Prologue
Once upon a time a young woman found herself running from the Evil Queen's black knights, how and why was a long story and to be honest she didn't much care anymore, she was just sick and tired of the Evil Queen's lies about her. This woman was tall and had a slender figure, with hair as black as the night sky, skin as white as snow and lips as red as blood. Her name? Snow White of course.
Snow had been a former princess, and ran away from her palace shortly after the death of her father, whom she suspected was murdered by the very same Queen who was hunting her, well her Black Knights at least. Her home now was the Enchanted Forest, but not for much longer. She was hoping to some day reach civilisation and buy herself passage out of the kingdom. But in order to do that she needed money. Something Snow had very little of right now.
So she had to make a stop first, at the Dark One's castle. The Dark One was Rumplestiltskin a self proclaimed sorcerer who had helped her many times in the past. For a price of course, for in his words "Magic always comes with a price." The Price of magic depended on the cost of how one used it. The bigger the Magic was the stronger the consequences were. But hopefully Snow's request was something that wouldn't have too many consequences.
How wrong she was, because today was a day unlike any other. Snow knew that from the momentntht she stepped out of her home and began her day like any other day. She planned it out in her head like she would normal do. But in today's case, something unusual would happen.
She would receive help from two unlikely allies. But when Snow wasn't prepared for how they would arrive. She remembered Rumple's words from when she last spoke to him, "at the days dawn, two strangers from a distant land will help you on your journey. At a time when you least expect it."
Snow didn't realise what that meant at the time obviously but now she obviously did. Because as soon as she reached what she realised was the edge of a cliff, she spun around to face the two remaining Black Knights both with their swords raise do at her as if to kill her.
Snow had come across this moment thousands of times and it always played out the same, she would e cornered by two of the Queen's guards and at the last minute she would be rescued by something unexpected. Or whenever possible she had to improvise the situation.
So Snow sighed and raised her arms up like she had done over a million times in the past, "ah," said one of the Knights, the all dressed and sounded alike that Snow couldn't tell which one said it, "it looks like the queen will have her revenge after all."
"Yeah," Snow sighed almost getting tired of the same routine again, "Let's just get this over with." Suddenly the Knights were confused, they hadn't expected her to do this at this Snow smiled and took her advantage, as he Knights charged with their swords, she rushed and ducked narrowly avoiding the second knight's killing blow. She then didn't look as both the Queen's Knights fell into the river below.
At least she assumed it was a river, for all Snow knew it could have been a pit of boiling lava, she didn't care to look behind in case one of the Knights were smart enough to hang onto one of the rocks. Slowly but surely she counted form one to ten to make sure that the coast was clear and as soon as she reached the number ten, she ran off in the direction she came. It was atnthat moment she chose to look up in the sky, and saw an impossible sight, something that looked like it was on fire and about to crash land not about a few feet away from her.
Before the thing crashed Snow decided to run for cover and go for her quiver, just in case this new sight contained unexpected foes. An explosion rocked the forest and as soon as the dust cleared Snow went to take a look at what had crashed, The thing was almost impossible to describe. It was small for what could make an explosion like that. It's shape was in that of a box and painted blue, with tall windows and words written across it. POLICE PUBLIC CALL BOX. There were some other words written on the door but Snow paid no attention as she was too stunned to believe what this was standing before her.
Suddenly the door of the strange machine opened and a load of steam issued from inside it's strange chambers. Quickly Snow put her black mask on covering her identity in case the boy who exited the box. He was tall and quite handsome, with dark black hair and blue eyes. Dressed in an odd assortment of clothes, including what looked like spectacles. Snow seized her chance and shot an arrow at the box. He looked like he was at the age of 18 turning 19.
The boy who sensed the arrow ducked and Snow was glad that it missed him, "what the blood hell?" She heard the boy yell as the arrow embedded itself in one of the box's doors. Snow then put on her hood and walked out form the cover that she was hiding from.
"Excuse me?" She asked the boy who was still clearly shaken by the arrow hitting what appeared to be his home. At this Snow shared a silent chuckle to herself. It was only for a brief second though as the boy noticed her. "Just how did you that?" Snow asked "and who the hell are you?"
"The... The Avatar." The boy called out, a strange name for a strange person, he spoke in an odd accent, that didn't come from anywhere Snow knew of. Snow was then taken aback by what the Avatar said next, "that arrow almost killed me!" At this Snow laughed and said jokingly.
"Just be glad it was a warning shot." She then remembered his name and tried to make a joke out of it. "Avatar was it?" She then looked at the strange machine again which was now filling itself with smoke, "strange name for a strange person."
"Warning shot?" The Avatar coughed still a bit miffed about the arrow embedding itself in his ship. "If you don't mind me asking, just who in the hell do you think you are anyway?" At this Snow laughed and finally removed her mask and hood. At this point she didn't care. She just wanted to find out who the mysterious person that called himself the Avatar was.
"My name is Snow... Snow White." This revelation shocked the Avatar who was now staring at her with wide eyes, and to Snow's surprise complete and utter horror...
