Chapter 92: Over the Rainbow
Circe and her followers marched through the quiet town that evening. Everyone was attending the ball that night and they intended to crash it. They may have stolen magic, but as far as she could tell, they had not released it back into the town. That meant they had a small window where taking over would be possible. They were all armed with high-tech plasma weapons and it was time for a reckoning. Little could they know, the reckoning was happening without them.
"Madam Circe...look!" Captain Channing said, as he pointed at Cronus palace and they watched the roof be torn off.
"What is that?" one of her other followers asked.
"Magic..." she growled, as they suddenly watched the entire palace disappear. Next, the clock tower disappeared, then Granny's, and everything on Main Street. The magic swept around them and when it was gone, there was nothing but woods around them, like there had never been a town there in the first place.
"What the hell just happened?" Channing asked. But even Circe had no answers. Storybrooke was gone, without a trace or explanation to offer. And with it, gone was her revenge, leaving her with nothing.

29 Years Before the Dark Curse
Zelena stared down at the body of Princess Eva. It had been incredibly easy. A quick snap of her neck and it was over. They would probably think she fell or had an accident, but now her mother's secret would be safe and she would marry Leopold. She looked at her hands, noticing that they were suddenly transparent.
"What's happening?" she wondered.
"This is what you wanted," a voice said, as the witch turned to see the Goddess Athena standing there, looking ethereal.
"You've changed your fate and since you'll soon be born, this version of you is going to cease to exist for now," Athena informed.
"But...will I have my memories?" she asked.
"I think you know that it doesn't work that way. Hades tried to warn you...and he was right. But this is what you wanted. You'll be raised as a Princess," Athena replied, as she faded away. Zelena was to be born to Cora any day now and without Eva in the way, she would marry Leopold and become Queen. What the ramifications of that would be could not be determined yet and only time would tell now.
The Goddess looked around and it seemed that she would be the only retain any memory of how all of this had happened. So it was up to her to try and fix it. Which meant she had to find the Savior...before she was born, for once that happened, there would be no turning back.

"Then you know..." Persephone said hesitantly.
"That you're married to Hades," she replied stiffly.
"Hades is good to me...but I'm not in love with him," she confessed.
"I know," Eli assured.
"Then I hope what I have to tell you next won't anger you either," she said.
"I love you...no matter what it is," he assured.
"I'm pregnant," she revealed. His eyes widened in surprise.
"How...far along?" he asked.
"Four months," she replied.
"Then it is..." he uttered.
