Prologue: Don't Forget to Remember Me

Over twenty years have passed since the girls and specialists graduated and began the task of starting the rest of their lives. It is at this point that they all began to realize that school didn't teach them everything they needed to know.

Despite the ever-occasional protest from a disgruntled consulate member, Topaz and Sapphire continued to rule the realm of Endor. Two years after their marriage, a daughter named Amethyst was born to them, providing an heir to the Endorian throne. Around the same time, Sapphire finally got to meet the man responsible for her existence: King Oritel of Domino. Though the relationship got off to an understandably rocky start, both Oritel and his wife Miriam came to accept the young witch as part of their family and a trusted trade ally. Three years after Amethyst arrived, Topaz and Saph welcomed a pair of twin girls, Amber and Lapis, into the family. The twins were followed by a son, Onyx, a little over a year later. During this time Topaz re-established trade relations with Domino and strengthened ties with Andros and Melody. Relations with Isis remain strained, however.

Thorn and Anakin married just after graduation and settled down to a quiet life on Linphea. Anakin balances working at a local landscaping company and worrying over his family quite nicely, while Thorn busied herself with teaching music lessons and touring with the rest of the Hex Girls. The pair have two children, Lorelei and Jason, who are 16 months apart. Thanks in part to being a part of a musical band comprised of coven-mates, Thorn, Sapphire, Dusk, and Luna remained close through the ensuing years. Aside from the occasional spat over lyrics or musical style, the four witches still get along splendidly.

After a lengthy courtship, Dusk and Russell got hitched moved onto the main planet in the Solarian system. Russell is a consultant to parliament, while Dusk runs a sign-design business on Solaria, and tours with the other Hex Girls when everyone can find time to put into a new album or reunion tour. Their son, Douglas, arrived three years after they moved back to Solaria. Thanks to an influential "Aunt" Sapphire and his father's own prominence as a politician, Doug spent a lot of time in the company of the children in the Solarian Royal Court. Since he is his parent's only child, he was a fair bit spoiled as a youngster. Somehow, though, he gained a sense of level-headed logic that few can argue with. Though she maintains a good relationship with her cousin, both Dusk and Luna still get into arguments over the phone.

Unlike her cousin, Luna left Solaria and moved with Kyle to Eraklion. While Kyle began plying his heroic training as a bouncer at one of Eraklion's hottest night clubs, Luna threw herself into her career as the Hex Girls' drummer and took up a second job within the record company that originally signed the band. She's now a publicist and talent scout for Hyjinx Records. They had a son, Raphael, only a year after getting married, and welcomed a daughter, Twila, two years after his arrival. When they're not busy at work, Kyle, Luna, and the kids can be found at outdoor festivals, movie premiers, and school functions like bake sales and car washes.

The Trix witches, however, never found their happily ever after. During the last battle they fought with the Winx, Darcy suffered a severe injury, from which she died not long after. Disheartened by the loss of their relative, Icy, Stormy, and Chloe (1) were never seen in the spotlight again. A string of poor choices, both in men and with their money, left them exiles in a far corner of the known realms, near the Diastolic Belt. (2)

Icy, known for her evil schemes and ego, was blinded by the charms of a wizard from the Poseidon Nebula named Edward. After a brief but intense two month fling, he left her out of money and dependent on her sister and cousin to help raise their daughter Veronica.

Chloe fared a bit better than her ambitious relative. Instead of being the charmed, she was the charmer. One devotion potion and a few suggestive phrases and Gerald of Cydonia met her at the other end of a wedding isle. But the marriage was short lived. Once Gerald learned he had been spelled, he left Chloe and their six month old daughter Leila for good.

Stormy, it seemed, had the worst luck of the three girls. Instead of picking a mate at a bar (like Icy) or spelling one to fall in love with her, she actually tried finding someone who would support her. She even went so far as to conceal her identity from the men she tried to engage, making them more trusting of her. Alexis of Splendora, a shopkeeper, proposed to her once he learned she was pregnant…but after learning her true identity, he broke off their engagement and called the police, forcing her to abandon both that realm and any hope she had of finding a mate.

Hardened by these new, un-welcomed experiences, the Trix coven began to plot revenge. They wanted to make the whole universe pay for what they'd been through. They hungered to avenge their fallen sister/cousin's death. And, most importantly, they wanted power. But, realizing that they had grown too old and too well-known to enact the subtlety their plan called for, they enlisted their young daughters for the task. All three girls took to the plot like a fish to water. The nature of the plot is yet unknown, but whatever it is, it's bound to be dangerous, dastardly, and deadly.
