In the heaven's

Chapter forty-four

Now walking in another secret tunnel with her friends, and Riven, who she considered to be more of an acquaintance rather than a teammate or even a comrade. 

Knut was leading them through the tunnels with the assistance of the maroon haired specialist, who grew to know the secret tunnels and corridors of Cloud Tower due to his forceful stay there. 

But their journey was never meant to be smooth. Standing at the end of the corridor was a guard from the Trix's Army of Darkness. From their position, they could easily make out the worm-like creatures that slithered towards the feet of the solider, making it bigger as more followed suite. 

Knut quickly realized that there was no way that they would be able to escape through that way even with three specialists, two fairies and a set of twins with their own scepters, they still wouldn't be able to compete with the monster's brute strength and magical capabilities. 

So, he placed a finger in the air, a sign to not make a single noise. Once they were compliant, he stealthy snuck around the corner and moved his hands around the brick wall. 

Finally having had found what he was looking for, he applied a bit of pressure until the brick moved inwards and revealed a secret passageway that would be able to get them past the guard undetected. 

"This way." he whispered, and everyone else quickly filled into the tunnel, not giving anything a second thought. 

Together, the four specialists along with three fairies and a troll, continued their journey through the surprisingly lit tunnel. 

Knut guided them to a door that he pushed open with minimal force and they quickly realized that they were somebody's bedroom. 

Bloom's eyes widened in disbelief and confusion as she looked around, the setting quickly growing familiar to her. "Knut, this is the Trix's room. Why did you bring us here?" 

Stella rolled her eyes as she pointed a finger at the scarcely lived in room. "He wanted us to see a good example of bad decorating." She jeered, feeling insulted by Knut that he actually brought them to the Trix's room. 

Lucian, being the last one to exit the tunnel that he was slow to realize was actually a wardrobe, closed the double doors behind him before taking a spot in between Riven and Brandon, the former of which glancing past the troll and instead looking at the door. 

"From here, we have access to the castle." He explained before walking ahead of the group and flinging the doors open. He scanned the halls for a few seconds while Bloom snuck up under him and looked in the opposite direction, where she took note of the three guards looming towards the end of the hall. 

"The corridor is heavily guarded." She whispered, pushing herself back into the room once Knut had done so himself. 

Slowly, a smile began to quirk the corners of Knut's lips upwards, as a realization struck him. "Getting out of this room isn't a problem. I've learned to move about the castle without being noticed." 

Knut pointed to a window that rested along the wall. "First we need to go down a couple of stories. The tunnel leading us down is through there." 

The others made their way over to Bloom and Knut in a few short strides. Once they were able to see the mirror, Prince Sky became unconvinced of the mirror's capabilities. "I don't know, it looks like a regular mirror to me." 

Brandon quickly hopped on board with Sky's perspective, stating, "You've got a keen eye." 

Knut, on the other hand, remained sure of the mirror ability to lead them into another tunnel. "You've got to trust me. I'm with you, not the witches." He declared. "Now come on, we've no time to waste."
