Thanks for the two reviews
Yeah, I'll be trying to do more backstories, I haven't watched Cruella yet but thanks for the heads up, maybe I'll see what I can do there.
Yeah, you could say so, but I'm still busy with Mal's emotions.

Thank you for the four reviews.
I'm still working on making Maleficent turn back but it is still far from now. Shipping Maleficent and Hades is not a bad idea and i think that Hades still loves Maleficent. Watch and see.
They are seeing Stefan for who he is.
Thank you, I want Mal and her parents to heal, and finally find the good Mal had found.

Thanks for the review, oh well thanks for the info, I'll still skip that part for now, maybe later that will come out, not sure if I like the idea of her being raped but I agree in real life that can happen.
Enjoy everyone.
"The day of the christening had arrived, but Hades had to leave because he had already discovered the small baby Hercules in the arms of a young couple."
Mal told Hades, "So you left, like you did with me."
"Mali, your mother was driving me crazy. I had to leave," Hades responded.
"Why did you leave me with her then?" Mal asked.
Hades didn't know what to say. He thought to himself, "If you only knew what had happened."
"A grand celebration it was, visitors from all over entering in a line reaching from the castle to its gates."
"Why did everyone need to be there?" asked Celia.
"King Stefan wants everyone present," replied Queen Leah.
"All manner of folk came to the christening, even a trio of fairies, who sought to foster peace and goodwill." The voice narrated.
"Still don't know why they came?" Queen Leah said.
"You didn't invite them," Carlos asked.
"No, King Stefan's invited us," Knotgrass said.
"We knew him as he grew up in the Moors," Thistlewit said.
"Oh, look, there's the baby!" The voice of Flittle was heard.
Thistlewit awed. "I love babies!"
"Can you just concentrate, please?" Knotgrass complained.
"Wait, if there were three of you, where was the third one?" Ben asked, turning to the two pixies.
"Flittle was killed," Knotgrass said "She sacrificed herself to save us all,"
Ben was in shock as were all the rest of Auradon. Mal and Evie just looked away as that was one of the rare stories Mal's mother told them about.
"Oh!"
"I'm not telling you again!"
"Bossie much," Uma said.
The three flew up to Stefan and Leah's thrones. Stefan made a gesture for them to start.
"Greetings, your Majesty. I am Knotgrass of the Moorland Fair Folk."
"I'm Flittle, Your Kingship."
"And I'm Thistlewit, Your Royalnesses."
"Why are they so formal if King Stefan knew them," Dizzy asked.
"They have to be formal," Ben said.
"They bring gifts for our daughter?" Queen Leah asked, getting a nod from her husband.
"Did Queen Leah just question Stefan?" Melody asked.
"I didn't like the creatures of the Moors and still will never like them," Queen Leah said.
"But the Moors are a wonderful place," Aurora said.
"I don't care," Queen Leah said "It's bad enough you took Audrey there but I showed her how to be a real princess."
"Mother!" Aurora shot back "I can raise my daughter myself. Thank you."
The fairies allowed Flittle to explain. "These are not just any old gifts, for, you see, we're magic!"
"And very good with children," Knotgrass added with a smile.
"Not that good," Aurora said to Phillip.
"I agree there," Phillip said.
"Very well." King Stefan said with his hand.
Knotgrass flew up to the baby's cradle first.
"Sweet Aurora, I wish for you the gift of beauty." She blew out and tiny red coloured petals swirled around Aurora's head. She cooed at the magic.
Flittle flew up behind her. "My wish is that you will never be blue,"
"only happy, all the days of your life." One of the blue pixie butterflies that always surrounded her landed on the baby's nose, making her sneeze.
"Oh Aurora, you were a cute baby," Cinderella said.
"Adorable," Snow White said.
Leah smiled fondly, enjoying the gifts bestowed on her daughter. Stefan on the other hand watched impassively.
Lastly, Thistlewitt flew forward. "Sweet baby, my wish for you is that you find..."
They gasped as wind howling overtook the hall. The guests screamed as the candles blew out and chandeliers swayed. Amidst the chaos, Maleficent's shadow grew against the wall.
"Here she comes," Adam said.
"Right one time," Eugene said.
The crowd parted allowing the woman to walk through.
"Maleficent!" Everyone gasped except the Vks.
The three fairies whispered hurriedly to each other next to the crib.
"Maleficent!"
"Looks like the three fairies were also afraid of her," Chad said.
"Everyone on the Isle feared her," Evie said.
"Yeah, if you are not in her gang you stay out of her way," Uma said getting a look from Mal.
Stefan tensed on his throne.
Maleficent, clad in long black robes, high neck, horn, and hair covering parted through eliciting murmurs from the crowd. Her staff clicked each time she tapped it down.
"You can see the fear in King Stefan's eyes," Jane said,
"He knows he made an enemy out of her." Carlos said.
Slamming it down one last time in the silent hall, she smiled at the rulers.
"Well, well." She chuckled, walking up the stairs to their thrones. Diaval flew around cawing. "What a glittering assemblage, King Stefan."
"This is the Maleficent we've all heard about," Chad said.
"But why was no one told about King Stefan's past," Amer asked.
"It has nothing to do with anyone," Queen Leah said.
"Queen Leah, you said your husband was of royal blood, this proof he was not." King Beast said making the Queen quiet. "He was a peasant working in the castle as a servant."
Stefan stayed still while Leah glanced between Maleficent and her husband in fear. Maleficent pet Diaval's back, he who sat on the top of her scepter. She examined the crowd.
"Royalty, nobility, the gentry, and..." She laughed, gaze directed to the three fairies. "How quaint. Even the rabble."
"Maleficent is enjoying this." Akiho said seeing her smile.
"Evil always enjoys their pray's suffering," Aladin said remembering Jaffar, and then looked to where Jay was and he wondered how the boy grew up with a father like Jaffar.
"You okay?" Jasmine asked.
"Yeah just thinking, about Jay over there," He answered.
"We should invite him home for the summer," Jasmine said.
"Sounds like a plan,"
She met Stefan's eyes and prepared herself to speak.
"I must say I really felt quite distressed at not receiving an invitation." She said innocently.
"There's the story about the invitation not being received," Carlos said to Evie.
"Everyone thought she was mad about not being invited but it was all fails," Evie said.
"We'll fix this," Belle said hearing the two's conversation.
"You're not welcome here," Stefan told her.
"Wrong words Stefan," Ben said.
"Oh," Maleficent's red lips turn downward as she mockingly whimpers, seeming upset. This immediately turns into sly laughter.
"Oh dear. What an awkward situation."
Leah sat forward. "You're not offended?" She asked worriedly.
"Why, no," Leah glanced around disbelievingly. "And to show I bear no ill will, I, too, shall bestow a gift on the child."
"Queen Leah has no idea what's going on," Chad said.
"And Maleficent knows this,"
"Stefan looks afraid."
"Well he should be, he is the reason she became evil," Amilia said.
Diaval cawed as Stefan angrily rose up, Leah following. "No! We don't want your gift!" He spat. Ignoring him, Maleficent walked toward Aurora.
"He knows he screwed up, he made the wrong enemy," Almer said.
"Now he's going to pay for it," Jane said.
The fairies flew forward, Knotgrass leading. "Stay away from the princess!"
"Yes, stay away!" Thistlewit echoed.
The crowd gasped as Maleficent waved a finger and the three were knocked away, hit the lid of a chest and fell in. The lid closed over them.
"That's rude," Tinkerbell said looking at the two fairies. "I know how that feels.
"I'm gonna guess my father did that to you," Harry said.
"Few times yes," Tinkerbell said.
"Mmm," She stared down at the baby in yellow regal attire. She thought of something, letting green magic energy to flow from her fingers.
"Listen well, all of you." She commanded.
Whispering voices echoed, "Listen well, all of you."
"This won't redo the spell?" Carlos asked.
"No it won't" Fairygomother answered.
"The princess shall indeed grow in grace and beauty, beloved by all who meet her."
"That's a lovely gift." Leah cut in quickly.
"Mafelicent did just say she bore no ill will so she started of good." Hannah said.
Maleficent glanced over. Stefan shuffled on his feet. "Don't do this."
"What did he expect will happen after what he did to her," Hercules said.
"He thought taking her wings would make her weaker," Aurora said.
"It just made her stronger," Diaval said.
Maleficent put a finger on her lips. Glancing to the other side of the room, her wicked eyes caught the glittering sharp needle of a spinning wheel. She stretched her arms out, green magic swirling around her as with each word her voice grew louder.
"But, before the sun sets on her 16th birthday, she will prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and fall into a sleep like death, a sleep from which she will never awaken."
"Don't make promises you can't keep," Cinderella said.
""It could backfire on you," Eric said.
"Like it did Stefan." Melody said.
"This was your idea brother," Zeus said to Hades.
"She wanted an idea to not kill the kid, so I gave her the idea, I didn't want to see a baby in the underworld."
Mal heard what her dad just and glanced at all the vks, she wondered how many souls of the isle Hades had to judge.
"Maleficent, please don't do this, I'm begging you." Stefan pleaded.
"I like you begging," Maleficent said simply. "Do it again." She glanced down, directing him to kneel.
"She's enjoying this, his pain," Jay said.
"His suffering for what he done"
Lizard Maleficent hissed as she saw Stefan on the screan.
"He wont hurt you, I made sure of that." Hades said to Maleficent.
"What did you do?" Queen Leah shouted.
"I gave him a punishment in the underworld." Hades said smiling, "He is replaying his worst nightmare over and over again, for the rest of his life.
He did so, hands outstretched. His gaze landed on some advisors who watched.
"I beg you."
"Those advisors don't like what he is doing," Eugene said,
"Why?" Aniel asked,
"Every King has advisors to help him rule the kingdom and if they don't like what you're doing can cost you the kingdom. Makes you weak in front of enemies."
"Alright." Maleficent conceded. In the same voice, she continued. "The princess can be woken from her death sleep, but only by true love's kiss."
Everyone gasped at that.
"She's smart." Ariel said.
"She used his word against him," Uma said.
"That's why you don't play with someones feelings," Evie said giving Chad a glance. This Cinderella saw as she heard Evie's words.
"Why do you say that dear?"
"Because Chad uses all the girls in the school to do his homework," His sister Lilly said.
"Not true," Chad said.
"It is true," His other sister Cindy said.
"We will speak about this when where back home," Cinderella said.
She turned to the audience.
"This curse will last till the end of time! No power on Earth can change it."
"So not even her powers can reverse it," Jane asked her mother.
"Yes, dear, even hers." Fairy godmother answered.
People screamed as her magic engulfed the area. It blew people back and knocked them to the floor. Maleficent marched out cackling.
On her throne in the Moors, Maleficent smiled wickedly.
"I think its fair to say to take a break here." Fairy Godmother said. "There is refreshment at the back and their are rooms if anyone wants to go talk privatly with some."
