Backstory:

Regina still tried to curse the Enchanted Kingdom to stop happy endings but it was unsuccessful, the mirror turned against her fed up of being used. Still believing the curse would take place Emma was put in the wardrobe but was send to Arendelle instead of our would where she grew up as a Orphan still, befriending Elsa as they both struggled with magic. Snow and Charming worked for years to find their daughter, finally finding her when Arendelle seeks assistance in handling Hans and his brothers. Charming and Snow are preparing for the birth of their second child while getting to know their first, when Emma goes missing while Snow is entering labour they end word to the loyal and trusted Jones brothers to return their daughter.

"This is an honour men" Liam shouted at the crew "We must do our best to find Princess Emma, for all those who aid the search your help will be much appreciated and reported back to the Prince" he shouted as the crew nodded gathering items to start the search

"You requested everyone to help?" Killian asked approaching the ship

"The King may have just asked for us but the more help the better" Liam replied "He's a good King, if evil has taken the Princess away we must do our best to retrieve her, she's lived as a Orphan once and still seems to be as kind-hearted as the King and Queen" he smiled "Let's not forget it was the Princess who convinced the King to keep us together instead of separating us to separate ships, not many people would" Killian nodded remembered the King himself coming down to tell the brothers that although tradition was for them to go about separate missions, his daughter whom he was trying so hard to connect with and understand had told him they would want to stay together, after hearing of the two orphan brothers she had made it her mission to ensure they would stay together even though she had never met either of them

"I would like to thank the Princess" Killian said as Liam patted his shoulder

"And that we will if we find her, little brother"

"Younger brother" Killian resorted causes Liam to smirk

"Captain!" one of the crew shouted getting his attention "Some children running from the forest, bruised. One of the children says Princess Emma saved her" Liam took in a breath and nodded turning to Killian

"Its looks like the Princess is in danger, I need to gather the crew. Will you go and get information from the child?" Killian nodded

"Anything to repay the Princess"

"Good man" Liam responding running away as Kilian went to find a small child, no older than 10 by the looks of her

"Hello" he smiled kneeling down "I'm a Lieutenant, my brother is captain of the Jewel behind us. We were asked to find the Princess" the little girl looked up

"You'll save Emma?" at the lack of formality Killian was somewhat shocked

"We will do our best. DO you know her?" the girl shook her head

"She told me to call her Emma" she muttered as Killian smiled, the Princess was truly kind-hearted everyone reported as such, it should be no surprise she had comforted this child allowing her to use her name while she saved her

"Well since the Princess allowed you to used her name, you may call me Killian"

"Killian" she tried the name on her tongue and smiled "My name is Esme" he smiled at her

"What a lovely name" she smiled in return "What did the Princess save you from?" Esme leaned forward and in a whisper

"The evil Queen" Killian's eyes bulged as he looked down at the girl

"She has returned?" Esme nodded

"There were black knights and Emma freed us telling us to run home and warn the others" Killian nodded

"How did the Princess look?"

"Really pretty" Esme replied as Kilian chuckled

"I mean was her appearance messed? I need to try to work out if she already encountered the evil queen" Esme nodded

"She had a cut on her face" Killian nodded worry clear on his face "Do you think the evil queen has her?" Esme asked looking concerned herself

"If she does we will do what we can to free her, the Princess is strong she will be ok"

"I know" Esme smiled "You'd have to be powerful to escape the evil queen" Killian nodded slowly

"Do you know if its true that she has magic?" Killian asked "I heard rumours of her befriending Queen Elsa practicing their magic together back when the Princess was still lost, but I'm at sea a lot" Esme smiled nodding

"The Princess has shown everyone good magic, she had light magic" Killian nodded

"Then she must be a match for the evil queen. Thank you, Esme, I promise when we return the Princess she will know you helped us find her" Esme smiled

"Will you hug her from me?" Kilian's eyes bulged again "I think she really needs a hug" Kilian's eyes softened as he nodded holding his hand out to the girl

"Which way is your house?" she pointed letting Killian lead her home and return her to her parents who thanked him before he returned to inform his brother that they would be going up against the evil queen herself.

"The evil queen" Liam breathed shaking his head "The hatred she holds I will never understand" Killian nodded in agreement

"How will we find the Princess" Liam removed his hands from his pockets revealing a compass device

"We know both the queen and the Princess process magic, the evil queen clearly had dark magic while the Princess has the opposite, the compass points to the strongest magic or a particular type. It's how people have located the dark on in the past. What I'm hoping is Princess Emma is the strongest light one, that or we'll have to seek out the dark one to locate her" Killian nodded

"It will lead us to the Princess I'm sure" Liam looked at his brother puzzled

"I know she helped us stay together brother but we still have yet to meet her, how can you be sure her light is so strong?"

"She is kind-hearted from all accounts; she could have escaped the evil queen from the sounds of it but instead saved the children. There's not many people I know who are kind-hearted from all accounts" Liam nodded in response

"Right you are" he pointed the compass towards the sun and watched the arrow spin "If you face a source of natural light the compass will point towards the strongest light magic" he explained, the arrow stilled pointed into the distance of the sea "It looks like, if Princess Emma is the strongest light magic, she's no longer in this land" Killian nodded

"Do we send word to the King and Queen?" Liam nodded

"I will send letter and ask for it to be arrived after the arrival of the new Prince or Princess" Killian nodded "Killian I need you to ready the ship"

"Liam… I am just a Lieutenant" Liam nodded

"And after getting the princess to safety you will likely receive a promotion. But even now brother you were requested and trusted with the safety of the Princess. It is a honour that you have earnt" Killian smiled at his brother nodding

"I will prepare everyone"
