{Emma's POV}
Emma grabbed hold of the hat and gestured Henry to do the same. Unfolding the crumpled enchantment, Killian looked through the words before reciting them.

"Veneficus est ke, veneficus est ke. Tak mihi ut Olympus qua Zeus wels suus validus telum." He chanted struggling to pronounce the words. That hat started to glow, gradually getting louder and more powerful. Emma could feel the magic from the hat coursing through her veins. "Tak nos ut radix of vox. Killian, Emma, Henry, David, Mary Margaret, Regina and Robin." The hat's magic circled them until they could barely hear the last part of the enchantment. "Tak nos video vidi visum Zeus!" He shouted over the blaring sound of the portal being opened right under their feet.

After sucking them in all together, the yellow, magical portal snapped shut, leaving only silence... and the hat. Emma opened her eyes. Looking around, she realized they were all lying in a field of tall grass. She felt someone grab her arm. Henry.

"Henry, are you alright?" She exclaimed hugging him tightly.

"Yeah I'm fine, we just have to find everybody else," he said gesturing around at the tall grass hiding the others. No more than ten feet away, Robin slowly stood to his feet stumbling to catch himself.

"Killian!" Emma shouted around her.

"Over here, Love!" He yelled back. She squinted her eyes to see Hook and Mary Margaret's head pop out above the grass together.

"Mom?" Henry called out. About thirty yards away, David was helping Regina to her feet.

"I hate traveling by portal." She mumbled walking over to the others. Once they were all back together, David was the first to speak.

"So what now?" He asked looking around.

"Where do we even start?" Mary Margaret asked.

"He lives there." Henry said pointing. Emma looked to witness the biggest mountain she'd ever seen. The top of it was covered by clouds, so they couldn't see all of it.

"How do you know?" Regina asked.

"Mount Olympus..." Emma breathed. This was real. "Have none of you seen the movie Hercules?" She asked. They looked at her with blank faces.

"Who's Hercules?" Killian asked turning towards the two who knew everything about the story.

"I am." They whipped around only to see... David?
