Ced woke up . He gazed around to see everyone facing the imp , all except Hazel , who lay in a corner .
" What has happened to her ?", he asked .
"Oh ! Nothing much . She made a deal with me ." , said the imp .
A deal with Rumplestiltskin ...that couldn't be good .
"What do you mean ?",Amber enquired, " A deal for what ?"
" For your release , of course .", the imp said.
"What did you get in return ?",asked Ced, anxiously .
The imp's lips twitched into a malicious , sadistic grin . " Her memories ."
"What !", said Ced .
"HOW DARE YOU ! I'll have your head ,you good for nothing ,minuscule ,nasty freak .You !" , came Amber's outburst .
"Remember my dearest , it is only because of you that she had to make the deal in the first place ."
Amber did not have anything to say , her face was a canvas of guilt .
Were Hazel's memories gone ? So , would she not remember any of it , anything about the realm , anything about , him?
"I know why he did this." said the Huntsman, " Obviously , now Hazel wont remember anything of this realm . She wont be able to help us and without her ..."
Rumplestilskin looked indignant and offended . " You know I wouldn't do that !", he pouted .
"So has she forgotten everything ? Does she not remember her family too ?" asked Ced.
"Oh no ! Certainly not .She remembers all except this realm ." said the imp .
Ced saw Amber sneer at the imp. The Huntsman put his hand around her shoulder, to calm her down. Odette looked worried and Ced...he did not even know what to feel.
" I will be leaving you now , folks ." said the imp , "I shall take the liberty to suggest that you transport the young lady back to her homeland . I don't think she would take seeing anything related to this realm very nicely ."
The imp took his position on a gigantic cooking ladle .
"Now , if one of you would open the door please ."said he .
Everyone glared at him .
"Oh . I guess you're not in the mood . Never mind ." said Rumplestiltskin , snapping his finger . Simultaneously , the door opened , the cold air gushing inside .
With that , he soared off to the skies .
"Well , we have the talismans now ." said the Huntsman ,"I think I'll just grab them ."
Ced nodded gravely .
He saw Amber walk up to Rumplestiltskin's desk and pick up an old , yellowing parchment of paper , a map of Fantasy Realm , though different from the normal editions . She examined it for a few seconds and then, put it in her pocket.
