She honestly didn’t know what was worse: living her life in the dream world, or living in a world where everyone lied to her.
The fairies called her Maleficent. They had named her after Saturn, because of its unfavorable influence, and after Mars, a malicious god known to cause destruction and war. For that was what the fairies saw in her future: malice, devastation, and conflict.
There are other creatures in this world, dear ones! Beautiful, lovely, and powerful creatures that don’t look like me or you!
Maleficent is like a black orchid in a field of pink peonies. You’re incapable of letting the orchid flourish. You would remove it because it looks out of place.”
You’ve raised a beautiful, intelligent, gifted young woman. You’ve given her every opportunity and she will make you proud.
You’d think the fairies would have thought of something more creative. Practically every princess in peril has been saved by Love’s First Kiss! For goodness’ sake, between witches and fairies, can’t we think of something more original? I’m weary of this. Why must a young girl need a man to save her? Why can’t a princess fight for her own life, break her own curse? Why must it always be a prince? By Hades, I want to kill Prince Phillip on principle, just so we don’t have yet one more prince kissing some helpless sleeping girl, making her feel like she has to marry him out of gratitude.”
Her name is Aurora, for she is my shining light in the darkness.
