    Two doors appear along a stony path.
    The travelers always wonder
    Which door will lead them to the well?
    And which will drag them under?
    Choose poorly and meet certain doom.
    There is no room for blunder…

    Which door will lead them to the well?

    The very first thought that springs to mind :

    the idea of the “well of knowledge”. We know this show likes to play with words (ie a grape vine becomes an actual grapevine) A well of knowledge could be twisted into meaning a well from which you might acquire great insight or foresight or information.

    And which will drag them under?

    Going off what I just wrote above, if you go to the well of knowledge and are found unworthy, perhaps you drowned. Remember that creepy creature from the 110 promo (that also has these doors)? Maybe she is the creature that lives inside the “well of knowledge”

    Ok the knight! If you’ve read Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Caroll then you know Alice runs into a knight during her adventures through the Mirror Universe

    The White Knight saves Alice from his opponent, the Red Knight. He repeatedly falls off his horse and lands on his head, and tells Alice of his inventions, which consists of things such as a pudding with ingredients like blotting paper, an upside down container, and anklets to guard his horse against shark bites. He recites a poem of his own composition, ‘A-Sitting on a Gate’, (but the song’s name is called ‘Haddocks’ Eyes‘) and he and Alice depart.

    X

    I grant that he’s not wearing white, but the doors are Red. Maybe the Knight is there to provide guidance.

    This is the best I can come up with. Of course you would never want to pick the wrong door. You would drown. So the only other option is to select the right door.
    However, if you want to think outside the box, you could skip the water entirely and go hang out at the local hookah bar.

    There’s a scene from the 1980’s movie, Labyrinth where Jennifer Connolly has to decide which door to go through and the doors talk, each one saying the other is wrong pick.

    A well is mentioned in the auditions for Cyrus’ brothers. It’s probably what they were looking for to save their mother. But from what we’ve seen in the promo, it looks like that place is in Wonderland.

    The road to the well is dangerous…

    I’ve never seen it myself, but I’ve heard stories. The water inside is said to contain magical properties.

    Legend says it can make a cowardly man brave, a greedy man generous, and a sick man healthy.

    its says cowardly MAN brave, a nice twist would make it a lion instead

    Time to hide your crazy, and start acting like a lady.

    There was a spoiler, I don’t remember if it was to OUAT or to OUATIW, it said that a place from season 2 of OUAT will reappear.

    You know what I can't continue with the dead people brought back to life list I'm out of space in the signature and now we have an underworld arc this is to much I quit why do you bring so many people back to life OUAT WHHHYYYY

    Also reminds me of the logic puzzle Knights and Knaves also (Labyrinth & The 1oth Kingdom)
