We searched throughout the land for the legendary book of Analain. According to the tales, the book of Analain knew everything. Quite literally. These were tales I knew to be true. I had to find the book, it was necessary for the job I had to complete in the Enchanted Forest. I had been hoping for Belle to help me, as she was motivated by her love of books and her intelligence would be an asset, but alas, she had forgotten about my existence. The family tree I found myself in was a very confusing one. I found a piece of dirt in the ground and attempted to draw it out with a stick. I put Henry at the base, my nephew, who I wanted to meet rather badly. I then put his parents, Emma and Bae. He had been adopted by Regina, so I put her too. Regina's mother was Cora, and her father was Prince Henry. I placed them on the tree. One of my powers was being able to trace a person's geneology back several generations, but this tree confused even me. I put Emma's parents, Snow White and Prince Charming. I drew the line connecting Snow and Regina. I then traced back Snow's parents, Eva and Leopold. Prince Charming's parents were shepherds, Ruth and a man who's name I couldn't place. He had been engaged to Abigail, the daughter of Midas, who loved Frederick. He also had a twin brother, who had been adopted by King George and his wife. I added them to the tree. I then turned to Bae's side of the tree. I put in his parents, one of whom, of course, was my own mother. Next to Rumpelstiltskin I put Belle, as well as a line to show that he had previously dated Cora, and next to my Mama I put my Papa. I then drew a line down to me. I drew another sideways line, adding Charlotte to the tree. Then I traced back to see what I had missed, and found that the woman in the castle, Zelena, was Cora's daughter. The father's identity was shielded by magic. By the time I was done, Charlotte had returned from getting water.
"Hi Elizabeth", she said.
"Hey, Charlotte."
"What are you drawing? A bunch of squiggly lines?"
I laughed. "No, actually, my family tree."
"Wow. It's complicated. So, shall we continue on our quest?"
"To find the book of Analain? Yes we should."
As we searched through every corner of the land, I couldn't help but wonder if we should check Analain itself. It was an old kingdom, forgotten by time, and it was said the book had been pillaged from there, but perhaps it was a lie. Perhaps the book was still in Analain. Of course, no one knew where Analain was. Only the Oracle of Seaia knew, and she didn't answer anyone's questions without a price. Everyone knew where she was, of course. Right by the Forbidden Sea. Charlotte and I decided to make camp for the night, and in the morning we began the 3-hour journey to the Forbidden Sea. We found the cave of the Oracle of Seaia, and slowly, hesitantly, we entered.
"Welcome, travelers? What query do you have?"
"We would like to know the location of the Lost Kingdom of Analain."
"The Lost Kingdom of Analain? Well, I do have that information, but it comes at a cost."
"What do you want?"
"Your word. That you will not reveal the location of Analain to anyone."
"Fair enough."
"It is a day's walk due north to the Daisy Cove, then a week's journey east to the Everglades, then another 3 day's journey northeast to Amber Meadow, at the center of which you will find a portal to Analain."
"Thank you, Oracle."
"You're welcome. Remember our deal. Break it, either of you, and you will die."
"We understand", said Charlotte.
With that, we began on our journey to find the book of Analain.
A/N: I hope you liked it! Please review! P.S. I promise there is a reason for Elizabeth stopping to map out the entire family tree.
