Maleficent was in the middle of a meeting with her advisors when she heard the door slam. Looking up, she saw her daughter, Mal walk into the room.
"What's up with you?"
Jafar asked in his usual snarky tone. Maleficent sighed, but was actually surprised when her daughter actually lifted Jafar out of his seat by his throat and snarled.
"Mal, put Jafar down. He's annoying, but he has his uses."
Mal growled darkly before dropping Jafar and stalking over to Maleficent's side.
"Yes mother," She growled. Maleficent sighed, looking her daughter over before checking her eyes and smiling proudly at the girl.
"It's finally happened! She's ready!"
Jafar looked at Maleficent before realizing what she'd meant, Jafar grinned.
"My apologies for angering you, your highness."
Mal looked at her mother, slightly confused.
"Mom?"
Maleficent smiled.
"Your inner dragon is forcing itself to the surface. Now, you won't develop horns or wings, your father's genes insured that thankfully. But now, you have much to learn."
Mal sat in her usual spot at her mother's feet.
"Like what mother?"
Maleficent stroked her daughter's hair.
"How to be a politician. Seeing that I'm technically immortal, chances are low that you ever have to take the throne. Instead, I have intent on making you the representative of the Isle of The Lost. Hopefully, you can get us the help we need."
Mal smiled contentedly.
"Alright Mom. But what about my friends?"
Maleficent sighed as Queen Grimhilde spoke up.
"Just because your mother is immortal Mal, doesn't mean the rest of us are. And besides, Maleficent said yup wouldn't have to take the throne. Not if you don't want to. But she will eventually step down. You and your friends are the next generation. You will, hopefully, be able to cope to the changes Aurodon is making better then us. You are the future, but we will always be around to help. For as long as we can."
Mal nodded and looked up at her mother.
"I'm ready Mom. When do I start training?"
Maleficent smiled at her.
"You already have. You've got a thick skin, not much gets to you. You know the rules of the Island and, although I taught them to you discreetly, Aurodon as well. You are a natural liar, which will most likely come in handy as a Politician, and you do what you need to do to get what you need, which was proven simply by surviving on the Island. All you need now is a bit of specialty training to control your dragon so that, if necessary, you can keep the peace in meetings should things start to get out of hand."
Mal nodded, still looking up at Maleficent.
"Though, there is one more thing…"
Mal paled significantly. The last time she'd failed a mission, it hadn't ended well.
"We will be making a return to my castle on the Isle of The Doomed. I will be going with you, so gather your friends."
Mal nodded quickly and jumped to her feet before running out the door to run almost completely into Evie, Jay and Carlos.
"Oh, hey guys. I ask looking for you, come on."
Carlos looked at her.
"Mal, what's going on?"
Mal paused.
"We have to go back to my mother's castle. But this time, she's coming with us, so it'll be easier."
Jay and Evie sighed in relief as they jogged up the stairs behind Mal to see Maleficent waiting for them with their parents.
"Hello children."
She said, her voice even.
"We leave for my castle next week. Until then, you will be having extra classes with your parents for a very important mission that all of you are going on. Go to them now for details."
Jay, Evie and Carlos nodded once before running by her to get to their parents. Jay got to Jafar first.

As Jay stood in front of Jafar, he was surprised to see Jafar stand to greet him.
"Ahhh..my son and heir."
Jay looked at his father.
"Heir to what Dad? You aren't grand vizier of Agrabah anymore."
Jafar chuckled.
"No, I'm not. But I am still Maleficent's adviser, and I'm getting old. Fast. You are to take my position as spymaster. Her eyes and ears on the streets. You will also have to be a decent politician, seeing that I only step down once Maleficent does, and until then, she will be sending you and your friends on diplomatic missions to try and get more supplies on the Island."
Jay nodded, his leather vest wrinkling slightly at the movement as he sat next to his dad.
"Alright Dad. I'll give it my all."
Jafar smiled, ruffling Jay's hair.
"I know you will son. Come with me, we start now."
Jay nodded and got up to follow his father home. Carlos however was slowly making his way to Cruella.
Xxxxxxxxx Carlos Xxxxxxxxx
"Hello son."
Cruella cooed at Carlos, gently ruffling his hair.
"Hey Mom, so…what are our special lessons going to be on?"
Cruella smiled.
"Getting over your fear of dogs and managing economics. You will be taking over as the economic master for the Island once I step down. You already have the necessary resourcefulness and intelligence that is necessary for the job. I'm sure you'll be great at it."
Carlos shivered at the mention of dogs, but stayed by his mother . Cruella sighed and ruffled his hair again.
"Come on son. There are a few things I want to give you at home."
Cards nodded , smiling broadly at Cruella.
"Alright Mom."
Xxxxxxxxx Evie Xxxxxxxxx
Evie was sitting quietly beside her mother, waiting for Queen Grimhilde to speak.
"Evie, you know I won't be here forever, right?"
Evie nodded, looking at her mother.
"I know, but why are you telling me this now?"
Queen Grimhilde smiled.
"Because, for all my time as one of Maleficent's advisors, I knew eventually, that Mal would become the Queen of the Island of the Lost. I also knew that eventually I would be stepping down as an advisor for you to take my place. I've already taught you anything you'd need to know, whether you realized it or not. You are ready dear. But, you still need a few extra lessons. Shall we begin?"
Evie nodded excitedly.
"Alright Mom."
