Dan Fox wrote: I thought the origins of the Dark One was shown in Quiet Minds. That in order to create it, required someone sacrificing their life. Or it is just the revival area of the Dark One. In my opinion, I would say that it was the revival area of TDO. Almost like a 'spring of darkness' where providing one has the key and is willing to sacrifice their life, TDO can regenerate and be ressurrected.

Does that mean in Season 2, when Cora possessed the blade, that had Rumple died of the poison and even as she mentioned his power had 'boiled off into the air' that she could have just gone back to the EF and forced someone to sacrifice themselves and bring him back?
