Chapter 2
It seems like a weird fantasy or maybe a dream but it seriously felt so real. Diaval see himself walking down a rocky path inside the Moors heading toward at an uncertain direction. The sun was nearly a rise and tree fairies can be seen floating in the midst air throwing magical glowing dust at the nearby flower beds. As each magical dust touch the ground a beautiful flower sprout to life.
Diaval still confuse look around. At the end of the seems like a never-ending path a majestic light can be seen at the end.
Curious, Diaval followed the majestic light leading him to the heart of the Moors. A large lake at the center where the water is crystal clear. Different kinds of fairies, pixies flew around dancing in the song of the winds. Truly this is the most spectacular sight any man, or raven could see in his life.
At the center of the lake stands a small island with an unusual old tree standing at all of its might. There stands a fair maiden dancing around, giggling with the fairies.
Diaval tried to look but the distance obstruct a clear view at the maidens face. He tried calling her on top of his voice but the maiden didn't seem to hear his words.
Diaval then came closer to the water, touching the water with his bare feet when something strange happen. His feet didn't sink and instead float in the water. His bare feet didn't even feel the coldness of the water at all.
"Strange!" he quietly said still amaze in walking on the water. He continued his walk towards the island.
As he get closer his feet sink in the water making a loud splash disturbing the calmness of the lake, the sudden sounds startle the maiden. Causing the young woman to run.
"Miss! Wait!" Diaval yell as he struggle to get out of the water.
Still soaking wet Diaval run after the young woman till he reach a large corn field. As he run the woman just disappeared in the crops.
"Who was that?" Diaval ask to himself, looking at every direction for any signs where the girl could have gone.
As he was about to turn back he stumble upon a large hound. The hound howl and was ready to attack Diaval. "Stay down boy!" he say.
Diaval prepared for his attack when suddenly a large net covered him. The net was strong enough that he can't cut himself out, holding him like a captive animal.
"Let me out!" He command.
Struggling to get out, a man came out of the shadow carrying a shovel. He walks slowly admiring his prey before preparing to finish him off. He swung his shovel with all his might, hitting Diaval directly in his head knocking him out.
Waking up in his strange dream Diaval feel groggy.
He look around and saw that the battle was over. Corpse of dead soldiers scattered around the battle field. The once green grass were now red covered with blood of the fallen. Crows feasting on the dead while a few number of Tree warriors scan for any survivor.
Diaval then got up but his knees were too weak. He tried to walk but after his third step he fell down on the ground once more.
Feeling in pain he shock his head down. He just stayed down for a few minutes when he sees a familiar set of hands. Looking up he sees Maleficent extending his hand to help him get up.
"Diaval you did good today." She said. As she wave her hand a glowing dust went inside Diaval, healing all his wounds and broken bones in an instance.
"Thank you your mistress." He said giving a polite bow.
"For saving my life, I'll grant you a wish."
"A wish your mistress?" His eyes grew wide.
"Yes anything you want. I can offer you your freedom."
"My freedom? No your mistress I am forever in dept for you and I wish not for anything at all."
Maleficent was shock by his answer. "Are you sure Diaval? you could be free if you wanted."
"No I wish to stay by your side and be your loyal servant." He said giving a polite bow once more but smaller this time.
"Very well"
A few months has pass...
King Stefan's soldiers still continued to attack the wall with everything they got. But after months and months of failure they stop attacking and build a few dozens of camp around the wall. Guards patrol the area day and night searching for a way or any weakness in the wall. Mercenaries and bounty hunters from different nation were hired to find and kill Maleficent but all that came back was either their armors or their cold dead bodies. Some flee after encountering Maleficent, striking fear in their hearts.
Making the wall of thorn indestructible, Maleficent ignored the guards and let them patrol the area as they wish. She and Diaval instead focus all their attention in looking after Princess Aurora.
One sunday morning princess Aurora decided to wonder outside near the forest as his aunties, inside the house played a weird board game that was popular to the pixies back then.
Hiding in the tree Diaval and Maleficent watch as Aurora went to the forest.
"Diaval, I have a task for you."
He went closer "Yes your mistress?"
"I want you to look after Beastie for me as I deal with this fools." she said pointing her hands at the cottage.
"Right away your mistress." He said, turning back into his raven form as Maleficent wave her hands.
Maleficent watch as Diaval flew off in the sky until he was no wear to be seen, she then went back to look at the cottage with a mischievous smile. "This is ganna be fun."
Inside the cottage as expected knotgrass, Flittle and Thistletwit were seated in the wooden chairs as they play an ancient board game in the table. Both Knotgrass and Flittle are having a one on one fierce some battle while Thistletwit is the audience staring at each move they made.
As the game was about to be over water droplets started to drip in Knotgrass' head. This made her furious "Stop that this instant." then another droplet drip inside her head that made her even more furious. "Stop it!." She scream blaming both Flittle and Thistletwit for her misfortune.
Outside Maleficent saw and enjoyed at the three pixies' misery. "Those fools! are dumber than I thought"
"Lets make this more interesting shall we!" she said and with a wave of her hand she enchant a spell. A dark green dust then came circling in her hand forming a small dark rainy clouds, she blew it towards the house that grew and form a violent storm inside.
She watch as the three scream as they struggle inside the house.
