"Two years ago" should actually be around season 1 (after Emma makes time move forward in the Enchanted Forest in Pilot), if not just before the Curse. She doesn't mention Philip, which is strange, but she's clearly not met Aurora yet, since we see in present-day how having been rejected by Aurora a year ago has messed her up. And it also can't be during season 2 after Emma and MM leave the EF, because Mulan and Aurora were too focused on finding Philip's soul. I agree. Now we know what took her and Phillip so long.(I wouldn't have thought that FTL China was near FTL Scotland, lol) Or maybe Phillip and Mulan didn't go straight back because they needed to find away to defeat Maleficent. That does make sense. And it would also explain why Mulan was in DunBroch. Arthur said there were rumors of magic in that land. And Ruby said she'd heard of the Witch.

They (Mulan and Philip) probably thought that the Witch could help them.
