Prologue
-Enchanted Forest-The Day of the Curse
"I will destroy your happiness, if it's the last thing I do.
-Evil Queen Regina
These words, this was not a threat, this was a act of war, war against not only her greatest enemies, the beloved Snow White and Prince Charming but to anyone and everyone who had ever wronged the Evil Queen in her quest for power and vengeance.
So a curse was unleashed, not just any curse, but a Dark Curse, the curses to end all curses. This curse would not affect this realm but all the realms, The Enchanted Forest, Agrabah, Arendelle, Mewni, Equestria, Yonder, Middle Earth, Westeros, Atlantica, any realm, Kingdom, or individual from that land would be affected by this curse, destroying any chance they had of happiness while the Queen celebrated Victorious at Last. Nobody was happy. Except one, The Dark One.
Deep in his cell in the bowels of the dwarf mine, The Dark One or as the evil imp was also known as Rumplestiltskin sat in the corner of the cell, his crocodilian eyes looking at the faint light echoing in the distance as he could feel the shadows of the dark curse began to swarm over him and the rest of the prison. In his solitude he just laughed and laughed, his victory had come, for years he spent most of his time manipulating his the Queen to cast this curse. For years he had been the great chess master putting all the pieces in place waiting for this day when the curse would be cast, and he would go the new land, and all the pieces were ready for when the day came when the curse would break, and he could go find the one thing he wanted above all others.
It was so perfect, nothing could ruin this moment.
"Well, well, well...You did it Rumple congratulations.
The imp fell silent as recognized that jovial voice, slowly the imp crawled out into the light revealing revealing his golden skin and crocodile leather as he looked out his cell.
"Bill Cipher?" He whispered.
"Yep!" A bright light appeared in the cell making the form of a single golden triangle with one eye, hands and legs wearing a tophat and bowtie.
"What do you want dearie?" Rumpelstiltskin asked scowling. "Don't you have two little children to play with." His voice now became high pitched and playful as he teased the floating triangle.
"Hey now, you outta thank me, if it weren't for me you would never have gotten the ball rowling."
"I did what you wanted and made the changes, now if you come to join my victory party I'm afraid we are all out of snacks."
Bill laughed. "Good one, I love that Dark One wit. Nah. I'm just here to make sure you know what you are getting yourself into."
Now the imp was getting angry, he leaned in towards the triangle growling showing off every single one of his crooked teeth. "I am close to finding him!"
"Yeah, yeah….Some dark one, all schmulty….anyway...Good luck, but I'd be careful." Bill said wagging his finger. "Remember, you are about to have a lot of people who wanna see your head on a pike once they wake up. Well you and the Queen but hey fifty fifty. "
"I'll have my magic back." Rumplestiltskin giggled. "I'm not worried."
"Maybe, but they all have one thing in common with you."
"What?"
"We're villains….and when has a Villain ever gotten there happy ending?"
