Regina and Emma stood in the Mayor's office as Henry explained to them how he happened to find the journal of stories from Anya's Realm. He hadn't read more than the part about her Heart, however – mainly because that was the only part he could read. When he tried reading the other pages the words and letters got all jumbled and he couldn't make head nor tails or it.

At the end of Henry's telling them, Emma held up her hand in a 'hold on' fashion. "Are you saying that Anya is the source of all Light magic?"

"Her heart is," Henry answered. "It's said here that the Source of Light Magic gets reborn again and again and it happened to be Anya. The Source of Dark Magic possesses a person, like what happened with Tinkerbell in her Realm."

"I thought it was just the spell," Regina thought aloud then explained. "I saw Anya casting a spell on her heart like she was trying to heal it. Only it didn't look like a normal heart – it was filled with pure light. I thought it was a side effect of the spell."

Emma needed more clarification so she asked, "What happens if her heart breaks completely?"

Henry regretted to reply, "Then Light Magic will be consumed by Darkness and it will cease to exist forever in any realm or dimension."

"We'll have to make sure that doesn't happen," Emma answered with determination. "Whatever I thought about her before doesn't matter now. We need to keep her heart intact."

"It all started with the death of her True Love, right?" Regina thought aloud. "Do we know who it is? He might be here. It could be a long shot but we all felt like we knew her, maybe they would too."

Henry had thought of that and said it, "I already thought of that. Anya hasn't told anyone and from the pages I can't read, his name isn't mentioned. All we know is that Cora from her Realm ripped out his heart and killed him in front of Anya."

"Just like Daniel," Regina sighed and Henry answered that with, "The other you said the same thing," as he lifted the journal.

Emma still couldn't make sense of something. "The other versions of us were trying to keep her heart intact but they all died, right? Wouldn't they know putting themselves in that kind of harm's way be the thing to break her?"

"As if you wouldn't do the same thing to protect someone you loved?" Regina asked, with a raised brow.

Okay, now Emma got it and her facial expression made that pretty clear.

Knowing her point was made, Regina asked Henry, "Who else knows about this?"

"I only thought I should tell you two," he answered honestly. "I figured the less people to know, the better. In case the Black Fairy found out somehow. And…unless something has changed…Anya doesn't know about her heart holding the Source."

This surprised both his moms but it was Regina who asked, "How can she not know?"

Henry didn't have the answer for that so he shrugged in reply and Emma stated, "If they kept it from her, it must have been for a good reason. We should do the same."

Regina wasn't too sure about that but until she knew more about the circumstances, she agreed.

Anya had gotten a call on the cellular device that she still hated with a passion, despite the convenience of it, and went to Mr Gold's shop. As soon as she walked in, she knew something was going on. "What did I miss when I was helping Zelena defeat Sniglar?"

"What?" Rumple asked, not knowing what she was talking about.

"I didn't name it," Anya answered with a wave of her hand, "A Swedish land by the name of Ikea did." - referring to the crib she was helping Zelena with and failed. She walked over to Belle who was standing beside Gideon who was bound in chair with a Magic binding cuff placed upon him. "I repeat, what did I miss?"

"We're trying to find Gideon's heart," Belle answered, walking towards her. "I can't get through to him but we thought you might." Belle and Rumple were still in the belief that Other-Gideon was Anya's True Love and perhaps that bond would apply here as well.

Anya nodded, unaware of their assumption, and crouched in front of Gideon. "Hello, Gideon," she greeted with a smile. "Will you please tell us where the Black Fairy is keeping your heart?"

"I – I can't," Gideon answered, wincing a bit. "The Black Fairy ordered me to feel this – this pain if I ever resisted her again."

"Then don't," Anya answered, getting to her feet. She kissed Gideon's forehead before saying, "I know the pain the Black Fairy is capable of and I will not let you feel it for as long as I can help it."

Seeing Anya's behavior towards Gideon just fueled Belle's and Rumple's suspicion that they were each other's True Love, even if just in her own Realm.

Emma came into the shop at that moment to say, "My parents are looking for the other half of Blue's Wand." Seeing Anya there, she asked, "Any luck in here?"

"Not yet," Rumple answered as he opened a box. "But we've only just begun."

"Well, can we hurry it up?" Emma urged. "Once my parents find that wand, I'm going after the Black Fairy."

"You can't," Anya quickly pleaded, then made herself clear, "I mean, you can't before we find Gideon's heart. If you kill her before we find his heart, it may be lost forever."

Emma didn't say anything about that and in that silence, Rumple turned to Belle. "Belle, I may have a way to speak to our son, but I'm going to need something from you first – your trust. Do you trust me, Belle?"

Belle had to think for a moment before answering. "I trust that you will do what's right for him, what's right for our family."

Rumple would take what he could get. He stepped closer to her saying, "Then I need you to watch over us while we're gone."

"Gone?" Emma asked, seeing the vial in Rumple's hand. "What the hell is that?"

"The Sands of Morpheus," Rumple answered as he walked towards Gideon.

Gideon watched as Rumple poured some of the sand into his hand. "Father…what are you doing?"

"I'm going to the only place I can speak to you, Gideon," he answered, "your dream realm." Rumple tossed the sand onto Gideon, rending him unconscious instantly. He poured some more sand into his hand and turned to Anya, "You as well, Miss Hood." After tossing the sand onto her, and watching her drop to the floor he did the same to Emma and then himself.

When Anya entered the dream realm, she looked around and thought she recognized where she was…at least, in a way. It looked like the Enchanted Forest, but she couldn't be entirely certain. This was the dream realm after all.

Anya called out, "Rumplestiltskin! Gideon! Anyone! Hello?" But there was no answer. She was all alone and this made her sigh, "What else is new?" With no real destination in mind, she just started walking in a random direction with the hope that she'd find someone here.

How long she walked, she wasn't certain, but she stopped as soon as she heard Gideon's voice speak her name from behind her. Anya whipped around and knew instantly that it was her Gideon. "Gideon!" she exclaimed, running towards him and flinging herself into his arms.

"Oh, Anya," Gideon sighed, holding her tight. "What have you gotten yourself into?"

"Long story," Anya answered with laughter then placed her hands on his chest, just to make sure that he was really there. "How are you here?"

Gideon looked reluctant to answer her question, but he couldn't lie to her – he wouldn't. "I am under a Sleeping Curse in our Realm. The Sands of Morpheus being used on the Gideon you now know allowed me to cross the divide and see you. That kind of Magic isn't Light or Dark – it's neutral."

"A Sleeping Curse!" Anya shoved him for that. "Are you out of your mind!"

"It was the only way I could ensure that neither Tinkerbell or Cora could get your location out of me. Light Magic is needed to awaken me and that no longer exists in our Realm. Which also means that they won't be able to ever leave and find you." Gideon placed a gentle hand on the side of her face. "It was worth it, Anya."

"How could you send me through alone?" She cried, gripping onto his wrist. "How could you leave me all alone?"

"You're not alone, I made sure of that," Gideon assured her. "I cast a spell that would let the Others recognize you, in a way, so you would never be alone." He gently wiped some tears from her eyes. "I would have given anything to go through that Portal with you, but that spell was only meant for one."

Anya closed her eyes and hugged Gideon as tight as she possibly could. "I don't want you to go away."

Gideon slumped under her touch because he regretfully had to go. "I'm afraid I must." He pulled back and kissed her forehead. "You are not alone, Anya. You must remember that – you are not alone." Once he uttered those final words, he faded away before disappearing completely.

Anya pressed her hand on her chest with a gasp as she felt an already present crack growing a bit more. She closed her eyes tightly in an attempt to keep the tears back but she failed and they continued to stream down her cheeks. Anya tried to focus on her words that she wasn't alone but she felt that way, especially now.

"Anya?" the Storybrooke's Gideon spoke from behind her, having heard the exchange between her and the Gideon from her Realm. "Are you alright?"

Anya wiped away her tears and pushed herself to her feet. "I will be once the Black Fairy is six feet under." Before he could ask her anything else, she asked a question of her own, "This is your dream realm?"

Gideon respected her decision not to discuss what had occurred so he answered her. "No, this is not."

Anya's eyes widened a bit at that. "Well, it's not mine. So where are we?"

Gideon had a suspicion about that. "I believe we're in my father's."

"We're in the Dark One's dream realm?" Anya asked incredulously then inhaled deeply. "Why do I have the feeling this is about to turn into a nightmare?"

Gideon started walking with her to find Rumple and Emma as he answered, "If we are here, it's for a good reason. He must know something to help us defeat the Black Fairy." When Anya didn't say anything about that, he stopped to say, "I'm sorry about you losing your Gideon. It must be painful to be around me, knowing I am not him."

"In a way," Anya answered truthfully, "but it also gives me determination. I will never be able to save my Gideon but one way or another I will save you. Even if it's the last thing I do."

In that moment, even Gideon believed that the man from her Realm was her True Love. Was Gideon of Anya's Realm someone she loved? Of course, she loved him very much, but it could never compare to the love she felt for her True Love – no kind of love ever could.

The pair of them had been walking through the forest for quite some time in silence, but presently that was broken.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Gideon asked as they walked down the path together in an attempt to find Rumple.

"And have anything I say end up being used against me?" Anya raised her brow incredulously. "I shall pass, no offense. When you have your heart back, then we'll talk."

Gideon nodded, "Fair enough." He had to ask something though. "The Gideon from your Realm…did you love him?"

Anya didn't see the harm in answering that so without looking at him she said, "Yes, very much." Thankfully this conversation was cut short because Emma and Rumple were in the distance. "There they are."

Gideon walked over with her and hugged his father when he reached him. When they pulled apart he said, "Thank you for fighting for me."

Rumple cried as he responded, "I would do anything for you, son." He wiped away some of Gideon's own tears before composing himself. "Now, tell me where your heart is."

Gideon sighed as he shook his head. "I – I can't. I'm sorry. I don't know where it is. She has it well hidden."

Rumple wasn't sure what to do now. "Then we're lost."

"No," Gideon countered. "There is something of use here. The one thing she's afraid of – you learning her darkest secret."

Rumple had no idea what he was talking about. "And what is that?"

All Gideon knew about that was, "The reason she gave you up."

Anya was listening to this and suddenly she started feeling very weird. "Whoa…" Her heart started to feel fluttery. "I don't think I'm supposed to be here…" Before anyone could say or do anything about that, Anya disappeared from sight.

As soon as she was ejected from the dream realm, she woke up in the Shop with a gasp. Belle was right there waiting for them to wake up and quickly went to her. "Anya, are you alright?"

"I – I think so," Anya answered, getting to her feet with Belle's help. "My heart started to feel weird and the next thing I knew…I was here."

"Did you learn anything?" Belle asked hopefully. "Are the others still there?"

Anya opened her mouth to tell her but found she couldn't. So, Anya said instead, "No – pun is it? – intended but…it is like trying to remember a dream. Perhaps the others will remember better because they weren't ejected like I was."

Belle was disappointed but she tried not to show it. "I will let you know when they wake up?"

Anya smiled, "Yes, please." She hugged her then before leaving the Shop – not sure where she was headed, but just didn't feel right being there.

Anya walked into Granny's Diner just because she felt like it and there was no other explanation than that. When she arrived, Snow, David, Hook, and Regina were tearing the place apart looking for something. "Why do I suddenly feel out of the loop today?" she asked as she walked in further. "What are you looking for?"

"The other half of the Wand," David answered as he looked under tables and such.

"Did Blue tell you where it was?" Anya asked as they continued to look.

"The center of Storybrooke," Regina answered from behind the counter.

"If it's any help, in my Realm Blue's secret hiding place was beneath the Minstrel's feet." When the room looked at her oddly she said, "In the tavern – under the floorboards where the Minstrel stood."

David and Hook looked at each other and Hook suggested, "Jukebox?"

David nodded his head. "Jukebox."

They both went over to said object and pulled it away from the wall. Underneath the jukebox was a tile with a crack in the corner for access. David pulled it up and behold, there was a box beneath it. He pulled it from the floor with a, "Thanks, Anya" and brought it over to the others.

Regina sighed, "That's it," when David showed it to her then held her hand out to Hook. "The other half, please."

Hook was skeptical to do that. "Well, now, hold on just a second. How do we know that you are actually you?"

Anya didn't know why Hook doubted it because she missed the whole Gideon and Black Fairy pretending to be David and Snow that morning, but she assured him, "It's her."

Hook still wasn't too certain. "And how do you know she's not the Black Fairy?"

"Because I know my mom," Anya shot back, not realizing that she had just called Regina 'mom' but Regina was quick to catch onto that. "She's not the Black Fairy," Anya stated firmly.

"Well of course she isn't," the Black Fairy said upon entrance into the Diner. "Because I am."

"Right." Hook reached into his back pocket and pulled out the other half of the wand which he then handed to Regina. "Sorry I doubted you, love."

"That Wand won't do you any good," the Black Fairy said to them as Regina took the other half, "not without the Savior around. Now give it here," she demanded.

"Uh uh," Regina countered. "My town, my rules. And you're not getting this without a fight."

The Black Fairy sighed with pleasure. "Oh, I was hoping you'd say that. You know, I've done so many dark things in my life, but I've never had a chance to kill a Queen."

"And you're not going to," Anya firmly interjected with a wave to her hand sending both herself and the Black Fairy outside on the street in front of Granny's. Once they reappeared she said to the Fairy, "We may not have the Savior at the moment but I'm here and I would rather die than watch the likes of you kill another member of my family."

The Black Fairy giggled at her. "Such strong words from one so young. Let's see if your magic is as strong as your as you conviction."

Regina appeared in front of her daughter saying, "You mess with my daughter, and you mess with me. Big mistake."

"What are you doing?" Anya demanded, moving more to her side. "I'm doing this alone!"

"But you're not alone," Regina answered, not taking her eyes off the Fairy. "And you never will be again."

Anya felt something in her heart in that moment, like one of her cracks was starting to heal.

The Black Fairy wasn't amused. "Oh, how quaint." She threw out her hand and a stream of Magic shot from it towards them, but it hit a kind of barrier instead of them. The Fairy gasped upon seeing this. "Impossible!" And tried again with more magic but Anya and Regina were still protected behind the barrier and the Black Fairy only stopped when a car drove straight into her.

The Black Fairy was thrown into the air before landing on the ground, clearly not amused. Without a word, she teleported herself out of there with a swirl of darkness.

Regina looked at Anya in awe because of the barrier. "What was that?"

Anya looked at Regina – looked at her mom, and took her hand. "Love."

Zelena got out of her car then, looking pretty proud of herself. "You know, this whole driving thing's quite easy when you're actually trying to hit something."

Anya laughed and ran over to Zelena and hugged her. Zelena was a bit surprised by this action but she hugged her niece back and enjoyed the show of affection nonetheless, all the while Anya was feeling that her Gideon was right – she wasn't as alone as she thought, she just had to be open to it.

Anya and Regina went back to Gold's shop to wait for Rumple and the others to wake up. When finally, they did, Regina said, "Well, now that nap time's over, it's time for battle."

Emma saw Regina holding the two pieces of the Wand. "You found the other half?"

"Yes," Regina confirmed. "Now let's go de-wing this bat."

"Actually," Emma countered, "I don't think I'm the Savior that's supposed to fight this battle." She turned to Rumple saying, "Gold, this is on you."

Regina was slightly confused. "Wait, Gold is a Savior?"

"Saviors are Light Magic, are they not?" Anya interjected. "Where did things go wrong?"

No one answered that and Belle asked, "Rumple, is this true?"

He was clearly still working things through as he said, "Yes, it's true."

Belle smiled happily and went over to him. "All these years – all these years I've known there was a good man behind the beast. Now you know it, too."

Rumple shook his head to that. "I don't know what I know…" he stood up from his seat and took the Wand from Regina, "…but I know I must do this."

"Let me help you," Gideon offered, "I can…"

Rumple wouldn't hear of it. "No. I've put you in enough danger." He used his magic to mend the Wand and said, "I think it's best if I face my mother alone."

That evening, Anya was sitting outside Granny's Diner, waiting for Rumple to come back. The others were inside doing the same, but she wanted to see him first. When she spotted him walking down the street, she quickly got up and ran over to him. "What happened?"

Rumple answered by showing her the black, shriveled heart in his hand. "The Black Fairy is banished for good."

Anya felt such relief to hear that, that she cried and hugged Rumplestiltskin. "Thank you, Rumplestiltskin. Thank you."

Rumple was a bit taken aback but he hugged her in return before pulling away.

Anya wiped the tears from her eyes. "Gideon is safe now. You have his heart back?" When he nodded, she felt even better than before, "Everything's going to be alright." She laughed for a moment before saying genuinely, "I'm sorry for saying I was going to kill you, you know, before."

"Understandable," he replied then gestured to the Diner, "I better go tell the others."

"Of course, yes." Anya stepped aside to let him pass and started walking to Regina's house but stopped for a moment as a motorcycle drove past her. She couldn't see who it was but she felt a wave of familiarity move through her. Anya was afraid to think about it too much so she turned round and went on her way.

Anya didn't see that the motorcycle stopped in the road and the rider lifted the visor of his helmet to turn around and look at her because he felt the same feeling as well. Alas, he didn't think too much of it either and when she turned a corner out of sight, he continued on his way. But still, in the back of his mind, he wondered who she was and why he had felt he'd seen her somewhere before.
