AUTHOR'S NOTES: After watching Once Upon a Time's season finale today, I realized I wanted to write a sequel for season 6 about Henry, what happened to him and his daughter Lucy. So, I started writing and this is what happened. Looking at it now, I guess it works like a Pilot. There is not much here yet, but if you like it, I'll write a whole chapter and write a story of about 15 to 20 chapters. And I'll also follow yout suggestions and recommendations to write this fanfiction.
Enchanted Forest
During a time of upheaval...
My dear Lucy,
If you are reading this, I'm afraid something must have gone terribly wrong. My heart is heavy with the simple idea of imagining you roaming alone through the worlds. I didn't chose to leave you, I assure you. But sometimes dark forces find a way to estrange the people we most love, challenging us to get back to each other.
But you already know that, don't you? You're a clever girl.
That's why it's time for you to read daddy's new book. Yes, this is not a prank. You can read it. In fact, you should do it. Operation Golden Goose is on to the next level and you're now granted access to the contents of the book you've been protecting. However, Lucy, I must warn you: this book is more serious than you think, and as soon as you start reading it, you'll realize why you're protecting it.
A long, long time ago, when I was a child, an old story book led me to the Savior. A book like the one you've in your hands. Yes, it may even look like the old one, but you must never judge a book by its cover. The truth it holds is a new one, the story of what happened after the final battle your grandma Emma fought. Here are the tales I've never told you about our family.
You know, stories never end. That moment when good and evil did the right thing, a new beginning started. And yes, for a few years everything seemed finally as it should be, I was certain it was the beginning of a new, happy and wonderful story. But for how long can a story be a happy one? For a time, I believed in forever. I could dwell on those happy days if I had the time to write about them. You've heard me and mommy telling you most of them anyway.
But they are only part of a greater truth.
What you'll find out here is that somewhere in those happy years after the final battle, darkness found a way to creep back into to our lives again, as it always does. We were blinded by our own happiness to realize the world was changing around us, that time was stopping once again and that magic was slowly being drained from Storybrooke. That's is the reason I've never told you about why we moved to the Enchanted Forest.
Something happened, and even today we don't know what exactly. As soon as we started catching the signals of something wicked in our town, we tried to find out what kind of evil was destroying it. We scavenged the forest. We questioned every newcomer in Storybrooke. Regina even tried to create a new spell. But the town was dying by itself, the threads of magic sustaining it growing weaker by the day… and one morning we simply woke up back on the Enchanted Forest.
I guess the new story truly started that moment, when everything started to go from bad to worst. And it was also by then that we realized who among our people was the new Savior… and you know your lessons, Lucy, don't you? Wherever there's a Savior, there's a villain who brings them down.
This is the kind of stories you'll find here.
Here is the reason why you need to find me.
And I believe you can do it.
I truly do, little one.
Love you more than stardust,
Dad
