The Lines That Blur
Summary: Saviors are fated to die for a greater good, but it's always their fates? Is evil truly made or can it also be born, are dark and light and good and evil one are they the same or different? AU.
Disclaimer: I do not own Once Upon a Time or the characters except the ones that are mine, but if I did Seasons Four and Five would have been done differently. Also after watching Season Six especially after episode 6x19 The Black Fairy, it got me wondering about the Savior mythology because I feel the writers haven't really given much thought it, especially when they always use the 'evil is made than born' excuse. Also the show pointed out that prophecies don't always come true a certain way, so this me an idea. Please be kind to me and be open minded when you reads cause this is the first time I ever did an alternate universe story. Enjoy
Was Evil Made This Winter
"You son is destined to be a great hero, do not take that from him. You do not need the power." Blue pleading to Fiona who looked erratic, holding the Sheers of Destiny over the baby.
"Don't tell me what I need!" As Fiona was about to use the sheers, they suddenly vanish from her hand. Confused she turned to the Blue Fairy.
"What did you do?!" Fiona angrily said as she looked at the Blue Fairy who was holding the Sheers of Destiny.
"Preventing you from doing something terrible." The Blue Fairy said.
"I am trying to keep my baby from dying! How can you even consider this?" Fiona said as her face was red with tears.
The Blue Fairy calmly said, "Sometimes we have to do things for a greater good."
Fiona yelled, "Give me the sheers."
Tiger Lily pleaded, "Fiona let's talk about this please."
Fiona enraged charged at the Blue Fairy, then with her wand the Blue Fairy shot a blast of magic at Fiona. Causing her wand to break and getting sucked into a portal.
After Fiona was gone, Tiger Lily rushed to the boy, and Tiger Lily picked him up and hold him close, while Blue took the broken wand.
"Why did you do that?! We could have reasoned with her!" Tiger Lily said as she held the fussing baby.
"I had to save the Savior, it was the only way." Blue said.
"The only way! We could have done something and instead we condemned a child to die at the hands of his mother." Tiger Lily feeling upset about the predicament they were in.
"Red I banished her to anther realm, there be no way she can return." Blue assured Tiger Lily.
Tiger Lily became upset, "How can you be so sure! Do you realize what you have done?!"
Blue felt enraged but remained stoic, "What I have done to protect the Savior was banish the Great Evil to another realm to prevent him from harm! Beside she was beyond saving."
"She was trying to protect her child…"
"Do you forget that she was going to crush your heart?!" Blue said.
"For Gods' sake Blue she was a mother who do anything to protect her child. What kind of mother would she be if she just simply let her child die?" Tiger Lily asked as she bounced the fussy baby in her arms.
"A mother who should have accepted her child's fate." Blue coldly said.
Tiger Lily was shocked at Blue being so calm, considering the fact that the Savior's mother was just banished to another realm a few moments ago. The baby continued to fuss despite Tiger Lily's effort to comfort the child.
Tiger Lily said, "How are we going to explain this to her husband?"
Blue said, "We simply tell Malcolm that Fiona died protecting the Savior from a great evil."
"Are you saying that we should lie about what happened to Fiona?"
"We're merely telling her family she died a hero, that's partially true."
Tiger Lily sigh, "It's not very Fairy like to lie."
"I will be judge of what is Fairy like!" Blue yelled, causing Tiger Lily to be startled, causing more distress to the baby. Blue then calmly said, "Now let's return the child to his Father."
As they were leaving the Sacred Fairy Vault, Tiger Lily felt something was wrong with the whole situation, it just didn't make sense, why was Fiona prophesied to be the Great Evil to begin with? What if she didn't become the Black Fairy, then who or what would be the Great Evil? Why would a mother be fated to kill her own child? The prophecy said that a child would be born in winter, as well as a great evil by its mark of a crescent moon.
Tiger Lily thought to herself, "But apparently evil wasn't born it was made because a mother wanted to sever the Savior's fate simply because she wanted to protect her child."
But then Tiger Lily realized that prophecies were not always accurate, and its magic can be skewed showing different paths, and sometimes can come true in a way you would at least expect. So what if Fiona wasn't the Great Evil at all? What if there was more to the prophecy than what showed? Tiger Lily wondered if there could more to it, but for now they need to take the Savior home to his Father.
Again, this an idea that I had, so please be open minded. Also this is not related to my other fic Stranger in a Strange Land a Lord of the Rings/Once Upon a Time crossover. But I will update that story soon.
