HotXbun: I am so sorry that it has nearly been THREE MONTHS since I last updated! I was working on other stories.
In this chapter, Mal is going to meet somebody. Somebody who is going to change her life forever.
Descendants 4: Here you go!

Chapter 4 Everything Changes
Maleficent's POV [The Dragon Extra: This is the first time the story's in Maleficent's POV.]
I was in the village's meeting room with some of the other villagers.
We were discussing what do about the dragons.
"Either we vanish them or they vanish us", I stated. "One more search. Before the ice sets in. If we find the dragon's nest, we can destroy it and they will leave!"
"Those ships never come back Maleficent", a villager pointed out.
"We are dragon hunters", I pointed out. "It's an occupational hazard! Who's with me?"
Everybody just stayed quiet.
"Alright then", I said. "Those who stay have to look after Mal."
"I'm in", everybody yelled.
"Good", I stated before everybody started leaving.
"Well then", Grimhilde started as she stopped drinking from her mug attachment. "I better pack my undies."
"No Grimhilde", I commanded. "I need you to stay here and train some new recruits."
"Good idea", Grimhilde said sarcastically. "And while I'm busy, Mal can watch the store! Hot metal. Sharp objects. What could possibly go wrong?!"
"What am I going to do with her", I asked.
"Let her train with me", Grimhilde suggested.
"I'm being serious Grim", I stated sternly.
"And so am I", Grimhilde stated.
"You've got to be kidding me", I asked in shock. "She'll get killed before you let the first dragon out of it's cage!"
"You don't know that Maleficent", Grimhilde stated.
"Yes I do", I stated.
"No you don't."
"Yes I do."
I took a calming breath before I continued talking.
"Look Grimhilde", I started. "You know what she's like. She never listens. Her attention span is worse than Diablo's. I take her out fishing, and she ends up drawing them instead."
"So she likes drawing", Grimhilde asked. "What's wrong with that?"
"When I was Mal's age my mother told me to bang my head against a rock and I did it", I revealed. "I thought I was crazy, but I did it. And do you know what happened?"
"You got a concussion", Grimhilde guessed.
"No", I replied. "That rock split in two! It taught me what a dragon hunter could do Grim. They could level terrain and raise seas. When I was Mal's age I knew who I was and what I could do. Mal is not that girl."
"Look Maleficent", Grimhilde started. "Like it or not...you won't always be there to protect Mal. She's going to get out there again. She's probably out there right now."
Mal's POV
I was walking through the forest.
"Why is she like that", I asked myself. "Why doesn't she get what I mean?"
Suddenly, I tripped!
I looked up and saw why I tripped.
The terrain was uneven.
It looked like something...something crashed there.
I face turned into a look of shock when I realized what had crashed.
I quickly got up and started following the crash sight.
Then...then I stopped.
I looked down and saw what had crashed.
A dragon.
It was trapped in a net.
The net I threw.
Realization dawned on me.
This was the dragon I shot down!
I used my magic to conjure up a blade and I slowly walked to it.
I got a better look at it.
It had a medium sized, slender but strong body. It had large and round feet. It had a long tail with a fin on each side of it. It had a trail of small spikes from it's head to the end of it's tail. It had a pair of small, triangle shaped ears on it's head. It had dark purple skin. [The Dragon Extra: This Dragon looks just like Toothless but if he had purple skin. It is the counterpart to him after all.]
I could tell by it's scales that it was a female.
"I did it", I said in shock. "I did it! This changes everything! Yes!"
I put my foot on my kill.
"I have brought down this mighty beas..."
Suddenly the dragon...moved! Meaning it was not dead!
I quickly took my foot off of it.
I slowly turned my head to look at it's face.
And when I did...it was looking straight at me with emerald green eyes with black irises.
I gulped before trying to look away.
But I couldn't help but look at it's eyes. It's eyes that were trying to guilt trip me.
I took a deep breath and held my blade tightly in my hands.
"I'm going to kill you dragon", I stated. "I am going to cut out your heart and take it to my mother. I am a dragon hunter. I am a dragon hunter!"
I closed my eyes and I lifted my blade above my head.
Before I brought it down...I looked at the dragon one more time.
It stared at me one more time before closing it's eyes.
It had accepted it's fate.
I closed my eyes and readied myself to make the final blow.
But for some reason...I couldn't do it.
I dropped my blade and looked at the dragon.
"I did this", I stated.
I nearly left. But instead...I cut the dragon free!
As soon as I did...it jumped me!
It pinned me down, opened it's mouth...and...roared at me.
Then...it left.
I got up and tried to walk away...but the shock of what had just happened caused me to faint instead.
HotXbun: Well. That happened.
Challenge: Tell me what you think is going to happen next.
My Answer: If you've watched How to Train Your Dragon you'll know.
