Date Posted：09/13/2015 6:31 PMCopy HTML Millennia ago, a great and powerful sorcerer known as Merlinbattles a great darkness that threatens to destroy all of the worlds and suppresses it by tethering it to a human soul that is bound to a cursed dagger. Such a person becomes known as the Dark One, who gains innate arcane knowledge, immense magic and immortality, but he becomes forever bound to the dagger; for whomever possesses the dagger, the Dark One is forced to obey their commands. The first Dark One was born from the darkness at a special vault , where a deceased Dark One can be resurrected in exchange for another life. When someone kills the Dark One with the dagger, he or she automatically becomes the new Dark One. As recounted by the Apprentice, every Dark One had attempted to gain a special hat crafted by Merlin, which is capable of absorbing and accumulating magic, in order to free themselves from the control of the dagger. At some unknown point, a man named Zoso becomes the Dark One. Greedy for power, he later breaks into a chamber containing the Sorcerer's hat, which is guarded by the Sorcerer's Apprentice. With the dagger in hand, Zoso waves the weapon over a box, attempting to unlock it to steal the hat, but is blasted away by a powerful enchantment. The Apprentice reveals that the Sorcerer enchanted the box so that those who have succumbed to darkness may never possess it. Beaten, Zoso retreats. Later in Zoso's life, a Duke of the Enchanted Forest gains the dagger, and uses it to control the the Dark One into committing atrocious deeds. During an Ogre War, a soldier of the Duke namedHordor goes to a village to round up all children who have recently turned fourteen, which makes it mandatory that they must join the army. He grabs a girl, Morraine, as her parents beg for mercy. As a show of intimidation, Hordor commands the Dark One to magically force the girl's parents into submission. Tired of being bound to the dagger, Zoso finds the perfect substitute to take on the Dark One's powers in a cowardly man, Rumplestiltskin.  While disguised as a beggar, he persuades Rumplestiltskin to steal the dagger from the Duke's castle. Rumpelstiltskin successfully steals the dagger and summons Zoso. When insulted by the being, he stabs the Dark One in a fit of anger, only to realize Zoso is the beggar from earlier on. As the man dies, free of his burden, Rumplestiltskin gains the powers of the Dark One as his own name appears on the dagger. In the morning, Rumpelstiltskin stalks back to his home and murders all the soldiers, including Hordor, who mocked him.
