Another Goblin King Sketch, I'm working on a coloured version in photoshop, but I already like the sketch better. The title refers to a line in chapter 9 of my fan-fiction 'The Deal' set three years on from the movie, which you can read [link]

Here's an extract of Jareth's long overdue conversation with Sarah:

'' 'About ten years ago I was exploring the above in my other form and found myself watching a child in the park. She was weeping, curled up on a bench with a dog which was larger than she was. You wept like your heart was breaking Sarah.'

'Ten years ago,' Sarah murmured. 'That's when mom left...'

'I watched as your Father found you and took you home. I watched the broken hearted little girl grow and retreat into a vivid fantasy world. I allowed your fantasies and imaginings to shape my reality, so that I could share in them. To ease my own loneliness, as I had done with other mortals before. My Kingdom became a Labyrinth. The creatures within changed to match your toys and picture books. My powers were limited to match your expectations.'

'I didn't realise how far I had gone with our bonding until it was too late. By the time you were fifteen summers old I had created a link between your fantasy and my reality which I couldn't easily break. I didn't want to break it.' Jareth gazed into the fire and the firelight danced over the planes of his face, bringing it into harsh relief.

Silence descended, broken only by the settling of the log fire and the sound of her blood pounding in her ears. Sarah hardly dared to breathe in case she broke the spell which seemed to have gripped the King.

'I had fallen in love with the woman you would so soon become...' ''

I own nothing,

Jareth belongs to Jim Henson and David Bowie among others
