Labyrinth: The Queen and Prince of the Fairies (Titania and Camden)

Labyrinth: The Queen and Prince of the Fairies (Titania and Camden)

 

Hear my cry,

In my hungering search for you,

Taste my breath on the wind,

See the sky as it mirrors my colours,

Hints and whispers begin.

 

I am living to nourish you, cherish you,

I am pulsing the blood in your veins,

Feel the magic and power of surrender,

To life. Uisce Beatha

 

Every finger is touching and searching,

Until your secrets come out,

In the dance, as it endlessly circles,

I linger close to your mouth.

 

I am living to nourish you, cherish you,

I am pulsing the blood in your veins,

Feel the magic and power of surrender,

To life. Uisce Beatha

Once upon a time Vin and I had started a roleplay world inspired by Jim Henson's Labyrinth; in particular what happened AFTERWARDS. We've decided to create the characters that inhabited this world of the Underground and its King/Queendoms, and bring them to life. It all started with Jareth and Sarah's children and their epic love stories...and it has epically continued on and on through the generations.

What this world means to Vin and me...it is more than words can say. We put our souls into this world and what it represents. But it is our pleasure and excitement to be able to bring them to life.

 

 

Many, many lifetimes ago (long before Jareth and Sarah even existed), the Gods ruled over their own domains as they always had done. Among them was Titania: Goddess of Life and better known in the Underground as "Queen of the Fairies." She created the Labyrinth and brought life to the realm.

When the day came that The Raven rose up to destroy her Labyrinth and terrorize the inhabitants of her realm, Titania summoned the first Pure One (someone who is blessed and bestowed purifying powers upon by Titania) to stop him.

For many years Titania watched her beloved fey (the humanoid inhabitants of the Underground such as Jareth and his descendants) from afar but never got involved by interacting with them. It wasn't until many generations after the first Pure One and The Raven that Titania, having lived a lonely life thus far, finally had her unexpected chance at happiness.

It was Camden, a Raven prince and future High King of the Underground, who happened upon the fairy goddess one day. Camden's passion and love of the Labyrinth fueled his connection to the goddess who had created it.

After courting his beloved goddess in the ways of the fairies, it developed into a beautiful bond which saw Camden ascend to become a demi-God at her side. Together, Titania and Camden had many children; some who stayed in the Underground after their parents' departure back to the fairy realm which led to the mingling of fairy blood in the Houses.

 

(Special note: In our world, "Cloudsong" is Titania's song and was sung by the original Pure One ((Amalie)) who healed the Labyrinth after The Raven's ((Ciaran)) raze and has become the most iconic Pure One song to have existed.)

Special thank you to my baby for creating this scene and poses! It was meant as a challenge (really, ALL of our Labyrinth pictures are), and I think it came out quite lovely.
