"So what happened exactly?" Belle asked him.
"I saw our parents. They're going to somehow find a way onto the island and attempt to take over." Carlos explained. He was calmer than before, but that wasn't as good as it sounds considering his unCarlos-like venomous mood.
"Well, that's impossible. The barrier won't allow it. What happened with Maleficent was fixed, and won't happen again." FGM assured everyone.
"And Maleficent was the most powerful on that island," King Beast added, but when the four children from the Isle looked at each other, he asked, "Is she not?"
Carlos sniggered, "Nope! That would be my father, Mutalmaya." It was hard not to notice the way he spat the last part.
"B-but I thought he was just a myth." Dough said.
"Is that what they tell you? No. No. He's very real." Carlos told them, Dough grimaced at the way he said it but as harshly as he'd said the first part, Carlos's voice became soft, "And there's no way for us to stop him."
"Surely there's a way to-" Ben tried, but Carlos interrupted him,
"Defeat the creator of all magic good and bad?"
"If we gather enough magic users maybe... Was there any indication to when it will happen?" Ben countered, which made Carlos's expression get even darker,
"You don't understand what he can do. It won't matter how much time we have." There was an eerie silence before the Queen dismissed everyone, saying that the Fairy God Mother and the royal couple would discuss it, along with "King Ben" and the others should go relax. They had to discuss matters out of any of the remaining teen's hands, and Carlos gave them as much information as he could. However, as Mal was about to walk out, she was asked to stay behind as well.
"Mal, sweetheart, I was wondering... well first off, is Carlos okay? He seemed a little... intense." Queen Belle addressed Mal with a(slightly nervous) smile.
"Yeah, he's fine. What you just saw there was... a more complicated version of Carlos. Kind of like a fun alter-ego." Mal told her, sounding protective but not exactly upset by the question.
"Ah... And on the matter of your parents... Carlos seemed..." The Fairy God Mother didn't quite have as much composure as the Queen and was struggling to find the right words to say.
"Curella and Mutalmaya make me, Evie and Jay's parents look like you guys. And on top of that Mutalmaya has the most power ever know." She paused, then(accidentally) allowed for some emotion to show and muttered, "You can't begin to imagine how he's feeling."
"What do you mean, they make your parents look like mine?" Ben asked, cautiously, "Life on the Isle..." But before he could finish, she whipped her head around, to face him,
"Is worse than you'll ever know, but for some of us, not as bad. Evie, Jay and I had it good... they, our parents, could be difficult at times... but at least in their own way they loved us... I think"
"And Carlos?" Belle asked gently and Mal frowned,
"His mother is insane and his father is the most powerful villain to ever live. What do you think?"
"Sweetie, I just have one last question for you. Then you can go. Okay? Wh-"
"Prince Hans." Mal interrupted Belle, "His most recent form was Prince Hans... They don't all have to have something to do with magic."
"Of course not. You and Ben may go now." His mother said.
AN:
Mutalmaya is a combination of two words in Tamil:
-Mutal meaning first
-Maya meaning magic
Also, if you've not figured it out yet, "he" is Mutalmaya, Carlos's papaw
