Chapter 2

Years passed since I came to live in the moors. I have watched as Maleficent, my surrogate sister and only friend here, befriend a human named Stefan, fall in love with him, and have her wings taken and heart broken. All so her friend and love could become king of the nearby human kingdom. 

And now the two of us were walking alone with me helping her walk. This is the reason humans are monsters. They don’t care about life, beauty, or the harshness towards living things. Instead, they only desire power and greed. 

The two of us were walking in a cornfield with a scarecrow off to the horizon. Maleficent fell to the ground and I helped her to my feet. 

“Thank you, [Y/N].” she told me. 

“Your welcome, Mal.” I told her. 

Then, I heard the loud cawing of a crow or a raven. It was in trouble and I turned into the direction of the cawing. An animal was in danger. I was a druid. A nymph. A nature spirit. And it was my job to protect and save every and all animals and creatures. 

Maleficient nodded and I ran off to the cawing with her trailing behind me. A hunter was shouting, “I’Ve got you!” over and over to the pour thing caught in a net. A dog was barking at it to. Green light came from my fingers as I willed the tall grass around me to grow around the hunter, but it was no use. 

The hunter/ farmer had gotten out of it. Mal looked a little bored with me and my plant manipulation ability trying to help the poor creature. 

“Wicked bird!” the farm shouted ready to attack him with a shovel. 

“No!” I cried out. 

And then, the bird started to change. Started to turn into a man. A naked man! I covered my eyes as the farmer and dog ran away. Maleficent walked towards the crow-turned-man and shoved me forward (still covering my eyes here!). 

“What have you done to my beautiful self?” he asked her. 

He even sounds cute. Shut up, [Y/N]! 

“Would you rather I let them beat you to death?” she asked him. 

“I’m not certain.” he told her. 

“Stop complaining. I saved your life. With a little help from- [Y/N]? What are you doing?” 

“I am the last being of purity and innocence in the vernal clan. I am not going to stop being that way now!” I argued with her. 

“Well, then give him something to wear.” she told me. 

“How exactly?” 

“You have some magic. I’ve been teaching you remember.” 

“Oh right.” I made a black cloak appear in my hand (that wasn’t covering my eyes) and handed it over to wear I think the man was standing. 

That must have been where he was because he took the cloak from me and I lowered my eyes to see he had put it on. 

“I’m sorry. Forgive me.” the bird-man said. 

“What do we call you?” Mal asked. 

“Diaval. And in return for saving my life, I am your servant. Whatever you need.” he bowed to her. 

“Wings. I need you to be my wings.” she told him. 

And my heart sank into my stomach. 

“But first we need to get you cleaned up. When was the last time you bathed?” 

“Bathed?” he questioned her.
