Grey Areas- A Once Upon A Time FanFiction

by MonriaTitans

The Dark is not the only path for thee. You can be of the Dawn, if you choose to be. Magic is magic. Whether or not it is light or dark depends on the person. But, seeing as how it has been explained how the Dark One came to be in later seasons of Once Upon A Time, I shall be discontinuing this fanfiction. I shall be writing another, however, named Untold Foundations. :D

10. The Trick

Chapter Ten

Once in Merlin's study, Mim walks to the desk and opens the drawer the key to free the Author once resided in. She lifts a necklace, a completed Yin and Yang, from inside and dons it. The second it is clasped, it begins to shrink until it becomes a choker.

"Your necklace is glowing!" Elsa exclaims. "How do you feel?"

"Much better!" Mim exhales as she moves to Elsa's side. "How are you handling your task?"

"I am having... issues." Elsa sighs, cringing as she looks at the urn on the desk.

"Understandable." Mim laments, deciding not to push, as she looks at Lily. "Eyeing the magic quill, I see."

"Is that the note you were talking about?"

"Why, yes it is."

"You make it a habit to fix peoples' messes?"

"Eh." -Mim shrugs- "I look at it as 'assisting the needy'." -the quill collapses- "Ah! Perfect!"

"And you're sure your plan will work?" Maleficent chides as Mim scans the page.

"Which one?" Mim cackles. "The 'fooling Blue with the note'; the 'trap glyph'; the 'separation glyph'..."

"The plan to help Lily."

"Ah." -Mim folds the note into a letter- "Elsa," -glass appears on the back wall- "would you be so kind as to ask Mirror for the chest, please?"

"Sure."

"To answer your question," Mim sighs as she presses a Yin and Yang seal onto the envelope; Elsa walking through the glass, "I have no doubt in my mind." -she glances up at Lily before looking back at the glass- "The only reason why it would go wrong is people."

"Will." Lily blurts.

"If he doesn't get the pendent, the plan will be set back." Mim elaborates, "But I have faith in his abilities." -she taps the note on the palm of her hand- "While Elsa delivers the note and chest, we shall be meeting up with him."

"Which is where I come in." Maleficent confirms.

"Exactly." Mim concludes, grinning mischievously.

"Elsa?" David asks after she appears in a puff of light blue smoke. "Wow! Where did you learn to do that?"

"Mim taught me!"

"Hey!" Snow exclaims, embracing Elsa after she sets the chest on the sidewalk. "You look great!"

"Thank you!" Elsa responds, embracing David. "You should see what Mim is wearing!"

"About time you got here." Regina nags, picking up the chest. "Where's the note?" -she struggles holding it- "What else is in here?"

"The note is in the chest." Elsa answers, opening the chest and handing the note to Snow. "She also added the items you would need for the glyphs." -Snow quickly tears the Yin and Yang seal and Elsa closes the chest- "Were you waiting long?"

"Not really." Robin consoles, quickly.

"How's Anna?" David inquires.

"Concerned about Emma, so is Kristoff."

"Can we get into the church, now?" Killian nags, speed walking in that direction. "I'm tired of waiting on this curb!"

"Me, too." Regina agrees, struggling to follow.

"Thank you, Elsa." David says, taking the chest from Regina. "We'll catch up later."

"Good luck!" Elsa calls after them before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
