Magical Abilities
Teleportation: Travel to any Realm (the less magic the realm, the longer it takes, and the more it wears on the dragon's body. It is the price of travel. A trip to earth, would take decades for a dragon.
Shapeshifting
Dragons have three forms: Dragon Form, Human Form, and Dragon Fly Form. (Maleficent is not a dragon, she is a ShapeShifter that can shift into a dragon form from a human form, hence why her abilities are different)
In dragon Form, dragons are immensely powerful - fire-breathing creatures with scales more powerful than steel. Essentially an animal version of Superman without X-Ray Vision or being faster than the speed of light (although they are quite fast). In dragon Form they are naturally immune to Potioncraft, and some forms of Witch-craft. Dragons possess Super Strength equal to their own size, stature, and natural scales with the benefit of being able to lift twice their own weight.
In Human form, dragons possess Super agility (They are as strong as an average soldier, but they are Ninja-fast,)
They possess heightened senses (Their hearing range and pitch range is doubled, they possess night-vision, and can spot double the range and clarity of an average human)
In Dragon-Fly Form, dragons possess invisibility (translucence). They have exceptional vision and hearing. They can move double a regular dragonfly reaching 60-70 mph. They have incredibly tough skin and steely wings, making it hard to be killed in a predator's mouth or stomach. Typically, a dragon-fly will fly out of a predator's stomach if needed, leaving a bleeding hole in its wake. The down-side to Dragon-fly form is that if a dragon is trapped or caught - such as a spider's web or even a glass jar, if the dragon cannot escape within five minutes the dragon will immediately shut down. It will pass out and paralyze. If it is not released within a week its body will eat itself alive and the dragon will die.
Pheremonal Magic: Phera-Dragons secrete a pheromone that deeply attracts mates to them in whichever form they currently are in. Sometimes, it attracts mates so much that they believe they are in love and will forgive the dragon any flaws (Those who crave unhealthy amounts of affection most commonly). The smell causes stimulation affects (Heart rate, sweat, etc.) as well as serotonin/dopamine release. Effect intensity varies from person to person, dragon to dragon. In general, those with personalities that have little to low mating desire have low intensity, while those who crave love and attention have high intensity affects.
They are descended from Kiyohime, the first Phera-Dragon. The breed further descends like so:
Pure phera/pure Chromatic = Pheramatic Dragon
Pheramatic dragon/ Ethereal Dragon = Prism Dragon
Prism Dragon/ Black Dragon = Wraith Dragon
Wraith Dragon/Pheramatic Dragon = Demon Dragon
Demon Dragon/ Frost Wyrm = Incubus Dragon
Incubus Dragon/Sorceress Dragon = Chaos Dragon (Lily)
Mating as dragons can produce a full dragon egg. Mating as humans will produce a sorcerer of various kinds (Elsa is descended from a human ice-dragon mating within her family in Arundel) Mating as dragon-fly will produce a powerful dragon-fly that watches over dragon treasure hordes while its parent sleeps, lives a very long life, and comes to the dragon's aid whenever he is in dragon-fly form, to protect him/her against natural predators.
Witchcraft - While a dragon does not itself PRACTICE witchcraft, it has adapted to human magic over the years and different breeds. Here are some main points.
Dragons are immune to fire magic (Fireballs, incineration spells, explosions, etc.)
Dragons cannot be controlled by having their heart ripped out HOWEVER it will force them into human form for as long as the witch holds their heart.
Immune to being flung around by magicians.
Some dragons, such as Ice dragons, are immune to Fire and Ice Spells. They can shoot rays of ice as easily as spit fire. However, that is not Vezoth.
While a dragon can lose its ability to morph by a sorcery, it can also be morphed by the owner of its heart.
The magic of holding a dragon heart is the price of having stolen what is most precious in the heart of its holder.

Before First Curse
Vezoth is the son of Nezba and Velheron.
Nezba, his mother, is a frostwyrm. She is an immortal dragon that is capable of living after she sheds her mortal coil within her first year of life. Often appearing as flying bones of a dragon, there is an energy, called soul energy that holds her together, a very light blue. Frostwyrms, are oddly enough very docile by nature. They cannot shapeshift and must remain as dragons. Their only defense is a massive frost breath that freezes solid anything it touches. Frostwyrms only use this in defense. Another interesting note about frostwyrms: if you force a ripped dragon's heart into a Frostwyrm's chest, the frostwyrm will serve its owner as a slave, and will attack in offense if ordered. It is then turned killable, as a mortal.
Only dragons with demonic or undead energy can mate with a frostwyrm and produce an egg and ONLY in the Underworld.
His father is a demon dragon, by the name of Velheron. Demon Dragons are the offspring of one of nature's most beautiful creations (the Pheramatic Dragon) and one of nature's darkest and deadliest creations (the Wraith Dragon, or Black Dragon). Demon Dragons were hunted and destroyed by both human and dragon alike. Demon dragons were despised and feared. Demon dragons are judged by their wraith dragon parents and the evil and fear the wraith dragon's incited. Even the Demon Dragon name demeaned and shunned them. Truthfully, a demon dragon may have turned out okay. For the wraith dragon, after mating, would flee from mother and egg, moving onto another victim. The wraith dragon was always a male when it mated with a pheramatic dragon. They found a place to survive. They were able to travel to a place called purgatory, an energy shift between the underworld and the enchanted kingdoms. There, they were able to survive. It is exploring, that led Velheron to the underworld, where he met the most beautiful creature he'd ever encountered - and mated with her.
When Vezoth turned thirty, Hades fed his father to Cerberus and explained to the young dragon that his father should have known better than to create a monstrosity like Vezoth in HIS kingdom. Hades then explained that he isn't sure what to do with Vezoth. Nezba he can control - Hades told him women are always controllable, laughing slightly - 'She's just going to float around and do what women do best - decorate the underworld.' Now, Velheron hails from the land of the living and had no business mating in his underworld. 'Because he was born in the land of the living, it was easy to end his existence.'
'But you, Vezoth - you were born in Purgatory. A child between life and death. I have no hold over you. I can see that you want to kill me Vezoth. I invite you to try.'
And they did - they battled for the next hundred fifty years. But in the end, Hades could not destroy Vezoth, nor Vezoth lay anything that could be called permanent damage on Hades. They decided to live and let live. Vezoth eventually forgave Hades for killing his father - and in need of a father began to learn from Hades.
One day, Hades and Vezoth had a disagreement about the land of the living. Hades is a proponent of doing evil to souls that have unfinished business. While Vezoth blames his father's death now upon the women of the living. He decided that his grandmother was weak, letting herself be overtaken by a wraith dragon. He believes he should kill all the women living. Hades finally says, 'If you're going to go, I can't stop you. You know that. But you should know - women do have their uses. He then explained all the lecherous things that Vezoth was wont to do. Vezoth ripped through the skies of the underworld through purgatory and into the skies over the Enchanted Forest, as Hades allowed a slow smile to overtake his visage.
’Dear children,’ said a poor man to his four sons, ’I have nothing to give you; you must go out into the wide world and try your luck. Begin by learning some craft or another, and see how you can get on.’ So the four brothers took their walking-sticks in their hands, and their little bundles on their shoulders, and after bidding their father goodbye, went all out at the gate together. When they had got on some way they came to four crossways, each leading to a different country. Then the eldest said, ’Here we must part; but this day four years we will come back to this spot, and in the meantime each must try what he can do for himself.’
So each brother went his way; and as the eldest was hastening on a man met him, and asked him where he was going, and what he wanted. ’I am going to try my luck in the world, and should like to begin by learning some art or trade,’ answered he. ’Then,’ said the man, ’go with me, and I will teach you to become the cunningest thief that ever was.’ ’No,’ said the other, ’that is not an honest calling, and what can one look to earn by it in the end but the gallows?’ ’Oh!’ said the man, ’you need not fear the gallows; for I will only teach you to steal what will be fair game: I meddle with nothing but what no one else can get or care anything about, and where no one can find you out.’ So the young man agreed to follow his trade, and he soon showed himself so clever, that nothing could escape him that he had once set his mind upon.
The second brother also met a man, who, when he found out what he was setting out upon, asked him what craft he meant to follow. ’I do not know yet,’ said he. ’Then come with me, and be a star-gazer. It is a noble art, for nothing can be hidden from you, when once you understand the stars.’ The plan pleased him much, and he soon became such a skilful star-gazer, that when he had served out his time, and wanted to leave his master, he gave him a glass, and said, ’With this you can see all that is passing in the sky and on earth, and nothing can be hidden from you.’
The third brother met a huntsman, who took him with him, and taught him so well all that belonged to hunting, that he became very clever in the craft of the woods; and when he left his master he gave him a bow, and said, ’Whatever you shoot at with this bow you will be sure to hit.’
The youngest brother likewise met a man who asked him what he wished to do. ’Would not you like,’ said he, ’to be a tailor?’ ’Oh, no!’ said the young man; ’sitting cross-legged from morning to night, working backwards and forwards with a needle and goose, will never suit me.’ ’Oh!’ answered the man, ’that is not my sort of tailoring; come with me, and you will learn quite another kind of craft from that.’ Not knowing what better to do, he came into the plan, and learnt tailoring from the beginning; and when he left his master, he gave him a needle, and said, ’You can sew anything with this, be it as soft as an egg or as hard as steel; and the joint will be so fine that no seam will be seen.’
After the space of four years, at the time agreed upon, the four brothers met at the four cross-roads; and having welcomed each other, set off towards their father’s home, where they told him all that had happened to them, and how each had learned some craft.
Then, one day, as they were sitting before the house under a very high tree, the father said, ’I should like to try what each of you can do in this way.’ So he looked up, and said to the second son, ’At the top of this tree there is a chaffinch’s nest; tell me how many eggs there are in it.’ The star-gazer took his glass, looked up, and said, ’Five.’ ’Now,’ said the father to the eldest son, ’take away the eggs without letting the bird that is sitting upon them and hatching them know anything of what you are doing.’ So the cunning thief climbed up the tree, and brought away to his father the five eggs from under the bird; and it never saw or felt what he was doing, but kept sitting on at its ease. Then the father took the eggs, and put one on each corner of the table, and the fifth in the middle, and said to the huntsman, ’Cut all the eggs in two pieces at one shot.’ The huntsman took up his bow, and at one shot struck all the five eggs as his father wished.
’Now comes your turn,’ said he to the young tailor; ’sew the eggs and the young birds in them together again, so neatly that the shot shall have done them no harm.’ Then the tailor took his needle, and sewed the eggs as he was told; and when he had done, the thief was sent to take them back to the nest, and put them under the bird without its knowing it. Then she went on sitting, and hatched them: and in a few days they crawled out, and had only a little red streak across their necks, where the tailor had sewn them together.
’Well done, sons!’ said the old man; ’you have made good use of your time, and learnt something worth the knowing; but I am sure I do not know which ought to have the prize. Oh, that a time might soon come for you to turn your skill to some account!’
Not long after this there was a great bustle in the country; for the king’s daughter, young Princess Snow, had been carried off by a mighty dragon the likes of which none had ever seen. And the kingdom mourned over their loss day and night, for she was beloved. It was also not easy, for they had lost their king just five years before and the Queen, Regina, made it known that whoever brought her back to her should have her for a wife.
The truth is, Regina had been trying to get revenge on Snow White for killing Daniel, the man she loved. So it was that Regina had heard tell by her magic mirror that Vezoth was an evil dragon given to womanizing and treating women as property. Regina knew she herself would not form a good bond with Vezoth if he hated women, and therefore took the heart of a townsman and sent him forth to make friends with the dragon. Speaking through him, Regina and Vezoth became friends, ridiculing women together. Then, through Regina, the man told the dragon of a young princess, who will be the most beautiful girl in all the realms by the time she is eighteen. The man suggests to Vezoth that he take her as his and keep her until she is 18 and can be claimed. Vezoth loves this idea and terrorizes the Kingdom, looking for Snow.
Then the four brothers said to each other, ’Here is a chance for us; let us try what we can do.’ And they agreed to see whether they could not set the princess free. ’I will soon find out where she is, however,’ said the star-gazer, as he looked through his glass; and he soon cried out, ’I see her afar off, sitting upon a rock in the sea, and I can spy the dragon close by, guarding her.’ Then he went to the king, and asked for a ship for himself and his brothers; and they sailed together over the sea, till they came to the right place. There they found the princess sitting, as the star-gazer had said, on the rock; and the dragon was lying asleep, with his head upon her lap. ’I dare not shoot at him,’ said the huntsman, ’for I should kill the beautiful young lady also.’ ’Then I will try my skill,’ said the thief, and went and stole her away from under the dragon, so quietly and gently that the beast did not know it, but went on snoring.
Then away they hastened with her full of joy in their boat towards the ship; but soon came the dragon roaring behind them through the air; for he awoke and missed the princess. But when he got over the boat, and wanted to pounce upon them and carry off the princess, the huntsman took up his bow and shot him straight between his eyes, which blurred his vision and sent him unconscious to the bottom of the ocean. They were still not safe; for he was such a great beast that in his plunge he overset the boat, and they had to swim in the open sea upon a few planks. So the tailor took his needle, and with a few large stitches put some of the planks together; and he sat down upon these, and sailed about and gathered up all pieces of the boat; and then tacked them together so quickly that the boat was soon ready, and they then reached the ship and got home safe.
When they had brought home Princess Snow to her Evil Step-mother Regina, there was great rejoicing; and he said to the four brothers, ’One of you shall marry her, but you must settle amongst yourselves which it is to be.’ Then there arose a quarrel between them; and the star-gazer said, ’If I had not found the princess out, all your skill would have been of no use; therefore she ought to be mine.’ ’Your seeing her would have been of no use,’ said the thief, ’if I had not taken her away from the dragon; therefore she ought to be mine.’ ’No, she is mine,’ said the huntsman; ’for if I had not killed the dragon, he would, after all, have torn you and the princess into pieces.’ ’And if I had not sewn the boat together again,’ said the tailor, ’you would all have been drowned, therefore she is mine.’ Then the king put in a word, and said, ’Each of you is right; and as all cannot have the young lady, the best way is for neither of you to have her: for the truth is, there is somebody she is likely destined to like a great deal better. But to make up for your loss, I will give each of you, as a reward for his skill, half a kingdom.’ So the brothers agreed that this plan would be much better than either quarrelling or marrying a lady who had no mind to have them. And the king then gave to each half a kingdom, as he had said; and they lived very happily the rest of their days, and took good care of their father; and somebody took better care of the young lady, than to let either the dragon or one of the craftsmen have her again. His name, was Prince Charming.
THE LION KING
Immediately before Vezoth was struck between the eyes, his rage and fury had secreted a large amount of his pheromones. Unbeknownst to him, the sorceress Maleficent was spanning her wings, up to no good, not too far away. Seeing the dragon get attacked out of the corner of her eye, Maleficent raced towards the scene. Overwhelmed between the murderous intention of the humans towards this magnificent and handsome dragon, and her sudden and overwhelming desire to save him, she decided the latter and plunged herself into the ocean. Pulling Vezoth out, she flew him to shore, collapsing over him weakly. Vezoth awoke and Maleficent was overcome with desire she had never experienced before in dragon form. Together, they began to mate.
When they finished Vezoth stood up, roared to the sky, and took to the air. He wanted to fly away from Maleficent. She noticed what he was doing and took off after him. At first, it was because she didn't dare want her beloved to leave her. Then, it was because the farther he flew, the less feelings she felt towards him. And she knew she had been tricked - her senses had been fooled. Being even more angry - she pursued, but soon could not find him - for he had gone to purgatory.
Dragon hatching takes six years in comparison with a nine month human pregnancy. It so happens that Maleficent was in her ninth month when her egg began calling out for its father and Vezoth returned. Immediately Maleficent and Vezoth argued. Words of venom and poisonous body language built like steam in a teapot. They began kissing as humans - and this time - because something truly was building between them. She began to think it love. He convinced himself it was lust, like usual.
And soon, Vezoth not only mated with Maleficent. He mated with her maids, maidens, kin, gardener, and one time a dragonfly that frequently visited the window by their bedroom.
This continued until he was caught red-handed. The effect of Vezoth's pheromone faded for Maleficent, becoming less and less effective. Maleficent pretended not to notice for the rest of the day. When she called her lover to the bedroom, Maleficent ripped out Vezoth's heart.
And Vezoth could no longer change from his human form. But that wasn't all - Maleficent could not bring herself to even try to crush the heart of Vezoth (Though it wouldn't have worked as it happens), the father of her child. So, while he pleaded, Maleficent told him, "You are a fool, Vezoth! You had the heart of the most powerful sorceress in all the kingdoms - and you crushed it. Now, I cannot seem to will myself to do the same to you - but that is because of our daughter - not my feelings. You may never be a good father to this child, but you will protect us at night while I sleep - and think about being a good and loving father while I am awake. Maybe, one day, you will be fit to be my child's father - if I let you." She cast a curse on Vezoth and sent him into the Infinite Forest. By night he would change into a lion. By day he was a human.
Frustrated, Vezoth set out a perimeter along the infinite forest. It was there he encountered the Meerkat and Warthog Timon and Pumbaa. Vezoth asked why he shouldn't just kill them. He was given the answer by Timon, who explained bravely that they were on their way to tell Mufasa they found Prince Taka and he's in trouble! Timon says if Vezoth comes with them he will be generously rewarded. Vezoth asked Timon as a show of good faith to take him to Taka. As they approached the Elephant Graveyard, Vezoth roared a mighty roar. A few hyenas flew from the scene in fear. Timon and Pumbaa turned to run too, but Vezoth chased them down and ate them whole. Finding Taka, Vezoth talked with him and agreed to help the young prince and release him from the Hyena's prison. Taka told Vezoth he felt jealous of his older brother Mufasa, and that is why he ran from the pridelands.
Vezoth absently observed Taka's mannerisms, his posture. The droll of his voice. And when they finished speaking, Vezoth did release Taka from the prison. And as they ascended from the Elephant Graveyard, he murdered Taka. Before success, Taka was able to cut him in his eye, earning his name as Scar amongst the hyenas.
The hyenas watched the fight and cheered Scar at the end, bowing to him.
Scar ruled the night and for two years helped rule the hyenas, creating a loyalty and unity that had never occurred in hyena history. In the Pridelands, The birth of King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi's son Simba sparks the interest of Scar, who knows Simba is now the heir to the throne, ruining his plans of attacking the Pridelands and leaving them with no ruler. After Simba has grown into a young cub, Mufasa gives him a tour of the Pride Lands, teaching him the responsibilities of being a king and the circle of life.
Scar comes up with a plan and pretends to be the Prince Taka returned. While Mufasa is overjoyed, Scar is not the Taka he remembers. The jealousy had seemingly rotted his brother's soul. Mufasa could only hope he would find his way back to the love of his family. 'They call me Scar, now, brother.' He drolled to Mufasa and Sarabi emphatically.
Later that day, Scar tricks Simba and his best friend Nala into exploring the forbidden elephant graveyard, despite the protests of Mufasa's Singing Soaring Lark Zazu. At the graveyard, three spotted hyenas named Shenzi, Banzai and Ed attack the cubs before Mufasa, alerted by Zazu, rescues them and forgives Simba for his actions. That night, the hyenas, who are allied with Scar, plot with him to kill Mufasa and Simba.
The next day Scar lures Simba to a gorge and tells him to wait there while he gets Mufasa. On Scar's orders, the hyenas stampede a large herd of wildebeest into the gorge. Mufasa rescues Simba, but as Mufasa tries to climb up the gorge's walls, Scar throws him back into the stampede, where he is trampled to death. After Simba finds Mufasa's body, Scar convinces him he was responsible for his father's death and advises Simba to flee the kingdom. As Simba leaves, Scar orders Shenzi, Banzai and Ed to kill the cub, but Simba escapes. That night, Scar announces to the pride that both Mufasa and Simba were killed in the stampede and steps forward as the new king, allowing a pack of hyenas to live in the Pride Lands.
Scar proceeds to let the pridelands to turn to ruin. He executes all the male lions and forces the females into slavery, hunting and gathering for him and his hyenas. He especially likes Sarabi, coming night after night to beat her and have his way.
Now, before the curse was cast by the evil Queen Regina, Ellie lived with her father and two elder sisters in Hamelin. Ellie's father was a wealthy business man, who loved his children very dearly. Each time he went away for business he asked his darling daughters what they would like him to bring back. While her elder sisters, Cassidy and Felicity, always asked for precious gems and metals, Ellie always asked for a singing soaring lark. Her father easily procured the items the elder two girls requests, he never found the Lark his youngest daughter wished for. So he always brought her whatever he could find that he thought she might enjoy. Finally after many years of the same request he asked his now teenage daughter, Dearest Ellie, why do you desire a singing soaring lark? Why not precious gems and fine dresses like your elder sisters? The young woman simply answered The lark sings so beautifully Father. Her song is lovelier than that of any other bird in The Enchanted Forest. Her song is so beautiful because she soars freely among the skies. The man though if he knew why desired the Lark he could find something that would truly please her.
As her sixteenth birthday approached the man was due for another trip. He asked each of his daughters what she wanted. Cassidy desired a string of the whitest pearls, while Felicity wanted a pair of glittering diamond earrings. When he asked Ellie her answer was the same, a singing soaring lark. He tried to persuade her with something else but the youth was unmoved.
On the return journey he was forced to deviate from his usual route, and as he traveled he saw it among the trees; the singing soaring Lark. There! The Lark I must have it! Ellie will be so pleased. And so he tried to catch the songbird for his youngest daughter. Unfortunately, it led him to where Scar was feasting on a gazelle. Scar leaped out of the tree snarling, 'I will devour anyone who tries harm my Starla!' Ellie's father apologized and pleaded for his life, assuming that Starla was the name of the Singing Lark. He offered large sums of money to the Lion. It just so happens that Scar was rather full, and so he listened to Ellie's father. When he explained he was after the singing soaring lark, Scar replied 'I am Scar, the King of pridelands. It is your lucky day, for I crave human women, and you have told me of your youngest daughter. I shall let you live, and shall hunt the bird for you. In exchange, you will bring your daughter to me. I promise no harm unless she struggles.' Scar grinned, but to emphasize his point, his massive paw climbed onto the man's shoulder. His claws came out, barely scraping the surface of the shaking man's skin. Hastily the man agreed forgetting temporarily that Ellie always ran to meet him as soon as she knew he was home. He would soon dread the conversation that would follow. Now for entire way home he fretted, and hoped that he could just avoid the lion for he did not want to lose his beautiful young daughter to such a beast.
Having spied her father from the tower Ellie was already waiting for him when he arrived. At the sight of the Lark the young woman was beside herself with joy, and even though he had finally found the one thing that she had always desired her father could only weep. 'Yes Ellie, I have bought the little bird. But at a grave price. I must send you to the lion I bought it from. I'm scared that he will tear you in pieces and devour you.' Ellie bravely consoled her father, 'Do not cry Father, I understand that you must keep your promise. I have been practicing with my blade and my bow. Tomorrow morning I will go and slay the lion. I promise you, that I will return to you safely.' Her father spent the evening drawing his youngest daughter a map, and she prepared for her journey. Then with the dawn Ellie went fearlessly out into the forest. No one knew that the lion, was a none other than Vezoth, the first dragon of his kind. Nobody knew Maleficent had cursed him to be a lion by night, and human by day.
It was dusk by the time Ellie had reached the spot where her father had bought the singing, soaring lark. As she approached the tree the Lion leaped out with a loud roar. With a steady hand Ellie lifted her blade, 'My father has fulfilled his promise to you. But I won't let you eat me!' and before the Lion could respond Ellie struck at the beast. Jumping out of the way the lion snarled, and a fight ensued. It didn't last very long because the sun was rising above the horizon, and as soon as it did the magic took over. As the lion lunged at Ellie he transformed back into a human form. 'You're a man?' Ellie exclaimed lowering her sword. The lion explained the curse partly to Ellie as he lead her to the outskirts of pride rock. In Scar's version, Maleficent was an evil, conniving witch who enchanted Scar to be her lover and when Scar found out what she was doing he had tried to run. As punishment, she forsake him and never spoke with him again, cursing him to be a lion. Due to the deal her father had made Ellie couldn't go home, so she lived in a cave at Pride Rock with the King and during the night, when he would go rule his kingdom, she would clean and cook and hunt with her bow.
One evening, Ellie met a young man by the name of Will Scarlett. Her kind heart gave way to the starving man and she cooked him a good meal in her cave. In his company was a man named Roland. He was quiet, contemplative. Ellie decided by daybreak she had become very fond of Roland. She explained that come daybreak her husband would be home. She told them they should be very polite because he could have a foul temper. But even Ellie was surprised with how gentle Scar was when he found her guests. He actually bonded more with Will than he did with Roland. By the end of the day, after numerous shots of rum, Will and Scar walked to the maw of the cave and there, Scar told him of the gold Maleficent kept it the Forbidden Fortress walls. But more importantly, he told of the largest treasure, the magic looking glass. The looking glass had the ability to open a portal to Wonderland. Will's eyes lit up, and Vezoth knew he had captured Will's attention.
Ellie had been in love nearly two years and so they were married in a very private ceremony. Far from attracting the eyes of Maleficent. When the news reached Ellie's father and sisters they were relieved that Ellie still lived, and were thrilled that she was doing so well.Soon after the wedding Ellie wished to visit her family, and she pleaded with her husband Please you must come with me. My sisters and father would love to met you. The lion prince claimed that it was too dangerous for him, “I can't, my beloved, if the night comes and I am not protecting the Pridelands in the infinite forest, I will go in a frenzy, killing all in my sight until I return here. It is too risky.' Saddened Ellie pleaded with him, 'We can take the witch! I am tired of her bullying you!'
Vezoth told Ellie then, that there was a way to break his curse. He knew that Maleficent would be taking their egg to the Forbidden Mountains, the natural height was necessary for a successful birth of their child. He also knew that she would need to be in a cave protected, for in order to maintain her shapeshifting and and warm the egg with light fire – she would use a lot of energy and so could not be exposed in the open. There was only six months left of protecting the egg before it hatched. Vezoth told her the witch would be gone and to find Will Scarlet and let him know.
She did so and returned to him. A week later Will Scarlet, Robin Hood, Roland, and the Merry Men invaded Maleficent's tower and took the gold. Will Scarlet took the magic looking glass for him and his love. And Elle snuck behind them and found the vault containing her Scar's heart. Elle snuck behind them the whole way back to her lion. She even heard Maleficent warning as they happily cheered their victory around a campfire. Spoken after a strong gust of wind: “To the thieves who took from me what is not theirs. Keep the gold if you must. It is nothing more than awful – from the bowels of the earth. But return the other treasures you have stolen, for while its power is alluring, it will only bring you MISERY. Will Scarlet had assumed she spoke of the magic looking glass. But in fact, Maleficent believed they had stolen Vezoth's heart.
When Ellie returned, she excitedly placed Vezoth's heart back in his chest. She watched in awe and horror as he grew into a full dragon. Before Vezoth took flight he spoke to her, 'For seven years must I fly about the world with the doves. You must find me. To do this, you will need a feather of the purest phoenix that you washed carefully in the blood of Merlin. And in seven years we will be together again. With that her dragon-husband flew away and Ellie fell in tears. The first few months were the hardest, Ellie had lived an easy life never wanting for anything, now as she followed her love she endured hardships that she never experienced before. She was determined to find the phoenix so she can be reunited with her love. She missed his smell, his power. Finally after as the seven year mark approached the trail ended, no matter where she looked no feather or Merlin could be found. Determined to find him Ellie continued her search but, the Evil Queen had cast her curse sending the residents of the enchanted forest while she searched there, to Storybrook Maine.
With Scar gone, Simba returns and ascends to the top of Pride Rock and takes over the kingdom as the rain falls again. The next few years became what is known in the Pridelands as the Hyena Wars. Sometime later, with Pride Rock restored to its former glory, Simba looks down happily at his kingdom with Nala, Timon, and Pumbaa by his side; Rafiki presents Simba and Nala's newborn cub to the inhabitants of the Pride Lands, and the "circle of life" continues. But Simba becomes obsessed with getting his revenge on Scar once Zazu alerted him of Scar's secret dragon (news told to him by none other than Ellie's Singing Soaring Lark). He vows to find a way to kill Scar, and avenge his mother, his father, his uncle, and his kingdom.
Ryan Marlow
Vezoth's daughter called to him. Consulting with Hades, he decides he will find his way to earth, the land with little magic. He spent a long time in purgatory, concentrating. Days turned to years, but of course in purgatory time is meaningless, an advantage of being an Incubus Dragon is the ability to travel to Purgatory. However, the purgatory he chose was a plane shift within the enchanted forest. So it happened that only six years had passed by the time he arrived on earth. And although the curse affected the people in the living realm, it did affect those in Purgatory as well, albeit much differently and distorted. Time and planes shifted as he entered earth.
When Vezoth opened his eyes, he was Ryan Marlow, a bouncer at a Gentleman's Club in Downtown Boston. Ryan Marlow's memory was slightly altered as well. He was a marine who deserted his service during battle in the desert and managed to change his identity to Ryan Marlow. He had left enough visual for the other men to assume he had been killed.
Out of the system he was able to morph his fingerprints with science, create a new passport, register a new social security number when he paid the right people. In fact, he was on paper, on facebook, and on camera by all general appearances Ryan Marlow - and he was quite proud of himself.
Matter of fact, Ryan Marlow was so clever, his old self - Curtis Casey - had managed to write to his wife while out in the desert:
Cailey,
My dearest love, I do not know if I will ever make it back to your side. I fear every day these terrorists will get the best of me. I do not mean to worry you. But I do only so that you take this letter very serious. If it wasn't, I would just e-mail it.
I want you to begin wiring all the money I make out here to Ryan Marlow. He is my business partner. You remember? The one that couldn't make it to our wedding. We've been close my whole life - but he is a high powered businessman. Again, I wouldn't ask you, if this wasn't incredibly important. But there are certain accounts and investments and charities and accounting that he takes care of me that I prefer to remain private. Please, could you do that for me?
If anything WERE to happen to me, the government would give you checks for the rest of your life. I know that you will be taken care of, my love. I only ask that you put 10% of those checks in the account for Ryan - and only if you want and it wouldn't be too hard - 5% of what you make to Ryan.
Enough business stuff. I miss your body, babe. I miss the way you sing me to sleep. Some days, I can hear you between the explosions. Sometimes, instead of the awful smell, I imagine your perfume, and it is only a *little* less puke-worthy.
Seriously, I'm just trying to make you giggle a little. I love to think of you smiling. Be well - don't forget to do that for me. And as always, if this is my last letter - know that you are the love of my life and every moment with you is the best of my life.
Yours,
Curtis
P.S. I love you!
And so it was that Curtis checked his account. Over the last six years, with compound interest he had earned over two hundred thousand dollars. Opening his eyes from his reverie, he looked around at the girls in the club and grinned. "Best decision ever."
He stayed in Boston, womanizing for the next seven years. He then moved to Miami to do the same thing, but went to school and upgraded his job to an airline supervisor for Delta. There, amidst several employee affairs that started as borderline sexual harrassment cases, Ryan embezzled five hundred thousand dollars from his employer. The plan was perfect, the only thing he hadn't accounted for was Serena Faye. Serena was his first 'love' at the airline. She found out what he was doing, and so bitter from his sleeping around, she reported him to the authorities. He was taken to court and posted bail. Worried now, he fled the state to Minnesota (although he felt he was just going wherever he pointed on the map).
Now, Emma was called in from Boston as a Bail Bondsperson working for the Greater Boston firm for they hoped he was returning to Boston. Using online dating to continue his dirty habit, Ryan was located on OKCupid by Miss Emma Swan.
