Chapter 7 Magic.
After Elizabeth and Gideon's conversation ended Elizabeth sent her companion Hazel to go and fetch Prue, Robin and Rick.
Prue and Robin were the easiest to find because no one had moved them from where she kidnapped Gideon from.
Rick, on the other hand, was harder to find but not impossible and he couldn't fight against her pixie dust!
The five teens arrive at the unmarked mansion and Hazel leads the four other teens behind her which just follow her by floating after her.
Hazel leads the teens into the back garden where Elizabeth and Gideon are standing.
Hazel's pixie dust soon fades and with it, Rick lands softly on the ground along with Robin and Prue.
"Gideon, what's going on this pixie just kidnapped me,"? Rick demands to know.
"It's okay Rick long story short Hazel is my great aunt Elizabeth's companion and she brought us here so Elizabeth can help us get home before the Black Fairy can hurt you guys," Gideon explained.
"Are you sure we can trust Elizabeth and Hazel we've never seen or heard of them before"? Rick asks.
"It's going to sound crazy but I think trusting her is the best thing we could ever do she can teach us how magic works here I don't want Fiona to hurt you guys trying to get to me," Gideon says.
"We haven't got much time until Fiona learns of you being here," Elizabeth replied as she makes a waving gesture at both Robin and Prue sending a magical wave that causes the two girls Robin and Prue to awaken.
"Where are we" Prue and Robin demand to know as they awaken.
"You're safe Hazel brought us to a witch that can help us get home," Rick said.
"That fairy threw a sleeping potion at us," Prue snaps.
"I was under orders to bring Gideon to Elizabeth alone you wouldn't allow that," Hazel pointed out defending herself.
"Can we put that aside I'm okay everyone okay Elizabeth has offered to teach us magic and help us find what we need to get back to Storybrooke," Gideon said
"Fine, how do we use our magic here,"? Robin asks as she and Prue stand on their own feet.
"Excellent let's begin," Elizabeth says.
Learning to use magic proved hard for the three teens who were born with magic Robin, Prue and Gideon.
Since Rick was born with no magic and is just a werewolf he trained with Hazel in sword fighting and hand to hand combat.
"Right dears the first step to learning to use your magic in the Lost Realm is to understand your magic centre," Elizabeth said.
"Magic centre"? Gideon, Robin and Prue replied in unison.
"Your magic centre is where your magic comes from its origin everyone origin is different but can be similar to others," Elizabeth explained.
"What's your magic centre,"? Gideon asked.
"My magic centre is my bound me and Miranda, Lydia shared before they died," Elizabeth says.
"How do we find our magic centre,"? Robin questions Elizabeth.
"It can years to find your magic centre but with the spirit quest, you can find your magic centre," Elizabeth spoke.
"So let's take the quest we need our magic to get back home and protect ourselves," Prue says.
"The quest will be difficult the potion I'm about to give you will send you deep into your subconscious only there will you find the key to unlocking your magic centres," Elizabeth replies.
"Let's do it" Gideon spoke and not shortly after Elizabeth gives them each a small bottle of the potion to take which they do and the three teens quickly find themselves falling unconscious.
Robin is the first to awaken deep in her a world forged by her subconscious.
The world her subconscious created for Robin spirit quest to take place is Sherwood Forest and Robin finds herself at a camp site and isn't alone a tall figure is sat down on a damp log and Robin gasps upon seeing him!
Robin looks at the figure more closely to realise the figure the quest has brought to her is a tall man and none other than wearing a white shirt with green leather and brown trousers.
"It can't be," Robin shouts as she walks up to the man who looks up to her and Robin Hood Mills knowing the man is one person she lived without her whole life, Robin Hood!
"Well, look who it is Robin, my sweet girl," Robin Hood spoke upon looking at his daughter.
"Daddy," Robin cries as she hugs her father with an ever so tight grip.
"I haven't seen you since you were a baby you're more beautiful than I imagined," Robin Hood says as he looks his daughter over.
"Why no how are you here,"? Robin asks.
"I don't know but how I've missed you," Robin Hood said.
"I've... missed you too Daddy I think the spirit quest brought you here," Robin replies.
"Spirit Quest Robin what have you gotten yourself into,"? Robin Hood asked.
"It's complicated Dad but I'm taking the Spirit Quest to find my magic centre so I can help me and my friends get home," Robin explained.
"Well, Robin you have really grown up to be everything I've expected and more going on a Spirit Quest you're a hero," Robin Hood replied smiling.
"A hero no I'm not a hero they would do the same for me," Robin mumbled feeling so happy her father is proud of her.
"Hero or no hero you're one incredible friend, my daughter," Robin Hood spoke before kissing his daughter on her forehead causing a powerful wave of light magic to be released by Robin who awakens from the Spirit Quest in Elizabeth's garden.
"Robin are you okay,"? Elizabeth questions Robin as she helps her stand on her own two feet.
"I know my magic centre," Robin declared.
"What is it, my child,"? Elizabeth asks.
"The love my father had no has for me has never left me his love lives on in me," Robin replies.
"One back only two to go," Elizabeth said.
Prue was the second to awaken in a world forged by her subconscious.
Prue finds herself in her old childhood bedroom back in OZ.
Prue upon realising where she is running to the bedroom door to find it locked and all a sudden Prue hears soft cries!
"No, no anywhere but here" Prue shouts.
"Who... are you,"? A small six-year-old girl asks.
"Oh, no I'm it doesn't matter I'm a friend" Prue lied as she approaches the crying girl on the cold tiled floor.
"What's your name,"? The little girl asked.
"My name is Prue and you need a tissue," Prue says as she reaches for the tissue box on the little girl's dresser and she hands a tissue to the girl who thanks her and then little girl wipes the tears off her face.
"Your name is Prue too," Little Prue said.
"Yes and we both have a lot in common," Prue spoke
"No, we don't," Little Prue snaps.
"Yes, we do we both know what's like to lose somebody we care about like our mom," Prue whispered shedding a single tear.
"My Mommy can't be dead... my Mommy wouldn't leave me," Little Prue screams while throwing the box of tissues at older Prue!
"Sweetie, Mom she didn't have a choice she was sick," Prue says as moves closer to her younger self despite little Prue's protest.
"I just want my Mommy and Daddy needs her too," Little Prue cries out.
"Listen to me just because Mom has died doesn't mean her love for you and Dad hasn't and she and the love she has for us lives on inside of us," Prue replied as she put her arms around her younger self.
"How do you know her love lives on inside of us,"? Little Prue questions.
"Easy, it's because we're her daughter," Prue said with a smile.
"Daughter but I don't have a sister," Little Prue pointed out confused at her older self's comment.
"You don't have a sister but I know you're going to get through this because we already have and I think the Spirit Quest brought here to remind me of what I lost but what can be reclaimed," Prue spoke.
"Wait are you saying you're me," Little Prue said.
"Yes and what I lost is what you're about to lose the compassion mother had for us the compassion she taught me to share with other people," Prue replies hugging her younger self-causing like Robin a wave of magic to be released before she wakes up and is pulled onto her own two feet by Elizabeth and Robin.
"You're awake," Robin commented.
"Compassion is my centre I lost compassion over time after my mother died I became too focused on keeping my father alive for my sake I forgot how to use compassion to help people and him," Prue spoke.
"Gideon hasn't woken up yet I fear him finding his centre will be harder," Elizabeth replies.
Gideon is the last to awaken in the world his sub conscious forged by the Spirit Quest request.
Gideon awakens in a place not many but only Dark Ones have been to the Idyllic Garden which the vault of the Dark One houses!
Gideon has no idea where the Spirit Quest has taken him and quickly searches his surroundings with his eyes and is mortified to see countless corpses lying on the ground in all kinds of states.
Gideon can see a waterfall that instead of having falling water has liquid darkness.
"Where am I,"? Gideon asks himself.
"Welcome to the Idyllic Garden boy," A voice ever so familiar to Gideon said Gideon turns to find the voice and is shocked to see his father's Enchanted Forest counterpart Rumplestiltskin as the Dark One.
"You're not my father," Gideon says.
"Of course I am dearie we are bound through the Darkness we share and as your father, I'm disappointed that Gold destroyed us on our plane," The Dark One's darkness said.
"My papa destroyed you on our plane so we could stop Walsh from trying to kill me for my power," Gideon snaps.
"And where did that power come from boy me the
ultimate darkness," The Dark One's darkness replies.
"The Spirit Quest must have sent me here I need to find my magic centre to stop Fi..." Gideon said but before he can finish his sentence someone else finishes it for him!
"To stop me how pathetic has my bloodline become that they can't see that you, Rumple and Baelfire along with Henry returning to me is inevitable," Black Fairy says with venom in her voice Gideon turns to face the Spirit Quest's projection of his grandma.
"You, Fiona my Spirit Quest brought you here," Gideon shouts.
"No, I am merely a projection of her, you want to find your magic centre so you can escape the Lost Realm before me outside your subconscious can learn of you being there," Black Fairy replied.
"Then you can't hurt me so stay out of my way," Gideon snapped at the Black Fairy.
"You won't find your magic centre without our help," Black Fairy spoke with a smug smile on her face.
"I can try I'm strong enough," Gideon says.
"I know you think you're strong Gideon but you aren't I've spent centuries collecting outcasts like you," Black Fairy replies.
"Shut up right I need to think the Spirit Quest brought me here for a reason I just need to figure out why the altar there something on the altar," Gideon yells as he runs to the altar where previous Dark Ones used to place the Dark One's dagger for protection Gideon sees instead of the altar being empty on closer inspection there a photo frame with a picture of himself, Rick and Robin sat down on Rick's bed after Rick's fourteenth birthday party.
"What a sickening photo to be put on an altar you haven't sacrificed them yet for the greater evil," The Dark One's darkness commented.
"I would never sacrifice my friends for the greater evil," Gideon spoke.
"I thought I would never choose power over love," Black Fairy said as Gideon picks up the photo from the altar and finds himself transported from the Idyllic Garden to the Spirit Quest's version of Granny's diner!
Gideon upon finding himself at the new location also finds himself wearing a black suit and tie with black trousers.
Gideon sees no sign of Fiona or the Dark One's darkness and is relieved.
Before Gideon can notice anything more about how much detail the Spirit Quest has taken from the diner in Storybrooke Gideon hears a voice he only heard for a few times before.
"You look handsome," Hazel says who in the Spirit Quest is wearing a white dress that has a floral pattern Gideon turns to face Hazel only to see the Spirit Quest has created a projection of himself wearing a black cloak.
"Not for long," The Spirit Quest's projection of Gideon chuckled before he ripped out Hazel that was created by the Spirit Quest and crushes her heart causing her to fall to the ground dead!
"NO," Gideon shouts after seeing the Spirit Quest's projection of Hazel die with his very hands Gideon goes running to Hazel but is grabbed by his evil double.
"You wanted to know the centre of your magic well here it is darkness is your centre you're the child of darkness generations of darkness runs through your veins and the pain along with suffering of the people you love is the centre of your magic also accept and you be unstoppable accept the darkness," The Spirit Quest's projection of Gideon explained with a wicked smile.
"No, it can't be my centre can't be something so horrible," Gideon snaps.
"It is boy accept it let the darkness that you were born with into your heart and soul," The Spirit Quest's projection of Gideon shouts as he grabs the real Gideon ever so tight.
"No, never I won't accept something so horrible and cruel," Gideon screams and does something impossible Gideon forces himself to awaken from the Spirit Quest without becoming one with his magic centre!
Gideon upon waking from the Spirit Quest is breathing heavily and his two friends Rick and Robin help him onto his feet.
Hazel and Rick stopped sword fighting about ten minutes after Prue woke up from the quest and have waited for Gideon to awaken.
"Gideon, what's your magic centre"? Rick asked.
"Magic Centre, well... I didn't find it," Gideon lied.
"That's impossible you couldn't have woken up from the Spirit Quest without finding and becoming one with your magic centre," Elizabeth said.
"Well, there a first time for everything," Gideon replied.
"Gideon, why aren't you telling us what's the centre of your magic it can't be that bad,"?
"I couldn't find my magic centre I need some air and some time alone," Gideon shouts as he storms out of Elizabeth's back garden and walks off the unmarked mansion grounds.
"Follow him Hazel don't let him go too far I need to finish their training," Elizabeth instructed despite Robin, Rick and Prue's protest Hazel follows the instruction and quickly catches up with Gideon.
