Thanks for awesome the reviews. Again, please consider leaving feedback. I love writing this story, but a lot of hard work in my free time goes into getting weekly chapters up, so reviews are really gratifying. :)

Note: There was some confusion about when Zelena killed Eva and I'll admit it is not very clear. Basically, Zelena appeared during the time in which Persephone found out she was pregnant and Eli was going to run off with her. But then Zelena killed Eva, making Eli realize he couldn't. Then Zelena disappeared, because at that time, she was actually around ten. It's confusing, but it's time travel so I took some liberties.

Here are individual responses:

Naomi Blue: Yep, Rumple's intervention was a surprise, but not an unwelcome one. :)

Saberius Prime: Yep that one was action packed. This is the 100th chapter. I would call it a transitional chapter, so I hope it doesn't disappoint. It is going to set up the rest of this arc though. :)

Jennifer Baratta: Glad you enjoyed it! :)

Beth1980: Glad you like the flashback with the ring. I know what you mean, since I'm a child of divorce too. Yes, I would agree. Whatever love she had for Robert faded, but her true loves were her children. David knows a little about her past, enough to keep him from asking too many questions. No, he doesn't know about James though and there is a bit on that in this chapter. Nope, there isn't an arranged marriage standing in Snowing's way this time and they're younger, so admitting love is a bit easier. Yep, unfortunately separation for Snowing was still in the cards. Yeah, he had to meet her parents right away, but they like him so it's good. :) Yeah, I thought Deimos was creepy, but Frollo definitely gives him a run for his money. Apollo is going to try to convince Arawn in this chapter, but yeah you probably know how that's going to go already. Yep, Rumple's intervention was very entertaining. We know his motives aren't pure, but we can always enjoy his flare for the dramatic. Yeah, I'm thinking Arawn is a little touched in the head by thinking he could capture the Dark One, lol

Number Ten: Yep, Rumple to the rescue with all the dramatic flare we expect. Glad you like the recreation of the Troll bridge scene. I knew it would be different, but wanted to keep many of the same elements. This chapter is transitional and starting in the next chapter, we'll have more of a summary as we skip ahead several years. This chapter sets up the rest of this arc. And yes, Regina's revenge is a bit more justified this time. :)

Theinferno1536: I can't tell you what the ramifications will be. That would kind of spoil my plot. But there will be and not because Zelena put anything in place. Anytime you mess with time, there are consequences, sometimes good and bad. For instance, in the first Back to the Future, Marty inadvertently made changes to his family life and the changes were actually good. Just his mere presence changed things. And if you're going by Avengers time travel rules, there was a definite possibility that branched realities were created when they went back for the infinity stones. In regards to Once, we know that using time travel breaks one of the laws of magic. Just for that very reason, things might not be exactly the same when they go back. That's all I can say, because I don't want to spoil what I have planned.

Grace5231973: So glad you liked the battle and the mix of that and romance! Yep, Rumple to the rescue with all the fun and flare we expect. I love the nickname too. It's what Hades called Zeus in the animated movie and I thought it was the perfect thing for Rumple to call him, especially since Zeus is really the villain here. :)

Izzypirelli: I know, I LOVED how he told the trolls she was his girlfriend and Snow thought it was a ruse, but we know it was wishful thinking on his part. Glad you liked the flashback. I wanted the ring to still have a big part and stand for true love, so that's what I came up with. Yep, "it already led me to her," was hands down my favorite line in the last chapter. I really love the idea of them being teenagers in love too. Definitely heart eyes. Him telling her that he really did believe the ring led him to her and that it wasn't an accident is my second favorite part. Yep, Zeus is crossing all kinds of lines here. I'll be glad when he's dead again. People in power do like to victim-blame, don't they? That would be an interesting study. Frollo is like the epitome of hypocrisy which is totally my take on him. He's another that thinks he's holy and everything he does is good, even when he's committing atrocities. He is very manipulative and seems to have quite a hold on Arawn. There may be more to why on that later. But at the very least, I see Frollo as someone that could have a lot of sway over powerful people, because he's so self righteous and manipulative. Yep, had to get a you'll find me in there! Rumple to the rescue with all the flare we have come to expect. I envisioned Ginny and Josh acting that scene out too and I think that's why it came out so powerful, even though there isn't any dialogue. Yep, you can change their pasts, but not their love and through everything that will be my point of this arc. And I'll enjoy writing the scene where they get to rub that fact in Zelena's green face. :)

Dreaming Out Loud

Chapter 100: Someday I'll Wish Upon a Star

"Wow…" Emma uttered, as she finished viewing the intense situation that her family had just been in. Some things about this reality were very good, but in many ways, there were also even more problems.

"Is it weird that I miss the days where I thought Cronus might be our big problem?" Emma quipped. Athena smiled thinly.

"Arawn is extremely dangerous...but Frollo is perhaps even worse," she agreed.

"Not surprising. The guy hates magic and then turns around and uses it. He can call that science all he wants, but that was magic and he used it on my Dad. I'd like to give him a punch in the face for that," she groused.

"Does this mean you are ready to make your decision?" Athena questioned.

"I...I don't know honestly. If I reverse the spell, does that mean Arawn and Frollo go away?" Emma asked.

"There is a possibility that everything could return to just as it was before Zelena cast her spell," Athena replied.

"Why do I sense a but in there?" Emma asked.

"Because time travel is so unpredictable, not to mention forbidden. It defies the laws of magic and it is the one rule that even Zeus has dared to break and believe me, Zeus has broken every other rule in the book," Athena mentioned.

"So you're saying that even if I do turn back time...there still might be changes?" Emma asked.

"There is always that possibility. The original time line would return, but elements from this time line might also become a reality," Athena answered.

"Like two worlds literally colliding," Emma muttered, as she thought for a moment and then sighed, as she put her hands to her face.

"I hate this! No matter what I do...I feel like we're damned if we do and damned if we don't!" the blonde cried.

"That's a fair assessment. What Zelena has done will cause ramifications that not even me or the oracles can foresee. It's unfair Emma...but the decision remains with you," Athena implored. The blonde sighed.

"So I still have about ten years to go...any chance I can just get the highlights?" Emma questioned. Athena chuckled and waved her hand over the viewing pool.

"That I can do, but it will also speed up the need for your decision," she warned.

"I understand…" Emma agreed, as the major events began to play out before her again.

Arawn sat in his Throne that evening, extremely displeased with the turn of events.

"Sire...I know today did not turn out as you had hoped, but the division among the Gods of Olympus will only benefit us. For the first time in history, they fear us mortals," Frollo advised.

"Which could lead to our destruction," Arawn countered.

"Or theirs. The warring between brothers Zeus and Hades could end up destroying them and their entire bloodlines. They will not take Zeus' betrayal against Persephone lightly," he warned.

"Yes...I suppose you are correct and we can seize any opportunity to expand our Empire," he said, as he rose from his Throne and gazed out the window.

"Starting with Midas' Kingdom. Once he falls...others will fold to me with little quarrel," he surmised.

"All while violating the laws of the land along the way," a new voice interjected, as the two men looked around.

"Show yourself!" Frollo demanded, as a young looking man with an olive complexion appeared. Though he looked like he was barely thirty, his eyes had a wisdom and told that he was much older than he looked.

"And what concern is it of yours?" Arawn questioned.

"I am Apollo and to say that I have a strong aversion to your evil is an understatement," he responded.

"Ah...the God Apollo. Perhaps no one has informed you...but the Gods have little sway in the mortal land these days," Frollo stated.

"Your arrogance is deeply troubling, Judge Frollo. Almost as much as your perversion," Apollo countered, which angered the other man immensely.

"I am the Royal Vizier and was a man of justice! You let magic disease this land and yet I am called out for perversion," he hissed.

"After the way you looked at my niece...I'd say I'm correct in my assessment," Apollo stated.

"So that's what this is about. Has Persephone sent you to plead for her daughter's life? Because you shouldn't waste your breath. She killed my sister," Arawn growled.

"She did not...and I have proof," Apollo claimed.

"Any proof you carry is hardly that. You are a God of immense power and ability to twist anything you want," Frollo claimed.

"My oracles do not lie or deceive, but I wouldn't expect a man like you to recognize the truth," Apollo stated, as he used his oracle to show them the vision of that night. Of Deimos conspiring with the Queen, before betraying and killing her. Of Deimos staging the crime scene and framing Princess Snow.

"As you can see...the one you have allied yourself with is the one that murdered your sister," Apollo stated.

"That's a very convenient story...but there is nothing you can show me that will stop my conquest. The Kingdoms are in disarray. Their leaders are weak. King Eli, King George, King Midas, King Stefan, King Hubert...even Prince Eric in the Maritime Kingdom. They are either weak sods or greedy tyrants. Only through conformity can there be prosperity," Arawn claimed.

"Spoken like a true dictator," Apollo said distastefully.

"Even if we were to believe these claims, Snow White would not escape our scrutiny. She is an abomination...a demon born and bred in the Underworld," Frollo responded.

"Snow is as good and pure as her name suggests...but then that's why you want to destroy her. She's fated to become a great leader and to find a true love that Athena has already etched in the stars, because it will be so profound," Apollo warned. Frollo scoffed.

"We will not be threatened by that child's rule. A woman has no place on the Throne without a man by her side. She will not ascend to her father's Throne," Frollo refuted.

"This war...it will slaughter thousands. It could be worse than the ogre war. You will not create order and justice with war!" Apollo declared.

"Your laws need mending. Mortals break them and ignore them, because they are not harsh enough, but the time of leniency has passed. This is the dawn of a new era upon us and with Zeus behind us, I'd say there is little the rest of you can do against us," Arawn replied.

"We shall see," Apollo countered, as he disappeared in a puff of smoke. Arawn noticed the pensive look on Frollo's face.

"What is it? Speak your mind, my friend," he requested.

"Well...while I do not believe their claims are anything more than bluster...I am beginning to think that Snow White may be more useful alive, rather than dead," he said.

"How so?" Arawn inquired.

"Apollo was not wrong in the fact that her mother Persephone has quite the sway over the other Gods. The same can be said of the people about Snow White. They adore her. That has been made clear by how even intimidation from our soldiers did not get anyone to reveal her whereabouts," Frollo proposed.

"But Snow White would never side with us," he reminded.

"Of course not, but you do have control of her father's Throne now. As King, you would have the power to order her to marry whomever you choose for her. Royals from all over would clamor to marry the fairest of them all," Frollo countered. Arawn smirked.

"And to do so, they would offer up their Kingdoms in a merger," he surmised. Frollo nodded.

"She'd be merely a figurehead and is obviously as unruly as they come. But with a firm hand from someone like me and a suitable husband, she could be molded into the Queen we need to sway the people," Frollo mentioned.

"Hades and Persephone are still a problem though," Arawn reminded.

"This plan if far from a complete thought. There are details I have not yet worked out, but perhaps we should change her wanted posters and instruct she be brought to us alive," Frollo proposed.

"That makes it more difficult...but not impossible. Especially since we know there is a peasant boy out there somewhere that she loves," Arawn agreed.

"Who happens to be identical to George's son. Do you think either boy knows of the other?" Frollo asked.

"Doubtful...that's not something George would want to advertise, if he even knows himself. Whatever business transaction he participated in to get his brat was likely as shady as they come," Arawn commented. Frollo nodded in agreement.

"Do we tell Prince James and King George?" he inquired.

"Not yet...it might be useful information later on. I'd like to keep that one close to the vest, so to speak," Arawn responded. Frollo nodded obediently.

"Then we proceed with the invasion?" the Vizier asked.

"Yes...for now we place our plans for Snow White on hold. I have no idea that you are correct in your assessment that she may become useful to us. For now, we seize Midas' Kingdom. Once we have overtaken them, King Stefan, King Hubert, and Prince Eric's Kingdoms will fall easily enough," Arawn replied.

"And what of Arendelle? We know so little about it," Frollo stated.

"We remain cautious with it. There are closed gates there for a reason. But soon the first born Princess Elsa will come of age and she will be forced to open the gates for her coronation. That is when I will send Hans in," Arawn responded. Frollo nodded and left his King to prepare the armies for the coming invasion…

Snow arrived in her step-father's Throne room and gently pet Cerberus with affection, before noticing the sapling that had grown just after she had met David.

"Mother...where did you get this?" she asked, as she looked at the sapling that was now under glass.

"I extracted it for safekeeping once I came upon it while we were looking for you," Persephone responded.

"I didn't have time to think about what it might mean, because we had to run. But I know magic when I see it," she mentioned. Persephone smiled.

"It was the first spark of true love, sweetheart," she revealed Snow grinned and then bit her bottom lip.

"I knew what I felt for him...but it's nice to have it confirmed. I know that Nana always said I'd find true love...but I thought that wouldn't be the case anymore when I was framed for murder. I...I almost lost hope," Snow admitted. Persephone went to her daughter and hugged her tightly.

"Oh my little snowdrop...I am so sorry all this has happened to you," Persephone said, hating that there were things that not even she could protect her from.

"It's okay Mother...I almost lost hope, but then David came along. He's wonderful," Snow swooned. Persephone smiled and hugged her daughter.

"Handsome too," she mentioned, enjoying how her daughter's cheeks colored.

"I noticed," she muttered, as they watched Hades use his oracle with what could only be described as a troubled look.

"Is Papa Hades okay?" Snow asked.

"He'll be fine, sweetie. I'm afraid he's just worried...because he's about to get very busy," Persephone replied regrettably.

"Because of me," Snow said sadly.

"Absolutely not...none of this is your fault. A very evil man saw an opportunity to create chaos and seize power," Persephone admonished.

"She's right snowdrop," he agreed, as he turned and opened his arms, so he could hug them both close.

"But a lot of people are going to die, aren't they?" Snow asked.

"I'm afraid so," he told her honestly, as they watched Arawn's army march toward Midas' Kingdom.

David arrived home on horseback and saw all three of his parents on the porch of their house, looking as worried as he had ever seen them. Which was understandable, as he was three days late getting home.

"David!" Ruth cried, in a voice that was a cross between relief and scolding. She tackled him in a hug and he almost fell over when Mama Sera joined them. He met his father's eyes over them and sighed.

"I'm sorry...I promise I'm okay and that I have a very good reason for my lateness," he said.

"You had better. Do you know how worried we were? You can't disappear like that, David," Sera said fearfully. There was something behind her voice and David wondered if it had to do with her past, though she had no idea why. Surely they could never make any connections between him and his adoptive step-mother, but then he really didn't know a lot as she never wanted to talk about it.

"I'm sorry Mama...but maybe we could go inside," he suggested. They nodded and prodded him inside, though his parents hung back for a moment. Sera's hands shook in fear and Ruth clasped her hands with her own.

"He's okay…" she promised.

"I know...I just fear that we have to tell him soon. With war upon the Kingdoms...James will be traveling more. If he runs into him out there...George would have David killed on sight," Sera whispered.

"He won't...telling him can bring no good," Robert disagreed.

"How can you say that? He should know," Sera insisted.

"Our other son is about to fight a war and I know we're all scared. But telling David? What if he foolishly decides to rush off to meet his brother anyway and we lose two sons!" Robert hissed fearfully. Ruth sighed.

"He may be right...we should discuss this later," Ruth said, mediating what would be a heated argument between them. They agreed for the moment and followed their son back inside.

Arawn's vast army, led by a savage and blood-thirsty Deimos moved on Midas' Kingdom like a hoard of hungry locusts. Midas' own army was very large as well and the once gorgeous, mountains hills where Midas' Kingdom sat became a war ravaged landscape in a matter of hours. The blood of innocent soldiers simply defending their home soon littered the battlefield and the once clear, mountain springs ran red from bloodshed.

Midas' army presented a valiant and staunch resistance, but it was barely a day, before the castle was invaded. Frederick, Midas' most trusted Knight, tried to flee with Princess Abigail to get her to safety, but they were stopped. Midas presented his own defense and managed to turn several of Arawn's soldiers into gold with a simple touch. But the King was halted when Abigail and Fredrick's lives were threatened.

"You put up a valiant defense, Your Majesty. You should be proud of that. King George folded like a weeping willow," Deimos commented, as Frollo and Arawn entered the palace with grandiose. Frollo was carrying a peculiar looking gauntlet and Arawn nodded to him. Deimos held the struggling King, as Frollo placed the hand shaped gauntlet on the King. The device turned gold upon contact with Midas' skin, but then locked his hand down.

"Test it," Frollo ordered to Deimos. The God scoffed.

"I'm not doing it," he commented, as he grabbed one of his soldiers and thrust his face against the King's golden hand. And nothing happened, much to Abigail, Frederick, and most of all Midas' shock. Frollo smirked.

"Once again, as you can see, science is far superior to magic, Your Majesty. My creation has nullified your power. A power of which you are nothing without," Frollo boasted.

"I will never surrender to you!" Midas growled.

"You will...or your daughter and her lover will be executed now," Arawn threatened, as Deimos moved toward them.

"Wait!" Midas cried, as he looked at them sadly.

"I will surrender in exchange for my daughter's and Fredrick's lives," Midas relented. Arawn smirked.

"A good choice," he stated, as he looked at the prized new golden Throne that he had now added to his collection.

"Lord Deimos...assimilate the remainder of Midas' army into our own. You will lead them to King Stefan's Kingdom tomorrow," he ordered. Deimos smirked.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Deimos responded.

Persephone had never seen her husband quite so weary than she had in the last few days. It pained her to see her husband's Throne room so busy, as it meant that Arawn was committing senseless violence and slaughtering.

"All those people…" she heard Snow say from behind her. Persephone turned and hugged her close.

"I know sweetheart, but I promise that things will get better," she told her daughter, as she pulled her into her chambers.

"But Papa Hades, your father, and I all have something for you," she said, as there was an object covered with a sheet.

"What is it?" Snow asked, as she pulled off the sheet and found a beautiful looking glass beneath it.

"A looking glass?" Snow asked.

"An enchanted looking glass. Your father and your Nana are delivering the other mirror to David right now. So even though you cannot be together in person for a while, you can still talk," Persephone replied. Snow's eyes lit up and she hugged her mother.

"Oh Mother...thank you," Snow said gratefully. Persephone hugged her baby tightly.

"I know that magical looking glasses like this aren't easy to get, even for you and Papa Hades," Snow said.

"There is nothing your mother and I will not do for you, snowdrop," Hades interjected, as he joined them in a hug.

"Go on...I'm sure David has his looking glass by now," Persephone prodded, as they left their daughter to talk to her love, while they spent a few moments together.

"You're tired, my love...the souls can wait. Time is all they have, after all," she admonished, as she made him sit down for a moment.

"I know...most of them shouldn't even be here. They died for nothing," he mentioned.

"Damn Zeus…" she growled.

"This is what he wants. He wants to break me and take away my hope, but he will never do that to me again," he promised, as he pulled her down into his lap.

"Because I have love; something that he will never have. My family will ensure I am never broken by this station again," he promised. She smiled gently at him and kissed him passionately.

To say that Ruth and Sera were overjoyed and elated to discover that their son was in love was an understatement. His whole family had been enthralled by his tale of meeting a Princess and their journey to save her father. They weren't crazy about all the danger along the way, but they had to admit that they always knew that David was meant for more than a quiet life on the farm. They knew the restlessness in his youth had been because he was missing something in his life. And now they sensed a peace in him that they had not seen before. Ruth's ring had led her son to true love, after all, ultimately renewing her faith even more.

In the backs of their minds, they knew there was a real possibility of David discovering that he had a twin. But none of them knew exactly how to tell him about it. So they stalled once again, hoping that telling him would not become necessary. They met and welcomed Snow's father when he delivered a gift to David that would allow him to communicate with Snow during their separation too.

After staying with them for an evening, Eli moved on, telling them that he was heading east to lay low for the time being.

The months passed. The war raged. And the weariness grew among the people. It was clear that they needed saving from Arawn and his tyrannical rule. And Athena was clear that it would be true love that would save all the Kingdoms. She wasn't specific as to how, but Persephone knew that Snow and David were somehow integral in that. She suspected that the Dark One knew it too, for his saving of her daughter was more than just to make them even, she was sure of it and so was her husband. She supposed that he had a vested interest in seeing someone like Arawn taken down too though. They had just learned how Frollo had managed to invent a device to nullify Midas' magic, after all. If something could be developed to seal Midas' golden touch away, then that meant it was very likely that Frollo might find a way to suppress the magic in a person. Which was very bad news for all of them. Knowing that her daughter might somehow be key in defeating Arawn gave her a lot of anxiety too. But she knew that Snow and David were special; that their love was special. Which meant they would see and face evils and adversity like some never would.

As least they would not be alone in their battle though. Between the two of them, they had six loving parents that would be with them every step of the way. She had not met David's mothers or his father yet, but she knew they were good people that loved their son and would love her daughter, just as she would come to love their son as her own as well. Their family would stand on the front lines against Arawn and despite the fear that created, she knew that love would prevail. She only hoped that there wasn't too much sacrifice along the way.

At this very moment, her anxiety was in full force. It was fall and the leaves were beginning to turn. And Snow had gone to the surface for her first secretive rendezvous with David. The pair would reunite and travel east together so Snow could visit Eli as well. Her ex was living in the eastern mountain regions at the moment, quite secluded and safe. But she was still worried that they might run into trouble. Still, she was excited that her daughter was getting to see the man she loved at last. Despite the fact that a war was keeping them apart, she still had hope that love would win out.

David worked on repairing their fence that afternoon and his father had come to help him. He was proud of his dad these days, as Robert hadn't had a drink in years. He still gambled a bit more than David liked, but he seemed to be mostly in control of his addictions and for that he was proud of his dad.

"We're making good time on the fence. We might even be done by dinner," David mentioned. Robert smirked, as he had already noticed the young woman in the distance.

"I doubt it, because you're having something else to tend to right now. But that's okay. The fence can wait," he replied. David's brow furrowed, as he looked ahead to what his father was seeing and his eyes widened in surprise.

"Snow…" he uttered. Robert chuckled in amusement, as his son cleared the fence in one easy leap and ran to the raven haired beauty, dressed in an airy white dress, as she waited for him in the meadow beside her unicorn.

"Snow...you're here…" he exclaimed, as he picked her up in his arms and spun her around. She giggled and relished being in his arms again.

"Mother and Papa Hades said it should be safe for a few days. Arawn is moving toward King Hubert's Kingdom and they're much further south now," she mentioned. He grinned at her and their lips met passionately.

"I missed you so much…" he confessed and she caressed his handsome face.

"I missed you too, my love," she whispered to him, as she clung desperately to him. They had gone months and being able to talk to each other had been a blessing. But they had parted each night wishing and longing to hold each other.

By then, David's mothers had come out of the house and joined his father at the fence.

"I think I'd like to finally meet them in person," Snow mentioned. She had talked to all of them through the enchanted looking glass and his mothers already adored Snow, just as she adored them. He took her hand and led her over to the fence, helping her over it.

"Oh Snow...it so good to finally meet you in person," Ruth gushed. Snow smiled and hugged her back.

"It's so good to meet you too...all of you," she said, as Robert and Sera both greeted her as well.

"Dinner will be ready in a couple hours. Why don't you and David enjoy a ride in the meadow on your unicorn," Sera suggested. David smiled and took her hand.

"That sounds like a great idea," he agreed. Snow smiled, as they mounted Stardust together, with David riding in front at Snow's insistence. She put her arms around him and leaned her head against his back, as Stardust galloped off into the meadow. Snow relished the thrumming of his heartbeat. David took them further into the meadow and along the outskirts of the forest until they came upon a small lagoon with a waterfall.

"Oh David...this is beautiful…" she marveled, as he dismounted and then helped her down. He knew she was perfectly capable of getting down herself, but he simply wanted her in his arms and she wanted the same.

"I know...it's kind of a hidden gem. I've been wanting to share it with you," he replied, as he held her close and they gazed at each other. But now that they were completely alone, all politeness was gone and their lips crashed together with wanton desperation.

"I love you…" David uttered, as she pressed her forehead against his.

"I love you too...my Charming," she said with a bright smile, using a name that she had coined for him after he had saved her life so many times. He looked down shyly.

"I keep telling you I'm not a prince," he reminded.

"No...but you're my prince," she purred, as she kissed him again and the way she said that, with love in her voice and a touch of possessiveness, made him feel hot all over. He smiled at her, as their lips parted.

"And I want to be with you...eternally. I know that we're young and we can't be together all the time yet, but I know this is true love," he said. Snow smiled.

"I know it is too and someday, we won't have to be separated at all," she assured.

"Until then...I want to put this on your finger. I have since the troll bridge when I realized I was in love with you," he said. She gasped, as he got down on one knee.

"Will you marry me...someday?" he asked and she bit her bottom lip.

"What do you think?" she teased, as she held out her hand and he slipped the ring on her finger, before standing up and taking her in his arms again. Their lips met passionately again and they lost themselves in each other once again...
