A Curse that can't be Broken

A New Threat

Milady tilted her head as she watched the two.

"So... Let me get this straight." Uther brushed his tongue over his lips. "Two of the most powerful-est Villains in all the realms got together, and despite the fact that they both could not have children... Have a son and a daughter." Uther glanced to Regina and then looked to Milady.

"That's the story you told me." She shrugged.

"It's not exactly very detailed now is it?" Uther asked.

"You weren't very specific with detail." Milady brushed off. "But the details concerning this war seemed more important to you at the time." She looked to her nails. "And then there was your children." she added glancing up from her nails.

"What about them?" Regina asked.

Milady looked back to her nails as she took a moment for herself. "Morgana doesn't exactly work alone." She hushed a bit.

Regina was taken back by this. "What do you mean, she doesn't work alone?" She asked. Ever since Coal and Edith showed up, all they had mentioned was Morgana.

"You mentioned that Coal and Edith wouldn't even know about this." She pointed out.

Uther rolled his eyes as he looked about the room. Regina seemed well connected to the topic, but for him... He had only just joined this little whirlwind adventure. He saw no real connection to the little brats and could never see himself actually liking them either.

"This is new information as it seems. The last time you both went off to fight Morgana, well second to last time, you told me about another." She looked to Regina as Uther seemed miles away. "A man that pulled strings... A man named Rasputin." She hissed his name.

Uther slowly turned back to the conversation as the name tickled his anger. "Rasputin?" he asked.

"You know him?" Regina asked. She was a bit relieved that Uther was finally joining in on the conversation.

"Know him?" Uther questioned her question. He looked back to Milady, "He should be dead."

Milady shifted her eyes towards Uther, "You said that after that battle." She told him.

Regina was all too curious over everything, but one thing stood out above all her other questions. "Where are we?" she asked.

Both Uther and Milady looked to her, blank looks on their faces. "The future?" Milady shrugged.

"No." Regina held up her hands. "Our future selves... Where are they?" She asked.

Uther was finally in the same book on the same page as Regina as he looked to Milady.

Milady frowned as she already knew the answer to this question, but also didn't know how to answer. "Your last battle with Morgana didn't exactly go as planned." She told them. "I tried my best, but it was too late." she hung her head and placed her hands at her side.

"Did we die?" Uther asked. He sounded a bit angered... Or possibly offended by the fact that he was beaten in a battle.

"No." Milady clearly stated. "But you are not alive either."

"How is that possible?" Regina asked.

"Limbo." Uther stated.

"I have been to hell and back. And truest me, even if it's a pain to get back, I'm sure our future selves can find a way to do so." She assured Uther.

But Uther didn't seem to eager to heed her words. "Not the limbo controlled by Hades." Uther turned to her. "This limbo was designed especially for people like us. Villains. Villains who crossed the line of no return. Villains who could never change because of what they had done." He told her.
