"So you think that just because you can get me dragon blood I'll help you" Merlin asked not as a question as they all set at the round table.
"I'm not asking you to help me... I'm asking you to help them" Regina said as she looked over at David and Killian who where sitting opposite her. "I'll still get you the blood regardless" Regina then added as she turned back to look the middle aged man in the eye's letting him know that she was telling the truth.
"And may I know who this dragon Is?" Merlin asked the dark haired queen. "I've been around a long time your majesty, and getting close enough to a dragon Is near impossible".
"Well I kind off happen to be a friend off one, Well... Sort off" Regina simply said as she remembered her history with said dragon.
"And I'm just meant to believe you?" The Wizard questioned then asked "Who is it?"
"Maleficent"
Merlin laughed "Maleficent!... Really, she's even worse than the white dragon".
"Merlin" Charming called the wizard gaining his attention "You know me, you know my wife, hell you know everyone and their story's and you also know that Snow White and Prince Charming are good people, so" David glanced at Regina then back to Merlin then said "If you do not believe Regina, then believe me she know's Maleficent" David paused for a few second's wiping at a tear that was about to drop from his eyelash's "Will you please save my daughter?" David begged as a few more tear's fell.
"I would like to talk to the quenn for a few moment's... Alone" Merlin just said not answering the prince's plea as he stared at Regina.
Everybody rose from their seat's to leave the room except Robin, he stayed behind.
"I think I said 'Alone' thief" Merlin said as his gaze was still on Regina.
"Robin It okay, you can go"
"Regina he just tried to kill you, and now you want me too leave you alone with him" Robin asked not as a question.
"I'll be fine, trust me It'll be okay" Regina spoke softly to her love reassuring him that she'll be fine, because beside's if Merlin wanted to kill her he wouldn't need to be alone, he could pretty much do so with a flick off his hand before anyone could stop him and well... Regina knew that.
Robin hesitated for a moment then rose to leave with the other's so his love and the sorcerer could 'Talk'.
"Are you going to help us?" Regina simply asked the wizard as soon as the other's left the room.
"Tell me your Majesty, when the darkness left my Apprentice -"
"How do you know about that?" Regina cut in.
"I know a lot" The wizard just answered then Merlin asked again "When the darkness left my Apprentice body, tell me why do you think it went straight for you?"
"Because off weakness, it's more powerful than I am" Regina simply answered.
"Weakness" Merlin giggled "Your right" The wizard moved closer to the queen "Snow, Charming, The Pirate, Robin Hood, The Saviour and then their's you... The most powerful sorceress in all the realm's, and you think it just choose you, because off weakness" Merlin raised a brow at the queen.
"What are you getting at?" Regina wanted to know what the wizard was on about.
"Regina the reason why the darkness went after my Apprentice is because it felt that he was it's biggest threat".
"So why did it attack me?" Regina asked the wizard.
"Because" Merlin paused for a moment then quickly continued after clearing his throat "After it was pulled from my Apprentice's soul, you where it's next biggest threat".
"How?" Regina was confused.
"You can master light and dark magic".
"Then why transfer to Emma, if I was it's biggest threat?" Regina asked the wizard.
"Because she showed the darkness that she had it's dagger, and it has to follow order's" Merlin simply explained.
"So what your saying is that if Emma hadn't shown the dagger... I'd be dead" Tear's formed in the queen's eye's.
"Your not hearing what I'm saying at all are you?" The wizard laughed.
"What are you saying?" Regina was getting annoyed with the wizard.
"Your Majesty" Merlin placed a hand on the queen's then spoke again "I can not defeat the darkness".
"What!? Then who can?" Regina raised her voice in question.
"Why only you your majesty" The Sorcerer just answered.
"Me" Regina was skeptic and Merlin just nodded so Regina continued "When the darkness surrounded me... It - It was like it was pulling my soul from my body, so please tell me how - How the hell am I meant to defeat it?" Regina was angry and she really wanted to know what she could do to stop it.
"Tell me Regina" Merlin spoke "When did you first gain light magic?"
"When I was fighting my sister" Regina answered.
"Yes Regina, but the exact moment... When was it?" Merlin asked a question that he already knew the answer to.
"Robin - " Regina cleared her throat then started again "When Robin held my heart in his hand's, I felt the love that he had for me even though my heart wasn't in my body". Regina said as she started to remember people in Camelot mentioning Robin and something about the wall off the profit's.
"And you gained light magic... Need I say more" The wizard asked as a non question.
"What is it that I have to do?" Regina asked the wizard.
"I think you already know the answer to that your majesty" Merlin answered the queen.
"Will she survive?" Regina asked another question.
"Well that depend's" Merlin just said.
"Depend's on what?" Regina wanted to know.
Emma was now Regina's friend and the last thing that she wanted to do was be at fault over the death.
"If she is simply strong enough" Merlin simply answered.

"Henry your dinner's ready" Mary Margaret called upstairs to the boy's room.
"Be right down" Henry answered his grandmother.
"Henry" A voice called as he was half way down the stairs.
"Mom" Henry ran to his blonde haired mother giving her a hug. "Where have you been?" The young boy asked his mother.
"I can explain that later, but right now I need you to tell me where Regina hid the dagger" Emma asked her son.
"Regina took the dagger with her" Mary Margaret interrupted whilst still standing at the bottom off the stairs.
"I don't remember asking you anything" Emma simply replied to her mother with disdain.
"Mom - " Henry started.
"Where is it Henry?" Emma asked her son again.
"Mom took it with her" Henry simply answered.
"I can hear it calling me Henry" Emma was getting annoyed "NOW! tell me where it is" The new Dark One ordered her son in a raised voice, but felt that she couldn't use magic on him.
"I already - " The teenager started when the New Dark One interrupted.
"She gave it to you" It wasn't a question as she spoke to herself.
"Mom" Henry called for his mother's attention.
"Why would she give it to you" Emma asked no one speaking to herself again.
"MOM" Henry called a bit louder.
"Give me the dagger Henry" His mother ordered holding her hand out for the weapon.
"No" Henry just said.
"Henry" Emma was annoyed as she moved closer to her son.
"You can't hurt me" Henry simply said not backing down from his mother.
"Your right I can't... But I can hurt her" Emma simply said as she reached her hand out and her mother (Mary Margaret) started choking.
"Mom stop" Henry tried to plead.
"Give me the dagger Henry".
"No"
"Then my mother dies" Emma smiled an evil smile that Henry has not seen in a long time. (Well since Regina was the 'Evil Queen')
"Dark One... I command you to stop" Henry ordered as he pulled the dagger from his jacket.
"I knew you had it" Emma simply said as she released her hold over her mother. "Give me the dagger" She asked once more.
"Why don't we take this outside Henry" An all to familiar voice came from behind the young teenager.
"Mom" Henry shouted as he ran to his dark haired mother giving her a big hug "I knew you'd come back to me" Henry cried into his mother's chest.
"Enough off this" Emma yelled "Give me my dagger" The blonde ordered again.
"I kept it safe mom" Henry just said as he handed the dagger to Regina and ignored his other mother's order.
"I knew you would my little prince" Regina said as she kissed her son on the head then turned to the New Dark One and spoke to her "Well Miss Swan... Let's take this outside shall we".
"Just cause you have my dagger" Emma spoke as she followed the queen out to main street where the other three heroes and Merlin where waiting "Doesn't mean you can defeat me" Emma continued "The only way Regina is to become the 'Dark One' yourself, and tell me Regina are you willing to become pure darkness?"
"Emma" Regina spoke in a soft voice as she walked up close to the Ex Saviour whispering into the blonde's ear "To extract the darkness, I don't have to kill you".
"Wh - " Emma started as she then started to gasp for breath and she looked down and seen that the dagger was sticking out from her side still with Regina holding onto it, then the 'New Saviour' pulled the dagger from the 'Dark One's' side.
"Regina" Was all she could say as the pain shot through the blonde's body.
"I'm sorry Emma" Regina cried into the blonde's ear "I hope you survive this" She then added as the blonde fell to the ground and then the darkness left the blonde's body and circled the group that was standing on main street by the clock tower.
"You ready for this your Majesty?" Merlin asked the dark haired queen.
"How do you know it's coming for me?" The queen was confused.
"I'm not who it fear's" The wizard simply answered. "Show it the dagger and it'll surround you... Then you know what you have to do" Merlin then said as he raised his voice so the queen could hear him over the scream's off the many soul's that the darkness processed over the many year's it has been alive.
Regina glanced at Robin and at his nod Regina raised the dagger in the air and the darkness immediately surrounded her.
