What he could sense from the sleeping girl was Light, and it was so similar to what he had felt from Ven before. This was Enchanted Dominion.

“Her heart is filled with light—not the slightest touch of darkness. Just the kind of heart I need.” A woman addressed him and emerged from the cover of darkness, cloaked in a black robe.

Oh, so does that mean Ven’s heart was full of light, too? Mine sure isn’t like that.

I turned to her and asked, “For what?”

“Seven of the purest hearts, each overflowing with light... When brought together, they grant the power to rule all worlds,” she said.

Her goal was the worlds themselves. And she had darkness all around her—she was the complete opposite of the sleeping girl.

“In your heart, there is darkness just waiting to be awakened,” she said. She gave an eerie laugh.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about—”

“Do not bother resisting. I have power over sleep.”

The woman—Maleficent—raised her staff, and before I could even try to fight it, I fell into a deep sleep.

What happened after that, I have no idea.
