Chapter 6
AN: Sorry I took so long to update, I have been writing for other fics. Also I have now got a Sword in the Stone one now if you want to check it out. So on with the story.
"Maleficent!" Rindeheart gasped now feeling scared as he had made fun of her.
"I would say nice to see you but I don't think I need to lie to you." She said eying his home, she was deciding whether it would make a good base for her plans but she decided against it. It was too small and she didn't want to use too much of her power. She was saving it for the annihilation of the King and Queen.
"What can I do for you?" he asked shaking mildly, he thought she'd let his comment slide but he was never sure.
"I need you to assemble an army to overthrow the royals, take whoever is willing and go to my old dwellings. Some of my idiot minions may still be lurking there."
"Anything else?"
"Also, my spell books and my cauldron. The cauldron is a family heirloom."
"Where are you going to be when I'm out doing all this?"
"Here of course." She smiled.
As he left his hut on the road to Maleficent's castle in the Dark Regions he was muttering to himself about how he always ended up worse off, while she could sit on her backside in his house and just do nothing.

After Lucinda had finished her banana's she sat in silence and studied the boy some more. It was obvious he belonged to a tribe of some sort as he seemed to know the layout of the forest and had many strange markings upon his skin.
There were pictures of bugs, snakes and tropical birds all colourfully inked onto his brown skin. He seemed a little edgy now she had finished her feast. He was jumping at every sound that entered their eardrums but Lucinda felt calm here.
"What is your name?" she asked.
"Mattu"
"Like Matthew?" she asked
"Mat-tu" he said sounding the syllables out. "What name have you?"
"Lucinda."
"Cinder." He repeated.
"Put a Lu in front of the Cinder."
"Loo-Cinder"
"Close enough"
"We need now go."
"Do we have to? I like it here."
"Safe. No!"
"Are you sure?"
"Many years live."
"If you say so." She replied and they started walking through the forest. Mattu cautious of the steps they both took.
"Is there magic here?"
"Magik?"
"Oh, that answers my question."
He shook his head in confusion, not understanding fully what she was saying. Mattu knew some of the language she spoke of but not as much as his sister would know. She had stumbled across a camp a few months ago and fell in love with a man whom spoke Lucinda's language, Fecha had been learning the language ever since. Fecha would understand what Lucinda was saying.
