If I missed any, let me know and I will add to the face claims. :)

Special Note: I made a mistake in the last chapter, but corrected it now. I stated that Moloch was a goat-like demon and Moloch is actually depicted as an owl. Baphomet is the goat demon and I mixed those up. It is fixed now though. :)

On another special note: I hope everyone had a good Christmas or holidays and I hope everyone has a good New Year too! This is the last chapter of FYA for 2020. See you in 2021!

Here are individual responses to reviews:

Ghostwriter: Yeah, Goldie had it hard, but she could have made better choices and overcome her hardships. Glad you're enjoying. :)

Jennifer Baratta: Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Carpathian Princess: Thanks, glad you like it!

Number Ten: Yeah, I'm glad Mr. Boots did the right thing and it's sad that he was murdered. Glad you like the nod to Antonio Banderas too. Yep, Le Fou is going to prison and hopefully, he will give up Goldie. Glad you like the Frozen 2 stuff. I can't use most of the movie, cause it just doesn't work here, but decided that I could use some of it and make some twists. Yep, something is upset that Elsa and Anna's grandfather is alive and free. Yep, Goldie is way gone and out for blood now. Glad you're still enjoying. :)

Grace5231973: Yep, Goldie has lost it for sure! Yeah, it's sad that Nora didn't get a chance really. Glad you like the Frozen 2 elements. I wanted to use some of it, but knew I'd have to rework a lot of things to make it work, so glad you like it so far. :)

AnonSnowing: Happy New Year to you too! Glad you like the advice I gave Zariah. Don't know if it will help, but that was what I have. Hope you can use it too. Yeah, Hell Island is more appropriate. Snow was definitely born to be a mom. She loves babies. Yep, she'll be fine surrounded by all these good people. Yeah, Goldie is lucky Regina isn't her old self or she'd be ash right now. Yeah, no serious person actually believes Summer did this. Yep, now Snowing is on the warpath. Goldie might not be so glad she poked this bear in the end. Yep, Goldie has evolved into a true villain and she's itching to make trouble. Yeah, of course Runeard is going to be Blue's fault. She's the worst. Gone and still causing problems. Yep, their powers are about to go haywire. Glad you like this surprise though. Yep, Snowing rose above all their hardships, because they are better and no one gets away with messing with their kids. Yeah, Snow and Summer spent a little time together, while David was working. Yep, Goldie just went off the deep end. Yep, now that Mr. Boots is dead, they're going to make all the needed connections. Snow is definitely in potential danger if Goldie keeps slipping down this slippery slope. Thanks, glad you enjoyed it so much. :)

Sexystarwarslover: Aw, thanks...so glad I can still surprise you after so many chapters. Glad you like the casting too! I hope your Christmas and New Year's was good. Mine was too. Yeah, a long overdue talk for Natalie and Xander. Yeah, Snow will help her navigate all of this. She and the baby will be fine with so much family around them. Yep, Daddy Charming and Mama Snow are in beast mode now. Goldie might be sorry she went against them later on. Yeah, leave it to Emma and her quips. Goldie is definitely out of control now. But at least they'll be able to clear Summer pretty easily. So many villains and so much trouble afoot! Glad you're enjoying! :)

Finding You Always

Chapter 228: Aggressive Negotiations

Emma walked into the interrogation room with a soda in hand, while her father watched from the window, arms crossed, and a bit of a glare. This guy was sleeping with underage young men for money, so she knew there was no way he wasn't going to get hard time. Her father and she, for that matter, had zero tolerance for this kind of thing. Le Fou was lucky the young men were teens, for she knew if they had been children, her father would have put life on the table and advocated to put him in general population, which meant Le Fou wouldn't have made it to his first dinner.

Since it was teens, which still infuriated them both, they were going to make sure hard time was done by him. But in exchange for talking, they were going to offer to let him do his time in with the restricted population, which offered more protection. Honestly though, even then, people like Le Fou ended up having accidents even in restricted population. Either way, she needed him to talk and it was better if he talked to her, because she knew if her father came in to question him, he was in no mood to be merciful. The combination of Summer being accused of murder, Goldie's tirade against their mother, and Le Fou's disgusting acts, Le Fou was lucky he was facing her instead.

She put the soda down in front of him and sat down in the chair across from him.

"Okay...so I'm not going to waste time and I'm going to level with you. My father wants to charge you with first degree assault of a minor and soliciting underage prostitutes and throw you to the wolves in general population, which means you'll be dead by lunchtime tomorrow," she said. Le Fou turned white as a sheet.

"It...it wasn't like that! They...they were willing partners!" Le Fou insisted.

"No...they were kids selling their bodies to creeps like you for money. That's a crime and if he's pissed enough, he'll tack on the pedophilia charge and trust me, my Dad wants to rip your head off right about now," Emma replied.

"Unless…" she continued.

"Unless?" Le Fou asked.

"Unless you give us the information on our real target," Emma replied.

"If you're looking to bust other...solicitors, I can name them all for the right deal. But it has to be good...these people are the worst," Le Fou said.

"I'm actually interested in that list, but there's another target that takes priority," Emma replied.

"Who is that?" he asked.

"Your former co-star," Emma replied.

"Goldie?" he asked.

"The one and only. Give her up and my dad will talk to the judge. You'll get twenty years with the possibility of parole in ten. And he'll make sure you're in protective custody," she offered.

"Twenty years! And I have to serve at least ten of it!? That's not a deal!" Le Fou cried and then nearly jumped out of his skin, as David pounded on the window from outside. Le Fou couldn't see him, so Emma painted the picture for him.

"Yeah...it is a deal, unless you want him coming in here. His little peanut is being accused of murder here by your former and disgraced co-host, because she has some kind of grudge against the love of his life and you might be the one that can clear all this up," Emma said.

"Oh...and you're a pedophile, so he wants your guts on a stick or perhaps his sword, rather," she added. Le Fou glared at her.

"I'm not a pedophile!" he growled.

"Oh you will be in the Storybrooke Mirror in the morning edition and probably on your own show when they find out you were arrested," she said.

"Look...you're right, Goldie hates your mother, but it's not like anyone actually believes your little sister killed anyone. I mean, you said the evidence is circumstantial at best," Le Fou reasoned.

"True...but if you know anything about that evidence pointing at her though, then that means you're an accomplice. An accomplice to murder, if Goldie turns out to be Nora's real killer. That on top of the charges you're already facing...that's life," Emma said, knowing she had him in the corner. Le Fou began to panic.

"I...I want a lawyer," he said, as he let out a frightened yelp when David came into the room.

"I'm...I'm not talking to you!" he cried.

"You'll get your lawyer...cause you'll need it," David said.

"What...what do you mean?" he asked.

"Mr. Boots...your boss, has been murdered. I just got the call from my brother," David revealed, which was also news to Emma.

"What?!" Le Fou cried.

"You...you can't possibly think that I had something to do with that! I've been here!" he shouted.

"True...but Mr. Boots fired Goldie this afternoon and she's unhinged. Sounds like a pretty good reason for murder. If you know anything about what she's been up to...now is the time," David offered.

"Or lawyer up...and take your chances in court. But if I know Goldie...she'll throw you under the bus for kicks and giggles," he added, as he started to walk away.

"Wait!" Le Fou called and David smirked.

"Yes?" he asked.

"Goldie...she had me erase the tapes outside Nora's room the night she died," Le Fou replied.

"Why?" Emma questioned.

"Because they showed Goldie going into Nora's room around the time she fell from her window and then leaving," he confessed.

"Do you have the original footage?" she asked.

"I deleted it, but they might still be in the cloud or something," Le Fou replied.

"Do you think JJ's friend can find them?" David asked.

"Hopefully," Emma replied.

"I told you everything I know and basically implicated Goldie in the murder! I want a deal!" Le Fou cried.

"We'll make sure the judge knows about your help at your arraignment in the morning," David said, as he led him to the holding cell.

"For now...you should make that call to an attorney," he said, as he let him use the station phone.

"Hey Emma...my friend said the Inn's security cameras were hacked. It was child's play so you might want to have Granny hire someone to beef up the network," JJ called, as he sat at the desk.

"Wow...that was fast," she said.

"I told he was good. He sent these to me and said there was definitely a breach from the television studio itself," JJ said, as he pulled up the file.

"That matches Le Fou's story that he altered the security tapes from the Inn," Emma said.

"Yep and my friend found the original version floating around in the cloud. They were deleted, but it's the Internet so nothing's ever really gone," JJ said, as he pulled up the footage for Emma and her father.

"There she is…" Emma said, as they saw Goldie go into Nora's room with her.

"She used her," JJ said bitterly and Emma put her hand on his shoulder.

"I'm really sorry...but we will get this crazy bitch," Emma assured him. A few moments passed on the tape and they saw Goldie hurrying out of the room.

"That time stamp matches the moment that Nora was heard screaming and seen falling from her window," David said, as Emma paused the tape.

"We've got a double murder on our hands," Emma replied, as James and Xander entered the station.

"Did you find her?" David asked.

"We found her car abandoned at the Harbor," James replied.

"Which means she probably fled to Pleasure Island," Xander added.

"Then we need to go there and extract her," David said.

"Whoa...I think it's best if we formulate a plan, before we go in. We all know how unpredictable that place is and how unreliable magic is there," Xander replied.

"Then what do you suggest?" David asked.

"I know it best...I'll go, undercover, of course. A quick glamour spell is all I need," Xander replied.

"Okay...be careful," David said. Xander nodded and left. He would first pick up a glamour spell from Gold and then head to Pleasure Island in an undercover mission. David sighed.

"I'll finish processing Le Fou," David said.

"I'll put out the BOLO for Goldie," James said, as he went to his computer.

"Well…I'm going to head home since we're waiting on Gramps to get us an inside picture of where she might be on Pleasure Island," Emma said.

"Sounds good...I'll be going soon too. Your mom will be very anxious to know that Summer is in the clear," David replied, as he hugged her and cradled her head.

"Night Dad," she said.

"Night Em...kiss Hope for me," he called, as she grabbed her coat and left. He and James finished up for the night too and Leroy arrived for the night shift, leaving him with the watch of Le Fou in the holding cell.


"And if you're just joining us, we're discussing a murder of one of our own. That's right, aspiring independent reporter, Nora Bradley, was murdered in that place. The mysterious Storybrooke. She managed to find her way into the mystical world where fairy tales are alive and real. But it appears that things are not so magical at the moment. We're hearing that it might have been none other than Snow White's daughter that ended Nora Bradley's life, leading us to conclude that these people...these Charmings are just as dangerous as we have been predicting for years! They brought a near apocalypse on our country in Seattle years ago and ever since, our worlds continue to bleed together in very unpleasant ways. When will this end? Why does this family get to walk free when they are so obviously dangerous…" Eva looked up, as the broadcast cut off and saw her husband there, having pressed the pause button on her phone.

"Eva…" he said, with slight frustration.

"I know...I couldn't help it. After Goldie said that she had a colleague that released her story to the public, you know, out there...I had to see how bad it was," she replied.

"Those podcasts are always bad though," he reminded her.

"Except that it's not just the podcasts this time and I think I know who Goldie's colleague is," Eva replied, as she presented him with a morning edition of the New York Times.

"Fairy Tale Murder?" he said, reading the headline.

"It's basically Goldie's story in article form and look at the byline," she replied. He sighed.

"Elias Grimm…" he stated.

"We need to stop him," Eva said.

"How?" Paul asked.

"I don't know...but maybe we should talk to Aesop. He knows his family the best and there's a reason that Zeus didn't want his family line involved in being the author. This narrative is deceitful," Eva said.

"And I get that, love...but unfortunately, he has a right to publish whatever he wants and the newspaper does too," he said. She sat back, knowing he was right.

"Then we go to Henry. He's the real author and I think he should counter this. If they'll publish Grimm...then they'll publish Henry. He's a household name now," she said. He smiled and kissed her forehead.

"Fighting fire with fire...the Charming way. But can we please go back to bed for a while?" he asked. She nodded, as they joined hands and went back up into the loft to their bedroom.


Goldie walked into the bar and took a seat at the bar.

"You're all over the Internet. You made quite a splash. From reporter to double murder is quite a feat in such a short time," Grimm said, as he poured her a drink.

"Do I detect a hint of admiration in your voice?" she asked, as she took a large gulp of the drink.

"It certainly makes for a good story, though going all homicidal maniac was a bit too soon," he said.

"Well...it's not my fault that no one will believe that Snow White's precious daughter isn't capable of murder," she scoffed.

"And then Mr. Boots forced my hand. The question is...how do I get back on the air without returning to Storybrooke," she said. He smirked.

"Actually...I might have a solution for that. Finish your drink and follow me," he said, as he tossed his towel down.

"Spike...take over for me for a while," he ordered to one of his employees. Goldie finished her drink and followed him out.

"Where the hell are we going?" she asked and he pointed to the vast structure in the distance.

"Whoa...I don't remember there ever being a massive castle on Pleasure Island," she said.

"There wasn't...until a few days ago," he replied.

"Who lives there?" she asked. He smirked.

"The Evil Queen," he replied simply.

"Regina Mills?" she asked in confusion.

"Oh no...not that Evil Queen," he said, as he initiated a text. Seconds later, they were snapped up in a poof of magic and into the castle Throne room.

"The New Evil Queen," he announced, as Goldie looked to the Throne to find none other than Rodmilla Tremaine sitting upon it.


David quietly entered their darkened bed chambers and quietly undressed. It was about two in the morning and once he had his sleep pants on, he gently slipped into bed next to his wife.

"Mmm...hi," Snow murmured in a sleepy tone. He smiled.

"I was trying to not to wake you," he said.

"Mmm...we share a heart. I felt you coming, even in sleep, but honestly I was only half asleep," she said, as she cuddled against him and he took her in his arms, before kissing her head.

"Besides, you know I sleep best in your arms," she whispered.

"So...did you find anything?" she asked. He snorted.

"Oh yeah...but I didn't know if you wanted me to go into it now. It's a lot," he replied.

"Well, I do...so spill," she said, as she pecked him on the lips.

"Well, Goldie was fired early and then ran Mr. Boots down in the parking lot just a couple hours ago. We have her on video doing it," he replied.

"Oh my gosh...is he okay?" she asked.

"I'm afraid not...and we now know that she murdered Nora too. We got Le Fou to flip on her. He hacked the footage from the Inn and erased her from the security tapes. We got the real footage back though and it shows her going in and out of Nora's room at the time of her death," he replied.

"Why kill Nora?" Snow asked. He sighed.

"I hate to tell you this, but based on what we know, she probably did it for the sole purpose of trying to frame Summer," he replied.

"Because she hates me," Snow realized.

"She's unhinged, Snow...and that's not on you," he reminded her.

"I know," she affirmed.

"So...did you get her?" she asked. He winced.

"Dad and James found her car abandoned at the harbor," he replied.

"So Pleasure Island...out of our reach," she said.

"Maybe...but Dad is actually on his way there, undercover of course, to see what's going on. If they're building some sort of insurgency, then it's about time we're clued into it," David said.

"But they know magic is resistant there. Do you really think they would risk coming here where it's not?" she asked.

"I don't know. Jekyll is there and who knows what he's cooking up. We need to find out what is going on there. I don't like Dad going there at all...but if we're going to stop them, then we need to know," he replied. She nodded, not disagreeing with that and then shivered.

"Her teaming up with someone like Jekyll or Grimm is unsettling, to say the least," she admitted.

"I know, but I promise we're going to stop them. True love always wins," he told her. She smiled.

"Always…" she replied, as she kissed him.

"Just as long as there are no more curses and finding each other," she said. He chuckled.

"No more...we ended the curses after the last one and while I will always find you, hopefully, I'll never have to again," he said, as he kissed her passionately.

"So...should we go to sleep or…" she said, trailing off and he smiled.

"I like or better," he said and she giggled, as he kissed her again and their passion consumed them.


Leo awoke the next morning and after cleaning up, he walked onto the balcony and noticed that, overnight, Arendelle had taken on a lot of snow. That wasn't really unusual. It was November in Maine, but he didn't remember Scuttle predicting blizzard level snow and it was still snowing.

"Snow is deep this morning," he said, as he heard Elsa come back into their chambers.

"I don't think it's a blizzard...not a normal one anyway," she said.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"I mean it's forty degrees and sunny in Storybrooke and the rest of the realms. This isn't normal," she replied, worriedly. He frowned.

"Magic…" he realized and felt her cold hands on him.

"Oh my God…" she cried, as she recoiled from him when she noticed that her touch had left frost on his skin. She looked at her hands in horror and fear crept inside her again.

"Am I doing this?" she asked.

"No...you've had control of your powers for a long time," he replied.

"But...this is how it was before. I caused an eternal winter in Arendelle before!" she cried.

"You did...but you were frightened then and had no control over your power. That's not the case here. You're in complete control and not frightened at all," he replied. She calmed a bit.

"You're right...but then what is this?" she asked fearfully.

"I don't know...but we've been through this before. Let's go ask my parents and Aphrodite. If anyone will know, it will be them or her," he replied calmly. She nodded and she was about to take his hand and then recoiled.

"Come on," he said softly, as he used his magic to poof them to his parents castle.


Goldie casually walked down the winding steps of the Tremaine castle that morning, after having cleaned up, and joined her hostess at the long formal dining table. Servants were prompt and served her breakfast and coffee.

"I could get used to this," she admitted, as she started eating.

"And if we succeed, then perhaps you will. But already, you have proven to be a bit of a loose cannon," Rodmilla said in a measured tone.

"Hey...it's not my fault that no one will believe that Snow White's precious daughter couldn't possibly murder anyone," Goldie said, as she swallowed.

"And then Mr. Boots fired me for it," she said, as she speared some eggs with her fork.

"He had to pay…" she replied.

"Perhaps...but if we are really going to go up against the Charmings, we must not act rashly," Rodmilla said. She scoffed.

"Fine...then what exactly do you plan to do?" Goldie asked. She smirked.

"I have magic now, thanks to Dr. Jekyll. And when I make my debut, I will find a way to draw blood from the two idiots. With their blood, Grimm can create any narrative we want. Plus, we have a few other ideas if that doesn't work," she said.

"Fine...but until it's time to enact some plan, what about getting me back on the air. You need a counter narrative to air to people if you're really going to build an insurgency to go against the Charmings," Goldie replied.

"Don't worry...you'll have your fancy television studio and a show that will broadcast to the entire United Realms. And with my magic reinforcing it, they won't be able to turn you off," Rodmilla answered.

"I hope this studio comes with a nice dressing room and a makeup artist then," Goldie said.

"Of course...whatever, as long as you tow the line," Rodmilla replied.

"If it means destroying Snow White and her perfect life...then I'll do whatever is needed," Goldie replied.


David finished the last of the pancakes and set the plate on the table, as he sat down with them. This morning, it was just them, Summer, Bobby, and Natalie.

"Thanks for breakfast," Natalie said.

"Of course...and you're eating for two after all," David replied.

"Yeah...except I literally have no idea what I'm doing. I'm not sure I've ever even held a baby," Natalie said.

"Oh...you'll do fine and we'll be here through all of it. Trust me...we're excited for our new niece or nephew and we'll be happy to help with everything," Snow assured. David smiled at her.

"Yeah...we've done this a few times," he said, as she smiled back at him.

"Do you think Johnny will find out that I'm pregnant?" she wondered.

"Even if he does, it won't matter. He's not getting out of prison. And I realize that anything can happen and we have had prison breaks before. But if the worst does happen, we'll make sure he never gets near you or the baby," David said.

"Really?" Natalie asked.

"Bald Mountain is still completely protected and if needed, we'd make sure you and the baby went there if something happened," David replied.

"You've thought this all out?" Natalie asked.

"You're my sister and I take the job of protecting my family and the people I love very seriously," David replied. She smiled.

"Thanks...guess I'm not really used to that," Natalie said.

"Where did you grow up? You never really talk about it," Summer mentioned.

"Unless that's too nosy," she added.

"No...not at all. I bounced around with Mom quite a bit. She was...involved in the collecting. Mostly of artifacts and valuable things for Clayton. I was in Atlantis a lot, but I didn't really get that most of those people weren't there by choice when I was little, Mom didn't let me wander around the compound too much," she said.

"I met Johnny when I was a teenager. By then, I was educated to think that was all normal and that we were entitled to all the treasures we were collecting," she continued.

"By then, I had developed a great love for the fascinating artifacts we were trying to find and collecting. I got my degree in archaeology, anthropology, and a minor in literature. I traveled with Johnny a lot after that," she said.

"So Clayton was grooming him to take over one day?" David asked.

"Somewhat. He was being prepared for it, but he also knew that his father had no intention of allowing his aging process to progress and was pretty sure he was going to either succeed in gaining the power of the chalice or die trying," Natalie replied.

"Good thing it was the latter," Bobby mumbled. Natalie smirked.

"We agree on that. Johnny may have idolized his father and wanted to continue on for him, but Clayton was neglectful. He had no time for him until he was almost an adult," she said.

"That doesn't surprise me at all," Snow said.

"Johnny has a chip on his shoulder. He knows that Clayton was always disappointed that he was of Divine blood," Natalie replied.

"You mean Aphrodite," David deduced. She nodded.

"Clayton was always angry that he wasn't able to Sire a child with the Goddess. Johnny knew it," Natalie said.

"That's really sad," Summer mentioned.

"Do you know anything about his mother?" Snow asked curiously.

"Not much, other than her name is Callista Stavros," Natalie replied.

"Stavros? Isn't that the name that Clayton used under the curse?" Bobby asked.

"It is...I wonder if she's out there somewhere," Snow wondered.

"She is, indeed," Patricia said, as she arrived.

"Good morning," David greeted.

"Good morning...I'm sorry to intrude, but I'm here to actually talk about the very person you were talking about," she replied, as she sat down.

"Don't tell me...Callista Stavros is one of the thirteen that we're trying to take down?" David asked. She nodded.

"She is, indeed," Patricia replied, as she opened the folder to reveal a beautiful, middle aged woman.

"What do you know about her?" David asked.

"Almost nothing...this woman is a ghost, but she obviously was very involved with Clayton and likely helping him run his entire operation. She's like the woman behind the curtain...but I have intel that she may be making a rare public appearance in a couple days," Patricia replied.

"Where are we going this time?" Snow asked.

"Washington DC, the Smithsonian to be specific. They are having an event and a rare collection of Greek Mythological artifacts is on display for one night only," Patricia replied.

"Is she planning to steal them?" David asked.

"No...she owns them all. Probably things that were once a part of Clayton's collection that weren't in Atlantis," Patricia replied.

"Then why is she holding an exhibit?" Natalie asked.

"It's a setup...for us, isn't it?" Snow asked. The Major nodded.

"It's looking that way," she said.

"But we should still go or we might not get another chance at her," David replied.

"That's my thought. Storybrooke's Atlantis museum probably holds a lot of things she wants back. She'll probably have something planned to try to capture you two and seize the chalice. We need to be prepared for anything," Patricia said.

"Then we'll be ready and we'll need to put a team together," Snow said.

"Well, an exhibit on Greek mythology...we should bring my brother and Aphrodite for sure," David said.

"I'm not missing this one either…" Natalie said.

"With Bobby...that's seven. We can go talk to them right now," David said, as they finished up and put the dishes in the sink.

That was when Elsa and Leo arrived.

"Hi honey…" Snow greeted, but then noticed the worried looks on their faces.

"What's going on?" she asked.

"We're not sure...but Arendelle is under about two feet of snow," Leo replied.

"I don't know what's going on...my powers are under control and I'm not agitated. Yet I'm freezing anything I touch again," Elsa said worriedly.

"I'm texting my brother now," David said, as a few moments later, he and Aphrodite arrived in a puff of orange smoke with their children.

"We came right away," Aphrodite said, as she approached Elsa and waved a hand of magic over her.

"We checked too and it's still snowing in Arendelle even in your absence. I'm not sure you're doing this at all," James said.

"Then what could it be? The Snow Queen has been gone a very long time," Snow replied.

"I don't know...this is above me too. Let's return to Olympus and call on Athena. If anyone knows...it's her," Aphrodite said.

"Uh...I hope so, because something is definitely up," Leo said, as they saw his entire body become alive with cobalt lightning.

"No one touch me...I could send you across the room," Leo said. Bobby ignored him and did just that and much to everyone's surprise, he seemed immune to the out of control magic.

"Kid...what the hell?! I could have just sent you flying," Leo scolded.

"But you didn't...I had a hunch," Bobby replied, as he tested Elsa and touched her hand. They were shocked to see that her powers were not freezing him.

"Cool…" Bobby said.

"Look!" Summer called, as she pointed out the window to reveal that Misthaven was now having heavy rain and loud, violent thunder and lightning.

"Okay...let's get to Olympus now. If the elements are out of control, I have no idea how or why," Aphrodite said, as she transported them all there.


"And just breaking...it looks like Arendelle isn't the only place that is having weather problems. While Arendelle is being buried in deep snow, it appears that Misthaven is experiencing a raging thunderstorm that has already dropped almost two inches of rain. Our studio has reached out to the royals of both Kingdom, but have yet to be answered…"

The reporter droned on and the mysterious, elder man smirked, as he enjoyed his drink. It had been too long since he had known life and he was enjoying his freedom immensely. He did not know what his next move would be, but this place allowed him the anonymity he needed to figure it all out.

"I can't believe that stupid mermaid is taking my position at the reporting desk," Goldie complained, unaware that the elder man was listening.

"Relax...Rodmilla says the studio is ready and you can go live momentarily. I've written your script and everything," he said.

"And you think if I attack the royals and blame this on them that I'll be believed?" she asked. He shrugged.

"By enough people...yes. The Charming children have elemental magic, along with Queen Elsa. That's what this looks like. Claim the kids are causing this with their out of control magic...and enough might believe it. The Charmings are constantly causing trouble and my article is blowing up now that it was picked up by a widely circulated newspaper. I'm telling you...public opinion is about to turn against these hallowed heroes," Grimm responded. Goldie smirked.

"Then let their downfall begin," she said. The elder man smirked. Perhaps he now knew exactly how he would play this. If his granddaughter was deemed too dangerous to rule eventually, he could swoop in, reveal himself when the time was right, and reclaim his Throne with ease…


"That's right...I can assure that Elias Grimm's article is completely false. Summer Charming did not kill anyone, let alone Nora Bradley," Henry said, as he spoke into his phone. He had been up since six taking calls from reporters and publishers trying to get information on his family. With all the events of the previous evening, he probably had a long day of writing ahead.

"I'll have more chapters dropping soon with the real story, I assure you," he said, as he hung up and Ella poured him a cup of coffee.

"Thanks…" he said and she rubbed his shoulder.

"I hate to tell you this, but the weird weather has everyone whipped up into a frenzy," she said.

"We should find my grandparents. Chances are they are on this, but are as confused as us at this point," he said, as he stood up and the television blipped. The screen changed and they saw Goldie sitting at a news desk.

"How the hell is she on the air?" he asked.

"Good morning United Realms and welcome to the newest news broadcast in all the Realms, direct from Pleasure Island. I'm Goldilocks and it seems that the weather is once again out of control in several places," she said.

"Apparently Queen Elsa must be upset, because Arendelle is buried under snow and her husband, the illustrious King Leo, darling son of Snow White and Prince Charming, must be throwing a tantrum, as Misthaven is getting flooded with a violent thunderstorm," she reported.

"You can't change the channel...how is she doing this?" Ella wondered.

"I don't know...but we can't reach her on Pleasure Island and she knows it," Henry replied, as he got a text.

"That's my Mom...she says that she's with my grandparents at Olympus," he said.

"Let's go...Lucy, we need to go!" Ella called, as they gathered their daughter and then left for Olympus.


Xander sat at the bar in the Saloon, as he quietly observed the comings and goings, undetected. So far, he had seen Goldie and Grimm boasting about some broadcast, which was now playing. To his surprise though, Rodmilla Tremaine suddenly entered the establishment with Dr. Jekyll and looked around the entire place. If those two had teamed up, it was definitely trouble.

"Attention please!" she called, but was promptly ignored.

"A demonstration of your authority will be the only way to get their attention, I assure you," Jekyll advised. She smirked and Xander's eyes widened, as magic erupted from her fingertips and exploded several of the lights. The entire place stopped to stare at her.

"Magic shouldn't work here!" one of the patrons claimed, as she placed her gloved hands on her hips.

"Yes, well, thanks to the good doctor, this is a new kind of magic, backed by science," she claimed, as she used it to shove the man against the wall.

"The time has come for those that have made us outlaws in this place to pay, but that is only possible if we rise up. The only way to do that is to rally behind me," she said.

"If you want revenge and power, you must join me! The last Evil Queen was a sore disappointment, but I will make her look like a kitten!" Rodmilla announced. One scraggly looking man stepped forward.

"You expect us to believe that you and four eyes really have a chance in going up against the Charmings and all their magic?" he asked. Jekyll smirked.

"I have come very close to defeating them before. I can assure you that we are working on multiple ways to combat them and orchestrate their defeat," Jekyll said.

"So you can explode some light bulbs and push us around. That's nothing compared to their power, especially if they can control the weather," he said.

"Dissenters will be dealt with severally," Rodmilla replied. He scoffed.

"Whatever," he said, but they were all stunned when she struck him with magic and he fell dead to the floor with a hole in his chest.

"Anyone else want to question my ascent to the Throne?" she asked and there was silence.

"Very well...then you kneel before your new Queen!" she demanded and they slowly did so, forcibly joining the cause.


They arrived at Olympus and Aphrodite went to her viewing pond.

"Athena…" she called and the woman soon became visible.

"You sound troubled, sister," she said.

"Something very odd is going on in the United Realms. The elements seem to be out of control," Aphrodite said. Athena frowned and then appeared before them all.

"Are you sure?" the Goddess asked.

"My powers...I don't feel like they are out of control, but no one can touch me, I'm leaving a trail of ice behind me, and my Kingdom is buried in snow," Elsa said.

"Yeah...and I am apparently causing a monsoon and no one can touch me unless they want to get electrocuted," Leo added, as she observed the lightning that was literally alive all over his body and Elsa's frosty trail behind her.

"Except me...I can touch them. Seems I'm immune," Bobby said, as Snow put her hands on his shoulders. Athena smiled.

"You are all the elements, young one. Your element of earth makes this so," she said.

"Do you know why this is happening?" David asked. Athena waved her hand so she could observe the storms in the two separate Kingdoms.

"Stars...how did I not anticipate this…" she muttered.

"Anticipate this?" Athena asked.

"I'm afraid that now that Blue is gone...there is no keeping him back," she said.

"Keeping who back?" Elsa asked, as the Goddess turned to her.

"Your grandfather,"
