Sorry not sure if I did the spoiler thing correctly, so please forgive me and I hope I didnt spoil to much.
I just read the story. And a few things stuck out to me specifically. 1. the golden feather that fell off of the golden bird.-this could have been used as a magical pen that scribed the book in the first place. 2. the fox which was that of the princess brother that had been cursed.–What if this man was one of the first curses that the EQ enacted, while practicing? Perhaps she could have been practicing on one of her childhood friends or maybe the man was a lover that she was supposed to wed. But her mother had a different plan for her(marrying Snows dad, the king) and turned this lover into a fox. [
Running away with my thoughts here, let me stop.
I believe in the Disney movie Pinocchio was a puppet that Geppetto carved. Before he went to bed after carving the puppet he saw a star and wish on it for the puppet to become a real boy. The blue fairy came after Geppetto went to be and made the puppet come alive but he had to prove himself in order to become a real boy. In the Adventures of Pinocchio, Mr. Cherry finds a block of pinewood and begins to carve a leg for his table, then the wood yells out not to cut so hard, Mr. C was scared and gave the wood to his neighbor Geppetto who in turn carves Pinocchio. So I guess it depends where the creators are taking the info from, knowing them a little bit of both.
Personally I think that Rumple’s future seeing abilities work like a give get type of thing. Kind of like the dark “force” that has taken over him requires that he can do nothing for free, which is why he always asks for something before he gives something(before the dark power will let him see whatever is being asked of him). For example he had to ask for snow and Charming’s child’s name before the dark force would tell him or let him see that that child would be the one to break the curse in 28 years. I hope that makes sense.
