Bring me to their cherished Rose And bring this chapter to a close. By smoke, by fire, and by night, Touch the spindle I shall ignite. Sleep will come to their fair Rose, Forever trapped in her repose.
Enchant the Rose with burning light, No fear, no sorrow, no flight from fright. Let her follow without despair So she may slumber forever without care.
As the wheel spins, so does time, Unstoppable and divine. Weaving my spell of endless sleep,
In dreamscape she shall keep.
“You poor simple fools! Thinking you could defeat me! Me! The mistress of all evil!”
Maleficent had no love for Ursula and didn’t grieve her loss. In fact, she thought the many kingdoms on land and sea were better off without such a power-hungry and foolish witch.
Eternally bringing happiness to that infernal brat and her brood.
family was capable of causing more harm than anyone. Family was true heartbreak. They could rip out your heart like no one else. They could destroy your spirit and leave you alone in the tangled depths of despair. Family could ruin you, more than a lover might, and surely more
than even the dearest of friends could. Family could hold its power over you.
Maleficent, the tall stoic Dark Fairy.
My goodness, this poor girl has never used her voice. Not once. Not even to cry. The realization broke Nanny’s heart.
Maleficent loved Nanny, more deeply than she expected she might.
Maleficent liked knowing things. It gave her power. It gave her confidence.
what is a fairy without wings if not a witch, little one?”
Failing her adopted daughter was the gravest mistake of her lifetimes.
Nanny had realized years before that her daughter’s skin tone changed depending on her mood.
Oberon had actually left the honor to Nanny alone, but she had decided to share it with her sister.
I am the mistress of all evil, as prophesied by you and your sister!”
“I really felt quite distressed at not receiving an invitation,” she said.
“Not wanted…ahh, oh dear, what an awkward situation. I had hoped it was merely due to some oversight,” the Dark Fairy said,
“Children often don’t think of their parents as real people with their own lives. They see them in a very narrow scope. But your nanny, she is a remarkable fairy and witch. And I know she isn’t your real mother, but I imagine she treated you like a cherished daughter.”

She has all of it, and before my heart became truly corrupt, before I lost myself entirely, I decided to give up my child.
“I call upon the very furies of hell to bring darkness to these lands and give me the power to overtake these foul abominations of nature!”
“If you insist on dying today, then please know I have loved you well.” Maleficent felt a lurch in her stomach, in that place where she kept all her pain, in the place where she kept her adoptive mother, the odd sisters, her daughter, and her former self. “I know, Grimhilde. Thank you.”
“Why do you think I chose her sixteenth birthday? Do you think I just picked an arbitrary number out of the ether? I
came into my powers on my sixteenth birthday and I destroyed the Fairylands. I almost killed everyone I loved when I came into my powers, and I don’t want that for my daughter. She will have my powers. She’s probably already showing signs of them now! I don’t want her to suffer the way I have. I’m trying to save her that pain. She needs to stay in the land of dreams!”
“Now shall you deal with me, oh Prince! And all the powers of hell!”
