It has been a long time since they have all been to the Underworld. Ever since Hades died, they have had no idea what King Arthur had done with the place. How it changed and who had now been there. A meeting was held in the Town Hall where Emma was on the stage and talking with everyone.

"Hello everyone, as you all know, I am Sheriff Swan and we have a lot of news to share." said Emma.

"When is there not?" scuffed Leroy.

"Leroy!"

"Right, sorry!"

"So, we have made some advancements with who this new villain is and Rachel has recited a new prophecy. We have come to realise that she is known as 'The Lady of the Snakes' and she lives in the Land of Untold Stories. Rachel, could you please add on?"

"Of course," said Rachel and went onto the stage. "We have decided that we have to adventure to the Land of Untold Stories but until we know more about her; we want to stop and do some research on her with the new information we have, and perhaps use the new... power we have."

"And what is this new power?" asked Dr Hopper.

"Me." replied Belle, as she walked onto the stage. "When I went to Wonderland I met with someone who bestowed great power among me and has given me... a gift.I have now become the Seer of the Present."

"A Seer?" questioned Mr Gold. "When were you going to tell me?!"

"Sorry, I-"

"No, no, no! This has to be a mistake!"

"What's wrong with it?" asked Alabaster.

"All magic comes with a price! The first rule of magic!"

"And what's with Seers in particular?" asked Mary Margaret.

"The greater the magic, the greater the price! Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, during the Titanomachy; when the Great Kronos was imprisoned, time was no longer in his control due to his... condition. So, three powerful wizards of the time brought upon this power as a burden among themselves. The Three Seers represent the Three Times - Past, Present and Future. Their powers stand by the rules of the Dark One, they are immortal until they are killed and the power is given to the next person or in this case, gifted."

"You seem to know quite a bit about this." said Zelena.

"Of course I do! I am the Seer of the Future myself!"

"So there is another dagger of some sort?" asked Piper.

"No! Ugh! The Seers have the power of Time in their veins, unlike the Dark One which has their powers tied to the dagger. However, this means that the Seers have to learn to manifest this power in a way only they can understand. The Seer of the Future whom I killed learnt her powers by having two more eyes, I learnt the powers by sharing its weight upon my dagger. See where I'm going? It is a difficult weight to carry and if not learned correctly, it could lead to death!"

"But knowing you, you would want the power of Time in your hands. Why didn't you want all three?"

"I originally did, but when I became the Seer of the Future, I saw how much of a burden this was and I no longer craved the power. This was the reason why in the beginning, this was given to three wizards and not one. So, I met with the Mock Turtle and we came to an agreement. He doesn't mess with me, I don't mess with him. He kept Wonderland to himself, I had the rest. Not a hard deal, Wonderland was an annoying world anyway."

"Wait, but what about the Seer of the Past?" asked Annabeth.

"Unknown what has happened to them. Even I had a fair share of tracking them down, but had no luck. No one knows where or who they are, impossible to track them down; even with the help of magic. It seems they have just... disappeared."

"Okay, so, back on task. We have managed to find someone who must have had somewhat of a contact with her... the only problem..." said Emma.

"He's dead." finished Regina.

"Wait, so we're going to the Underworld?" asked Granny.

"Obviously, we can't all go to the Underworld so I have devised teams," said Emma. "Those in the list will be going to the Underworld and the rest will stay up here."

"But what if we don't want to go?" asked Leroy.

"Then you have to have a great explanation of why you can't. So, from the Demigod Side - we will be taking both children of the God of the Underworld - Nico and Hazel. We also will be taking the ones who have gone to the depths of Tartarus and that will be Annabeth, Percy and Will. And by his great skill of magic - Alabaster. Any objections?"

No one spoke.

"Now from the Fairy Tale side - the ones whom have come back from the dead, Mr Gold and Killian. And for obvious reasons, Zelena, Regina and I will be going as well. But as we also need another to make it twelve, we are taking someone who hasn't been to the Underworld and this is because he is also positive and... down there... we will be needing it. So Dr Hopper. Any objections?"

Dr Hopper wanted to say something really bad. He can't go into the Underworld. He just can't... but he stayed quiet.

"Great," said Emma. "Those going to the Underworld: we meet at six sharp at the lake and for those who aren't, we need as much research done. Obviously, since me and Regina will be gone, we need to talk about ground rules. David and Mary Margaret are in charge of Storybrooke. And the Heads of the Research Team will be Rachel, Henry and August. Good luck everyone, and stay safe. To you Regina regarding the Lady of the Snakes."

Emma walked of the stage and Regina walked on.

"As well all know, there is a new villain among Storybrooke and perhaps the most powerful yet." glared Regina. "With the little information we have about her, we know that she is a very powerful sorceress in magic, ancient, female, lives in the Land of Untold Stories, has something to do with snakes and was probably a past Dark One. How she is alive, we have no idea, but we know she has a weakness and what that is... we have to figure it out. The reason we are going to the Underworld is to find Hyde and figure out what that weakness is and stop her using it. Thank you for your time, meeting adjourned."

The meeting was dispatched and everyone left the Town Hall. Everyone went back to their homes to sleep... apart from Regina. She went to visit Dr Facilier's grave and stared at it.

"Why does this always have to happen to me?" cried Regina. "WHY?!"

"Are you okay, Regina?" asked a man's voice.

Regina turned around to see Dr Hopper, "What do you want, cricket? To pester me that 'everything is going to be okay'?"

"No, I was going to pay my respects."

Dr Hopper put down a bouquet of tulips.

"You had a past with him. A bad one, yet you still come to respect him. Why?"

"Me and Facilier never saw eye to eye, but... we were there for each other once. A long time ago."

"For what?"

"Let's say... Pinocchio wasn't the first soul I tried to save."
