I don't remember everything after I came through the portal. Only the intention to destroy Gunmar. I also don't exactly remember destroying him. But I have the knowledge I did so. I don't remember how the amulet came through the portal when it was on the bridge. But it all happened.

It's been 2 years, 2 long years, but somehow everything happened so fast.

Now, I'm searching for Enrique. He's a toddler now, and I can't help but think of not Enrique back home, and how he's connected to the one I'm searching for. I will find him, and return him to our original realm, even if I can't go with him.

I'm stopped by my thoughts by a cave entrance. I realize, this is what I've been searching for. As I walk in, I can't help but notice all the babies and children, even some adults, in coma-like states. I want to help them all, but I can't. In these 2 years I've learned I can't save everyone.

Back to my mission, I search for Enrique. I know he will look different than the changeling I'm familiar with, as he will be older, but that doesn't stop me from noticing the blonde hair and freckles of the little boy. I rush over and pull him out of his pod-like crib. I've found him.

I rush back to the bridge, which is a surprisingly short journey, and place the amulet in.

But nothing happens. My face changes to one of horror as I realize, I don't have enough power. As I look down at the toddler in my arms I accept this. If I can't get him to his home, I'll make him a new one.
