"How," asked Elizabeth, shocked. "How is this possible," she added, looking at Iris.
"This is the first Queen of Goblin City, Elizabeth Marie Christensen. You are her reincarnation. You look exactly like her," Iris explained. "It makes sense, that you are her heir because of your family heritage," she added, matter of fact.
"Since you are here," Iris thought out loud.
"What is it," said Elizabeth to the sorceress.
"Tonight, we are having a ball for Jareth to find a bride. Apparently, the council told him the other day that he has five years. So, time is of the essence," she added.
"Meaning," Elizabeth asked directly.
"You are going to that ball and dress the part to capture his attention," Iris said, smiling.
"Excuse me, but he called me a child and told me to go home to mommy," she said, crossing her arms in the process.
Iris laughed at this point in time. "You see, he likes you. He has not been like that around anyone else. So, we need to get you dressed to impressed," she smiled at the young woman.
Iris led Elizabeth to the tower of the castle, in the back, where there was an old-fashioned armoire. She opened it up, revealing a beautiful deep purple off the shoulder dress. Elizabeth was stunned at how beautiful it was.
After Iris hung the dress on a hook, Elizabeth touched the dress. It felt like linen. Not the cheap kind, but light. It had a sweetheart top with ruffled sleeves, that was off the shoulder. Then around the waistline and above and below it, were silver beads. It was an absolutely gorgeous dress. It looked like it pulled away from the body, where if you twirl, it would flow away from you.
"It's beautiful," Elizabeth stated, crying.
"Let's see how it fits on you then," said Iris, as she undid the corset in the back of the dress.
""Really, a corset," she frowned.
"Do not worry my dear. You will love it," Iris replied to her friend.
After the dress was on, "Okay breathe in," Iris told Elizabeth.
As Elizabeth takes a deep breath, she uses her magic to tie the corset part of the dress.
"Okay you can breathe out now," Iris stated.
She took a breath out and felt a tightness, unlike before. "Is this why they call it a corset," Elizabeth asked honestly.
"I am afraid so," Iris replied.
