What if this "Darkness" talking as Rumple inside Emma's head is actually..... Merlin :O

Maybe he is manipulating Emma to make the Excalibur a whole again

Like some sort of the mastermind in the background pulling the strings

Because I'm not buying this "Merlin is a tree" thing

Especially after seeing Arthur's dark side
