In the heaven's

Chapter forty-three

The Winx girls were now gathered outside in Alfea's courtyard, and from the distance, they easily make out the Trix's army of darkness marching towards their school. 

But thankfully, the fairies of Alfea were able to combine forces with the Specialists of Red Fountain to fend them off, and it became apparent when the specialists stood at the front of the school with their weapons drawn. 

"Well, this is it. I'm sorry, I really wish we could help you." Isadora said, offering her friends a sympathetic look to try and convey her apology better than her words ever could. 

"But we've already discussed it. You'll be more useful here." Blood added, but that only egged Musa further until she just snapped, not knowing a better way to display her emotions. 

"So, it's the same old story. You're as stubborn as a mule!" She seethed, looking away from Bloom and Isadora so that they couldn't see the tears welling in her eyes, but they'd known her long enough to know of her defense mechanisms. 

Isadora and Bloom rushed to embrace Flora and Musa in a hug, much to Stella's dismay as she'd been left out. "Hey, I'm here too!" She said, joining their hug. 

When they finally released each other, the tears that'd been welling up in  Tecna's eyes finally became visible, and Isadora nearly cried at the sight. "No, Tecna. Please don't cry, if you do then I'll cry, and we won't be able to go on the mission because then I won't be able to stop." 

Tecna quickly wiped her eyes and looked away from her friends, pride flooding through her system. "I wasn't crying, a speck of dust just got in my eye."

Suddenly, Brandon's head poked up from a plant bed that held the trees. "Excuse me, girls, but times a-wasting and Knut's found the right path." 

Flora let out a melodious laugh, which felt so different given the fact that they were in an all-out war with the Trix. 

"What is it you say on Earth?" She questioned, placing a finger to her lips as she thought on it for a few seconds before responding. "Break a leg!" 

And with that, Isadora, Stella and Bloom each descended down into the tunnels, following Brandon.

The tunnels were dark, dusty and absolutely creepy, which made Isadora's skin crawl, and seeing a spider hanging a few feet above her head made it much worse as she nearly shrieked in fear. 

"Well, Knut, which way do we go to get to Cloud Tower?" Prince Sky asked, holding his sword up in front of him while looking to the ogre for an answer.

"I'm not sure. Things are different down here." He revealed, and Lucian had to bite back a groan of annoyance.

They walked further into the tunnels in silence, until Stella asked a question directed at Brandon. "So, you're not a prince?" 

"No, unfortunately. I'm Brandon, Sky's page. And Lucian here, is Sky's assigned protector" 

"So, Sky tricked Bloom, you tricked me, and Lucian knew all about this from the very start." She stated, growing slightly agitated with the brown-haired specialist. 

Lucian thought about it for a second before nodding his head. "Sounds about right." 

Swiftly, Isadora delivered a hard slap to his head, relishing in his well-deserved pain. "So, you knew that they were lying to my friends, and you didn't even think to tell literally anybody?!" She questioned. 

"That was a day for revelations for everybody. We learned that we related on that day... among other things." 

Although the last part was muttered, it still managed to reach the ears of their comrades, who instantly grew interested in what the 'other things' were.
