"i'm not sure why all your memories have been depleted, the shrine of resurrection was never completely examined and it did not give any sign of chance of losing memories, It could be that you were in there for so long that your brain just...forgot?"
You sighed and leaned back on your heels, pouting slightly. Harry patted your shoulder and looked at Regina. "so how did I separate from my....here version?" he ended sounding slightly confused as to word out his question.
Regina understood but shrugged "that is something that I can't explain as well, i'm sorry your highness" Harry winced and waved his hands around.
"um, Harry is fine" Regina nodded, smiling at him, before turning back to you.
"do you have the sheikah slate?" you nodded and unclipped it from your hips, handing it over to her, she hummed, tapping the buttons and screen quickly.
"It seems it is fully functional if only missing the upgraded runes, is there any more questions?" Regina asked as she pulled up the camera rune. "ooh, wait a moment, it seems this is the camera prince harry used all those years ago....possibly if you visit these sights, you could regain your lost memories" she handed the slate back to you and you slowly nodded, glancing at the white stone platform with the shadow of the castle behind it.
"so that will be my request for you, visit these sights....and once you visit as least one, return to me, there is something the prince wanted me to give to you (y/n)" you glanced at harry slightly confused but agreed.
"yes, ma'am" Regina smiled and nodded.
"good, now your friends should be at the inn waiting for you, don't keep them waiting, and I believe they will want an explanation."
You sighed and nodded, harry standing first and holding out his hand to you, you smiled in thanks and grabbed it, letting him haul you up from the floor.
"Goodnight you two, sleep well"
"thank you" you muttered in sync, walking out of Regina's home and to the inn, flinching as the entire group seemed to lunge at you for answers.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!?!"

You and harry carefully packed your bags, freezing when anyone moved or you heard something. Slowly sneaking out of the inn, you bought a bag of food and some flint, sheathing the sword from the training shrine on top of the nearby mountain.
Harry looked to you, a worried look on his face "lass are yeh sure about this"
"This isn't their fight Harry, I need to find out what happened, and I need to find out how to help, I feel like this is all my fault" you whispered, swallowing down the pit in your throat. "I can't get them involved" harry frowned, pressing his lips together.
"i-I understand lass, but well still have to come back to get whatever "I" wanted to you have" he finger quoted as he referenced his past life.
"I know, it seems though I can....teleport with the shrines?" you chuckled, sending a comforting look to Harry as you climbed onto (horse name) "harry, they'll be fine, this place is untouched by the dark one, and it'll stay that way"
"promise?" he asked quietly as he mounted his horse, you lead your horse to him, reaching over and cupping his cheek.
"promise"

You peeked at the picture, it seemed to match up perfectly with the archway in front of you. "um, I think this is it?" you muttered, holding it up, smiling as you matched the picture with the present archway. "It is!"
"great....now what-" you and Harry froze, watching as the world blurred out, flashes of shadows and people coming to mind.

You slowly followed Harry as he numbly walked down the mountain path, tears burning at his eyes, you mentally sighed as you spotted the other champions waiting at the archway.
"Well? Don't keep us in suspense." Gil pushed, not realizing Harry's state of mind "How'd everything go up there on the mountain?"
Harry just shook his head, pressing his lips together, eyes on his feet. "So you didn't feel anything?" an older teen asked, his fiery red hair hidden under a green cap " No power at all?"
"no, I'm sorry" Harry finally muttered, swallowing harshly, trying to keep the tears back.
A tall young woman, her wild black hair that matched Harry's, Harriet, walked up to him, wrapping her arm around his shoulder "Then let's move on. You've done all you could. Feeling sorry for yourself won't be of any help. After all, it's not like your last shot was up there on Mt. Lanayru. Anything could finally spark the power to seal the dark one away. We just have to keep looking for that...thing" she comforted, smiling slightly as she rubbed his shoulder.
"Thanks, Harriet" he gave her a small smile. Looking at her in the corner of his eye.
"if I may" harry looked to Uma confused, tilting his head. "i'm never sure on how to put this into words, but maybe it could help. But when I use my magic, I usually think about-"
The ground shook, thunder echoed across the plains, harry stumbled back, you ran forward, grabbing onto him and stabilizing him.
Uma turned, her eyes glowing slightly as she created a water vortex and launched up into the sky, gasping as she caught sight of the dark energy erupting from the castle.
"it's here" Harriet muttered gravely, fingers tensing on Harry's shoulders.
"This is it then" Gil hummed, flexing his fists as Uma descended back to the ground.
"Are you sure?" the red-haired teen asked Uma, looking up to the darkening sky.
"positive" Uma growled, anxiety for Harry and the kingdom settling in her bones.
"it's awake" Harry muttered, fear building in his eyes "the dark one!"
Gil's eyes narrowed, turning to the other champions "Let's stop wasting time! We're gonna need everything we got to take that thing down! Now we need to get to the beasts! Show that swirling swine who's boss! (y/n) will need to meet the dark one head-on when we attack! This needs to be a unified assault! (y/n)!" you looked to Gil, a determined spark lighting in your chest "You get to the Castle. You can count on us for support. But it's up to you to pound the dark one into oblivion!"
Harriet took Harry's arm, beginning to lead him away "come on Harry, let's get you somewhere safe"
"no!" Harry ripped his arm away "I'm not a little kid anymore, I might not have the power but there has to be something I can do!"
Harry turned to you, and you nodded, for once leading the way as the battle for Saorsa began
—
You gasped as the world returned to normal, Harry stumbling back slightly as he also snapped out of whatever that...memory thing was.
"Uma and Gil? They were apart of this?" you muttered, hearing Harry mutter Harriet's name. "maybe we should have-"
"no" harry stopped you "no, if they got caught up in this once before I don't want them to get caught up in it again, they stay in storybrooke"
You slowly nodded, following harry back as he mounted his horse and started to go back to the village.
