Merlin took one last look at Yen-Sid before he and the teens winked out of existence. Yen-Sid was alone now. He got up and looked out the window. A figure in a black cloak with electric blue fringes appeared to be looking up at him. The figure summoned his weapon and burst into the main door. "So it begins." He said as turned and went into the room adjacent to the one he was in. Inside were three fairies. One dressed in blue, another in green and the last in pink, who was bossing the other two around. Yelling the pink fairy was ordering the others to gather their things and to be ready to go. She flew over to Yen-Sid hurriedly. "It's starting isn't it!? I hate that this day had to come..." Yen-Sid stopped her mid sentence. "But we all knew it had to. The prophecy is clear. Two will become none and the memories shall be gone. He who forsake the mantle shall fall for the good of them all." The pink fairy frowned. "Yes but we haven't deciphered the rest! There could be a way to save you!" She silenced again as the door in the other room burst of its hinges and slammed into the desk. Yen-Sid turned slammed the door behind him and drew his wand. His hat began to glow feriously and then his study was a battle ground. Jets of light shot from his wand and the figure didn't even blink as it held up it's hand dissolving the light into nothingness. 

"You old fool! Your parlor tricks are no match for a Reaper!" He withdrew his hood and shown his face. Scared down the right side with one white eye and the other blazing red. His hair was shock white and streaks of black and red ran through it. "Now where are the children? Can't have more keybearers running around making a muck of all we worked for. Yen-Sid just scowled back. He wasn't in a talking mood. He also knew he couldn't win this fight so he took off his hat turned and threw it at the door that he had slammed shut with the fairies inside. If this were any normal hat it would have hit the door and fell to the ground with a soft thud, but this was the hat of the most powerful wizard so it flew right through the door. Suddenly a spell was cast over the door a barrier was now in place. "Oh I see there in there aren't they? Trying to protect them with a stupid hat and a little barrier made of what!? LIGHT!? Don't make me laugh!" The Reaper jumped at Yen-Sid just as he was turning back around and was struck by the scythe. Falling to the ground Yen-Sid started to fade into nothingness and his heart left his being; the Reaper then slashed his scythe at the heart and it was gone. But not gone gone. More like trapped with in the scythe itself. The Reaper laughed and simply touched the barrier with the tip of the scythe blade dissolving it in an instant. Bursting through the door the Reaper was ready to take everyone out but all he saw was a little pink fairy climbing into the wizards hat and suddenly it disappeared. Cursing and sending off a blaze of black and white fire yelled. "Damn you fucking wizard!"


Merlin and the kids had appeared in a small room with a boy in bed. Merlin grabbed the boys shirt and the owl Archimedes flew over to his shoulder and yelled "It's about time you old coot!" Merlin glared at the bird as Yen-Sid's hat popped in and out of it came the fairies. Merlin hung his head as the pink fairy nodded at him. Then he looked back at the group. "Alright kids lets get a move on!" He held the star tight and off they went into the darkness of inter-space hoping that Traverse Town would hear their hearts and be there for them.
