Abram smiled turning the plates though heard another voice. "I thought Blix would have killed you. No matter, the girl isn't shielding you." He went to charge though was surprised suddenly by the light. It was strange as he stood there blocking it's path with his own body. He looked to his skin seeing it flake off like burning ash and was curious. "The sunlight, has never done this to me before?" He looked to the other before him realizing it was the energy of this place and smiled. "So then, this is how it will end. Can't say, I'm not surprised.." His voice trailed as his body began burning faster with the more light that filtered in till he was nothing but ash and the light would go through.
He whimpered seeing the battle but there was little he could do. He saw the light entering the room and knew his master would perish soon. He snarled picking up a small dagger and would saunter his way to the fallen woman and the unicorn beside her. If his master were to fail, he would at least stop these two. He hissed throwing a spell to bind the unicorn once more, then hovered over the girl. "Not dead yet. Shame, so much trouble for a mortal. I shall help you pass though." She whimpered smiling as he charged the blade magically. It would be perfect he thought as it charged, he knew it would bind her soul from traveling on. He smiled as the spell completed and watched the shallow breathing before moving to plunge the blade towards her heart.

Jareth watched as the Sunlight finally broke through, just as his desperation gave in, and almost let Darkness go. "Sunlight! Thank the gods!" He watched as Darkness was caught in the sun, and trapped He then went to go get Erin, but saw a dark figure cowering over her, filling a dagger with dark magic! "Oh n you don't! Not after all this! I won't let you take her from me!" Jareth got to her just in time, stopping the blade from penetrating her chest, and he turned the blade around, and thrust it into the creature's own chest. "Not so nice now, is it?"
Jack watched as the figure began to disintegrate. He saw the flesh begin to peel away, and figured that this being was made from the same dark magic that created Darkness. "Good-ridden. One less being of evil to plague this world." He stayed long enough to make sure that he was actually gone before leaving to try and find Jareth and Erin, and of course Una.

Twink watched as the sun came up, then looked to the whole into the great tree. He would run fast seeing others in chaos as they made theiir way back to the chamber in time to see Jack enter, and his king protecting Erin as the other creature screamed. He moved seeing the alicorn and handed it to Jack before kicking the other lightly before turning to see his king, and Erin. "Majesty can heal her, right? Or, at least enough till her own body can heal on its own?" He worried seeing the blood and was affraid to loose his friend as well.
Una watched after entering the chamber and seeing the goblin hand Jack the alicorn. She released the unicorn and stood by Jack. "Jack, wwe need to get the alicorn back. And you should warn him if she survives about a future problem you faced, well, when there is an easier chance. Though mortals are frail thinks."

Jack nodded. "I will. But let's do this later. We need to get out of here before this place starts to fall!" He watched as Darkness laid on the ground, burning in his own filth. "You pathetic creature." Jack pushed Darkness, making him fall, and completely fall apart, and his ashes began to fly away.
Jareth looked to Erin, raising her head a moment. "Erin....." He picked her up, holding her hand to the wound where she was stuck, and then took her over to the Unicorn. "Please. Help her...." He begged the Unicorn, and threw Erin over the back of the pure creature. He cut the chains holding the beast, and then took off with the mare, Erin barely hanging on to her life.

Twink watched his king sadly as he brought Erin to the unicorn. He went following without a word as the group left and soon was back with the stallion. He watched Jack and Una and saw Erin being let down by the mare. He looked to the snow where she was put seeing the form of Toby as the snow began melting. It was almost too much as he stood quiet crying. He would cry harder though as Erin let out a weak cough.
Una went along letting Jack put the alicorn back. She turned looking to the others and noticed what they may not have. "Her wound was healed. She's still bad mind you, but not life threatenning unless her wounds are not tended. The unicorn simply gave her a nudge to use the magic given to heal herself."

Jareth looked to Jack as he put the alicorn back to the stallion's forehead, and it appeared to adhere itself back on. He looked to Una as she explained what the mare had done, and saw that Erin was still breathing, if only barely. "Erin.... I'm so sorry. All this happened, and you almost die. Please. Come back to me." He laid his palm on the wound just below her chest, and he leaned in, and kissed her. He poured from himself the energy and power that was given to him by the ancient bloodline that ran through his veins. When he pulled back slowly, he waited, listening for any signs of better breathing, or life, for that matter.

As Jareth used his magic she would move a bit feeling her body trying to heal faster then normal. When he pulled back she felt warm though still pale and weak as she coughed harder and moved to turn on her side from an involuntary reaction to breath. She coughed more before her breathing became more steady and began looking around feeling weak still. She laid back down feeling dizzy and saw Jareth. She smiled weakly towards him though was quiet. She didn't think she could speak at the moment if she wanted to. She turned her head soon seeing her brother's form and sighed a bit moving a hand to hold Jareth's.
Una watched the goblin king a moment then the girl as she seemed to spring awkwardly to life. "She's not a graceful thing is she? Mortals break so easily, and can't seem to handle immortals." She tilted her head a bit sighing before looking to Jack. She did save the unicorns though, but then they in turn helped keep her alive a little longer. Guess the debts are paid." She changed to her pin-light form and moved by Jack's ear. "You should warn him, he can't have children with her if he expects her to live."
Twink remained silent as things went on around the group. He knew to be respectful at this moment. He was happy seeing Erin moving, though could tell she still had a bit to go. He smiled in thought though knowing he would need to speak with his king at some point about where to take that relationship but would look to Jack first. "Sir Jack, how are we to get back to the Labyrinth now?"

Jareth was about to speak when Twink talked to Jack, when suddenly a loud crack was heard, and Slack, of all people, appeared out of no where! "Good lord! You go off gallivanting, Jareth, and I can't find you anywhere!!! Next time, leave a note or something! The entire Labyrinth is in chaos from your disappearance! And not to mention the kidnap... of..." He looked down. "Erin? Then.... You're okay?" He looked around, seeing one person he never saw before, and two Unicorns. He also saw the body of the now 'former' king, Toby, lying in a pool of dried blood. "It seems, that you have quite a story ahead, don't you, Jareth? I'm sorry I could not help."
Jareth shook his head, then looked down to Erin, seeing her breathing easier, and was happier. "Don't worry, Slack. Everything is okay now. Let's just get home. Jack?" He looked as he nodded. "Thank you. For everything."
Jack nodded to him, but stopped him, just before he prepared to leave. "Jack, there is something you and Erin need to know. It's about your relationship." He tried to find the right words, but just winged it. "You see, there was one great problem when Lily and I were together. It turns out, that for immortal/mortal relationships, having children is near impossible. I... I just wanted you two to be aware of this possibility."

Twink watched as Slack appeared and smiled as he went to Erin. He helped her to her feet though was clear she was still weak. He smiled still even as Jack had pulled Jareth aside and then turned back tot he others. "Sir Slack, so much to say of what has happened. But can we get Lady Erin home now? She's still not so good despite our King's excellent healing."
Erin listened to those around her feeling like she were in a dream or daze. She saw her brother's form again and closed her eyes. There seemed to be nothing left, not that there was much to start with, but all that there seemed to be was Jareth and his kingdom. She remembered vaguely about her mortal world nearly torn apart, a place she hadn't fit in well to begin with, and a family lost that she never really felt connected. She felt confused not sure where to go or if they had really all died and she were just dreaming still before passing.
Twink looked up seeing the lost look of his friend and held a hand. "It will be okay Lady Erin, you will see. The king will show you happiness again." He noticed little change in her and sighed heavily. He hoped she was still just really tired and it wouldn't be something more. "Let's go home, well assuming we can. We can go home now, right?"

Jareth looked to Twink, holding Erin as she continue to heal. She appeared lucid, but was floating in and out of consciousness. "Yes, Twink. I'm sure we can return now. Slack? Do me a favor and take Toby's body? We can't leave him here." He looked as Slack nodded, and took Toby's body, returning first. Then, he turned to face Jack, and the Unicorns. "I hope that, now that Darkness is defeated, you will be able to keep the Unicorns safe. I know how important they are to keeping the Light safe. And I understand about what you said, however, I know that Erin is not a mere mortal. She is more than that, and no matter what, I will stay by her side."
Jack nodded to Jareth, as do the Unicorns. "Then may you continue to do so, Goblin King. Farewll, but don't forget us, okay? We'll continue to watch over you for a time, but I believe you will have a most happy, and peaceful time in your kingdom."

Twink listened to his king and nodded and would wait for Slack to leave with Toby. "Majesty, I'll get Erin home and rested. We'll wait for you as always my King." He smiled before turning and summoning the gift he was given and soon was back within the castle. He then would help Erin to her room before letting her rest. Bandages and such could wait for now. He then made his way to find Slack before finding him. "Sir Slack, do you think Lady Erin and the King will be okay now? You know with the war done and all?"
Erin crawled into the bed laying silent as Twink left. When it was just the silence of the room she curled up within herself despite how sore she felt. She wasn't sure she could process everything now having a moment to herself. She shivered feeling cold.

Slack looked to the small goblin as he knelt before Erin's cold body. "Don't worry, Twink. I can feel the life pouring into her. She'll be fine. It's just her mind trying to find it's way through the dark. The mind has disconnected itself to save both her mind and body. She merely needs time. However much she needs, is another story. I'll do what I can for now, and prepare Master Toby's body for a memorial. It's the lease he deserves. As for Erin, do Jareth a favor, and keep her company, yeah?" Slack left the room, and let Twink tend to Erin.
Jareth transported back, after receiving a small token from Jack. He knew what was to be done, and knew what this meant. He just hoped he was in time. "Twink. Twink!" He watched as Twink came rushing to his side, being summoned. He was led to where Erin was sleeping soundly, and smiled. "She still breathes... that's good." Jareth gripped his hand, holding what was in it firmly.

Twink nodded towards Slack as he spoke then left. He sighed opening the room to see she had fallen asleep again and for a moment was thankful. When he heard his king call he nearly jumped and rushed to his side. "Majesty?" He nodded a bit again and lead him back to the room Erin had been given before. "I believe she's sleeping now. I know she has to be hurt, the fight wasn't a good one from some of the cuts I saw on her. I just wasn't sure if I should tend to her or let her have some time to herself. She seemed a bit out of it as mortals say." He would listen to his king then notice one had seemed to be gripped tightly and wondered. "Majesty, are you all right? The fight may not have been easy on you either."
Erin turned hearing Jareth's voice and roused herself enough to sit up. She turned to the door seeing the light of the hallway showing Twink and Jareth. She looked around before moving from the bed feeling sore from the fight. She knew she'd have to get patched up rib wise and the other wound she didn't want to think about. She moved to him wrapping her arms around Jareth and stayed there a moment before kissing him, then resting her head to his chest though wouldn't say anything.

Jareth nodded to Twink as he gave his assessment of Erin. Thanks, Twink. But I think I'll take it from here." He approached Erin as she turned to him, and embraced him. They kissed, and held each other for a long time. "Erin... I love you." He helped her to steady herself. "I have a favor to ask. More like a request. I know we haven't known each other long, but I have never felt like this before. I have lived many lifetimes, and have never known anyone as wonderful, courageous, and beautiful as you." He gripped his hand more, then brought it up to her. He got on one knee, and opened his hand. Erin Williams? Will you do me the honor, and become my wife, and my queen?" He looked into her dazed eyes, wondering what her response would be as he showed her the gold ring with the silver covered, obsidian like jewel inlaid.

He nodded remaining quiet as the King finished the way to Erin as she had started coming over. He could tell by her walk she wasn't feeling so well. He smiled spying from the doorway as his King proposed and couldn't wait for her reaction. He hoped she would agree knowing their King was different around her almost nice to them.
Erin watched Twink leave the room though noted him still by the doorway. She was glad at least one friend had come out alive. She looked back to Jareth holding him as he spoke unsure what he could possibly ask. "Jareth, I.." She stopped though as he lowered and it took herself a moment to re-steady herself then realized what he was asking after seeing the ring. She looked to him confused taking a step back. She had known him at least a year, maybe more now, she wasn't sure just how long this war had been. She felt weak wanting to speak but couldn't bring out the words. She wanted to marry him, she did love him, and she realized how much he had of her as well. Her mind ran almost too fast as she felt dizzy and soon was on the floor sitting before him. She held her head a moment and simply laughed. "We have horrible timing you know." When she felt she could she moved forward kissing him. "I can't imagine a life without you. I don't think I'm ready to be a queen, but for now, I think I could handle being your wife. Are you sure you want me though? I'm just a simple mortal after all."
