Neal had been watching over Emma as she slept David and Mary Margaret were cooking breakfast for everyone down stairs she had told them he would watch over Emma until she woke up, he noticed the mark on her forehead wondering what happened for her to get it. All they knew was that she went after Greg and Tamara on her broomstick and came back like this, The seekers had gone to the line and saw that the van Greg and Tamara used to get away was crashed into a tree but Greg and Tamara were absent from the vehicle only the driver remained. Dead.

Snow had taken off Emma's ring and kept it with her, she knew Emma wasn't going to go anywhere without it. This was an insurance that Emma would talk to them and not to face Pan alone.

Gold had told them the ring was for Emma to help her use some of the Savior's powers unlike when she has it off she only can simple magic like Regina and Gold can do.

Neal watched as Emma continued to sleep, her dreams she had now since she had grown up over the years turned into dreams that were empty and was deprived of imagination and hope. Emma had chosen to grow up to find her parents to become a person..better than the child 'The Seekers' remembered...she had to be someone else to become someone else...she grew up, The Seekers noticed this and so did someone else she had never met before face to face..

This time was different Emma found her self in a hallway it was dark but had some light at the end of it seeping out through a door. Emma went towards it, she twisted the doorknob and entered the room for it was painted white and there was a women in a white wooden chair drawing in a sketch pad. On the sketch pad it showed the door to the room they were in and a blonde women coming through the door. Emma stared at the women who had a very light brown hair and blue eyes, she reminded her of some one she had met before.

The women put down the sketch pad into her lap, she smiled at Emma looking at her. "I have been waiting to meet you Emma"

"Who are you?" Emma steps closer to her to talk trying to remember where she has seen her before, she notices the drawing on the sketch pad.

"My name is Lily, we have never met before face to face"Lily replies noticing Emma trying to think as she looks at her face.

"You look familiar, like we have met before but you say we haven't"

"You haven't met me before this is only what I want you to see, this dream is nothing but an idea that I put in your head"

"Why did you want to met me?"

"You must know already, your special Emma. Your unlike anyone in all the realms, but then again we know your not normal"

"Because I'm the Savior" Emma scoffs at the thought, another person telling her that she was important and the savior.

"No you're not the Savior...well not yet at least" Lily flipped a page in her sketch pad to a new one, she started drawing on it.

"What's is that supposed to mean?"

"You'll find out when the time is right Emma" Lily continued to draw, she drew a bed and a brown-haired man sitting next to it in a wooden chair looking towards it.

"People told me I'm the Savior, how can I not be?"

"So they say, you're the Savior"Lily continues to draw, this time she draws the bottom half of Emma's body sleeping on the bed, next to the man.

"Okay if I am not the Savior, then who am I?" Emma hand to her head in a sigh, giving up with this conversation.

"Right now your Emma Swan, my adoptive sister. Don't lose sight of your light Emma" Lily finishes drawing Emma's top half of her body,with Emma's eyes open before Emma could say something back with the new knowledge.

Emma's electrifying hazel eye's shot open as she woke up, it happened so quickly she didn't get to say anything. Neal got up from his chair and sat down on the edge of the bed near Emma who was looking around and taking deep breaths, Neal moved a strand of hair behind her ear trying to comfort her which worked for Emma started to relax knowing she wasn't taken again by those murders.

"Your okay we took you Home-" Neal told her trying to reassure her she was safe and everything was okay, Emma didn't say anything still thinking about what had happened. Emma looked around them at her bedroom in confusion "Where's Nathaniel and-"

"Nathaniel and the other's are guarding the apartment, so far no one from the outside has entered the town since they retreated last night"

They stayed there in silence for a minute.

"Are you Hungry?"

"Yeah, did my mom make breakfast?" Emma slowly stood up from the bed with Neal's help and towards the stairs. Neal followed her down the stairs and guided her to the living room table, they sat down. Emma just stared at the wall while Neal received looks from Emma's parents, they were silently asking question to which he didn't have the answers to.

Snow walked over to the dining room table with coffee and orange juice for them, while David made pancakes in the kitchen. Snow place them on the dining room table, she sat down after and faced Emma blocking her view of the wall.

"How are you feeling?" Emma turned away from Snow's face so she didn't look her in the eye. "I'm Fine"

"That's not what I asked, its like your somewhere else"

"Just some dream sorry"

"What was it about?"

"Nothing it's silly" Emma tried to shrug it off as nothing, but all of them knew things with Emma were never just 'nothing'.

Nathaniel had come in through the front door quietly no one noticing him, he had just walked in when Emma mentioned that she saw something. "Nothing is silly Emma, what was it about?"

"There was this women she said her name was Lily" Emma said simply not knowing the effect of her words on her friend. Nathaniel stilled his movements on the wooden apartment floor in the middle closer to the group getting caught up in a memory, a promise he had never since forgotten not even for a single minute...

"Lily, I will come back for you no matter what happens" Nathaniel approached her calmly knowing what he had said was true. He stood in front of her for a second then kissed her on the lips passionately and lovingly.

He pressed his head against hers, they stood like that for a minute. They both knew they had to part ways even if it was for a little while.

"I know you always do, please be safe I don't know what I would do without you"

"I will I'll have Alexander and Elizabeth with me and then soon..." Lily put her hand cupping the side of Nathaniel face looking into his eyes, trying to hold off tears.

"Emma...find her and help her remember who she is and was Nathaniel. Protect her to your best ability she will need guidance"

"I know, I will always guard her with my life. I'm her protector it's my duty remember" Lily smiled at him sadly, he put his arms around her hips.

"Bring my sister back to us"

"I will,The Savior will defeat Crane and finally bring us and the others to our Home. "

"We will meet up in Storybrooke after she receives the implanted memory and we will be together again...I promise" Lily told him trying to reassure herself as well, before they kissed once more...

Nathaniel snapped out of the memory to present time, he was now set on a mission for he made a promise to the women he loved and now was the time to fulfill it. Nathaniel slowly walked over to the door , they all watched him as he did so.

"Lily what a beautiful name" Nathaniel whispered with care,then left the apartment saying no more words.

Nathaniel walked outside the apartment where Alexander was and nodded to him before taking out a cellphone dialing the number he so desperately wanted to call since he left. He would have called her every hour, but he knew it would be traced by the council; This cellphone he was using only was capable of making one call before it was useless making it impossible for anyone to trace even the Council or Pan himself.

The cellphone rang as it dialed the number, on the other end someone picked up. "It's finally time to bring the Savior back...Lily"

He swore he could imagine her smiling and silently crying on the other end. "I Finally get to meet my sister, after all this time"

The door closed behind Nathaniel, they all wondered why he acted as such but let it go. They all sat there until Snow spoke breaking the silence, and making Emma's head snap towards her direction away from her sight of the place Nathaniel had left.

"Well you must be hungry, I made pancakes for everyone. Me and David already ate but we could sit with you and talk" Snow got up and retrieved the plates for Neal and Emma to eat, she made sure she put fruit on Emma's.

Emma took her plate from Snow "Thanks" then set it down on the table, she was handed a fork by Neal who smiled at her the way she started to eat the food. Snow and David sat drinking coffee and watching Emma and Neal eat waiting for one of them to speak.

Snow saw that a conversation wasn't going to happen unless her or David said something so she did.

"I happened to remember it is someone's birthday this week. I know were in the beginning of what looks like a war, but we really want to celebrate it" Emma kept her head down and her eyes looking at her pancakes, she said nothing for a second then finally amassed enough courage to speak.

"I don't know, maybe. This is going to be after the wedding if there ever is one" Neal looked towards his fiancée knowing how she felt, he reached his hand over and gripped her's comforting her silently.

"There will be Em, there's no doubt in my mind there won't be one because there will"

"Your right,I have to get moving and check the town with Nathaniel, Elizabeth, and Alexander to see if any part of the Council is staying in town somewhere. If they are we need drive them out and you three need to train with as many in town who are willing to fight, because who are we kidding when Pan comes your going to need all the help we can get"

"Alright, when do we start?"

In the next hour everyone got dressed and left the apartment; Snow and David had gathered up the towns people and friends who wanted to fight. They met the with The Seekers at the edge of the forest until they soon guided everyone to their temporary HQ they set up as escorts.

As they were walking in the woods Emma held Neal's hand, they reached the HQ and noticed there was a huge tent in camouflage color to blend with the forest undetectable to the human eye.

There was obstacles connected to the forest's tree's, practice dummies, archery targets, and a sparing ring with every weapon you could think of from all realms.

They stopped walking in front of the tent and looked around, Nathaniel then spoke.

"Alright we are going to test everyone to see what can be improved, and what we can teach you. You all will be going with Elizabeth and Alexander, Emma you will come with me" Most of the people of which was a crowd of people who followed Alexander and Elizabeth to start including Charming, Snow and Neal.

Emma went over to Nathaniel who smiled kindly and then hugged her, she hugged him back. They stayed like that for a minute before separating, Nathaniel gestured in the direction he wanted to walk towards with her.

Snow, David, and Neal watched from a far watching the interaction between the two they still didn't know enough about these 'friends' of Emma's but Emma had trusted them completely right away so them it was a sign that she was safe.

Nathaniel and Emma started walking, Nathaniel put his hands behind his back like a solider as he walked. "How are you feeling, do you feel weak? strong?"

"Sometimes I feel weak around you guys, but it fades away like it never happened..why?"

"Just curious" Nathaniel brushed it off like no big deal trying to show her that his question had no meaning, when it indeed did.

"How come I only remembered you guys when I saw you, why not before?" Emma felt guilty like she had forgotten them, but it was entirely not her fault.

"Something I can not tell, you have to figure that one out on your own Emma. Thankfully that will be soon"

"How soon, how do you guys know so much stuff about training and magic and what's with your association with the Council?"

"We grew up, and along the way have discovered many things. Me Alex and Lizzy went to different realms, our adventures with each other were everything and brought us closer as a family" Nathaniel's eyes sparked with Memories making him smile at them, they traveled so many places, made allies and friends, and became a family.

Emma couldn't explain it but she felt something inside her tugging at her subconscious at the words different realms and adventures. Nathaniel noticed a look come over Emma's face, then a lone tear fell down her face. Nathaniel wiped it away, Emma didn't even know she had started to cry. It was like a deep feeling that her body knew but her mind did not.

"Why do I feel like there is so much more to that story than just adventures, magic and realms" They continued to walk into the forest away from the HQ, Nathaniel pondered about telling her, his emotions told him not to but his heart already knew that he must.

"Because there is, you just don't know yet.." Nathaniel stared at her with his golden brown eyes. "..but you will and I know this because I made a promise to someone I love.. someone you will love once you meet them I guarantee"

"Who?"

"My wife, she's coming to town...and she going to help you get back what you are missing"

"You're Married, when did that happen?" Emma smiled at him, which made Nathaniel smile back he shook his head chuckling. Even when she wasn't the same Emma him and his brother and sister knew, she still was in sense forthcoming and getting straight to what was on her mind.

"Two years.." he scoffed with a smile remembering how Lily looked in that dress. "..we married in the fall, you would have gotten an invitation but it was a rather quick ceremony "

"Congratulations, I wonder if I will be able do even do that" Nathaniel and Emma walked over to tree log in the forest to sit down.

"Get Married, of course you can. It's doesn't matter about the timing, it just matters what you feel inside your heart and you just know when the right time is the right time"

Emma took his hand in hers and squeezed it with a smile, he smiled back at her then remembered why he took her out her.

Nathaniel let go of her hand and stood up and looked around the forest speaking "Now that we are out here, I want you to meet someone who know's you well enough. All you have to do is whistle, and he'll come.. he always does"

"Really whistle" Emma seemed skeptical as she looked at him, she stood up as well wondering what he was looking for.

"Just try, come on Em take a chance"

Emma then looked out at the forest, she closed her eyes then whistled. The whistle was loud, something Emma did not know she could physically do. There was breeze blow through the area around them, like the forest was being woken up from sleep. The tree's moved in the wind almost as if they were dancing, she opened her eyes to see all of this, then the sunlight cast upon the tree's making a ray of light stretch the length of two tree's that were side to side.

Nathaniel looked where Emma was looking and saw it as well, he smiled knowing what was happening. Emma was using magic just by whistling, she in a sense woke up storybrooke and connected it to her magic.

Emma watched slowly as a shiny white horn attached to something poked out from the two tree's as if it were an arch way. Then she started to see the horn was attached to something and it was moving, it was white. It had walked out of nothing from between the two tree's. The sunlight ray then dissipated making hem able to see what had come out from between the two tree's, as soon as they could see it; it had shaken its head huffing then slowly approached Emma.

The unicorn circled around Emma who was too shocked to move at what she was seeing, the horse looked to be examining her and sizing her up. The unicorn looked Emma in the eyes, it was like he recognized her almost. The unicorn then did something Emma did not expect, it bowed it head to her almost like in respect and acceptance.

Nathaniel was across from them grinning, he saw that he bowed to Emma. Noticing her not knowing what to do he then spoke what they should do since Emma's horse now was in storybrooke with her.

"We should take him to be saddled up, you should get some practice in on him"

"What! you expect me to ride this thing, I don't even know how I'll probably break him"

"He know's you won't and he has a name. It's Reon and he belong's and services you and only you"

"Okay, then let's get Reon here saddled up" Emma finally agreed looking at the unicorn eyeing him up and down, Emma then turned to walk back towards the HQ where everyone else was training and being tested. The unicorn huffed then followed her trotting, Nathaniel then followed them chuckling to himself at the two.

Snow was being taught techniques that she didn't even know existed, so was everyone else. Snow spared with Charming and then took a break with everyone else, Elizabeth and Alexander provided everyone with water bottles. They were all sitting down relaxing and taking a break when Snow noticed her daughter stride out from the forest with... a unicorn? she blinked then looked again and it was still there following her daughter with Nathaniel behind it.

"Charming look" Snow nudged him to look towards Emma and Nathaniel,he looked which grabbed the attention of Neal as well. They all looked at Emma, The Unicorn, and Nathaniel; Nathaniel had found a saddle and started fixing it on the unicorn.

Nathaniel was putting the saddle on and got no complaint's from Reon as he did so, Emma stood near by with her arms crossed. He soon finished and then took the rein's of the horse and brought him to an open area in the clearing where HQ was, where she was in view of everyone.

The group taking the break were all watching, Alexander and Elizabeth pointed to Reon knowingly. They smiled as if they knew a hidden secret just between them. Snow watched as Emma acted and talked to Nathaniel, poor boy wanted her daughter to actually get on the horse.

Nathaniel let go of the rein's freeing the unicorn and walked over to Emma who followed them and stood a few feet away. "I know you don't think you can do it, but I know more than anything you can. All you got to do is believe it and it will happen"

"Fine, what do I do?"

"Say his name"Nathaniel whispered playfully to her, then walked away towards Alexander and Elizabeth. Everyone waited wondering what was going on, only three really knew.

Emma un-crossed her arms, then looked at the unicorn who stood there breathing waiting like everyone else for Emma to make the first move.

Emma put her hands to her side's showing she wasn't afraid, she then said what the unicorn waited to hear.

"Reon" Emma said clearly and smoothly as if she had said a thousand and one times. The unicorn slowly moved towards her then bowed his head still moving towards her, and instinctively she reached out and pet him. Reon scratched the ground happily, looked at Emma then moved away. He then started to circle Emma then stop on the side of her where she was standing.

Emma didn't really think at what was happening, she just did what her heart was telling her. She stood there then, she heard something almost like how Seraphina began to speak but with a different accent.

"Hop on" Emma then walked over to Reon and got on him skillfully like she had done so in her sleep. Emma didn't even register she was on the horse until she actually sat on the saddle.

Emma finally noticed the saddle, it had an intricate design with flower's carved into the leather of the saddle. Emma took the rein's in her hands, and she just basically sat there.

Alexander and Elizabeth sneakily got on their horse's without anyone noticing them, which wasn't hard because most eye's were on Emma and Reon. Nathaniel walked over to Snow, David, and Neal staying with them.

Elizabeth galloped over to Emma's family and Nathaniel and spoke "Let's play!"Elizabeth then galloped over to where Emma was on her horse, breaking Emma out of her thought's on Reon.

"Bet you can't catch me Emmy" Emma's head shot up, she instantly smiled feeling a burst of familiarity go through out her. Elizabeth then took off into the wood's with a grin on her face knowing what Emma would do.

Everyone didn't expect Emma to react as she did. "Want to bet, I'm gonna get you Lizzy!" Emma then quickly took off in a gallop after her, Reon moved so quickly and beautifully. Emma chased after Elizabeth through the forest, for at least five minutes before she caught up to her. They stopped in heavy breathing and laughter, Elizabeth felt such a rush come back into her reminding her of old times.

"We should head back, before anyone worries. Especially since it will start to get dark soon" Emma looked and noticed the sun gong down, she nodded.

"Alright, let's go"They trotted back to HQ and talked.

"How do you know how to ride a horse?"

Elizabeth didn't know how to answer and how much to tell her, so she decided with nothing.

"It isn't that hard, you rode a horse just know. Did you know how to ride?" Elizabeth knew that Emma definitely know's how to ride a horse, but this Emma doesn't remember any of that.

"Okay,Nathaniel told me you him and Alex went to different realms and went on adventures. How is that possible, the last time I saw you guys was when they sent me to a new foster home then after that to a new orphanage"

Elizabeth knew that when they tampered with Emma's memories that she only would remember what was left over. They did get separated from each other, they did have their adventure's only she didn't remember. Emma, used to remember her dreams until S.H.I.E.L.D learned something and got involved.

One day, S.H.I.E.L.D brought her to their facility after they had discovered the prophecy about her, and how she was to break the curse and defeat the shadow. S.H.I.E.L.D want to guarantee that Emma would give rid of the Shadow, knowing about its threat to their 'world'. So they had to make Emma have no ties to them other than being her only friends that she protected in her first orphanage, they had to make her find her way to Storybrooke leading her on the right path.

Emma was brought to a group home when they took away her memories which was when she turned 16 and was declared free like an other Orphan of the state. They had been following August and observing his every move, and then seeing opportunity had 'helped' August find Emma and knew what he would do to cover himself. When they discovered Emma was pregnant in jail, they used him knowing one day he would want to know why his mother gave him away and go after her especially with the knowledge of a curse and the fact that his mother was suspicious.

From then on all Emma did was on her own, S.H.I.E.L.D had followed her around checking up on her until The Council found them and destroyed them finding The Seeker and kidnapping them until they learned to escape and find Emma to help defeat the Shadow and Council and help her remember and become who she used to and will be.

"It always began with a dream...Thing's happen and change you once the Council find you, even when they know where you've been and who you been with"

"They can all go to hell"

"Trust me they're going some where they will never escape and suffer for all known existence..and it ain't hell my friend...it's worse" Elizabeth said with venom and hatred towards the Council.

"Good"

They reached the HQ silently bonding with one another once more while they were away, for some reason Emma felt close to Elizabeth just like she felt close to Nathaniel earlier. It felt nice, almost like a connection being restored.

They both got off of their horse's which then rode off alone together into the forest disappearing from sight, Emma didn't know what to think. The horse's just took off she would have said something knowing that horse's who run off or anything really that run's off don't come back..but Elizabeth seemed to be used to it and seem unfazed so she deemed it okay and let it go.

Alexander walked over to them with a humble smile, he held two swords in his hands. He handed one to Emma who questioningly took if from him.

"I wanna see how good you are, everyone else got the same thing today. Standard sparing, come on I know you want to be beat me Em you always did love to spar with me"

"You sure, I don't really have that much training as you guys probably do" Emma told them unsure of herself, not knowing what they could do.

"Humor me" Alex shrugged his shoulder's then held out his sword in a stance getting ready.

Emma didn't make any moves, she only held the blade in her hand and looked towards him. Everyone soon gathered around the two in a circle making no escape for Emma and knowing a fight was going to occur, they all wanted to see the Savior fight. Snow, David and Neal came over with everyone as well wanting to make sure Emma did not get hurt.

Alex then took a swing at Emma who was caught of guard but quickly deflected it surprising even her, Alex, Nathaniel, and Elizabeth just grinned. "You trying to kill me!" Alex swung again aim for her neck, but was blocked again by Emma.

"Come on Emma you can do better than that!" Alex provoked her in a joking way, he swung his sword towards her arm which Emma blocked again. Alex quickly swung again which she blocked, he leaned on the sword making it harder for Emma to block the next time he swung.

"Remember what you can do, Savior" Everyone watched as the words made its effect on Emma, he green eye's sparked and her ring glowed a bright white almost like something was awoken or activated. Emma used her strength and pushed him away from her using her sword, Alex was pushed back a couple of feet away.

Emma looked at him with a confident look then walked towards him with a swing in her step. Alex in retaliation swung his sword right at her high, which Emma blocked with her own sword then elbowed him in the head pushing her behind him then kick him in the back causing Alexander to fall.

Emma turned around and saw Alexander on his stomach on the ground and his sword a few inches from his hand on the ground. Emma walked close to him not even caring who was watching or noticing the circle of people watching the whole fight. Alexander flipped himself on his back, he saw Emma standing there and quickly made move to his sword, but before he could Emma waved her sword as it landed very close inches away from Alexander's neck.

Alexander smiled at her acknowledging defeat, Emma lowered her sword and then stook out her hand to help him up. He happily excepted it, when he stood up he patted her shoulder then raised her hand signaling that she had won.

The whole circle cheered at their Savior's victory, Nathaniel came apart from the circle and walked over to his brother and Emma.

"This is just the beginning today we have accomplished much...we all know that Darkness is closing in on all of us but with the Savior here THE LIGHT WILL NEVER GO OUT!" Nathaniel shouted which caused everyone to cheer except Emma who stood there with her own thought's and reminder's of what is to come.

The crowd soon dispersed from the circle and most went home since it was getting late, Emma,Snow, David, and Neal stayed with Alex, Nate and Elizabeth and made their way into the tent. Snow had checked Emma over for any kind of injury after her fight, Emma told her she was fine but that did not stop her mother's worry.

When Snow was done, Emma made her way over to Neal and sat down on the tent's couch. David and Snow were talking to Alexander and Elizabeth about something's she couldn't hear, probably telling them some story.

Nate was on a computer and what looked to be hacking something for information. Emma was sitting on the couch with Neal and leaned into him tired a bit and mostly for his comfort.

Emma would have fell asleep then and there if it weren't for a hoot from an owl outside in the forest. Emma opened her eye's and shifted in Neal's grip, he let her get up but still didn't want her to get up wanting her close to him.

Emma went over to the opening of the tent only noticed by Neal who stood up and made his way over to Snow, David, Alexander and Elizabeth.

Emma stepped out of the camouflaged tent and made her way into the forest behind it, she walked not very far. She reached one of the edges of the forest where she could she the sun set over the forest, Seraphina flew in the sky then toward her.

"Emma I see your back on your feet" Seraphina perched herself on a cut tree stump looking towards her. Emma looked towards her direction noticing her, Emma walked over to the stump and sat on a fallen log next to it. Emma stroked her neck lightly with her finger, the owl made a noise.

"Do you have any advice about what's going to happen, because right now I will listen to about anyone who could help me even in a small way"

"You have to simply remember who you are and who you will be Emma Swan, you are loosing your light and simply must find it before all suffer in the darkness forever"

"Seraphina what is my light?" Emma wanted to know, she has been told about her light by many people and she was tired of not getting full answers.

"That is something for you to figure out on your own with time. Follow your heart Emma Swan" Seraphina then quickly flew off her arm and out the window gliding through the air around the precious magical town in a land without magic.

Emma stood there thinking of Seraphina's words,everyone was telling her the same thing. She would it out on her own, she didn't want to figure it out alone. This Darkness was coming, and for some reason she could feel. She couldn't deny it, it was going to happen among many other things. What was she going to do, she had countless townspeople and these 'friends' who have unlimited faith in her and she doesn't even think she deserves it.

Emma looked on towards the distance with Seraphina next to her, she could see even if it was very small a cloud of black headed towards the town and she could tell it was coming and she had to shine through it.

Through out all of this, Emma thought wondering how could she defeat the Shadow aka the Darkness if she didn't even remember something..who she was and is.

Emma then knew she just had to...she needed to or all will suffer in the darkness forever for the light will get put out.
