After the crazy one night stand over dance the brawlers where left as topics of giggles and attention. The magical place as supposedly it was provided them with hot showers and earth designed but luxurious bathrooms but the brawlers were much tensed about the behaviour of Mr and Mrs Rost and anis and were now in tension like drago was in before about what was going on in the palace. They secretly assembled and started talking after the strange takeover of the behaviours of the hosts of party and were keen to find out the real reasons over the party and tournament.

Julie: guys, this is really strange. Mrs. Anis said she was the host of the party and now ace says that she was afraid of someone and ran away leaving us in the hallway?

Marucho: this place is full of secrets if observed closely we better be careful, aren't we guys?

Billy: something's suspicious, here. I think a little spying could do with the hitch.

Drago: I said you guys I haven't heard of any such tournament, and if anyone had ever been here truly then there are two options. The first that 1) they never returned; and the second 2) that they wanted to keep it a sort of secret.

Dan: why would anyone hide the news of such a grand tournament?

Unesca: this is strange.

Shun: this is all in total a mystery, a profound deadly one.

Runo: guys, should we ask Mrs. Anis to leave to see someone and then never return?

Tigerra: we could then escape!

Billy: you think we could try that risk out?

Alice: I don't think so. You remember, we were sucked into here by portal, and I bet we could fall into the same situation again and again. Well let's go out of this palace, we need some fresh air indeed. We'll stay together and give Mrs. Anis the justification of our need of fresh air and curiosity.

"Yep" all agreed.

The group was in all much tensed mood but decided to together ask out to Mrs. Anis about the strolling in fresh air and Mrs. Anis granted them the permission after an intense interview and questioning and gave them the time limit of one hour walking in the grand garden but also eyeing them suspiciously in every twitch and move regarding their behaviour but were guarded off by Dan saying it as the effects of last night's drink.

They exited an extremely large door to enter into a garden which they couldn't believe what they saw with their eyes.

The garden extremely large filled with flowers of more than million colours and shade and thousand of aroma possibly intoxicating the whole atmosphere. The thrill inside them was driving them so crazy that they were suppressing the urge to scream and to jump. The sky was lightest shade of pink and blue. Roses were crimson and peach pink colours grounded their front in rows.

Marucho: guys, this is..

Julie: unbelievable.

Just as the two moved one more step forward suddenly several fairy like structures emerged in tearing the thin air.

One of the pixies: hey you, how dare you step in between the pixies beautiful garden?

Julie: the what?

Marucho: what are you?!

Pixie: well we are the flower pixies or often called flaries. And who are you to ask us for our introduction standing in our territory?

Marucho: flaries?

Another pixie: hey I think these are those kids were same as the ones dancing in the ball room like crazy! They spoiled madam mizell's party!

All were red now and too angry and cried "you all are far too mischievous young men; you made master angry! She scolded us for changing the party theme to disco suddenly but it was on your demand! yyoouuu!"

Then all flaries lunged forward at marucho and Julie but were stopped when other brawlers dashed forward to protect them. One of the flaries saw the lavender-crimson necklace around Alice's neck and cried in gasp "oh my great lord" to which all of the scene goes to a halt and all the flaries screamed "what happened?"

The flarie who gasped answered "see guys the crystal, she's the heir..."

Her words were interrupted by a dashing Mr. Rost who came and ordered the flaries to go which they followed very hesitantly throwing amazed and softened looks at Alice. Mr. Rost then said them to continue their travel and said sorry for the inconvenience and was pretty much sorry as he sounded. The brawlers quickly left and roamed around the garden and noticed flaries gossiping and staring mostly at Alice while doing their work of watering but they were more busy enjoying when masquerade shrieked "hey guys wanna see what I found here?"

All of them rushed to masquerade who was standing in one of the corners of the garden behind the secluded areas surrounded by great rocks which were shimmering a little silver. Then they saw a door of maybe an engraved painting of a door on the smallest boulder. It was big enough for people more than 3x times their heights all together to fit in. They all gasped at the surprise unknown door or the embossed painting which shone there.

Dan: what is it? It looks like a painting of a door or secret door, isn't it?

Runo: this place is filled up of mysteries guys.

Marucho and masquerade neared the door and examined it carefully.

Marucho: it's a door guys, see I can see a lock type thing here.

Marucho was right. It was a secret door. The lock was strange as it had a small hole in it. It was probably fit for a diamond to enter it. Just then Alice came running in with a rose in her hair and said "hey guys those pixies aren't that bad. They were playing with me and gave me this rose too. Sorry I came late I think"

Just when Julie was about to answer her she came a little forward to see the door and her quickest reaction to it was her hand held her head as some pictures were flashing there. The picture of the persons in her dream...tiara...lien...Alice...crown...magic...the photo in Alice's house...and the locket. She was seemingly hypnotised, her eyes went golden and her hand went up automatically to touch the door until she gained her consciousness and saw herself touching the door. Immediately the door turned from an engraved figure on the rock to a real one; a door made up of silver on which gold and platinium carvings were totally evolved. it was embedded with emeralds and pearls and was simply an antique legend. Alice was so stunned she couldn't take her eyes off it when a pair of soft and warm hands pulled her apart from it.

Shun: are you okay? *he asks confused*

Alice: what happened?

Dan: you went towards the door like you were hypnotised, your eyes turned amber gold and the crystal on that locket started to glow out. Then the door turned into a real one. Strange.

Julie: The eyes colour was beautiful but the transformation was scary. It was... It was like you were lost in another world.

Runo*shakes alice*: Alice say something!

Masquerade: it's our last chance of revealing the mystery. Well marucho can you open that lock?

Marucho: no chance without the key...but...julie can you give me a hair pin?

Julie: for sure, but better be careful, okay?

Marucho: it's fine for me Julie.

Marucho enters the pin in the lock to find that it is not a lock but a tiny space for something to be inserted, therefore takes out the pin quickly.

"It isn't a lock but is a keyhole guys, it's like... there's something missing... see there as I think must be an object which when inserted in its place back would open the door, it can be...alice!" says masquerade but is crossed by runo.

Runo: marucho have you left your mink at your home? How could Alice fit inside that hole?

Marucho: Alice your necklace, can you give that to me?

Alice gives the necklace to marucho who then inserts it at the doors hole but nothing happens. Then Alice talks to marucho,

"Let me try marucho" said Alice.

Marucho pulls the necklace stone out of the hole and gives it to Alice who then goes there, kneels at the door and inserts the stone. Bright dazzling lights appear and then vanish to take in view of a tunnel. Alice finds her necklace on her neck again. And then looks back at marucho with a grin.

Marucho: strange... I put it inside but it came only when you put it.. Alice, I'll try to snatch that locket from you, could you cooperate?

Alice: please marucho be careful, I've the only Remembrall left of my mother.

"But where did you get it Alice? You didn't wear it on the day of get-together and it can't be your mothers if you got it from the wardrobe then where did you get it?" Asked masquerade

Alice: I'll explain later, now marucho's doubt and this tunnel is more important.

Marucho tries to snatch Alice's necklace but a bright light appears and he's thrown out. Marucho says that he'll worry about the necklace afterwards but first then turn to go down the tunnel. They all climb down the stairs along the tunnel but at a particular moment the stair end and the fall in that mysterious tunnel which seems to have no end.

Where will that mysterious tunnel take them?
