Chapter 19: The Next Right Thing

(YOUR POV)

I cried until I had no more tears left. In all my time with Maaleifent I've seen him at his darkness and I stood by his side throughout it but this, this was cold and empty without him. The light I knew with him and Aroura had finally set into darkness waiting for me to succumb.

I've never felt such grief, like gravity, it pulls me down. Since the begin, I've been his side but now he's gone a place that I can't find.

I felt Estella sat next to me on the wooden bench and gently touched my shoulder causing me to look up to her. She offered me a sympathetic smile.

"My dear, you've been blinded by grief but you must move on and do the next right thing, if not for you but your love for Maleficent" She told me as she stood up and offered me her hand to get up.

I place my hand in her's and stood up.

"I don't know what to do next" I whispered as I held my bead down, feeling tears coming to my eyes.

"How can I get up if he's not going be there?"

"Then do it for yourself Y/n" She told me.

"You are already are up, just take it step" She then pulled me causing me to stumble towards

"Step again" She pulled me again until we were out of the bench.

Her antics caused me to smile.

"I can't look too far ahead, I would be too much for me to take"  I honestly told her.

"Well then breaking down to your next breath, your next step, your next choice. It's one you can make, I know you can and  I'll be here to be to guide you towards the light and help you make the do the next right thing" She offered.

I smiled and hugged her.

"Thank you, Estella, I could really use the support"

She wrapped her arms around me, hugging me back.

"Thing's won't ever be the same" I told her as I separated the hug.

"But. I'll make sure and make that choice and do the next right thing" I started confidently.

I wished my heart didn't ack with the lose of Maleficent but I know I can't let anything happen to the Moors, it was our home together and I'm going to make sure to protect the Moors, for Maleficent's sake.

That's when the sound of trumpets was heard.

"To all that living in the Moors" The voice echoed loudly, causing me look around confused where it was coming from.

"Don't worry, it's a device the Royals use to make announcements so everyone to hear" Estella explained to me.

"Oh"

"...and kingdoms far and wide, the king and queen invite you... to attend the wedding... of their son Philip to Aurora in three days' time. All are welcome. And all are expected!"

Estella and I shared a word look.

"Trap?"

I nodded.

"Trap"

"We must warn the others" I told her.

"Yes but first I have a few people I'll have to talk to"

(3 POV)

Maleficent and Conall landed on the ground near The Phoenix and walked up.

"It is said the Dark Fey began with her... evolved over centuries." Conall started to explain.

"You are the last of her descendants. Her blood is your own" Conall told him as he walked up only to turn back pointing at The Phonix.

"You are her"

Maleficent then looked at the Phonix, feeling as though she called him.

"In your hands, you hold the power of life and death... destruction and rebirth. But nature's greatest power is the power of true transformation" He said as he started to circle around Maleficent.

"You transformed when you raised Aurora and well you met Y/n"

Maleficent watched a Fey walked by, with the black wings, that looked just like Y/n. He was shocked, he honestly could believe what he was seeing, hope once again filled his heart thing it was really her.

He blinked his eyes only to see it wasn't her but just another Fey.

He felt his heart being crushed, he cursed himself for letting his brain trick him like that and his heart for fooling like that.

"You didn't know it back then that she would be the love of your life and with the two of them  you found love... in the middle of your pain"

Maleficent watched as the Fey flew off as Conall walked toward him.

"I'm asking you to take all of your fury... all of your pain... and not use it. Help us broker peace with the humans"

"Because peace... could be the Dark Fey's final transformation" He told him as she turned to his side. That's when Bora appeared and landed no to far from the two.

"The Moors are our last true nature on earth" He turned to look at Maleficent.

"And yet you named a human as queen" Conall pointed out. (Yeah what were you thinking Maleficent?!)

"A daughter you cared for"

"I have no daughter" Maleficent corrected him, sternly.

He turned around.

"She has chosen her side"

"What about Y/n? Wouldn't she want you to make peace with the humans?" Conall questioned him.

Maleficent knew the answer to that. Of course, he did. He knew Y/n wanted nothing to do with the humans, all she ever wanted was to be with him, in peace no more fighting and they could be together in the Moors, the thought of even start their own family had come to their mind.  But she wasn't there, and that dream had died along with her. Now all the colour that Y/n had added to his world had disappeared.

Maleficent bit his lip, trying not to let his emotions get the best of him.

Conall knew Maleficent need some space and flew away from him so he could speak to Bora.

"I've just heard-"

"From who?" Conall asked already know who it was, he just wanted to play with him, after all, it could be his last time doing so.

Bora growled.

"You already know who Conall. They told us that there's going to be a wedding at the castle in three days. Humans will come from all over" He looked at Conall.

"That's when we attack. We'll kill the king and queen of Ulstead"

"...and their young prince" He said that part loud enough for Maleficent to hear before turning back to Conall, telling the rest of his planed in a deep voice.

"Their kingdom will fall. And the Fey will rise again"
