I know everyone on Tumblr right now is excited because of the possibility of her being friends with Sleeping Beauty and/or her warrior skills, but I’m a little worried about what kind of “evil spirit” is moving. I wonder if it has to do with Emma’s and Snow’s disappearance. Does it have to do with one of the main baddies like Rumple or Regina or some new baddie?
Given that we’re talking about Sleeping Beauty, perhaps the evil spirit is just Maleficent? Though, given that Sleeping Beauty pricks her finger on a spindle, it’d be surprising if our resident king of the spinning wheel isn’t involved in that story too. I’m really interested to see how they choose to tell the Sleeping Beauty story, and how it’ll be woven into the timeline. Regina and Maleficent’s conversation suggests it all happened around the time Regina met Snow and Leopold.
Unless it was just the falling asleep instead of dying that happened back then, and Phillip doesn’t wake her up until after that conversation between Maleficent and Regina happened? Maybe once word got out that Charming woke up Snow with a kiss, Phillip got it into his head to go find this sleeping princess that everyone talks about, so he can wake her up in the same way? In which case, the “evil spirit” could be Regina’s threat of the curse, and Phillip and Mulan may have to act quickly to find Aurora before the curse hits. Perhaps?
Would Mulan and Phillip being buddies confirm that she’s from FTL, and not some other realm? One of the things that made everyone start to wonder if Mulan would be showing up, was that there was an Asian looking door in the hat, but if she knows Phillip well enough to accompany him on a quest to find his true love, then perhaps she’s not from elsewhere. I wonder if they’re both involved in helping to take back the kingdom, and that’s where they meet, or if they knew each other beforehand.
Obviously if the whole Sleeping Beauty story happened in the past, that’s not even a question to be asking, but the more I think about it, the more I think I like the idea that Aurora is saved closer to Regina’s curse being cast. Remember how when the curse rolls in, there’s a dragon flying ahead of the smoke? Maybe Phillip was in the middle of battling with DragonMaleficent, then the curse starts coming, so she flies off, which is why it was Emma who slew her, instead of Phillip. It’s not that he failed in the attempt, the battle was just interrupted.
