Author's Note: so this is an older story of mine that I started about 2 years ago. I finally decided to post it here, because the idea was an interesting one. The main thing I want to clarify here is that the virus, and the idea of 10 seals, was based off of one of the same name form the t.v. show "Supernatural". Other than that, I hope you enjoy this story.
One year ago, the Trix stole the dragon fire from the fairy known as Bloom, and raised the ancient army that only those living during the beginning's of Magix could have known about: the army of decay. It was filled with demons, and monsters that people could only describe as beings from Hell. The Trix led the army through the lands, destroying Redfountain, the city of Magix, and even Cloudtower in their wake. The only hope of their world being saved, rested in the abilities of Bloom.
In her time of need, Bloom turned to her headmistress, Miss Faragonda for assistance. Faragonda took her under a lake in Domino to see Daphne, her older sister, where Bloom learned that there was another dragon fire flame in the palace of Domino. She and her friends went there, and she soon regained her powers, traveling back to Alfea to help defeat the Trix and their army.
However, even though she fought valiantly, Bloom lost to the Trix's leader, Icy, and all remaining fairies, specialists, and witches had to retreat; Alfea soon being consumed by the army's strength and numbers. Once the whole planet of Magix had been taken over, the Trix saw it fit that they become the new leaders of this broken, and ravaged world.
They kept the army at their side, just in case anyone dare to rebel against their rule. Once they established their kingdom, known as the Necropolis, they soon thought about what to do with the remaining fairies and specialists.
Darcy, the most malevolent, and mischievous of the three sisters, thought of releasing an incurable virus onto the dwindling population. Her two sisters agreed with this, and soon sent a few of the monsters to capture a host. Once on had been acquired, the three planted the disease on the victim and soon released them, where they would quickly rejoin their former group.
A few days later, reports of this specific community killing each other began to spread. The virus soon found itself in other lone factions, and each time the result was the same. The virus was soon given the name Croatoan, after the name of a former Earth tribe who merely vanished during the Aztec period (some people speculated that the cause of this disappearance was due to disease, thus the name was born).
The contagion worked quickly, and its effects were simple: the infected person would begin by acting aggressive, and seemed easy to aggravate. Eventually, their aggression would increase, a full transformation taking place in under 24 hours. The infected, now known as "Croats", killed or infected anything anything that came in their path.
A few weeks after the Croatoan virus had been put in place, the Trix realized that word of the infection, and of their rule over Magix, would reach the ears of those less favorable enemies within the magical dimension. They knew that if others came to help, there would be full scale war, and they were not prepared for that. As a precaution, they soon encased Magix in a powerful bubble made of dark magic; nothing being able to get in, or out of of the planet.
Due to this difficult, and hostile environment, the population of survivors soon dwindled into a mere handful. Those who managed to remain alive during the pandemic, now live in an area known as "The Safe Haven". It is a small community made up of a few witches, fairies, specialists, and teachers of the three schools.
The Trix remain the tyrannical rulers of Magix. They have put all those who resisted them in their place, and now they are finally deciding to put their ultimate plan into action. Rumors have been floating around that the three witches are planning to unleash an unseen, and powerful horror from beyond. The survivors do not know much about this creature, but what they do know is that the Trix will have to break 10 seals that are keeping it locked away. While some believe that these rumors are untrue, fear still lingers in their hearts; everyone hoping that something, or someone, will put a stop to it all.
Which is where the story begins...in the area known as Safe Haven, there lived a group of girls famous for their accomplishments and powers. They went by many names, but, they were best known as: the Winx Club.
