Gather round, children, and I'll tell you a tale. This dark, dank, and crackly, weary forest? Was once a place of illumination. There were shadows and times even wholly darker than now. It has ebbed and flowed with the oceans of time. Waves of darkness and light. But the reason it's changed? The sole reason? Is not simply the light itself... But the light bearers! All working together. That is the secret I share with you today!
The light bearers seek to spread light wherever they can. It's not easy to battle against the Decay, that gooey, tarred and rotting force that oozes into the nooks and crannies of our home, at first unnoticed, then rotting the land from the inside out. The light bearers, though, they're hard at work, always.
Right now, children, there is a goblin who has returned. He wants to spin the light into gold purely for his own greed. Do you know his name? Do you remember it? Yes, that's right - Rumplestiltskin. The better you remember that truth, that he is not your friend, that he seeks only riches for himself, at any cost to life around him, the safer you shall be. Don't let him convince you to be afraid. Fear is the tool he uses to wield his power, and pull others into the Decay with him. He's trying to wall off the light now. He wants to build a dark barrier, and expects to take over the whole area, for everyone in the forest to see things only how he does, through the lens of the Decay. Is that what we want? Right, of course not, my lovelies.
We need to be light bearers, together. We need to hold the light close, and plant seeds of it wherever we can. We can regrow the illumination, can't we? Yes, yes, it IS possible.
Let's do this now... close your eyes and hold out your hands... Yes, do you feel that? Open your eyes and see. I've given each of you the last of the small seeds of illumination, right there in the palm of your hands. Will you go out and seek, children? Plant these seeds, nurture them and seek their growth, and most importantly, seek out any others you can find. Will you? Will you grow this light, and seek out the light bearers? Can you do that, my darlings? It's the only way to discourage Rumplestiltskin from taking over, from infecting others with the Decay. We shall seek, and find, and little by little, grow the light again. Let's illuminate our forest lands, my children, and let's do it together.
