Cute Knight Deluxe Competition Entry - King of Thieves

King of Thieves

Ever since he was little, Jareth had wanted to be a thief. Not just any thief, mind, but the King of Thieves. All the books he had read portrayed the position as a romantic and heroic thing. But, as Jareth would soon find out, that was not the case.

On his fifteenth birthday, Jareth ran away from the family home and entered the slums. Finding the local gang of thieves, he assisted them in their escapades and made friends with them. At the end of the day, they would go to the Inn, make merry and sleep comfortably. That is, until the sinkhole appeared. Jareth and the gang were unfortunate enough to be in the slums when it opened up, and then when the barrier was erected. They were far too sinful to get back into the town. The thieves panicked, screaming and crying. Jareth was the only one who kept calm.
“Shut up, you babies! We can survive here. We just do what we’ve been doing in the past, except this time it’ll be a little more dangerous. Or are you all too cowardly to stay?â€

Yeah, when I read there was gonna be a Jareth ending in the Deluxe version I was hoping it was gonna be a pairing with the main character. Alas, twas not to be.

It took me ages to figure out what the new ending was, and then I realized I'd already found it anyway...

Really good fic, y'know. Though I'm confused what you mean by 'you already found it'..

lol Well, a bit of a late answer, but I meant the Pink Flamingo ending... if that's what it's called.
