Throughout the entire series, a certain body of water keeps appearing in various realms.

1. The Enchanted Forest



Lake Nostos

2. The Land Without Magic

Storybrooke Wishing Well

3. Neverland Neverland Spring

Neverland Spring

And after watching the whole season of OUATiW...

4. Agrabah The well of wonders (Agrabah)

Well of Wonders (Agrabah)

5. Wonderland The well of wonders (Wonderland)

Well of Wonders (Wonderland)

They seem to be a recurring theme throughout all the lands and despite the slight variations in their properties and how they are procured, they all seem to have the power of restoration and some form of gaurdian to protect it (Nyx, Siren etc.)

I think like true love, it trancends all realms and appears to connect them all in some way. i remembered a while back there was a post where someone thought they could be related to Yggdrasil, the cosmic tree in norse mythology which connects the nine realms. Interestingly, these is achieved through its brunches and roots that extend to to WELLS and SPRINGS.

(If this theory is correct,presumably Oz, LWC and the others all have them somewhere)

Additionally, in "Ariel", Regina mentioned how mermaids can travel through world. I think mermaids are connected to this and travel through this waters to cross lands.

The sea appears it have very powerful magic. Take the Squid ink for instance, i think its sort of a counter to the Waters. While the water create/multiply magic, the squid ink acts as an anti-magic substance, canceling/neutralising magic.

What comes as odd is that the show has not address this and the connection appears to be subtle.

I think that at one point in the show, we are gonna travel to the mer-lands and (presumably) Ursula being the big bad 'master of the squids'.

i dkn. thoughts?
