Disney's Wondrous Secrets

The Border

As the tarp was lain, flattened by the terrible storm, a tall and slender being made herself known. A graceful creature with a hidden rage seemed to patiently walk through the ruined settlement. She stood up pride and her slender shoulders stayed sharp and poised. She wore a deep dark and purple robe and gown, that trailed along the drying grass as she took very patient steps towards the cowering peg legged buffoon. There stood a beautiful, yet looming creature, coming off as so patient and somewhat kind. A luxurious gown graced over her shoulders, trailing all the way down until it softly grazed over the dying grass. Once she forcefully rammed her great staff down, trapping the cruel Toon by his trousers, she smirked.

"My LADY! My—Oh, Your Grace, I—"

"Do not even bother with pathetic formalities." she spoke deep and profound, yet there was that feared rage leaking into her voice. "You know why I have come." Maleficent dared him with a stabbing glare from her terrible green eyes.

"Yeah! Right, um... I can see why ya would think that!" Pete whirled into a spiral of nervousness.

She rose a graceful brow at the cat as she took a moment to scan the area. "I do see that you have been through some trouble." she softly said as she picked up something from the grass.

It was a sweet, wrapped in a light blue wrapper. She smiled at him and held it out for him to see.

"What is this that I am holding?"

"A candy, madame..."

"Indeed, it is. But, this is not just any kind of candy, isn't it? You had a certain sickeningly sweet beast in your midst, Pete. One that could... perhaps, weep these sorts of sweets, right out of its eyes? An idiotic, childish Imaginary. One that belongs to me. You could not even contain a single one."

"Lady Maleficent, I-I could ... explain!"

"You had one task. One. And you couldn't even control a degenerate child. They are mine and mine alone!"

Right then, her rage surely began to show as she stepped towards Pete against his wishes. As she did, her staff began to glow immensely bright. The swirling abyss. Little did he know that his punishment was going to be something he would never be aware of. The same as the mist she set through the land, she had the power to control the will and minds of her subjects. Pete was not immune. He brought this upon himself. That orb brightened even more and something went on with Pete, looking like he had been hit over the head twice. There was no use for him anymore and she could not let him go loose making even more trouble.

"Away to my fortress with you, you useless sack. Await for my orders."

Pete lamely walked off, mesmerized by her spell. She watched him leave in pure disgust before she angrily turned towards another who has joined her. He was as black as the darkest abyss any soul would never dared to tread and so it would seem that his heart was so as well.

"I should have had them skinned when I had the chance. Billowing buffoons, the lot of them." she paced, truly physically tired.

As for the whole reason for the sky to look and sound so destroyed was the fact that it was a seemingly eternal battle between her and her enemy for twenty five days and nights straight. Her supposed ally waiting silently nearby eventually got down from the mount of his brilliant steed that huffed sharply as he stood in the chilling air.

"At this rate, Your Excellency," this dark figure spoke as he carefully bowed his covered head to her. "...due to this feckless ingrate's imprudence as we were in the midst of battle, your prisoners had fallen into the enemy's hands. Along with the mouse."

His voice was a slick, deep and grating baritone, yet it held a softness, a melancholy and yet it was so monotone as if void of all emotion. This servant, it was unknown if he was even human, or spirit. He sported strong ebony armor as did his wonderful giant Friesian. He had a name.
