Me: I'm FINALLY back! I had a world-class case of writer's block on this chapter, and you'd be amazed. The Mission: Impossible theme works wonders for writer's block. Sorry I didn't tell you last chapter, but Myria's name is pronounced (MY-ree-ah).

Myria: Why didn't you tell them that at the end of last chapter?

Me: Probably because it was almost midnight and I needed to go to sleep so that I wouldn't be yawning my head off at school?

Myria: Whatever.

Chapter 3: Disney Castle

Fifteen minutes later, Sora had landed the ship and the group had disembarked into the Gummi hangar of Disney Castle. Two chipmunks in yellow aprons were waiting for them upon their arrival.

"Hey, y'all!" the darker of the two greeted the group. "How're ya doing?" Both of them were obviously very excited, to say the least. "Who's your new friend?" the lighter one then asked.

Sora smiled. "Chip, Dale, this is Myria." He introduced her. "Elven princess."

Chip and Dale looked as though the air had just gone out of them. "We're sorry." They said. "About your world."

Myria smiled and bent down to their level. "It's all right." She whispered. "I was lucky enough to land on a world with not one, not two, but three Keyblade wielders. The Soul Screamers are not going to get away with swallowing the Moon Realm in Darkness."

"That's right!" Riku interjected enthusiastically. "There's no way that we're going to let the destruction of any world pass us by unnoticed."

Chip and Dale led the group to the meeting hall where King Mickey was waiting for them. "Hiya, fellas!" He greeted the Keybladers. He was as excited as Chip and Dale had been. The four of them sank to their knees in respect, but Mickey insisted that, as friends, they shouldn't be so formal. As the group rose, Mickey saw Myria for the first time.

"Princess Myria." He greeted her solemnly, giving her a bow of his own. "Since you're here, I assume that the worst has happened?"

"You are correct, Your Majesty." Myria responded. "The Soul Screamers have caused the Moon Realm, and the human world attached to it, to fall into darkness."

Mickey insisted that they all sit down and gently asked Myria to tell what happened.

"It's been a little over a hundred and fifty years since our victory in the Nightmare War. Finally, the fey were used to being the Light Fey again after being divided for centuries during the Nightmare War." Seeing the confused looks on the faces of the three human Keyblade wielders, she gave them a look that said I'll tell you later before continuing. "Suddenly, the wraiths informed the different fey rulers that strange creatures had appeared in their realm. When a group went to investigate, they found nothing.

"Over time, each of the fey reported seeing unusual creatures in their realms, but when these sightings were investigated, nothing was found, except when the intrusion of the Summer Realm, home of the fairies, was looked into. Scouts reported to have caught sight of ghostly creatures, most of them grey, but only for a moment. They couldn't tell what the rest were like before the creatures left. After that, we all became somewhat paranoid, which is quite an accomplishment, let me tell you!

"They attacked out of nowhere. The Soul Screamers. None of our physical attacks harmed them at all. Only the Mages could harm them, but they were still too strong. Princess Aliera of the fairies recognized this and she created a portal of light that would carry us to safety. Apparently, not very many were able to make it to the portal before the Soul Screamers or the Lost Souls caught them. I'm not sure how many were able to make it. The only ones I know who survived the attack are Aliera, Violetta, and I, and I'm not sure what world they're on."

"Myria, I know this is hard, but can you tell us more about the Soul Screamers?" Mickey asked.

"Yes." Myria responded. "Iraxia, the Eternal Darkness, is the leader, and the one that we need to be worried about most. She's the strongest and she controls the Grim Reaper Souls. However, Polixa, the Shadow Assassin and controller of the Vengeful Souls, is a very close second for the worst." Here, Myria looked directly at Sora and Riku. "You had better hope that it's me, Kairi, and the King fighting her."

"Why?" Sora asked.

Myria sighed. Apparently, she really did not want to elaborate on this. "How can I put this?" she muttered, before speaking up. "Well, let's just say, that when Polixa captures human, or humanoid, men, she has her way with them before she kills them." Both Sora and Riku shuddered, and Myria was very relieved that she did not have to elaborate further. She continued:

"The next ranking one is Kazev, the Frozen Soul. There's nothing much to say about him, except that he controls the Drowned Souls. After him is Zarek, the Final Nightmare and controller of the Dreamer Souls." She shuddered. "Everything about him reminds me of Zarek the Nightmare King. He was our main enemy in the Nightmare War. But anyway, after Zarek the Final Nightmare is Feragé, the Flowering Oblivion."

"Why do I get the feeling that his Nobody was Marluxia?" Riku asked, meaning it to be a rhetorical question, but Myria nodded at him.

"I believe I remember him mentioning that name, Riku." She smiled grimly before going on. "Feragé controls the Gardener Souls. Next is Barzip, the Oppressing Flame, who controls the Pyro Souls."

"Axel." Sora murmured. No one except Myria heard him, and she gave him a slight nod.

"The last one is Yiquw, the Black Heart. He controls the Ninja Souls. Yiquw's easily the weakest out of all the Soul Screamers, basically a stronger Heartless, but don't underestimate him. He's still extremely strong."

"So the ones we need to be worrying about most are Iraxia and Polixa, right?" Sora asked.

"Yes, but that doesn't mean that you can't worry about the other Soul Screamers as well." Myria told him.

"Did I say that? No I didn't." Sora said.

"Welp, I know as much as you do about the Soul Screamers now." King Mickey said. "Yen Sid probably knows more about them."

"Yen Sid?" Myria asked, awe coloring her voice. "Do you mean the Yen Sid? He makes our magic look like parlor tricks!"

The mouse king smiled at the Elven princess. "Yep, that Yen Sid." He confirmed. He turned towards the door. "Donald! Goofy!" He called out.

An anthropomorphic duck and a bipedal dog rushed into the room. "Your Majesty!" They saluted, and then their eyes nearly popped out of their heads when they saw one of Mickey's guests. "Sora!"

Sora braced himself for both of them jumping on him, but they, thankfully, managed to remain in control.

"You fellas up for another adventure?" their king asked them

"You betcha!" Goofy exclaimed, and then he noticed Myria. "But, uh, who's that there with them?"

Myria stood from her seat. "I am Myria, heir to the Elven throne of the Spring Realm, the Elven division of the Moon Realm."

"Your Highness." Donald remarked, as both he and Goofy gave low bows to her. Myria gently raised her hand.

"Please, call me Myria." She said.

"Well, where's the first stop on our adventure?" Goofy asked.

"Twilight Town." Sora reported. "We need to pay a visit to Master Yen Sid."

Pronounciation Guide

Aliera: (ah-LEE-era)

Violetta: (VEE-oh-LET-ah)

Me: I think that the names of the Soul Screamers should be easy to pronounce, despite the wierd spelling. If you want pronounciation guides to that, send me a PM and I will give you the guide.
