~Rumple's Castle~
Before long, they came across the foreboding Manor. It was just as Belle remembered it. It hadn't taken Regina long to undo his protections, but Belle still felt uneasy here. She'd been assaulted with memories, both good and bad, as soon as she stepped foot onto his property. Now, the three were in the library, and Regina was saying something.
"Belle."
"What?" Her head shot around to look at the sorceress. "Sorry. I got caught up in the past."
"It's fine. I can help speed this along if you tell me what you're looking for. Start broadly."
"Books.. about the Gods."
With a wave of her hand, approximately two dozen books were lifted from the shelves and started floating in a circle around the trio. The beauty of this simple spell was not lost on Belle.
"Now be more specific, Belle."
She thought for a moment. "How we can find them."
Most of the books went back on the shelves, leaving only two. Belle reached out, grabbing one, then the other. "This will tide me over for an hour or so. Can you two look for books that he may have hidden?"
Regina nodded. "Knowing Rumpel, he'd definitely hide the more important ones. Neal-" He looked up from the book he had been examining. "Why don't you walk the entire property, inside and out. See if you feel a pull towards anything, or if something opens or reveals itself just before you get close."
He nodded. "I can do that." He looked around the room. "It's gonna take a while."
"Use your intuition." Regina suggested. "Blood magick is strong that way."
