Unexpected allies

Scene:
A dark forest on the outskirts of Storybrooke.  A sense of unease hangs in the air, every sound seems suspicious.  From afar, two figures appear, carefully moving among the shadows - they are Elijah and Freya Michaelson, who set off in the footsteps of their brother Klaus.

Elijah, always refined and reserved, surveys the surrounding forest with concern, while Freya, a powerful sorceress, walks by, listening intently to the magical energy around her.

Freya: (tensely) Klaus isn't making himself known, which is a bad sign.  If he chooses to use the power of the Horn of Odin, we are in for serious trouble.

Elijah: (nodding coyly) We have to find him before he gets too far.  Klaus always wants power, but sometimes his ambition blinds him.  If the Horn of Odin falls into his hands, the consequences can be unpredictable.

Freya concentrates, raises her hands and casts a spell to feel Klaus' presence.  She channels her magic, and understanding appears in her eyes.
Freya: He's in an old house on the edge of town.  There is also strong magic - it seems that he is not alone.  Maybe the locals are trying to stop him.

Elijah: (nods) Then we must hurry.  If they decide to stand up to him, they'll need more help than they can imagine.

Elijah and Freya head to the house.  As they get closer, they are spotted by David standing guard with Snow White and Ruby.  David cautiously examines the new guests.

David: (alert) Are you looking for Klaus?  Are you his family?

Elijah: (politely) Exactly.  I'm Elijah, his brother, and this is our sister, Freya.  We're here to make sure Klaus doesn't harm your city.

Freya: (firmly) We know our brother can be dangerous.  And that's why we're here to help you if he loses control.

Snow White: (relieved) If you're with him, it might give us an advantage.  But we can't let him take the artifact if he doesn't guarantee the safety of Storybrooke.
Together they approach the old house.  Inside, Emma, ​​Regina, and Rumpelstiltskin try to restrain Klaus, who is standing in front of the Horn of Odin.  When Freya and Elijah walk in, everyone stops, surprised by the new faces.

Klaus: (annoyed) What, you even came here?  I don't need supervision, especially yours, Freya.

Freya: (glares at him) Niklaus, you know that the Horn of Odin can destroy anything in its path.  I'm here to stop you if it becomes necessary.  We all know what your ambition can lead to.

Emma: (to Freya) We've come together to protect the city.  If you and your brother help, we can contain this artifact without harming the city or you.

Rumpelstiltskin: (with a faint smile) Are Michaelson family gatherings always this tense?  But let me remind you that the Horn of Odin is unstable, and its power can tear this world apart.

Freya: (firmly) Then I'll cast a protective charm on the Horn.  This will limit his power and he will not be able to destroy the city.  But I need your help.  All of you, especially Regina and Rumpelstiltskin.

Emma, ​​Regina, Snow White, Rumpelstiltskin, and even Klaus agree to cooperate with Freya to carry out the ritual.  Their magics combine into a single force, creating a powerful magic circle around the Horn. Freya concentrates, starts the spell, and the others reinforce her charms.  A light rises around the artifact, which gradually becomes brighter and stronger, forming a barrier between its power and the world.  Tensions are high, but the cohesion and determination of everyone involved keeps the magic under control.

Eventually, the Horn's power wanes, fading to a safe level.  Those present heave a sigh of relief, realizing that they managed to prevent a disaster.

Klaus: (slightly disgruntled) Well, it looks like you all got what you wanted.  But know that this cooperation does not make me your ally.

Elijah: (calmly) And yet, Klaus, sometimes even you need help from others.

Freya: (to Emma) If the Horn's magic gets out of hand again, you can call me.  We'll protect you, because this fight may just be the beginning.

The town is saved, and the Michaelsons realize that, despite their differences, their cooperation with the people of Storybrooke can be mutually beneficial.  However, each of them also knows that the reverberations of the Horn's power are still in the air, and no one knows what trials are yet to come.

Scene: After performing the ritual, the people of Storybrooke and the Michaelsons leave the old house.  The night gets quieter, but the tension between everyone remains.  Everyone leaves, but Elijah and Regina stop in the yard, left alone.  Their views intersect, and there is an understanding between them, even though they are on different sides. Regina looks at Elijah with interest, impressed by his calmness and restraint, which are so rare in his family.

Regina: (with a faint smile) I didn't expect someone from the Michaelson family to be able to resolve conflicts so calmly.  You usually act… a little tougher.

Elijah: (smiles) I see your reputation as the Evil Queen is a bit overblown as well.  You have power, Regina, but you also seem to know when to hold back.

Regina: (smiles sadly) Once upon a time, I didn't know what it was like to hold back.  The desire for revenge destroyed everything in its path.  But now... (pauses for a moment, looking into the distance) I realized that I don't want to be who I was anymore.

Elijah: (serious) People change.  Even people like us.  Sometimes life forces us to reconsider our priorities.  The path we choose may not be easy, but everyone has a chance at redemption.Regina looks down, her face reflecting pain and sadness from the past.  Elijah understands her feelings—he also knows what it's like to be blinded by cruelty and power, but at the same time to feel the need for inner cleansing.

Regina: (quietly) There are nights when I see the faces of those I've hurt.  All my curses, all my darkness... (pause) Sometimes I feel like I'll never be able to atone for all my mistakes.

Elijah: (softly) Regina, the past is a shadow that follows us.  But it is our efforts to change that make us different.  There is darkness in everyone, but there is also light.  We are the ones who choose which part of us wins.

Regina looks up at him, sensing a strange calmness in his words.  He understands her like no one else, and that inspires a trust in her that she didn't expect to feel with any of the Michaelsons.

Regina: (after a pause) Elijah, if you can keep your family under control, you must understand the value of true devotion.  And you probably understand what it's like to constantly balance between two worlds.

Elijah: (nods) Yes, constantly standing on the edge between light and dark is our curse.  But this is our choice.  I think you have that power too, to see more than revenge or power. Regina thinks, then approaches Elijah.  Their eyes meet, and in that moment they realize that both have fallen victim to their own power and darkness, but both seek to atone for their mistakes.

Regina: (smiles) I guess even people like us sometimes need someone who understands.  Thank you Elijo.  Maybe not everyone in your family can be trusted, but you... you're different.

Elijah: (with a slight smile) You can be trusted too, Regina.  Even if others don't understand it.

They stand in silence, realizing that a connection has been established between them that is difficult to explain.  This is a common understanding of a difficult fate and a desire to change one's own path.  They know that their future is a fight against darkness, both external and internal, but they feel each other's support.

In the distance, you can hear others approaching.  The meeting ends, but they know it's only the beginning of something deeper between them, something that could change both of them, and maybe even the fate of Storybrooke.
