Battle of the Forbidden Mountain

For several days now, when I look through the Disney universe, my attention focused on my favorite villain: Maleficent. After reviewing the scenes where she appeared in Sleeping Beauty, the 1959 Disney film, something seems to have awakened within me, something that I kept since my childhood, who knows? Well, this night, I finally dreamed of Maleficent, but this dream was rather dark, hard and violent, much more and did not expect you to a description of a dream in disney mode. The Sleeping Beauty film was rather based on the romantic medieval fantasy with princess and prince charming, well, not my dream.

Maleficent

Me, in the dream

Like the story, my dream began in the castle of King Stefan and Queen Leah. I was in the courtyard, dressed in a black outfit, an outfit that looks almost like those of the Night's Watch, and a sword hanging on my belt. I still had my long hair and my little goatee on the chin. I walked into the throne room, with two other armed men, men of my order because they were dressed in black too, but one of them was my superior and walked before me. As we walked, I looked around me and I saw that the servants were busy removing the decorations of the ceremony that had taken place earlier. King Stefan was sitting on his throne, and out of respect, we bowed down to him. When my superior asked why we came, the King said that during the ceremony in honor of the birth of Princess Aurora, Maleficent had come and decreed that she was angry to be not invited, she launched a curse on Aurora and threatened to destroy all those who try to stop her. The three fairies had the idea to take Aurora to hide her, but for Stefan, it was not enough. For the safety of the kingdom and of his daughter, the king ordered us to assemble an army and attack the fortress of Maleficent, the forbidden mountain. We have no choice and we obey, and to help us, the king and queen sends troops of their own army to complete our ranks.

The Forbidden Mountain

Later, I was on my horse, and came to the forbidden mountain, with the army formed by the different kingdoms. It was cold, the wind blew fiercely and the snow was falling lightly around us. We felt a demonic presence around us, and it seemed to act on the morale of some. But when we arrived at the foot of the forbidden mountain, we were surprised to see a huge army of creatures coming from the depths of the caves and bar our passage to the mountain. The monsters were like those of the disney film, but more horrible and less stupid, with weapons and monstrous armors, roaring and waving, ready to fight. Some had blood coming out of their mouths. There were thousands, and suddenly, the army has started to rush towards us. My superior took his sword and ordered the assault, and we obey. I took my sword, and our troops rushed too. I had a heavy heart, my sword in my hand, but I shouted with all my strength, ready to kill the creatures on my way and reach the mountain. The two armies were clashing against each other in a violent and deadly hit for the first lines of the two armies, and the battle of the forbidden mountain began (that's how I named this moment).

I saw the battle around me. The men in armor, swords and shields in their hands, were fighting against the creatures of hell. The beatings were violent, and the sound of metal and pain or rage cries resounded in the air. The riders on their horses face kind of giant wolves with red eyes that look like Wargs. One of the riders was thrown to the ground and the wolf begins to shred the throat. It was total disorder. Personally, I was in the middle of the battlefield, I dodged the blow of a creature and killed him in the beheading. Black blood spurted from the wound while the body fell to the ground. I parried the blow of some kind of gargoyle, and have pierced him in the abdomen. But the battle was not quite to our advantage, I saw many of my allies being killed by the monsters, more and more numerous. I tried to fight my way to the mountain, while killing the creatures who wanted to try to stop me. But suddenly there was a huge explosion of flames that threw me back and I rolled over several meters. The blast killed several men, but also several monsters. While I was on the ground, half-stunned, I turned my eyes to see what happens. A wall of green flames were formed on both sides and I could not run away.

And there, appearing in a blaze of green flames that appeared magically, appeared Maleficent, holding her scepter in hand. She was furious that her field is attacked, she advanced towards me and started talking to me, menacingly. "Who are you, you who dare challenge me?"

I did not answer, but I watched with an air of defiance. Among the flames, in my battle armor, my face covered with dirt and dust, I took my sword, and gradually resuming my forces, I started to run towards her, amid the walls of flames, clutching my sword in my hand, clenched teeth and determined look. Maleficent did not move and did not seem to feel threatened. Rather, I thought I saw a rather amused look and a smile forming at the corners of her mouth. 

I tried to attack her, but her scepter adorned my sword without any problem, and she hit me in the chest. Maleficent got me back down, but with a quick movement, I threw one of my knives on her. But she was even faster and once again with her scepter, destroyed my dagger. Maleficent sneered, and began to invoke lightning. Lightning knocking near of me, and I jumped on the sides to avoid being killed. Maleficent looked at me with interest, seeing my determination to fight and survive. She also saw my look of anger towards her, and it seemed to please to her. Completely exhausted, I was unable to dodge the last flash that hit me in the chest, and I fell to the ground, injured and suffering terribly. Blood ran from my forehead and I had a burn mark on my armor. Maleficent spread the flames and stepped forward. She knelt and leaned over me, looking at me with interest with a small devilish smile. I did not know what she would do to me. With her sharp nails, she gently rubbed my cheek, and then she spoke to me, but this time with a calmer voice, almost charming to me. "I admire your strength and your courage, young human. But I am the queen of evil ..... However, a queen needs a king ....." And saying this, she looked at me in the eyes. I did not know how to react, but to his way of looking at me, I could almost blushing and her voice seemed more beautiful. Being too weak, I was about to faint, but before that, I saw Maleficent going to two of her monsters, and tell them: "Take this one and bring him into the mountain, without hurt him. I have plans for him. " And the last thing I saw before I wake up, was the creatures who came to take me, and Maleficent smiling at me one last time with a satisfied look.
