The Last Defense

Summary: Set pre-series. "The Ancestral Witches have threatened the Infinite Ocean girls. This isn't easy for me to ask but will you as Nymphs of the Magic Dimension undertake the Sirenix Quest to help protect the World Pillars and prevent them from gaining the power of the Emperor's Throne?"

Disclaimer: I do not own Winx Club

Authoress's Notes: Written because I wanted to give Daphne a reason for obtaining Sirenix. Somehow 'I obtained Sirenix to defend Domino', isn't exactly the best reason to obtain it, especially since the Winx defeated the Ancestral Witches by using Believix, which is definitely not as strong as Sirenix. If they could use a lower fairy form to defeat them, then Daphne's Enchantix could have done the same.

This is set about two months before Domino's Fall.

The woman clad in robes of red and gold raised the golden crescent-moon shaped staff in her hand and brought it down on the smooth marble floor with a bang. The silver ring which she wore on her ring finger ,the symbol of her nymph-hood , seemed to pulse with an inner light ,while golden bangles adorned her wrists. The Nymphs of Magix who had gathered around her stopped whispering at once and looked at her with trepidation.

This wasn't good. The Supreme Nymph never summoned a war council unless they were facing a serious threat, and though everyone knew that the Ancestral Witches had launched an all-out attack on the Magic Dimension, they had never thought that they would be threatened so soon.

After all, they were protected by the powers of the Great Dragon and in their midst were Daphne and Politea, two of the strongest fairies in the whole universe, and as a result no one had dared to attack them, but then again the Ancestresses weren't your average witches.

Born of the darkness of the Obsidian Dimension, they had started terrorizing the Magic Dimension with the hope that the Royal Family of Domino would cave in and hand over the power of the Dragon's Flame.

They hadn't had any luck though as the rest of the planets had united forces with Domino and started to fortify their realms, with Callisto, Solaria and Atlanta being their strongest allies.

"Girls, as you know the Ancestral Witches have claimed the right to the power of the Dragon's Flame and have attacked our home realms as we've allied ourselves with Domino. Even though your training as nymphs is incomplete, I must ask you to return until we can find a way to neutralize this threat forever."

The whispering resumed and Pentheselia looked at them with despair. This wasn't how things were supposed to be. The Guardian Fairies of the Realms had agreed to help the Nymphs protect the Temples of the Great Dragon and their treasures, especially the one in Lake Roccaluce from them but when they were needed the most, they had abandoned them.

Pentheselia cleared her throat and said, "Nymphs of Magix! We shall not bow down to the terror the Ancestresses are bent on spreading throughout the dimensions. As nymphs and guardians of our worlds we shall stand up for the virtues that have been ingrained in us since our births and defend our homes until our dying breaths. The witches shall not succeed in their mad quest for power."

The Nymphs cheered and Pentheselia gave them permission to dismiss.

As Daphne and Politea were about to leave though, she said "Girls, not you. I have a special task for you two. Follow me."

Politea looked at Daphne who shrugged and they followed her silently through passageways they were sure they wouldn't have stepped foot in for a very long time, if it hadn't been for the danger that was threatening them all.

They stopped before golden double doors which were embossed with pictures of the Great Dragon. Pentheselia raised he hands began to speak, "I am Pentheselia, Supreme Nymph of Magix and Guardian of all that is holy. We seek entrance into the chamber of the Nymphs."

Daphne's eyes widened as she felt immense power radiate from the slender red haired, blue-green eyed woman. The door began to glow with a fierce light and it opened slowly as a sonorous voice said, "I have looked into the hearts of you and your companions, and have found you worthy. You may enter."

As they entered the room, the glow faded and the doors closed slowly.

"I have called you both here because I believe that only you two are capable of handling this quest. You are both immensely powerful; being the guardians of the Dragon's Flame and Water Stars respectively, and have proven your worth countless times."

Politea hesitantly asked, "What is the quest you speak of, Supreme Guardian?"

Pentheselia sighed and said, "The Ancestral Witches have threatened the Infinite Ocean, girls. This isn't easy for me to ask but will you as Nymphs of the Magic Dimension undertake the Sirenix Quest to help protect the World Pillars and prevent them from gaining the power of the Emperor's Throne?"

And cut!

So tell me what you think about it. I know it's not my best work but I needed to write this. So please read and review!

And no you didn't read wrong, Politea is the fairy of the water stars. As for where she's from, well you'll probably find out in the next chapter.
