Darkness. An eternal black void surrounds this green skinned girl. She has thigh high boots, an armored bikini and long gloves on. All of this is black to contrast the green skinned. She also has small horns coming from her head. The darkness slowly starts to swallow the girl up. She struggles trying to free herself from it. She then hears a voice calling to her "Aimala, Aimala" said the voice. She kept thrashing about and the voice called again. "Aimala, Aimala" this time louder. As the darkness crept up to her neck about to swallow her whole the voice cries out even louder "WAKE UP."

The girl suddenly finds herself in a bed. She is in a small room with a bookshelf in the corner. The green lamp on the table next to the bed was turned on and the door to her room was wide open. The girl sat up in her bedroom and noticed a grey skinned woman wearing a long robe that covered most of her body. The grey woman also had horns coming from her head as well as wide yellow eyes. She has a staff with a crystal ball on the end of it. The grey skinned woman reached out her hand and touched the girls face.

"Are you right my child?" said the woman.

"Yes, mother" said the girl. "Just a bad dream."

"It must have been more than just a dream my dear. You were screaming."

The girl paused for a moment.

"My child" said the woman "I know you've been having bad dreams lately. I don't want you to feel like you have to hide anything from me. I want to know what is troubling you."

The girl takes a deep breath. "I've been dreaming of darkness mother" she said. I keep remembering our old world and how it was lost to darkness. I keep feeling the darkness trying to swallow me up."

The woman grabs the girl and hugs her. "I realize this must be hard for you" said the woman. "We've been her for nine years and you still feel uncomfortable. I know. I sometimes wonder about our old home as well." She looks into the girls eyes. "But Aimala try to understand that we can never return to our old home. It is forever lost to darkness. This world will not fall as easily as the other one.

Aimala nodded

"Now my child" said the woman "You need to get ready. We may have found another princess of light."

When Aimala heard this she immediately jumped up getting her outfit on, the same one she wore in the dream. After she had finished getting ready she grabbed her staff. The staff she owned looked similar to her mother's except the base of the staff was a snake design traveling up to the green crystal ball on the end.

"Mother" said Aimala "Where is this princess of light?"

"Calm down" said the woman "We still are not a hundred percent sure if she is one."

"But mom, we already have three shouldn't it be much easier to spot them now?"

"We can't be too careful. We need to make sure it's the right girl."

"Ok mother"

"Now let's head to the meeting room" The two of them exit the room and walk down a long black and orange hall way. They come to a door on the left and the woman opens it. Inside were four men. One dressed in a red pirate outfit and a hook for a hand, one dressed in a long black dress like robe and a blue flaming hair, one that looked like a giant talking sack, and one in a long brown and red robe with a tall hat and curly beard. The two walk up to the large round table. The man with the curly beard begins to speak.

"You're late Maleficent" said the curly beard man to the woman. "We're supposed to be tracking down these princesses of light."

"Our daughter needed some help Jafar" said Maleficent.

"Now now, the little green bird just wants some family time" said the man with the flaming hair.

"I prefer you choose your words carefully when addressing my daughter Hades" said Maleficent to the man with flaming hair.

"We're wasting time with this small talk" said the pirate guy.

"Hook's right" said the sack man. "These princesses of light are essential for our plan to work."

"Speaking of which" said Jafar. "That princess of light you were talking about Maleficent is not a princess."

"What do you mean?" said Maleficent

"The girl is an orphan who hangs out with two miscreants. Not really princess material" Jafar then waves his hand over the table and the image of a girl who looks the same age as Aimala with red hair wearing a white tank top over a black one, a pink skirt and white shoes with and blue onto the top and side. Two boys then suddenly appear right next to the girl. One has brown spikey hair wears red puffy pants a white shirt with a black hooded vest, white gloves, and big yellow shoes. The other has silver hair, a yellow sleeveless shirt, straps that stretch across the shirt, blue puffy pants, black gloves and blue and white shoes. "It's a waste of time to chase this girl. We might as well destroy the world and move on."

"Wait" said Aimala "What do you mean by destroy"

"It's not something you should be concerned with" said Maleficent "We just mark it as a world that we can't use.

Aimala then takes a good look at the silver haired boy. Her first thought was that he looked kind of cute but then she felt some kind of power jolt her.

"Mom" said Aimala "I think that silver haired boy can be useful to us."

"What do you mean my child?"

"I have a good feeling about this."

Maleficent stared into her daughter's bright yellow eyes and smiled. "I see" she says. Maleficent turns to the others "Why don't we let my daughter look for the keyhole of this world" she says. "I think it would be more beneficial for her to come to the front of our mission."

Jafar turned to Maleficent with anger. "Out of the question" he said. "We agreed her job was to take care of princesses of light. A much safer task than the destruction of worlds."

"It's been 9 years Jafar you just recently started to act remotely fatherly to our daughter. I know what she is capable of. I know she will succeed."

"What if something goes wrong? What if she gets swallowed by the darkness, what if she can't withstand the corridor of darkness?"

This show of concern shocked Aimala. This was the first time she has seen her dad show concern for her.

"Dad" she said "I can do this please have confidence in me."

Jafar looked at his daughter and saw the determination in her eyes. He nods in approval. Maleficent waves her staff creating a door Mandela entirely of darkness.

"Go my child and make me proud" said Maleficent

Aimala walks through the dark door and disappears. Maleficent then turns to Jafar.

"I know that look Jafar." She said. "That's a look of jealousy."

"My dear" said Jafar "You can't turn a blind eye to the fact that our daughter is much stronger than us. We are the most powerful sorcerers to exist and she is just as strong as us without even being fully matured."

"She's our daughter. She's supposed to be stronger any less and she's not worthy of being related to us."

"Anymore and we will lose power over her."

Maleficent rose her rod up at Jafar. "You dare talk about our daughter like that?"

Hades suddenly poofs in between Maleficent and Jafar. "Calm down you two love birds" he said. "Let's let the little fairy do her thing."

Maleficent lowered her staff. "Oogie" she said to the sack man. "Continue your assault on the other worlds. We will make sure to get all the princesses."

"As you wish" said Oogie.

With that said Maleficent excuses herself out the room
