"I am afraid that our eyes are bigger than our stomachs, and that we have more curiosity than understanding. We grasp at everything, but we catch nothing except wind." Maleficent would know the tangy sweet textures of love, weather the bitter sharp flavour of fear but she would osculate the silky smoothness that was greed. Dark fairytale AU.
The reign of peace and tranquillity ends as a shadowy figure awakens a hungry, murderous ghoul into the Moors. Darkness engulfs them causing blaming from man to fairy for the killings, splitting the two kingdoms. A celestial being discovers the panic and resurrects a mysterious knight with inhuman skills to challenge the fiend. Will the peace be restored? Or will hate consume all?
The end of the world is exactly what everyone thought it would be: a living hell. For Diaval, after having lost everything, hell may be housing a single angel who may need more saving than him.
The neighboring kingdoms of Nydia and Calid have gone to war, and the former requests the assistance of the Moors. Maleficent sends Diaval to spy on the distant land. But when he fails to return, it falls on her to seek out her most loyal servant and closest friend, and she has to come to terms with some of the feelings she harbors toward him. Maleval.
