Under the Sign of Winx

Falen

I continue carrying Emalia on my back. I was the last person in line following Aisha down the path she was leading Bloom, Sky, and I. Aisha's head kept waving back and forth to each point of the cave walls. The way Aisha glancing around the cave, it seems like she is lost or searching for something particular to jog her memory on the way to save the pixies. Sky, who was in front of me, gaze behind him with his eyes locked with mine. I already knew what Sky was saying before he even said anything. I shook my head, hoping Sky wouldn't know what he wanted to say.

"Aisha, we have been walking for hours, are we lost?" Sky asked, still following after Bloom and Aisha.

Thanks for disappointing me, Sky! I tilt my head to the side and see glowing crystals poking out of the ground. The glasses were everywhere, providing us light since Stella is not here to light up the place. Down a little further was a cave opening. The opening was dark, but thanks to the crystals, there was some light.

"Uhh? Uhhh?" Aisha mumbled, staring down the path. "This way! I remembered this path!"

Sky, Aisha, and Bloom went off with a sprint as I followed behind them, making sure I'm not disrupting Emalia's nap. We sprint through the cave opening as I began to perceive the sound of water. Is water dripping from the cave roof and onto a puddle of collected water?

"Guys, do you hear that?" I smiled.

"Is it water droplets?" Bloom asked, staring up at the cave roof for any water that could be above her.

"We going to the part of the cave where it's dry with bits of water collected!" Sky answered as I can make out the sound of happiness in his voice.

"If it's like what Sky said, it is then Brandon and Stella could be close by or closer than we know!" Aisha sounded cheerful.

"Let's stop running and make sure to look for Stella and Brandon!" I told the little group.

The group stopped jogging and went back to walking. Our shoes clicked, and the dripping of connecting to a gathered puddle echoed through the cave. My moved right and left searching for any openings that Brandon and Stella could have taken. So far, there was no sign of any one of them.

"What beautiful!" Aisha sounded happy, getting lost in the dripping sound of water.

"It's amazing!" Bloom beamed, gazing back at Sky and I. "Musa would of love being in this part of the cave!"

"Knowing Musa, she could make a song or killer beat out of this!" I replied, smiling and watching how the water collects from the jagged edge of the cave rock and quickly falls off into the puddle.

"Yes, that and the idea Musa's song will be music to my ears!" Sky exclaimed with his arms on either side of him, along with a smile that quickly faded when the monsters roared came through.

"Oh, no more monsters!!!!" Aisha fear in her tone of voice.

The monsters came marching towards my friends and I. They still roared coming towards us. Bloom, Sky, Aisha, and I backed away slowly.

"Ummm? Bloom and Aisha?" I asked, hoping to get the answer we so desperately need. "Are you girl's energy back up to transform?"

"No, I'm still weak!" Bloom exclaimed, sounding fearful.

"I'm out of juice as well!" Aisha replied, sounding the same as Bloom.

"Our only best option is to RUN!!!" Sky yelled, running through another cave opening.

"Seguindo logo atrás de você!" I replied, shouting, holding tightly to Emalia. (Translation: Following right behind, ya!)

Down Land: Brandon
