Merlin thought he could have handled all of the others at the same time as trying to carry out Leo. Sadly he was wrong. As the light around him, Leo, and Archimedes dissipated Merlin saw that the others were gone. He knew that they had all made it cause he had felt them as they had entered Traverse town, but as the star shard began to become unstable for the last bit of the trip one by one the others popped out of the light as if they had been let go by a merry go round that was spinning way to fast. Merlin's heart sank as he felt bad for not trying harder. The fairies flew out of Yen-Sid's hat and sighed as well as they realized that he wasn't coming back, at least not for a while. Merlin looked at the three of them. "You three begin setting up the house. Make it as big as it needs to be for everyone, add rooms as you see they are needed, and finally keep watch over Leo. I must go retrieve one last person for the days ahead. I have no doubt that the kids will find their way here some how. After all Cid should be here by now and he will lead them straight here....blundering oaf and his technology." With that Merlin grasped the star shard again and zoomed off into interspace towards the world of Hollow Garden. The world had been called Radiant Garden in it's state of light and Hollow Bastion in it's state of darkness, but right now it was in between states. A world of light and darkness and a key position for both sides. Merlin landed on the outskirts of the castle avoiding the town all together which had been e-vaced days ago to Traverse Town. The castle was again twisted and ready for villains to occupy it's walls. Who knows maybe Maleficent was back in town but Merlin sure hoped not. Either way he had to get the keybearer out safely.
