Hey all. Next chapter is the last! But don't worry; I'll be back ;-) The song is "Don't Dream it's Over" by Crowded House. I'm going to miss writing this sotry!

~There is freedom within, there is freedom without

Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup

There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost

But you'll never see the end of the road

While you're traveling with me~

Jareth had a drink before going back to his room to go to bed. He couldn't believe it. Adam was gone, and never to come back. He went to his room, barely being able to stay awake as he walked. When he got into his room, it was dark and the only thing that could be heard was the breathing of his family. That was another thing that registered in his mind. He now had a family. He checked on his newborn twins before finally laying down next to Sarah. He put his arms around her and felt her snuggle up closer to him. He almost lost her. He put his face into her hair and started to cry.

Down in the throne room, Seymour was having a quiet drink by himself. The recent events of that day troubling his mind. More Phantoms had been killed in the war than Guado, even without the help of the Goddess Isabella had summoned. But something was still bothering him. He heard footsteps enter the room. He looked up to find Lunus. The Druid pulled up a chair across from the King and sat down.

"How do you fair this night my King?"

"Well enough Lunus. And call me Seymour."

"Something is troubling you."

"Well, I mean I just keep thinking I'll wake up tomorrow and Adam will be back and the Phantoms Regions will darken Bevelle again. That my people will live in fear again."

"It's not coming back Seymour. Trust me. Jareth and Sarah killed Adam. He's gone."

Seymour sighed. More footsteps entered the throne room. It was Yuna, in her nightgown.

"I uh, I just wanted to say that I was going to bed." She walked over to Seymour.

"And I also wanted to say that I was proud of you for what you did for Jareth today. You really are a truly good person." She kissed his cheek and left the baffled King.

Lunus gave the King a happy look.

"Looks like she finally came around."

~Hey now, hey now

Don't dream it's over

Hey now, hey now

When the world comes in

They come, they come

To build a wall between us

We know they won't win ~

The next day, the company held a Sending for Isabella. A Sending is a ceremony performed by a summoner, by sending a lost soul to find its way home so to speak. It's performed with lots of twirls and bows. Queen Yuna performed the ceremony. She performed it over a pool in the garden where Isabella's body had been laid. Sarah and Amberle started sobbing halfway through the ceremony and Jareth could swear the guys had begun to cry too. Jareth cried his tears the night before so he wouldn't today. He couldn't in front pf everyone. But when he saw Seymour cry, he broke down. He gathered Sarah in his arms and sobbed with her. Yuna performed gracefully and elegantly on top of the water, finishing with one last twirl.

~Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof

My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof

In the paper today tales of war and of waste

But you turn right over to the T.V. page~

"Oh are you sure you all have to leave so soon!?" Yuna exclaimed as the company prepared to depart for the Labyrinth the next day.

"I'm sorry Yuna, but I need my own castle and my own bed!" Sarah replied giving the Queen a hug.

Everyone thanked the King and Queen of Bevelle for everything they had done for them.

"You're a good man." Jareth said, shaking Seymour's hand.

"Nothing like you." Seymour replied, giving Jareth a wink.

Jareth smiled, and the company made their way out of Bevelle. The conversation was light and airy as everyone made their way out of the Guado City. Sarah carried Shea, and Jareth carried Lili. Looking back, Amberle thought of Isabella, and smiled. When a thought came to her mind.

"Jareth, why did Jason support Adam? Why did he betray you?" She asked.

"Adam must have promised something to him. Something he couldn't refuse." Jareth looked at Mech'elle.

She looked at him as if he were crazy. Jason had confided in Jareth before they left for their vacation on the Estate how he felt for Mech'elle. He knew something was suspicious, but Jareth should have known better. Mech'elle looked at her feet and continued to walk. Jareth didn't blame Mech'elle for what happened, but felt like she was a big part of it. The whole time he was working against them, leading the company into a trap because he wanted Mech'elle. By nightfall they would reach Sachiel Lake, and that is where the company would part ways. Amberle and Anthony would ride west to their homelands of the Messian Regions. Sirus would go back to his town of Raine. Jareth had been with these people for months, he wouldn't be used to going about his normal life now. He loved it of course, but he would miss the company.

~Hey now, hey now

Don't dream it's over

Hey now, hey now

When the world comes in

They come, they come

To build a wall between us

We know they won't win~

Nightfall came and went, and the company spent their last evening together. It was full of laughter and ease. Morning came, and it was time for everyone to go their separate ways.

"Oh Sarah, I'm going to miss you!" Amberle gave Sarah a big hug.

"Same here Amberle." Sarah returned the hug.

Sirus and Anthony bowed to her and kissed her hand.

"It has been an honor my Queen." Anthony said.

She bowed and started to cry. These people had put their lives on the line for her and they had to leave. Hugs and handshakes were given all around, and the two parties went their ways.

Jareth, Sarah, Mech'elle, and Amara made it back to the Labyrinth in two days. As the group climbed up the step leading into the castle, Sarah couldn't help but sigh of relief.

"At least the castle is still in one piece."

"We aren't sure of that yet Sarah." Amara said.

Sarah smiled and pushed open the doors. The castle was in perfect condition. There were goblins in the corridors and when they saw the Royal Family, they came at attention.

"They have never done that before." Jareth whispered in amazement. The girls looked at each other in bewilderment. They expected the goblins to look at them and go back to being goblins. But they were all standing straight and at attention. They were still in shock when they heard a familiar voice call out,

"All righ'! All righ'! Get back to work! Your majesty! What a nice surprise!"

Sarah smiled.

"Hoggle!"

She gave Lili to Mech'elle, ran to the dwarf and gave him a big hug. Mech'elle and Amara looked at each other, confused.

"Who is this?" Amara asked.

"This is Hegwart. He's a friend of Sarah's." Jareth said.

"Hoggle! Pleased to meet ya ma lady." Hoggle shook Amara's hand.

Mech'elle bowed to Hoggle, still holding Lili.

"So I see that the lil' babes have been born! We need to celebrate! Howa bout some Peach wine! We need the whole kingdom to celebrate the birth of.what are their names?" Hoggle asked.

"Shea Donovan, and Lili Jade." Jareth replied.

"Well then let's celebrate!" Hoggle walked out of the room talking about a celebration and peach wine.

"We're not home for 5 bloody minutes and already we have a celebration underway!"

"Are you complaining? You like to drink Jareth." Mech'elle said sweetly, handing Lili to Sarah.

Jareth slapped his face. "We're home alright", he thought.

~Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum

And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart

Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof

Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief~

The celebration was to be held the next day. Sir Didymous and Ludo came to visit the twins in the morning. And Dr. Burnside was most overjoyed at the sight of them and Sarah. Jareth and Sarah retold him everything that had happened with Jason and Adam.

"You were right, Jason was no good. I knew those vibes meant something." Sarah said, changing Shea's diaper.

Dr. Burnside nodded, and Jareth stayed silent.

He knew why his brother did what he did. But Jareth had never said anything. Except for that small hint that only Mech'elle had caught a few days ago. She fed Lili her bottle in silence, gazing down at his daughter. Her hair was platinum blond and she had brown eyes. Her eyelids were lightly colored. Dr. Burnside left just as she finished her bottle. Lili fell asleep instantly. Shea was already down for his nap. He put Lili down in the crib and motioned for Sarah to come over to the crib.

"We have the most perfect children." He whispered.

"I know." She whispered back.

He kissed Sarah on the forehead and looked out the window. He was finally home.

~Hey now, hey now

To build a wall between us

Don't ever let them win~
