Cora Mills

"Love is weakness. It feels real now. At the start, it always does. But, it’s an illusion. It fades. And then, you’re left with nothing. But power, true power, endures. And then, you don’t have to rely on anyone to get what you want."

Time began moving again and Cora continued on with her mission to reunite with her daughter. An alliance with Hook had been made only for it to be put on hold. Purple smoke that once took everyone from this land came back to the Enchanted Forest, and a smirk had fallen on the face of the Evil Queen’s mother. She knew that meant everyone originally from this world was about to come home, and one of those inhabitants would be her daughter. Leaving Hook’s side and no longer wanting any ties to him, Cora headed back to the palace that was once her daughter’s. Instead of greeting her daughter as planned, Core found herself greeting another woman instead.

“Hello, dear. My name is Cora. The woman you seek is my daughter.”

“Ah yes I have heard of you, from the blue fairy…Hm…” Tinkerbell would say as she would crossed her arms lightly.  “I have heard you are the one who had Regina marry the king…snow white’s father..”  She would also add a remark to what she had said. 

“Why did you ruin Regina’s life?” She would asked as she looked at her titling her head a bit. “And Sorry If i did introduced myself properly, I am Tinkerbell.” She said as she did a curtsy.

“The Blue Fair, of course.” Cora couldn’t help but give the woman a small smirk as her arms crossed in front of her. “I didn’t make my daughter marry Snow White’s father at all, dear. It was Regina’s duty to marry the king.” As Tinkerbell continued to question her, Cora paced the room and smiled to herself. “I never ruined my daughter’s life, Tinkerbell. I was just a mother doing what I thought was best for her child.”

Tinker bell would flying about around the queen’s castle, While flying she would be landing on the queen’s balcony  “The curse, brought us back which is good to be back but where’s Regina?” She would say in her mind as she walked around the queens bedroom then looks around still. 

Then She would see a shadowy form of was suppose to be Regina as she thought it was but she stares at it.  “Hello? Who are you?” She would called out

@dashing-pirate​ replied to this:

that's not the spirit, love. I reckon you'll start to miss me when we part ways.

And why do you think I’ll miss you when we part ways? That pretty face of yours doesn’t work with me. You’re simply a means to an end just like I am one for you. You needed me to get your revenge on the Dark One, and I needed you to get to Storybrooke to see my daughter.

[ofheartsandmagic]

Do you think you and Hook make a good team? You both seem to be working well together and getting stuff done.

We make a good team when it comes to both of us needing a way to get to Storybrooke, but we certainly don’t see eye to eye on everything. I doubt we will continue to work together once we both get what we want.

[ofheartsandmagic]

So Emma and Mary Margaret bested you. You couldn't take Emma's heart. What happened?

I don’t know, anon. Out of all my years doing magic, encountering something such as not ripping someone’s heart out was perhaps the most... peculiar. You can believe I will discover why that is.

[ofheartsandmagic]

Have you had much experience with pirates or just Hook? Do you know Blackbeard?

All you need to know is that I’ve had my fair share of experiences with everyone, dear. I know how to handle a pirate.

What do you think of Emma?

She’s brave but quite foolish, anon. Emma is very much like her mother by not thinking of her actions first and the consequences that come after them. The poor girl is young and naive.

When Cora reached out to him, he knew it was time. He could already taste the victory of jamming his hook right into the neck of Rumplestiltskin and finally avenging his love after so many years. Cora may not be the most trustworthy or easy to read, but she certainly had her uses. She got stuff done, just like he did. They make quite the team already and so far he was closer than he’d ever been to finally getting what he wanted. He took in the horizon ahead of him as she spoke, the gentle breeze against his face refreshing as he tried to imagine that a place like Storybrooke would be like. And what the crocodile would be doing there.

“I consider myself an expert,” he told her, tucking away his spyglass before looking at Cora with her thing of dirt, “you’ve come to the right man, love. Then what’s the next phase of our plan once I’ve earned their trust?”

“You’ve already been around camp doing well keeping to yourself.” Cora replied with a smile. “Now you’re going to be the only survivor among them. The hearts of those in camp will ripped from them by yours truly, and you will be found by one of them. If you can convince them you were the lone survivor and gain their trust, I have no doubt that you will gain some information that will help us get to my daughter and for you to skin yourself a crocodile at last.”

[ofheartsandmagic]

Do you think you and Hook will make it to Storybrooke? How do you plan to get there?

I know we will get to Storybrooke. Between a mother willing to do whatever it takes to see her daughter and a pirate on the path of vengeance, nothing will stop us. How we plan on getting there is staying strictly between us.

[ofheartsandmagic]

So how do you plan to see your daughter with the curse gone? Do you know where she is?

Thanks to Emma and Snow White, I know exactly where she is. My daughter needs me and nothing will stop me from getting to Storybrooke.

[ofheartsandmagic]

Why didn't you just fire the Stable Boy and send him far away rather than kill him? Why does it always resort to death? There were other ways to handle the situation.

Are there other ways? Of course. Would such ways get things done and make my daughter the best she could be and not be held back by love? Not at all. Love is weakness, anon. Power is strength-- freedom. Power to obtain ones desires matter more. I like results, dear. Sometimes drastic choices have to be made. Besides, Daniel was too weak for my daughter, anyway. He was holding her back.

[ofheartsandmagic]

Despite losing the wardrobe thanks to Emma burning it, hope was not lost for Cora Mills in the end. She knew magic was something Emma and Snow White weren’t skilled with, and Cora knew of many possibilities to open a portal when all hope seemed lost. As she approached Hook at their meeting spot on the shores of the beach, a small smirk pulled at the corners of her mouth. “Hello, Hook.” The two began conversing after that regarding what Cora learned from her time disguised as Lancelot. “Before you can finally skin yourself a crocodile, I think it’s time for you to really play the part of a blacksmith. I left Emma, Snow White, Mulan, and Aurora in Snow’s old home-- my daughter’s rightful home. How good are you when it comes to lying?” She had a plan to kill everyone and wanted Hook to gain their trust, but Cora had to make sure this was something the handsome pirate was capable of doing.

[ofheartsandmagic]

Do you ever regret the things you did to Regina?

The only thing I regret is pushing her so hard that she felt the need to push me away. I hope she knows that I only wanted her to be the best she could be. 

[ofheartsandmagic]

Where do you keep your heart?

Well, anon, what I will tell you is that I don’t keep my heart in the same place as everyone else... but why would I tell you it’s exact whereabouts? What do you gain by such information?

[ofheartsandmagic]

What would be your ideal situation for you and your family? What would make you happy?

To thrive, anon. To win our happy ending. I didn’t know what thriving meant when I was young. My father and I were poor and I worked in various mills to make ends meet. We were unsure when or where our next meal would be. I never want to go back to that and once I pursued a better life and obtained it-- obtained my magic and power, well, I never looked back.

For me, I’m happy to finally thrive, and see my daughter get what she wanted for a long time. I’m happy that Regina has realized her true strength-- her power. All I ever wanted from her was to be the best she could be.

[ofheartsandmagic]

Do you blame yourself for Regina being so evil? Because it is your fault. Is this what you wanted for her?

My, my, anon. Someone’s feeling rather... plucky today. Would you say that to my face or still hide behind that grey face of yours? You really have no idea who you’re dealing with, do you?
