Sixteen years. Sixteen long years of painstakingly looking for the little brat and she’d been nearly under Maleficent’s nose the entire time. Her minions had paid for their ineptitude and it had turned out perfectly fine in the end. The girl was located, easily manipulated, and practically dead now. Maybe a hundred year long sleep wasn’t as poignant as death by spindle, but it would do as punishment. How the King and Queen had thought slighting her as they had done all those years ago would have gone unnoticed was beyond her. Didn’t they know she had eyes and ears in all the lands? She knew every coming and going, every rise and fall to power. She’d practically instigated a number of them.

Once she’d slept Maleficent had half a mind to find the bumbling three and destroy all manner of goodness that still blazed within them. Twist them about until they were nothing but shells of their former glory for keeping the princess out of her grasp for so long. Destroy their happiness, taunt the young prince some more. She was fairly certain she could fit all that in before lunch. But sleep was required first, something she had sorely missed during all those fruitless nights of searching for the lost girl.

No sooner had she shut her eyes when Diablo’s cries could be heard echoing through the air. She ignored them at first, waiting for the bird to shut up so she could slumber. The cawing only seemed to become more frantic and she burst from her bed, sleep forgotten as she made her way to where the sound was coming from.

Irritation whirled through her as she appeared on top of the tower, ordering Diablo to stop talking. Except he was no longer squawking and as she took in his now stoney appearance she knew he never would again. Rage filled her at the sight of her one true companion and she watched as the prince and the damn fairies made their escape from her stone fortress. She could not lose, not now, not when everything was so close to enacting her revenge.

And then the world changed and she was no longer standing on her stone tower nor could she see the prince and fairies making their escape. The air tasted different, the aura of the world felt strange. A new realm. But how? It didn’t matter in that moment. All that mattered was that she had been denied justice and someone, everyone would pay for that mistake.

Swirling the staff overhead, she conjured up a furious storm. The once sunny sky turned black as night before rain began to pour down. Maleficent let out a terrifying cry, lightning whipping down from the sky and setting fire to whatever it touched. She pointed her staff downward and watched as waves of thorn bushes sprouted up along the city, stopping the metal beasts and covering the streets and buildings with thorns and roses.

She landed in the middle of what looked to be a park, watching the people who had been enjoying the sunny day running from all that was occurring. Their cries of panic were music to her ears and Maleficent smiled as she watched them go, listening to those sounds echoed throughout the city. Maybe she would be able to have a little fun here before finding her way home.

After all it was always so nice to show other realms why they shouldn’t mess with the Mistress of Evil.

Maleficent didn't even bother to glare any longer. His inane chatter wasn't worth her ire or anything as far as she was concerned. The fact he was still yammering away only solidified her initial assessment of him. He was of no consequence, though that didn’t mean she couldn’t gather information from him that would lead somewhere.

“What an awful name you have,” she informed him, smiling that grin that made most around her uncomfortable in an instant. There was nothing sweet about it, reminding many of the look a creature had before it devoured its latest meal whole. She neared him for a moment, circling with her cape billowing in the wind. Her staff she held outright a tad, power crackling from it in case he attempted to near her. “So simple. So baseless. And yet you think you can help?”

She laughed at that, the sound high and without any charm or mirth to it. “And how, pray tell, could a simpleton like you truly help anyone?” Her smile grew at that statement, knowing it would cut deep into the man before her. More deeply than any wounds she could inflict with metal and steel. That was what people seemed to forget nowadays. It was better to cut deeply and let it linger, fester than to end it all in one swift motion.

Honestly. It wasn't as if he'd never heard that before. It wasn't his very first day on the face of the world. He knew his name wasn't exactly common but it was his and he was protective of it. "Yours can't be much better since you still haven't given it to me." He lashed out without thinking, maybe he did have some of his masters anger. Though he did tend to error more on the side of caution when it came to these sorts of things than Robin might have. So he just bit his tongue and frowned. "I can if you let me. I didn't mean what I said." Of course he meant it, but he just didn't really want to be attacked for it. All he wanted was a hot shower and lemonade. Was that really so much to ask for? He'd had a longer day at work today and just wanted to relax. This was very much the opposite of not relaxing.

His first tip that she wasn't exactly sane should have been the cape she wore. Nobody sane wore caps these days. He grit his teeth at that word again. Simple. "There's a place for people that are displaced." He continued after a moment of attempting to regain his composure. Robin had called him simple once. Much knew he wasn't as important as say Robin, or Marian, but he really didn't need the reminder. She pointed that strange weapon in his direction, he drew a sword in defense. He didn't have his shield, the one time he might have really needed it Arrow was making a bed of it at home.

"You don't know me at all. You'd be surprised what I can do." Just because he didn't want to fight, didn't mean he couldn't or wouldn't if it came to it. He was more than capable of it. After all he'd been taught by the best.

“I know enough from the way you lash out in anger at what I say.” She laughed again, thoroughly amused at the situation. “You’re not hard to read. No one truly is, but you. It’s all right there on your face. You think yourself capable, don’t you? But do your friends truly believe you to be so? Or do they hide their true thoughts from you? Don’t trust you to know their inner selves, hmm?” And even if it wasn’t so, picking at him was entirely too much fun. Toying with people, making them doubt themselves and endure pain was a hobby. Something to wile away the time while working to take over the world. How she’d missed it in the last few years with her focus on finding the damn girl.

“A place for the displaced? I don’t think they’d want me there, child.” For though she may have looked young, she was old. Not as old as some with her power, but old enough to have seen many kingdoms rise and fall. Usually through her own making. “Nor do I plan to be here long.”

His sword was withdrawn now, and she hardly cared for what he thought he might be able to do with it. But she rose a bit in the air just same. “How do I get home? Or who might know more on how to do so?” Maleficent didn’t think the man before her would have many answers. Or if he did, they wouldn’t be the most accurate.

It was true he wore his heart on his sleeve, but he didn't think of it as a weakness until now. Until this woman was laughing in his face. He'd never met anyone like her before, even the Sheriff's cruel words hadn't cut him as hers had. He kept his eyes on her at all times with that weapon pointed in his direction. "I am capable." He hissed through his teeth and gripped at the sword hilt a little tighter. He wouldn't give her the satisfaction of seeing his anger. His confusion rising back to the surface.

"Google it wench." He seethed as he fished for the dagger in his pocket and hurled it at her with an impressive speed. His aim was actually pretty accurate thanks to Robin teaching him since they were kids. The burning bush nearby cast a glow on his face that made him turn from it. The heat was warm but he wanted nothing to do with it. The rain continued and Much only watched her ascend numbly.

The backpack he'd brought from home dropping to the soaked grass. The wood was ruined anyway. He wasn't that young. She was just ancient.

Maleficent altered her appearance, quickly becoming tiny green wisps of the wind. It wasn’t her preferred form, but she couldn’t be harmed while in this one either. She whirled around the man briefly, taunting him with his inability to do anything to her before taking off into the sky. She hoped it would stew in him for awhile, the words she had spoken. Whirl about, fester into an infection of his soul so that doubts would creep in against those he held dear. And if not yet, then maybe there would be time to do so before she departed. Breaking people was always so much fun.

Thunder cracked and lightning flashed across the sky, the rain continuing to downpour as she whirled higher into the sky to seek out more information of this strange new realm that she was in.
