On the day of his 18th birthday he will prick his finger on the spoke of a spindling wheel.....or maybe he'll fall in love. His mother's first love has come back with a vengence and cursed him as a babe, so he was sent off to be raised in the woods out of harm's way. Yet Maleficent watches him, admires him from afar. Maleficent needs to find a balance, between love and revenge. He knows his feelings toward Auroro aren't what he needs but he can't help the love flourishing in his heart.
