So here is my 40th story here on the site and I decided that it would be a Labyrinth story. Mostly because I seem to have an enact for writing in this fandom.

So like always the characters and themes found within do not belong to me. They belong to the wonderful late Jim Henson. Unless they are my own characters.

So begins the story of Unknowing Queen.


Prologue

It has been the law since the beginning. The High Queen must solve the Labyrinth be it for a being or trinket. She must prove herself to be brave, strong, and caring. No one who has failed the test may wear the crown or sit upon the throne.

He looked at the wording in the ancient text, pushing a wisp of pale blonde hair out of his face. Only now did he understand why he had remained. He was to find his queen, but had not known of the law. True the High Queen had never been a mortal before, but it didn't say in the law she had to be one of the Fair Folk.

Taking a deep breath, he glanced out the window at the Labyrinth with his mismatched blue eyes. How would the entire Underground feel when they learned that the new High Queen was a fifth teen year old mortal girl, no young woman.

His advisers were not going to be happy, but it was the law. So what to do now? She was too young to truly be queen even in her world, but he would find a way to watch over her so that she could grow up into the woman he knew she would be. She needed time to grow up away from the Court.

Sighing, He conjured a crystal sphere. Inside he watched as she celebrated with some of the inhabitants of the Labyrinth. The Underground would have to wait for its High Queen for at least a few more mortal years.

"Until we meet again, Sarah."


So there you go for now. Now I can't be sure when chapter 1 will be up, but I'll begin working on it as soon as this prologue is up.

So review if you please.

Oh, a little fact I didn't or should I say realize. The man who created Elmo, Kevin Clash, was a puppeteer in Labyrinth. He did one of the Fire Gang. I didn't realize that. So think of that. He did the one who catches his eyes. How odd is that?

Edited and new AN: 5/5/14

I've gone back and edited every chapter in this massive story up to Chapter 37, at this time. Hopefully I've caught everything. I did my best to catch any issues, but if you see something please send a PM telling me. No one is perfect, but I'm doing my best.
