The girls arrived at the Carven of the Lost a few hours later. It was large and dark inside. No one bothered to go ahead and enter the cave. At least not right away.
"This is the cavern of the lost. So who wants go in first?" Stella asked. Bloom took a few steps into the cave and disappeared.
"Bloom!" Sky shouted. He began to walk into the cave when Bloom reappeared.
"Bloom where did you go?" Stella asked.
"You guys, the cave is a portal. I went through and I saw the temple of the nymphs. Come on." Bloom went first and everyone went behind her. They walked through the portal and when they looked up they saw the temple of the nymphs.
The walked up to the temple and when they went inside where they ended up in a large corridor lined with marble columns. At the end of the corridor sat a nymph. The girls lowly walked up the corridor with their boyfriends at their sides.
"State your business." The nymph said. She was a very pale blue color. There was a table on both sides of her. The table to the left had a black orb sitting on it and the table to the left a blue orb, which was slightly smaller.
"We've come from Alfea School and we are trying to find the nymph who placed a curse on Darkar." Bloom spoke to her.
"You have travelled far. You see these orbs that sit to my left and my right, these are the orbs of darkness and light. The orb of darkness is increasing meaning the darkness in this universe is growing as well. Unfortunately I cannot help you. The nymph you seek, Opierna was banished when she placed that curse and created Darkar. I am sorry." The nymph waved her hand and sent the group back to Alfea.
"You may not have found the nymph we are looking for but you did manage to recover two important pieces of information. Darkness is taking over the Magic dimension so we don't have much time. Let's head to the library and see if we can find any more information on Opierna." Faragonda lead the group to the library. She placed her hand on a golden pedestal and spoke Opierna's name. They waited for a few moments but nothing happened.
"It seems that we don't have any information regarding our nymph." Faragonda said turning to face the others.
"Then what do we do?" Bloom asked. There had to be something but what?
"I'll talk to Griffin and see if she can find anything in the magical archives at cloud tower about Opierna." Faragonda waved her hand transporting everyone to her office. "If you can give me a moment." Faragonda waved her hand and a hologram of miss griffin appeared in the room.
"Griffin, its Faragonda. Do you have a moment?" She asked.
"Faragonda what can I do for you?" Griffin asked.
"I was wondering if you had any information in your archives about a nymph, named Opierna." Faragonda asked.
"Why don't you come down and check for yourselves Faragonda." Griffin offered. Faragonda took the offer and with a wave of her hand had transported everyone to the cloud tower archives. Faragonda walked over to a large book. It was a pale blue book with strange writing in it.
"Show me Opierna." Faragonda said. Suddenly the room began to spin. Cloud tower disappeared and they ended up in a strange place. The walls were all decrepit and old. Spider webs seemed to be the only decoration on the walls. An eerie dark creature lurked in the shadows. Slowly it crept out the shadow and into the little light that was in the room.
"Is that Opierna?" Stella asked looking at the figure before it disappeared into the shadows.
"It is and I know where we can find her." Faragonda snapped her fingers and they reentered the Cloud tower archives.
"The trip will be dangerous. You will have to face many challenges getting there. Opierna is located in the black mountains. The only way to get there is by going through the Giant's pass, but be careful. You must be on the lookout for any challenge you may come up against. You are going to need this.
She handed them a small, red box. Inside the box was a piece of glass. There was nothing extraordinary about the glass.
"What's this miss Faragonda?" Flora asked picking up the glass.
"Be careful with it. You'll understand when the time is right, now no more dilly dallying." Faragonda shooed them out of her office.
