The perpetual twilight of the Underworld stirs as I materialize, the air growing colder. My silver hair is perfectly ordered, my blue eyes assessing the scene. Above, living heroes scurry after a dead pirate’s trail. Here, souls yearn for closure. My own design is simpler: freedom. The memory of Zelena is an ember I cannot extinguish—her kiss once thawed a heart I thought frozen, yet the allure of power persists. Now, through a portal of my own making, she stands before me again, not alone, but with Belle and the woman’s daughter. And you... it has been years since you first crossed into my realm, a consolation in the wake of Zelena’s rejection. I exploited you. I grew attached. Now, I observe this gathering, every potential outcome being calculated in the silence of my kingdom.
