So someone asked where Henry would get a tear, I thought it would be quite obvious. Like mother, like son. Anyway, R&R, I don't own once
Outside the Stables
"Alright Henry, you can do this, you just gotta break her heart." Henry said to himself, willing to do whatever it takes to save Merlin.
"Why would you wanna do that, dearie?" Rumplestandin said, appearing suddenly.
"So I can free Merlin, wait, you already knew that. You're in my head. Anyway, I'm trying to get you out of me."
"Well wait just a minute dearie, Merlin can't help you like I can. Not to mention, what happened to all the bonding we were doing."
"I can always do that with my real grandpa."
"But how I you going to wake him up, you would need my help for that. Also, to free Merlin you have to break your own heart. Do you really want to do that?"
"Well, no I don't want to. But I have to, for the good of everyone."
"Oh don't give me that 'for the good of everybody' nonsense. What should take priority is you, so the question is, what do you want. You want your father back? You want both of your mothers to be happy? You want to spend the rest of your life with her?" pointing at the barn, "I can help you with all of that."
"Wait, how can you bring my dad back to life? I thought the rule was 'dead is dead' you yourself said that."
"All rules were made to be broken dearie. We just need the blood of someone who's been to Hell and back, and a portal, which, coincidentally, there happens to be one in Storybrooke." As he said that, something in Henry changed. He snapped.
"How would I get to Storybrooke? I can't crush the heart of the thing I love most for the curse, I won't kill either of my moms, or Violet."
"Well there's always a loophole dearie, all the past Dark Ones are inside of you dear Henry, so if we have someone one of them loved, you could cast the curse."
"Well who would still be alive? You were the Dark One for about 200 years, I doubt anyone the others loved is still alive."
"Merlin dearie. If you must free him, at least let it be for the right cause."
"But whose heart am I going to break?"
"Well I'm afraid it still has to be hers dearie, though you could always wipe her memory of it afterwards"
"Well alright, what do you want in return?"
"Why do you assume I want something out of it?"
"Dark Ones never do anything without getting something out of it."
"Clever Boy, you're right. In exchange, I just ask that all past Dark Ones be revived as well." Henry pondered this for a little, but to get his dad back, and secure his moms' happiness, he would do anything.
"You've got yourself a deal, now how do I perform a memory spell?"
"Ah, so you're gonna break her heart now. Alright then, oh I'm so proud of you."
Mr. Gold's Pawnshop
"Regina, does Henry seem different to you lately?" Emma confided to Regina while Belle, Hook, and Robin looked for anything that could help them free Merlin.
"Well, nothing that I wouldn't expect from being the Dark One, except for the part where he seemed so certain he could get a tear of lost love. Where would he get one of those?" Regina said, standing over Rumple.
"It's just, I've been getting this weird feeling around him lately. Sorta like when he was possessed by Pan. Maybe I'm just paranoid."
"No, I've been getting that feeling too, somethings different about him. And all that spinning, I haven't seen any gold come out of it yet, but I think it might just be a matter of time. I don't trust that voice he says is 'guiding' him"
"I think we need to talk to him."
"I'm just not sure whether or not he'll listen anymore"
