The air was warm when Maleficent awoke, her body sore as she sat up. Frowning, she glanced over to her discarded clothes; confused as to how they got there.

Covering herself, she was about to stand up when she noticed something was anchoring her down.

Her eyes widened in surprised when falling on Diaval's nude form, resting under her but keeping her in place with his legs.

With one look at his body all the events from last night came rushing back; causing her to skin to warm as her face and neck flushed red.

"Morning."

A soft voice spoke, cutting off her thinking as she turned in Diaval's direction.

He was smiling up after her, his eyes holding all the love and amusement she found herself feeling when looking upon him in return.

Maleficent couldn't help but smile.

Laying her body down over his, she pressed a soft kiss to his lips; closing her eyes as she savored the taste of his mouth.

Diaval smiled against her lips, his arms coming up to wrap around her back and holding her in place.

"If all my mornings could be spent like this, I would be a man whose life was complete."

"Too bad you're not just a man."

Maleficent laughed, pulling back and resting her chin on his chest.

Raising her hands, she began tracing her long fingers over his scars, following the trails as they led all over his body.

Diaval's only response was a playful grin, his eyes alive as he watched her movements.

"Though," He began, pulling himself up onto his elbows.

"I don't imagine we'll always be able to live in this peace, things have never worked like that."

He finished, frowning as he stared at their surroundings.

"Don't say that."

Maleficent scowled, raising her fingers to trace his lips.

"There is no more evil."

She added after a few minutes of silence.

"Do not lie to me, Maleficent. There can be no good without an evil."

Diaval chuckled darkly, eyes betraying his doubtful thoughts as they locked on hers.

"Then I will stop it - whatever this evil is. I don't want to give up what we have. I've had to deal with the pain of loss for far too long. And even after getting back the things I did lose, the ache is still there; slowly mending."

Diaval was silent at this, knowing things weren't ever easy.

"Let's stop this dreary talk. If there is an evil to come, then let us spend our few days of peace without any worries."

Maleficent smiled, pulling herself off of Diaval to stand and go and grab her clothes. Slipping them back on, she brushed her hair over one shoulder; the long, dark locks cascading down to her lower back.

Diaval returned her smile, if only a half one, before he picked himself off the ground and joined her. The dark fabric of his robes slid over his skin like silk, offering him comfort where his muscles ached.

"You know, I didn't expect to be this sore."

He spoke, glancing up at Maleficent and flashing her a grin.

"Oh, hush."

She mumbled, blushing as she stretched her arms; hoping to loosen her own aches and sores.

Diaval just chuckled, accepting her hand when she extended it in offering.

The two then walked offer into the Moors, content as they absorbed the happiness and just goodness of it all.

If you just took one glance at everything, you'd expect it to be like a fairy tale ending. Thinking the evil was over, that there would be no more.

But despite this being a fairy tale, there would be no happy ending, and the evil they spoke of wasn't one as simply as a human's greed.

It was a darker, more malevolent evil that was sure to consume them all.

Yet, they had no clue of what was to come. And perhaps, that was the best because when they prepared to fight, it would be a lost cause. They could not beat this.

Not even Maleficent herself.

This isn't really a chapter just something I typed up so you would know what to expect for the upcoming chapters. I will be doing the second idea, where the events of what happened after chapter one will being taking place. I haven't decided on the face of evil yet, but I do have the means for their power already prepared.
I have returned on home so the chapters will not be a fast in coming as I had hoped, maybe even shorter, but I will keep the Maleficent/Diaval ship alive. Even make it more desirable if that is what you wish.
Thank you for the reviews, favorites, and follows! :3
