I believe that too. Hey, Rumple got resurrected so maybe Merlin and Morgana did too. Only difference is Morgana was killed by the dagger so there became a new Dark One. Merlin being the Apprentice and the most powerful magic user might of had one of his pupils resurrect him or put some of his consicousness in an object.

Along the lines with the dagger. I think it came after the Dark One. I think the first one was so powerful no one could beat him/her. Then someone found/created the dagger that bound itself to someone. This would successfully limit the Dark Ones power and freedom. Rumple was the first one we know of to own the dagger while being the Dark One.

We need a Dark One origin episode.
