Epilogue,

Jareth and Sarah stood at the alter in the grand hall of the High castle. She couldn't believe this was actually happening. Her life had done a complete 180 in only a few weeks. After what had happened with Alasdair, she thought this day would never come.

She peered up at Jareth as she thought. He looked at her from the corner of his eye. He smiled and gave her a wink, reminding her she needed to be at full attention. As the High Priests chanted in their ancient tongues, Sarah took a moment to recall the events of the day.

After their adventure on the lake, they had returned to the castle. Jareth was determined to re-familiarize her with his bed and anything else he could throw her on, and she didn't mind one bit.

They slept in late that morning, waiting until the last second to crawl out of each others arms. Saying Mage was ecstatic to find the two together would be an understatement. After they had explained everything to Mage, leaving out certain details, she had them both dressed in record time. Jareth in his white and gold ceremonial robes, and Sarah in a matching gown. She had long veil that stretched to the floor on all sides. She felt as though they had simply thrown a transparent sheet over her head.

When they arrived at the castle, she couldn't believe how many people there were.

"How did your father set all this up so fast? I didn't even think he knew the curse was broken, or that we were back together." She asked.

"We have our ways." He chuckled.

It wasn't long after that, that they found themselves in their current position. She hadn't realized the priests had finished their incantation. She was drawn back into the moment when Oetheron started to speak.

"Children, give me your hands." He said. In unison, the two outstretched their arms. The High King then wrapped a golden rope around them. "With this, I bind you. Your souls will be forever intertwined, and your hearts will beat as one." He announced.

Sarah saw the rope start to glow. It constricted around their hands, sinking into their skin. What remained almost made her gasp. Where the loops of the rope had been, there now lay beautiful swirling markings that matched up to Jareth's. She assumed the markings continued up their forearms under the fabric of their clothing.

Jareth saw her surprise, and quickly held her hand in his. Oetheron eyed the gesture but continued on. He raised the veil from Sarah's face, revealing her beauty to the crowd. He turned to Jareth.

"Gaze upon your wife, for the next time you see her face she will be your Queen." He said.

Jareth looked into Sarah's eyes with more love than she'd ever seen. Everyone was shocked when he went against all protocol and kissed her. It was light and sweet. He lingered as long as he could, before his father let out a grunt, signaling it was time to move on. He tore his lips from hers with a smile. He then took her hand and gave a great bow, backing away as he did so.

Sarah turned back to Oetheron, blushing slightly. He couldn't help but return a warm grin.

"On this day, the eve of the anniversary of my son's birth, I coronate a Queen." He smiled down at her. "The first mortal Queen! May her rule be long and fruitful!" He bellowed, his voice echoing through the hall.

He then turned and reached behind him, returning with a crown in his hands. He gently placed it atop her head. He then turned her to face the crowd. She looked to Jareth, a bit nervous. He was watching from the side with a warm and loving expression.

"I give to you, your new High Princess and Goblin Queen, Sarah!" The crowd started to cheer, as Jareth took his place beside her. "Together, may these two walk down the path of eternity hand in hand!" He shouted.

Jareth laid her hand over his, allowing all spectators to see the marks that bound them as they walked down the isle. Once they exited the hall, she turned to look at him.

"Now what?" She asked. He lowered his face to hers, wrapping an arm around her waist.

"Whatever we want." He purred, and the two vanished in a grand explosion of sparkling glitter.

A/N- Here comes part two! I wonder what's in store for our happy newlyweds ;D (Oh, and I know I posted like, three chapter all within a few hours of each other. Hope it doesn't throw anyone off, I was in the writing zone.)
