OUaT: I thought Prince Phillip was killed when Emma and Snow went back to the fairytale realm? So how is he alive now? Am I misremembering?

I thought Prince Phillip was killed

That gave me a startle before I realized what thread I was in and saw the OUaT.

Sorry, Connie.

Prince Phillip was dead ... he got better. I don't remember quite how, but he's back among the living.

So the Duke of Edinburgh is not a zombie. Probably.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Probably.

Also, there's really no mystery about where they went.

Which is where? I'm just curious, and I am not that knowledgeable about this period of history.

If anything, he is a werewolf. /DoctorWho

Which is where?

Here's [link] a good historical summary.

The short version: The colonists had established friendly relations with the Indians on Croatoan (modern day Hatteras). The members of the so-called "lost colony," including Gov. John White's daughter and son-in-law and their new baby, Virginia Dare, were left at a camp at Roanoke with the intention that they would find a more suitable place for a colony. Because of weather, White had to return immediately to England and was planning to come back the next spring with supplies. He told them to carve their new location on a tree. Due to a series of problems with getting supplies and ships, White didn't return for three years. He found the word Croatoan carved on a tree and knew the colonists must have gone to the island and the safety of friendly Indians. He tried to get there, but was unable to because of weather. When a ship finally visited the island a hundred years later, it found a tribe that included light-skinned, gray-eyed members and that used some European tools.
