Wading through the think moist jungle came an evil Queen, certain in her steps but lost in her eyes. She had been on a long journey, but was not pleased at where she was at the moment. Regina moved the thick green leaves away with her powers while trying to find her way through the jungle. SLAP! A green leave bounced back and smacked against Regina's head. She grumbled and raised her hands to clear her vision of leaves. Even after a year of magic training with Rumplstiltskin, she still had not gained complete control over her magic. Every once in a while, her focus would slip up and the magic would backfire. It irritated Regina to no matter, and to prove her compitence she always threw herself in the magic test of Rumple. Just like today. The Dark one had send her to an island in the stars, called Neverland. She had never heard of it before, but right now she wished she had done more research.
The jungle seemed endless, green stretching wherever it met the eye. Regina could not figure out just how much ground she had covered and how much was still left to be conquered. Rumple's task had sounded easy, but Regina started to doubt her judgement. "Find the treasure" he had said, for he had asked this many times in previous tests. Regina never had any trouble with it, and it had made her careless. She had not anticipated what this island would do to her. She had had visions, dreams and hallucinations of people she knew from the past and has left behind. Each left her breathless and paranoid. The visions did not seem friendly, and this worried Regina. What is this kind of place and what is it doing to her? Regina started walking again, this time actually using her hands to ward off the leaves. She felt like she had been going on for hours, and hours. She was parched and hoped she would soon find a small pond to quench her thirst.
Suddenly, she saw a flash of yellow in the corner of her eye. She grumbled and prepared herself for what was coming next. On this island there was no guessing what was coming for you, and she had to be ready for everything. WOOSH. A flash of green through the dark bushes. WOOSH. Another to her right. She walked over to where she had just seen the flash. The leaves seemed to have some sort of glittery powder over it. Regina carefully slid two fingers over the leaves, picking up the substance and rubbed it between her fingers and her thumb. "Wait a minute. I know this powder.." She narrowed her eyes and removed the powder from her hands. "Fairy Dust." Her shoulders relaxed and her fighters pose wore off. She dealt dealt with this before, she had dealt with HER before. "Tinkerbelle..."
She straightened her back, closed her eyes and inhaled deeply. She needed to be calm to do this right. She put her arms out in front of her and spread her fingers. She felt the magic surge through her veins. She twisted her hands and brought them towards herself. She felt some pull at her magic. Her brows furrowed, this was not what she expected. This did not feel right. She shook her arms loose and tried again. Again, she felt the struggle but this time she was prepared for it. Using every strength she could muster she tried to keep her magic strong. Sweat started to form on her forehead and her arms started to shake. She was almost there. Just a little bit longer. Finally, she felt the purple shadow appear in front of her, and Regina let go with a moan. Recollecting herself to face the fairy she kept her eyes closed for another second. When she finally opened her eyes, she did not see what she had expected. "Who are you, and why are you dressed like Tink?"
