voice-testing. someone stop me.

[makingfire]

Mun, this is not your best idea.

[Her sword is drawn, and she isn't happy]

I promised Philip I'd protect her, but I cannot do it here. It's dangerous- everywhere is dangerous- especially now the curse is broken.

I have to leave. I have to find Aurora.

[her grip tightens on her sword handle]

I have to deal with them for bringing the wraith.

[theboywiththebook]

The wraith?...

[Them?]

Who's them?

[makingfire]

A terrible creature that took someone from us.

And 'them'? They are two people who appeared where it came from-

[Why is she telling this to...a boy?]

...It doesn't concern you.

[theboywiththebook]

What did they look like?

[Sorry, Mulan. He's not leaving. Because, if this was the same wraith maybe...but it took someone from this woman and another person. Not sure how to feel about that.]

[makingfire]

[She sighs and finally puts away her sword. Pointy things around children...yeah. Not good.]

Two women. One has short hair, the other has blonde? Brunette? [She was a bit too mad to pay attention to physical features] Clothing I haven't seen here before.

I cannot tell you their names, they aren't awake yet.

[theboywiththebook]

[That sounds a lot like...]

You mean Emma and Snow white?! They're okay?!

[makingfire]

Sno-Snow White? The Princess?

[Well...she wasn't expecting that. So there is a way to bring everyone back- to get everyone here somewhere safer.

And she figures it gives Aurora someone to else to talk to.]

They're fine, but..why would she bring the wraith?

[theboywiththebook]

Yeah, she was brought to Storybrooke because of the curse.

[Ooooh boy...this is going to be awkward.]

They were...they were keeping Regina safe from it because I asked them too. My Gra- Prince James said they were going to send it back to their world because it was gone.

[makingfire]

[...oh Henry, that's not good]

You sent it here.. It killed Prince Philip, so you could protect the one that did this to them? To the land?

Why?

[theboywiththebook]

...She's my mom.

[Oh God what even. He's not feeling any better though. He didn't want anyone to die.]

She may be evil but she's still...

[makingfire]

[Being frozen for 28 years wasn't as strange as how things are turning out]

Still what? Regina is evil, the fact she has a...son [yeah...weird] doesn't change that.

[theboywiththebook]

I know that now...she's the evil queen. That's all she'll ever be.

[He's got a lot of bitterness to her now.]

But, no one deserves something like that to happen to them. Not even her or Phillip.

[makingfire]

You are right. Regina deserves more than that. She has to answer for her crime, not have her soul taken because of a mark.

[Speaking of which, she's kind of wondering how that happened in the first place.]

[seesbeauty]

The wraith?

[Nervous? Visibly. Rumpelstiltskin was the one who brought the wraith after all.] It didn't hurt you, did it?

[makingfire]

[She shakes her head, letting her sword drop by her side]

I'm unharmed.

[The same can't be said for Philip]

[seesbeauty]

[A sigh of relief, and a smile. She's been smiling more and more recently, though no one would ever believe that Rumpelstiltskin was the cause of it. Still not the easiest task to relearn though.]

Good. Rumpelstiltskin told me that it didn't hurt Regina but you had me worried.

[makingfire]

It didn't hurt me, but it did hurt another.

[It comes out harsher than intended, but she's mad.]

[seesbeauty]

[Oh. Oh, well that's not good. It's the opposite of what she wants to hear. She would rather have less reason to be torn about Rumpelstiltskin's behavior.]

I'm so sorry to hear that. I really am.
