Not really a theory, but Rumple is looking for the Guardian that will be able to put the Darkness to rest.

The Darkness originates from the magic of the Holy Grail being corrupted. The Holy Grail was placed on a stone, presumably by the deities. The Dark Grail was found in a library in New York City. Holy Grail gives, the Dark Grail takes. (Only coincedentally does the dagger now looks similar to the Dark Grail.)

But who is the Guardian? Someone pure of heart? But would that mean they would have to be immortal forever.

Someone with immense light that simply destroys Darkness? Emma didn't appear to do so well with it.

There are a numbder of candidates. Alice could be one, but they nodded her as Hook's daughter as well. Lucy could be one. Anastasia could be another, if we are going by pure hearts. Could also be Henry.

What do you think?
