Grimm Fairy Tales[]
Shang confesses to Sela that he didn't give her her powers and that he told her so earlier because she wasn't yet ready for the truth. Although Sela still wasn't ready, time was running out, so Shang decided to tell Sela about the five realms: Myst, Wonderland, Neverland, Oz and Earth. Shang told Sela about Earth being the gateway between the other realms, about the devil's travel to Earth and his rise to power, about his desire to conquer all the realms and the war he started. Shang revealed to Sela that she was a guardian and gatekeeper for the realm of magic and that she was the first human gatekeeper ever because her predecessor chose her out of necessity. Sela learned that the truth was hidden from her because she was being tested against corruption. Shang also told her that Belinda was a child of the realms of Earth and magic and that she couldn't use the book because she was not a gatekeeper. Belinda was revealed to be an agent of Death, sent to take the book from Sela or destroy her if she could not. Finally, Shang returned the book to Sela and told her she needed to guide those who had a part to play in the war.
Allexa contacts Shang with a crystal ball to inform him that Baba Yaga has escaped her prison. Shang asks Allexa's location so he could come to her aid but Allexa refuses the offer, knowing that he isn't able to reach her in time. Allexa comes to the conclusion that she has to pass on the book and her responsibilities before Baba Yaga can get her hands on the book. Although Shang thinks Allexa's successor isn't ready yet, he still helps Allexa to reach her before it is too late.

Myths & Legends[]
A glowing, cloaked figured, most likely Maker, stands before a grave talking to the seemingly absent Shang. He says that The Innocent believes that he should help Shang's protégés. He says although it is his policy to not interfere he has seen the events to come and that they will need victories to balance the horrors and losses to come, that they will need Shang. As he speaks, he walks away from the grave and a shadowy figure climbs out of it, a shadow that looks a lot like Shang.
