And now we arrive in Enchanted Dominion. And let me tell you this was a hard one.
Anyways, enjoy!
Lanes-In-Between:
Pence drove the Gummiship towards the next world. Snow White, Florian, and the dwarves took in the view.
"In all my years, I have never seen such a pretty sky!" said Snow White.
"It is absolutely breathtaking…" said Florian.
"Shame Sleepy is sleepin' through it." said Happy.
"So what do all these colorful things do?" asked Bashful, looking at all the buttons.
"All of those activate different parts of the ship." Olette replied. "The heater is used for warmth, while the air conditioner is used for cooling down."
"This switch is for the lights. Cool thing is it's a fader." said Hayner, standing by the doorway out of the cockpit.
He moved it up and down. The lights dimmed or brightened.
"Ooh!" the dwarves said in awe.
"It's making me more sleepy…" yawned Sleepy.
"My goodness. I'm just now beginning to realize that since we'll be gone for a while, I probably should've told my family where we were going." Florian said with wide eyes.
"No need." said Olette, writing down on a piece of paper. "I'm sending them a note... right... now!"
She rolled up the paper and walked down the Gummiship. She made her way to the back and found an old mail tube. She entered in the coordinates and put the letter in. It whooshed through the tube and out the Gummiship. It flew all the way back to Dwarf Woodlands towards Flroain's castle. Olette returned to the cockpit.
"It's done." she beamed.
"Fascinating, so you are able to send letters to other worlds quickly in case one needs to be informed of something. You have my sincerest thanks." Florian said.
"Not at all, Prince Florian. I only started to realize that matter myself shortly after we left your world." said Olette.
"Speaking of worlds, we're here you guys." Pence called out.
A world soon came into the distance. A white castle with blue roofs on the tower parts stood on top of a green hill surrounded by trees. Above the castle were three different colored lights, red, green, and blue. Below it was a more spookier forest with spooky trees and a dark castle surrounded by green mist.
"There it is! The home of Sleeping Beauty herself." said Olette.
"And Maleficent too…" said Pence, gulping.
"Whether or not we run into her, we still have a job to do." sighed Hayner. "Let's go."
Pence parked the Gummiship and pressed the buttons.
"Before you go, I found something at the mine before we left." said Happy, dropping something in Pence's hands.
It was a summon charm. It had a green background with a brown bow and arrow.
"A summon charm? Sora was right, they are everywhere." Pence said as he pocketed it.
"As much as I want to see Aurora again, I think it's for the best that my friends and I stay here." said Snow White. "I don't think I can stand being around Maleficent if she's back in her world."
"We can keep an eye on your transportation." Florian suggested.
"Of course you guys, we understand." smiled Olette.
"Just don't touch any of the buttons. We know this is all new technology to you." said Hayner. "If you get hungry, there's food in the cupboards and fridge. Try the Sea Salt ice cream. It's tasty."
"But if you wanna make something, instructions for both the stove and the recipe book are next to the fruit bowl on the kitchen table." Olette added.
"Please be careful. We don't wanna wreck this ship. It was lent to us by a friend of ours." said Pence.
"Oh of course!" promised Snow White.
"You just moo your decision-er do your mission." said Doc.
"Everything is under control here." promised Bashful.
Dopey nodded quickly.
"Alright. See you guys later!" said Hayner.
Pence pressed a button and the trio beamed away.
Enchanted Dominion:
Three beams of light came from the sky on top of a bridge. And before the bridge stood a tall white castle.
"Think this is the place?" Pence asked.
"Yep. The castle of Sleeping Beauty herself." said Hayner.
With that, the three began to make their way to the front door. As they did, they spotted two castle guards… asleep.
"Huh. That's strange. Why are they sleeping on the job?" asked Olette.
"You got me." shrugged Pence as he tried to open the door. "Rats! Locked!" he muttered.
Hayner looked to the side and spotted a rope attached to a bell. "Jackpot!" he grinned.
He rang the bell. The trio waited for a few minutes. But no one came to the door.
"That's odd. Shouldn't there be a castle staff or something?" Pence asked. "I mean that's what the magic brooms are at Mickey and Minnie's castle."
"Maybe they're all in a meeting or something." Olette suggested.
"I dunno, they should've heard the bell." said Pence, scratching his head.
Hayner frowned, folding his arms. "Call me crazy in all caps… but I feel like something's wrong here." he said. "No one's at the front door… so maybe we can try the service entrance."
"Wouldn't that be breaking and entering?" Olette asked.
"Not unless someone's already there." Hayner replied. "C'mon, let's go check."
The trio wandered along the castle grounds until they came to the service entrance. But when they got there, they were surprised to see that various castle staff members were fast asleep.
"What the heck? Why are they all sleeping on the job?" asked Hayner.
"I don't know, but I think we should find Aurora. Maybe she'll know." Olette replied.
The three wandered around the castle halls until they came to the throne room. It was a large room with maroon tiles on the floor and gray brick walls. At the back were two orange thrones against blue curtains with green buttresses above them.
"Fancy ballroom." said Pence.
"And no sign of any rulers." said Hayner, frowning.
Suddenly, Heartless spawned around the ballroom. There were Earth Cores, Rare Truffles, Zip Slashers, and Missile Divers.
"But there are these creeps again!" Olette scowled, summoning Dawn Till Dusk.
Pence and Hayner followed suit with Midnight Blue and Phantom Green.

Mission: Eliminate the Heartless
Playable Characters:
Hayner
Pence
Olette
Hayner started the fight as he tried slashing at some Earth Cores. The spiky Heartless attempted to drill around Hayner, managing to stun him a bit. Hayner cured himself and casted Wind Tracer to hold them off. The blonde-haired Twilight Towner then aimed his Keyblade high and unleashed Crawling Fire to destroy them. But then he was surrounded by a few Missile Drivers. They flew down towards Hayner and punched him at every turn. Hayner used Aero to keep them at bay. He then slashed at each of them twice before he casted Blizzard on the last one to destroy it.
Pence ran at some Rare Truffles, but they kept dodging his attacks as they bounced away. Getting an idea, Pence used Aeroga to lift them into the air. Pence then jumped up and slashed them multiple times before he used Mega Flare as his finisher. But as Pence landed back on his feet, he was ambushed by some Zip Slashers. The metal-looking Heartless spun their blades around like a blender and slashed Pence all around in their Spin Slash technique. Pence recovered and used Ice Barrage to freeze them and then slashed them away.
Olette ducked from some more Zip Slashers attempting to stab her with their blades. While she was able to mostly dodge them, she ended up getting slashed a few times. Olette recovered and locked her Keyblade with one of their blades and then kicked it away before she used Fission Firaga to destroy them. A few more Earth Cores came flying at the brunette as she braced herself. They used their Moving Sand move to turn into sand and began to attack Olette from all sides. But Olette was ready as she slashed at them with Dawn Till Dusk and then used Icicle Mine to attack them from above and then finished them with a Faith spell.
There were still a few Heartless left; two Zip Slashers, a Rare Truffle, an Earth Core, and two Missile Drivers.
"Any ideas?" Hayner asked.
Pence snapped his fingers as an idea flew into his head. "I got one! We need a distraction attack, surprise attack, and finishing attack."
"We should choose our spells carefully." suggested Olette.
"Done." Hayner said determinedly as he raced forward.
Hayner aimed his Keyblade at the Heartless and began to fire Firara spells, hoping to both gain their attention and distract them. As the Heartless looked in Hayner's direction and were about to strike back, Olette casted Triple Plasma to strike them instead. With the Heartless immobilized, Pence ran in with a yell and used Raging Storm, pillars of flames erupting from the ground and destroying the Heartless, ending the fight.
(Lexaeus's Absent Silhouette Boss Fight from Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix ends)
The trio panted as Hayner casted Curaga.
"Alright then, another Heartless crisis averted!" he said.
"Still though, the fact that there are Heartless here, plus the current situation with the castle staff is pretty concerning. Although, I'm more worried about where the princess was when all of this was happening." Olette said.
"I'm right here." came a voice.
The three jumped in surprise. They turned and saw a young woman walk in, followed by a young man. It was Sleeping Beauty herself Princess Aurora and her husband Prince Phillip.
Aurora was a fair-skinned woman with indigo eyes and waist-length, curly, blonde hair. She wore a pink ball gown with a petal overskirt, a ruffled white petticoat, and long triangular sleeves, a golden tiara, and pink shoes.
Phillip was a thin young man with wavy, brown hair and black eyes. He wore a gray tunic over a high-collared, long-sleeved black shirt, a black belt with a gold buckle around his waist, over the tunic, dark gray pants, knee-high, black boots, and a a long, red cape with a high collar, fastened by a golden, circular pin.
"Oh my goodness… Princess Aurora!" Olette gasped as she immediately bowed. Hayner followed suit.
"Hey there." Pence greeted casually as Hayner and Olette looked at him in shock.
Aurora giggled at their reactions and Phillip was amused. "There's no need for formalities." she said. "I was going to ask who you were, but then I saw those Keyblades you were fighting with. Just like Sora's."
"I also have seen that kind of weapon before." said Phillip. "First time I saw one, it was being wielded by a young woman named Aqua."
"Oh we know them!" said Pence. "Sora and Aqua are our friends!"
"Along with many other Keyblade Wielders." said Hayner. "We know who you two are. I'm Hayner."
"I'm Pence." said Pence.
"And my name's Olette." finished Olette.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." said Aurora. "What brings you to the kingdom?"
Hayner clicked his tongue. "It's a… it's kind of a long story." he said. "We know that you're a former Princess of Heart like our friend Kairi."
Aurora was surprised. "Oh you do? Well, my role as one of the seven princesses was completed about almost three years ago." she said.
"We know that." Olette said. "And we do know that the roles have been passed on. But our enemies have been keeping their eyes on the new candidates for the Princesses of Heart."
"And why is that?" questioned Phillip.
"To forge Kingdom Hearts' counterpart, the χ-blade. And start a second Keyblade War." said Hayner. "They know you guys completed your role. But if they can't find the new 7 Hearts, then you and the other originals could be in danger again."
"What's worse is that among our enemies is Maleficent." said Pence. "She teamed up with Xehanort, the man responsible for all the worlds falling to darkness, including yours."
Aurora gasped. "My goodness! Oh I don't want to go through all of that again! Once was bad enough already!" she said in fright. "And I knew Maleficent was back, but I thought she moved on from trying to hurt me."
"Apparently not." said Hayner. "That's why we're here, to make sure you guys are ok."
"That is very noble of the three of you." Phillip said in appreciation. "Perhaps you can help Aurora and I with what's been happening here."
"That's what we were wondering too." said Hayner. "Why is everyone in the castle asleep?"
Aurora frowned. "It's been like this all day. Phillip and I were in his home kingdom for some royal duties. We took his horse Samson with us." she said.
"But when we returned earlier today, we found everyone asleep all across the castle." Phillip continued. "The staff, the guards, my father, Aurora's parents, all of them. We tried to wake them all up, but not even shouting at the top of our lungs worked. Or knocking over knight statues."
"That is pretty weird." said Olette.
"Maybe your fairy friends Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather know something about it?" suggested Pence. "Maybe it's a magic thing. Ooh, like a sleeping curse!"
"We did try to look for them. But they seem to have vanished." said Aurora. She sighed. "I'm worried about them."
"What's also worrying is if their magic were to fall into the wrong hands." Phillip added grimly.
"That's right." Aurora nodded. "Shortly after Phillip and I got married, he along with his father and my parents left for a couple of days on important business, therefore leaving me in charge of watching over the kingdom. As a result, Merryweather loaned me her wand in case I needed any assistance. However, if the commands aren't said carefully, the magic can be quite dangerous. I learned that the hard way before I settled on perseverance instead of the easy way out." (1)
"That's a good strategy." Olette said approvingly.
"Well why don't we help you?" Pence asked. "Sora and his friends help out other people across the worlds all the time."
Aurora and Phillip smiled in thankfulness.
"Would you? That is awfully kind of you." Aurora said.
"It's our pleasure." said Hayner. "Think you guys can give us directions to where you think they could be?"
"We'll do you all one better." Phillip said. "We'll accompany you on your quest."
"Another princess and prince team up for the three of us." Pence hummed. He grinned. "Awesome! The more the merrier."
"Though just a heads up, you may have to fight the Heartless." Hayner warned.
"Heartless… are those what we saw you fight?" Phillip asked.
"They are." Aurora nodded. "I remember them during the time Riku and Maleficent captured me and the other princesses."
"Oh that reminds me!" said Olette. "Riku's on our side."
Aurora was surprised. "He is? But I thought-"
"Maleficent and another villain named Ansem were messing around with Riku, trying to make him give into the darkness and be a bad guy." Hayner said. "He eventually overcame it and now he's a good guy again."
Aurora was relieved. "Well that is very good to hear." She then looked at her fancy dress. "Oh I don't think I can fight in this. I'll be right back."
And Aurora went to another area in the castle.
"Will we need weapons like yours to fight those creatures?" Phillip asked.
"Nah you'll be fine with your sword and shield." Hayner said dismissively. "Aurora though… does she have any weapons?"
Phillip shook his head. "No. She doesn't go out fighting unless she wants to. At least whenever the kingdom is in danger… or if I wanna practice." he replied.
Pence looked around the castle and spotted another sword behind the thrones. It was shiny with a gold handle. "Whose sword does that belong to?" he asked.
"Oh, that's King Stefan's old sword." Phillip replied. "He used to fight with it back in the day before he married Leah and became king."
Pence picked it up. "I think she can work with this." he said.
"I can work with what?"
Aurora suddenly walked back in. She now wore a black bodice over a gray long-sleeved calf-length frock with a white petticoat, black flats, and a black hairband.
"This." Pence said as he handed Aurora's father's sword to her. "You'll need something to fight the Heartless. Nobodies and Unversed too if they pop up out of nowhere."
Aurora was taken aback. "Oh! I um… I don't really sword fight." she said with a nervous smile.
"It's ok." Olette smiled. "You'll be able to learn as we go along."
"And I can help you." offered Phillip.
Aurora smiled. "Well thank you. Thank you very much."
"Alright. Let's go find out where the sleeping spell is coming from." said Hayner.
"Should we get Samson?" Aurora asked.
Phillip shook his head. "He had a long run from the other kingdom." he said. "He deserves a non-cursed rest."
Aurora chuckled. "Indeed he does. Alright, we shall go on foot."
Village:
Later, the group made their way to the town between the castle and forest. Everywhere they looked, they could see people of all ages asleep on the ground, against the walls, or inside their houses. Some snored, some hummed, some were silent.
"Wow, this sleeping spell really knocked everyone out cold." Hayner commented.
Olette tried shaking a flower vendor woman awake as she laid on the ground, sleeping behind it. "Not even a storm siren could wake them up." she frowned.
Pence stepped in a puddle… only to find out it was a puddle of drool from a sleeping man behind a breadstand.
"Water's out of the option too…" Pence cringed, shaking the drool off of his shoe.
"Um, speaking of water!" Aurora cried, pointing.
Everyone turned and gasped. A young peasant boy had fallen asleep on a water fountain… and was falling in!
Hayner rushed over and pulled the boy out and laid him near a stone wall.
"Geez that was close!" he said in relief. "That spell could've made this kid drown!"
"Would it even work like that?" Pence wondered.
"Most likely since he was face down." Olette said.
"Hopefully we can find out where this spell came from." said Phillip. "And if we must, put a stop to it."
"Easier said than done, prince."
Everyone jumped as a corridor of darkness opened. And out stepped Dark Riku, donning his purple bodysuit.
"This magic is out of your league." Dark Riku smirked.
Aurora gasped. "Riku!?" she exclaimed. "Wow you… you haven't aged at all."
"I thought you said he was on our side." Phillip said to the teens.
"He is!" insisted Hayner. He and his friends glared at the Organization member. "That guy, on the other hand, is a replica of Riku."
"A… replica?" Aurora asked in confusion.
"Our friend Even created him back when he was the Nobody Vexen." said Pence. "That mad scientist wanted to test Riku's strength and get him to fall back into the darkness."
"The replica redeemed himself but this one is a version of him brought from the past." said Olette.
"Back when he was cold and heartless…" scowled Hayner.
Dark Riku chuckled. "The kind of personality that makes me strong and powerful against you weaklings." he said. "Though you are correct in guessing that there's magic at work here. Fairy magic."
The five's eyes widened.
"Fairy magic? You mean Maleficent is back?!" Aurora gasped in fright.
"Makes sense, this is her home world." Hayner scowled.
Dark Riku shook his head. "Wrong. Maleficent is back in the World That Never Was, overseeing her new league and the Organization." he said. He began to walk around the town. "No, this whole sleeping curse was my idea… although I did have help from fairy magic." He paused and looked over to the group with the smirk. "But not one fairy… but three."
Hayner, Pence, and Olette's eyes widened as Aurora and Phillip gasped.
"Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather?!" Aurora cried.
Dark Riku laughed. "You're correct, Sleeping Beauty." he mocked.
"He's lying! They would never help a villain like you!" accused Pence.
"You're only half right." Dark Riku corrected. "You see, during the many months working for the Organization, we always try to come up with efficient and effective strategies in attacks and plunging worlds into darkness. While those three good fairies were back in their world here, making sure everything and everyone were safe and calm, I executed my attack. Powerful Heartless were able to sneak attack Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather and capture them. I snagged their wands and conjured a powerful sleeping spell."
"So you're the real cause of this!" Hayner snapped, pointing at the past version of Riku Replica.
Dark Riku chuckled mockingly. "Yes I am." he boasted. "The plan was to make sure Aurora wouldn't have anyone to help or protect her. That way, the Organization could pick her up and keep her on the side in case both versions of the 7 Lights failed to come together. What I didn't expect was for her and Phillip to be in a neighboring kingdom. But in the end their only protectors are three mediocre Keybearers masquerading as all-powerful masters."
Hayner and Pence growled as Olette glared.
"We're not masquerading at anything!" snapped Pence.
"Or did you not hear that we defeated Terra-Xehanort in the Dwarf Woodlands?" smirked Hayner.
"Oh I did." Dark Riku nodded. "But my plan is different from his. And overtime my power grows."
"Cut the arrogance!" snapped Olette. "How do we stop this?!"
"And where are my friends?!" demanded Aurora.
Dark Riku pointed up and beyond the town. "Maleficent's old fortress of solitude." he said before turning back at them. "The wands, on the other hand, are being protected by Heartless I crafted to resemble versions of the past. You'd be surprised what you can achieve through dark magic, whether it'd be time traveling, spying on others no matter what time they're in, corruption, it's all the rage."
"We will stop your plans!" Hayner said, clutching his fist in front of him.
Dark Riku cackled in amusement. "Pretty brave of you, Struggle Bat Boy. But this isn't like Past Terra's plan. Although… this should be entertaining to see. You five will be in over your heads for this one. I'd wish you good luck, but that's not my style. And frankly, if it was, it'd be a very lost cause."
And Dark Riku vanished in a swirl of darkness.
Aurora was worried. "Oh no… my friends are in danger!"
"Don't worry Aurora, we'll find them and save them!" promised Olette.
"Come on, let's get going!" said Hayner.
And the five made their way through town and into the forest.
Forest Clearing:
The group of five made their way through the forest. Aurora was telling them more about her time in charge.
"Cows, chickens, green pigs?" Olette said in astonishment. "All from Merryweather's magic wand?"
"It was chaotic to be sure, yes." Aurora nodded. "That was when I learned my lesson about taking the easy way out instead of sticking with it. I guess you could say I 'chickened out.'" she giggled.
"She also gave everyone a cow for compensation." Phillip added.
"Well, that explains why we saw a cow sleeping in each person's yard on the way out of town." Hayner quipped. "How did your family find out?"
"When the dinner that was served was a ginormous chicken leg." Aurora replied.
Everyone laughed.
The Twilight Trio began admiring the scenery as they all walked along.
"This is just like Snow White's world." Olette commented. "But a little greener."
"It is quite lovely, isn't it?" Aurora smiled. "This was where I grew up back when the fairies were raising me. And where I met all my animal friends."
"And where the two of us would reunite since her cursed christening." Phillip added. "Once upon a dream…"
Suddenly a gust of darkness surrounded them all, making them stop in their tracks.
"Whoa!" Phillip gasped. "What's happening?!"
"I think we're being ambushed!" Pence cried.
At that moment, glowing red eyes emerged from the darkness.
"Oh my goodness!" Aurora gasped. "What is that?!"
"Looks like something we gotta get rid of!" said Hayner, summoning Phantom Green.
Pence and Olette quickly summoned Midnight Blue and Dawn Till Dusk.
Suddenly the eyes disappeared and then out emerged a large monster Heartless; The Dark Hide.
"Whoa it's a Heartless!" said Pence.
"A big Heartless…" murmured Olette. "Your highnesses, we may need your help!"
"Of course!" said Phillip, drawing his sword and shield.
"I'll give it my best!" Aurora said, drawing the sword.

Dark Hide jumped forward and attempted to swipe at the group with its claws. Pence fired Icicle Mine at it to hold it back. Hayner used this opportunity to cast a Fission Firaga spell at it. But Dark Hide suddenly tail-whipped Hayner against the ground. Phillip ran at Dark Hide and attempted to slash it with his sword. The massive Heartless shot a large fireball at him. Phillip blocked it with his shield. Olette slashed the large Heartless several times before she used Blackout to blind it, allowing Aurora to slash it with her father's sword. Dark Hide suddenly did a Buzz Saw trick, spinning through the air and landing so hard it knocked everyone over. Hayner got back up and casted Triple Firaga to damage it. Dark Hide attempted to use Mega Flare right back, but Olette used Thunder Surge to charge forward, electrocuting the big Heartless. Dark Hide tail-whipped them away and then merged back into the darkness, red eyes glowing and moving all around. It suddenly leapt out to attack, but Aurora and Phillip were ready as they held their swords up and slashed it across its legs, making it fall onto the ground. As it got up, it shot out Shadow Bombs, exploding and causing damaging force fields to knock the two royals right off their feet. But as it then attempted to blast them with more fireballs, Pence used Ice Barrage to hold it back, followed by a Meteor spell to damage it further.
Olette charged back at the Dark Hide to slash it multiple times and then fired a Crawling Fire spell against its face. Dark Hide suddenly used its afterimages attack to discombobulate Olette and it thrashed her with its claws. Aurora came to Olette's rescue by slashing it's tail and tentacles. She ducked and dodged some claw swipes, keeping it distracted. Pence used Transcendence to hold it back as Phillip jumped at it. The prince slashed its face and then bashed it with his shield. Dark Hide tail-whipped him away, knocking him into Pence. Hayner jumped up from behind and unleashed an Ignite spell to weaken it further. Dark Hide jumped back into the darkness as its red eyes circled around the group as they attempted to recover. It suddenly jumped out and pounced on them all. Hayner attempted to blast the giant Heartless in the face with a light spell, but the monster knocked his Keyblade out of his hands and then crawled off the group. But Pence saw an opening and used Tornado Tracer in an attempt to hold Dark Hide off. Olette assisted him as she used Firaza next, the fire magic striking Dark Hide further and sending it back. All five got back up, ready to finish fighting as Dark Hide ran at them. They all scattered around and got ready to strike. As Dark Hide set its sights on Phillip, the prince braced himself as it jumped into the air. With a swing, he bashed his shield into its face and then stabbed it in the neck with his sword. Dark Hide roared in pain as it stumbled back, just as Olette casted Sparkara to electrocute it. Aurora stabbed it in the back with her sword and jumped back to avoid getting hit. Pence used Raging Storm to weaken it further and Hayner finished the fight as he unleashed a Quake spell to knock it into the air and it crashed onto the ground, destroying it as it faded away.
(Dark Hide Boss Fight from Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep Final Mix ends)
As everyone caught their breath and Pence casted healing spells, Aurora spotted something on the ground where the Heartless once stood.
"Oh my-it's a magic wand!" she exclaimed, picking it up.
"Magic wand?" Hayner repeated. "Like one of the Good Fairies' wands?"
"Yes, I recognize it anywhere." Aurora nodded. "And I think this was what created that Heartless since I didn't see any heart float away from it like those at the castle."
"I think she's right." Olette said. "I saw that kind of Heartless in Jiminy's Journal. I think it was called… a Dark Hide or something. Aqua told him about it during her time in the Realm of Darkness."
"Oh yeah it sneak-attacked her and she destroyed it!" added Pence. "Guess past Riku Replica used the wand to give it protection in the form of a powerful Heartless. That's both cool and disturbing."
"So what do we do with the wand?" Hayner asked.
Pence snapped his fingers. "We use it to magic away all our problems!" he said.
"Oh no, bad idea." Aurora said quickly. "This wand is too powerful, maybe even more powerful than your Keyblades. It takes a lot of responsibility and careful wording. Otherwise, it could lead to disaster. I know from experience."
"Good point." Pence relented as Aurora pocketed the wand.
"Come on. I'm sure that won't be the last creature to attack us before we reach Maleficent's old home." Phillip said. "Let's get moving again."
The princess and Twilight Town residents nodded in agreement and the five continued to venture through the forest.
To be continued…
