chapter 2: Birthday Flowers

At the age of twenty-three, you find yourself in the woods, searching for Maleficent. Your younger sister, Aurora, who has just turned ten today, has expressed a strong desire for her favourite flowers, and you are determined to find them for her birthday. To ensure your stealth, you have cast an invisibility spell to conceal your horns and wings. As you continue your quest, you sense the presence of Maleficent nearby.

"Hello, Maleficent," you greet her kindly. You always address her as Maleficent, but when your little sister is near, you call her Fairy Godmother. Over the years of knowing her, you found out she is actually a really nice and caring woman. She even apologized for what she had done to you and Aurora and would occasionally still do that.

"Hello, (Y/N), how are you today?" she said politely while walking with you.

"I am actually doing fine, and I suppose you are as well?"

"Of course, (Y/N)..."

You look at her with a small frown. "Yes?"

"I am awfully sorry for what I have done," sadness evident in her voice.

You gave a small smile to her. "You have apologized enough over the years, and I have forgiven you, Godmother. It's in the past, so don't worry much about it."

"Beastie is turning 10 today, which means you have only 6 years left."

You smile. "Yes, six years to learn new things and enjoy life at its fullest. Can't dwell on the bad things. I have to be positive about it! Oh, and that reminds me, I have a few questions I must ask of you." You stopped in your tracks, looking at her. She stopped as well and answered with,

"Of course, whatever is it that you need to know?"

You looked away a bit shyly before answering her and looking at her again with confidence and spoke, "Would you teach me how to do magic and maybe teach me how to fly? My raven friend tried to teach me over ten years, but it didn't go so well."

She looks a bit surprised at your two questions, especially at the last one. She thought for a moment before speaking. "Of course, I would love to teach you magic, but I do have a question of my own." Why the need for flight if you don't have wings, dear?

You gave a deep thought to her last question, and that's when you remembered you have your horns wings under your spell. It became so mundane for you to hide them that you forgot about it. So that's when you answered with, "Oh, thank you for teaching me magic. And to answer your question, I do have wings, but they are hidden by an invisibility spell by me." You said while snapping your fingers, you let her see your (F/C) wings.

Maleficent looked at you with amazement and wonder. She thought to herself where you came from and how you were born with wings,and horns and eventually spoke,

"I can not help you with your flight, but I do know someone who can. Diaval!" she called out. That's when you saw your raven friend flying in and landing on a branch near the two of you.

"Well, hello, handsome!" You stroked the bird's feathers, and he nuzzled his head in your hand.

"Handsome?" Maleficent questioned with a big smirk.

"Well, yes, he's a very attractive raven," you replied, smiling.

Maleficent chuckled and made a two-fingered gesture at the raven. You gasped at the sight of your feathered friend, transforming into a man before your very eyes. A blush appeared on your cheeks. His hair was raven black with small feathers interspersed throughout. His pale skin was adorned with scars. His captivating brown eyes held your gaze, and you stared at them longer than you should have.
