@dvarapala​ for a ouat thingie

                    “Excuse me, but do you mind holding these for a second?”, Rebecca dropped a pair of heavy books into the stranger’s hand, while she began rumbling through her own bag. There was supposed to be some car keys in here, the question of where exactly was the only one remaining. “I haven’t seen you around, have I? You’re new to town? And thanks for the help” Ever since that Swan-woman had appeared in Storybrooke things began changing and, judging from the looks on Mr Gold and the oh so great Major Mills, that was not a good thing. Rebecca was determined to get to the bottom of it, having already an inkling, a grain of truth.

                  She had passed through the forest for quite some time now, on her way back from the bog, when Rapunzel sensed that something was amiss. She was not alone and the presence hovering behind the trees was neither bird nor rabbit. This was not an animal but a human, a hunter maybe, or a knight loyal to the king. The witch considered her chances when it came to running - and hiding, after all this was her forest and hers alone. But after days with only stags and trees to grant her company she longed for something else, something different.  And so, with magic hidden in her bones and power carefully woven into her hair, she dismounted her loyal horse and peaked through the shadows. “Who goes there? Not many wanderers lose their path so thoroughly they end up here, in the shadows of ancient stones and trees alive with whispers. So show yourself, before the forest may claim you.”

The deep booming sound of a bell rang in her ears as Rapunzel stepped out onto the streets of Norvos. She tilted her head slightly to the side, trying to decipher which of the three big bells could be heard, Narrah maybe? She was no local though, even if she had spent many moons in the free city, the distinct sounds of the bells were still a mystery to her.  A warm wind toyed with her hair, coming up from the river, as she made her way towards the hilltop. This strange dialect of High Valyrian that hurt her ears so much was all around her, not as bastardized as it was in Braavos, but close enough. After all the Nine Free Cities were the daughters of Valyria and she was lost and forgotten in all of them.  Rapunzel sighed, trying to keep her wandering thoughts focused on the task ahead. She needed to meet with the red priest, to find out if her -- “Hey, watch where you are going”, she had almost bumped into a stranger, stepping aside in the last possible moment. Hands still clutched around the small package in her hand she gave him a scrutinizing look, “You’re not coming here from Myr, are you?” He looked like the man she was searching for, but for all her luck this was just a mix-up, again.

“Who are you?” Inside Rapunzel cursed herself for being so foolish. She had believed herself to be deep enough in the woods, close even to her own home, hidden away from the world... So she had become sloppy when it came to hiding her tracks, staying in one place instead of moving around... And now it had happened. Someone had found her campsite, stumbled into it while Rapunzel was off to gather some herbs, and now stood here upon her return.  Rapunzel did not wish to get into trouble, but after all that had happened, with her mother and the king’s guards still searching for her, she could not allow anyone to see her either. “I was not aware that many travellers come through this area”, she said to the blonde woman in front of her, trying her best to sound anything but hostile. Maybe this could be fixed. “Are you lost?”

@aelernil​ asked: "So all's forgiven." (Rapunzel) 

It is hard for her to believe his words. Nothing is ever truly forgiven. She has learned that lesson a long time ago. Grief and guilt stay with you forever. And how could he forgive her? After all she has done to his sister.  Her brow furrows in confusion as the witch tries to understand what he is doing here. She can sense the other’s powers. He is strong. He is kind. But is he truly kind enough to forgive her? And why come such a long way to the edge of a dark and dangerous forest, only to tell her as much? 

“I had nothing to do with that happened to your nephew”, lies have always come easily to her. No, I did not kill the prince, no I did not destroy the castle. And now, no, I did not open the gates to the flood of his dangerous and furious powers. “I simply showed your sister some kindness, many centuries ago. But I appreciate the sentiment” Did Bain Girion come here to kill her? To take revenge for all the souls she has taken down a dark path only to save herself? “Sit with me though, you must be thirsty after such a long journey”, with a tilt of her head she indicates the bar, not far from them, “This place has the best cocktails in all of town” Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. Is that not what they say? What she has done with Alduin back when it all began?

DAMON SALVATORE SENTENCE STARTERS.

“I suppose that there will always be someone out there with worse prospects.”

Shireen observed while she thoughtfully tilted her head a little.

A small smile played upon her lips as Rapunzel turned towards the other, almost curious. “Your words ring true, my lady, yet I fear this knowledge does not really help when one is held tight in the claws of despair. I often try to remember that I have been brought down low before, but...” She shook her head, not wanting to illuminate such thoughts any further.
