Snow and David called everyone to Granny's diner that morning. They had just gotten done informing them of what happened. "I've never seen a crest like this in my life," Killian said.
"I have," Regina said. "I've been having dreams at night. It was of a wolf talking to me about some island that's beyond space and time. No one ever aged there, but people could die there. It's where they sent all of the magical children. She had a pin with that crest on it."
"So you think that's where they took Neal?" David asked.
"Possibly," Regina said. "It's worth looking into. For the first time in months, I didn't dream of the wolf last night. I have to get back to sleep to uncover more answers."
"How do we know that this is even safe?" Snow asked.
"It's worth a shot," Regina said. The group then nod and leave to go to Regina's house.
Henry, Luna, Persephone, and Jade had spent the last few hours searching Annette's bedroom. "It's hopeless," Luna groaned. "Either Annette hid the instructions well or Mrs. Blossom destroyed them."
"How was Annette even able to turn into a wolf?" Henry asked.
"Turning into animals is a form of earth magic, which is a form of elemental magic," Luna explained. "Her mom was a werewolf and was exiled from her pack when she gave birth to two human babies."
As they talked, Persephone pulled on Annette's copy of 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' by JK. Rowling. It lead to a dark staircase. "Guys, I found something worth checking out," she said.
"Wow," Henry said. The group then head down the staircase. In a dark room with a floating orb in the center of it.
"I learned about this in magic artifacts 101," Jade said. "It's the orb of dreams. It lets you visit anyone's dreams. This is probably how she was talking to the evil queen."
"One of us needs to go in while the others stay and make sure there's no trouble," Persephone suggested.
"I'll go in," Henry said. "She's my mom so she's most likely to believe me. Also I have some stuff I need to clear up."
"Ok," Jade said. The three girls go upstairs while Henry puts his hands on the orb.
Regina woke up in the same plain she had been waking up in. She looked around, expecting to find the wolf. She was surprised to see her thought to be dead son. "Henry?" Regina asked, surprised.
"Hey mom," Henry said.
"I though you were dead," Regina said, hugging her long lost son for a few minutes.
"That was a cover up by the magic consul," Henry said, once they pulled away.
"Do you know about the wolf who had been visiting my dreams?" Regina asked.
"Yes," Henry said. "Her name was Annette. She's sadly dead."
"Oh," Regina said. "Do you know what happened to Neal? He was taken from his crib last night, and this crest was left."
She showed him the crest. "That's the crest for the magic consul," Henry explained.
"Do you know where the magic consul is?" Regina asked.
"No," Henry said.
"Well come to you and well figure this out together," Regina said, feeling like she was about to wake up.
"Ok mom," Henry said. The reunited mother and son share one finale embrace before they both disappear out of there.
