Dark Times -2 season

Nanny

"So, just so you know, I've changed a lot, and I'm not the same person, okay?" The Fairy Godmother didn't want to be judged and knows that her past attitudes were odious to say the least. "Years ago, in Fairyland a fairy was born, but she was unlike any other fairy we had ever seen. My sister was traveling when this child was born, but she and I could see the future, and when I saw this little fairy's future, I feared for us all."

"What was this fairy like?"

Mal asks innocently.

"Did she become a famous fairy?"

Evie asks, treating the whole thing like a history lesson.

"Like Tinkerbell?"

Ben asks. Helena waits a while to be sure of how she should speak. She looks mainly at the queen and feels a chill run through her body.

 "She was your mother, Mal."

"What?"

The question asked by Mal was asked earlier, while she was looking distractedly at her boots. However, now that she has heard what Fairy Godmother has just said, she turns her eyes to her, still not believing what she has heard.

"Your mother. She was born without wings, a pair of frightening horns, her skin was green, as were her eyes, which were like two emeralds." Mal listened dumbfounded and just didn't say anything, because she couldn't say anything in the face of this information. "She appeared in a huge tree and the crows who lived there began to look after her, because we feared her too much to help her. Believe me, I really regret my past." The Fairy Godmother is embarrassed to say what she wishes was just a blurred shadow of her past. "When Nanny came back from her trip..."

"Nanny?"

Jay interrupted her, not recognizing that name from the story.

"It's my sister's name, The One of Legends, is how the others know her. She's Nanny to me. Anyway, when Nanny saw the little girl, she fell in love immediately and even though she knew the future, she helped the child and took her home to look after her. My sister treated Maleficent like her own daughter. Her mother Mal was a very intelligent and powerful fairy, which is probably why we can't see her as just a fairy. Nanny also brought her up very well, so there must be some other reason. Maleficent new more magic than many fairies at a very young age, which is why she left Fairy School early."

"Wait a minute, are you saying that Maleficent, the Mistress of Evil, had a mother? And she loved her? How?"

Carlos asks what's on everyone's mind, they just haven't asked out of respect for Mal, who still can't define how she's feeling.

"You don't know Nanny, she's the kindest fairy I know."

Rashid says, which makes Helena a little jealous.

"Yes, she is." The Fairy Godmother smiles involuntarily. "Maleficent grew up with love and care, but nothing prevents the future from being fulfilled." That part wouldn't be leaving Mal's thoughts any time soon. "Some things happened when she turned sixteen. From then on, things went as you know them, Maleficent became the worst person you'd ever met and years later she cursed Aurora."
