Finding You Always

Ill-Boding Patterns

"So this is the infamous Tigerlily?" Yzma asked.

"She's very dangerous...a product of true love only makes the darkness restless! Such light brings an equal amount of darkness!" Blue remarked. Tigerlily shook her head.

"You still are so afraid of your own darkness that you don't realize that it has already consumed you. Casting it out centuries ago didn't rid you of the darkness inside you; it only made you worse.The atrocities you have committed in the name of keeping this supposed darkness at bay tells the real story. You are the real threat," Tigerlily remarked. Blue glared at her.

"There will not be another pair of truest loves...or another product..." Blue hissed, as she looked at her current protege. Yzma let one of her fireballs engulf the sapling and Tigerlily cried out, as it was turned to ash.

"Oops...guess Snow White will never meet her Prince Charming and another product of true love will never thwart my conquests...again," Yzma hissed, as she glared at Tigerlily.

"What are you talking about?" she questioned.

"I mean on the night your parents were murdered, it was me whispering in the Dragon's ear," she revealed. Tigerlily's face went ashen.

"No...it was the Dark One. He was responsible for corrupting the Dragon," she refuted.

"And that Dark One was me," Yzma revealed.

"That's not possible! That Dark One was killed when another assumed the mantle. That's how it works!" Tigerlily refuted.

"Unless you were already immortal when you became the Dark One. I used the fancy moniker of Xanetakos to conceal my true identity. But I've been immortal since I used a dark spell or rather...my counterpart did," Yzma explained.

"You see, in my native land, which is nestled in the Andes Mountains, I was once the darker half of the Inca God, Viracocha. But much like our friend, Blue, here, Viracocha feared his darker side and used a dark spell to separate us," Yzma hissed bitterly.

"And while my better half was still revered by the people, I was quickly labeled as an evil demon that should be shunned," she growled.

"After an unsuccessful attempt to dethrone the Emperor, I was banished from my homeland for all time and sent through a portal created by my other half," she continued.

"That's where I found myself in this land...where I found my true potential as a Sorceress," she finished.

"Why would you take such an evil creature as your protege?" Tigerlily questioned the head fairy.

"Obviously she wasn't truthful about her origins," Blue hissed. Yzma smirked and cackled evilly.

"Why embed yourself with the fairies?" Tigerlily questioned.

"Because I made a mistake the day your parents were murdered and that was letting the product escape and come into her magic," Yzma growled.

"Why? What do I have to do with any of this?" Tigerlily asked.

"Because, my dear sweet girl, the magic from a product of truest love like you can destroy the dark half without destroying the light half. You see, if my counterpart were to die, then I would die. If I am killed while my counterpart lives, then I shall return alive and well...unless I am killed by true love's magic. Only it can destroy the personified darkness, which is what I am," Yzma explained, as she deviously formed a fireball in her palm and tossed it at Tigerlily. The red fairy gasped and used her wand to deflect the attack.
