Caligo and the Author appeared in Caligo's room. Isaac immediately backed away from Caligo, his expression fearful, just the way he liked it. Caligo stepped back, gesturing toward the desk he had been preparing. On the desk was an empty book with the title 'The Kingdom of the Dragon'. Next to it was a little pot of ink and a knife.

"For you, dear Author," he said, pulling out the chair. Isaac eyed him warily, looking at the desk.

"What do you want from me," Isaac asked, still standing at a safe distance away from Caligo.

"All I want is for you to write me a little story." Caligo approached the Author, smiling kindly – which felt unnatural – as she put his hand on his back and lead him to the desk. "I do believe you still got your pen."

"I do," Isaac said as he sat down, still looking a bit nervous. "But it is no use because I don't have any ink."

Caligo grabbed the knife and cut his palm, letting some of the blood drip into the little ink pot. "Now you do. Blood of the darkest being of all."

Isaac pulled out his pen from his jacked, carefully dipping it into the pot of ink. When he received it the tip glowed a bit before dimming slightly. The Author smiled as he looked at the pen. He then looked at the book.

"'The Kingdom of the Dragon'?" he read, looking up at Caligo.

"Yes, that is the story I want you to write."

"But why would I?" Isaac nervous expression suddenly turned serious. "I got the ink now, I can write whatever I want and you can't stop me."

"I know," Caligo said calmly. "but in my story, you are whatever you want to be. You can write your own happy ending if you please if you just write me mine."

"But that is against the rules."

"And since when do you care about the rules?" he asked dryly.

"Fair point, what should I write?"

Caligo grinned, straightening himself as he looked down. He was finally going to have it all, and this time no one was going to stand in his way.

"Once Upon a Time…"


After everything that happened with Liam in the 'Move On' cave, the group of teens went to the Underworld version of Granny's. They were sitting in a booth as they waited for their drink. They didn't say much as they waited, causing the tension to build up even more. When their drinks finally came Elizabeth decided to speak up.

"You must wonder how it is possible for me to exist," she said, looking over to Sophia. Sophia took a sip and put her glass back down as she turned her head to Elizabeth.

"I have a few theories, but they don't make any sense at all," Sophia replied, smiling at her cousin.

Elizabeth laughed a bit, looking away from Sophia to look at her glass. "I don't know if Killian ever told you about the time he and my father were on a mission to Arendelle. The queen had invited them to a ball in their honor, so they stayed a bit longer than needed. The extra time they spend there, turned out to be because queen Elsa had a crush on my father. The last day Killian and Liam spend their my father and the queen spend a night together. My father left and the queen discovered she was pregnant with me. Sadly, I died not long after birth so my mother kept it quiet and didn't tell my father. When my father died he learned about my existence and we've been living our lives as best as we could in the Underworld."

"But you died after you were born, how can you look about my age?" Sophia asked a bit confused. The whole story in general seemed logic, a bit surprising, but logic. The only thing that Sophia didn't get was how Elizabeth could be the same age as her when she died at least hundreds of years ago, plus no one ages in the Underworld because, well, they're dead.

"Hades," Elizabeth answered. "it isn't common for a baby to enter the Underworld because of unfinished business, and because I didn't have any parents Hades turned me from a baby to a teenager so he wouldn't have to deal with me."

"So you're royalty," Pan piped in, slowly sipping his drink while watching her rather strangely.

Elizabeth sat back. "Huh, guess I am. Never really thought about that."

"Sorry Pan, looks like she's too high for you," Felix joked, nudging Pan with his elbow.

"Sophia is royalty too, if you're high enough for her than I'm definitely high enough for Elizabeth." Pan's eyes suddenly widened and his face turned red when he realized what he had said. "Not that I- I don't- what I mean is-"

"Sure Pan, whatever you say." Felix met Sophia's gaze, smiling very amused as he took a sip. Sophia doing the same.

"Anyway, now that Pan and I got our magic back, we can split my heart and get out of here," Sophia said, lowering her glass.

"Split your heart?" Elizabeth asked, raising her eyebrow.

"Yes, I can give one half to Felix and-"

"That won't work," Elizabeth said, earning a confused look from the others. "Hades made that up to get the double amount of people in the Underworld. If you try to split your heart and give it to Felix, you'll die."

"But the book said-" Pan started, but Elizabeth cut her off.

"The book you found that information in was written by Hades himself. Didn't you find it odd that no other book spoke of this?"

"Yes, but I thought that it was just because it was so rare that not many people knew of it."

"And Hades threat, saying that the heart split had a terrible price?" Felix said, his brow furrowed.

"It was all an act, a lie. He wanted to scare people away or give them false hope. Many people have fallen for this trick and died because of it, just so they could be with their lost loved one. Some people even left their entire family behind before it was their time because of Hades' trick."

"That's terrible," Sophia said softly, the tears forming in her eyes. "but that means that we came all the way down here for nothing."

"I guess you did." Elizabeth placed her hand over Sophia's, squeezing it gently. "I'm sorry."

"Thank you for telling us," Sophia said eventually, smiling at the blond. "we would have fallen for it if it wasn't for you."

They were quiet for a moment, just silently sipping their drinks, when suddenly two hands slammed on the table, causing them all to jump a bit in surprise and look up at the person who the hands belonged to. To their surprise, it was Caligo.

"Why the sad faces?" he said smirking. "And who's the blond?"

"Caligo, what the hell?" Sophia said surprised. "Weren't you supposed to stay in Storybrooke while we went down?"

"Yes," he pulled out one of the chairs behind him and went to sit on it. "but I got bored. So I did some research and discovered that what Pan said was a lie. You can't bring someone back from the dead by splitting your heart."

Sophia sighed, sitting back. "We know, Elizabeth just told us."

"That means the only way to get dear old Felix back is to trade a life for a life."

"Which I won't do," Felix said. "my life isn't worth that of someone else."

"Even when it's mine?"

They all looked surprised at him, not expecting this. Especially not from him.

"But why would you do that?" Sophia said finally.

"My father wants me down here, no one wants me up there. Might as well do someone a favor, make my wrongs right before I leave." He looked at Sophia, his expression turning softer. "After all, all I want is for you to be happy."

"Caligo-" Sophia started, but stopped herself when she didn't really know what to say. He took her hand, kissing her knuckles while keeping eye contact with her.

"It's okay, Soph. I won't be leaving anyone behind, I won't be missed. This is where I belong after all."

"I'll miss you," she said softly. Caligo smiled, squeezing her hand before letting go and sitting back.

"But you'll forget me eventually." He looked at the table for a second before looking back at the group. "You won't change my mind anyway. Now let's go to Hades to seal this deal."

"Wait a second, who said I accept your life?" Felix said, drawing the attention away from Caligo.

"Don't you want to live happily ever after with Sophia?"

"Yes, but not at the cost of someone else's life, even if it's yours."

"I want Sophia to be happy, she can't be happy with me, but she can with you. I'm willing to secrecies my life for her happiness. If that means giving it to you then so be it." Caligo stood, looking at Felix seriously. "You and I want the same thing, surely you would have done the same if the tables had turned."

Felix looked away from Caligo, glancing to Sophia before nodding. "I would," he said quietly.

"Then it's settled. Let's find Hades and seal this deal."


The five teens the diner and made their way towards Hades. After a lot of protesting from Sophia and arguing she finally agreed on Caligo's plan, but with reluctance. Peter came to walk beside Elizabeth, a bit farther behind Felix, Sophia and Caligo. He had been wanting to talk to her for a while now, but just could find the right moment, words or courage. It was strange, he had never felt so nervous around a girl before. He glanced her way, feeling a strange feeling in his stomach when he saw that she was already looking at him. He cleared his throat and licked his lips.

"Everything alright?" he asked, his voice steadier than he felt. She smiled, looking away from him.

"Yeah, I just have to get used to the idea of my father no longer being here. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that he was able to move on, but I miss him already," she said, her voice softer than he has ever heard her speak with.

"I'm sorry, that must feel terrible." He wouldn't really know how that felt. Yes, he lost Felix, who was practically family to him, but was that really the same? He was the one who killed him after all. Peter Pan was rather the person to cause rather than the one who experienced the loss.

When Elizabeth didn't say anything else Pan spoke again. "There is more that is bothering you, isn't there?"

Elizabeth shrugged. "Maybe," she said before sighing heavily. "it's just that Sophia promised that she would help me find my unfinished business, but if Felix is alive again, you all will be going, and I'll just stay here, still wondering why the hell I can't move on."

Without thinking Peter reached up, placing his hand on her shoulder. Elizabeth turned her head to look at him before smiling a bit shyly.

"Elizabeth," Peter said softly. "You'll find a way to move on, I promise."

"That's sweet Peter, but we both know that won't happen. I've been down here for hundreds of years and I still don't know what my unfinished business is."

"I'll help you find it."

Elizabeth laughed softly, but it sounded humorless. "I doubt you'll be staying that long," she said quietly more to herself than to him. Peter let his hand slide of her shoulder back to his side. They walked in silence for a while. His hand brushed a few times against hers, and again his movements were faster than his mind as he reached over, taking her hand in his gently. He held it so lightly that if she wanted to pull away she could, but she didn't. The only thing she did was hold his hand tighter, and when he looked over at her, he saw that her cheeks were lightly colored, something he already knew he liked on her.

That moment, with Elizabeth's hand in his, he silently promised himself and her that he would do everything in his power to let this blond angel be happy.
