I dont want to live with Dad.

Is it okay if I stay here with you?

My old friend Thimbletack.

Book safe, Lucy. Book safe.

And if my father were here,

hed say, Job well done.

Aunt Lucinda?

I think you should come see this.

Am I dreaming?

No, my child. Youre not.

Child?

Do you know how old I am?

Yes, I do.

Im so sorry.

I was so captivated by all

the magical creatures I found

that I lost sight of the one I already had.

But I see now,

and I may never be able

to forgive myself.

You came back as you promised,

so I forgive you.

My dear, because the book was saved,

the sylph allowed me to come see you,

but I cannot stay.

Because if I do,

all my years will come back to me,

all at once, and I will turn to dust.

Then this time, take me with you.

Daddy.

Oh, Lucy.

-Come with me.

-Okay.

Hey, come on.

Fly while you can, griffin.

I swallowed an ogre whole.

You could be next.
