"Fairies are the most common magical creatures that you'll probably encounter, born out of the purest of love and kindness. However, once in a blue moon a dark fairy is born, one that isn't conceived in love or joy. One of these is Maleficent.
"She wasn't always dark. Although her parents hadn't been the kindest, she was always trying to be the best person she could be. However, because she hadn't been born out of love, she was destined for evil. Her peers had alienated her, so much so that she wasn't invited to the princess's christening. That was the last straw, as Maleficent unleashed her curse.
"Sixteen years later, Maleficent found love in a stable boy in the King's kingdom. When she let herself feel love, she decided that it was time to undo the curse. However, it had already been undone, and she was banished, far far away from her one true love. What the kingdom didn't know, however, is that she was with child. No one knows what happened to the child, but rumour has it that they too were born out of evil.
"These events began the famous plot against the villains of all the lands. It began when Maleficent was banished to an isolated part of the Enchanted Woods, away from any source of life. Kings from far and wide began banishing the villains that resided in their kingdoms into the Enchanted Woods, destined to live their days out there. Another notable villain that got banished there soon after was the Evil Queen, having failed her plot against Snow White.
"It is not confirmed, but rumour has it that she was too with child. Although Snow White begged for her step sister or brother to be spared, the alleged child also now lives in the prohibited part of the Great Woods. Jafar and Cruella De Vil were the next villains who were banished, and the list continues until today.
"Now kids, it is very important that you never ever venture into that part of the Great Woods. No one has been there in a very long time so none of us know what's down there. Are we all clear?"
The children sat around Fairy Godmother all nodded their heads, including Ben, the future heir to the throne. He'd always been curious, just like his mother was, and couldn't help what wonder what actually lay in the woods.
Summary: There is no Isle of The Lost. Villains and their children are banished into the Enchanted Woods, far away from civilisation. However, a certain charming soon-to-be-king prince and a purple haired dark fairy try to change that.
So this is a little gem I thought of when I was watching Into The Woods the other night. It's going to be a lot slower with updates than my other fic but I will make sure to post at least a chapter a week. This fanfiction will proceed at a much faster rate than Through The Cracks but will ultimately have a lot more plots and a lot more storylines for the other villain kids, yet will still stay centred to BenxMal.
Please leave any ideas in the reviews and I'll be happy to tailor this story to the best it can be. Thank you :)
