Mal sighed as she met the gaze of her mother, Maleficent.
"Hello Mother. How is life on the Island?"
Maleficent sighed as she pulled out a piece of paper.
"Not good. Peter Pan and his lost boys raided the island. Not only do we have no supplies, quite a few of the older villains died in the fighting. Leaving 4 orphans. We can't keep them on the Island any longer. The only reason there are kids on the Island is because the parents take care of you. Those four have lost everything."
Mal nodded solemnly, taking the paper from her mother.
Prince Hans of the Southern Isles, son, Alexander Southern, ability, fire manipulation, tiger morph, hero, Queen Elsa of Arrendelle.
Mordu, son, Max Moor, ability, bear morph, hero, Queen Merida of Clan Dunbroch.
Mother Gothel, son, Ace Gothel, ability, eagle morph, hero, Queen Rapunzel of Corona.
Ursula, son, Zane Triton, ability, water manipulation, tentacles, siren song, hero, Queen Ariel of the sea.
Mal sighed as she read the letter out loud. After several gasps of shock, Maleficent spoke.
"I am getting too old for this. Especially when the Island is pretty much on its own. So… thanks for not helping Beast. You too Belle. Mal, a word?"
"Yes mother?"
"I'm retiring my position as Queen of the Island. You're my heir. I know you can handle this. I'm trusting you Mal."
Mal nodded respectfully to Maleficent.
"Yes mother. Still, how am I supposed to fix this. You never taught me how?! And unless the heroes intend on helping us out, then we are definitely going nowhere fast. Particularly these villain kids. These were for relatively recent crimes. And knowing that the heroes in question are skilled with ice magic, archery, ships, and frying pans, it might be safer to stay on the island."
Mal whined as she read over the note again.
"Could I please have a word in private with the Arrendellian royal family? This seems a rather important matter."
Elsa rose quietly as she followed Mal into a quiet back room. Anna and Kristoff trailing behind them.
"What's so important it couldn't wait?"
Elsa asked nervously, fully aware of the Dragon girl's temper. Mal leaned back slightly.
"The fate of the son of Prince Hans is currently riding on your shoulders. I can't keep him on the Island because he has no legal guardian. Even if he wasn't Prince Hans' son, I would still ask you to do this for me. Alexander has a gift. Something you may be familiar with. He has full control over the element of fire. As an added gift, Alexander also turns into a Siberia tiger. Relatively easy to accomplish, but that might have just been from him growing up around other magic users. I ask you this because he is the only known elemental on the island. Unless you count Judge Claude Frollo's daughter Claire. His current possessions are, as I know, his horse, his father's sword, and a few necessities. I will not force you into this. It is fully your choice."
Elsa looked the purple haired teen in the eye.
"How old is he?"
Mal blinked, slightly surprised at the question.
"My age. Sixteen."
Elsa glanced to her sister who nodded quietly.
"Is he anything like his father?"
Mal sat back quietly in thought.
"To an extent. He looks almost exactly like Hans. Is an excellent duelist, very confident in his abilities, and very well mannered. The only difference is that his father told him early on about what he did to you. So, Alexander swore to never make the same mistake."
Elsa nodded at Mal.
"We're would be happy to let Alexander stay with us."
Mal smiled in relief.
"You have just made my life 25% easier. I hope the other three agree this easily."
Elsa smiled at her.
"Best of luck little one."
