Chapter 1. What's going on ?
As soon as Zelena and Hades were out of the room, Robin smiled and him and Regina both let out a breath they were holding the entire time.
"Who needs a plan when you've got blind luck on your side.", he said smiling once more.
Both of them immediately entered the room going towards the baby still waiting in her crib, Robin took her in his and she cooed he couldn't help the grin that appeared on his face as soon as her eyes opened, Regina looked at the cute baby in Robin's arms glad that she was unharmed., "You're father is here,", he was so happy to see her that he couldn't stop smiling and he doubted that it would ever die down. "And everything is gonna be alright."
"I wouldn't be so sure !", they heard from behind them, and they both suddenly turned around, but not before Robin put back the baby in the crib to see Hades with some kind of crystal stick in hands.
"You stay away from my daughter !", Robin said pointing a finger at Hades. He would do anything to protect his family. Regina looked briefly at her left towards the door briefly, and if she saw something passing as fast as light she didn't say anything or looked further, she looked back at Hades.
"Believe me she's not the one who's in danger.", he said pointing the crystal at Regina.
"Hades stop !",looking wide eyes right at him. She wouldn't admit it but at that she felt a pang of fear inside of her, "This isn't worth it, if you kill me you will loose Zelena forever !", Regina said calling to his common sense.
"Ssshhh ! Only if she knows about it,", he said with a smirk, "and this, this isn't going to kill you it's going to end you, no Underworld, no moving on...one minute you exist and the next you don't !", he said toying with the crystal and pointing it at Regina.
Robin put a hand in front of him and the other one was on the foot of the baby in her crib. "This was my idea to break in here, just use that on me you let her go !", he said placing the hand he had on his baby somewhat in front of Regina. Regina whispered a 'No !' to him, grabing his arm. Hades let his arm drop and put it back up as quick as it had.
"Oh ! Sorry lady's first !", he said pointing it at Regina once again and the crystal lit with a bright blue light. Regina yelled a 'No !', she lifted both her hands up and suddeny time seemed to stop as Regina didn't move both hands in the air, Robin was on his toes as if he was going to put him self in front of her, the baby's legs were in the air, and Hades was a few feet from Regina the crystal still in hands from wich some sort of ligthning came out of and was half way to Regina.
The three of them were like frozen in time, it was almost a death silence around but you could still hear the shifting of material because for some reason the baby wasn't frozen. A girl stepped in she had dark hair, she was wearing a shirt with a tree on it with a light blue jean and baskets, and was caring some kind of gold shield in her hand, she came over to the baby and watched her, she laughed heartedly and placed a hand on the baby's tummy, she opened her eyes and giggled grabing the girl's thumb. She went over to where Regina was standing, Robin was almost in front of her, she looked at them and put the shield in Robin's hand,then went over to the desk, sat on the chair elbows on the desk, she took the picture frame closer to her to have a better look at it and dropped her head in her hands until she heard steps, she claped her fingers and poofed out of the room. Zelena stepped in the doorframe and was met with the sight of a cloud of purple smoke at her sister's desk and the man she loved pointing the crystal at her sister, Robin a shield in his hand almost in front of Regina she wondered why they didn't move but that thought only lasted a second as everything begun to move again. Robin was before Regina shield in hand as the lightening hit it, as he wasn't prepared for the chock, he stumbled backward against Regina who hit the glass table behind and gasped.
The next morning Regina, Robin, Emma, Hook, David and Snow met at Granny's before the opening to talk about what happened the nigt before. Snow and David had just come in the dinner when Regina scolded that they were late but the two shoved it off. Granny told them that she wouldn't 'push her opening hour just for their if they want to make it a habit they might as welle pay for the clients she'll lose if she opens late', none of them answered the remark as they all knew it was not open for discussion and started the meeting.
"So what do we know so far about...everything ?", Emma asked not sure what news any of them had.
"Well for my part I went back to my office to see if I coud sense anything but the only thing I could sense was the residual magis of the cristal but apart that I...didn't", Regina said not really lying even thought she did sense some other magic but she felt something weird about it anddidn't know who it belonged to so she didn't think it was relevant. "But maybe you should come check see if you can ?", she said to Emma.
"Sure, I'll come with you when we're done. So...", but she didn't get to end the sentence as Snow cut her off.
"Well we looked for what shield it could be from the picture you send me Regina and there is a good chance that it's Zeus Aegis but to be sure we need to check the inscription marked inside, it's suppose to say: 'Movo...Mono...uhh I wrote it down.", Snow said handing them a piece of paper with written on it 'Μόνο η πιο αγνή και πιο αγαπημένη ον διαθέτει ένα ισχυρό μυαλό θα χειριστεί αυτό το σύνολο'. "So it's supposed to be on the inside a few inches on top of the handle, did you see anything writing on it ?", Snow asked Robin and he answered saying he didn't see anything but mostly because he didn't really had the time to see anything anyway.
"What do you mean you didn't have the time don't you have it ?", Emma asked looking at Regina.
"Of course we do, there was just some...issue with it.", Regina simply answered looking right back at Emma as she asked what kind of issue what could possibly have happened with a shield as big as it is ! "Well that's the thing...", Regina started and Robin continued "it turned into a ball as soon as the light went back to Hades", as he took the said shield/ball out of his pocket. Emma, Snow and David looked at it dumbfounded as the shield was pretty big and it could fit in the palm of their hand.
"Well have to open it again ?", Snow asked and Robin both looked as if she was completely stupid.
"No we didn't we saw it turn into a ball and just left it !",Regina replied. Emma took the ball from Robin's hand epecting to do something but as it didn't she looked at it more precisely to see something, anything that could help figure out how to change it back. "What does it mean maybe it'd help us open it !", Regina said looking at Snow.
"What ?"
"The phrase.", Emma understanding what Regina and knew that she probably would have eploded if she had had to answer. Snow looked at the paper and said that yeah Belle had told them what it meant she was gonna say what it meant but David beat her to it.
"It means 'Only the purest and most loving being possessing a strong mind will wield this set' !",David said, Emma and Regina looked at each other both thinking the same thing. Emma gave the ball to Snow, who asked why she was giving it to her and Regina both replied at the same time that it was probably gonna be her who will most certainly turn it back into a shield. Snow then asked what she was suppose to do and David maybe she just had to think that she wants to open it and she did for about ten minutes before it annoyed her and stoped. Emma suggested that maybe it was because they did not need at the moment after all it only closed after the attack was over and Regina let out an angry breath and took it from Snow's hand harshly.
"Why can't it open for gods sake !", she yelled and then the ball turned around Regina's hand attaching itself to her then it turned rapidly into a circle in front of her and the shield appeared. An 'I'll be damned' as she looked at her friend, Snow, David and Granny had gasped and Robin had come as fast as it had started to Regina's side protectively.
"What the hell ?!", she said watching the shield closely, moving her hand sightly to see if it would change back but it didn't. "What happened ?", Regina said only looking at the shield. Snow responded by saying 'the shield just opened' and Emma, Robin and Regina looked at her frowning but the last one was the only saying what the were they were thinking. "Yeah! Thanks for clarifying that for us !", she answered not really whispering 'Moron!' that followed. "I meant why did it open now ?", Snow looked right at her and was gonna say that she didn't understand either but Henry barged in followed by Violet.
"Moms !, didn't you guys said that no one could come in our out due to the curse casted, right ?", Henry looking at both his mother that were now siting next to eachother. They looked at eachother then at Henry and asked at the same time,
"Why what's going on ?"
"Well we were walking by the park,", he said gesturing between himself and Violet, "and then I saw this girl she was walking by the park too but I never saw her before, I don't think she's from town ! And maybe she's related with what happened last night or she knows something or something.", Henry said but then paused knowing that he forgot something. "Oh! I think she was coming in this direction that's sprinted straight here.", he said that so fast he was out of breath. Surely a few seconds later a girl came inside the diner head down. She walked to the counter took a wallet out of her backpack, and let out all the money inside and started counting it and finally she lifted her head and upon seeing Granny she waved, it took the old lady a while to come as she couldn't stop wondering who she was (as well as everyone, every single one of them kept staring at her).
"Do you have anything warm I can have for 2 dollars and...57 cents ?", the girl asked. She did look pretty cold, her skin was pale and she was shivering.
"We have warm milk for two dollars ?", Granny said it sounded like a question but it wasn't, at least not about the price she the price of everything in her Bed&Breakfast/Restaurant, the question was more for the girl if she was going to pay for itor not since it seemed to be the last of her money. The girl said that she'll take it and handed the woman a one dollar bill and for quarters, then sat on a stool. When Granny came back with the warm milk and posed it in front of her the girl and she directly put her hands around the cup to warm up a bit and adressed a 'Thank you', Granny answered with a nod. The newest customer sipped a little of the milk before putting the cup back down on the counter.
"Are you all gonna keep staring at me ?", she said sying and shaking her head. Emma stepped forward and put her in the teenager's line of sight.
"I'm Emma.", the girl turned to face her, seemed to think about something and shook Emma's hand.
"Maya.", she said smiling.
