The group cautiously entered Pan's camp, only to find Pan and Henry gone. Wendy, a girl Pan had taken captive informed them of Pan's plan to take Henry's heart and absorb Aurelia's magic. Emma, Regina, Gold, and Neal quickly huddled together, exchanging worried glances as they prepared to leave for Skull Rock. After a brief discussion, they set off, leaving Mary Margaret, David, Hook, and Aurelia behind to guard the camp.
Aurelia stood next to David, her gaze lingering on him with a mix of concern and determination. She gently grabbed his hand. "I suppose I should take this opportunity to heal you before Pan absorbs my magic," she said softly.
David shook his head, his voice firm. "That won't happen. I just found you, and I'm not losing you again."
Aurelia smiled warmly, grateful for the bond they had formed in such a short time. It had been a long while since she'd felt so supported.
"Give me your other hand," she said, holding hers out toward him.
As David complied, Mary Margaret and Hook watched with curiosity from nearby.
"So, how do your powers work?" Mary Margaret asked, intrigued by what she was about to witness.
Aurelia hesitated for a second, her expression playful. "You'll see. Just promise me you won't freak out."
David chuckled softly, but Hook and Mary Margaret exchanged a look of fascination as Aurelia closed her eyes and began to hum a familiar, soothing melody. It was a song she had hummed every time she used her powers—a gentle lullaby that seemed to carry magic in every note.
To their amazement, Aurelia's golden blonde hair began to glow, lighting up brighter than any flashlight. The warmth radiating from her seemed to surround David, and he could feel something shifting inside him. It was as if her magic was rewiring his body, healing the Dreamshade's poison that had threatened his life.
Aurelia's humming slowed, and as she opened her eyes, the glow from her hair gradually faded away. She released David's hand, her eyes filled with hope.
"So...how do you feel?" she asked, her gaze searching his face.
David looked at her for a moment, processing the sensation of healing coursing through him. Then, with a broad smile, he pulled her into a tight hug. "Thank you," he whispered, overwhelmed with gratitude.
"Anytime," Aurelia replied with a bright smile.
"That was amazing," Mary Margaret said, her voice filled with awe as she stepped forward and kissed David, relief washing over her.
But before they could bask in the moment, the ground beneath them trembled violently, and a wave of green light flashed across the island, illuminating the sky in an eerie glow.
