The Core Of The Magic Dimension

Darkar The Shadow Phoneix

Aerilyn woke up moments later in Diablous' arms. "Aeri are you okay?" He asked frantically. She groaned and held her head. "Oh god Brandon, is he okay?" She asked. Diablous' face dropped.

"He and Stella fell into the pit, we don't know where they are." Aerilyn gasped and covered her mouth. "It's all my fault." He shook his head.

"It's not Aeri, you did what you could." She sighed and her head fell against his chest. 

"I don't understand how I was that weak, it was like something drained me instantly." Bloom ran to her and hugged her. "Oh thank god you're okay."

"Personal space please, I just passed out I'm fine." There was a scream from the cave. Diablous let her down and they ran towards the scream to see Aisha stuck against the wall by some glue. "Disgusting, please get this thing off me!" Sky tried to rip the glue off her but she begged him to stop. "My wings!" 

"Let me try." Aerilyn said. She drew her scythe. 

"Please be careful." Aisha begged.

"I have trained in weapons all my life." She slashed the glue off Aisha and she dropped it from the wall. "Oh thank you Aeri!" She tried to come in for a hug but Aerilyn stepped back and shook her head. "I have a strict no-hugging policy unless you almost died." Bloom chuckled.

"Yeah been friends for a year and she still keeps it up, you'll get used to it." She said to Aisha. Aisha burst out laughing. "I think I will."

They looked down at the pit, Bloom was still weak and was unable to transform and Aisha's wings weren't able to fly because of the sticky substance. Aerilyn was drained by a mysterious force and Diablous couldn't do much to help them down. "I have an idea." Aisha created a crane from morphix allowing them to climb down to the bottom of the pit. 

There was a dead body of the tar monster but no sign of Brandon or Stella. Aerilyn pointed in front of them and said. "I hear a river, this way." They ran to the river, its waters so strong it would've been able to take them away easily. "They must have fallen in there." Sky said. 

"Then we have to help them." Bloom said walking towards the edge of the river only to be pulled back by Aisha. "Bloom this river is probably connected to the one that carried me out." Aerilyn nodded. "And even if we did go in there, we'd probably be washed away like them, I can't use my powers to create an air sphere to help us pass." Bloom sighed.

"So we should continue the mission without them?" 

"It's for the best Bloom, if we don't save the pixies now we may never be able to save them again." Diablous said. 

They continued their journey to find the pixies and encountered more of the monsters. Unfortunately, Diablous was becoming drained from all the spells he had to do even if his powers were based on the darkness. They tried to use the seeds but they were unable to grow without sunlight. Likely their favorite sun and moon fairy appeared and managed to allow the seeds to grow and defeat the monsters. Aerilyn felt herself become more drained as the caves began to shake, creating an underground earthquake. 

They managed to escape but were forced back to the surface once more. And the way back was blocked by a mass amount of blouders. Stella couldn't teleport them there and the citadel was miles beneath the earth. She pointed towards the bottom of the valley and said it would probably be there. "Aerilyn can't you use your powers to blast away the rocks or use your senses to figure out where it is?" Sky asked. 

"I wish I could but whatever is down there in those caves drain me the moment I get there, I haven't even used my powers and I feel like I've been using it for hours."
