Sarah, in her bedroom, thought about the familiar boy. She remembered how they lived together. She remembered he loved her and she loved him.

The harder she thought about it the more clarity she obtained. Sarah was remembering who he was!

He was her little brother! And she needed to go see him. She missed him. She missed home!

She opened her door and ran back to the magic storage. The word finally escaped her lips ..."Toby!"

As Sarah burst into the magic room everyone turned their attention to her. She smiled at her brother.

Toby sighed a huge breathe of relief. Her presence gave him comfort and strength he had been seeking this whole journey. He had found her! And he knew they could get out of this mess, together.

"Sarah, my pet, my love...come sit at my feet. Meet my sister and her servant boy." Jareth commanded.

He had hoped that his progress with her had brought her to the point where she would obey him lovingly. Perhaps, had she not obtained this new clarity of her former life, she would have followed the king's instructions. However, you and I know that is not how this story played out.

Sarah remained where she was though she wanted to rush over and hug her brother. She was trying to assess the situation ,fore there was such a strange feeling in the room.


Toby felt a strong sense of confidence. Sarah was right there and his drive was to save her, whatever it took. He also felt support from his new friends that were wandering the castle to help with the escape. Toby felt strong and brave with the combination of these things. "This is what brave feels like!" Toby thought. He had been learning and practicing bravery the entire journey through the labyrinth! And then Toby had an idea: he reached in and pulled out the crystal he had been secretly carrying. He threw it at the goblin king, unsure what would happen. If it would be helpful or harmful to their situation.

Just before the crystal hit the floor at the foot of Jareth he saw what magic he faced. His expression turned to fear.
