Hathion sighed as he sank into a nearby chair, rubbing his temples methodically as he closed his eyes. It was far too late for anything to be done; it had all happened so fast. Within moments Lord Propar was lost, and their beloved Dawn was unconscious, her circumstances unbeknownst to them all. Everything seemed to be going from bad to worse, and Hathion was clearly taking it the hardest of the entire room. After all, this was his Kingdom now, and already he has had two attempted murders, a death, and a Fae Court in a complete uproar.
He was losing control of the Kingdom quickly, and he was becoming more and more burdened by the weight of being King. As a temporary solution to a problem, his reign had already cost lives, and he couldn't bare it if Dawn were lost to them as well. After all, it would have happened under his rule, his guidance, his presence... and he could do nothing but stand there and watch as he tried to battle the Lord with common sense and reason, to which he miserably lost.
Unfortunately for Dawn, Lord Propar's anger hurt her quite considerably. Not only had she been strangled unconscious, but she was hit full blast by Lord Propar's emanating dark magic. To make matters worse, Dawn was a human. A simple human. No fae blood coursing through her veins. Humans were very susceptible to magic, especially that of the dark nature. Having been hit at such a close range with such an angry blast, it would be luck if Dawn came out of it unscathed, and this Hathion knew above all else.
"The Lady Dawn... What are we going to do when she wakes up and is not the same...." Hathion whispered.
"But Dawnie is a strong one.." said Aliye softly.
"She can't possibly fall prey to the magic, can she Father?" asked Twidlerie as he took Aliye's hand in his and looked over at King Oberon.
"She will be alright, won't she Mother? We can fix her if something should happen, can't we?" Aliye asked as she looked over at Queen Titania.
"I fear we should not get our hopes up, your majesties," Hathion said with a sigh before rubbing his eyes and looking over at Jareth, "I've seen this before, when a Fae visited the human world for a.. bit of fun on an Autumn night. And.. it did not end well for the human.."
Meanwhile, Dawn was having a battle within her own mind. A force was trying to take over and suppress Dawn's soul, and it was unclear who would succeed in the battle as her face twisted with pain and discomfort.
