The storm stopped and the tornado disappeared. Maleficent held the only friend she got in the world in her arms. Robyn hugged her mother to comfort her. Emma held Henry and David held his wife. The supposed to be victory turned into grief.
Young Henry and the kids from Granny's came into the Main Street with smile on their faces thinking they've won. Henry saw his mother on the ground with Maleficent, lifeless.
"Mom?" he called.
They turned to him not knowing he's there. He ran to Regina's body and saw that she's really gone.
"No. Mom! Wake up. Come on. You can't die. Please. Wake up", he cried but Regina isn't waking up. He buried his head on her body and cries. "I love you, Mom. I love you so much", he whispered.
The whole town has been silent.
Regina's castle in the Enchanted Forest has been flooded with people who want to pay their respect to her. They came from different realms that Regina brought together.
Young Henry's eyes widened when the Evil Queen and Wish Realm's Robin walked in the hall. Actually, everyone went silent they arrived not because they see her as the Evil Queen but because she's the splitting image of Regina. Of course, they look the same because she came from her.
The Evil Queen looked at Regina lying peacefully with her favorite light blue gown. The Evil Queen smiled.
"You really are stupid to fall for that voodoo doctor again but I don't blame you. You used to be smart when we're in the same body so, it's not entirely your fault. I hope you're at peace now. I hope you already found the happiness you're looking for your entire life. You can now finally rest. No more pain. No more suffering. No more anger or hatred. No more vengeance. Only love. Only happiness which we always wanted from day one. Thank you for everything, Regina", she said to her alter ego.
She turned around and nodded at the sight of Emma and the Charming family who are all teary eyed just by looking at her. She understands why. Young Henry came to her but didn't say a word. He's just looking at her. Her heart breaks while looking at his eyes. He may not be the son she and Regina raised back then but he is still Henry. He is still her son. The Evil Queen went closer to him and pulled him into her arms. She let him cry to her. It is the only thing she can do. Then, he pulled back from her.
"Do you think she's okay? Do you think she's happy?" he asked her.
The Evil Queen smiled.
"Yes, I think so…and you know what will her make happier? For you to continue being the great son that you are. All she, we, wanted for you is to be kind, brave, and happy. That alone will make her happier and me as well", she answered. Henry felt a little better. "If you ever miss her, you can always come to me. It's time we spend some time together", she added and it made Henry smile.
Zelena watches them from the corner with a smile on her face. She looked at her sister's body for a second then looked up.
"I hope you're seeing this, sis. This is incredible", she muttered.
Regina opened her eyes and saw white. Everything is white. She sat right up and realized her dress is also white. She got out of the bed and went out the room. The place is amazing. She hasn't been there before but she already likes it.
"Hello?" she called.
"You're awake. It's about time", Cora said from behind her.
She quickly turned around and saw her mother smiling at her. Regina to her and hugged her tight.
"Mother…I missed you so much", she said and it made Cora laughed.
"I missed you too, dear", she replied and the two pulled back from each other.
"Zelena says hi", Regina remembered the message from her sister and it made her mother smile.
She then heard someone coming in. She waited until she saw her father joins them.
"Daddy…" she muttered and he pulled her to his arms.
"I missed you, sweetheart", he said.
She looked at the two of them and they looked exactly the way she remembered them. She's overflowing with joy until she noticed the way her mother looks at her.
"What? Is there something wrong?" she asked.
Cora only gestured her to look behind her which she obeyed. She froze when she saw Robin standing there. It's not any other Robin. It's her Robinhood. They walked towards each other and shared a kiss.
"Was it you that day? At that pub when you gave me the red feather?" she asked.
"Yes. That was me. I had to pull a lot of strings to talk to you but it's worth it", he answered.
"I can't believe this is real now. Please tell me I will never lose you again", she said.
Robin gently touched her face.
"You will never lose me again", he said.
Few months passed since Regina's death, the New United Realms proclaimed Snow White to be their new queen. Although reluctant to accept the title, she knows Regina would've wanted it and she is determined to do her best to honor her stepmother and friend.
Zelena still runs the bar in Hyperion Heights but is now living permanently at the mansion with young Henry. Sometimes, Henry will spend nights with Emma and the Charmings and sometimes, he will visit the Evil Queen and Wish Realm's Robinhood at the Enchanted Forest.
"Come on, Henry. We will be late", Zelena called her nephew outside the mansion.
Henry came out with his backpack.
"What's all that?" she asked.
"Essentials…we never know what we night need", he answered.
"You do remember I have magic, right? I can just magic anything you like", she asked and it made him laugh.
Emma and the Charmings arrived with their things too.
"So are we going to do this?" she asked.
Zelena smiled.
"Of course…let's go to Oz", she answered.
Meanwhile, Regina smiled while watching them head towards Oz in a fountain at the garden of her new home. They are moving on with their lives and they are happy which is making her happier.
"Regina! Come on, your mother's done in the kitchen. Prince Henry is requesting for you to make your killer lasagna", Robin called.
She smiled and then laughed.
"I'll be right there!" she answered and then looked at the paradise she's in. She took a deep sign and then smiled. "Have fun in Oz everyone", she muttered and then went inside the house.
