Act 1

Snow White


The minute she heard what happened she followed the others directly to where Henry was taken, luckily enough, it was the same room Archie was in. She stood back near the door to the room, watching the two mothers clamor over Henry. From what she could see and from what the Doctor was saying over their questions, he was pretty banged up but would be alright. Once the immediacy of Henry's condition calmed down, she noticed there was a man sitting with Archie, one she hadn't seen before. Not surprising, given the events of the past week, but he looked deep in prayer. It made her smile a bit. Snow turned her attention back to Henry, who definitely looked out of it. 


Belle


She was surprised by his words. He'd shown her all of these things, but to hear them spoken was an entirely different matter. "Rumplestiltskin..." Belle lifted her head to look at him a moment before moving to him and embracing him tightly. "I love you too, and now that I've found you I don't want to lose you again." Too many things had pulled them apart in the past, she wasn't going to let anyone or anything do that again. Of people who would consider themselves Rumplestiltskins enemies, all she knew who were her in Storybrooke was Regina. She wondered for a moment before asking him. "Since everyone's memories returned, who else here would try to harm you? And I take it whatever deal you made with Emma didn't go as planned?"
 
Eragon looks at the splint for a second before holding his hand out to it. "Waíse heill." He says quietly, and the bright light from his Gedway Insignia on his hand is unmistakeable as being a dragon rider. At least to anyone who knows about them it is. He doesn't really care though. The only danger to him is Rumplestiltskin and he already knows. And anyway, dragons safety is more important than his own preferences.


As an afterthought he realises Stormfly might be able to get him to Alagaësia now. He doesn't know where Berk is, or if Stormfly can travel between realms as easily as Saphira, but if she can then maybe he can get a lift. He knows if he gets to Alagaësia where Saphira must be then their bond will sort itself out.

Watching skeptically for a second Astrid jumped at the sudden light from Eragon's hand. She'd never seen such magic before. The closest any viking had ever done to magic was Gothi reading stones. Her blue eyes gave a few quick blinks unsure of what to make of it. 


Stormfly lifted her wing curiously, carefully moving it before biting the splint off. "No! Wait!" Astrid tried to stop her, worried the wound might not be fully healed. Before Astrid could stop her Stormfly had the splint off and gave a test flap of her wing with a happy chirp. 


Astrid simply started in awe for a moment before rushing up to Stormfly to inspect her wing. "How'd you do that?!" She asked in shock, feeling along where the break had once been. 
 
"Just some magic. Nothing too difficult." Eragon replies, grinning as Stormfly tests her wing. "Just glad she's feeling better." He isn't sure how easy travel to Berk will be but he hopes it goes well for them. "I don't know how easy getting to Berk will be for you but I hope you get there before the hunters." He pauses for a moment before muttering to himself in a way that's just loud enough to hear "And I hope I find some way to find Saphira."


@Shandragontear


Faro is completely exhausted, and falls asleep whilst watching the film.


@commanderproton
 
Regina glared murderously at Emma, when she suggested Regina calm down.  Then she saw Henry, and her fury drained, tears spilled from her eyes at the sight of her little boy.  "Oh, Henry," she breathed.  She rushed to Henry's side, wanting to clutch him to her, but terrified of hurting him further.  She put her arms around him, trying not to suffocate or hurt him, tears pouring down onto his sweet little head.  "Oh, my baby..." She'd come so close to losing him--again.  And this wasn't a spell or a curse to be undone with a kiss.

Jay smiled, noticing Faro had drifted off.  He looked so sweet and peaceful.  He gently stroked the mer's cheek.  "Faro," he said softly.  "Faro, wake up."
 
Faro looks lazily at Jay, blinking hard. "I wasn't asleep." He says tiredly. "I'm perfectly awake."  He looks over at the film again, and it's still on so he can't have been asleep too long. He doesn't have a clue what's happening or really care, he's happy to just sit here and be lazy.
 
"I've never seen such magic!" Astrid nearly shouted in her excitement. Without thinking she threw her arms around Eragon in a  grateful hug before rushing to clean up the camp site. "Think you can get us back to Berk?" She asked Stormfly with a giddy grin.


Her smile faded a little hearing Eragon mutter  to himself. "Who's Saphira?" She asked with a curious blink. "Maybe we could help you find her?"


@snakeyem12
 
"She's a friend and it's really important I find her."Eragon says, adding "she most he so worried" as an afterthought. Saphira must be in Alegaësia. There's nowhere else she could be. She's safest there and will have gone to ask Arya for help finding him. Hopefully she feels alright even after not seeing him for so long but there's also a chance she might be so stressed over it she's going mad. He hopes she isn't.
 
Hayes slowly got out of his praying stance and stood to his feet. He made the sign of the father, the son, and the holy spirit before turning to face Emma. Hayes had a solemn, slightly distraught look on his face. He looked down on Archie once more as if he was reminiscing and turned to Emma.


"Hello Miss. I'm an old friend of Archie's. Before now I was previously indisposed." Hayes looked solemnly at Archie again. "But, seeing a friend like this brings me no joy at all. When we eventually reconnected I had hoped it'd be in better conditions than this."


@Chello
 
Emma turned to Archie before turning back to Hayes, "where exactly did you two meet?" She asked, "because it's my understanding that everyone here met each other in the enchanted forest so which part did you meet him at? I don't mean to sound intrusive but I am the Sheriff and all, so my duty is to protect the town and its people."

Regina was only peripherally paying attention to Emma and the man visiting the cricket.  Right now, she only cared about Henry--and, of course, plotting the slow, agonizing demise of that cabbie.  She could probably flay him alive and make him eat his own skin...

Jay chuckled at Faro's sleepy reply.  "This movie is actually quite good," he said, and quickly filled faro in on what he'd missed.
 
Faro nods lazily before trying to focus on the screen. At least he understands what's going on now. "Definitely better now I know what's going on." He says, moving his arm over Jay's shoulder, wanting to just be closer.
 
Jay smiled and let himself melt against Faro's form.  They watched the film.  When Rick convinced Ilsa to get on the plane with Victor for the sake of the Resistance, Jay actually found himself getting misty.
 
"Are you crying?" Faro asks teasingly. He hasn't gotten into the movie quite as much as Jay, although he has actually been watching now. "Didn't think you were the type to cry at a film." 
 
Jay rolled his eyes and blinked the incipient tears away.  "Shut up," he grumbled, though he was smiling.  "Maybe I just needed someone to give me a reason to appreciate them."
 
"You're cute." Faro says, placing a kiss on Jay's forehead. The movie seems like it's nearly over and he'll probably have to head home soon. "Can I stay over?" It's probably a stupid question. He's already been falling asleep on the other boy.
 
"Well we could help you find her before we go?" Astrid offer while pulling herself up into the saddle on Stormfly's back. "Would she be here in Storybrooke somewhere?"


As anxious as she was to get back to Berk Astrid defiantly owed Eragon one for healing Stormfly. Berk had always been a strong village, surely they could wait just a little longer for her to return.

"No. She'll be in Alagaësia." Eragon states as if it's helpful. It's an entirely different land to here and the enchanted forest, so there's no chance the girl will know the way there. "I know the way. I could help you direct her." Travel between lands is a mess, and know the way is a bit vague, but once you're above the clouds it's easy enough to reach where you want to be.
 
Rumplestiltskin


"You have too much to worry about on your plate already, Belle." Rumplestiltskin said. "I'm not going to add my burdens their too."


@Zaryn
 
Emma quickly turned and ran to Henry, "Henry are you alright? What's wrong?" She asked looking all around, she then turned to Regina, "do something!"


Loki


Loki couldn't really sleep, it wasn't because he was in another person's home that he barely knew, it was just that for some reason his mind wouldn't let him. So he decided to explore the town some more, he walked out of the house and back into the streets.
 
Astrid grinned more then happy to help and having someone to navigate for them wasn't a bad deal either. "Do you mind if we stop by Berk first. Hiccup probably has the whole village out looking for me by now." She said with a slight roll of her eyes, knowing easily Hiccup could over react to her being gone so long. 


As Astrid held out a hand to help Eragon up into Stormfly as well, the deadly nadder quickly turned her head, as if having heard something a human's ears couldn't. Stormfly gave a nervous chirp as if something were making her uneasy. 
 
Regina looked up as Henry cried out, startled out of her reverie.  Her eyes were wide with concern, and she was sure her makeup had run all down her face with tears.  "Henry?  Baby, it's okay, I'm here," she said.  Glancing at Emma, she added, "We're both here."

Jay returned the kiss on Faro's forehead.  "Yes," he said.  "We can go to bed.  It, uh, doesn't have to be...  It can just be sleep, if that's what you'd like."

Hayes was a little surprised at the boy's cry and that uneasy feeling swirled once more. He shoved it away violently and turned to face Archie.


"Feeling better, my friend?" Hayes asked with fake worry. He was really starting to get good at this concerned friend act. "Do you want to stretch your legs?"


@Riuma
 
Henry Mills


Henry's eyes rolled into the back of his head and his muscles started to spasm. 


@Chello @commanderproton


Archie Hopper


"Yes please, my legs feel stiff for laying down for who knows long." 'Archie' said. "Let's take a walk and catch up, I am sure we have much to talk about."
