I do like this speculation about the Pan Shadow being caught by Bae….but I also have another idea.
Rumpel says to Bae that what Rumpel is (the Dark One) doesn’t “mix well” with fairy magic. What if the Pan shadow is something that was created when Bae fell through the vortex, like the magical part of himself was spliced off and sent somewhere else, while the non-magical part of Bae was sent on to London?
Crazy theories may be crazy…but they’re fun!
Not a crazy theory at all KFC (love the screen name, it makes me giggle hehehe 😀 ). That’s a perfectly good possibility.
