Regina and Emma use their magic to get Merlin out of the tree. "Can we trust him?" Asks Snow to Robin.
"Who?" he replies hastily.
"Arthur!" She replies.
"I don't know."

"Regina... This is getting too much. I... Can't..." Emma croaks trying her best to break Merlin free.
"I know... We're almost there."
"Your stronger then me, you can hang on but... I..."
"Emma come on... Please we have to... Without Merlin your father could consume the darkness."
"I won't let that happen." The tree gets small and small until man size. It starts to form into a body shape and the bark disappears. Features grow and clothes form. Merlin.
"MERLIN!" Sighs Regina. Emma stumbles backwards and tries to stand. It's all to much and she collapses. Killian catches her and lowers her to the ground.
"EMMA!!!" In unison Snow, Killian, David and Regina cry out her name is fear and panic.

"She's okay... She's just weak." Says Killian closing the door behind him as he leaves Emma to rest in one of the bedrooms.
"How do we get rid of the darkness?" Asks Regina eager. David grabs her hand. "Sorry, I just want it gone."
"It's fine. You have to find the flame, with it you have to light it but channeling your true emotions. You need the dagger and Excalibur. Hold them over the flame and they unite filled with the darkness and its destroyed. But you have to get Excalibur and you have to light the flame." Explains Merlin.
"Sounds simple enough." States David.
"But it's not." Informs Robin.
"I know!" David snaps back.
"HEY! This isn't helping." Shouts Regina towards them both. "We need to get Emma back to grannies so she can gain her strength meanwhile, Snow and Robin try and get Excalibur but you can't alarm Arthur or tell him, I don't trust him. I have to deal with a little carrier that happened to tag along for the ride and you coming with me." She points to David.
"Who's the carrier?" Asks Killian. Regina sigh. Drops her head into her hand.
"Zelena!" She groans.
