Bloom POV

I saw my mother come out of my father's sword. I was so excited! I got to meet my parents formally today. I slowly flew up to them and now deeply. "My King and Queen, I congratulate you on returning from Obsidian. I am Bloom, leader of the Winx," I introduced. "May your kingdom flourish."

"May the stars look upon you in grace, Bloom. We thank you for bringing us back to Magix. Our people we be forever in debt to the Winx," Oritel decreed.

"It was nothing. It is our duty to protect the magical dimension. May we introduce ourselves," Bloom asked.

"Of course, my dear," Marion said.

"I am Princess Bloom of Domino."

"I am Princess Aisha of Tides."

"I am Princess Musa of Melody."

"I am Princess Flora of Limphea."

"I am Princess Tecna of Zenith."

"I am Princess Stella of Solaria."

"We are the Winx, Protectors of the Magical Dimension! 'Tis our duty to balance out the good and evil," we all declared.

Everyone except the Specialists and Daphne stood there in shock. Never once has there been a group of all princesses that were so strong in both power and bonds. Marion and Oritel were gaping at me. I wondered what I had said to make them stare at me so much.

"Princess Bloom?" Marion asked.

"Yes, that was the name that my parents picked out for me. I am the Fairy of the Dragon Flame. Is something wrong Queen Marion of Domino?" I questioned.

"I believe that my baby daughter was named Bloom. She had the same power."

"I know."

"Oh? And how do you know this?"

"I am that child. You have been gone for eighteen years."

"That's impossible," she protested and instantly my face lost its confidence. It was replaced with sheer hurt and pain. My mother doesn't believe me or hates me. "My Bloom was killed eighteen years ago when the Ancient Witches attacked Domino. You are an imposter. You could never be Princess Bloom."

My friends and sister gasped in shock. They never knew my mother, but they were shocked that the queen would be so disrespectful towards me. My eyes filled with tears, and I took off Daphne's mask I still wore. I turned toward my sister.

"Daphne, please take your mask back. I no longer require it. It is to be worn by one of the Princesses of Domino. I am not one now. My mother just disowned me. I must go, but please visit me soon," I whispered sadly and turned toward the Royals. "Queen and King of Domino, I must take my leave. I am need somewhere else," my voice broke as I formally bid them farewell.

I slowly flew away from Domino. I transported to Lake Roccaluce. I fell down onto the floor of Daphne's cave and sobbed.

Daphne POV

I was infuriated that mother would do such a thing. She just disowned her own child because she was too stubborn to accept that Bloom had grown up.

"Father, do you agree with mother?" I asked desperately.

"Yes, Princess Daphne, there is no way that girl is Bloom. Even though she looked like Marion, it may be glamours," my father told me.

"My King and Queen," I said with such venom they flinched, "you do realize that you disowned your one and only heir? Yes, she was indeed Bloom. You just broke her. You have no idea what you have done! I and all her friends can vouch for her. The whole Company of Light can vouch too. You may be Royalty and leaders of the Company of Light, but you are foolish! You have no idea what you did to my sister and I. Winx, Specialists, please explain how Bloom is their daughter."

"Of course, Daphne," Sky said politely although he was boiling with anger.

"King and Queen of Domino, let us talk about this in a more private area. I do not think that being yelled at in front of the kingdom is a good idea," Flora said quietly.

"Yes of course, Princess Flora. We shall lead you to our private quarters," the king told them.

"My King and Queen, I must go recharge my powers. Perhaps when I come back, you will realize your wrongdoing," I explained dangerously calm.

I teleported back to Lake Roccaluce. I heard faint whimpers and sobs in the back of my cave. I slowly drifted over to where the heart-breaking sounds are. To my dismay, I see Bloom, the strong confident leader of the Winx, breaking down. Violent sobs rack her body, and I can't not comfort my beloved sister. I hugged her tightly while she sobbed into my ethereal chest.

"Bloom, all will be well. I promise," I cooed. "Mother and Father will realize their mistake and accept you. Please don't cry, baby sister."

"D-Daphne, it hurts so much. She h-hates m-me. She thinks I l-lied to her. F-Father probably believes her too. It's all my fault! I shouldn't have told them straight away!" Bloom sobbed.

I just held her until she stopped balling. Even though I'm not there in body, I still embraced her. No matter what, I am her older sister, and I will stand by her side, especially after all she has done.

"Dearest sister, what happened to the strong, courageous leader I know?"

"She broke when her parents thought she was a liar, an impostor. She is now just a useless girl that is hated. I might as well go back home," I replied bitterly.

"That's a wonderful! Shall I go to tell our parents?" I asked. I was so happy that she was ready to face her insecurity and the person who broke her.

"No, Daphne. Not to Domino. I am going home to Gardenia, Earth. There is nothing for me anymore. Sky can still visit and so can you, but I don't think I can bare one more moment here. It seems as if history is repeating itself. Once during Alfea and now. Good bye, Princess Daphne of Domino." She flashed out quickly, and I silently promised to see her again.
