Eric sat next to Maleficent at the fire, feeling her presence. Of all the stories he has heard of the fairy, he didn't think one would be a mother as well as act like one with a good heart. She didn't look dangerous, nor was she a threat. Such people fear of the fairies as enchanted beings like placing a curse? MMaleficent didn't look like that at all. Nor did get son. "I heard about the Moors", he spoke up to her. "Im very sorry", he said in an apologetic tone. "Its alright", she said softly without looking away from the raven-haired fae. "Our home was a land of magic and wonder. I was its protector once. A guardian. But then, one man came and took that away from me", the fairy said sadly. Eric had a feeling that it was Thor. "Loki used to love the man. In my eyes, they were more than just friends. Until that man betrayed us. Killed me for greed and left Loki with nothing. That was the day he would never experience love again", she finished her story and then finally broke her gaze from Loki before turning her head a little with her gaze to the ground. "My son deserves better, Huntsman", she began. "He is not one to fit for a place of darkness. Can you perhaps lead to light again?", she asked him. Eric swallowed before thinking about it. "I will. I'll do it for you. And him", he responded with Maleficent's hand being gently placed on his hand that was in his lap in thanks. Eric and Maleficent then turned their gaze back to Loki as he was dancing with Gus. The Huntsman made a small smile upon his face as he watched the fae dance.
