We’ve often speculated that the BF sent Bae out of FTL because of something inside him. What if she saw the Shadow within him and sent him to where magic doesn’t exist, but during the trip through the portal the Shadow separated from Bae and went to NL where it’s been searching for it’s “body” all this time.

Could be! Maybe when Rumple became the Dark One, part of the price he paid was something dark also taking root in Baelfire. Perhaps Blue sent Bae to A Land Without Magic, not only to send the Dark One to a place where his powers would be useless, but also to separate whatever bit of darkness had latched itself onto Baelfire when Rumple became the Dark One.
