"No. No I am not a killer. And I mean that in every sense of the word. I almost fainted when I got a paper cut. I can't just kill someone" Aurelia said.
"I thought a mother would do anything for her child?" Gideon said.
"No, that's...that's not...why even ask me? Why not ask Emma, the Savior? I mean I know you tried to kill her but maybe if you apologized-"
"See, that's why I need you. Emma is only the savior because of you. Because of the goodness that you bring to the universe. She may have light magic but you are the light. You are the anthesis of the Black Fairy, powers or not. Even if you can no longer heal people you still are the sundrop flower" he said.
"And it is for all those reasons that you know I cannot kill her," Aurelia said.
"But you must. Or she will come for your baby" he said.
"What?"
"It's what she does. With all the light magic you're child has, the Black Fairy will corrupt her. Teach her that you are her enemy and order her to kill you" he said.
"What about Killian?" Aurelia asked. "Where is he?"
"He's fine, for now," Gideon said. "You can get him back after we destroy the Black Fairy together."
"How do you expect me to do anything with no powers?" Aurelia asked.
"Don't worry. You just be you and I'll take care of the rest" he said.
"What does that mean?" she asked, but instead of giving her a clear answer, Gideon smiled before he disappeared into a cloud of yellow smoke.

"Gold! Get out here. Now!" Emma shouted as she and Aurelia walked inside. "We've got questions, and you better have answers."
"Please" Aurelia added.
Gold sighed as he walked out from the back room of his shop. "What is it now?"
"It's Gideon" Aurelia said. "He's trapped Killian...somewhere, I don't really know. But I was right! He didn't leave me. Well not intentionally at least. And now he won't let him return until I help him kill the Black Fairy."
"You?" Gold asked, wondering why his son would choose her of all people and not the Savior standing next to her.
"That's exactly what I said!" Aurelia exclaimed.
"Look, we don't know anything about the Black Fairy but I'm guessing you do," Emma said.
"Yeah, she's my mother" he shrugged.
"But you're so old-" Aurelia quickly stopped speaking as he glared at her.
"She stole Gideon from the Blue Fairy. Took him away to another realm where time moves differently. Tortured him...for 28 years" Gold said.
