This story is awesome! I mourn the death of Jareth's hair though. He was so fabulous 
Thanks! We all miss the hair, I admit. NotGwendy is trying to explain to me a way for me to put it back in...so here's hoping.
Would you post all the immortal stats? I'm having trouble keeping it straight.
Ask and you shall receive, my dear...
Interlude - The Book Of Jareth - As Told by Legolas Thanduilion and Loki LaufeysonLO!, in the beginning, the King of Goblins made a foolish bet with a mortal, yea, a woman of flawless beauty and uncertain temper whose very presence filled his heart with song and did make the Monarch swoon with desire.Loki: It's a little flowery, bro...
Legolas: (shrugging) I'm an elf, dude, we have to do flowery, overblown, six words where one would do. Cultural stuff, y'know.
Loki: Needs more stirring epicness. Try this...
For the mighty Sarah Williams would never been won by words and promises alone. It would require deeds of an heroic nature to win this proud and majestic beauty, and thus, on bended knee, the humbled and despised King did vow that he would complete any task she set him to prove himself and his right to declare himself her suitor.Legolas: Not bad. I was there, so I'll tell this next part...
And LO!, having been recently dazzled by the daring and difficult exploits of the elf, Legolas, who recounted the tale with such skill that he did bring his listeners to tears, she set upon the King the nigh impossible task of completing the Immortal Dynasty Challenge. For LO!, the quest was so dangerous and deadly that it had taken the elf five attempts to overcome and win everlasting glory. And LO!, thus was the Goblin King Dynasty created...Loki: What's with the LO! all the time?
Legolas: Think of it as Elf Tourette Syndrome.
Loki: Gotcha...so then what happened?
So with the help of the Watcher known as Tia, Jareth the Goblin King was sent to Sunset Valley with a set of specific goals and restrictions upon his person. Should he fail, the consequences would be dire...
Loki: I'm telling the next part, you'll get all bogged down describing Agnes and we'll be here all day.
The King, realizing he would need an helpmeet to aid in his daunting task, set his will to convincing the most stubborn and powerful widow in all the world, Agnes of the Crumplebottom, to join him. She sat daily, in her dark tower, shrouded in black, mourning the death of her most beloved husband. She rebuffed the proud Goblin King who continued to press her into making an alliance that would give him mighty advantage in the years to come. Again and again she sent him away, her eyes flashing with the fire of a Valkyrie, determined to never disgrace the memory of her valiant husband, killed in battle on the high seas...Tia: (interjecting) I think he drowned in the pool at the Motel 8, actually...
Loki and Legolas: (glares of doom)
Tia (backing away) Fine, tell it your way...
Legolas: Thank you, I will...
Before all was lost, LO!, the King revealed himself as a mighty being of great power and wisdom...
Loki: (chuckle)
Legolas: (grins) You describe him them...
One of the fair folk who possessed the secrets of time and made great and binding promises to return the widow to a time before sorrow beset her life and make provision for the restoration of her great love to her. Thus, Agnes of the Crumplebottom weakened and traded her tower of solitude for the servitude of a lifetime of Dynasty slavery. She proved most able and courageous, refusing to bend completely to the Monarch's will.
The King had planned that his next heir would be his boon companion of the otherworld, Erik the Phantom. But such was the bravery and dedication of the widow that he was lulled into a sense of complacency and broke a geas placed upon him. In punishment, he was not allowed the knowledge of how to guarantee a male heir. He sought the wisdom of the elves in this matter, knowing them for valiant and glamorous creatures...Legolas: Thank you.
Loki: Not at all...would you like to continue?
Legolas: Certainly.
But the elves paid no heed to the pleas of the proud King, seeking to humble him for certain of his remarks. And LO!, the King in his desperation, took the advice of a dubious Oracle, scribbled on a crumpled, coffee-stained napkin. And his plans came to naught, giving him a female heir.Tia: Guys, just give his stats, will you?
Loki: That's your job.
Tia: Fine!

Legolas: Nope.
Tia: Go for it. Loki?
Thus with the arrival of Gytha, the Lady of Tir Nani Ogg, a comely and fulsome child, the second generation embarked on the quest. The King quickly grew to love this precocious child and though he tried to guide her steps to fulfill her destiny, her remarkable good humor and quick wits made her more than his equal. She chose her path boldly, ready to refuse the husband the king chose for her, until the comely youth, Arlo the Bunch won her heart with his flowery words and romantic kisses...Loki and Legolas: (shudder)
Legolas: (squaring his shoulders and taking a deep breath) I'll do it, Loki...
And from the passion of these two inseparable lovers came the third heir, Erik the Phantom. But Erik bore a grudge against the King, who had tricked him by promising to return him to a whole and delightful state. While the child was whole and hearty, the King had refrained from telling him he would bear a most uncomfortable resemblance to a goblin. Erik began to foment plans of his own for revenge up on the dread King.
Loki: Dread King, I like that.
Legolas: Thanks. Would you like to tell about the curse?
Loki: Okay.
The King, with his high handed behavior had incurred the wrath of not only the Fates, but of the warrior-hearted Sarah Williams as well. Many penalties were placed upon his house and the Fates took a hand directly, cursing him so that every time the King advanced in his quest, he would be thrown back in time to repeat the same actions again and again. Many remedies were sought, but in the end it was only the wisdom of the great Wizard Metro Man and his acolytes, Nutella, Ratchie and Blackrosea that allowed the curse to be lifted and the Dynasty proceed. Gytha had completed her part, more than once, and was finally allowed to take her place at the immortal table.

Now Erik the Phantom had appealed to the justice of the great and good Sarah Williams and LO! was given many privileges and boons. He enlisted the help of Arlo the Bunch and not trusting to the King to find him a wife of good standing to espouse, used magic to bring his love, Mag the Blind, across time and space and inhabit the body of his beloved toy. Erik and Mag delighted in playing tricks on the King, bringing him to the edge of despair many times and reminding him that he was not omnipotent.
Loki: My turn.
Brave Erik the Phantom suffered from the curse placed on the King and vowed to continue to plot against him. Vengeance raged in his heart and he turned to destroying appliances instead of wreaking havoc on the citizens of Sunset Valley. But the King persevered in his efforts to make amends to the man who had once been his best companion, whom he had shared many a mug of mead with. In singing over the old ballads, especially the saga known as Sweet Home Alabama, the rift was mended. Erik sired on Mag the Blind his twin sons, Legolas and Loki, who would change the family forever.
