Worlds Colliding (Once Upon a Time) Book Five

chapter 4 - The Broken Kingdom

From 5.03 "Siege Perilous", in Camelot, David and Mathias walked in, in gold armor.

Freya/Priscilla: (voice over) "Previously on Worlds Colliding (Once Upon a Time)."

Arthur used his sword to crown them as knights. "I dub thee Sir David and Sir Mathias of the Enchanted Forest. Now of the Round Table."

From 5.01 "The Dark Witch", in Enchanted Forest, Freya shook her head slowly. "I'm not gonna hurt my father, no matter what he did."

Rumplestiltskin smirked. "We shall see. I'm the voice in your head. I'm the Dark One's powers inside you."

From 5.01 "The Dark Witch", in Camelot, Rumplestiltskin was breaking Freya down. "She has to die."

Freya tightened her grip on Merida's heart. "She has to die."

"Mama!" Grace told her worriedly. "Don't."

Jefferson stepped closer. "We've overcome the madness before, Cilla. We can overcome this."

Jefferson reached out to take her hand. Freya could control the madness easier with Jefferson now here, putting Merida's heart back.

Jefferson: (voice over from 5.01 The Dark Witch) "And we'll do it like we do everything. Together."

From 5.03 "Siege Perilous", in Freya's basement, Freya had kidnapped comatose Gold, who laid on a rocky bed, crushing the ring into dust, letting it fall onto Gold, watching as he started to wake up, glaring at him coldly.

Gold realized what was happening, sitting up worriedly. "Cilla."

"Hello, Papa," Freya told him.

"What do you want from me?" Gold asked. "You are the Dark One now, not me."

Freya just continued to glare, tilting her head. "I can make you into the last thing you ever thought you would be. A hero." She looked at Rumplestiltskin, who nodded eagerly. Gold looked at the empty space, confused as to what his daughter was looking at. Freya looked from Gold to the sword. "And then I have a job for you."

Flashback - Many Years Ago

Camelot

Day - Poor Village

Young Arthur and Young Guinevere walked through the village.

"Look around," Young Arthur told her. "Someday this village will be the great kingdom of Camelot, and I will be king."

Young Guinevere laughed. "You have some very strange dreams."

"But they're not just dreams," Young Arthur told her. "Come on." They laughed, running up to Merlin's tree and Cyrus's stone. "Can I trust you with a secret? This tree, a man is trapped inside of it. A great sorcerer known as Merlin. And his son is the one that is trapped in this stone. His name is Cyrus. They spoke to me one night. They gave me a prophecy. Told me I would pull a sword from a stone and become king of Camelot."

"King Arthur?" Young Guinevere asked.

"Yes," Young Arthur answered. "And you will be Queen Guinevere." He handed her a pink middlemist. "And on your birthdays, I'll fill the kingdom with flowers."

"A middlemist?" Young Guinevere asked. "I love it."

"There's more where that came from," Young Arthur told her. "I'll show you."
