 * Regina "trades" sleeping curse with Maleficient to get back the Dark Curse
 * Regina reminds Maleficent that she failed at defeating Briar Rose.
 * Maleficent decides to go after Aurora.
 * But she first turns Phillip into the Yaoguai because she doesn't want true love's kiss ruining her revenge again.

This all would have happened within a year of the casting of the Dark Curse Actually, if anything.... Prince Phillip was tranformed into the Yaoguai, when Maleficent traded the Sleeping Curse to Regina. It was implied, that this was long before Aurora was cursed. Remember, Grumpy was still known as Dreamy.... and Roland Hood is, currently, four years old.
