This whole time, magic has been present in this town but none of us can access it because we all use light magic. I stopped using dark magic when I discovered I have light magic in me. Zelena has been forced out of Hyperion Heights. Drizella is not a light magic user. That means only those who use dark magic can access their powers in this town. I don't know if that's part of the curse, some twisted design by Gothel so she can only have access to the magic around here. Anastacia was able to access hers because by the time she woke up she didn't have a side. She's practically a new born magic user who doesn't know what light and dark magic are. Gothel took advantage of that so she can boost her own. Clever little witch. Facilier can definitely access dark magic here and that is very clear. I have been feeling that from him since I first saw him here.
But those things don't scare me at all. What scares me now is the fact that I am being able to use magic. I just restored Hook's memories by just touching his head. I know it's dark magic because I felt its spark. I need some air. I left the bar and went outside for a walk. Could it be possible? I have been feeling off lately. My temper is all over the place. I shook my head. I am not turning evil again. I reached the bay and just stood there and feel the air as it brushed through my face. I heard a camera shutters. I turned to see Facilier took my picture. "Sorry I can't help myself. I just discovered this thing and it's really handy when it comes to capturing moments like that", he said. Usually, I will get angry by that but when it comes to him, I couldn't get angry. He is just too charming.
He put the camera into his pocket. "Nice view…I wished the Enchanted Forest has this", he muttered. I looked at him and scoffed. "Like you care…you always hide in your little hole all the time", I said. He laughed. "That's true. I kind of miss our home, to be honest. I never appreciated its beauty until now. This place is beautiful but there's magic in Enchanted Forest", he said. I never heard him talk like this before. "That's true. But this is what we got now. We can't go back or at least I can't let anyone go back", I said. He looked at me. "What are you talking about?" he asked. I thought I told him about Henry. I guess I didn't. "If the curse is broken, it will kill my son. Gothel poisoned him back in the Enchanted Forest and the only thing that's keeping him alive now is that there's no magic in this place", I answered.
I wanted to say more about the whole light and dark magic thing but I just stopped right there. "Did you find any cure for the poison? Maybe if we cured him here then he will not be harmed once the curse is broken", he asked. That is a good suggestion only there's no cure. "It's a poison from the Bleeding Thorn which can only be found in Wonderland", I said. His eyes reflected surprised. He knows what that is. "Now that is a problem", he muttered. I nodded. "Indeed it is", I said. Together we look at the sea. "If we're back home I can do something", he then said. I looked right away towards him. "You have magic here. Can you do something?" I asked.
"What makes you say I have magic here?" he asked me back.
"Really? You're going to ask me that?" I asked him in return.
"Fair enough. Yes, I have magic here but not as strong as what I used to have. The curse made sure of that. I can do stuff but removing poison from his body, especially that poison…I'm going to need all of my powers which I can't because of the curse", he answered.
"There has to be some other way", I muttered.
"All the things I can think of requires great deal of magic which I don't have", he said. Then an idea crossed my mind.
"You're magic is not enough but what if you combine it with another…could it be possible?" I asked him and he gave me a curious look.
"What are you not telling me?" he asked me back.
"Answer me first", I said.
"Maybe…it's not guaranteed but it's possible depends on how strong the magic of that other person is", he answered.
"Then we need to talk somewhere else", I said.
I returned to the bar after talking with Facilier. I know what I have to do. I know it will tip all the balance but I don't care. It's my son's life and I am willing to do anything for him. The curse can be broken anytime soon. Henry and Jacinda are closer than ever. I can't risk him dying. "Regina!" Lucy called. I turned around quickly and saw her came in. "Now what did I tell you about calling me that way?" I asked her. "Not to call you Regina because some other people might hear it…sorry", she answered. "What can I do for you?" I asked her. She doesn't come here for a chat. "It's my mom and dad. I don't know how long I can keep them apart. No matter how cruel I am with Henry he's still seeing Mom", she answered. That's what I was thinking. "Where are they now?" I asked her again. "They're out on a stroll date", she answered. That doesn't sound too good for me. "Okay, I'll fix it. Now, you go back to school because if you fail you're mother will be upset", I said and she smiled and left.
Zelena came out from the back. It turns out she's just been hiding there the whole time. "How are you going to fix it?" she asked me. I took out my phone. "With the help of a friend", I answered and then started dialing. "Hey, we need to do this now. I'll meet you there", I said then hung up. Zelena walked beside me. "It's Facilier, isn't it? Rumplestiltskin told me everything about him and you. You know you can't trust him", she said. Why is everyone giving me a hard time about this? "It's not the matter of who I should trust right now. What's important is Henry's life and I am willing to bet on anyone if it means my son will live a long happy life", I said and the called Henry. "Hey, where are you?" I asked when he picked up. Apparently, Lucy was right. He's out on a date with Jacinda. "Look, I got an emergency. I really need you to come here at the bar, like right now", I lied. He hesitated at first but I heard Jacinda told him to go and so he agreed. I hung up and looked at Zelena. "I'm going to need your help", I told her.
