Mimsy hated to admit it, but she was afraid of this woman. She had been around powerful people before, mainly her mother, but Madam Mim was not nearly so cool and collected as this lady. With her mother, you could always see the buildup, know when she was preparing to do something. But the Enchantress was different. Frighteningly different.

The girl met the sorceress’ eyes for a moment, but avoided them, focusing instead on a tree branch above her. She swatted the branch gently, and it bent away and then back, where she caught it again and repeated. The motion soothed her.

“I don’t want to learn magic,” Swat, “I told you,” Catch. “ I already have magic,” Swat. “I just want to-” The branch returned to her hand, but at the very moment it did, it withered and shriveled until it was nothing but a fine black dust. Instinctively, she backed away, bringing her hands towards her body, “Control it.” The young witch looked at the sorceress, a hint of fear in her eyes.

Rhiannon was accustomed to fear, her dark look and occasional intensity drawing that reaction even before the Beast and his evil prison idea. So seeing that familiar spark in Mimsy’s eyes didn’t shock her, the sorceress keeping her distance for the moment as they regarded each other.

The branch crumbling was a surprise, Mimsy’s magic more volatile and potentially dangerous than she’d expected. But it had been hidden for a long time, and now she didn’t know how to give it a healthy outlet, or understand it. Carefully, Rhiannon moved closer to the girl and the shadow she hid in, speaking gently. “Even those of us born with magic must learn magic Mimsy. Control, accessing it, and being able to use it to your will is all a part of learning, and it’s a lifelong process. You’ll be able to control your magic, hopefully within the next month or so if you still wish to train with me, but you’ll always learn new things about magic as you go along. It is a force that can be used for death, or life.” Reaching out, she touched the branch the girl had destroyed and it grew back, alive and restored to it’s original health. Looking at Mimsy, she held out a hand, offering it in friendship to the girl and to show she wasn’t afraid of her power. “I’ll teach you. And I won’t hurt you. You’ve nothing to fear from me.”

“How do you do that though? Like, how do you meet people? I always get nervous around girls, because they can say no or worse, gossip about you to their friends.”

Rhiannon was a bit surprised, expecting the young man who’d approached her so boldly to do it all the time. But then caught herself, knowing assumptions were often wrong. “Well, it’ll always be a little of a gamble. Rejection will come, and those that gossip, well...didn’t deserve your time to begin with. But you did alright with me. You’re handsome as well, so that will help.”

“Justice, duty, yeah cool cool,” Mimsy immediately recognized these as AK buzzwords and zoned her out, focusing instead on keeping in the shadows of the trees and out of the direct sunlight. The ‘darkness in your heart’ bit made her a little uncomfortable. At home, and on the Isle, that was something to be pursued, and something she certainly would have bragged about. But for now she’d play by this woman’s rules, “Your turf, your rules, fine,” she consented, fidgeting at the fact that she noticed her discomfort, “Fine fine, and I’m fine. I’m also not your dear.”

Rhiannon looked at the girl sharply, not liking the easy dismissal. Or how evasive she was. Looking at her heart Rhiannon saw darkness, but only that which was normal. Her soul wasn’t stained black like the others she’d punished, which was why the girl wasn’t being tested and potentially cursed. Stopping in the middle of a clearing, looking at the girl in the shadows, She didn’t respond to anything Mimsy had said, instead asking. “Why do you want to learn magic?”

“It’s why I tend to stick to myself on most occasions.”

“As long as you’re happy that’s all that matters. But if your staying alone is making you lonely you should get out, interact. Find yourself someone your age to flirt and fall in love with.”

“You just can’t help helping me, hmm?” Mimsy asked with a hint of gloating in her tone, though in reality she was flattered. And also scared. One look and she could tell this woman held immense power, even without having known her as the Enchantress. She nodded and followed her, “You and I may be okay with magic, but most others aren’t. Take Fairy Goo-mother for example. She outlawed it!” As they approached the garden, she slowed and glanced almost timidly up at the sky.

“It’s a part of the duty I have to the world. Teach others how to use their magic as well as bring justice for those who can’t do it themselves.” Rhiannon nodded solemnly, wanting the girl to know she was serious. “But I will stop if I sense you’re dishonest or have darkness in your heart.” She was solemn, needing her to know how serious this was. “Fairy godmother and the rest have been taught to fear us by their coward of a king.” Pausing when she did, Rhiannon studied her. “Are you alright dear?”

“Uhhhh how long have you been standing there”

“Ah.” Rhiannon turned around as he stepped out, the enchantress smirking a bit. “Not long. I had no idea you were so indisposed. Simply saying hello.”

#assuming they'd know each other from the Isle. :D #Hope that's alright! If not I'll gladly change it

“i don’t really see much of a point of using my magic. i mean, i won;t die for not using them. i don’t think it’s a good idea to get a lot of people around auradon to use magic.” she said.

“And why shouldn’t people use magic if they want to?”

caliigc‌:

“yes i have magic, but i see no reason to use it. i mean most people in auradon are mortal and magic is what got so many people trapped on the isle.

@rhiannon-enchanting

Rhiannon lifted an eyebrow. “Magic isn’t what people got put on the Isle. It was the so called heroes deciding their side of the story was the right one.”

Mimsy crossed her arms over each other. She tried to avoid making promises if she could help it; they took away control. “Well how else was I supposed to get you here alone?” She demanded with a small huff, “Magic isn’t really something you can just openly discuss around here!” Still, something about the woman’s tone eased her worries. She could and, better yet, would help her.

“You should have asked me. I do not teach dishonest, tricksters if I can help it. You will need to be honest with me going forward.” Rhiannon decided to be patient, not wanting to scare the girl when she needed help. “I’m gathering that, but we’ll all need to be more comfortable with magic here. Everyone should be okay with it. But come, let’s go outside in one of the gardens. Indoors isn’t the best for figuring out abilities.”

“More or less. As you might imagine, no matter if all you’ve done is good, others will be wary of those who wield more power than them on a technical level. This especially applies to men who may or may not have had a less than pleasant encounter with a magical woman in their youth.” she explained with a teasing chuckle, giving a pointed look to the younger woman for her to fill in the blanks. “Therefore, installing magic-based curriculum is certainly an excellent idea, but one that might be met with societal resistance. Whether we like it or not, non-magical people are the ones who tend to wield the most power politically, so some kissing of the feet might be in order to get what we need. I do think putting classes into place are excellent, though they will need to be after school hours, as the curriculum has been set for the year.” Sitting back in her chair, Fairy Godmother fidgeted with her fingers as she thought of some more ideas. “I do grow concerned about those who may have yet to discover their powers. We need to do more research and see if these individuals do experience a sort of ‘magical puberty’. I want to be able to head things off at the pass so that a student doesn’t accidentally light their dorm on fire because they woke up from a nightmare and suddenly had powers or something.”

Rhiannon’s gaze darkened at the mention of Adam, the woman replying easily. “It especially applies to idiots who didn’t learn the message that magic was attempting to teach them. Seems I found the one man who couldn’t change the darkness in his heart.” She returned godmother’s pointed look before adding. “And none of that excuse’s how this kingdom has handled and treated it’s magic users.” She listened to her as she continued to explain how things might have to work, and she nodded. “After school as an extracurricular would likely be best anyways. I wouldn’t want it to be forced. And even if there’s some pushback, I’ll open my own teaching service if I must. These kids need to learn and be able to express themselves.” Rhiannon was surprised by the other woman only now thinking of magic in her students, and impressed the children who did have powers had repressed them so deeply. “It can be traced through bloodline to some extent, but magic does tend to just appear. Triggered by trauma or a strong emotion. I’m unsure if it could ever be narrowed down to a specific time. And it would take years. I’m sure the VK’s would’ve had theirs earlier but with the barrier it’ll be impossible to know.”

Mimsy crossed her arms over each other. She tried to avoid making promises if she could help it; they took away control. “Well how else was I supposed to get you here alone?” She demanded with a small huff, “Magic isn’t really something you can just openly discuss around here!” Still, something about the woman’s tone eased her worries. She could and, better yet, would help her.

“You were supposed to be honest and ask if I would help you learn. Do you understand me when I say I will not teach you if you are dishonest with me? I curse liars for less, so speak now if you intend to lie your way through my tutoring.” Rhiannon held her gaze, wanting the girl to understand she would not tolerate being played with.

“I saw a few people who could have been her, who’s to say they weren’t?” Mimsy countered, rather weakly, then turned seriously towards the enchantress, “I want you to help me. I think I might have magic, but I can’t control it.”

Rhiannon’s rage dimmed slightly at her request, knowing she wouldn’t refuse her. The sorceress would always help a child with magic, a part of her duty to the world. “Why did you not just ask child? I can promise you now, if you lie to me ever again, you will have none of my aid. Do you understand?”

perfectlymcd‌:

“Wrong!” Mimsy replied quickly, and not without a hint of victory in her tone, “I told you I saw her in the library; I did. Or someone who may have been her, I’m not sure. But obviously she’s not here any longer. Which is perfect, because it’s not the library I need, it’s a secluded place.”

“You lied. You don’t know my daughter, therefore you don’t know if you even ever saw her here. Now. What do you want?”

evildreamsandmuses‌:

“People can be complete idiots honestly.”

“That they can.”

Mimsy nodded thoughtfully, “Yeah, guess you get a free pass on that ride. And that Isle stays there, just ‘cause he’s the king, until his son goes all ‘noble’ on him!” She sighed, “Yeah, but I’d hate the bloody stuff anyways even if I hadn’t. Okay so here’s the scoop. One: I don’t know your daughter. Okay, so I thought I knew Gabs and then I didn’t then I did and now I don’t, so it’s not my fault. Okay now ya gotta lemme finish the second. Second: I brought you here cause…and it pains me to say this, it really hurts my ego, understand; I need your help.”

“So you lied to me.” Rhiannon tensed, her easy going manner gone now that she wasn’t seeing her daughter and this child was making excuses. “What do you need my help for in a library.”

auradonsgodmother‌:

“I…I mean, I am, for situations when it’s needed. I’ve operated independent of it for so long, that I guess I’ve kinda forgotten how to live with it.” she replied softly, her entire body coiling in shame. She knew she shouldn’t be ashamed or afraid, but there was a sizable part of her that just wasn’t used to using her magic so openly anymore. She hadn’t performed a sizable miracle since Cinderella. The other’s offer brought a teary smile to the older woman’s face and she couldn’t help but embrace the other tightly. “Thank you, dear.” she whispered as she seemingly clung to the other for dear life before returning to her chair. “Well, umm, I do think offering classes is an e-excellent start. Tell me, what are you planning on teaching?”

“Well, as long as your living in a way that makes you happy. But you shouldn’t feel any shame or fear over your power. Did this all start with the barrier? The magic, the Isle, is it all wrapped up into one?” Rhiannon asked curiously, not understanding the logic. When she came in for a hug the sorceress was rather startled, not expecting even Fairy Godmother to hug a villain. But she did return it, holding the woman close for a moment and smiling softly. “Of course. You’ve always had my respect and Admiration fairy. I’m happy to help.” When the woman sat back down, Rhiannon moved back to her seat, nodding. “I’m not entirely sure. Whatever students I do get, I’ll test their knowledge and go from there. I expect most of the VK’s will have an academic understanding of magic, but no experience. And I expect the Ak’s will have a very limited understanding, if any come to the class.”

gaston nodded agreeing “if anything it is a big adjustment for all of us since the barrier came down. some less than others” he shook his head before saying “not sure i’d say isabella is doing fine she’s avoiding me. gaston the third. he enjoys it i guess” he rarely talks to his children.

“Yeah, that’s an understatement. It’s like they think we should all just be grateful to be free and live life like nothing happened.” Rhiannon shook her hea before smiling a bit. “I’m glad to hear it.”
