Finally~ Done with updating super fast. This chapter was really hard to make because I needed to plan on how the meeting would go, but it was worth it. Anyways, enjoy the chapter while it lasts!


The four walked for what it seemed like an hour. Every ten minutes, Miki would ask wether they were there or not, because they've been walking grassy fields and tres for hours.

"Are we there yet?" Miki yet again asked for what it seemed like the millionth time today. This earned annoyed groans from her friends.

"Does it look like we know?" Nikki said.

Miki shrugged. "Sorry, I just forgot that you weren't from this world, Nikki," she lied, earning a dead panned look from Nikki,

"Don't worry girls, we are almost there," Howl assured, raising his hand over his head to look over the distance. "Just hang on for a while."

The girls shrugged it off and then continue walking, and Nikki was surprised when Miki didn't complain about wether where were they or anything related to that. The hills went steeper the longer they walked, and more trees surrounded them.

Just when Miki and Nikki thought they will never reach the castle, Howl called out to them. "We've made it!" he said.

Nikki and Miki went closer the the end of the hill to see Kenna's Castle. The castle was every little girl's dream of being a princess. It had glorious sparkling blue skin, with intersecting towers and it was the most beautiful landmark imaginable. The flag was place on the pole of the largest tower. The flag was the color of the sky and it had the Ghibli logo on it, that being Totoro.

"Nana would flip out seeing this," Miki said.

Nikki faced Howl. "Have you and Sophie been here before?" she asked.

Howl grabbed Sophie's hand. "We've been here a lot, because Kenna regarded me as the greatest wizard in the Ghibli world," he boasted.

Sophie chuckled. "Children would often ask for spells to fill their determination," she said.

The four walked to the castle, and the ground seemed soft. Then came a silver path that lead to the doors of the castle. "Reminds me of the yellow brick road," Nikki muttered.

They reached the door, and Howl and Sophie turned to them. Miki and Nikki brought out the spell chant. They were ready.

Spell of Invisibility, let us be unseen

Now no one will sense us where we've been

Nikki finished the last word, magic sparkles surrounded herself and Miki. They felt warmth surround them and then closed their eyes. When they opened, they could still see there selves visible.

"Are you sure the invisibility spell works?" Nikki asked, looking at every limb of her body.

Howl laughed. "You'll see, because Sophie and I can only see you with that spell," he said. "Plus, no one can hear you except for us. But when you move something, they will think it's you."

He opened the door and they found themselves in a hallway. The room was big and round. Each hall lead to another room or another hall. Signs hung above them so that people won't get lost.

The four walked upstairs to were the supposed meeting was. They eventually reached spiral stairs and ended up on the third floor, which was the tallest tower of the castle, judging from the height from the view of the window to Nikki and Miki.

Howl and Sophie opened the door to the meeting room, which made both girls cringed. The meeting room was big and blue, surrounded by a fireplace from the other end of the room and a long table. Nausicaa was sitting at the right side of the table patting the fox squirrel Teto.

Chihiro sat beside her, talking with Haku. San and Ashitaka sat at the other side as well, and at the very end was Kenna herself. She was tall and beautiful. She had curly hazel hair covered in a golden crown, and fair complexion. She had a perfect face, dazzling with blue eyes. She held a wand, and wore a turquoise gown sparkling.

"Howl, Sophie, I'm glad you could make it," Kenna greeted them.

Sophie and Howl bowed. "Important meetings can't be missed, now do they?" Howl teased, and Sophie giggled.

Kenna gestured to the two seats beside Ashitaka. "You two sit with San and Ashitaka," she instructed.

Howl sat beside Ashitaka and Sophie sat beside Howl. Nikki nudged Miki. "Look! It's San again, and this time she's with Ashitaka," she said.

"And I can't believe Miyazaki's successful characters are in front of our eyes!" Miki said.

They wanted to pinch themselves, but they couldn't, because it was real in front of them. The characters of Miyazaki's most successful movies were in front of their very eyes, and it was every fan's dream to meet these people in real life.

Miki gestured to two other chairs at the other end of the table near the fireplace. Miki and Nikki walked to the chairs, and they accidentally made a sound of the scrape of the chair, they froze.

Kenna got up and inspected the room. "What is that?" she asked. "And why did the chairs move? I swore it was fixed in place."

Sophie had to save the girls' cover. "Um...Howl's magic messes with chairs sometimes on rare occasions," she lied.

Kenna eyed Sophie, and sat down. Nikki and Miki sighed with relief. They quietly sat down and just kept the chairs the way it was now.

Kenna cleared her throat. "Things have been going very terrible since the appearance of Kalura, and I've heard that she's beginning to attack the main directions of the land," she began. "Nausicaa, did Kenna attack you first?"

Nausicaa shook her head. "The Valley's plants and crops have been poisoned, and that's all that was necessary," she reported.

Miki faced Nikki. "That's terrible," she said.

Chihiro went next. "Haku and I were walking around when spirits ran away from the bathhouse," she reported. "Black slime covered half of the town, and we didn't know what to do."

Kenna put her hand over her heart. "Dear god," she said. "Does Kalura have no shame at what she doing to the precious creations?"

San shook her head. "No shame is what I'm doing to rip that woman's skin out of her skeleton," she said with rage, but Ashitaka placed his hand on her shoulder to calm her down.

Ashitaka faced Kenna. "We haven't received reports of attacks or we didn't witness them yet," he reported.

Kenna turned to Howl and Sophie. The young woman cleared her throat. "I was attacked a few days ago but I escaped," she reported.

Kenna frowned sadly. "I suppose all of you didn't have any physical attacks to your landmarks?" she asked.

They all shook their heads. Kenna closed her eyes. "I'm afraid that we had to take this crisis," she said. "Kalura will do anything to achieve great power, and for the first time, I think that we may have to face the consequences ourselves."

Miki and Nikki looked at the room in utter shock. Was she saying its hopeless to defeat the evil enchantress?

Suddenly, an uncomfortable sounding wind filled the room and blew out the fire. The wind formed a tall figure in front of the table, and it formed to Kalura herself. She looked mischievous, and extremely evil. She had pale skin compared to Snow White and yellow eyes, with long black raven hair flowing and a dark purple robe around her.

Nikki and Miki hugged each other in protection. She was there, in front of the leaders of the directions. Enraged, San lunged towards Kalura, growling in a wolf manner and swiping her hands at her. Howl and Ashitaka had to hold her back.

Kalura laughed. "My, what a tacky meeting this is," she said, looking around.

Miki tried to lunge at her, but Nikki held her back. "Nothing is tacky with you around," Nausicaa snapped,

Kalura turned to her and put her finger under Nausicaa's chin, raising it. "Princess of the Valley of the Wind, I never imagined you would snap under the most powerful person I am," she teased, and let go.

Kenna stood up to her. "What are you doing here, Kalura?" she demanded.

Kalura smirked. "Why if it isn't the ruler of the Ghibli world," she said, approaching her. "Is something bothering you? Do you need anything that can satisfy your cause?"

"I believe this is not time to give in to your little games," Kenna snapped.

Taking note of this, Kalura squinted and walked around a circle around her, closely examining her. "Perhaps you don't want to share something that just makes the people worried as much as you? What a noble ruler you are," she said.

Kenna stayed silent, keeping her calm and demeanor behavior.

Kalura pointed her scepter under Kenna's chin. "Your shade is not as equal as mine,"she said.

Not tolerating anymore of this nonsense, San attempted to lunge at Kalura again, but Howl and Haku tried to hold her back. Kalura just laughed at this attempt. "I'll pull you apart limb from limb if you do anything to my forest, you monster!" San screamed.

A menacing smile took over Kalura's lips. "Relax, i haven't even done anything yet," she said.

Kenna glared at her. "For the last time, what is it that you seek?" she asked. "If it's to satisfy the world, then we are willing to do it."

Kalura smirked evily. This was the opportunity that she's been waiting for. She walked to the front.

"There's one thing I ask of you," Kalura started. "Since one by one I'm slowly destroying the landmarks, I don't want to take long since you are all so protective of your lands; I am demanding that you should willingly surrender your directions and landmarks to my hands."

The entire room gasped in shock, including Nikki and Miki. "Never," Sophie bravely stood up against the evil enchantress.

Nikki and Miki looked at her and exchanged looks. What was she doing?

Kalura squinted at her. "Are you not panicked or worried about your land, Sophie?" she said, circling her. "After what I did to you?"

Sophie kept her brave look. "I may not consider myself strong, but we are strong if we are even strong to do what it right to save our world," she said.

The room was astounded by Sophie's bravery. Nikki grabbed Miki's arm. "I'm glad that Sophie is really brave," she said.

Kalura faced the people. "If that's the way you wanted," she said. She kept her stoic look, but you could tell she's enraged by the speed of the flowing hair and her burning eyes.

Kenna stood up. "You may think you can take over this world for all you want, but I want to say something that would just make you think it's foolish but it will all come depending on destiny."

Kalura crossed her arms. "Go ahead," she groaned.

Kenna closed her eyes and placed her hands above the floor, concentrating. Turquoise aura surrounded her, and her hands glowed.

For years Kalura has been plotting

And now the enchantress is back, destroying and igniting

Chaos, havoc everywhere here

The reign of the evil enchantress is almost near

Six faiths from beyond here will cross paths with this one

It will be what's needed to be done

Defeating the enchantress at last

And restoring the Ghibli world in peace, like its past

She stopped glowing and the aura disappeared as she opened her eyes. The room looked surprised at this prophecy, while Kalura just gloated. Nikki and Miki looked at each other. Was she talking about them and their friends?

Kalura looked raged. "So be it," she said.

She raised her arm, and a lightning struck in the room. A large hourglass was placed with dark purple sand.

"Time is precious to your beloved homes," Kalura threatened. "Fail to surrender, and you'll all watch me destroy you beloved landmarks for good!"

She clapped her hands and disappeared. The rulers looked at each other hopelessly, while Nikki and Miki looked pale. It was obvious that she believed the prophecy, but the answer she had to give was an hourglass to indicate the time left before what was made of art was ruined.

For the first time in life, the rulers believed its hopeless to defeat the greatest threat among them in decades.
