Infinite Forest

"This is the Infinite Forest. There's no way out. Well, except... my way."

- Rumplestiltskin to Prince Charming

The Infinite Forest is an Enchanted Forest location featured on ABC's Once Upon a Time. It first appears in the ninth episode of the first season.

Before the Curse
The Infinite Forest covers an unknown area of land. It consists of thick, overhanging pine trees, logs, bushes, flowers, grasses, and many other numerous wildlife and plant components. It appears to be very dark and desolate, having no known creatures or residents within its murky, cloudy depths, which seem to carry onward toward an endless infinity of hills and mountains. Although it could be argued that Hansel and Gretel, are ever-travelling inhabitants of the forest, they are most likely victims instead, as they were banished here by the dark magic of the Evil Queen.

Prince Charming is sent here by the Evil Queen, after he escapes captivity in her Dark Palace with the help of the Huntsman. He ends up meeting Rumplestiltskin, who reveals that he's stolen Prince Charming's mother's ring. Rumplestiltskin enchants the ring so that the closer Prince Charming is to Snow White, the brighter it glows. He won't hand it over to Prince Charming without a price, of course, so they duel over the ring briefly, until Rumplestiltskin allows Prince Charming to have the ring in exchange for putting the true love potion into the belly of a beast.
