Chapter 21

We arrive at the throne within minutes. The Trixs look over at us, with dark smirks on their faces. I look over at Daphne, as a look of pure horror appears on her face. If I can somehow protect her and Nissa, then I won't ask for more.

"I'll be taking this," Tritannus says, snatching Nissa from my arms. He places her in a prison of pollution, before locking her up alongside Daphne.

"I'll protect her," Daphne says, shooting me a reassuring look. "I promise..." I anxiously bite my lips, hoping that she could protect Nissa. I nod in response, before lowering my head in defeat.

"Let's go!" Tritannus declares, before looking at Icy, Darcy, and Stormy. I follow right behind them, refusing to lift my head. How can I save Nissa when I'm too weak?

"Where are we going again?" Stormy groans, before crossing her arms in annoyance. Tritannus and Icy completely ignore her. "Some place called the pillar of light," answers Darcy, causing my eyes widen in surprise.

The pillars of the infinite ocean. When I was younger, I read about them in many books. These pillars are wonderful places that help stabilize all of the worlds of the magic dimension. "Tritannus, please," I beg, as he looks over his shoulder at me. "Rethink this decision."

"Why should we?" Icy remarks, glaring at me. I heave a sigh, before meeting her gaze. If anything, I'm not scared of her at all. "It will destroy us along with the entire magic dimension," I state.

"And, why should we believe that?" Darcy mocks, resting her elbow on my shoulder. I glance at her through the corners of my eyes, as a frown appears on my face. "I won't force you to believe me, but it's the truth," I respond.

"Shut up!" Icy groans, crossing her arms in annoyance. I run a hand through my hair, feeling their intense gazes. "If you weren't going to listen to me, then why did you go through all of that trouble for me to help you?" I ask.

"You're right." Tritannus smirks, pointing his trident at me for a moment. "That's why we'll have the Winx stabilize the pillar once we take we need." I scrunch my brow in worry, wondering if they could save the magic dimension by restabilizing the pillar.

A few minutes later, we arrive at the pillar of light. Tritannus swims forward, before pointing his trident at the seal and hitting it off of the pillar. He grabs it, as a triumph smirk forms on his face. Suddenly, the entire magic dimension begins to shake. My eyes flash dangerously, as I clench my trembling fists.

"Not so fast, Tritannus," a familiar voice comes from afar. The Winx approach us, with serious expressions on their faces. The moment they notice me, their eyes widen in shock. "Aqua!?" Bloom shrieks.

"Bloom." I eye her carefully. "Whirlpool!" A powerful beam of water surrounds the Winx, before slamming them to the ground. They struggle to get up, as serious expressions form on their faces. I smirk, knowing that I can't hold back for Nissa's and Daphne's sake.

"Aqua, please..." Flora begs, as I look at her for a moment. "Don't do this...!" I frown, feeling bad about the entire situation. If Nissa wasn't captured by Tritannus, then I wouldn't be here. I would remain hidden in the infinite ocean and be completely neutral.

"Blowing wind!" Rena states. I hold up my hand, putting up a shield before me. They stare nervously at me, as a stern look forms on my face. "It's always the same things with you girls. As for me, I have some new tricks up my sleeve," I say.

Stella eyes me carefully. "You'll pay for this!"

I put my hands on my hips, knowing that they have to save the pillar of light before it's too late. Because of the situation, Stella is the only hope for the magic dimension. I look at the spot where Tritannus and the Trixs were, instantly realizing that they're gone.

"Stella, save the pillar," I say abruptly, which captures their attention. "I know you can do it. Believe in yourself and trust your powers. As for me, I have to go." Before they could react, I quickly swim away. I just hope they can save the pillar before it's too late.
