King Stefan and Queen Leah are horrified and beg the fairies to break the curse. Maleficent turns to leave, but when Queen Leah asks if she's offended, the evil fairy curses the princess, proclaiming that Aurora will grow in grace and beauty, but before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday, she will use her finger to touch the spindle of a spinning wheel and die. Before Merryweather is able to give her blessing, the evil fairy Maleficent appears, only to be told that she was not invited. Flora and Fauna give their gifts of beauty and song, respectively. Among the guests are three fairies, Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather, who have come to bless the child with gifts.
