Crystal: It's finally SPRING BREAK for me!

(Dagger comes flying pass Crystal and she looks to see Blair.)

Crystal: Blair, what are you doing?

Blair: You haven't been working on my stories.

Crystal: There's a perfectly good reason, Blair. And now that its spring break I can work on your story. I even bought the episodes to do your episode.

Blair:... Okay.

Anna: That was close.

Crystal: Yep, well to the Disclaimers!

Chapter 5: Enchanted Domain

We just kept flying for some time and before I knew it another world was closing in; the Enchanted Domain. Unlike the last two worlds, I had mixed feelings about this place. I want to go there yet I didn't at the same time. There isn't anything really bad about the world; it's just the fact that Maleficent will lie to Ven about Terra willingly taking Princess Aurora's heart. Terra truly didn't mean to hurt anyone; he was just possessed, so it was really Maleficent's fault.

"Hey Anna, do you think Terra is on that world?"

"Would you still go if he wasn't there but someone was in trouble?" I asked. One of the princesses of heart is in trouble so it's our duty to make thing right.

"Well yeah." Ven said and I nodded. Ventus truly has a kind heart. It was a silent agreement that we'd go to the world and check things out. We landed inside the empty castle, its people locked in a deep sleep till it's princess awakens.

"Still no sign of Terra." Ven said as we walked down a short hallway. There wasn't anywhere else to go except a wooden door to our left. "Wanna check it out?"

"Sure." I nodded and we opened the heavy doors. It was a pretty bedroom but it seemed very lonely and to our left was a bed but it was already occupied. It was Aurora, sleeping like the dead thanks to the curse placed on her by Maleficent. Ven took a step closer to examine her and see if she was alright but it was then that we realized that we weren't the only ones in the room.

"Stop, you two get away from her!" Ven and I jumped and turned to see the three good fairies, Flora, Forna, and Merrywhether, looking at us with anger in their eyes. Oh great, here we go again.

"We're really sorry. We didn't mean to intrude." I said honestly. Really, I don't like barging into other people's rooms without permission.

"Yeah, it's just; I've never seen anyone so beautiful." Ven said and I was dying to shrug at this. Looking at her closely, she really was very pretty but really I like Cinderella better.

"Who are you two?" Flora asked floating to us.

"I'm Ventus, but you can call me Ven."

"And I'm Anna; it's nice to meet you." I said politely as Flora circled us, examining us closely.

"Oh you don't seem bad, dears." Forna said finally losing her guarded look. "I'm certain the both of you have pure hearts just like our precious Aurora."

"But how did she get like this?" I asked as we looked to the three fairies.

"Long ago Maleficent cursed her. Now she's stolen her heart." Flora said sadly. That caused me to think of a few things but with the situation at hand, I'll put it in the back of my mind for now.

"Hm... Well then, why don't we get it back for her?" Ven suggested.

"Yeah, I'm in." I said nodding.

"That's impossible, dears." Forna said sadly with no hope. "Maleficent's home is at the Forbidden Mountain. It's not safe."

"We're not afraid." Ven pointed out as I nodded.

"He's right and we can't leave Aurora like this for much longer. Who knows what'll happen if she's without her heart for too long." I said looking at the fairies pleadingly. "We can do this, just believe in us. Together, we can get her heart back!" The fairies thought for a moment, scared and worried but their love for Aurora was much stronger than their fear.

"You know, you both are absolutely right." Flora said now determined to save her precious princess. "The Forbidden Mountain is through the forest. Come along- follow us. After all, we wouldn't want the two of you to get lost." This was one of the very few times I've truly respected a character; they loved her so much to face their fears for their princess. We made our way through the castle, fighting the Unversed, and made our way through the forest. All the while, that weird light magic didn't appear. When the heck will I find out that it means? Anyway, there wasn't a real hiccup till we got near the end of the forest where a large wall of green and black fire blocked our path.

"Looks like we're stuck." Ven said folding his arms.

"This must be Maleficent's doing." Flora said as I turned to Merryweather.

"Is there any other way to the mountain?"

"No, this is the only path." Merrywhether said, shaking her head.

"I know." Forna said and tapped her wand on the wall and it broke apart in a simmering light. "Shall we?"

"Don't you think that was too easy though?" I asked as we walked on reaching the base of the Forbidden Mountain. "If it was that easy to break the barrier why put it up in the first place? Its like she didn't expect anyone powerful to be coming."

"She must not have expected us to come and retrieve Aurora's heart." Flora said as we climbed up the mountain.

"That's right dear, Maleficent doesn't know anything about love or kindness or the joy of helping others." Forna said as I crossed my arms.

"So basically she's just a grumpy old crow." I said as Merryweather nodded. Once we got to the grounds of the castle Ven and I took care of Maleficent's guards, which were pretty easy to take out. No wonder why she never depended on them, they were extremely weak; even the Unversed put up more of a fight than them. We finally reached Maleficent's throne room, across the room was another doorway and was guarded by two of Maleficent's guards. "Careful, they're Maleficent's."

"Well they ain't guardin' nothing." Ven pointed out but I knew what they beyond.

"Unless they're guarding Aurora's heart, she really isn't expecting much to come after it, is she?" I said as Ven and I nodded. Now was the time to act; now that they seem sleepy it'll be a good surprise attack.

"Ten-shun!" Ven called out as we ran at them. "No sleeping on the job!" At this a bunch of guards came running in and I gripped my keyblade tightly.

"Leave this to me Ven!" I yelled raising my keyblade into the air. "Thundaga!" In an instant, every single guard was either vaporized or went running for their lives. The spell was an advance spell but it didn't take much out of me. I have to remember to thank Aqua the next time I see her for all the training she put me through. "Well, that was easy." I said pleased at the job I've done. "We'd better keep going." Ven nodded and our group made our way into the large hall and at the other end was the Aurora's heart; encased by in green flames. Sadly, when we got in a maze appeared, blocking our path.

"Now how are we supposed to get to the heart?" Ven asked, staring at the walls that stood in our way.

"Simple, we keep going till we get to the heart." I said and it's true. Now that we've made it this far we can't stop for anything, it's our job as keyblade users to protect the light and that includes the princesses of heart. Okay, the maze wasn't that bad in the game but in real life it's just really annoying, not to mention every time I went through a portal one I felt sick. I lost count of the number of portals we had to go to in order to get to the heart and I can't wait to kiss this hall goodbye.

"Are you going to be alright?" Ven asked after a while. "You look a little green."

"Yeah, the sooner we get out of here the better." I said, holding my stomach as Ven chuckled. "What are you laughing about? My stomach is running laps right now." "First, you got angry at the dwarfs, second was the cat, and now it's a maze."

"I like mazes, really I do." I said shaking my head but instantly regretting it because the room began to spin. "It's just the portals; they make me feel sick every time we keep going through them. Now I know how Edward felt in that one game, I envy you right now. How come you don't feel sick?"

"Hmm, I don't know." Finally, we made it pass the maze and portals to the other side of the hall to Aurora's heart, encased in its flamed prison. The two of us smiled at each other, breaking the lock like this is nothing for us with our keyblades. We twirled our keyblades and pointed them at the flames as beams of light came from the two weapons of light. The light was much different than the ones I did in battle that much I know so why can't I call out my light power? Anyway, this pure light extinguished the flames freeing the heart. It really must have wanted to return back to where it belonged because once the flames were gone; it flew away faster than you can say 'princess'.

"That should do it." Ven said, happy that the job was done. Ven truly is the nicest person you'll ever meet; he cares more for other's safety than his own. We had only turned around and walked a few steps when something strange happened. A warm sensation filled my heart and all I could see was light but when I was able to see again, I wasn't at the castle. I was standing in the forest with Princess Aurora when she believed she was Rose and Prince Philip. I remember this scene very well, it's when they first met after sixteen years of separation though they didn't know each other and fell in love.

"Don't you remember? We've met before." Philip said to a very reluctant Aurora.

"We... We have?"

"Why of course. You said so yourself-once upon a dream." If it were me, I'd be a little freaked out that someone was listening in on me but Aurora seemed perfectly fine with it. In fact, she must have thought it was destiny because she looked just as he did after a while and went off with him to see the view.

"I never thought I would meet you-outside of my dreams, that is." Aurora cooed, leaning her head against his shoulder.

"Who are you? What's your name?" Philip asked, no doubt curious at whom this mysterious woman was.

"Oh, my name... Why it's..." It was probably then that she remembered the wise words of her beloved fairies she thought were her aunts; don't speak to strangers. "Oh, oh no, I can't... Goodbye!"

"I must see you!" Philip shouted desperately and Aurora turned to leave.

"I don't know, maybe some day." Aurora gasped, running off reluctant to leave Philip.

"When, tomorrow?"

"Oh no, this evening!" This made Aurora excited because she'll get to introduce Philip to the fairies, not knowing they already know each other. "At the cottage, in the glen." She ran off into the distance and the memory fades and I stood in the hallway again. Judging by the look on Ven's face, he saw the memory too.

"What was that?" Ven asked looking at me.

"A memory but it wasn't ours." I said shaking my head as the fairies walked up to us.

"Aurora's memory, she must have gotten her heart back." Flora said, happy that the princess's heart returned to its rightful owner.

"So her dream came true!" Ven said excited as I nodded.

"Must have, she looked really happy in that memory." I said, letting a small smile on my face.

"Yes, not long ago." Flora agreed. "Dreams are very strong beliefs. Aurora's led her to her true love."

"I see you both hold strong beliefs too. Don't you, dears?" Forna said looking at Ven and me.

"Yup." Ven said nodded.

"And we'll keep on believing till the very end." I said and the two of us looked at each other and smiled. We'd never give up our dreams easily; not while we have our friends beside us.

"You both also have a strong light." Flora added and this shocked me a little. I could understand why Ven was full of light. He had his darkness ripped from him, nearly killing him. But how did I fit into all this? Didn't Master Eraqus tell me all about the Destiny Keeper when I arrived? He never said anything about the keeper having a heart filled with light. Maybe that's why that light magic came.

"All right, hurry; we can't stay here!" Merrywhether said looking worried and I agreed but not really forward to feeling sick again. Once we made it out of the maze, we'll have to face one of the greatest villains in Disney history and I'm kind go scared.

"Still, if we want to make a quick exit, we'll have to navigate through the maze in reverse." I said shaking my head. I'm not looking forward to going through more portals again. I don't know how much more my stomach can take.

"Don't worry, dear. We'll take care of it." Flora said and she and the other fairies turned to the nearest portal. Flicking their wands to send a bit of light at the portal it changed from a blood red to a gold color.

"This way, we can get out faster." Merrywhether pointed out looking pleased.

"Oh and can we asked you something, dear?" Forna said as I looked at her, Ven looked just as confused as me. "Do you think, the next time we see you we can fix you a new outfit?"

"Huh, oh no, it's alright; really." I said waving my hands but the fairies shook their heads.

"No, we insist." I looked to Ven for support but he smiled at me.

"I think that would be nice, you need to act more like a girl and dress up more." Ven said as I glared at him.

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean? Isn't the pink enough?" I said as he laughed at me.

"Hurry, we have to leave before Maleficent finds us." Flora said, urgently. I forgot they were afraid of Maleficent to some degree; well more like terrified but they were brave to have come so far. There was no arguing with this so we left the hall. Sadly, for the fairies, it wasn't meant to be. We just entered the throne room to see a tale figure with horns dressed all in black and holding a staff with a green crystal ball on top and a matching green hand holding it.

"Someone has released Princess Aurora's heart." The figure said, not turning to face us. "Tell me, children, was it you?" She finally turned to face us and I got to see the green face known by any Disney fan.

"Maleficent!" Yes, the very witch who a year from now will gain control the heartless to attack the worlds.

"Only 'cause you stole it in the first place!" Ven shouted, furious that this woman had hurt someone as innocent as Princess Aurora.

"Ven wait!" I tried to stop him but it was too late. Ven jumped and made to slash Maleficent but she vanished in green and black flames. I summoned my keyblade and stood back to back with Ven in case she hit us with a surprise attack.

"A keyblade… you must be Ventus." We looked up at the platform where the throne was to see Maleficent staring down at us. "So that must be the Lunar Wish… you must be the Destiny Keeper, Anna."

"Huh? How do you know about me and the keyblade?" Ven asked as I glared.

"And how do you know about me being the Destiny Keeper." I ordered as she gave us a smug look that made me want to slash it off.

"My powers ensure I'd know of the keys to bringing me hearts." Maleficent said looking very pleased. "Terra gave me a demonstration."

"Terra, he was here?" Ven asked, shocked but he missed the part that he demonstrated the power of the keyblade to the evil witch.

"Why, yes. In fact, it was he who stole Princess Aurora's heart."

"That's a lie, you evil hag!" I yelled pointing the Lunar Wish at the witch. Ven looked just as furious, knowing I know the whole truth and if I say it's a lie then it has to be.

"I was asked to leave you both unharmed but it seems I have no choice!" Maleficent shouted, ready to battle us in her human form. The fairies, both frightened but wanting to help, turned into green, red, and blue balls of light and flew to us in case we needed assistance. I was about to case a fire spell when the green witch suddenly vanished. Doing a complete 360, I saw she was behind us and seemed to be ready to cast a spell because her crystal ball was beginning to glow.

"Look out!" I yelled, grabbing Ven and jumping out of the way just in time as a bolt of purple lightning it the very spot we stood.

"Thanks Anna." Ven said staring at Maleficent as she vanished again appearing in the opposite wall.

"You've got to be careful, Ven. Maleficent has power over thunder and sleep. If we're not careful, this could end very badly."

"Right. Then what do we do?"

"Attack head on, but make sure to dodge when that crystal of hers' starts to glow." I said jumping at her and managing to land a few blows before running off as she aimed a couple more lightning bolts at me. Ven seemed go get it because he adopted a hit and run tactic similar to me but he was a lot faster than me. While he had a lot of room between himself and the thunderbolts, I only had a few inches. Then again, he was designed for speed rather than strength or magic; those were Terra and Aqua's area of expertise. Soon however, she saw right through our little game and started attacking us with close range thunders making it difficult for me to dodge; well, almost impossible.

"That's it! I've had enough!" I yelled, getting very inpatient rushed at her and fired a blizzard spell at her but then a warm feeling came back to my heart and the same light spell came flying at Maleficent making her stagger but it really made her mad.

"You little wretches, you'll pay for this dearly!" Maleficent shrieked before disappearing and reappearing in the middle of the room. Her staff was raised as a strange aura started the fill the room with a black and green light. Like everything in the game, this is very familiar but not in a good way. Noticing the fairies had formed a circle of some kind nearby, I got Ven and ran as fast as humanly possible to stand in the circle.

"What are we doing here?" Ven asked as I raised my keyblade.

"Reversing the spell that Maleficent is casting; it's a sleep spell. If we get caught by it, she'd have enough time to strike us down but if we place it on her…"

"Then we can beat her!" Ven said excitedly.

"Yep, now help me out." I said as Ven lift his keyblade in the air too. "Now focus the light energy into the tips and don't lose focus!"

"Right." I am so glad that Terra taught him because he was really good and focusing his strength because after only thirty seconds of this Maleficent got hit by the very spell she tried on us making her fall asleep.

"Now, Ven!"

"Right behind you!" Ven called out as we hit Maleficent with one final blow together, which woke her up and she vanished.

"Where is she?"

"Over there." I answered pointing to a worn out Maleficent as she made her way up to her throne. This fight must have really got to her in a way because she was limping slightly, but that might be because I hit her in the ankle with a fire spell a while ago but she looked close to falling.

"There's no way Terra would hurt somebody like that!" Ven argued at the tired witch and I nodded.

"That's right; you put him under a spell so it wasn't his fault!" I explained as Ven stared at me, shocked. This was the first time I ever mentioned anything that I knew from the game to someone other than Ven; I haven't even confided in Master Eraqus about everything but maybe that's best. I mean, how are you supposed to tell a person that they'll be killed by a former comrade as well as a student you care for like a son?

"Even so, all I did was tempted the darkness in his heart." Maleficent said, that smug look returning to his face. "Once I did that, he agreed so easily. I'm sure your heart would've done the same as well, if your heart wasn't consumed by light."

"What? What do you mean?" I asked Maleficent but she just smirked down at me. Did she know what just happened with that light?

"He did?" Ven seemed to have lost hope by now and even though I knew this was gonna happen, I felt a little sad myself. Terra did give into the spell after a bit of fighting but he couldn't control himself.

"Ven, Anna! Don't be fooled!" We looked to see Aqua running to us.

"Aqua!" I was really glad to see my friend again; she's probably the only one who might understand what I'm going through. Master Eraqus did say he was going to tell her during the private meeting about the secrets of the Masters.

"Terra would never do that." Aqua reasoned. "You both know that, as well as I do." Ven seemed to cheer up considerably by this reason.

"Yeah." He said with a nod and I smiled. Leave it to Aqua to be the voice of reason.

"Ahh… the truth can be most cruel, even amongst the closest of friends." I had forgotten for a second that Maleficent was still there. "After all, one never knows the secrets of another's heart. I'm sure you'll agree… Ventus… Anna… Aqua." The three of us glared at the horrid witch but Aqua turned to Ven and me.

"Enough with your lies, Maleficent!" I yelled, now really angry. How dare she use the same lie to try and make us doubt each other while I'm here. No wonder why I dislike her, that and the fact that one of my best friends is obsessed with her to the point it's annoying. I know everything about what happens in this game and because Master Xehanort must have told her about the keyblades she must at least know a thing or two about me.

"The master sent me." Aqua said as Ven and I looked at each other and I momentarily forgot my anger. "Ven… let's go home." She extended a hand out to him but he looked truly sad now.

"But Terra and Anna."

"Terra's not ready to leave yet and Anna can take care of herself." Ven thought for a minute, most likely remembering Vanitas's words. That made me wonder, Ven was scared he'd never see me again just like Terra. What could Vanitas have said to Ventus about me to make him react like that?

"Sorry, Aqua." Ven said miserably, it took a lot to not listen to his friends and it was hurting him in more ways than one. "But I can't go with you."

"What?"

"It's just… I have to find Terra before it's too late and I'm going to protect Anna no matter what!" Ven turned and grabbed my hand. "Let's go Anna." I didn't even get a chance to say anything as he ran, dragging me with him.

"Ven, Anna!" I knew Aqua was worried about us but I couldn't tell Aqua everything, not when I've become involved and I don't know what is planned for me.

"Terra where are you?" Ven asked as we ran out of the castle and off the forbidden mountain. We didn't stop running till we reached the forest.

"Ven, you do know that witch was lying, right?" I asked, his back was to me.

"I know, but I'm still worried."

"So am I." I said as he looked at me shocked. "I've become a part of this so I don't know what's planned for me. I don't know if the darkness will use Terra to get to us. That's why I promised to stay by your side and protect you. But you need to know that Terra's darkness will get worse and he'll need his friends to help him get out of it or at least help him get back on the right path. That's why we have to find him."

"Anna." Ven said looking at the ground. I shook my head and patted Ven on the head.

"We'd better keep going, or we'll never catch up to Terra. I'm sure you've got a lot to talk to him about when you guys meet up." Ven nodded, a little happier but I could tell he was still worried. I wish I could help him but there wasn't much I could do. "Ven, just believe Terra will be alright. I'm sure no matter how hard it'll get, Terra will keep fighting the darkness in him."

"Yeah, thanks Anna." With that, the two off us left the world and headed for the next. I'm sure Ven hoped we'd find Terra well but things will get a little tougher for all of us. Still, I can feel the sadness slowly begin to creep inside my heart. If that same light that helped me before can save my friends, then I'll need to learn how to use it if it can at least ease the pain of my friends.

Crystal: Well, that's chapter 6. Hope you liked it.

Anna: And you'll work on the next chapter soon, right?

Crystal: Well, Blair's luring in the corner so I'll update her stories first.
