Jareth sat watching two goblins tormenting each other ....the reason was oblivious to him ...in three years he had switched off from the everyday chaos that consumed the goblin city and beyond...his brother Orin and his wife Rossa had stepped in overseeing his duties...he spent his days wandering....his once ever present crystals remained untouched...the pain of not being able to see what he wanted had once agonized him...now we're nothing to him,the once ruthless and arrogant fae was a shell...his heart broken and no one could see a way of fixing it.

Orin was stubborn ...the double of Jareth but with fiery red streaks in his white hair..he  possessed the mischievous nature and fiery ways that he was trying hard to bring back in his brother...he tried constantly to get jareth to  pick his crystals back up...to get his drive back ..to try once more. On this particular day he yet again bought the black carved wooden box holding them to the king.."take the Crystal jareth..."he begged

"No point brother"  he didn't even glance at Orin or the box...his eyes still blankly watching the bickering goblins. Orin glanced at Rossa..she shrugged , her husband just wouldn't give up trying to draw jareth back ..always unsuccessfully ,something caught her eye..a crystal glowed..ever so slightly but it glowed,she stepped closer to Orin raising her eyebrows..he looked down and noticed.."jareth....it glows!" Orin picked it up trying to get him.to look but he just waved his arm..."look into it yourself Orin...I have  not the energy."he  rubbed his brow and got up to walk away just as Orin gazed into the purple haze...it clears ever so slightly and he saw the outline of a girl...he couldn't quite work it out his powers not as great as his brother's.."it's her....jareth I can see a girl.."he grabbed his arm as the king fae turned round..his face blank he walked closer and looked..the girl was sad..her long raven hair hung over her face..but he could see she was crying...he grabbed the Crystal and held it to his face...ever so faintly he could hear her...she was muffled but her heard her say his name.....he straightened  up...not realising he had held his breath he gasped as his eyes bore into the ball..."say it sarah..call for me...."he muttered ..."say it !" This time almost yelling.

The haze started to build up again..the image disappeared..as he yelled...a loud anguished call,"take the crystals jareth...keep trying! Speak to her in her dreams ...just try " came orins smooth voice...jareth nodded and stalked back to.his chambers....something thawing in his frozen heart...he had the slightest hope that somewhere sarah may just feel even a little bit of the never-ending darkness he had been in for three long years...it was time to get her back...
