Random thought but let's say that he was a prince (let's call him Charming for laughs...or for at least my amusement.) Prince Charming faces Chernabog, the most powerful and knowledgeable dark magic user in all of the lands, in a great battle and kills him in the end with a combination of his dagger and magic. Since we all know that magic has a price, especially powerful magic, the price of this one was that Chernabog's spirit and power were sealed inside of the knife, turning it into the Dagger of the Dark One and turning Charming into the Horned King. Let's put the Black Cauldron as Chernabog's actual cauldron and possibly his soup pot. Charming is unaware that in defeating Chernabog, he had inherited all of his knowledge and power but pays the price for it by being corrupted and being bound to the dagger. People have tried to kill him for a long time but only a lowly beggar succeeds by doing it with Charming's own knife. The beggar then inherited Chernabog's abilities and thus was born the second Dark One.

On an unrelated Dark One topic, do you think that the OUAT storywriters will make Yen Sid (the wizard in Fantasia) the writer of the Once Upon A Time book?

In storylines I would love to see, I would like to see a Swan Princess story since the ballet is lovely and the movies and their music are great. They better not do a Pirates of the Carribean thing or Wreck-It Ralph. I would go postal.
