They looked ahead and noticed a cave right ahead of them. They thought of going into it rather than climbing the mountain whose end doesn't seem to be visible.

It was also less dangerous then falling into the lava during the climb.

They moved in the cave. It was darker as they headed more deeper in the cave.

It had been a while now. They were fed up. They just somehow wanted to move out of the place. Bloom too was tired now.

After walking for more 1 hour they noticed something shining ahead in their path. They headed there.

They sawed huge gold blocks.

"Am I dreaming," Catty said looking at the scene.

"It's an awesome dream," Snowy replied.

It was a gold mine. All were busy looking at the gold. It was their first experience with a gold mine.

Bloom came further. She wasn't much interested in it. She had not forgotten that they had to still move out of the place.

She found a door ahead. It was locked.

"The key should be somewhere nearby," she said to herself.

It was just a hunch but she was sure to find a key there. She told the others to help her in search of a key to the door. They started searching it in the gold mine.

Linnet found it very easily. Bloom had a smile.

"Is everything alright," Daisy asked.

Bloom was bust staring at Linnet and was distracted with Daisy's call.

"Yes," she said; "Let's move ahead,"

Linnet took the key from the place and went to open the door.
There was a room. There were lights over there.

They headed in. There were two paths forward.

"Let's go to the right," Bloom said.

"And why is that so," Lina questioned.

"I believe that the right way always shows the right direction," Bloom said and started laughing weirdly.

She was acting weird. Linnet and Lina exchanged glances.

"Let's go," Bloom said as she marched on ahead with total confidence.

Others too followed cause they were not sure which path would remove them out of the place.

Bloom was eventually proved right. There were no mines ahead on that path just a straight way.

"How did you know this was the right path," Daisy asked.

"I already told you the answer," Bloom said.

"Tell the truth," Daisy said.

"There isn't any. It was just a hunch," she replied.

It didn't seem that Bloom would open up. Bloom told them to move further.

Bloom was thinking to go and check the left way once by not taking anyone along with her but then removed the idea from her mind.

They had to walk 2 hours more till they reached a staircase which all was hoping to lead them out of the chamber. Larry was the first to run up followed by Bloom and the others but Larry stopped in middle.

"What happened," Bloom asked.

"There is door here. It's not opening," Larry said.

Bloom moved up a stair. Both Larry and Bloom balanced on one leg. With the efforts of both of them the door opened. It seemed that there were surely out.
