As we enter the finale, I would like to taking a moment and say "Thank You" for your continuous support.

To Celticank:

I'd been waiting for someone to confront Henry about his "supposed "destiny" for quite sometime and I'm just glad that I got the opportunity to fit it in. As for Gold killing him, I'd say "Rumple's stuck between a rock and a hard spot": If he did decide to kill Henry, he would be also destroying the only living, breathing piece of Baelfire left...

Thankfully the whole kidnapping of Zelena scheme didn't drag itself out.
Pan and Gold abducting her was merely a way to get Hades to tear up the contract concerning Belle's pup.

Peter actually thought that he could obtain a living beating human heart to return to the living world.

But as luck would have it Rumple once again double crossed his "father". Placing a "Wideskin Highglammer" filled with water from the River of Souls into his chest.

Thus making Peter Pan truly lost forever.

At the same time Persephone received word that her mother and father had finally done true loves kiss which restarted Hades "frozen" heart. And more importantly there was news of a portal leaving the Underworld headed to Storybrooke.

So she headed to the clock tower where it would open, leaving the "heroes "to clean up their own mess.

Upon arrival she met her parents waiting with Sissy in her mother's arms.

Without overbearing Robin Hood or Regina? That's a first! - She thought.

"Persephone, Thank Gods you made it in time!" exclaimed Zelena.

She looked at Hades,

"Father, what if I can't cross?"

"Don't worry about that, when my heart restarted thanks to your mother. It "maxed" out my power. I can protect you up there."

"What – what is he talking about?" asked her mother in confusion.

Persephone sighed, knowing it was time to come clean:

"Before coming down here I was bitten, and Father has been helping me slow down the poison."

"I'll see what I can do too" Zelena promised her daughter.

Eventually it was decided that they couldn't wait any longer for the heroes. So when the portal opened the reunited family entered Storybrooke together…

Sadly, happiness doesn't last.

Instead it was replaced by an ongoing addiction for Power... At least as far as father Hades was concerned.

The God of the Dead had a lot more in common with the Dark magical imp and his wolf companion.

(Now while Belle wasn't power hungry, she was starting to embody more of her animalistic nature. Such as the need to hunt and kill for fresh meat. In fact, she asked her dark one to conjure a deer for her to prey on in the woods of Storybrooke. It was a process but Persephone believed she was starting to finally understand.)

Hades had come back to the world of the living with a very powerful weapon, The Olympian Crystal.
Once fully charged by Hades now that his heart beat. It could end anyone or anything, even a god.

Both Regina, Robin and Emma tried to intervene and get Baby Hood back from them:

While Hades went to investigate the commotion, started by our favorite blond. Robin and Regina tried to get in and retrieve the baby.

But they were caught,

As Persephone watched her mother and aunt go back and forth talking about her father's true intentions. Hades reappeared and admitted what Regina had been trying to reveal.

Then it got dangerous,

With the Olympian Crystal at full power.

Hades attempted to kill Regina but Robin got in the way and sadly perished once it struck him. Leaving his love in distraught and disbelief.

But still she tried to convince her older sister about true love, devotion and sacrifice.

Suddenly to everyone surprise Zelena stabbed Hades with the Crystal destroying him. Persephone started to feel herself growing weak.

Glancing down, she found the bite was back….

Epilogue


"Are you sure?" Zelena asked her daughter.

"Yes, I am. It's the only way Mother."

"After all these years apart, searching for you. And now that I've finally found you…you're leaving again."

The girl sighed,

"I know but it isn't forever, Camp Half Blood is the one place I will be safe until I find a vipers that bit me were from Agrabah. It's only my status as a demigod that has kept me alive.

Beside it will be good for me to be around others like me and also Regina needs your support."

"You're right, my little sweet pea." Zelena smiled down at her child with threatening tears in her eyes. Leaning forward, she kissed her forehead.

"Just promise you will return to me."

"I promise…."

Now, I can understand if some of you are disappointed about me not featuring "The Heroes". Like I've done in the past, but in this tale: They were meant to take on more of a supporting role. The main focus has always been about Persephone's relationship with her parents.
