Prologue
In the land of fairy tales the war between the Evil Queen and Snow White raged on. The specter of the Queen's curse was felt over the entire Snow Kingdom, many proposals were brought about in hopes to end the senseless fighting. The other kingdoms who somehow found themselves at either side of the conflict, ally's from all sides struggled to counsel the main opponents in war, sometimes only to find themselves at an impasse. After a consultation with the captive Rumpelstiltskin, Snow White had commissioned Geppetto to create a beautiful magical wardrobe fashioned from the last known Enchanted tree in the known lands within her kingdom. It was with heavy hearts as Emma was born with no sign of the curse yet to be, that the baby was placed into the wardrobe never to be seen again.
The heartache that followed as a vengeful Queen appeared before the inconsolable court to offer her condolences for their loss was great indeed for the Evil Queen had found her solace in knowledge that Snow White would never know the love of her first-born daughter.
Even Maleficent, who's own power struggle with the offspring of her mortal nemesis finally came to a close, remarked that even she had not thought of cruelty to such an extent to her ally the Evil Queen.
Years had passed and the war had finally come to a standstill, the Queen beautiful as ever waited and watched her enemy as she toiled to find some way to bring her reign to an end. But she was a harsh as she was a just Queen to her people and so Snow White and her spies could find no quarter within the Realm of Regina's kingdom. And while it was only a scant few years only less than five that the realm of fairy tales, in the world without magic twenty eights years had passed and so the land of magic called forth the Princess once lost to it, and Emma nursing a wicked hangover, found herself in a clearing located between both Queens' kingdoms, greeting a brand new day.
