Synopsis: Alternate Season Six. Storybrooke is visibly under threat once more from Hyde and the Evil Queen. However, not all threats are visible as an old forgotten foe has been manipulating events from behind the scenes. The very nature of darkness is revealed as everyone struggles with the most difficult beast of all – acceptance.
Note: Here’s the promised Friday chapter! I feel I should apologize for the length of Morgan’s quest, I got rather carried away. However, unlike the show, if I spend time on a guest star it doesn’t take away screentime from the main characters – it’ll just make the fic longer. For fans of Stargate SG1, you might recognize the test of bravery and self-sacrifice, it was the Asgard test for the Cimmerians in 2×06 Thor’s Chariot. Enjoy!

~Flashback~
Ten Years Ago (outside the dark curse)“Are you sure about this?” Allison asked.
Morgan squeezed her hand reassuringly, as he warily eyed the cave entrance. He nodded firmly.
“Yes, it has to be done.”After he had found the map, with the location marked with an X, in Merlin’s tower, Morgan had gone home. He had found his wife and told her a version of the truth, that
he had to go on a quest and that he didn’t know when he would return. However, Allison had surprised him, and not just because she had found the map and
confronted him with it.The ‘not Zeus’ headcanon accepted! *Bangs gavel down*
Heh thanks!
The show actually contradicted themselves with Zeus, which is what gave me the idea. They showed the pages of the book, of Hades story on screen, and some lovely soul transcribed them for the show wiki. Zeus is described as a bear of a man, with muscles like tree trunks. That is not the Zeus we saw on screen, who looked practically like a teenager.
Hence it wasn’t Zeus. Hook didn’t ask any questions, just made assumptions and no-one else saw him. Made sense to me. Thanks for commenting! 🙂
