Maleficent
1
Let us tell an old story anew,
and we will see how well you know it.
Once upon a time,
there were two kingdoms
that were the worst of neighbors.
So vast was the discord between them
that it was said only a great hero
or a terrible villain
might bring them together.
In one kingdom
lived folk like you and me,
with a vain and greedy king
to rule over them.
They were forever discontent,
and envious of the wealth
and beauty of their neighbors.
For in the other kingdom, the Moors,
and wonderful creature.
And they needed
neither king nor queen,
but trusted in one another.
In a great tree
lived one such spirit.
You might take her for a girl,
but she was not just any girl.
She was a fairy.
There you go.
And her name
was Maleficent.
Good morning, Mr. Chanterelle!
I love your cap!
No. No, don't do it!
You missed me!
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
Lovely work, girls!
What's all the fuss about?
The border guards have discov...
Why do you get to tell her?
I want to tell her!
I want to!
There are rules, Flittle.
I tell this time, you tell next time.
No, you told last time,
so I should tell this time,
and Thistlewit next time.
Tell me what?
Fine!
Thank you.
Maleficent, the border guard...
a human thief at the pool of jewels.
I'm sorry.
She's always in a hurry,
with her big wings.
Humans, here.
I hope there's not another war.
I'm not afraid.
Besides,
I have never seen a human up close.
Come out!
No. They mean to kill me.
And besides, they're hideous to look at.
That's extremely rude.
Don't listen to him, Balthazar.
You're classically handsome.
It's not right to steal,
but we don't kill people for it.
Come out.
Come out this instant!
Are you fully grown?
No.
I believe he's just a boy.
And you're just a girl.
I think.
Who are you?
I'm called Stefan.
Who are you?
I'm Maleficent.
Yes, right.
You have to give it back.
Give what back?
If I knew you would throw it away,
I would have kept it.
I didn't throw it away.
I delivered it home,
as I'm going to do for you.
Someday, you know, I'll live there.
In the castle.
Where do you live now?
In a barn.
So your parents are farmers, then?
My parents are dead.
Mine, too.
We'll see each other again.
You really shouldn't
come back here, you know.
It's not safe.
And if I made that choice,
if I came back, would you be here?
Perhaps.
- What's wrong?
- Your ring.
Iron burns fairies.
I'm sorry.
I like your wings.
Maleficent thought of how
Stefan cast away his ring,
he who had so little in the world,
so that their hands might touch again,
and her heart was moved.
Thus did the young thief
who had hoped to steal a jewel...
Maleficent!
...steal something far more precious.
Maleficent?
Maleficent!
After all these weeks,
look who came back.
So, what do you do for fun?
Stefan and Maleficent became
the most unlikely of friends.
And for a time it seemed as if,
in them at least,
the old hatred between men and fairies
had been forgotten.
As it will, friendship slowly
turned into something else.
And on her 16th birthday,
Stefan gave Maleficent a gift.
He told her it was true love's kiss.
But it was not to be.
As the years passed, Stefan's ambition
pulled him away from Maleficent,
and towards the temptations
of the human kingdom.
While Maleficent,
the strongest of the fairies,
rose to become
the protector of the Moors.
Maleficent often wandered alone
and sometimes wondered
