So as I see it, there are 4 options: Anastasia, Alice, Tiana, Henry

It seems like they're going with Ana, but I'm not sure.

When Rumple went through the portal to find the guardian, he literally bumped into Alice, so I think that is a sign that she's the guardian.

I noticed that someone (i think Facilioer?) called Tiana a desperate soul. This is like Zozo calling Rumple a desperate soul, and then Rumple saying it to foreshadow that Emma becomes a dark one. So maybe this is foreshadowing that Tiana is the next dark one?

It could be Henry is if the profecy still stands that Henry is Rumple's undoing. Henry could reunit Rumple with Belle and become the dark one. Then they could break the curse and save Lucy without killing Henry.
