    Nyx is the Guardian of the Well of Wonders. If you don’t know, Nyx is Greek for “night” and in mythology is the goddess associated with night. Read more here

    How can Cyrus break his brothers spell and get Nyx’s mercy? How can he return the water?

    How will the Well of Wonders play into the rest of the season?

    First off, I really need Nyx and Jabberwocky to team up and become some sort of uber powerful force of evil. WOW.

    Nyx seems to be this all powerful, eternal entity. But she is not without mercy, so long as her rules are followed.

    Is the Well of Wonders like the Cave of Wonders? And if so, what might that mean for Jafar (In Aladdin, he becomes a genie and then is put into the Cave of Wonders)

    Cave of wonders…Well of wonders , good catch. This is a crack theory that just came to mind. Maybe the Sultan will drown Jafar in the Well of Wonders & then Nyx will allow the brothers to be released. Not sure how this equates with the water given to Amara being returned, but maybe their fates are tied together when he made her the snake staff.

    I like where you’re going but I have one small change. What if Amara drowns herself in the water? She gives herself back to the water, in other words. Her sons took the water for her and now she has to make the choice to give it back.

    She chooses to free her sons by sacrificing herself. That would be a good ending for her.

    Cyrus still knows magic even though he’s no longer a genie. I wonder if/when the three brothers are reunited, they might be powerful enough together (even not being genies) to take down Jafar after Amara sacrifices herself.

    I hope so. Even though I love him as a villain, I don’t see a path of redemption for him. He has to be destroyed or become a genie.

    And look at who Day is. Yeah, I thought Amara seemed a little too familiar with the power of the well.

    Omgsosh, you’re totally right. Kicking myself not for not seeing that.

    In Greek myth, Day is the daughter of Night (ἡμερα is the daughter of Νυξ). And if they take the myth from Hesiod’s “Theogony” then I pretty much know how this plays out. Above I talked about Amara sacrificing herself in order to give the water back. It’s sorta like that: Night and Day both live in the same house but one leaves as the other comes in

    So I think the OUATinWL twist will be that Amara must return home to the well of wonders to be with her mother in order for the Curse to be broken.

    That’s what I was thinking as soon as Nyx said the water had to be returned. No other way apart from Amara’s body going under in the well. I was almost screaming at the screen because Cyrus didn’t seem at all concerned with what returning the water would involve.
