Ch.1

Valtor moaned in pain as he slowly opened his eyes to look around and tried to recall what had happened for him to be in so much pain, he looked around to see himself surrounded by a thick forest before his eyes widened in shock at his memories came back. The wizard struggled to stand despite his pain and managed to make onto all fours when he realized something was wrong with his body, he looked down to see delicate cloven hooves where his hands should have been while his heart froze in horror. He quickly turned in a circle to see his body was now that of a powerful male deer causing a bit of panic in his mind, he then took a deep breath to calm himself down then focused on his magic to try changing back to his human form only for him to frown. He could feel his magic and the dark dragon flame but he could not access it for some strange reason, Valtor tried two more times to change back only to give it up as lost cause at the moment when he suddenly heard a soft moan of pain off to his right behind a large bush…

Bloom winced at the headache she had as she opened her soft blue eyes before looking around in confusion at the forest around her, Bloom then thought to herself "Ok…what happened and where am I? The last thing I remember is….Valtor and me were going to start fighting when…"

Bloom's eyes widen as her heart shattered from the memory of what happened, "That…That….ASSHOLE! He tricked me into falling for him for the past 2 years only for him to show up with that BITCH and betray me as he told me I meant nothing to him and was only a fling! I can't believe he had Diaspro cast that spell at me while I was in shock but the last thing I remember was someone shielding me just as the spell hit but whom?"

Bloom struggled to stand as she felt hot tears running down her face at what Sky had done, Bloom let out an angry growl as she continued to struggle to stand up when she heard a familiar voice coming from in front of her and off to her left. Bloom quickly turned her head to glare at the Wizard only to freeze at seeing the large male deer in front of her with Valtor's soft grayish blue eyes, the stag's antlers curved towards his back and off to the sides as he stepped closer to Bloom as she heard him repeat his question "Bloom…are you hurt?"

Bloom shook her head as she tried to get up so she could back away only to tumble back down, Bloom felt herself starting to panic as Valtor then nudged her with his muzzle then said "Easy, take a deep breath and calm down. I'll help you stand up after that, ok?"

Bloom looked into his eyes for any sort of trick only to see open honesty then nodded as she followed his advice, Bloom relaxed and sighed as she looked up at him and softly asked "What happened to you to wind up as a deer?"

Valtor sighed angrily and said "That moron who had that Girlfriend of his cast that spell that was aimed at you, I may have been raised by the 3 bitches but I HATE killing innocents thus I mostly used my abilities for finding and collecting Rare scrolls and Items from the Various kingdoms. To be honest…I gave my so called mothers weak copies of the objects and hid the real scrolls and Items to be returned at a later date after copying down a lot of the older spells that had been forgotten and I thought were useful to know. I reacted instinctively and managed to shield you from the full brunt of the spell with an older shield charm, what I can remember is the two spell really didn't react well to each other and then I blacked out only to wake up here as a deer just as you woke up…"

Bloom looked confused as she then said "But….why is it that I able to understand you? I thought you would have to be able to place a spell on that form beforehand for that to happen?"

Valtor looked startled then said in shock, "You haven't noticed? Bloom…I hate to say this but…you're in the same boat as me…."

Bloom blinked then looked down in shock as she realized he was right as she saw delicate cloven hooves where her hands once were and soft reddish gold furred forelegs attached to her hooves, Bloom squeaked and looked back up at him with a helpless gaze as Valtor sighed softly then said "We'll figure this out but first things first….We need to get you standing up and walking."

Bloom nodded then listened to his directions as she managed to get up on her feet and taking a few cautious steps forward, Valtor waited few minutes for Bloom to get the hang of walking then said "Bloom…we should find some shelter for now. It looks like the sun is starting to set and a lot of Predators tend to hunt at night…I've already tried using my own magic but I can't at the moment so it's probably the same for you…"

Bloom nodded then sighed sadly as she said "I can't believe I trusted that moron…"

Valtor winced then sighed as he said "To be honest…he probably wasn't even the right guy for you anyways."

Bloom blinked then looked at him in shocked amusement as she said "Were you trying to cheer me up?"

Valtor felt his face go red as he quickly looked away and said "I'm just telling the truth…"

He then felt Bloom nuzzle his shoulder gently before hearing the soft words of "Thank you, Valtor…especially for shielding me earlier…"

Valtor gave Bloom a small smile and said "Think nothing of it, Bloom. To be honest…we are two halves of a whole. Your Dragon Flame represents Life and Order itself while my Dark Dragon Flame represents Death and Chaos which they help keeps the Balance of the Universe itself."

Bloom smiled then kept quiet as they continued through the forest in comfortable silence in search of a shelter for the night, they had been walking for about 2 ½ hours when they heard a sound that sent chills down their spines as Valtor said with a hint of concern to his voice "We need to go….Now!"

Bloom nodded as the sound of Wolves howling got closer as they fled deeper into the forest while bounding over fallen trees and some bushes that were in their way, Valtor then stopped as his ears swiveled then said "Bloom, this way! I hear a River or stream that we can use to lose them!"

The two magic users dashed towards the large stream they could now see just as a pack of 8-10 wolves burst through the foliage behind them, Valtor started to enter the water when he heard Bloom scream and turned to see two wolves had managed to cut her off from him. Anger coursed through his body as he snorted then lowered his head as he charged the two wolves and knocked them on to their sides away from Bloom, He snorted and stood protectively in front of the Earth raised Princess as the wolves snarled before attacking. Valtor was quick to use his antlers, hooves and teeth to deliver a beat-down to the wolves as 8 of them turned tail and ran, Valtor then heard Bloom cry for him to look out just as a sharp, agonizing pain made itself known on his right thigh. Valtor quickly gave a sharp kick and heard a satisfying yelp as the last wolf got kicked in the head and was now following the other wolves to find easier prey, Valtor sighed then placed weight on his right back leg only to let out a pained yelp at the shooting pain that movement had caused.

Bloom was in shock but quickly snapped out of it at hearing Valtor's cry of pain as she moved towards him with worry in her eyes, she moved to look at the leg that was injured and winced at the deep bite mark that was bleeding sluggishly as she said "We need to get that wound cleaned…."

Valtor nodded then turned as he limped towards the stream and entered the water before laying down so the water could clean and numb the wound with how chilly the water was, Bloom then made her way to him and nuzzled his neck as she said "Thank you for saving me…that was really brave of you to take on all them at once."

Valtor just smiled at her before standing with a wince as he then said "Hopefully we can find some shelter soon. I don't want to know what else could possibly be living in this forest that's a predator…"

Bloom nodded and asked "You going to be ok?"

"I'll be fine for now…"

1 hour later….

Bloom sighed as she laid her head in relief at the shelter they had found, the thicket was just the right size for her and Valtor fit in and was hidden behind two large boulders that had only enough room for them to squeeze through comfortably between them, she then looked to her left and saw Valtor had fallen asleep as he gave a soft sigh. Bloom smiled then laid back down as she yawned quickly drifted into slumber…

Bloom's dreamscape…

Bloom blinked as she found herself standing in Domino's throne room before the 3 witches had destroyed it and saw a welcomed figure standing before the thrones, Bloom beamed and cried out "Daphne!"

Daphne smiled sadly and said "Hello little sister…"

Bloom hurried over to her sister with a smile as Daphne chuckled then turned serious as she said "Bloom, are you alright? I've been trying contact you for the past 2 days…"

Bloom froze and said "Wait…2 DAYS?!"

Daphne nodded with a worried look and then asked Bloom to tell her what happened, Bloom nodded and told her everything that she remembered before waking up and then what had happened once she regained consciousness causing Daphne to look horrified and worried for her little sister. Daphne then sighed and said "Bloom…I need you and Valtor to be careful. I don't even know what could have caused the spells to react like that but both of you need to get near either Cloud Tower or Alfea for help to break the spell on both of you. As for Skylar…I'll figure out a way to deal with him and that fiancée of his myself after what he pulled. Please be careful and tell Valtor I say thank you for protecting you against the wolves."

Bloom nodded as she realized the dreamscape was fading and then said "I will Daphne. I love you big sister!"

The last thing Bloom heard as the dreamscape completely faded was "I know you do, Bloom…I love you too."

Bloom slowly opened her eyes and raised her head up with a yawn when she noticed Valtor was gone, she quickly stood up and called his name as she heard him call from outside the thicket. She quickly went to see him and found him walking towards her with a large branch of wild berries in his mouth, Valtor stopped in front of her as he placed the branch on the ground and smiled sheepishly as he said "I found breakfast…"

Bloom blinked then started giggling as she thanked him with a smile before asking how his leg was, Valtor sighed and said "It's still a bit sore….but I'll manage."

Bloom nodded then gave a small sigh as she told Valtor about her dream talk with her sister Daphne, Valtor looked startled at hearing it had been two days since they had blasted by the two spells interacting then had got a slightly worried look as he started thinking. Valtor then sighed and said "Then we best get moving…if what your sister said is correct, we're probably somewhere near Cloud Tower, Alfea or Magix city so it would make sense to head there."

Bloom nodded then asked "But which one of the schools should we get to help us?"

"Knowing our possible luck, it will probably be both schools that we'll need to help us."

Bloom nodded then they both began to eat the berries on the branch as Valtor began to think on how to keep Bloom safe and at least get her back to normal, Valtor was startled out of his thoughts as him and Bloom accidently pressed their noses then their lips as they had reached for the same berry at the same time. Bloom and Valtor froze only a minute before they backed away from each other with quick apologies to one another, Valtor could feel his whole body grow warm from embarrassment as he then gave coughed softly and said "We should probably get going…"

Bloom nodded shyly and then they both headed away from their rest stop in their effort to find one of the schools to help them get back to normal…
