　　FOR A LONG TIME, Teresa Holmes and Henry Mills didn't know who they were. They were just two souls on a long winding path, trying to find their place in the world. But after the heroes of Storybrooke defeat Issac and Henry took his place as the new author, the teenagers discover the truth about who they really are and how they aren't just an archer and an author, after all.

　　Deep in the heart of the Enchanted Forest, there was a prophecy about two souls and how they would come together in a world where magic wasn't supposed to exist and share the most powerful bond in all the realms. It stated that the soulmates could face anything in the world, for their strength together was more powerful than an army strong. But now this prophecy was being tested, for an unexpected darkness was on the horizon.

　　With Rumplestiltskin on his death bed and the power of the Dark One fading away, the dagger must claim another soul. Emma Swan made the ultimate sacrifice when the darkness attempted to claim the tainted soul of Regina Mills. But as the darkness consumed the Savior, Teresa Holmes couldn't help but do the same thing and sacrifice her own life.

　　This act of selflessness and bravery came not from stupidity, though, but from love, for Teresa Holmes could not allow her friend to lose his mother like she had. She did not want Henry Mills to suffer like she has. So, without hesitation, she had allowed the darkness to claim her, not knowing the effects that it would have on their souls.
