Emma thought for a moment and then said "Deal."
"Excellent." said Gold.
"If you tell me everything."
"What."
"I know there must be more that you're not telling me, there always is; now normally I don't care but this involves my son, so you tell me everything or I won't help Bell if you die."
"Is that a threat?"
"It involves my son so you better believe it, come on I wouldn't hold back from you if it involved your son, I'm only asking that you do the same for me."
"Very well Miss Swan would like to know."
"Everything and anything that could possibly relate to Henry's safety, what this power is, and how it will affect you, or anyone else."
"Okay then, odds are Henry will be safe up to the point where we actually have to fight Peter Pan, he will want him to be safe and unharmed so that he can use him as a bargaining chip, but when we have to fight him all bets are off on who is safe."
"Okay and."
"This power is very old, as I said it is the most ancient of dark magic, going back to near the dawn of time, it was created after magic was corrupted by people using it, once I gain that power I can cast any and all spells, including the forbidden curses."
"Okay, what are those?"
"There are five of them that I know of, the first one allows you to revive the recent dead but it takes hundreds of years worth of life force to do it, and will only revive them for a short time about one second to every 300 years of life force you use, it can also revive the long dead, assuming you have a strand of hair from two family members that are blood relations, and in this case requires thousands of years of life force for only one or two seconds."
"So you could revive Neil with yours and Henry's hair, and since you're immortal, you won't have to worry about paying the life force."
"You're very clever, yes that is one of my plans, the second one allows me to kill anyone or anything instantly without hope of them being revived or being able to be healed, the third one would allow me to control how a person acts, be able to change their personalities like mutual what they like hate, love, who they care about, those sorts of things, although you'd be unable to destroy or creates true love using this, but you could still make someone care about you or hate someone, shift their morals, and make them do things that they would not normally do, the fourth one would allow you to track persons energy, like the spell I gave Charming to track Jefferson, only in this case you don't need an object the person has, while it would work with that, you can also use a loved one's memory or the last place they were, or place they've been."
"So you can use that one to find Neil."
"Exactly, the last forbidden curse is actually one I made, it's the Dark Curse."
"Wait a second I thought Regina could cast that, so how is it forbidden."
"In order to cast that particular curse, Regina had sacrificed the heart of her father, along with many other things in order to do it, but the heart of her father was the heart of the person who loved her unconditionally, even though he knew all the terrible things she had done he still loved her and would do anything for her, this kind of love was something that a truly evil person should not have, that they could not have, that is why Regina was the only person who could possibly cast it, because by some fluke of nature she did."
"Okay, that makes sense, so how will this new power affect you."
"Once I gain this power, instead of being a curse, I will have true dark magic inside of me, so true loves kiss will not be able to take my power, I will be able to use it anywhere even in places where there is no magic like beyond the border, I could use magic, without actually having to pay a price, or at least less of one."
"Hold on I thought all magic and the price."
"It does, that's why I hate fairies."
"Okay, explain."
"All magic comes with a price that is because it follows the same rules as normal matter; you cannot create something out of nothing, only with magic it involves an equilibrium, you can't get good stuff to happen without something bad happening, or vice versa; now I accept this fact, that is why I always have a price when I use my magic, the fairies on the other hand do not, that is why they are so much better liked; but the thing is, they do have a price, it's just someone other than them pays it, when they save a child from sickness they don't allow themselves to get sick or someone else from the Royal family that they are helping to get sick, so who get sick."
"I don't know."
"The answer is a peasant, a nameless nobody, in some village, where sickness happens all the time, a child gets sick, because in order for one to be healed, one other has to be made sick; now this is okay, until you consider what about the child that was dying and was saved, what about the Queen that was barren but now isn't, what about the field that was not producing but now is, what about a happy ending that was made, in order for these to happen, someone who is not under the fairies protection must die, must become barren, must have a field that no longer produces, must lose their happy ending."
"That's horrible, how do they get away with this."
"Most of them don't even know it, and those that do figures it's for the greater good, but either way, if I gain this power, I'll be able to draw from magic itself, I will manipulate it, turning dark magic into good magic and vice versa, so that I will no longer need to charge as high of a price for my services, because I can use dark magic to do the harm, and the good magic to the good."
"Okay, how could you change magic?"
"If you have a good side, you can turn dark magic good, or with a bad side turn good magic dark."
"Oh, okay so what else.
"I might also be able to use whatever is left of the true love potion to be able to suppress the dark ones nature, when combined with the personality changing curse, I may be able to make it so that I'll be less defensive of my son and family, I knows and sound very good, but considering because of that I lost him, I think it will be better I took it down a few notches, at least to the point where I don't feel the urge to turn a man into a snail and step on them because my son ran in front of his cart and got hurt."
"Yes I suppose that might be good idea, but why did you need true love in the first place, can't you just take his power."
"He must either give it up willingly, or must be so weak that he could not resist my attempts to take it, that's why he needs Henry to bargain with me, because he can't just take my powers, so he'll trade the boy for them."
"Okay so is anything else I need to know, and even if I don't need to know it is there anything else that is important or even unimportant."
"No, no that's everything."
"Are you sure Gold, are you really sure that is everything."
"Yes Emma that's everything, I'm not going to lie to you because you wouldn't lie to me if it was my son, so I wouldn't lie to you either."
"Thank you."
The next day they got their first sight of Neverland, it was a nice island, lots of trees sandy beaches and sunny, it would be even nicer if they were here for a different reason. After leaving the boat they headed for Peter Pan's hideout.
"Okay so how do we know that he doesn't know were here?" Charming asked.
"Oh he knows were here, he knows why we're here, and he knows that we know where he is, he'll be waiting, probably with a large number of lost boys guarding Henry." Said Gold.
"Then why not just come out and attack us?" Regina asked.
"Because he wants to have the home field advantage, and attacking us is not what he wants, he knows that he can't beat me, so you can use Henry to give me to surrender my power."
"So were going to walk into a trap, fight off a large number of lost boys which are probably had hundreds of years of training and fighting, along with a magical shadow that is two times stronger than you are, while they're holding Henry captive, and walk out of there alive and with them being the ones that lose." Said Snow.
"Yep, so what can possibly go wrong?" Said Gold.
They walked in silence for a long time, each one thinking but not wanting to say what they all knew, that this was suicide mission, and odds are none of them would get out of it alive, but that they were all willing to risk it in order to save Henry. When they got to the entrance to Peter Pan's hideout Gold asked if they all knew what they had to do, nodding they went inside.
Thanks to JChase for the review, sorry about nothing happening really in the chapter, just wanted make some things clear before next chapter, next one will be from Henry's point of view about being captured and rescued.
