Chapter Three: teaching begins
You awoke from your slumber and woke up earlier than everyone else. You left a little note saying you'd be back by the end of the day. You hated leaving your little sister without saying anything, but you were too excited to learn magic and flight from Diaval that you just couldn't wait. However, before you left, you gave her a little kiss on the forehead. You went to the place you were at yesterday. There, you found Maleficent standing and waiting for you. and you said
Good morning, Godmother. How are you doing today?
Very well, I suppose. I hope you are doing well, too. But before I teach you magic, I would like to show you something. Please come with me.
You went and walked with Maleficent to the wall of thorns. You looked at her, puzzled, and asked, "Wait, why are we at the wall of thorns?"
She looks at you with a sly look and says, "Just wait." She makes a movement with her two fingers, and the wall of thorns opens before your eyes. You stare in amazement at it as the two of you walk together through the thorns before coming to a halt at the beautiful sight of the moors. You gasp at the sight before you and do a little spin to look at everything that is there. All kinds of creatures live here that when you said
Maleficent, this is beautiful. I always wondered what lay behind those thorns. It's absolutely breathtaking. Is this your home?
Yes, it is. This is the moors.
You look at her with a big smile. That's when Diaval came flying in. He caws knowingly at Maleficent, and she turns him back into a man. "It's good to see you again, (Y/N)," he says, giving a little bow as well.
You too, Diaval! By the way, you really need to teach me how to do that you said to Maleficent.
What do you mean, dear?
Like how you shapeshift Diaval into a bird or a man, or heck, maybe I can learn to shapeshift myself. you said excitedly to her
She smiled at you. Well, I certainly could teach you that, but first, perhaps we could start with something simpler, like moving the wall of thorns so you can come and go as you please?
At that moment, Diaval spoke up. That implies you could visit us more frequently or simply enjoy the moors as you wish.
You smiled at both of them and politely said that it would be a wonderful idea. Consequently, you spent the remainder of the day learning how to move the wall of thorns. You were a quick learner, and after a short while, you had mastered the technique. The remainder of the day was dedicated to acquiring knowledge in the art of shapeshifting combat and a plethora of other valuable skills. As the day drew to a close, you and Maleficent successfully completed your studies for the day. Subsequently, you and Diaval devoted the remaining hours to diligently practising the art of flying.
So, how did we do this again? You were standing in a very large tree and were hesitant to jump off. Maleficent was observing the situation with amusement, while Diaval attempted to explain the necessary actions, and you two were having a bit of a screaming battle because you were so high up.
You need to trust your wings to catch you while you fall. (Y/N) You just have to believe in yourself.
You know, it's easy for you to say. You've had your whole life of flight. I didn't. I was confined in a dumb castle from which I couldn't leave," you said to him, a little annoyed. You did remember his words from the day before, but it's like you're stuck and scared to jump. How could you trust your wings if you never used them?
Mistress, can you please help with this little endeavor? Maleficent thought for a moment before speaking.
Of course, I'll do my best to help. (Y/N), my dear, if you wish to descend from that tree, you have the option to climb down or attempt to fly down. It may not be as challenging as you perceive it to be.
Diaval looks at Maleficent in a disappointing way he certainly didn't expect that he would have hoped she would be of more helpful but she probably just teasing the two of you or she just enjoys this situation way to mutch Thats when Diaval spoke once more to you
(Y/N) Do you remember how I always landed and flew away? Just try and imagine you doing that.
You thought for a moment about it. He was right. You just needed to trust yourself and your wings to just fly and land safely on the ground. So after building some confidence and imagining how Diaval does it, you jumped. You were failing, but you trusted in your wings to catch you, and they did! You were still a bit surprised, but you did it. You could finally fly. It was like instinct took over. You loved the feeling of this new freedom, but you had to come down and end this little flight of yours. In your excitement, you landed a bit weirdly and tripped over your feet, bumping straight into Diaval. The two of you fell over, and you profusely apologized to him while getting up from the ground.
After the initial shock of falling over had passed, Diaval politely expressed his excitement by gently lifting you up by the waist and twirling you around while exclaiming, "You have finally accomplished it!" he said while respectfully setting you down again on two feet.
I certainly did! I could not have done it without your help, you said and gave him a warm smile. thank you both for today. i learned so much,
They both gave you a proud look, and you gave Diaval a quick kiss on the cheek and gave Maleficent a side hug. You said in a hurry, "I wish I could stay longer, but I must return to Aurora. She will be quite upset if I do not return soon."
Diaval and Maleficent watched you fly away. Maleficent had a small smirk on her face and then said, "I believe she may have feelings for you, and I sense that you may reciprocate those feelings."
Diaval took a moment to process the information he had received and eventually responded, "Do you truly believe that? I mean, she is indeed a kind and caring individual, but I do not believe she would be interested in someone like me, mistress."
Maleficent discreetly rolled her eyes at his statement; she is aware of the way the two of you look at each other. She is quite familiar with it. She used to be like that once, and said in a sly way, "If you think so, because I do not." and walked away while saying so while Diaval whas pondering her woords You got home safely and saw little Aurora on the doorstep, waiting for your return home. She didn't look pleased when she saw you and said, "Where were you? I missed you the whole day." You walked up to her, picked her up in your arms, and said, "I was learning some new things and I just got a little too excited. I wanted to tell you, but I just wrote a quick note. Didn't you read it?"
No, I didn't find anything. I did see our aunties reading something, but they wouldn't let me read it. and why do you have horns and wings?
you thought to yourself why wouldn't thay let her read the note thay know Aurora hates it when i leave suddenly without a word and you never told Aurora of your wings or horns and thats when you said to her i had horns and wings all along im sorry for not teling you and next time ill wake you up and tell you where im going im sorry for this morning can you forgive me my fair princess? you said while setting her down and sitting on one knee. She giggled and played along and said i forgive you, my fair night Now, let's have some dinner. You got up again and said, "Yes, my lady," and opened the door for her. You walked in with her and saw your aunties standing there, pretty mad at you. They asked where you had been and why you all the suddenly had horns and wings
i told you three in the note where i whas going what i dont understand is why you wouldn't let Aurora read it you know she hates it when i leave without a word and i had my wings and horns all my life i just had a spell under them to make them invisible
That's when knotgrass said, a bit angrily, "Listen here, young lady, you can't go back there ever again. It's not safe, and you know it!"
Now you were angry. "I don't know about your tree, but I am twenty-three years old. I can do whatever the hell I like. I am an adult, and I'd like to be treated that way. I can make my own decisions. I couldn't care less if you think that place is dangerous because it's not!" That's when you stormed out of the room and went to your bedroom. You had a few tears falling down your cheeks before wiping them away. An hour had passed when you saw Aurora walking in. She asked, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, bug, just a bit sad and angry. Don't worry too much about it." Aurora walked over to you and sat between your legs on the bed, and she gave you a hug. You hugged her back and just sat there in a convertible silence until she fell asleep in you lap you picked her up and you brought her to bed and gave her a kiss on the forehead before going to sleep yourself
thats how the years passed by you learned you're way in magic and you and Diaval gew closer then ever and As Maleficent had said, Aurora did grow in grace and beauty. Far away from the lofty palace that she remembered not.
And as the seasons changed and the flowers grew, so did she. She wondered at the world about her,
and at what lay beyond the fearsome wall of thorns. But she was not the only one who wished to get through. It was five days before her younger sister's 16th birthday. Five more days to live and to try to make the best of it. Currently, you where stading with your sister at the wall of thorns and you knew Maleficent whas nearby you could veel her presence thats when you heard howling from a wolf and a few seconds later your sister whas floting beside you you looked behind you and saw Maleficent and asked what she did to your sister
She is merely sleeping. That is when she walked toward the soldiers and you. You followed her, and that is when you saw a magnificent wolf with the talons of a raven, a beak, and feathers in its fur. You assumed it was Diaval. Maleficent created a whirlwind around the soldiers, causing all their equipment to fall off, and she propelled them away. She then used her magic to raise the soldiers off the ground, swung them from side to side, shook off their weapons, and then tossed them aside to hit the trees and get knocked out, falling to the ground. You looked at her, awe-struck. You can accomplish the same feat, but not as remarkably as Maleficent. She then notices one of their helmets, and when she reaches out to touch it, she feels a burning sensation as the helmet is made of iron. You look at her with concern and ask her a gentle question: "Would that cause me harm as well if I were to touch the helmets?"
Maleficent contemplated the matter, but she was uncertain if the two of you belonged to the same species. Therefore, she suggested, "I am unsure, (Y/N). Perhaps you could attempt hovering your hand over it. If it causes a burning sensation, then you will have your answer."
You hovered your hand over the helmet, and it began to burn. You quickly took your hand away and said, "I guess I am..."
Diaval approached us, Maleficent turns Diaval from his wolf form into his human form again, he is furious with Maleficent for turning him into a "Dog" When he exclaimed, "How could you do that to me?"
You said anything I need.
Yeah, but not a dog.
That is when you politely interjected, "It was actually a wolf, not a dog." To be precise, you were walking with the two of them and your sister floting behind you, and he responded.
It's the same thing. They're dirty, vicious,
and they hunt birds. thats when maleficent spoke again
Fine. Next time I'll turn you into a mealy worm.
Well, I'll be a mealy worm, gladly. Anything but a filthy, stinking... Diaval was cut off short in his little rant when Maleficent turned him back into a raven and he flew away while gawking extensively. Then, when you two stopped walking,
You know, Godmother, that was pretty mean of you, turning him back.
What I just don't like is when he keeps rambling on. Maleficent looks up at your sister floating in the air and says, "I wonder..."
