Book 1: The Prophecy

CHAPTER 19

"Is everything okay?" Regina asked.

"We have something we need to tell you," Natalie said. "Regarding The Darkness," she nodded to Dream.

"What?" David asked.

"We know who the Darkest Souls are," Dream said.

They all had a shocked look on their face.

"And who the other Saviors are. Plus Dream's powers and why I chose that name," Noah said.

"Please tell us," Emma said.

"We know deeper who Juan really is," Noah said.

"Who?" Emma asked.

They looked at David. "Your nephew." they both confessed.

"Nephew?" he asked, confused. His eyes widened up. "No. That's not possible. How? I threw him into the River of Lost Souls."

"He must've found a way to resurrect himself. He planned everything, including making a new realm for them. He resurrected ten more villains, consumed eight and recruited five villains who are alive. That makes a total of twenty-one. He brought them all over to his side one way or another," Natalie said.

"The people he resurrected are Nimue, the Blind Witch, Cora, Fiona, Jafar, Cruella, Peter Pan, Liam, and Hades."

"He recruited Mother Gothel, Bo Peep, Lady Tremaine, Isaac Heller, and King George."

"Who did he consume and what does that mean?" Regina asked.

"For the Darkness, there's a curse. He used some of the ingredients for the curse to cast a spell. He forced them to drink the potion and it made them their worst selves. They don't remember their past lives, the good parts of them. They are way worse than before." Natalie said.

"He consumed eight people. Rumplestiltskin, Cora, Maleficent, Ursula, Zeus, Zelena, Regina, and Liam Jones."

Killian's head jerked up at them. "My brother?"

"Yes," Noah said.

"Bloody hell," he muttered.

"And the Evil Queen version of Regina," he said.

Snow looked relaxed.

"Do you know your powers?" Emma asked Dream.

She nodded her head. "I have the ability to see into the past and future. For instance, the night of Noah Natalie's twelfth birthday, I was conceived. I needed to send a sign that I was there. So I sent two visions to Natalie. She was the easiest since she knew that truth. She saw into the past about the prophecy and then she saw into the future. Just after The Darkness came."

"After we found out the missing pieces of the prophecy, that's when I knew how I had those visions," Natalie said, looking at Audrey. "Noah told me that you were having a girl. I told him about my dream. We knew how I got it. Dream had sent it to me. That's when he thought of her name, Dream. Emma." Natalie said. "I guarantee you, Dream will survive The Darkness. I don't know about mine and Noah's survival, but every Savior that fights will fight their hardest."

"You said that there was going to be a curse," Andrew said.

"Yes. There will be four phases of The Darkness. The first, your vision," he said to Natalie. "The curse is the second. And the third I don't know but the fourth, a Savior will have to save another Savior or Saviors, I don't know. Does anyone else know this?" Dream asked.

"Just you, Natalie and I. We got them through dreams and true love's kiss," Noah said.

"How long do we have?" Annie asked from behind.
