Henry will sacrifice himself for Lucy by breaking the curse once he realizes who he really is. Probably with true love’s kiss with Jacinda. Rumple will use the power of the dagger to save him, and he will become the Guardian. After all, Henry did set out at the beginning of the season to find his own story. So this really is about him.

Henry is the Author, son of the Savior and grandson of the Dark One. He can balance Dark and Light like no other character. That’s powerful magic. He has already shown he can resist the temptation of immense power by casting aside the Author’s pen.

I would also add that he has shown himself incorruptible by evil when The Evil Queen tried to get him to kill the Dragon by smashing his heart in order to save Regina and Emma. His heart is pure.

The Guardian was confirmed to be Anastasia in the last episode. The Guardian is also the only one with magic in the LOM.
