Before Taivas left, he told Dotty and the newly arrived Zen to protect Briar Rose. While protecting the princess, the three friends would go to Maleficent’s castle to stop her reign of terror. He was sure that Zen could protect her while he was away. The three left, but Taivas wondered if his friends knew where Maleficent’s castle was.[color=00aeef]“So do you guys even know where Maleficent’s castle is?” [/color] He asked, which made Adian turn to face him. 

“When we first landed and started investigating, we found where her castle is located. But to get inside undetected, we must take a secret path into the dungeons. It’s a good thing we also learned where this secret entrance is.” Adian kept walking with Xera, speaking up. 

“So Taivas, do you remember what happened to our world?” She asked, but Taivas just shook his head. “The heartless invaded our world, and the darkness got you before we could escape. We escaped in Adian’s ship and travelled to a nearby world. Where we learned about the heartless and how to stop them. And our investigation led us here to you.” She said, sounding like she was going to cry. She was saddened knowing that her home and loved ones were gone forever. But at least she had Adian and Taivas.  

The three friends were now in a clearing and could see the looming shadow of Maleficent’s castle in the distance. According to Taivas, they would go through the nearby catacombs, which were located in a nearby cemetery. From there, they would use the castle's sewers to enter the dungeons. The three of them moved from the clearing and into the graveyard. Taivas and Xera were scanning the area in case Heartless would try to ambush them. Adian founded the mausoleum that would lead to the catacombs. 

Adian broke open the door with his weapon, and once inside, he and Taivas pushed the tomb aside, revealing a large hole underneath. Taivas looked up at his friends, worried that the plan would fail. [color=00aeef]“Are you sure this plan is gonna work?” [/color] He asked Adian as he was slowly lowering himself down the hole. But he stopped midway to respond. 

“Well, it’s better than nothing, unless you wanna use the front door.” He smiled, which made Taivas scold him. He didn’t want this plan to fail and lose his friends again. But he had some hope that Adian and, to an extent, Xera knew what they were doing. Soon, the group of friends descended into the hole and found themselves inside the catacombs. There was the faint scent of death and decay in the air.  Now they would have to be careful, there might be heartless waiting to ambush them. Xera cast a spell to illuminate their path. The group started making their way further inside the catacombs.
