Lilly smiled nodding a bit. "It is. It is when the mortal realm and immortal realm was merged as one, before time was thought of. But when Darkness had come, it separated during the battle. We did not know it at the time. The boarder was still forming so it was some time after that we noticed how hard it had been getting to go between." She looked to the images then let them pass as she went back to view the waves. In the waking world time was passing, though she wouldn't alert him to this. He needed the rest, to gather his strength to be there when he needed to be. In a way she felt this were cruel for him and Erin, knowing how much Erin wished him well or to see him, but knew it must be done. If she were to let him know of the time he would be struggling to be in the waking world, and thus not conserving or regaining his strength or magic. Something that would get them both killed.

Erin went about with repairs and running their kingdom. She was thankful for Twink and the others, even Oberon and Puck were helping. It had been about a week or two since her husband had been hurt, and with little word other than he was recovering she had begun to worry. She knew he had been bad, just had never seen or heard of him like this. She mused knowing how he felt now each time she had been hurt.

Lilly watched over him off and on allowing his mind to shut down in the way of 'sleep' now and again. After a time when he would finally question she would simply look to the waters before them. "We are in your mind still, we never left. I'm here to be a companion and make sure you rest and regain your strength for when you will truly need it." She looked back to him knowing that answer alone would brood more questions in his mind, being within it already she could feel and almost hear them. "Your mother is worried about you where you are physically. Erin is fine for now, your father and Puck is helping her, well best she lets them." She smiled slightly towards him. "Times will change shortly for you, and my power here on your mind will only last so long. Time moves slower here then in the waking world. And I am sorry that I must keep you until it is time."

Erin kept up best she could like things were not bothering her. She had questioned herself constantly since she had given Puck her journal for the children. As such she had written a few letters addressed to all three and had some of the goblin staff run about and hide them within the kingdom as she had asked. With what she had seen in her dreams of things to come from the children, it was all she could do to guide them should it all actually come to pass. She was thankful also for her father in law though felt odd still without her husband, though knew he needed to heal. It was about the third week and now she was beginning to feel the weight, much like she had with the twins. She walked the halls with Oberon now and then, if anything to keep moving and active, despite the goblins pleading for her to be in bed rest. That's when she felt it, the pain that ripped through her. she grabbed the wall and held her stomach with the other hand till the wave of it would pass and took a breath to steady herself. She waited a bit for another but would regain herself when it wouldn't come. "Just false pains. It happened often with the twins too." She knew he would worry though knew there was nothing to worry on at the moment.

Erin looked to him shaking her head despite how insistant he wanted to be. "I will be fine, this happened wiith the twins too." She didn't feel a need to tell him that meant it could be anyday now. She figured her full term wasn't for another week or so. She had to finish some things first. She would amuse him only slightly returning to her room. Her children in their room playing with Puck and Taris.

Lilly looked to him sighing in responce to his worries. "Jareth, I cannot say for definate that you will. It will be close and hard. You will need too find her to reach her for what's comming. That is all I am allowed to speak on it. You will have help but it will be hard. You will be ready when you need too be."

Una looked to Jack as he had returned from his little spying game. She didn't agree, she didn't even agree with being there, this wasn't their fight anymore. She was just a sprite, and Jack had never unlocked his own abilities as a guardian. She would look back to the rest of the room shrugging. "Not our fight anymore. Besides you know as well as I that its been far too quiet. And we know what happens when Darkness is quiet, very very bad things. The last couple being the death of one unicorn and then the near killing of the goblin King."

Lilly looked to him placing a hand gently on his shoulder. Her power was beginning to slip and feared the reason. "You won't be able to wake for a bit still, but, my power to help heal leaves with the last unicorn." She wanted to warn him knowing what was possibly coming. She could feel the light beginning to fade and knew they were close to their goals. Erin has told you of your newborn yes? He needs protection at all costs if the light is to survive even a fraction."

Lilly looked to him shaking her head. "There is still one unicorn at least for now. As I'm sure Erin may have tried to tell you, they have a backup. They never knew dark thoughts but with one already fallen, to which you knew, they had to make sure the light would remain." She looked back towards the waters before them.

Erin went about the castle as she usually did despite what Oberon wished of her. If he and the goblins got their way she'd never see anywhere but the bed. She was thankful Twink and Midas knew better. Today she was a free woman though having asked Oberon to let the twins see their father. It wasn't the best she knew, but wouldn't deny her children their father.

The twins had curled up overnight with their father as he slept still and soon had been taken back home. Erin knew they were upset and tried her best at damage control and explaining things. Over the week though she had begun having more false labor and was ready to curse the unborn, though cooled after time. She knew Oberon wasn't a fan.

he smiled watching from the shadows knowing none knew he were there. He had caught the twins looking now and then as if they couuld see him but knew theey couldn't, he noted the same of their mother as well. He merely waited for his father's signal knowing it was soon. This had to be timed corectly. Then he saw his chance and felt a shift in the darkness as his power grew. He watched erin collapse with the pain as the last unicorn was finally killed. He stepped from the shadows smiling and opening the portal behind him. "The last unicorn has fallen, you cannot stop us now."

Erin watched knowing well what had just happened. She could never forget the first time and cursed being here and not able to help prevent this. As she heard the familiar voice she knew what was coming. She called for the guards seeing The goblins try against the dark forces entering the castle. If it weren't for the twins or the baby within her she would have been to the front line helping. She looked beside her as Twink took hold of her arm and began rushing her as they made their way through the halls. Till she had to stop. She held the wall and her stomach and knew what had happened. "Oh crap, Ben hunny mommy's not ready.." She looked to Twink seeing Midas joining them worried. There was an attack on their home, her husband was still injured the last unicorn killed and now was the time Ben decided he wanted out? "Twink the twins? Please?" She watched him nod seeing Midas rush off down the hall. She called out at another contraction. This was not how she wanted this to happen.

He laughed walking after the one he wanted. With the rise in darkness everywhere the form of Toby seemed to rip away piece by piece each step revealing Darkness in his true form. It would be long seeing his father's assumption was correct. He motioned some of his stronger fighters and let them deal with her guards before he went to grab her. Being in obvious labor she was too weak to fight too much. "Now, my father has extended an invitation for you to join us." He pulled her roughly opening the portal and returned to their lands.
