Besides young Arthur, Queen Regent Leah of Breton had another sibling: a sister named Morgan. A beautiful woman, she had caught the eyes and attempted courtships and many of the nobles of the realm.

But beyond this grace, lay a dark secret. For on the eve of the birth, a fairy snuck into the young Morgan's room and made off with the infant in the night. And in its place was a fairy child (barely more than a few days old herself) was placed. The unknowing royals raised this fairy as one of their own, unaware that the real child had been snatched away in the night.

For the first couple of years, Morgan was a devoted and pious princess. But one day, which walking along the garden, she heard a noise and turned around to find a shadow manifesting into the form of a tall blonde woman.

The woman introduced herself as Maleficent, one of the most dreaded magical beings in the kingdom. And she explained to the young girl her true origins: how she was really a fairy placed in the royal household when she was an infant.

From then on, Morgan played the part of a proper courtly lady, but, in private, began mastering the magical arts, under the tutelage of Maleficent.

In a few more years, Morgan was betrothed to Urien, one of Breton's highest nobles. Though he did not treat her unkindly, Morgan was not looking forward to the marriage. She felt she deserved someone with more passion.

After the attempt on the prince's life, Henry ordered that there be a round-the-clock guard stationed around William's room. He was determined not to lose his son after just getting him back.

William was shaken by the murder attempt. He was sitting in bed, trying to fall asleep, when suddenly Rumple appeared in the room.

'Papa!' William yelped.

Hearing this, the curious guards opened the door. Rumple casted a spell to make them return to their posts and forget that they saw him.

With that out of the way, William jumped out of bed and ran to hug Rumple. Rumple eagerly returned the hug, gushing about how relieved her was that the boy was alright.

Rumple assured William that he was going to make sure none of the fiendish nobles of the realm would try to hurt him again. Then, he advised him to be wary of Regina (this confused William, though a stranger to him, his twin did not strike him as being dangerous).

His message delivered, Rumple poofed out of the room, leaving William to have a good night's sleep, now aware he was being watched over.
