Chapter 20: Enchanted Dominion

Pith lay in bed, his mind in turmoil. What was he to do about his sister? "Dad… what would you do?"

His eyes closed, and his dreams came alive…

Pith sat on the paopu tree, staring out at the ocean. A familiar voice reached his ears, making his heart leap. "Hey Pith…"

"Dad!?"

Sora came over, smiling, "Hey, son." He grinned widely, "What's going on?"

"Dad!" the boy jumped down, embracing his father.

"Heh… calm down, kiddo." He paused as he heard sobbing. "What is it?"

"I don't know what to do… it's Tria. She-she…"

Sora wrapped his arms around his son. "I know, kiddo. I know what's going on. You need help with this; that's what I'm here for."

The two sat on the tree, Sora removing his son's hat to ruffle the boy's hair. "Dad… give me my hat."

"Ok," He sighed. "Pith, all you can do for your sister is be there. She needs your support. She's scared and angry, both things will make her decisions irrational. Just be there for her."

"Ok… Dad, I know this is just a dream but, thank you…"

Patria leaned against the wall, eyes closed, relaxing as Glacies said goodbye to her brother.

"Now, you be good, and take care of Hinata."

Ignis looked over at the little girl in Sasuke's arms. "Why?"

"Because," his sister grinned. "She's really cute and needs someone to make sure no evil people come after her. Can you do that?"

"Uh huh!"

Ansem the Wise leaned over to his great-great nephew. "Pith, take care of your sister."

"I will…"

The group landed on Enchanted Dominion, right before a large, beautiful castle. A person was walking away from them, towards the palace. The person turned, giving a small gasp.

"Oh…!"

The figure was a girl of sixteen or so, with beautiful brown hair, pinned up by a pink rose. Her dress was a deep violet, with pink and blue accents.

"Hello…" Glacies smiled at the girl. "My name is Keyblade Master Glacies; who are you?"

The girl brushed a lock of brown hair, behind her ear before curtsying. "I'm Princess Rosetta. It's an honor to meet a wielder of a Keyblade. I'm certain my mother and father would absolutely love to see you."

"Sister!" a boy, with hair of sunshine gold, dressed in a white shirt, black pants, black boots, and a blue vest. "Father and Mother are looking for you… wait, who are they?"

"Brother, they are Keyblade wielders; Mother and Father will want to see them!" The girl waved them to follow her, and they did.

As they entered the castle, a beautiful woman, hair like sunshine gold, sat beside a brown-haired man, dressed in red. They both wore brilliant crowns on their heads. The man stood. "Paul, Rosetta, who are these guests?"

"Father," the princess smiled. "These are Keyblade wielders!"

The man looked a little surprised, a smile spreading across his face. "Well then, you are welcome here! I am King Phillip, and this is my wife, Aurora."

The children all bowed, introducing themselves.

Aurora came down to them. "As my husband said, you are all welcome here. Now, the sun is beginning to go down, and we would be honored if you'd join us for supper."

"The honor is ours."

Pith watched his sister closely; they'd scoured the castle for the Keyhole and it was not there. The entire time, Patria acted very docile and controlled, not even speaking about Maleficent once.

"So, where do you think that stupid Keyhole could be?"

"No idea, Brim," Ryô sighed.

Justin stood up. "Well, usually, the Keyhole is in somewhere inconspicuous, but usually significant. We can check the town, but I think we'd have better luck at the woodcutter's cottage or Maleficent's castle."

"I'll go check out Maleficent's place," Patria stood up, heading for the door.

"By yourself?"

"Uh, yea," she rolled her eyes. "I'm just going to sneak around and find the Keyhole; anyone else will just slow me down." With that, she turned, heading for the door.

Pith jumped to his feet. "What's this really about, Sis!?"

"What?"

"You don't want to go to Maleficent's castle to find the Keyhole, you wanna go and find her! You want to take her down, on your own!" He approached her. "We both know what this is really about, and you are going to get yourself into trouble, or even injured. I'm not going to let you do this!"

Patria stood there, silently, before turning around and walking out of the room. Pith went after her, but his twin continued walking. "Go away…"

"Not until you stop!"

They boy had absolutely no time to react, as Patria turned on him, her fist slamming into his nose, knocking him on his backside. Blood streamed from his nostrils as he cried out in pain. The girl leaned over him. "Leave me alone, and, if you want to live, stay out of my way…!"

The girl took off running, not looking back.

Patria summoned her Keyblade as she walked through the dark, morbid hallways of the Forbidden Mountain. The girl glanced around, smirking, as she saw Maleficent's minions cowering from her.

Her steps halted as Diaval stepped from the shadows. "Hello, young lady."

"What do you want?!"

He only bowed, "I was sent to lead you; my lady is expecting you." He turned into a crow, cawing at her to follow.

The girl did so, the bird leading her into the throne room before flying away. Maleficent sat on her throne, smiling wickedly down at the girl. "Ah, welcome, young one."

"Cut the crap! What do you want!?"

"What do you want?" the witch stood. "I know that you want something to do with me."

Patria grit her teeth; Maleficent seemed so calm, so smug, and it made her furious. "You know what I want… I hate you! I hate you for what you've done to my family!"

"Oh, child, you weren't even born when that happened…"

"AND I ALMOST NEVER WAS!" The girl screamed. "You cursed my mother and killed my unborn sibling! Because of you, my twin and I were almost never born! Because of you, my family has struggled emotionally! BECAUSE OF YOU, my mom can't ever celebrate mother's day without slipping into depression at the thought of her lost baby!" She stormed up the stone steps, towards the woman. "Except, she didn't lose a baby, the baby was taken from her. You killed my sibling!"

Maleficent smirked. "You poor child… you have no idea what you're doing…"

"I'm gonna kill you! I'm pretty certain I know what I'm doing."

The witch summoned a meteor, making the girl jump off the dais. "He was right about you, child. The naivety of your family is astounding…"

"What?"

"Oh, child, so angry about something so insignificant." Maleficent laughed. "What is the death of a single child, especially one who hasn't taken their first breath? Why your mother felt so bad about a useless piece of flesh, just proves that she was a stupid as her husband, and you are just as foolish." Her smirk widened as the girl below her, began shaking with fury, but she did not stop. "Though, despite this, we are very alike… the anger you hold within is close to what I had when I first began. Perhaps, with your parents gone, I should take you as my own apprentice… it is the best thing for people… like us…"

"SHUT UP! I HATE YOU! I'M NOTHING LIKE YOU! I'LL DIE BEFORE I WORK WITH YOU! I'LL KILL YOU!" Patria roared, eyes aflame with fury.

Suddenly, her body jerked, a pain welling up in the girl's chest. She screamed, clutching the area over her heart, before falling to her knees.

Her eyes went from fury to absolute terror. "Wh-what did you do to me!?"

"I did nothing…" Maleficent chuckled. "You did this on your own. You became so angry that you broke the seal on your own heart…"

"S-seal?"

The witch stood up. "Yes, he mentioned that he sealed you heart, preventing your mother from sensing what was inside you." She laughed. "Who knew that it would be so easy? He said that all he needed to do is seal your heart and then, pump darkness into you, bit by bit. Now your heart is so full of darkness it's ready to overflow; all it needed was for you to tap into it, and you just did…"

Patria doubled over as the pain in her chest became worse and worse. Someone had been putting darkness inside her? What was going on? "P-please… make it stop…!"

"The darkness is taking you… why would I stop that?" She summoned a dark corridor. "As much as I wish to see you suffer, he told me that you would be too dangerous, and that man has been right, so far…"

Patria watched her vanish into the darkness, before looking down at her shaking hands. "Th-this isn't real… it can't be real…" Her eyes widened as dark wisps rose up from her skin. She felt the cold darkness surrounding her, the hate and rage penetrating every part of her being.

"NO! I DON'T WANT THIS!" She screamed as tendrils of darkness streamed from her, in every direction. She began crying, her tears black, leaving dark streaks across her cheeks. "HELP ME! PLEASE! MAKE IT STOP!"

Her darkness began to pool beneath her and she sank down. Patria gasped, trying to free herself. "NO! HELP ME!" The darkness closed over her face, and everything went dark. In the darkness, a voice hissed in her mind, terrifying her to the very core…

"And now… you belong to me…"

Pith touched his nose; he was glad that Cure spells could fix broken noses, but the dried blood still caked his nostrils.

He approached the forbidden mountain, cautiously. He'd felt darkness growing stronger as he approached. The dark corridors lay abandoned.

The hair on Pith's neck stood up as a blood curdling scream wrenched the air. "Tria…!" He ran through the building; his steps halted as he saw his sister.

The girl was sinking in a pool of darkness, darkness coming from herself. "NO HELP ME!"

Pith looked around, seeing rope laying on the ground. He tied the cord around a pillar and ran toward his sister. By this point, her head was just disappearing beneath the swirling darkness.

"NO! YOU CAN'T HAVE MY SISTER!" He dove into the dark, after her.

The cold blackness clung to the boy as he struggled towards his twin; the girl drifted downward, deeper into the darkness, eyes closed.

The boy reached out, managing to grab her wrist. He pulled her to him, tying the rope around them both. "I won't let the darkness have you!" He pulled himself and his twin back up, towards the light.

Out of the pool of darkness, a hand reached out, grabbing the rope and pulling. Patria and Pith emerged from the inky blackness, just as the darkness faded away.

The girl shuddered as a dark aura covered her. Her trembling stopped as a hand touched hers. "P-p-pith…?"

"I've got you sis…" The boy pulled her close, hugging her to him. "I've got you…"

Patria clutched her twin's shirt before she passed out…

"Wait? What?" Glacies sighed. "Patria lost to Maleficent, again?"

"OH, she's gonna be livid!"

Pith nodded. "Yea, she lost another fight and got hurt. I took her to the gummi ship and I'm gonna go back and talk to her; I'll try to calm her down before you get back to the ship."

"We'll find the Keyhole," Xally nodded. "You take care of your sister."

Pith nodded and allowed the light of the gummi ship to take him upwards. He hurried to his sister's room, where she lay, sweating. Taking up a wet cloth, he wiped her face. "Oh sis, what happened to you…?"

The girl moaned, rolling over in her bed. She opened her eyes, glazed and frightened; her body tensing until her brother's hand slipped into her own.

"Patria… calm down… I'm here." He smiled. "It's ok, sis…"

"P-pith…"

Said boy, smoothed her hair, kindly. "Yea, sis, I'm right here." The girl closed her eyes, gripping her twin's hand. "Tria, I-I want, no, I need you to tell me what happened."

"No… I can't… please don't make me…" Patria stammered.

Pith bit his lip as tears filled his eyes. He couldn't bear seeing his sister like this; the normally proud girl, filled with enough spirit to rival anyone else's, lay broken and fearful before him. Seeing her, in this state, broke his heart.

"Patria, please," the boy clenched his fists. "You're my sister and I just want to help you. I saw what happened… I saw all the darkness coming from you… I saw you get pulled into the dark… I jumped in after you and dragged you out… please, tell me what's happening!"

His sister turned to look at him, a look of true fear and sorrow on her face. "Y-you did…?"

"Please tell me what's going on. I'm scared for you."

Patria closed her eyes as her twin pulled her into a hug. "I'm sorry… I-I hate feeling this way… I hate feeling weak…" her body began to shudder. "Pith, someone… I don't know who, but someone told Maleficent about me. Th-they said that I have a seal on my heart; whoever this person is, th-they've been pumping darkness into my heart…"

"Tria…"

"Th-that's why I'm the way I am. I have so much darkness inside me… if I don't expend some, like when I fight at school, get angry, or even when I am mean to you. If I don't expend some of the darkness, I'll, well… you just saw me explode…" Patria clung to her brother's shirt.

Pith bit his lip, tightening his embrace on the girl. That explained everything: her attitude, her actions, and the way she treated others. She knew that her darkness built up in a certain way and had to account for that; all her actions, they were to control that darkness.

"Tria, I'm so sorry…" He sighed. "Is there anything I can do?"

The older twin lay silent for a moment before whispering. "Just let me die… I'm a dangerous loose cannon; if I were to explode around the others, I could kill one of them… I could kill you. I've tapped into the darkness and there is nothing I can do to stop it."

"No!" Pith pushed Patria into a sitting position, staring into her eyes. "You can fight this! I won't let you loose to the darkness." He smiled, kindly. "I promise, I won't tell the others what I've seen; no one will know about your darkness, and I'll be here to help you control it."

The girl looked downward,with a sad smile. "Look at me… I'm the oldest; I'm supposed to be the one looking after you, my little brother, but look at you, trying to take care of me…"

"We're siblings, it's what we do, we take care of each other…"

"Yea, I guess we do…" Patria close her eyes, hugging her twin back, though the thought of the darkness within her, brought her true terror, but her brother's support gave her an peace that she'd never had before. "So, are you going to tell the others? What about Uncle Ansem or Sasuke?"

The younger twin sighed. "No… we can handle this ourselves. If anyone found out about your darkness…" He closed his eyes. "Don't worry, sis. I won't tell anyone about this, I promise!"

"Thank you… Pith…"

Glacies looked at Pith. "So, she's just exhausted?"

"Yea." The boy nodded with a smile. "The battle really took a toll on her. If there's a world nearby, with a lock piece, that's familiar and calm, we should go there, for her sake."

The Keyblade Master smiled. "Well then, it's fortunate that Xally sensed a lock piece in Neverland."

"That'll be perfect…"

Glacies watched her friend leave; something about his story didn't feel right, but what could he have to lie about?

Kairi opened her eyes to see a gray darkness around her. "Sora? Patria? Pith?"

"Hello, Mom…" the woman looked up to see her oldest child standing before her.

"Patria, what's going on?" She stood up. "Where are we?"

The girl laughed, a dark, frightening laugh. "Oh mom… does it really matter?" Darkness surrounded Patria. "You're gonna die anyways."

"No…"

"Accept it, Princess," came an old voice. "Your daughter belongs to me now."

Kairi turned to the other speaker. "No! It can't be! It can't…!"

"Oh yes," came the voice of Patria. "It can." She held out a hand to her mother, and darkness entrapped the woman.

The woman cried out as the inky blackness covered her. "Why…? Why is this happening…?"

Ladies and gentlemen!

Now you know Patria's dark secret.

Please review!

The group arrives to find that things are not quite as peaceful as they hoped. They will face trials and one of them will have to reveal their deepest secret…

In Neverland!

Supernatural

Getting sick and injured seems to be a part of life some times, if it's the spring cold, or a little paper cut.

However, we do not have to live with disease. God promised in his word that he can heal us, and that so sickness is too powerful for him.

I've heard testimony of God curing people of cancer, blind eyes being healed, even of limbs growing back.

On Monday night, a friend of mine went to a church service; this friend had Celiac disease, which prevented her from eating gluten, or she could die.

That night, a woman, who had never met her before, prayed specifically for her condition, an afterwords, my friend went out and ate mozzarella sticks, for the first time in years.

I watched her eat a pizza, and all weeks she's been going on about how she ate macaroni, or some other food she couldn't eat before.

The only treatment for this disease, by the word of science, is just to live a life eating gluten-free, but my friend has been completely healed by the power of God.

No matter what inflicts your body, whether it be a simple cold, or cancer, God has the power to heal you.

Everyone, I know we've all heard about what happened in Paris; so, I encourage all of you to keep Paris in your prayers.
