《Matters of the Heart》Chapter 14
Advertisement
Sarah looked across at Jareth. He was sitting against the base of a tree, his chin resting in his hand, his eyes fixed on a particular patch of grass. The tent nearest to him cast a long shadow over him from the dying light of the sun. Terra was out gathering firewood. Since that day when they had discovered her secret, she had been uncharacteristically quiet and distant, always volunteering to gather the wood for their campfire at night and often lagging behind on their long treks during the day. Jareth had also been a lot more quiet and thoughtful. Sarah could tell he was upset and she had done her best to comfort him but she wasn't sure if she was really making any difference. They were now well into their journey to the sacred pool, with only about a third of the distance remaining to go. Sarah wished it would be over.
"It's a pity you had to get dragged into this," Jareth said apologetically, almost startling Sarah.
Sarah shook her head, "It's alright. Terra's safety is what's important."
Jareth returned to staring at his patch of grass and Sarah started twiddling her thumbs. She thought desperately for something that might lighten the mood. Then it hit her.
"Jareth?" she said, causing him to look up, "Would you...would you sing for me? To pass the time?"
A slow smile spread over the Goblin King's face and he obliged immediately, starting out softly before building in volume.
There's such a sad love deep in your eyes
A kind of pale jewel open and closed within your eyes
I'll place the sky within your eyes
He stood, not once faltering in his song, and offered Sarah his hand. She hesitated before standing and taking it.
There's such a fooled heart beating so fast

In search of new dreams
A love that will last within your heart
I'll place the moon within your heart
Sarah began to get a strong feeling of déjà vu as she and Jareth waltzed.
As the pain sweeps through,
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill is gone
Wasn't too much fun at all
But I'll be there for you as the world falls down
Sarah gazed into Jareth's mismatched eyes, feeling mesmerized.
Falling
The two stopped dancing, but Sarah remained in Jareth's arms.
Falling down
Jareth bent his head down until their noses were brushing. Sarah made no movement.
Falling in love
Then their lips met, and Sarah felt a sudden thrill of euphoria. She closed her eyes and leaned into the kiss, but not before catching a slight movement among the trees out of the corner of her eye.

What happens when the most powerful man in the world loses his soulmate to a heart attack? What happens when an innocent woman is dragged into a world of magic, and superheroes? Who is the true hero of the story? Note: This is the first book I ever wrote seriously. (I even had a cover made before I decided against publishing it) I'd like to think my writing style has improved with practice, and the multiple other books I've worked on. It felt wrong to leave a nearly completed book gathering dust in my google docs, but I don't think it's good enough to be officially published. As a result, I'm putting it here instead where it at least won't be totally wasted. Eventually, I'll put in the last 10 hours or so to finish it for you guys. Hope you like it :)

Just when he thought death had finally claimed him, he once again awoke to his starting point with no trace of wounds that killed him and perfectly fine health?Inspired by Shin Shirogane no Soleil -ReAnswer-
