About the scar in the shape of a star:

I think it's a relation to the Apprentice, but not because he is her father, but due what he did to her. I read somewhere that the Apprentice's hat wins a star everytime it is filled with some new magic. Lily was filled with Emma's darkness. Maybe the scar it's just a sign of what happened to her.

Yeah, it sounds ridiculous, but it makes sense to me.

Now, if the Apprentice is obviously not Lily's father, who is?

I think it's Hades. It will make sense since Lily appears to be Emma's opposite. Emma is the daughter of an official couple, two heroes. Lily is the daughter of a non official couple, two lonely villains. It also makes of them two princesses: the Princess of the Enchanted Forest and the Princess of the Underworld.

[This, and because I think that the actor playing Hades looks like the actress playing Lily. But it's just my opinion.]

Our dear writers seem to enjoy a good crossover. I remember being a kid, watching 'House of Mouse' and finding extremely cute the way Hades dressed up like Mickey just to look "nice" to Maleficent. In the OUAT universe, it would be a funny family to watch, with Maleficent being all serious, Hades mocking her for it, and Lily rolling her eyes at them.

Yet, there is the question: how it happened?

Well, there is a greek myth that tells us of the day when Zeus took the form of a swan. Why? He was in love with Leda, a girl that had a...uh...strange 'passion' for swans. And yes, she..."mated" Zeus while he was in 'swan form'.

Maybe Hades did the same thing. Maybe he wanted Maleficent, maybe he loved her, but didn't know how to win her heart. Maybe he knew that she wouldn't love a man. Or maybe he knew she just wanted a child, but didn't want to get involved with a man, didn't want to share her happiness with anyone, so he decided to be the "seed" - to mark his territory. Sounds weird, but who knows? Some men are like that and most greek gods are like that. Specially Zeus, that bastard.

But anyway...In the end, Hades turned into a dragon and together, the God of the Underworld [or hell] and the Mistress of All Evil created an egg.

Now to the second question: why not to tell Maleficent of the truthbehind his dragon form? Maybe Hades had tried, but Maleficent does not seem the type of woman wanting for some romance in her life. Maybe the cause of this it's her past. Maybe she had been deeply hurt and does not trust men anymore - much like Angelina Jolie's Maleficent - and maybe she fleed after their...coupling. Some myths tells us that dragons have a powerful connection with each other - family or not. Maybe Maleficent felt that connection with the father of her child, but was too scary to give it a try. So she just...Flew away from him.

Maybe Hades tried to go after her, but couldn't fine her for reasons I don't know. Maybe he hadn't tried to find her. Maybe he was too hurt for doing so. Or maybe he didn't give a sh!t.

I don't know. There is a lot of 'maybes' here. And I know I'm making it looks all romantic, but maybe it wasn't like that. Maybe it was just an agreement to have a child, and after getting what she wanted, Maleficent left. Maleficent seducing Hades is out of question, for it happened in dragon form. It looks like Hades took the first step.

However, if this atctually happened, I don't think Hades would just 'let it go'. Disney or not, Hades does seem to be quite honest when it comes to deals, and he wouldn't just let his child alone. If he agreed to give Maleficent a child, he would be getting something in return. Whatever this is I have no idea.

By all means, it will be interesting to see. Being a parent seems to be what makes villains turn to light in the show - you see Regina, Maleficent herself, and now even Zelena -, so maybe Lily will also melt our dear's god heart.

But it's just a theory.
