugged her to himself. Her soft warmth all he had dreamed of for weeks.
"I am sorry you had to take his life, Sarah. I never wanted such a thing for you. To extinguish life is a difficult choice to make, in any case."
She looked into his eyes. Damn. She should not love him. She did though. He looked at her in a way no one else ever did, ever would. She knew that. She needed to stop fighting. She leaned her head forward and laid her forehead against his. "I missed you too." She breathed. "So damn much."
He tilted her face up and kissed her. The warmth of him spreading from her lips and all over her body.
The stood that way for another minute. Until the heard a loud clearing of a throat.
"Your Majesties, I understand this is an emotional reunion, but we still have much to settle here." Lord Bain said in a disapproving tone.
Jareth took a deep breath and let it out, then turn Sarah to stand beside him.
"Lord Bain, as you can imagine, I am tired. This terrible chain of events has worn me down and I need to retreat to my Castle and rest. What absolutely needs to be settled now? The rest can wait."
"Well for one thing, what to do about this." Lord Bain said, toeing the body on the ground.
Just then there was shouting as Sir Kiernan and a couple of his men came running. He saw his uncle laying face down on the grown, Sarah's dagger still sticking out of his body.
"Uncle! No! Who did this! I want to bring anyone involved in his murder up on charges immediately!" The man yelled.
Sarah stepped forward. "I killed him. No one else."
Kiernan turned and gave her a nasty look, then glared and pointed. "You! Disgusting human! She deserves nothing less than immediate execution! You heard her, she confessed!""
Lady Corlin moved forward. "Sir Keirnan, that is not possible. The Goblin Queen had the right. We saw what happened. There is no need for charges. Lord Brayson schemed to the point he overplayed his hand. He paid with his life. It is done."
Kiernan pulled his sword and made a lunge towards Sarah, but found his sword stopped in midair by sudden presence of another.
Jareth had drawn Sarah's sword from her hip without her even knowing he had and quicker than anyone could blink had blocked the other man's attempted blow.
"Sir Kiernan. I would advise you to back away. Slowly and immediately." Jareth growled. "You realize I will be having you brought up on charges for conspiring with you uncle to take my crown."
"You don't scare me, Goblin King, in truth you disgust me. Bringing a creature such as that, and mating with it? Making it your queen? You have fouled the very definition of what it means to be one of our kind."
Kiernan spit towards Sarah, but it fell short and landed near her feet. Sir Derryn came to stand next to Sarah, just in case.
Jareth smirked at the man. "I could kill you for that, I am sure you know."
Kiernan raised his sword in fighting stance. and flicked the fingers of his other hand. "Well then.." he grinned. Jareth noticed he had the same reptilian smile as his uncle
Not taking his eyes off the other man, Jareth spoke to Sir Derryn.
"Sir Derryn, take the crystal Sarah created out of your pocket, and create a circular boundary spell with it. Unless, of course, Kiernan is afraid to take on The Goblin King without any chance of anyone else stepping in."
Kiernan snarled. "Do it."
Sir Derryn did as he was commanded, and there was a flash of blue light. A slight circle of blue encircled the two men.
Kiernan attacked, and Jareth blocked once more, then the fight was on.
Sarah was mesmerized at the grace and speed the two men fought. She realized if still had been human it would have been a blur.
Kiernan turned out to be a fairly proficient swordsman, which worried Sarah. Jareth was already tired. She looked over at Derryn who gave her a nod of reassurance. He knew his king, and his level of skill.
At first it was even but eventually Jareth was wearing the other man down. He was drawing heavily on his magic and his connection to The Labyrinth. That too had a price. His body would wear out faster.
Every blow Jareth blocked and dodged ripped through Sarah's soul. She prayed that she would not see Jareth struck down. There was no way she could help if the other man got the best of him.
Jareth roared and growled as he fought. He had taken all he could take, and now he would do what he had been longing to do all this time, give in to his instincts to tear to shreds those who would threaten his kingdom, his wife and himself.
Kiernan was beginning to tire. The Goblin King's blows were relentless and jarring. Every time he barely blocked the Goblin King's blows his whole body would rattle from the impact. Then he made a costly mistake.
As he went to lunge his tiring grip faltered just for a second, just enough for Jareth's next blow to knock the sword from his hand.
Jareth hit him with the hilt of his sword and knocked Keirnan to the ground. The he pulled him up by the hair and held the sword to his neck.
Kiernan was trying to breathe through the blood pouring out of his nose.
Jareth leaned in and spoke softly. "It seems, Lord Kiernan, I have a choice to make. So let me ask you..live, or die?"
Kiernan's mind was racing as he attempted to keep breathing.
"I want you to..." he spat blood on the ground. "I don't want.."
Jareth jerked him up hard. "SPEAK! LIVE OR DIE?" Jareth yelled at him.
Kiernan let his body relax. "I want to live." He gasped out.
Jareth let him going and tossed him to the ground, then kicked him slightly.
"I thought as much. So certain of your convictions when you have to fight a human woman or a man bound in chains, like your uncle. But you are a coward. Live with your cowardice until the council decides what to do with you. I care not. If you step one foot in my kingdom, I will kill you."
Jareth turned an started to walk away.
Kiernan lunged with his dagger to take one last blow. A blow like Sarah had taken to his uncle.
Jareth had already known what the man was going to do. He had given him the opening to condemn himself. So when Kiernan took his chance and went to attack the king, with a roar Jareth turned and swung his sword.
Sarah screamed and turned, hiding her head in Sir Derryn's chest.
"Lady Sarah, It had to be done. His Majesty could not let him live, or he would have been seen as weak. It would make you both a target." He whispered into her ear.
Jareth picked up Kiernan's head and lifted it for all to see, and spoke loud so all would hear.
"Know this. This is the fate of anyone who dares to attempt to bring harm to my kingdom or anyone within it, or try to take away what belongs to me by right. The Goblin Kingdom is mine, and mine it will stay."
He tossed Kiernan's head next to his body. As he walked through the circle boundary it disappeared.
The crowd was silent.
Jareth handed Derryn the sword, and turned Sarah to look at him.
Sarah saw the blood splatter on his clothes and skin, and it made her shiver.
"Sarah.." He murmured quietly. "I regret you had to see that. I had no choice. If I would have..." He said as he removed a glove to caress her face.
She grabbed him and pressed her face into his shoulder. "I know. I know you had to. Please. I want to go home."
He kissed her hair as she clung to him. "Soon, my love. A few things to attend to then we will go."
Lord Bain told some of his guards to remove Brayson and his nephews' bodies to the infirmary, where they would be prepared for funeral rites.
Hoggle approached his king and queen, looking up at Sarah. She bent down and took the dwarf in a big hug. No true friend had she ever had.
Much of the crowd of onlookers began to disperse, and council members led the way back to the council hall, where they would finish a few points of business so The Goblin King and his queen could go home.
Sir Derryn handed Jareth a cloth so he could wipe Kiernan's foul blood from his his face and neck, and ended up handing on to Sarah when he saw some of the blood had gotten on her as well.
They got back to the hall and found that Roxanna and Zerian were still there and heavily guarded, and Hazel was having a very in depth conversation with an elf. Sarah could help think how surreal everything had been the past few days.
Hazel saw the two come in and jumped up. "Jareth!" She said and ran to hug him. Usually such thing were looked down upon in any situation, much less a human, but Jareth did not care. He embraced the older woman. He had missed her dearly.
"You look like crap Your Majesty." She said. "Go home and get some rest. I'm not expected home until tomorrow so don't worry about taking me back today. Any of you." She said to the group.
Jareth looked at Roxanna, still guarded. She was nervous obviously, at what would happen next.
"Guards. There is no further need to hold her. Roxanna, come here."
Roxy slowly walked to stand in front of Jareth.
"As punishment for your betrayal you are hereby sentenced to serve my queen for a period of time not exceeding 10 underground years. Once you have done so, without complaint, you are free to join your family. Underground. I take it you do not object, council members?"
The group had moved back to the dias and after some discussion, agreed.
Roxy gaped at him, then she began to cry. "Thank you Jareth...My Lord. I will gladly serve The goblin Queen."
He gave her a small smile and gestured behind her."With that said, I do believe there is someone waiting to see you."
There standing a few feet away, was her daughter, Violet. Violet's husband and children were standing nearby.
The two women rushed into each other's arms crying as they embraced for the first time in a long while.
Sarah teared up at the sweet reunion.
Jareth nodded, satisfied. He turned back towards the front of the room. "Now, about Hazel. And all humans. Let me be the first underground monarch, besides my wife of course, to petition an end to the killing humans. A cause I have attempted to take up before and have been shot down. I realize there is still much debate and discussion on the matter, but hear this. ANY human entering The Goblin Kingdom, will not be killed for doing so. Anyone who tries to usurp my ruling in my own lands about it will deal with The Goblin Queen and myself. Hazel will be returned safely above ground to her family, and will suffer no consequences for being so brave in coming here to speak on behalf of her race." He turned to Sarah. "Shall we repair to The Goblin Kingdom?"
Sarah nodded. "In a minute. What about Zerian?"
Jareth took her shoulders and made sure to speak calmly. "Sarah, he tried to kill you. You do not know how they are, The Order. Do you know how many humans they have killed? There is no way I can let him live. If I do, I will seem weak to all of the underground. They expect any of their clans to either do their job or die trying. There is no compromise."
"What if there was?" Sarah leaned in and said so no one could hear.
He looked at her puzzled."What are you talking about?"
She smiled a little. "I have an idea, but I will wait until we get home. It must remain a secret." She whispered. Then she said loudly. so all could hear, "I agree Jareth, there is no other choice, he must be killed as an example of anyone who would try such a thing."
Jareth tilted his head and looked at her. She was up to something.
Sir Derryn walked up to his king and queen and bowed. "Everyone is ready to go Your Majesties. By your command."
Sarah hugged tightly to Jareth. "Let's go home." She smiled up at him.
Jareth nodded. He turned to the council and bowed. "We are done with this. You know where we are if any further discussion is necessary, Do us all a favor, and keep it unnecessary."
The group that had come from The Goblin Kingdom left, with their new queen and their returned king leading the way.
When they arrived back at The Goblin Castle there was a huge reaction from all who were waiting when Jareth appeared. Their king was safe.
They cheered and clapped. There were whistles, growls, hoots and all sort of odd noises Sarah had never heard before coming from more types of creatures than she could comprehend.
She let Jareth lean on her slightly as they climbed the stairs to the thrones. He was more exhausted than he would admit, even to her. She decided not to mention it. She thought he should immediately go rest, but he told her they needed to climb these stairs and sit side by side, to prove a point.
Jareth gestured for her to sit in her throne, she did. He bowed to her, kissing her hand, then sat in his throne next to her.
Sir Derryn stood slightly below and to Jareth's side waiting for orders.
The Goblin King spoke low to his assistant and Derryn leaned to hear what he was saying. He smiled and stood, facing the crowd,
"Attention all subjects of The Goblin Kingdom, your King has something he would like to say and commands silence." Derryn announced. Jareth had given him the ability to magnify his voice when needed. In a kingdom filled with noisy goblins, it was needed often.
The crowd died down and waited.
Jareth stood. Slowly, but he stood. "My people, I thank you for your welcome home. You all will be happy to know, the immediate danger has passed and for now we are safe."
He paused and offered his hand to Sarah who took it and stood next to him.
"As you all know, I quite recently took a wife, my beloved Lady Sarah. The Labyrinth's Champion. I want you all to know on this day, Her Majesty Queen Sarah, quite literally saved my life. I am eternally grateful as all of you should be."
The crowd cheered and Sarah blushed hard. She gave Jareth a look that told him he would pay for her embarrassment later. He gave her a cheeky grin.
Then he did something completely unexpected.
He got down on one knee, took her hand again and kissed it. Then he looked up at her with all of his emotions naked in his eyes so only she could see.
Gods how he loved her.
Her heart melted and tears threatened again to spill over.
Damn him, she thought. How was he supposed to fight it, if he kept looking at her like that? Crap. Why does she keep fighting it anyway? What was wrong with her? She had started accept her future here in this land but for some reason still had an issue accepting him as her beloved. She thought maybe it was because she wasn't yet completely sure she could trust him.
Sir Derryn watched, a smug smile on his face. He turned and announced. "Bow to your queen! All hail!"
At that command, all creatures did as their king, kneeling before their new queen.
Sarah was speechless. All these people, creatures, goblins, even Hoggle, Didymus and Ludo who did the best he could at kneeling.
"Ummm..thanks. I really don't know what to say. This is all.." She stopped looked back at Jareth who tried to give her encouragement.
"I guess, just..thanks. I only did what was right. You have all been good to me, and welcoming. I can only say I'll do my best. Just bear with me please, because I REALLY don't know what the hell I'm doing most of the time here."
The crowd cheered in support as they stood, Jareth included.
She noticed he was swaying a little.
She stepped forward and wrapped an arm around him and spoke softly. "Jareth you need to rest. Please."
His eyelids drooped just a bit. "Yes, I agree. Will you help me? I am afraid I can't make it on my own and would rather not pass out in front of my subjects."
She nodded and gestured for Sir Derryn to discreetly come to his other side. Sir Derryn turned and gave Weyliss a signal to follow them.
Between Sir Derryn and Sarah's power they were able to transport the 3 of them. As soon as they appeared in Jareth's chambers his legs gave out and they laid him on the bed.
Sarah sat next to him, stroking his face. "Jareth? Are you alright?" She was terribly worried about his sudden weakness.
Weyliss appeared and had them straighten him on his bed. By this time he was almost unconscious.
He carefully examined his king using magic and traditional means.
After he was done he spoke to Derryn and Sarah.
"He will be fine in a couple of days. He is just completely devoid of power and energy now. I can find nothing else wrong. It was the cuffs coupled with yesterday's episode. Putting the cuffs on him so soon afterward did not give him a chance to properly recover for that so what little he had recovered was thoroughly depleted today."
"I thought magic was infinite." Sarah said, surprised.
"It is, but the energy to wield it is not. As powerful as the king is he is still but one man and can be drained if enough of it is expended." Weyliss explained.
"Alright, what do I need to do?" She asked.
"There is nothing you can do, but make sure he stays in bed for at least a day or two then takes it slowly for few days after that. I have never seen him so lacking in power." Weyliss answered. "I will tell him this myself tomorrow, but he has a habit of not following even my advice." He concluded, smiling a little.
Would you like me to stay and assist?" Sir Derryn asked Sarah.
She shook her head. "No. Just go do whatever you need to do to keep this place running. "I'll take it from here. i've taken care of sick children before. Knowing him it won't be much different."
The two men smirked at each other, but said nothing.
"Go you two, I mean it." She commanded. They were obligated to do as she said so they left.
Sarah removed her armor and her dagger that Derryn had retrieved from Brayson's back. She practically threw it across the room to get it away from herself. It was tainted and she wanted nothing to do with that memory at the moment. She would deal with that later. She did not know where the sword was.
Sarah removed Jareth's boots and helped him sit up to get his waistcoat and tunic off. He mumbled something about bogging whomever was touching his person, which she ignored. Then got the blankets out from under him and cover him, tucking the blankets around him
She left his leggings on because she knew if she was going to get into bed with him. He might wake up and decide he would want to expend some more energy by seducing her and she figured that probably wasn't a good idea now, as tempting as it sounded.
Although she still didn't feel all that well. Her stomach still in knots. She had eaten early that morning and should ask for some food to be sent, but wasn't all that hungry. She did pour a glass of water from the pitcher that seemed to be enchanted on a nearby table. As much water as she took it stayed at the same level.
Taking a sip she was glad it was sweet fresh cool water no different than above. Come to think of it, it was probably better, no fluoride, no pollutants.
She wanted to bathe but decided to wait. She went and retrieved her nightshirt, the tunic she had taken from Jareth's chambers, from the rooms she had been using and changed.
She got in the bed and laid next to Jareth. Her husband. The idea of it still boggled her mind.
Not 2 months ago she was a write for a rock magazine doing a story on a rock star, and now she was a queen with a gorgeous supernatural man for a husband and in charge of a kingdom which she had no idea how to run.
She saw the sun was setting, so it was still early here, probably just after dinnertime. She didn't think she was going to be able to fall asleep with all adrenaline coursing through her body, but she laid her head on Jareth's chest and fell asleep quickly.
I had to give Jareth a bit of badassery. He insisted. I think he is still peeved I let Sarah clock him several chapters ago hehe.
Okay! On to the fun stuff! Woohoo! ::rubbing hands together lasciviously::: You know what's coming! (no pun intended, but it works)
Muah! Love to you all!
