Emma and Ruby appeared back at Gold's shop sitting on the couch.
"All this poofing is making my head worse." Emma pouted and leaned into Ruby.
Ruby wrapped her arm around her girlfriend and rubbed her arm. She didn't like that she couldn't do anything for Emma.
"I'm going to fix it I promise." Ruby said while she kissed Emma's forehead.
"What if we can't?"
"From what Blue and Gold has been saying I think that we are somehow connected to Rojo and Emmalyn. I don't' know how or why yet, but I think we will soon."
"I hope so."
Emma sounded so small at that moment Ruby's heart broke.
"Well hello dearies. That sure didn't take long."
"Unlike you, Blue doesn't beat around the bush."
"So she told you the true legend of the werewolf."
"Yes she told us. She also told us their names and..."
"Wait, Blue knows their names." Gold interrupted.
"Yes, why does it matter?"
At this point Gold sounded a little panicky. "Ok for once in my Dark One life I'm going to be an actual human being and be truthful because there is a serious threat coming."
"What are you talking about?" Emma asked. She sounded a lot weaker then Ruby was ok with."
"So you know about the siege right?" Gold asked in a rush.
"Only that Emmalyn was born during it." Ruby confirmed.
"The siege was from the one who created the Dark One. He successfully destroyed Emmalyn's parents. He thought Emmalyn was dead, but when Emmalyn and Rojo became werewolves he knew something was wrong. He felt the magic and because he wanted to be the most powerful in the land he had to see what the magic was. When he found Emmalyn he felt the suppressed magic in her and knew what her family line was capable of. However, before he could do anything Rojo burst through the trees and bit him in the neck. As you can guess he didn't like it all that much. Right when he was about to kill Rojo Emmalyn stood in front of her and, somehow, protected them both from the curse. Neither of them knew how Emmalyn was able to do that, but before either of them could question it Emmalyn and Rojo disappeared never to be seen again."
"If any of that is true then what about their kids that Blue said they had and how did others become werewolves?"
"They never had children. As for other werewolves; when Emmalyn protected Rojo she also, somehow, projected an ability that turned all who wanted and loved wolves to become a werewolf."
"How exactly is one person stronger then the person who created you?" Emma asked with a yawn.
"I would also like to know how you know all of this." Ruby asked.
"Whenever someone becomes the Dark One he, not only gets magic, but knowledge also gets passed down. So I have everything that my 'predecessors' know. As for how Emmalyn was able to stop him. The only thing I can think of is true love. As there is a Dark One I think that there is a Light One and Emmalyn became the first. I think because she saved her love knowing that she would die she became the ultimate true love."
"Makes since, but what does that have to do with me and Emma. Blue also said that Emmalyn's family line continued and that Emma is of that line, but you said that Emmalyn and Rojo never had any children."
"I'm confused." Emma mumbled. She was about to pass out, but she wanted to hear what was happening to her.
"What if I told you that Emmalyn had a child before she met Rojo?"
"I would say..." Ruby thought for a minute, "I would say that Emma and Emmalyn are connected more than just extremely distant relations aren't they?"
"Perceptive aren't you and yes they are, but I'll get to that later. Emmalyn had a child in her late teens, the father abandoned her. She couldn't take care of a child so she gave him to a friend of hers."
"A friend, not an enemy?"
"Emmalyn worked in a lot of places and one woman had as tough a life as she did. Regine could never have children so when Emmalyn knocked on her door one day she gladly accepted being to boy's mother. The child grew up knowing the truth about his birth and thought Emmalyn as more as a cool sister. Emmalyn was grateful to Regine and she would send money whenever she could. When Emmalyn disappeared her child could never find her and didn't know what happened to her until he was 11 and a fairy showed up to tell him. The child grew up taking over his grandparents thrown and he and Regine lived a good long life. But no one knew what happened to Emmalyn and Rojo and all feared what would happen when 'he' came back. As time went on everyone forgot and only the Dark One knew the truth. Well, all accept Emma's family fairy apparently."
"You answered all, but one question. What does this all have to do with Emma and me?" Ruby was getting a little impatient.
"My 'creator' was never able to find Emmalyn and Rojo and even I don't know what happened to him. When you showed up with Emma and said she made herself into a werewolf I knew it was only time before all this came to light. From what 'he' was able to ascertain Emmalyn and Rojo somehow became souls. Of course it's hard to find souls when you can't even see them. What I think happened is that Emmalyn pretty much reincarnated them into you two. 'He' was never one that liked to lose so he created a failsafe into the Dark One. When the Light One shows her magic then he will take over the Dark One's body and re-start the siege."
"So what you're telling me is that Emma is Emmalyn and I'm Rojo?"
"Yes."
"Then if Emma is so powerful what do I have anything to do with it?"
"You're the source of her magic. You are the only one that can make Emma into the Light One."
"So we're all safe until I unlock Emma's hidden magic."
"Yes and no. We are safe, but it's only a matter of time before Emma becomes the Light One. Her becoming a werewolf was just the beginning."
"So what do we do in the meantime?"
Gold sighed. "That is all up to Emma. She has to embrace her wolf and her magic in order for her to be back to normal. At that point I would suggest her practicing magic so she will be ready because he will come and everyone is going to die if she can't stop it."
Ruby gulped. She looked over at her sleeping girlfriend and pulled her close. "Alright, what do I have to do?"
