Neverwas Page #7

---

of brightness, you and I.

And no matter what Ghastly does

to try and take it from us,

here is where be belong.

Listen to me.

Some things are worth

dying for, boy.

I've been here...

many times.

Why did you come here, boy?

I needed some hope.

(man's voice)

Gabriel! Gabriel!

(Zach) You told me you were

kept in a hole,

where your voice was banned,

where nothing made sense.

(man) Gabriel!

But like you said,

that was just a dream.

Gabriel!

Zachary... where are

you hiding them?

We're hiding.

(Williams) Gabriel!

(Zach) Gabriel, listen to me.

That wasn't real.

This is real. I'm real.

(man) Gabriel!

Do you understand?

You don't have to

be scared anymore.

You can stop hiding now.

Let me help you.

Hold it, hold it.

(Maggie) Please.

Gabriel!

I have nowhere to go.

I can't survive anywhere else,

Zachary - only here.

It's the only home...

I've ever known.

Don't let them take me

from home.

I won't.

Oh, Zach, boy.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

Billy?

Yes, sir.

Go in the court,

check on a stay of eviction

for Gabriel Finch.

What use has this world got

for a king without a kingdom?

It needs him.

I'm afraid.

You don't need to be

anymore. I'm here.

And we're gonna go out there,

you and me, into the light.

Like I did with my father.

Remember?

Me first, then you,

the way it's always been,

Gabriel.

The way it's always been.

(Zach) You can always

avoid a minion slaughter

by dousing the beast

with sugar water.

Gabriel, the bombs...

they were nothing

but sugar water.

Of course, boy.

Zach.

Be careful.

My name...

is Zachary Small.

I came through the Mossy Rock

to rescue the king

from his dungeon,

to help defend his castle.

To stop you.

All of you.

The time for you all

to leave is now.

And this land...

and this castle...

is the king's.

It has always been the king's.

Stand down, boys.

Stand down.

You see, Zachary?

Nothing to fear.

Nothing at all.

Will you come and visit me?

It can be lonely

from time to time.

Of course I'll come, Gabriel.

You're a good boy, Zachary.

As un-ordinary as they come.

Hi.

Hi.

I thought you were gonna go back this morning.

I am.

I just wanted to

drop something off.

Oh, yeah? I heard this

is a pretty good book.

It's not bad

for a trade fairy tale.

I thought this was the most

important thing in the world to you.

It was.

You can wait for me?

Of course. Forever.

Ohh. I'll see you real soon.

Fantastic job, everyone.

(Gabriel) And so it ends

as it began -

with the promise of freedom

and a prophecy now fulfilled.

I will never be sure

of what Zachary did

to drive the minions away

forever,

but in the end, there were

no more dark decrees.

And as I always knew he would,

he returned Neverwas

to the king.

But the spirit of Neverwas,

that was returned to the boy.

My kingdom is at peace.

Once again,

I live as I dreamed.
