Two Days Later

Mr. Gold had taken the two days the boys mothers had been gone to teach him all there is do about the quill. Meanwhile, the turmoil in the boy's head gradually stopped, the lighter side having temporarily hidden in a corner of the child's mind, still acting as a conscience. Isaac, meanwhile, searched through the boy's ambitions, all he loved and held dear, all he aspired to be, and gradually started inputting himself into the subconscious. Becoming the boy, more or less. He still had his own feelings, but they were semisepressed. With Isaac as his subconscious, Henry gradually became more like his grandfather and less like his mother. Evil and ambitious, instead of the Good and friendliness he used to strive for. And the minute his mothers came back into town, him and his grandfather were ready to spring their trap, until they realised that Emma hadn't killed Lily while she was in New York. Instead she brought her back. Gold's health worsened after that, he could barely function. He did manage to tell Henry that the dark blood in Lily would work, because it was technically dark saviour blood. And so, the freshly created dark ambition knew what to do. He left the cabin, Gold's magic fading, and set out to find his other mother. when he did it took all the voice had not to give into the boy's childish actions of bragging to his mother that he was the Author and could help her. Instead, he carefully manipulated her into thinking the old Author was still alive, and pushed her into figuring out how to get ink. Only to initiate a dragon attack. But the boy didn't mind. He proceeded to knock out his mother, steal the ink, and begin his new story. A story with all happy endings granted, all except his own. But as Isaac worked through the boy to right his own happy ending, the voice that had hidden in the light burst forth. And while it couldn't attack Isaac directly, and it couldn't stop what was already written, it could allow some people to keep their memories. But with such short notice, it only managed to save Emma and Rumple before being shut out again. And so, the new story was written. Isaac even locked Emma up in the new world and gave Rumple the best life possible while at the same time mending his heart, a deal's a deal, right? And as everyone was swept away, Isaac started writing the new life he would live through Henry.

In the former cell of Rumplestiltskin

Emma woke up in what was most definitely terrible situation possible. Back in the Enchanted Forest, stuck in the cell of the Dark One. She hoped that didn't mean what she suspected it to mean. But before she could dwell on that, a knight walked in front of her cell, took off his helmet, and revealed the face of the former Dark One.
