The powers are sealed in a dagger and cast into another land(past EF) while Pan is freed, meets Tink who turns out to be a young BF eventually leading into the proper version(for OUAT that is) of the story of Peter Pan where the Darlings come to Neverland to find Bae. Thus explaining both the Dark One's origins and Blue Fairy's thing against Fairies dating.

As for Greg he did mention he was a kid shooting his mouth off about what he saw until someone started to listen because they believed so maybe. It is possible the dark one's powers were somehow stolen from the shadow in some manner but I doubt he is the original dark one as then he would no longer be alive at the point we were shown the shadow as Rumple was the D.O. by then. And as we all know to become the D.O. you must kill the previous. Unless once a D.O. is killed he becomes a shadow/wraith like creature. That would also explain how wraiths are created/born as I don't recall that being explained. On to the Blue Fairy, although I have a severe distrust of her. And clearly so does Rumple, as I agree with him that it was suspicious the B.F. finished the cure for Sneezy and Belle as soon as the fail safe was  triggered. I don't think she and Tink are one in the same as Tink's colour is Green and the B.F.'s is well blue. Perhaps her and Queen Mab though.

And you are alll aware of my thoughts on Greg/Owen as I started this. My theory is he was most definitely a Lost Boy for a short while at least. I also am unsure if those in Neverland aged previous to the curse or not which should have affected Neverland as well. My reasoning for this being that Felix looked at least 16 and as stated above the shadow seems to be nabbing children around Henry's age - 11 or 12.
