Erasmus Darkening: Difference between revisions

Darkening became obsessed with his immortality, and began to call the Manor his dominion. Marchwood confronted him again, and tricked him into stepping into a electromagnetic field, ending his existence whereupon by stabbing his sword into the metallic floor engraving of the Marchwood family seal, which channelled the energy into it and trapped Darkening inside to be destroyed. His last words were, "Eternity... I've lost eternity!" With Darkening vanquished, [[Sarah Jane Smith]] disabled his device once and for all.

According to another account, Erasmus Darkening wasn't an "evil" alien who had kidnapped humans. He was an alien who came to Ashen Hill Manor hundreds of years before 2009 and was stuck there. His machine would take him anywhere but it was broken. People thought there was a ghost in the house but it was just Erasmus Darkening who was reading books, watching the fountain or hearing the bells. He had to do something while he was stuck in the house. Sarah Jane finally repaired Erasmus's machine and Erasmus could leave Ashen Hill Manor. His last words were, "Free at last."
