Tweak says, "Ho, the megapode! "
That...isn't how it happened at all.

My mother died during the Ogre wars and in my travels, I learned of a powerful sorcerer called the Dark One. Rumplestiltskin. I wanted to protect my people, so I convinced my father to summon him. In exchange for saving my kingdom, Rumplestiltskin wanted me to stay with him. And I did. At first, I was just a servant there. I tidied up and looked after his castle. But as time went on, I began to care for him. I thought there was a goodness in him. And, in time, he cared for me too. But his power was always the most important thing to him. A woman, Regina...the evil queen...she told me that True Love's Kiss could break any curse. And I thought that I could save him from himself. And it very nearly worked. But he didn't want to be saved. He cast me out, thinking I was trying to steal his power. I travelled for some time before the queen found me. She locked me in a tower and told him that I had died. I stayed in that tower for a long time.And then, when the queen cast her curse and all of us were sent to a world without magic, I remained locked up, this time in a cell in the hospital, for twenty-eight years. Then Rumple found me. And I thought we had a second chance. I knew he had done terrible things, but I loved him. And I thought he loved me too. We got married eventually, but in the end it became clear that the only thing he really loved was his power. He'd been lying to me the entire time we were married. So, I left him. Whatever the fairy tales say, true love isn't always enough.So...as you can see, my story really isn't like that other one at all.
