Days pass as any other would; slowly and tenuously. You ponder this goblin king from time to time with no real luck as to any information about him.
Then one day, as you dose off in the middle of History class, an idea pops in your head. Of course! Why had you not thought of that yet? You could just call your great aunt Sarah. With that thought in mind focus, well as much as could be expected to when listening to a 30 minute lecture on modern day government vs the past.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~La Time Skip~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you got home you ran straight to your room with a giddy smile. You couldn't wait to call her.
The phone rang a few times before she answered it, "Hello?"
" Hello, Auntie Sarah, how are you?"
" ( Y\N)! My, my it's good to hear your voice. I can't complain. How is my favorite niece?"
" I'm as well as can be expected of someone living in this house, I suppose. I actually have a few questions I was hoping you could answer. "
"Let's hear them then."
" OK, so grandfather was telling us the story about the labyrinth and how you saved him when you realized that what you did was wrong...."
" Uh huh, so what do you want to know? "
" About the Goblin King, please. Was he handsome? "
" Yes, very much so. He was tall,with wild blonde hair, and eyes you couldn't help but fall into. He was a charmer and a magician, he could make you feel like you were in a dream. And his voice... " She let out a sigh, "his voice was simply enchanting, upon hearing it you couldn't turn away. But, alas, looks aren't everything, fore he was cruel man with a black heart and lacked any form of sympathy."
"Uh huh, and does he have a name?" You ask as you take notes over what she is saying.
"His name is Jereth. Let's hope you will never have to use it. Anything else you would like to know?"
"One more thing, does the age of the child matter?"
"What a peculiar questions, but I shall answer it anyway. To be completely honest, I have no idea."
"Thanks, auntie, you have been most helpful. I love you, bye."
"I love you too, bye"
With that the call ended leaving you to read over your notes and make the final decision.... Which of your siblings had to go.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
