I do not own Once Upon a Time.
Victory!
The hourglass finally ran out without Emma knowing. Elsa was hugging her so tight and the cheers were deafening. They had won, the war was over, the Evil Queen was defeated.
Emma suddenly remembered her promise and fled the room. Killian was still there, waiting for her. She entered the bedchamber and was instantly at his side. She pressed her lips to his and a pulse of magic spread through the room. His eyes opened.
"It worked."
"Of course, it did. Go and wake your sister."
Killian nodded, feeling confident now. She stood up and went to Tara. He gently placed a kiss on her forehead.
Another pulse of magic swept over them.
Tara's identical eyes met her brother's. And she was speechless.
"Good to see you too, Tara." He said. "We won the war."
"Killian…" She whispered and hugged him. "Thank you."
The Blue Fairy flew in. "There's no show of the Evil Queen, all the portals have disappeared, and our soldiers are coming home."
"My mother?" Emma asked.
"Yes, the Queen is with them. As is Robin Hood." The fairy directed her last statement to Tara, who looked relived.
"We should go to the stables. I need to congratulate the team and thank a certain dragon." Killian said.
"Of course." Emma lifted her hand to use her magic but both Killian and Tara stopped her.
"Walking is fine." Tara said.
"Fine."
The walk was quick and actually feeling fresh air again after being in the Netherworld felt so good.
The stables were a place of celebration. Even the dragons realized something good had happened. Everyone from the war room had descended there also.
Killian exchanged hugs and handshakes with his fellow Riders. Tara stood at a distance, observing. She was a part of this celebration, but at the same time, wasn't.
It wouldn't be a true happy ending until Robin was back with her and safe.
"Miss me?" came a strong voice behind her. Tara whirled around and threw herself into Robin's arms.
She wanted this moment to last forever.
Tara looked around, if Robin was back then so must the Queen.
And sure enough, Queen Snow White was hugging her husband and her children.
Across the crowded stables, Tara locked eyes with the king and exchanged a nod.
And now everything was right in world.
