I do not own Once Upon a Time.


They were ready, they were finally ready. The large group was gathered at the dock, overlooking the currently empty bay. If they were successful, it wouldn't be empty much longer. Emma, Regina and Emma were going over last minute details with Belle. Tim was just watching the whole ordeal and was waiting to help if needed.

There were even non magical people here. Mary Margaret and David wanted to watch their daughter do what she did best, help people. Killian and Henry were there for the same reasons. Neal watched his wife with their eldest daughter, his other children weren't ready for this responsibility, maybe one day. Maybe one day, all of his kids would make the world a better place.

Sophia stood between her mother and her godmother. She felt quite grown up, her younger sister hadn't been asked to help with this. Well, Wendy was not trained as much as Sophia was.

But she wasn't the only younger person there. Rosie was there with her parents. She had worn her parents down and was now taking magical lessons. Ivy smiled over at Sophia, this was their first brush with being heroes like their parents. Even Liam was there. That was the one magical person not many people saw coming.

Miles stood closer to the water, watching it, studying it. He would have to pinch himself to remind himself that this whole thing was actually happening. He was going to fulfill his mother's wish, well with the help of Sophia. She was amazing and talented and brilliant. Miles could not do this without her.

"Ready?" Amelia asked Miles. She smiled at him, assuring him that this would all work out. He nodded.

Bursts of magic, all different colors, shot out and landed on the water. It would connect to the rods that had been placed on Atlantis. The magic would generate power then rise.

Or that was how it was supposed to happen.

Sophia blew a piece of hair out of her face. Her magic was weakening a tiny bit. She was not used to using this much at once. Suddenly someone's hand joined hers. Sophia looked to her left and saw her little sister. Wendy grinned and added her own power.

Finally, there was movement on the water, like something trying to breaking through. Sophia focused everything she possessed and it was her last ditch effort that brought a giant beautiful island break the surface. The lost city of Atlantis was now in the sunlight and in the harbor of Storybrooke, Maine.

Miles broke into a cheer, one that everyone joined in with. Before Sophia could join in, she was lifted into the air by Miles. Tight arms around her waist and the breath was taken out of her lungs.

And the perfect moment for a…

"Thank you so much Sophia." He whispered in her ear after he put her back on the ground.

"Miles, your mom is stepping off the island and wants to see you." Emma was at his side. Amelia was smiling but there was something behind her eyes.

Miles nodded and held Sophia's hand as he walked to the edge. He saw his mother and father heading to the dock.

It would be the first time in many years that Milo had stepped on dry land. It must have been an experience for him. Besides him was his wife, looking around at the new land.

Queen Kida was a sight, she was gorgeous, strong and proud. She made being royal look like a walk in the park.

Regina, as the mayor of Storybrooke, stepped forward for the official welcome.

Then Sophia was able to meet Queen Kida and Milo. She wasn't sure if she had to curtsy or something. She lived with royalty, she herself was nobility, why was she nervous?

Then there was meeting Miles' siblings. The thirteen-year-olds Athena and Calliope and ten-year-old Orion stepped up, fully ready to explore the new realm.


YAY, success!
