Summary: When Loki desires to never fall in love, he casts a spell to prevent such a thing from happening. Except, well, in the matters of love and magic, you never know the result it may have in the end. Loki x Reader

A/N: This one’s a bit long and the next one will also be pretty long. I’ve just got a lot I want to include! Tags are open! (Send me an ask/message/response.)

TTSWL Masterlist

Loki scowled as you led him once more out of the beaten path. He’s forced to descend down the damn hill again until you are content at the bare field that laid ahead of you. Loki glares at the sun that is beating down at them but is relieved at the cool breeze that flowed through the nearby trees.

“Why did you bring me out here again?” Loki asks. “Isn’t the point of an indoor training facility is to train indoors?”

“After the incident from yesterday morning I decided it would be best if we trained away from everyone,” you answer. “I really don’t need to hear more of my friends confessing things to me.”

“Come on,” Loki drawls. “I’m sure a tiny part of you enjoyed it.”

You hadn’t and yet a sharp sting runs down your spine at his words. As if your power was reprimanding you for lying to yourself. You try to ignore it but involuntarily shiver and Loki grins at the action.

You hate his grin.

You don’t necessarily hate him even though you had many reasons to.

Loki destroyed New York in an attempt to rule over mankind. He also got his ass chewed out by his parents when he got sent back home.

Now he was here, claiming to be better, reformed.

You had yet to see it but noticing how miserable Loki was in the past months roaming the halls of the Tower you knew the slow punishment was certainly fitting the crime.

Though now, things seem to be working out for him.

“Look, I don’t want to question your superior knowledge on this matter but there has to be another way for me to expel the excess power I keep surging,” you state. “I can’t be blasting things hours at end so I don’t physically implode.”

“There are other ways but they’re more complicated,” Loki answers as he crosses his arms. He was hoping that would put an end to that question but you pestered on.

“So?” you ask him. “I can handle it.”

Loki snorts.

The arrogance you held was comedic. He would blame your humanity for the awful trait but his brother and his merry band of friends were endowed with it too.

“You’re asking me to teach you how to wield your seidr,” Loki explains. “In mortal words that should help you comprehend, you want me to teach you how to cast spells. It will expel your powers but not as quickly or as greatly as the siphons will.”

“So is that a yes?” you ask him unable to fight the smile on your lips. Loki rolls his eyes but you continue. “Come on. I’m trying to find the silver lining to this new power. If I can cast spells like a witch then I want to learn.”

“I take offense to the word witch,” Loki mutters, noticing how your fingers fidget with the gold siphons. Your obvious discomfort of them was written so plainly on your face. “Even if you could cast spells, you’ll still have to wear and use the siphons daily.”

“Are you agreeing to teach me then?” you ask him. For once you were excited at the prospect of this lesson.

“My spells of expertise reside on tricks and lies,” Loki explains. “They won’t work for you so I will have to figure out spells that rely on your ability of the truth.”

“Seriously?” you deflate. “There’s nothing you can teach me today?”

“Well I had planned to teach you how to pull out secrets and confessions in a more covert way, but you won’t allow my lesson, will you?”

You shake your head and Loki rubs his eyes tiredly.

“Just teach me something simple!” you offer. “Something that you as a kid managed to pull off and then I’ll subject myself to your lesson without questions or commentary.”

Loki watches you silently realizing that you needed this distraction. It’s been obvious from the beginning that this power was something you hated. He was confused by this anger. Had it been him in your shoes, Loki would be elated to be more powerful than before.

Of course, you were a different breed.

From what he could tell by his observations, you were beloved by all. Strong, kind, and smart to be considered at the same level as many of these heroes you surround yourself with. You did it all by yourself and with the single motivation of wanting to do good for the world.

Your intentions are and have always been so pure that Loki wonders if that is why the Book of Veritas deemed you worthy to release its power into you.

“I can teach you how to shield…”

“Come on, I know you have something more fun up your sleeve,” you interject.

Loki tries to think but he finds himself distracted by the warm smile on your face. He’s seen it in the company of others but never had it been directed to him. You had never spent this much time with him to deem him one.

“I uh… I cast childish spells. They all rhymed too. I don’t think…”

Loki doesn’t understand why his mind drives him to that particular memory again. Of floating rose petals and impossible possibilities. He’s horrified by it. Especially as you take notice of it.

“You know of one,” you point out, your smile widening. “What is it?”

Loki hesitates but he knows that if he withholds his response for too long you’ll be onto him in seconds. You’ll pry the answer out of him. The truth coming out one way or another.

“It was a foolish love spell.”

“A love spell?” you repeat amused. “Little Loki wanted to fall in love?”

Surprisingly enough, you don’t laugh or make fun of him. Loki is wary by the lack of it but answers your question nonetheless.

“I desired the opposite actually,” he explains. “I don’t wish to ever fall in love.”

“And why is that?”

“I’m not going to answer that,” Loki states.

You’re very curious to know the answer, but Loki’s privacy was one you had yet to invade without his permission. He deserves to keep his secrets in the same way that you didn’t always deserve the truth.

“So how do I cast this love spell?” you ask him.

“Wish to fall in love?” Loki asks, turning the focus on you.

You shrug carelessly, “Maybe.”

“Don’t have enough admirers already?”

“What are you going on about?” you ask with a roll of your eyes. “I don’t have any admirers.”

“You can’t be serious.”

You stare at him confused and Loki sighs in response.

“You are.”

Loki looks away in exasperation causing you to fidget again.

“Just spit it out already,” you exclaim.

“Bucky and Sam admitted they found you attractive yesterday morning,” Loki states. “And don’t get me started on the Captain…”

“Steve doesn’t see me that way,” you sigh. “We’re just friends. All of them are my friends.”

“Well, all of your friends are attracted to you.”

You can’t avoid the sudden warmth that encompasses your face as you realize he’s being honest. You try to stammer out a response but the words are useless.

“I uh… I mean… They’re not…”

You take a deep breath trying to ignore Loki’s obvious amusement.

“I don’t see any of them that way,” you respond curtly. “They are attractive men. Actually very attractive. I’m honestly surprised that the entire team hasn’t been poached by a model agency by now.”

“You’re straying away from the point.”

“Right, well…” you stumble. “The point is that I don’t find myself romantically attracted to them. They’re great guys but I need more.”

Loki doesn’t really care for your explanation and yet he finds himself intrigued.

What more could you possibly want?

You had the whole world in your hands and yet you desired more.

There was only one way to find the answer and he dreaded the mere thought of it.

“The love spell needs some binding elements,” Loki states. “I used rose petals but you can use whatever you can find.”

You can’t help the smile on your face as he conjures a small gold bowl in his hands for you to use. You eagerly take it from him and Loki watches as you skip away to collect whatever you can find.

“You are going to bind your desires to these elements so I would suggest you choose wisely.”

You heed his warnings before coming back to him.

“Ok I’ve got them,” you tell him. “What now?”

Loki looks down at the filled bowl and scowls.

A few autumn leaves, daisies, and blades of grass.

“Interesting choices,” Loki mutters. “Do you have your spell in mind?”

“No,” you answer. “But why don’t you tell me how yours went and I can just… copy that.”

Loki notices the mischief laced in your smile. Your intentions were so blatantly clear because you had no wish to hide them from him. He wonders if this was a side effect of your powers or if it was from your original character.

“A yellow rose petal for friendship, a white one for youth, a red rose petal for love and a blue one for truth,” Loki states. “...And that is all you’re hearing from me. The rest is none of your concern.”

“Fine,” you smile. “Keep the juicy bits to yourself.”

You take a deep breath and look down at the contents inside your bowl.

“For my heart I wish to have... a man who loves me with all that he has. Blades of grass to signal he’s lean. A fighter, a lover, a man of means. Autumn leaves and daisies of plenty. I hope to find love when I least expect it.”

Loki could taste the magic in the air. He closes his eyes and feels the warmth and softness brush against his skin. He waits to hear your shocked gasp as the elements in the bowl begin to float away but it never comes.

“Is something supposed to happen?” you ask him as he opens his eyes to find the bowl still filled. “I feel like something should have happened.”

“You’re indeed right,” Loki frowns. “Your binding elements should have flown away to find your perfect pair.”

“Did I do it wrong?”

Loki shakes his head. He could still feel the residue of your magic and the spell was perfectly casted.

“Repeat it again.”

So you do feeling the bowl grow warm in your hands.

The magic is more pungent now and Loki feels how heavy it lays around them. Before he could decipher the phenomenon, the entire contents of the bowl blew up between them. You and Loki are covered in the debris of grass, shrivelled up leaves, and daisy petals.

“Ok,” you cough out. “Was that supposed to happen?”

“Not at all,” Loki scowls as he brushes off the remains from his person.

“What does it mean?” you ask as you pull off a petal from your hair.

The magic was fading away from the air and Loki had no explanation to offer as to why your love spell had gone wrong.

Perhaps your demands were too much, but if that were the case that meant Loki’s spell had actually worked while yours didn’t. Someone who wanted love couldn’t achieve it while someone who didn’t had.

Loki lets out a sigh.

“I have no idea,” Loki shrugs as he takes the bowl from your hand and makes it disappear. “You might have infused too much of your power in it and burnt out the spell.”

You can’t help but chuckle.

Loki wasn’t necessarily lying but he wasn’t telling you the entire truth. The thing that surprised you immensely was that you really didn’t care to know what he could possibly be hiding.

Not this time. Perhaps not ever.

#1 - Foster

"She's getting so big," Vittora cen Remianus says.

"She is."

L'haiya agrees more to make conversation than aught else. The Miqo'te's two-toned eyes flicker in the direction of that little head with its riotous crown of rolanberry-gold curls - now bent studiously over a modest tower of wooden bricks - before turning her attention back to the drawn, exhausted face of the child's mother. Vittora has never really been what one would call robust, but at least the composer's pallor had been offset by a bit of spring in her step once upon a time. There is color in her cheeks, of course, a bright rosy flush, but L'haiya suspects the credit for it belongs to artifice and a half-bell spent before a dressing mirror, not to improved health.

"And so very, very bright." There is a note of quiet pride in the Garlean woman's voice, one which L'haiya has previously only heard from her when she speaks of one of her completed commissions premiering in the state playhouses. "I aim to have her brought to my studio on her fourth nameday. She is old enough now to begin pianoforte lessons."

"I wish you good fortune. You will need it," L'haiya laughs. "Small children are rarely wont to sit still for long, especially if something of greater interest catches their eye."

Vittora's shoulders lift and drop, the movement loose and listless, as though her arms are lifted by marionette strings. "Then I shall simply have to be the most fascinating thing in the room," she says, and L'haiya's brow creases before she can stop herself.

"You did not call me here to talk about Aurelia's piano lessons, surely."

The statement, faintly accusatory, falls like lead from her lips. Were it anyone else, she would not have dared to speak thus. The layers of social hierarchy in the Garlean Empire are many and complex, like the fine layers of sponge in a princess cake: upset even one, and it can upend the entire concoction. Vittora is of common stock, but common or not she is still a true Garlean, and one married into one of the realm's most powerful military families at that.

But if the lady of the house is in any way offended by the boldness of her social inferior she does not show it: a rueful smile curves her thin lips. The light in her eyes seems muted, as though refracted through green bottle-glass. "I did not, but this matter very much concerns my daughter."

There is no hiding her worry. Vittora has had occasional spells of illness as long as they have known each other: brief and always fleeting, never longer than a day or two. But the physical strain of carrying a child and the long and difficult labor she endured to bring Aurelia into the world--these have left her a shadow of the sprightly, ambitious woman she once was.

Mingled with the pride in her eyes is sorrow: sorrow, and bone-deep fatigue.

L'haiya swallows past the sudden constriction she feels tightening her throat. "Well," she manages at length, "out with it, then."

"Julian has requested an audience with his brother and with his superiors." L'haiya waits patiently while Vittora coughs into one thinned palm, the sound of it shallow and dry. "The head of the family thinks it best if we take our leave now that Aurelia is old enough to travel."

"...You mean to go to the provinces with him?"

"I do. We were to leave the capital at the first opportunity that presented itself and now that day has come. 'Twas ever a condition of the family's agreement not to disinherit Aurelia for our indiscretion. I fear they have only delayed due to my ill health, and I would not see my child subjected to the ignominy of being declared a bastard."

For the trouble which I have brought upon them. Vittora's self-recrimination hangs between them unspoken and L'haiya does not press further. She is well familiar with the heavy price that her friend has paid, in both her career and her reputation, to marry for love. It does not bear repeating.

"I will do what needs must for her sake, L'haiya. And in this case, those needs coincide with mine own."

"I don't understand."

"The chirurgeons believe that the harshness of the winter months has greatly contributed to my... present deterioration. Master Severus has advised Julian that if at all possible, he should seek a second villa in the southern provinces." After a moment's hesitation, she adds, "He suggested Rabanastre."

L'haiya's homeland. "And you want me to come with you."

"Yes. Now, I know how you feel about Dalmasca-"

"You don't. Not truly. But that is neither here nor there, I suppose."

Vittora's brow knits with her consternation. "...You would not have to see her if you did not wish it. The villas where officers and their families reside are well removed from the rest of the city."

That is not the problem L'haiya faces, but it is not one Vittora would understand. Many have chosen to resist imperial occupation just as there are many who chose to accept their altered circumstances, and L'haiya has seen and heard what the various splinters and pockets of Dalmascan resistance scattered throughout the Estersands do to perceived traitors. "I fail to see why my presence is required in Rabanastre."

"Someone must care for Aurelia."

"Aurelia has her mother. She needs her mother," L'haiya says flatly. "She does not need me."

The Garlean woman folds her hands in her lap, eyes half-shut with her lowered gaze.

"I think I shall not be in her life for very much longer, L'haiya."

"Vittora-"

"You can see the way of things- how it is with me." Leaf-green eyes, seeming enormous in that drawn face, gaze at her with a silent plea in their depths. The distant sorrow has returned and with it a gleam of fear. "The chirurgeons are very careful not to voice their thoughts, but every night when I close my eyes to sleep I can feel another piece of my strength slip away. One more piece I know I shan't have back. They don't need to tell me what I already know."

Understanding strikes her like a bolt of wild levin- or perhaps a brutal punch to the gut. Looking at Vittora with this newfound discovery she can see a knowing look in her friend's eyes. It is as though Vittora can sense the spectral hand of her own mortality reaching forth from some as yet unwritten future to claim her for its own.

"L'haiya. Please." Vittora's voice is soft, conciliatory. "Julian goes to these lengths because he is not yet willing to face the truth. I need you to be there for her when-"

Vittora doubles over, wheezing, clutching at her chest with one hand. The commotion startles the child out of her play, and L'haiya sees a flash of gold and wide, anxious eyes of a curiously dark blue. Immediately the little girl shoves her toys aside with a loud clatter and clambers to her feet with the clumsiness of the very young. In moments she has reached the grand high-backed chair where her mother sits wreathed in a nest of blankets and soft sheepskin.

"Mama," she tugs on Vittora's sleeve, tiny features crumpled with anxiety. The motion bounces her hair; her still-developing third eye is visible for just a moment beneath that cap of curls, a sliver of pearlescent white no larger than the tip of a fingernail. Her mother's coughing fit recedes, surf pulled away from the shore by a rising tide.

"All is well, sunshine." Vittora's hand falls back to her lap and she raises her chin. Her lips are suspiciously reddened, but she smiles at her daughter and runs her fingers through her hair. Tears stand in her eyes but do not spill. "See?"

"Up, Mama." Heedless of aught save her own desire to give and receive comfort, Aurelia attempts to drag herself onto Vittora's lap. L'haiya gently plucks her fingers from one of the coverlets piled atop her mother's legs, then hoists the child into her arms only for her to make her displeasure known with a thwarted whine. "No!"

"Your mama needs her rest."

"Mama," Aurelia insists, her lower lip wobbling. It's a trick she's used on countless servants and even her own parents in the past but L'haiya is unmoved by it, and merely adjusts the girl's weight from her arm to her hip. As the toddler squirms in her arms, the Miqo'te turns her attention back to the child's mother.

"Since it's clear you'll badger me until the decision is made in your favor, pray consider it done," she says at last, somewhat testily.

"I am eternally grateful." Vittora's smile is in turns sad and knowing, and she cannot bear it for more than a few moments. "Thank you, L'haiya."

Her eyes turn to the wall of white swirling in the storm beyond the window. Somewhere beyond it are the slow blinking lights along the walls that separate the imperial palace complex from the rest of the city, and L'haiya forces herself to shove down the sudden surge of bitterness.

What else is there to say? To do? She knows she could not have refused. She loves Vittora Remianus with the surety of a beloved sister, and she knows what she would do for her own half-sister should such an unlikely circumstance ever occur, and so she will raise this child for her friend's sake. Of course she will. And just as every other citizen of the Empire must do when called to bend to the whims of its rulers, her own dreams are not so much relinquished as they are flung into the darkness, to be discarded along with all the other parts of herself she has sacrificed to fill an imperfect mold.

She feels as though she has just given her life away. She knows she has.

Outside, the northern wind howls around the villa's steel eaves like a despairing scream.

Hello, everyone! Even though Devil Seokjin’s story has been complete for quite some time, I am still not ready to give it up /sobs/. I still receive some asks about the universe as a whole and how it works, and because I am in the middle of writing a Hoseok story set in the same world, I’ve been imagining and creating a more in depth universe as I go. I think it would be beneficial and informative if I compiled it all into one post. As well as fun!

I’m unsure if there are any loop holes, or perhaps, if I will change some things in the near future, as I began writing The Devil’s Wears Armani before I even thought of the universe and how it works. But if anything changes, I will update this post! Additionally, if you notice something I haven’t spoken about, or have any other questions, please ask away!

The more I write about this universe, the harder I fall for it. Some things found in this post I have already included in existing fics, some will be included in the Hoseok fic, and the rest are saved for two additional ideas I may get to writing, Yoongi and Jimin’s. So, fingers crossed!

;index

i. how being a devil works ii. how hell works iii. how selling souls work iv. characters in the universe v. stories in the universe vi. potential stories in the universe vii. characters with no stories

i. how being a devil works

• A devil works pretty much the same way as a human. They have the same lifespan and will die of old age eventually. The only difference is that they can not die from human illnesses. Terminal or other.

• Although that’s a little up in the air now! With the revelation that some devils can turn more human with their time on earth; like catch the flu, needing prescription glasses, getting drunk etc (Seokjin, I’m looking at you...)

• Devils do not have any magical powers. They are just a lot more cunning than your average human! The only “magic” per se, is the removal of the human’s soul.

(See more: iii. how selling your soul works.)

• You cannot get turned into a devil! You’re either devil or human. However, if a devil mates with a human, they will create halfbreeds! These can die from human related illnesses, but can reside in hell if they like.

• Most devils are just like humans. They see themselves as equal and alike, and have no qualms with befriending/falling in love with one. These are usually the ones who live on earth! But there are exceptions. Jimin for example; he likes living on earth and has no problem being friends with humans, but he doesn’t think he will ever fall in love with one, because they wouldn’t “get” him fully. (Cue, a potential Jimin oneshot.) Also, there are probably also devils who live in hell but have no qualms with humans.

• However there are also devils who segregate the species. Hoseok for example, who is only interested in them for sex. And there are also devils who hate earth and wish the integration never happened (again, Hoseok.)

• There are probably also more “evil” devils, lurking in the depths of hell (maybe even earth) but that’s not really a part of the universe I will ever concentrate on. However, they do exist.

• A lot of humans obviously know of the existence of devils, it’s just a very well kept secret. They blend in so well, it would be impossible to tell anyway, unless they disclosed it to you! Many businesses in the human world are run my devils (popular or small), and most devils on earth work beside humans in normal day to day jobs.

ii. how hell works

• Devils can choose to live in hell or on earth, due to the integration of both species that Seokjin’s father implemented back when he was alive (Seokjin’s father was the original CEO of the accounting company on earth and after his death Jin took his place as both CEO and “King” devil.)

• Seokjin just like his father did, and his grandfather before him, keeps hell in check and is in charge. Head devil if you will! Seokjin’s twins are the heirs to hell and shall share it when they come of age/Seokjin gives it up/he dies.

• That’s why he leaves Hoseok in charge whilst he lives on earth. Now Hoseok makes sure everything is in check while he’s away. Hoseok is his childhood family/best friend (their fathers were close friends) so Seokjin trusts him with such a job even if their lifestyles are vastly different now.

• Hell is filled with the devils who don’t want to live on earth or just ones that share their time between both. It is also filled with the humans who sold their souls.

• A devil will take a human’s soul most of the time without disclosing the truth behind their decision. Which is; once agreeing to sell their soul their life is a ticking time bomb. They will die within the year and thus get sent to hell to live there for eternity. (See more: iii. how selling your soul works.)

• A human can only reside in hell if their souls have been taken. It is impossible any other way unless they are a halfbreed (half devil, half human).

• To put it simply, hell looks and acts like earth for the most part. Devils have companies and jobs. There are rich and poor ones. The humans must work too. However, if they are lucky enough or cunning enough they can survive by finding a devil mate who will look after them. The night life in hell is very prominent. It’s all about partying and sex.

• The only difference between hell and earth is that there are levels. This is a little hard to explain, but basically the level I talk about and will write about (Hoseok oneshot) is the top level of hell (the one closest to earth). The most civilised level. One that works like developed (and capitalised) countries in the human world. You work to live and pay your dues.

• I’m not sure how many levels there are but the deeper you go, the deeper you go into no mans land, or more fittingly, no devils land lol. These literally could range from red terrains, pitch black land, and the deepest of levels, the true pits of hell, filled with fire and hot lava. It is said, that the True One, Satan himself lives there. In my mind, some levels are used by certain devils (maybe the most evil ones), some are used as tomb storage for the dead demons. One is used as a type of prison (devil and human) and some are used for the now immortal, soulless humans when things get too eternal/overpopulated. (See more: iii. how selling your soul works.)

• I have also wondered how hell would work as a whole… Like is it just as vast as the world above? How would that work? Surely Seokjin couldn’t be in charge of the entire stretch of endless lands in hell and to be honest, that’s something i’m still thinking about lol. In my mind, the best scenario is for there to be multiple devils who are in charge of separate stretches of land. (ie. America, Britain, Asia etc in the human world, but of course, they’d have their own names in hell!) When Seokjin says he rules hell that would be an exaggeration. He is just one out of the multiple devils that rule hell together! He would only rule one part of hell if this idea is true! But yeah, still working on this one, and seeing as I’m concentrating on Seokjin’s area of hell in this universe, it doesn’t matter anyway!

iii. how selling your soul works

• So a lot of humans accidentally summon a devil (See TDWA.) This means they would have no prior knowledge that demonkind exist until then. Summoning would basically be “I would sell my soul/I want to sell my soul…” etc and then poof, a devil appears!

• Humans could also know a devil beforehand and sell their soul that way. But one thing is for sure, they rarely know of the consequences. A lot of the devils who take souls do it just because they can (it’s fun/asserts their superiority/used as a bragging tool etc). Some devils will not go through with the soul taking if they think it’s for stupid reasons (and of course, it they are a little more humane!)

• Humans think it will get them what they want instantly but of course there is a price and that is death! After selling their soul they will die within a year. They are always given what they asked for/what they wanted, before that but are unable to reap the benefits in the long run (depending on what it is).

• Also note; some humans want their soul to be taken so they can go to hell, despite the repercussions. (I have a yoongi fic planned with this sort of storyline). Maybe they hate earth, want to follow someone, or are just plain greedy and think they know it all. Whatever the reason, a lot of the time they are not always tricked.

• Does a human change upon their soul getting taken? Not really, but their humanity would drop substantially after residing in hell for a long time. They would harden as a person and often become greedy and self obsessed (if they weren’t already). But it’s more so hell changing them as a person, not the removal of the soul.

• A devil will rarely take the soul of someone over 50. They do not want OAPs roaming around hell (ruins the aesthetic lol) but of course there are exceptions.

• Once in hell, you are there for eternity. It is impossible to escape, and that effectively makes them immortal. They do not age, and are basically cursed. Living forever in a place that is not their own, nor are they truly welcomed/respected. (Of course there are exceptions.)

• Like i said earlier, they have to work, but if they find a devil mate then they usually look after them/help them out. Only problem is only a small percentage of devils are monogamous in hell, so they can get pretty bored of their human “plaything” quite quickly. Not that a lot of humans care. They can sometimes be hooking up with numerous devils at once. Basically everyone pretty much loves sex in hell lol, but maybe some fall in love who knows...

• Humans can also fall for other humans. There’s no rule to that either, and that would probably work out better considering the whole immortality/cursed for eternity thing.

• Humans can not conceive nor impregnate in Hell.

• One last thing; which is again a little up in the air and something I need to work on, is that I probably need to think of an overpopulation problem. If devils are takings souls willy nilly it’s going to get pretty crowded fast. This is where the levels come in! I’ve already said there is a level working as a jail. There is a law to follow even in hell, so anymore breaking it in the top level will get dropped to “jail” (human and devil.)

• Living for eternity doesn’t seem pleasant at all, so I have an idea. If a human gets bored of life, they can just stop existing. That includes no eating or drinking and eventually they will become immobile, not really alive nor dead. This means they can be kept in tombs in a deeper level of hell! Haven’t really thought much about that, for example, is it the human’s choice? or are they forced? Is there a time period in which they can exist in the top level of hell?? Again, all up in the air, but possible solutions.

• And lastly, is there a way a human can officially “die” in hell? They wouldn’t really need to seeing as they could be kept immobile but I have been toying with the idea of incineration to be the final, fitting death of any soulless humans. (They would have to be immobile first.)

“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.” -- Albert Camus

“We are unusual, tragic, and alive.” -- Dave Eggers

“I have a very childlike rage, and a very childlike loneliness.” -- Richey Edwards

“’Are you implying that shreds of my reputation remain intact?’ Will demanded with mock horror. ‘Clearly I have been doing something wrong. Or not something wrong, as the case may be.’ He banged on the side of the carriage. ‘Thomas! We must away at once to the nearest brothel. I seek scandal and low companionship.’” -- Will Herondale, Clockwork Angel

“Many atrocities have been done in the name of the greater good.” -- Rhysand, A Court of Mist and Fury

𝖇 𝖆 𝖘 𝖎 𝖈

NAME: Sirius Orion Black NICKNAMES: Padfoot, Pads AGE: 20 BIRTHDAY: 3 November 1959 GENDER: Demiboy, not that he has the word for that PRONOUNS: he/they

𝖋 𝖆 𝖒 𝖎 𝖑 𝖞

MOTHER: Walburga Black ( 55 ) FATHER: Orion Black ( 51, deceased ) SIBLINGS: Regulus Arcturus Black ( 18, deceased )

𝖕 𝖍 𝖞 𝖘 𝖎 𝖈 𝖆 𝖑 𝖆𝖙𝖙𝖗𝖎𝖇𝖚𝖙𝖊𝖘

FACE CLAIM: Samuel Larsen BUILD: Slim and muscular HAIR: Shoulder length and thick, normally kept in a bun HAIR COLOR: Black EYE COLOR: Brown SKIN COLOR: Pale DOMINANT HAND: Right handed, teaching himself slowly to write with his left as well for the hell of it (note: the handwriting is still awful). ANOMALIES: a scar on his upper right lip, ironically a small cluster of star-shaped birthmarks on his left hip (which he hates), a few old cigarette burns on his knees SCENT: leather, old spice, barber shop hair gel, cigarette smoke, motor oil ACCENT: British ALLERGIES: slightly lactose intolerant DISORDERS: Major depression, generalized anxiety, PTSD due to childhood trauma FASHION: Punk rock baby, though probably a bit out of date compared to what muggles are wearing now. He took what he could get during school, and now there’s not enough time in the day to work, be in the Order, and go shopping. NERVOUS TICS: His body becomes more tense, and his eyes dart around the room to search for an exit (or several if possible). He also subconsciously takes a step back from whatever is making him nervous, occasionally messes with his hair to try and act casual (though he does that when he’s bored as well, so it has to be seen with one of the others to be considered a sign of his nerves). If he’s particularly high strung, he’ll lose his nerve completely and lash out, no matter if it’s good or bad for the situation at hand. QUIRKS: Like mentioned above, he messes with his hair a lot when he’s bored, usually pulling it out of its hair tie if up and vice versa if down. He paces when plotting, and purses his lips when he’s thinking considerably. When he’s particularly happy he’ll do a little jump, and he appears to be vibrating a little even afterward. When uncomfortable he’ll try to push that feeling off with either an argument or joke, again no matter whether one of those choices is the wisest at the time.

𝖑 𝖎 𝖋 𝖊 𝖘 𝖙 𝖞 𝖑 𝖊

RESIDES: Plainview Points Apartments BORN: St. Mungo’s Hospital RAISED: Grimmauld Place, London PETS: n/a

CAREER: Auror-in-Training EXPERIENCE: He was part of the Hogwarts dueling club for two years before being kicked out for unfair sportsmanship. He also got a considerate amount of training in magic from an early age thanks to his family, and his mother in particular taught him a bit of dark magic--or tried to. Not that he would use the dark magic, but if push came to shove... he has a few tricks up his sleeve (or, at the very least, the theory behind some of the darker magics). EMPLOYER: Ministry of Magic

POLITICAL AFFILIATION: Order of the Phoenix BELIEFS: Sirius, without a shadow of a doubt, believes that muggleborns and halfbloods deserve to be equal to purebloods. It took him years to believe he was allowed to have that thought process, but he grabbed onto it once he did. Despite the years of unlearning what his family tried to instill in him, it wasn’t all successful. He does still have a superiority complex, and most definitely thinks himself above squibs, muggles, house elves, and so on. It takes more effort for him to respect their opinions as equal to his own, and though he knows that’s wrong, it’s taking a lot longer than he’d like to unlearn that--if he ever can. MISDEMEANORS: Illegal animagus, chase down with James on Elvendork, driving underage on an unregistered motorcycle, his entire list of detentions at Hogwarts FELONIES: Nothing officially on record, so really he’s as innocent as it gets DRUGS: n/a SMOKES: Way too much to be healthy for his lungs ALCOHOL: Not nearly as bad as his smoking habit DIET: Generally unhealthy because he can’t be bothered to cook

LANGUAGES: English, Latin, Spanish, Italian, French, some German

PHOBIAS: Extremely loud noises, snakes, thunderstorms HOBBIES: Causing general mischief, reading what he can get his hands on, doodling (albeit a bit crudely) TRAITS: { + }: loyal, intelligent, observant, quick-witted, sociable { - }: angry, impulsive, insensitive, defiant, pessimistic

𝖋 𝖆 𝖛 𝖔 𝖗 𝖎 𝖙 𝖊 𝖘

LOCATION: Potter Estate, Prewett Household, Hogwarts SPORTS TEAM: Tutshill Tornadoes GAME: Wizard’s Chess MUSIC: Punk Rock, Celestina Warbeck (not that he’d tell a soul) MOVIES: Has hardly seen any, but is fond of action movies FOOD: Thai BEVERAGE: Whiskey or iced tea COLOR: Dark green

𝖒 𝖆 𝖌 𝖎 𝖈

ALUMNI HOUSE: Gryffindor WAND (length, flexibility, wood, & core): 8 3/4 inches, slightly bendy, yew, rougarou hair core AMORTENTIA: honeysuckles, vanilla, cigarette smoke PATRONUS: Dog BOGGART: His parents standing over him shouting; recently with Regulus by their side asking why he had to die

𝖈 𝖍 𝖆 𝖗 𝖆 𝖈 𝖙 𝖊 𝖗

MORAL ALIGNMENT: Chaotic Good MBTI: ESTP-T MBTI ROLE: The Entrepreneur

“ ESTPs are energetic thrillseekers who are at their best when putting out fires, whether literal or metaphorical. They bring a sense of dynamic energy to their interactions with others and the world around them. They assess situations quickly and move adeptly to respond to immediate problems with practical solutions. Active and playful, ESTPs are often the life of the party and have a good sense of humor. They use their keen powers of observation to assess their audience and adapt quickly to keep interactions exciting. Although they typically appear very social, they are rarely sensitive; the ESTP prefers to keep things fast-paced and silly rather than emotional or serious. “

ENNEAGRAM: Type 8 ENNEAGRAM ROLE: The Challenger

” People of this personality type are essentially unwilling to be controlled, either by others or by their circumstances; they fully intend to be masters of their fate. Eights are strong willed, decisive, practical, tough minded and energetic. They also tend to be domineering; their unwillingness to be controlled by others frequently manifests in the need to control others instead. When healthy, this tendency is kept under check, but the tendency is always there, nevertheless, and can assume a central role in the Eight's interpersonal relationships. ”

TEMPERAMENT: Choleric

“ The choleric temperament is fundamentally ambitious and leader-like. They have a lot of aggression, energy, and/or passion, and try to instill it in others. They can dominate people of other temperaments, especially phlegmatic types. Many great charismatic military and political figures were choleric. They like to be in charge of everything. However, cholerics also tend to be either highly disorganized or highly organized. They do not have in-between setups, only one extreme to another. As well as being leader-like and assertive, cholerics also fall into deep and sudden depression. Essentially, they are very much prone to mood swings. “

WESTERN ZODIAC: Scorpio

“ Passionate, independent, and unafraid to blaze their own trail no matter what others think, Scorpios make a statement wherever they go. They love debates, aren't afraid of controversy, and won't back down from a debate. They also hate people who aren't genuine, and are all about being authentic—even if authentic isn't pretty. Because of all of these traits, a Scorpio can seem intimidating and somewhat closed off to those who don't know them well. But what people don't realize is that even though Scorpio may seem brusque, as a water sign, they also are very in tune with their emotions, and sometimes may find themselves caught up in their feelings. This leads to Scorpio's central conflict: Their feelings are what drives them and strengthens them, but their mutability can scare them and make them feel vulnerable and out of control. Because of this conflict, Scorpios, like their namesake, the scorpion, put up an outer shell and may seem prickly. But once people get beyond the shell, they find a loyal, loving person whose passion knows no bounds. Scorpio dives into all life has to offer with 110% enthusiasm. A Scorpio will be your most loyal friend, most dedicated employee—and your worst enemy, if they want to be. “

CHINESE ZODIAC: Year of the Pig

“ Pig is mild and a lucky animal representing carefree fun, good fortune and wealth. Personality traits of the people born under the sign of the Pig are happy, easygoing, honest, trusting, educated, sincere and brave. The possible dark sides the Pig people are stubbornness, naive, over-reliant, self-indulgent, easy to anger and materialistic. They are sometimes regarded as being lazy. “

PRIMAL SIGN: Squid

“ Squids are powerful personalities that can only be ‘checked and balanced’ by themselves. They are highly capable, intelligent individuals who seem to know everything. Generally good natured, they also have a hidden inner dark side which resides deep within themselves. No one is allowed into this secret place, often not even themselves. Squids will even try to bury painful truths within themselves in order to avoid dealing with difficult emotions and situations. “

TAROT CARD: Justice, High Priestess

“ Justice and The High Priestess have in common that everything is accounted for. Justice examines everything for flaws in order to find its flawless essence. The High Priestess knows the secret of everything as it is in order to encompass everything. Justice demands of everything its true nature and essence, with nothing concealed, withheld or distorted. It tirelessly weighs and measures, satisfied with nothing less than the clear, the absolute, and the irreduceable in everything. Justice is adamant and uncompromising with its sword and scales, loud and clear in its redness, fearless and certain on its throne, guarding the entrance to the temple of the secrets of perfection. The High Priestess finds what is the same in everything, the secret unifying core hidden in the endless variation of detail. She patiently discovers in all differences what is true, original and undisturbed in everything. The High Priestess is accepting and inclusive with her scroll and cross, calm and quiet in her blueness, fearless and certain on her throne, guarding the entrance to the temple of final knowledge. Unintegrated and imperfectly realized, Justice can be given to rage and haste; it can become arrogant and hypercritical, aggrieved and vengeful, or uncertain and vacillating. The High Priestess can be a conceited know-it-all, moody and taciturn, secret and unapproachable; she can be despairing and lost, or given to excess and careless of consequences. Together, they dream of the perfect, the ultimate, and pursue it in more than one kind of undertaking. They continuously seek the truth, and in its service they are drawn to esoteric studies and unusual paths. “

TV TROPES: White Sheep, Jerk with a Heart of Gold, In the Blood, Hot-blooded, Good is Not Nice, Cultural Rebel, Badass Biker SONGS: Gasoline, Halsey; The Future Freaks Me Out, Motion City Soundtrack; This is the End (For You My Friend), Anti-Flag; Hate Conquers All, Anti-Flag; Downtempo, Scouting for Girls;

IDEOLOGIES: - Actively cuts out everyone who was part of his childhood unless they’ve somehow proven they can be trusted again; he avoids his family at all costs. - The day he found out he was lactose intolerant, however mild, was a mournful day. He sulked about Hogwarts for about a week. - Legitimately tried to swim to the bottom of the Black Lake and see the giant squid. Never succeeded. - If you bring peanut butter anywhere near him he will chuck it across the room. He hates it. - Genuinely enjoys being a dog more than a human sometimes. Yes, he’s aware of the irony. - The only people allowed to make puns off of his name are James, Peter, Remus, Lily, and Marlene. He’ll get annoyed at anyone else who tries (also wise to avoid using the word serious around him for the above reason). - Keeps telling himself he’ll quit smoking someday. The likelihood of that actually happening is about slim to none, RIP to Sirius’ lungs.

• Mojo tells the girls he plans on destroying Townsville to rebuild it as he wishes, and when Bubbles asks what changed his mind to make him go back to a life of crime, Mojo admits this has been his plan all along

• Hours before his original attack in the exoskeleton robot he realized that his plan would be stopped again by the girls so;

○ He hypnotized himself with subconscious instructions to find Chemical X

○ Faked all his moping while being dragged to prison

○ Tricked the Professor into giving him antidote X knowing he'd feel responsible for Mojo, and take him back in

○ Set up a giant drinking bird that would make a phone call to the girls house every hour and play his trigger message, “Maybe you should play a little solitaire”

○ Once he heard the message, he sought out chemical X, got back to his old self and stole the Professor's coffee maker

• Mojo had an atomic bomb powered by the Plutonium-239 coffee maker and plans on sending it down into the volcano where it will cause lava to rain down on all of Townsville and cover it in atomic ash for then next few decades

• Mojo also says he has a secret plan B if the girls stop plan A, and Mojo leave in an escape pod while the girls are left trying to stop the destruction of Townsville

• They can't find the button in time and the giant drinking bird hit the button sending the rocket and bomb into the volcano

• The girls dive after it and it's going to fast to disarm it, so instead Blossom get under it freezing the cap with her ice breath to cool the lava under it and slow the rocket, Bubbles screeches to get the outer shell of the rocket to break away and buttercup spirals around the plutonium case and bringing it up with her

• Buttercup's spiral keeps the lava from pouring out after she' out of the volcano,

• Blossom and Bubble are both shown using ice breath to cool the pillar of lava into rock

• Way above the earth Buttercup gets dizzy from all the spinning, but manages to kick the plutonium right into the sun and just missing Mojo's escape pod, to which she's irritated she missed

• Buttercup, still dizzy falls off the top of the very narrow volcano and her sisters catch and hug her, and starts shouting “enough of the mushy stuff! Sheesh.”

Epilogue

• Mojo is in space and not terribly upset that his plan failed, saying that's why he has a plan B

• He hits a button and a “World re Vision” is on the screen with a download bar under it

• Says that he'll come back after a few weeks and come out of his egg ship and the people of earth will worship him like a king

• Realizes that if he's going to be up in space orbiting the planet for a few weeks, that he should have installed a bathroom, adding that he really didn't think this plan through

29. Ariel, Pt.3

Neverland. Present. Inside Echo Cave. (Emma, Mary Margaret, David and Hook enter. On the other side of the cave, locked in a cage and unreachable because of a gap in the cave floor, is Neal.) Neal: “Emma!” Emma: “Neal.” Mary Margaret: “It must be a hundred feet across.” David: “Even if we fashioned some sort of rope, there's nothing to attach it to. No way to swing over.” Emma: “So what do we do?” Hook: “I told you what needs to be done. Consider this the moment of truth, literally. Now... who wants to kick things off?” Emma: “So, what? Someone tells their secret and they sprout wings?” Hook: “I don't know the particulars, only what I've been told.” David: “Well, how do you know it'll work?” (Hook takes a deep breath and turns to face Neal.) Hook: “There's only one way to find out, I suppose. (He turns back to face everyone:) I fancy Emma.” (Emma rolls her eyes.) David: “I warned you about that, Hook.” Mary Margaret: “David, now is not the time.” Emma: “How is that your darkest secret?” Hook: “It's not a small thing for me, I assure you. My secret is, I never thought I'd be capable of letting go of my first love... of my Milah... to believe that I could find someone else. That is, until I met you.” (The ground quakes and a large chunk of rock grows from the floor, forming a partial bridge to reach the part of the gave where Neal is.) David: “Uh... Mary Margaret...” Mary Margaret: “No, no, no. Me next. Ever since the curse broke, since we found each other, since we found Emma... And all of that happiness, there is something I haven't wanted to admit. Our daughter is a beautiful, smart, amazing woman whom I love very much, and of whom I could not be more proud. But she's all grown up. And... As much as I wanna pretend I'm okay with that, I'm not. We missed it, David. What we have with her is unique, but it's not what I wanted. We were cheated out of everything... her first step, her first word, her first smile. We missed it all.” David: “What are you saying?” Mary Margaret: “When we get off this island and get back to Storybrooke, I want another go at it. I wanna have another baby.” (The ground quakes and the bridge extends.) David: “Nothing in this world would make me happier, and I know with all my heart that you would make... An amazing mother. But it can never happen... At least not with me.”

Mary Margaret: “What do you mean?” David: “When Hook and I went to search for the sextant, he was really taking me to find a cure.” Mary Margaret: “A cure for what?” David: “Dreamshade.” Mary Margaret: “The lost boys, the arrow... you pushed me out of the way–” David: “–I wasn't fast enough. I was hit. Hook was able to find a cure, but it comes at a price. I can't leave Neverland. If I do, I'll die.” (The bridge finishes forming. Emma unsheathes her sword and carefully walks across. Half-way across, when she's sure it's sturdy, she runs the rest of the way and bends down to face Neal.) Emma: “You okay?” Neal: “Yeah. But Henry...” Emma: “I... It's okay. We're gonna take care of him. Just need to get you out of there first.” (She takes her sword and starts hacking at the bamboo bars, though she does no damage.) Neal: “Wha... Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma! (Emma stops:) You know that's not how this works. It's okay. You can tell me anything.”

Emma: (Kneels beside the cage and takes a deep breath:) “When Mary Margaret told me you might be here, and that you might still be alive, I knew I should be happy, but I wasn't. I know I told you back in Storybrooke that I forgive you for what happened between us, but I can’t. (Glances back at Mary Margaret before continuing:) My mom was so eager for us to find you and I didn't understand why until now. From the moment I saw you in New York, in the instant you stepped back in my life, I knew. I knew I'd never be able to feel the way I did about you like I did before. I know I should try to forgive you and I thought I could, at least for Henry’s sake, but I just can’t. There’s just too much pain, too much anger there. And my secret... Is that I’m terrified that I’ll never be able to fully forgive my parents for abandoning me like you did, for choosing each other, over me. Which is why I was hoping that this was a trick. I was hoping you were dead... (Tears falling:) Because it would be easier to put you behind me than to have another person in my life to remind me that I’m dispensable. To feel that at any moment I can be replaced. I didn’t want to face all the pain that I went through all over again.” (The bars of the cage dissolve, and Neal gets out and hugs Emma.) Outside Echo Cave. (As everyone emerges from the cave, Neal turns to face them all.) Neal: “Thank you.” David: “Well, don't thank us yet. We still have to save Henry.” Hook: “We found your star map, so the real question is, do you know how to get off this island?” Neal: “Well, if we can find Henry, I can get us home.” Hook: “Let's go get Tinker Bell and... retrieve the boy.” (He, Mary Margaret and David walk ahead, as Emma and Neal stay behind.) Emma: “You all right?” Neal: “Yeah, I'm fine.” Emma: “About what I said...” Neal: “Hey. Hey, Emma, it's okay.” Emma: “No, it's not. I wish I could change how I feel more than anything, but... I can't. I'm sorry.” Neal: “Don't be. After everything I've put you through, you don't ever have to apologize to me about how you feel. Hey, I'm glad you told me. I have a secret, too, Emma. I'm never gonna stop trying to make it up to you. Never.” (Neal walks away, and Hook is hiding behind the brush, having listened to the entire conversation. Transition to Mary Margaret and David up ahead.) David: (To Mary Margaret:) “Look, I know I should've told you...” Mary Margaret: “Don't. Just... not now.”

Maritime Kingdom. Past. The Beach. (Ariel is in the water, and Snow White crawls onto the shore.) Ariel: “I am so sorry, Snow. Are you okay?” Snow White: (She takes a deep breath:) “Yeah. I'm fine! But you need to go.” Ariel: “What?” Snow White: “Eric... tell him the truth. Go to him.” Ariel: “The caravan is probably long gone by now, and we're miles from the docks.” Snow White: “I saw how he looked at you at the ball. He'll wait as long as possible.” Ariel: “You think he's still there?” Snow White: “There is only one way to find out. Go!” Ariel: “Thank you, Snow!” Snow White: “Go! Just go!” (Ariel dives underwater.) Maritime Kingdom. Past. At The Castle. (Prince Eric is waiting on a balcony.) Man: “Your Highness... It's time.” Prince Eric: “Just a little longer.” (Ariel pops her head out of the water and sees Eric standing there waiting.) Ariel: (She moves her mouth to speak the following, but no noise comes out:) “Eric! (She touches her throat:) Eric! Eric? Eric? (Unable to hear her, Eric walks away) No, please, no, Eric!” (Eric leaves and Ariel shakes her head.) Evil Queen: “I told you there'd be no second chances. (Ariel looks up at the docks, where the Evil Queen is standing, looking down at her. The Evil Queen takes a seat:) Hmm? (Ariel touches her throat:) Oh, that. Your voice. I took it. The only thing worse about telling your prince how you feel and rejecting you is... Never telling him at all. Never knowing. Never even having... a chance at true love. That's right, dear. He's gone. Time to swim back home... Little mermaid.” (Ariel dives back underwater.) Enchanted Forest. Past. In The Dark Castle. (The Evil Queen is walking and then stops when she hears a voice coming from a full-length mirror.) Ursula: “Hello, Regina.” Evil Queen: “You. You're real?” Ursula: (Her tentacles emerge from the mirror and she wraps them tightly around the Evil Queen:) “Next time you claim to be me, you'll find out just how real I am.” Evil Queen: (As the tentacles tighten:) “Oh!” Ursula: “Don't ever do that again.” (She withdraws her tentacles.)

Neverland. Present. The Beach. (Regina and Gold are walking along the shore. Regina stops when she sees a conch, and picks it up.) Gold: “If you think summoning a giant squid is the answer, I've already tried that.” Regina: “Oh, you've had fun, haven't you? I have no intention of ordering calamari. (Regina whispers into the conch. Ariel surfaces from the water:) Hello, Ariel. Long time.” Gold: “It's true mermaids can travel across realms. But they can't be trusted.” Regina: “This one can. We have history together.” Gold: “Well, that would explain the distasteful look on her face.” Regina: “And now she's going to help us.” Ariel: (She mouths "no") Regina: “Oh, right, your voice.” (She waves her hand.) Ariel: “Why would I help you?” Regina: “Because I can give you what you want. (She puts out her hand, and the same bracelet from years ago appears in Ariel's hand:) I can give you legs, Ariel, and this time, control over them. But more importantly, I can give you what you need most.” Ariel: “What?” Regina: “The place I'm sending you... among its residents... is your Prince Eric.” Ariel: “What's the name of this place?” Regina: “Storybrooke.” Storybrooke. Five Days Ago... Mr. Gold: “You have to stay here.” Belle: “No! W... why? I... I... I wanna help.” Mr. Gold: “Well, Tamara wasn't working alone. Others will follow. (Hands Belle a small scroll:) It's a cloaking spell. It will shield the town, making it impossible for anyone to find.” Belle: “Well, then how... how will you find your way back to me? You're not coming back, are you?” Mr. Gold: “The prophecy. The boy is my undoing. But he's also my grandson. I must save him.” Belle: (Voice breaking:) “I understand. I also know... that the future isn't always what it seems. I will see you again.” Cut To: (Belle watches the Jolly Roger as it sinks into the portal to Neverland and disappears.) Leroy: (Running up:) “They did it! (Laughs:) They saved us! (Notices Belle:) They did save us, didn't they? Tears of joy?” Archie: “Belle, what is it?” Mother Superior: “Are you okay? What happened? Where is everyone?” Belle: “They stopped the trigger device. The woman who came... Tamara... she kidnapped Henry and took him through a portal.” Mother Superior: “A portal? To where?” Belle: “I... I don't know. Everyone else followed them on Hook's ship.” Leroy: “Why'd you stay behind?” Belle: “Because I had to.” (Pulls the scroll out of her pocket.) Mother Superior: (Steps forward and reads it:) “It's a cloaking spell. Why?” Belle: “Because Rumple said... He said others were coming.” Cut To: Somewhere Outside Storybrooke. (Two pale faced men drive along the road towards Storybrooke.)

Storybrooke. Mines. (The group from the docks now gather in the mines.) Leroy: “Who exactly does Gold think is coming?” Belle: “He didn't say specifically.” Archie: “Well, let's not panic. I mean, for all we know, it's a precaution. Right?” Belle: “Well, he... he did say they're working with the people who tried to destroy the town.” Leroy: “Can we panic now?” Archie: “Yeah. Sure. Maybe just a little.” Belle: “We'll be fine as long as we get this up in time.” Leroy: “Careful, sister. Mines are a dangerous place.” Belle: “Fairy dust.” Mother Superior: “It runs through the walls. We just need to open up a vein, and that'll carry the magic through town.” Leroy: “No time for whistlin', boys. Let's get swingin'.” (The Dwarves get to work mining for fairy dust.) Outside Storybrooke. (The two men drive ever closer toward Storybrooke’s town line.) Storybrooke. Mines. Leroy: “Halt! (Belle steps forward and readies the spell. She hesitates:) What is it?” Belle: “I... I've never cast a spell before. (Turns to Mother Superior:) Maybe you should do this.” Mother Superior: “No. Mr. Gold entrusted this task to you for a reason. You just need to believe in yourself.” Belle: (Whispers:) “Okay.” (She pours the vial’s contents into the exposed vein of fairy dust. Nothing happens.) Leroy: “You might wanna believe a little harder.” (Suddenly a trail of dust and light shoots from the vein, flowing out of the mines and throughout the town.) Outside Storybrooke. (The two men notice the protection spell falling over the town and speed up towards the line. They barely make it through and beyond the town line albeit without their car’s rear bumper.) Neverland. Present. (Mr. Gold is drawing rudimentary directions to Storybrooke in the sand.) Ariel: “That's Storybrooke?” Mr. Gold: “Can you get there?” Ariel: “It's far. I'll have to cross over realms. But yes, I can make it.” Mr. Gold: “If all went according to plan, (Leans down and picks up a seashell:) Storybrooke... will be surrounded by a cloaking spell. When you arrive, surface close to the shore. Then you're inside its bounds.” Ariel: “And what would you like me to bring back?” Mr. Gold: “An object to help us defeat Pan.” Ariel: “Well, I'm gonna need a little more than that to go on.” Mr. Gold: “No, I'm sorry. (Walking towards her:) Pan has ears everywhere. We can't risk telling you.” (He waves his hand over the shell, causing it to glow.) Ariel: “Then how?” Mr. Gold: “Find a woman named Belle, and then give her this. (Tosses it to the mermaid:) She'll know exactly what to do.” Ariel: “Belle. Storybrooke. Got it. (To Regina:) And Eric? Where will I find him in this new world?” Regina: “Well, that comes after you've succeeded. Incentives are important. The bracelet will only give you legs for 24 hours.” Ariel: “How do I know you'll uphold your end of the bargain when I'm back?” Regina: “Guess you'll just have to trust me.” (Ariel turns and dives into the water.)

Neverland. Pan’s Camp. (Pan and Felix sit around the campfire, whittling.) Felix: (Notices as Pan twitches:) "What is it?” Pan: (Exhales deeply:) “Someone's leaving Neverland.” Felix: “Where? How shall we stop them?” Pan: “Oh, It's too late. Don't worry, Felix. We simply need to get word to our friends on the ground.” Felix: “In Storybrooke?” Pan: “They can handle this. All it does is move up our timetable a touch. We need to get Henry ready. (Stands:) And I need to have a chat with our friend in the other cage.” Neverland. Operation Henry Camp. Emma: “Pan's shadow? That's your way off the island?” Neal: “Unfortunately, it's the only way.” David: “Oh. We thought you learned how to navigate the stars.” Neal: “I do know how to navigate the stars, but I can't fly.” Mary Margaret: “I'm guessing that's where the shadow comes in.” Neal: “That's why we have to capture it.” Emma: “Capture it? We've never been within ten feet of Pan unless he wanted us to be. Sneaking up on him to steal his shadow? That sounds insane.” Hook: “Except Pan's shadow is rarely with him. It's an entity unto itself. It can carry out his will from miles away.” David: “What does that mean for us?” Neal: “It means we can get his shadow without having to be anywhere near Pan... as long as we know where to look. I know where to look.” Emma: (Stands:) “Okay. You and I are on shadow duty.” Hook: “As am I. This trek won't be easy. You could use another veteran of the island.” Neal: “Thanks, man.” David: “Well, in the meantime, we'll give Tinker Bell a heads up, see if she can make good on her promise to get us into Pan's camp.” Emma: “Okay, we meet back at Tink's. Then we get Henry and get the hell back to Storybrooke.” David: “Okay.” (Neal, Emma & Hook head off in one direction as David offers a hand to Mary Margaret. She ignores him, stands and walks away. He sighs deeply and follows.)

Dispatches: Running Sled Dogs Across the Boundary Waters

For 3 days I talked additional with Cedar, Marley, Joplin, Thor, Whoopsy, and Mudro than any human. Canadian Inuit canines aren’t fairly just a few for dialog, nonetheless they do make good companions in the ineffective of winter. I’d eagerly encourage them up steep hills and beg them to cease as shortly as I wished a snack. In return, they’d merely howl at me, all the time capable of run.

Andy Cochrane

Together with my data, Dave Freeman, I used to be on a three-day canine sledding journey in the Boundary Waters of northern Minnesota. This wilderness, adjoining to the Canadian border, is an iconic summer time season season season season season season season season season getaway and was instrumental in creating the Wilderness Act of 1964, defending massive swaths of land all by the use of the nation. The Boundary Waters Canoe Dwelling Wilderness (BWCA) is the most visited wilderness in the nation and has been for fairly a substantial amount of years. Nonetheless, it’s solely widespread in the late spring, summer time season season season season season season season season season, and early fall. In February it was desolate. Empty, that’s, other than us.

Why the Boundary Waters Matter

Touchdown in Minneapolis, I nabbed a four-wheel-drive rental for icy roads forward and commenced the monotonous drive north alongside I-35. Nearing Duluth the route turns “inland” and enters the Boreal, a reasonably just some forest that covers utterly utterly completely utterly utterly totally different the northern Midwest. Locals acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable appropriate correct acceptable appropriate correct proper appropriate correct proper right here search suggestion from every half in relation to Lake Superior, an an very like coastal dwellers do the ocean.

Passing by smaller and smaller cities, the feeling of journey began to set in. This nook of Minnesota is assumed for 3 parts: iron-ore mining, pond hockey, and the world’s largest web of related lakes, swamps, and rivers that’s the Boundary Waters. In winter, the hottest recreation actions—ice fishing, cross-country snowboarding, and snowmobiling—make the most of the frozen panorama. Do it’s necessary to reside acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable appropriate correct acceptable appropriate correct proper appropriate correct proper right here, you elevated love the chilly.

Paul Shurke understands the enchantment. Shurke made his title as the first to run canines all the methodology to the North Pole, unsupported. Over 40 years in the earlier, he based mostly completely completely totally totally Wintergreen Lodge, a dog-sledding clothes retailer based mostly completely utterly completely close to Ely, Minn. Paul’s affiliate Sue runs the lodge’s sister company, Wintergreen Northern Positioned on, which makes anorak coats which can presumably be simple to hunt out out by their vivid colours and detailed embroidery. As shortly as I arrived at the lodge, Dave Freeman was the first to greet me, pulling a toddler’s plastic sled in route of the lodge. Freeman was getting ready for our journey, beginning with the most necessary side: pet meals. I adopted him up the hill to the canines, undecided what to anticipate.

Mush Puppies: Journey From Norway to Sweden Fully by Dogsled

Freeman is troublesome to clarify in few phrases. Briefly, he’s type and intensely considerate. Two years in the earlier, alongside collectively alongside collectively collectively collectively alongside collectively alongside collectively alongside alongside alongside collectively collectively together with his affiliate Amy, Dave spent a full 12 months on this native wilderness, canoeing and canine sledding to advocate in route of sulfide-ore copper mining close to the BWCA. Now in his early 40s, he’s run canines for over 20 years. Tender-spoken, good from years of spent sleeping on the flooring, and perpetually curious, Freeman is the implausible specific specific categorical specific specific specific specific explicit specific particular person to be taught mushing from.

Dave Freeman, joyful and ready for the journey forward. Andy Cochrane

We chatted briefly about meals—simple meals cooked on a white gasoline differ—and the significance of spare baselayers, heat gloves, and down pants. I handed my first attempt, bringing ample clothes for Freeman to ponder I’d survive. Solely barely reassured, we loaded all of our non-public and shared gear into the dogsled and pushed it in route of the canine yard, serenaded by a rising refrain of howls.

Canoeing with Dogs: Packages from the Boundary Waters

Andy Cochrane

It took bigger than doable 10 minutes to search around on harnesses and tether our canines to the sled. Every canine has a “tug line” to tug on and a “neck line” that retains them organized, in double file. Canadian Inuits aren’t race canines; they’re increased, slower, and fairly additional good. Nonetheless, standing on the as shortly as additional of the sled capable of launch the rope that anchored me in place, I’ll actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually truly actually really feel vitality surging. They wished to go.

Wintergreen has a hands-on philosophy. Every time that you just merely merely merely merely merely’ll should pet a canine, or feed a canine, run your non-public employees or in a single completely totally totally utterly totally utterly utterly completely utterly utterly totally different case, you merely hop in and do it. It’s an setting good determination to look out out about mushing and presumably the largest methodology to shortly assemble a relationship with the canines, nonetheless furthermore intimidating. Trial by ice and snow.

Andy Cochrane

Upon departure my trial started with a flight all by the use of White Iron Lake after which acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable appropriate correct acceptable appropriate correct proper appropriate correct proper right into a close-by path system. Freeman skied forward, displaying the canines the route. I held on for costly life, hoping the canines would take it simple on me. Shortly ample I used to be getting the defend of it, discovering out when to brake, uncover methods to lean into corners, and why it was important to know some respect from these fiery bundles of fur.

Andy Cochrane

In fairly a substantial amount of hours, we reached the wilderness boundary and the finish of established trails. Dropping our tenting allow in a small matter, we headed north on the Kawishiwi River, solely a mile to flooring zero of the proposed Twin Metals mine web page on-line that Freeman has labored tirelessly to cease. From acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable appropriate correct acceptable appropriate correct proper appropriate correct proper right here and for the subsequent few days we’d be crossing frozen lakes, toiling all by the use of snowy portages, and winter tenting at evening time time time time.

Andy Cochrane

By late afternoon I used to be beginning to discover a circulation, discovering out when to get off the sled and run adjoining to it, serving to the canines defend a gradual tempo by deep snow. With lower than an hour of daylight, Freeman discovered a small bay protected in route of the wind and we started to rearrange our small camp. Step one was organising a line for the canines and feeding all of them. Surprisingly, sled canines don’t drink assorted water, so we boiled a pot and hydrated all of their meals to trick them into consuming some.

Andy Cochrane

In the winter, discovering water is the largest draw as shortly as additional and most necessary job. We used a small chisel to cut by the ice, and after we weren’t close to a lake or river, we’d soften snow over a fireplace for our consuming and cooking needs. It’s a laborious course of, nonetheless there isn’t the subsequent reply. If one drawback, the added effort makes you admire the ease of filling a glass at the faucet.

After a hearty dinner and a short while spherical the fireplace, I headed to mattress. With a transparent sky and temps in the low children, we opted to forgo the tent and sleep beneath the stars. I used a set of froth pads to spice up and insulate from the ice beneath, plus a heat sleeping bag with a fleece liner to remain heat. I furthermore discovered it useful to positioned on a puffy and heat cap to mattress for the extended evening time time time time forward.

Our subsequent day was related, crossing untracked lakes and small trails between them. I managed to solely fall off the sled as shortly as on an dependable left flip.

Dispatches: Running Sled Dogs Across the Boundary Waters

For three days I talked further with Cedar, Marley, Joplin, Thor, Whoopsy, and Mudro than any human. Canadian Inuit canines aren’t pretty only a few for dialog, nonetheless they do make good companions in the ineffective of winter. I’d eagerly encourage them up steep hills and beg them to stop as shortly as I wished a snack. In return, they’d merely howl at me, all the time in a position to run.

Andy Cochrane

Along with my knowledge, Dave Freeman, I was on a three-day canine sledding journey in the Boundary Waters of northern Minnesota. This wilderness, adjoining to the Canadian border, is an iconic summer season season season season season season season season getaway and was instrumental in creating the Wilderness Act of 1964, defending large swaths of land all by the use of the nation. The Boundary Waters Canoe Dwelling Wilderness (BWCA) is the most visited wilderness in the nation and has been for pretty a considerable quantity of years. Nonetheless, it’s solely widespread in the late spring, summer season season season season season season season season, and early fall. In February it was desolate. Empty, that’s, aside from us.

Why the Boundary Waters Matter

Landing in Minneapolis, I nabbed a four-wheel-drive rental for icy roads ahead and commenced the monotonous drive north alongside I-35. Nearing Duluth the route turns “inland” and enters the Boreal, a fairly only some forest that covers fully fully completely different the northern Midwest. Locals acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable right correct acceptable right correct proper right here search suggestion from each half in relation to Lake Superior, an an very like coastal dwellers do the ocean.

Passing by smaller and smaller cities, the feeling of journey started to set in. This nook of Minnesota is assumed for three elements: iron-ore mining, pond hockey, and the world’s largest internet of associated lakes, swamps, and rivers that’s the Boundary Waters. In winter, the hottest recreation actions—ice fishing, cross-country snowboarding, and snowmobiling—make the most of the frozen panorama. Do it’s necessary to reside acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable right correct acceptable right correct proper right here, you elevated love the chilly.

Paul Shurke understands the enchantment. Shurke made his title as the first to run canines all the methodology to the North Pole, unsupported. Over 40 years in the earlier, he based mostly completely completely absolutely absolutely Wintergreen Lodge, a dog-sledding garments retailer based mostly completely fully completely near Ely, Minn. Paul’s affiliate Sue runs the lodge’s sister company, Wintergreen Northern Positioned on, which makes anorak coats which may presumably be simple to hunt out out by their vivid colors and detailed embroidery. As shortly as I arrived at the lodge, Dave Freeman was the first to greet me, pulling a toddler’s plastic sled in route of the lodge. Freeman was getting ready for our journey, starting with the most important aspect: pet meals. I adopted him up the hill to the canines, undecided what to anticipate.

Mush Puppies: Journey From Norway to Sweden Utterly by Dogsled

Freeman is troublesome to make clear in few phrases. Briefly, he’s kind and intensely thoughtful. Two years in the earlier, alongside collectively alongside collectively collectively collectively alongside collectively alongside collectively alongside alongside along with his affiliate Amy, Dave spent a full 12 months on this native wilderness, canoeing and canine sledding to advocate in route of sulfide-ore copper mining near the BWCA. Now in his early 40s, he’s run canines for over 20 years. Tender-spoken, good from years of spent sleeping on the flooring, and perpetually curious, Freeman is the implausible specific specific categorical specific specific specific specific particular person to be taught mushing from.

Dave Freeman, joyful and prepared for the journey ahead. Andy Cochrane

We chatted briefly about meals—easy meals cooked on a white gasoline differ—and the significance of spare baselayers, warmth gloves, and down pants. I handed my first attempt, bringing ample garments for Freeman to ponder I’d survive. Solely barely reassured, we loaded all of our private and shared gear into the dogsled and pushed it in route of the canine yard, serenaded by a rising chorus of howls.

Canoeing with Dogs: Packages from the Boundary Waters

Andy Cochrane

It took larger than doable 10 minutes to search around on harnesses and tether our canines to the sled. Each canine has a “tug line” to tug on and a “neck line” that retains them organized, in double file. Canadian Inuits aren’t race canines; they’re higher, slower, and pretty further good. Nonetheless, standing on the as shortly as further of the sled able to launch the rope that anchored me in place, I’ll actually actually actually actually actually truly actually truly actually truly actually really feel vitality surging. They wished to go.

Wintergreen has a hands-on philosophy. Each time that you just merely merely merely’ll must pet a canine, or feed a canine, run your private staff or in a single completely absolutely absolutely fully absolutely fully fully completely different case, you merely hop in and do it. It’s an setting good decision to look out out about mushing and presumably the largest methodology to shortly assemble a relationship with the canines, nonetheless moreover intimidating. Trial by ice and snow.

Andy Cochrane

Upon departure my trial began with a flight all by the use of White Iron Lake after which acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable right correct acceptable right correct proper right into a close-by path system. Freeman skied ahead, displaying the canines the route. I held on for costly life, hoping the canines would take it simple on me. Shortly ample I was getting the defend of it, discovering out when to brake, uncover strategies to lean into corners, and why it was essential to know some respect from these fiery bundles of fur.

Andy Cochrane

In pretty a considerable quantity of hours, we reached the wilderness boundary and the end of established trails. Dropping our tenting enable in a small matter, we headed north on the Kawishiwi River, solely a mile to flooring zero of the proposed Twin Metals mine web site on-line that Freeman has labored tirelessly to stop. From acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable right correct acceptable right correct proper right here and for the subsequent few days we’d be crossing frozen lakes, toiling all by the use of snowy portages, and winter tenting at night time time time time.

Andy Cochrane

By late afternoon I was starting to find a circulation, discovering out when to get off the sled and run adjoining to it, serving to the canines defend a gradual tempo by deep snow. With decrease than an hour of daylight, Freeman found a small bay protected in route of the wind and we began to rearrange our small camp. The first step was organising a line for the canines and feeding all of them. Surprisingly, sled canines don’t drink assorted water, so we boiled a pot and hydrated all of their meals to trick them into consuming some.

Andy Cochrane

In the winter, discovering water is the largest draw as shortly as further and most important job. We used a small chisel to chop by the ice, and after we weren’t near a lake or river, we’d soften snow over a fire for our consuming and cooking needs. It’s a laborious course of, nonetheless there isn’t the subsequent reply. If one disadvantage, the added effort makes you admire the ease of filling a glass at the faucet.

After a hearty dinner and a short time spherical the hearth, I headed to mattress. With a clear sky and temps in the low youngsters, we opted to forgo the tent and sleep beneath the stars. I used a set of froth pads to boost and insulate from the ice beneath, plus a warmth sleeping bag with a fleece liner to stay warmth. I moreover found it helpful to positioned on a puffy and warmth cap to mattress for the prolonged night time time time time ahead.

Our subsequent day was associated, crossing untracked lakes and small trails between them. I managed to solely fall off the sled as shortly as on an reliable left flip. Freeman took a second to let me know that falling off is definitely musher initiation. Following the river outfitted added challenges with fully fully completely different open-water spots that to steer clear of. We stopped for a break mid-afternoon to attempt three wolves scan us from afar. There aren’t many areas as wild as the BWCA in winter.
