Thread: Return to the Labyrinth (Lila Lupin & vmpdevil101)

Cydney smiled as they traveled through the dream line. It was quite easy really, to travel between the realm of the Goblin Kingdom and the Dream Lands. After all, dreams and wishes were closely related and often went hand in hand. I wonder what he's like. She asked as they neared the kingdom. This new king, do you think he's kind? It doesn't really matter, My Lady. He's not king, and he never will be. Cessaly said wit a cold look. She'd never had a fondness for Jareth, and as far as she was concerned his heir was probably as selfish as he'd been. No good ruler would ever risk placing their kingdom at risk the way he had over a mere woman. It's funny, Jareth seemed to think that by merely choosing a new heir he could escape the hold of the wishes, but even now, if someone made a wish of the goblin King, it would be Jareth forced to answer, not this boy. She said with a harsh laugh. Andon seemed to smile at her words. Cessaly was not particularly well known for her kindness or forgiving nature. No, she was known for her deadly precision when fighting, and her skill at wielding the nightmares that made her who she was. But what if he would make a better king? Cydney asked, though Andon and Cessaly both gave a huffed laugh, as though the very notion were simply a joke. I'm serious. As the future queen of the dreamlands it is my duty to uphold any and all treaties I make. I understand that Jareth broke the treaty first, but I can at least get to know the boy willing to take over his rule. She said. Cessaly stopped, turning to stare at her with a hand on her hip and a raised eyebrow. WHAT!!!! It's not like I'm going to marry him. I don't even know him yet. She said as she put her hands up in the air in defense, though Cessaly continued to stare with her eyebrow raised incredulously. We admire your sense of duty, my lady, but you must understand that we've seen the type of treachery that Jareth dares to weave. We know where the curse originated from, tough we don't know from who. Andon said sternly. They were just outside the Goblin Kingdom now, they need only open the gate way between the dream line and kingdom before them. Someone from Jareth's kingdom cursed you, and we highly doubt that he would not be made aware of that kind of power being used in his own kingdom. Andon continued. We don't trust him, or anyone in his kingdom. They've betrayed us before, and they will most likely do so again. He added as he drew a knife from his belt. Cessaly prepared herself as she waited for Andon to open the gate. It's time you meet the heir to the traitor king. Andon added before sinking the knife into the scenery before him, opening the gateway between the dream line and the and the goblin kingdom. From where Toby and the others stood it would seem as though a black portal were opening before them. After it had fully opened a man stepped out, clad in black armor, followed shortly by a woman clad in armor of the same kind. The very ground beneath them seemed to blacken, and they let off the most fear inducing aura. They both had their hands on their swords, and once they felt that there was no danger from the group of creatures and the young man standing in front of them they turned, each reaching a hand back into the black abyss. Soon a beautiful young woman clad in an emerald dress emerged. As soon as her feet hit the ground the very color and life seemed to spring back into it, and the fear inducing aura seemed to disappear. The woman clad in black armor seemed more comfortable to keep her hand on her sword and her princess behind her. Introducing the Lady Cydney, princess of the Dream Lands and heir to it's throne. The man said as the young woman smiled curtsying before looking up to meet the chosen heir to the goblin kingdom. Her eyes widened as she looked at him. She knew him. He'd been the brother of one of her friends during her time in the aboveground. She never once thought that she'd see someone she knew from there again, let alone like this. She quickly regained her composure and smiled. She doubted that he remembered who she was anyways.
