Set after season 7

A guard entered the palace heading straight for Queen Regina. Little did she know his news would change everything.

The guard entered the round table room where the entire charming family was having a council meeting.

"Your Majesties" said the guard as he bowed to everyone.

"Gallus, what is it?" asked Regina

"The people of the lower town have concerns, there have been reports of fae in the woods"

"Thank you Gallus"

Gallus left the room and allowed the royals to discuss.

"Fae are never a good thing, my father ran them out of the kingdom because they were so much trouble" said Snow

"We will check it out" said Regina

David, Snow, Regina, Henry and Hook left the castle heading for the forest.

When they arrived they could all feel a change in the essence of the forest. They walked for about five minutes before they walked through some sort of barrier, but when they did they stood there amazed at the sheer beauty of what was in front of them.

"Its beautiful" said Snow

"How could we not have known this was here?" asked David

"We just walked through a magic barrier that's why" answered Regina

"We're being watched" stated Henry who tightened his grip on his sword.

"I can feel it to mate" said Hook

Lena was standing on a sturdy tree branch watching the outsiders step foot into her kingdom. She Took off flapping her wings hard, heading for the pond where she resided. The tree guards approached her and bowed.

"Bring the outsiders to me, unharmed" she said as she sat on her throne.

The tree guards bowed and took off into the forest.

Minutes later the outsiders were brought before the Queen of the forest Lena.

"What is the meaning of this?" asked David 

"Kneel!" shouted the tree guard

The group knelt before the Queen.

"What is your business in my kingdom?"

"There had reports of Fae, we were..."

"Trying to push us out?"

"No we just wanted to see if the rumours were true, and see if we could make peace" answered Regina

"PEACE!" said another Fae who landed by the throne. He had blonde hair and huge white wings." We will never have peace with you!"

"Balfor that's enough" demanded the Queen

"In case you hadn't noticed, your Majesty's kingdom is part of a greater whole now" said Hook

"I had noticed Mr Jones, Peter spoke of you many times"

"You knew Pan?" asked Henry

"I did, we shared Neverland, we were not friends, though we had an agreement"

"Perhaps we could make an arrangement?" asked Regina

"Perhaps Queen Regina, I admire the change in your heart"

"You know of the world you and your people now live in and perhaps you know you cannot stay hidden forever"

"We have been here a long time we will not abandon our home"

"We're not asking you too, only that you stop hiding, there is a whole new world out there, a world your people could be a part of" said Regina

"Do you know what happened the last time we tried to make peace with a king?"

"No I do not" said Regina

"He forced us out of our home, months later we had heard he married the young daughter of the noble women Cora"

"King Leopold?"

"Yes your father, If I am not mistaken" said Lena as she knelt in front of Snow.

"I'm sorry, my father never trusted magic"

"I hope you are different Snow White"

"My own daughter has magic, I am not like my father"

"You will leave my Kingdom" said Lena as she sat back down on her throne.

"Please consider my proposal, peace between kingdoms" said Regina as she stood with the rest of the group.

"I shall consider it and If I wish to know more I shall visit your castle within the week, If I do not, you have your answer"

"MY QUEEN!" 

"It is my decision Balfor, we have stayed hidden for too long"

"Thank you Your Majesty, I hope we can find a way to live in peace"

"I hope so too...Tree guards escort them out"

Two days later Queen Lena was sitting on her throne watching the water fairies teaching their young. Balfor came flying over the pond scaring them away, he landed in front of the throne and bowed.

"My Queen are you going to go to the outsiders castle?" he asked

"I am considering it"

Balfor stood up and two other fae came flying up to them, Lena recognised them as two of the individual leaders of the fae clans.

"Your Majesty we wish to know more of Queen Regina's proposal" said the leader of the snow Fae

"And you Balfor?"

"I believe My Queen knows what is best for us" he said bowing his head.

"Gather the clan leaders" Lena ordered Balfor

About an hour later all five clan leaders stood in the court of the Queen.

"As you all know Queen Regina has proposed peace between the fae and the rest of her kingdom, I have been considering her proposal and I feel to make a decision we must know more. I wish for all of you to join me on a journey of peace to the Queens castle"

"We will join you Your Majesty" said the leader of the forest Fae

"Then we leave at noon light"

The clan leaders left and the Queen looked over her kingdom hoping she was making the right decision for her people.

An hour later the Clan leaders met the Queen at the border of the kingdom along with Balfor who came a long to protect his Queen.

The fae flew up into he sky and headed straight for the castle.

They landed in the courtyard of the castle and were led inside by the guards.

"Your Majesties, the fae have arrived"

"Send them in Gallus" 

Gallus led in the Fae.

"Welcome, thank you for accepting my invitation"

"We are only here to learn more of you proposal" retorted Balfor

"Balfor enough" "Thank you for having us, these are the leaders of the fae clans"

After many hours of diplomacy and debating they seemed to come to a beneficial agreement for both sides.

"Perhaps peace was not a misguided venture after all" said Lena 

"Perhaps not"

"Peter told me many stories of you captain, I see now he did not understand you or your choices"

"Thank you your Majesty"

"Lena, my name is Lena"

"Before anything becomes official I must talk to the people of the forest" said Lena as she walked through the hallways of the castle with Regina, Snow, David and Henry.

"I understand" said Regina 

"Also do you know where Princess Aurora resides?"

"She lives in town I could take you to her if you wish?" said Henry

"Thank you, Balfor escort the clan leaders back to the forest" said Lena she she walked into the courtyard with Henry, Snow and Regina 

"My Queen I will not leave you here" she said as he walked up to Lena.

"I am perfectly safe here, I will return before dark, now go"

Balfor bowed to Lena and left the castle with the clan leaders.

"He's quite loyal" said Snow

"He has protected me since I was born, Its all he knows" "I am sure we will have peace soon Queen Regina...I look forward to being a part of the new realm you have created here"

"I look forward to having you"

"Your Majesty" said Henry as he held out his hand from on top his horse.

Lena took his hand and lifted herself up and onto the back of his horse.

"Goodbye" said Regina

"Until next time"

Henry took off heading for the lower town. When they arrived they got off the horse and walked through town, they got many stares from the residence, they had never see fae before. Henry knocked on Aurora's door and she emerged.

"Prince Henry....Lena?"

"Hello Aurora, you look well"

"Oh my Goodness I have not seen you in years" she said hugging Lena "What are you doing here?"

"Peace talks with Queen Regina, my Kingdom was transported over with the curse"

"Well I hope you find the peace your looking for"

"You must come and visit us, Balfor misses you"

"Little Balfor?"

"He is one of my guards now"

"Well your life couldn't be in better hands" she said with a smile.

Lena noticed the sun starting to go down.

"I must return, It was lovely to see you Aurora"

"And you Lena"

Lena walked to the centre of town with Henry.

"It was a pleasure your Majesty" said Henry bowing

"The pleasure was mine Henry, I shall see you soon"

Lena took off into the sky heading for the barrier that surrounded her kingdom, she entered her kingdom and was met with the clan leaders standing by the pond next to the throne.

"What is this?"

"We have spoken to our clans and we have a unanimous opinion"

"Well?"

"The people believe we are sheltered here, they wish the barrier to come down"

"This is the same decision for all of the clans?"

"Yes My Queen"

"Then we will have to sign this peace treaty we have created then won't we"
