Prologue
Night had already fallen over the kingdom, but the lights were still burning brightly throughout the city.
The air was charged with magic, the citizens of the Kingdom awaiting the announcement of the princess's name and with it maybe they'd finally be free of all that is evil. The two boys standing by the docks knew different already.
"Oops…" a small voice could be heard from a person just as small.
His older brother was standing right beside him, holding his hand and rolling his eyes.
Just what they needed, a trip back memory lane.
The two of them were standing at the docks, the sea and the royal guards ships in front of them, the wind gushing in their faces and all around them festivities for the birth of a princess. A princess the both of them knew better than they'd like to admit standing in the middle of the past.
"Do you see what I see?" The older one pointed to the ship closest to them.
One particular pirate ship was docked in the middle of all the royal navy's.
Jolly Roger in neat letters written at the side of it. Liam gasped and grabbed his brother's hand tighter.
"Mom's never to find out about it," Henry mumbled while casting a glamour spell over the both of them like his grandfather had taught him not so long ago, all the while looking around for a certain Captain. It was a pretty bold move to dock right here on such a day, but he wouldn't expect his step-father to do anything else. Hiding in plain sight is exactly what he'd do.
"Daddy never mentioned that he had been in the Enchanted Forest when Mom was born," Henry's younger brother Liam muttered. Henry just rolled his eyes and sighed. Killian, or as he secretly still called him, dad, had a way of always sugar coating things and thinking about it, he was probably passed out on the ship and wouldn't wake up just before the curse hit to team up with Cora. What would actually explain his dad's explanation about never having met the Charmings before.
"Lad…", he rolled his eyes. He spent way too much time with Killian. "Liam. You can ask Dad when we get back to our time. First and foremost, we need to find a way back home. Or more likely back to our time, and hope that our dear sister is around here somewhere as well."
