I have had this idea for a while where Tecna develops some kind of condition after a fatal battle with the Trix, but this allows me to try my hand at writing a bit about the other couples as well. This is going to be mainly a TecnaXTimmy story, but with a bit of Flora and Helia and some of the others as well. Hope you enjoy.

Life Force

Chapter One: Misfortune

In a beautiful, nature filled realm known as Lynphea, the king and queen ruled with generous and loving hearts. However, King Helia and Queen Flora longed to have children to carry on their title as rulers of the all natural planet. Unfortunately when they consulted the royal doctors, they regretted to inform Flora that she was unable to conceive a child, and the next best thing if they wanted an heir to the throne would be to adopt. Days later, on a seemingly starry night, Helia took his beloved wife on a stroll through the Enchanted Park in the centre of the Green City of Lynphea.

"Thank you for trying to cheer me up, Helia." Flora sighed, "This isn't entirely bad, it gives an unfortunate child a chance at a better life."

"And it's a brilliant way to show the people of Lynphea just how much we care about their future." He agreed.

"I don't think we need to prove anything else to them, the people of Lynphea already have our full trust and reliability." Flora pointed out, in turn, her husband just smiled and kissed her on the lips. Suddenly and unexpectedly, clouds began to surround the previously clear skies, and soon enough it was down pouring.

"We should probably head back home, dear." Helia suggested as they turned around on the path towards their carriage. On their way back out of the park, Flora began to hear a noise.

"The voice of nature is telling me that someone desperately needs our help." She told Helia worriedly as he started to listen closely to where the sound was coming from.

"Just stay here my sweet rose, if there's something dangerous up ahead I'll defend you." He insisted, and Flora just cooed, this was why she fell in love with him in the first place, he was so valiant. Walking up ahead off the path in the pouring rain, Helia froze mid step when he saw a tiny infant, wrapped in a purple blanket, next to a tree.

"Flora, come look at this!" He called out, and she immediately ran over to her husband.

"Oh, the poor thing's soaking wet," she replied, taking the young baby in her arms.

"It's a girl," Helia observed, "but she doesn't look like she's from Lynphea, the magenta hair says it all."

"We have to bring her back to the castle and have the doctors take a look at her. They might be able to tell us where she came from." Flora rocked the baby girl in her arms as Helia helped her to her feet.

"I'm surprised I didn't hear her crying at all." He thought, "you'd think she'd be frightened, being out here on her own."

"She is frightened, Helia, the poor thing is trembling," Flora replied softly, "don't be scared, sweetie, no one's going to hurt you." Once the royal couple of Lynphea reached their carriage, Flora continued to rock the baby in her arms to try and lull her to sleep, being the kind and caring nature fairy she was, she was willing to do anything for this helpless child.

When Flora and Helia returned to their palace with the baby, it didn't take long for the royal doctors to recognize just where she came from, unfortunately there was some bad news that came with that realization.

"There was a pendent around her neck that we found, it had the name "Tecna" engraved on it. With that information we can only assume she's Zenithian." The doctor concluded.

"But isn't Zenith one of the realms that was destroyed during the overthrow of the Magical Dimension by the evil Trix sisters just recently?" Flora inquired. Only months ago, three evil witches known as the Trix had managed to get the possession of the greatest magic of all existence, the Dragons' Flame, and with it, took over multiple worlds until they were finally defeated by the Company of Light.

"Yes it was, and it's a good thing that you found this little one, she is the last remaining citizen of Zenith. Although that comes with a price, since she must live with you, in a world without her native powers, she'll be prone to develop a debilitating condition."

"Oh dear, what type of condition?" Flora wondered fearfully.

"Well, we won't know until anything happens, but we'll have to keep a very close watch on her." The doctor informed the royal couple, and with that, the woodworkers of Lynphea were ordered to begin building a crib for baby Tecna.

Looking out from the balcony of her bedroom with the tiny infant in her arms, Flora looked down at her and sighed sadly.

"I'm so sorry, little one, nature and technology are complete opposites, and without any true source of your powers, you won't be able to live the fulfilling life I wanted to give to you. Especially since you could one day restore your realm." She whispered softly. Suddenly she heard Helia come in the room, and she turned to him.

"I know this is heartbreaking to hear, my beautiful rose, but Tecna is in much better care with us then she will ever be anywhere else." He tried to reassure his sweet wife.

"Maybe we should try to find Tecna's relatives, there could be a chance that someone would have been able to flee from the attacks. Zenith must have a evacuation plan put in place for just such an emergency." Flora suggested, "It's not like I don't want to take care of her, this is our one gift in order for us to have a child. But Tecna can't live this way, she needs technology, the way I need nature."

"My dear, lovely carnation, you care so much about this little girl that you just want the best for her, I understand that, but there is nothing we can do for her except to give her a roof over her head and food to eat, and the loving care that she deserves." Helia told her sweetly, pecking her lips passionately.

"But you heard what the doctor said, she'll be prone to a debilitating condition, the doctors in the palace don't even know what to look for and they're the best in Lynphea. She could eventually die without any source of technology for all we know!" The nature queen began to panic, looking down at the baby in her arms, " I'm so sorry sweetie, I wish there was something we could do." Flora and Helia looked down at the tiny infant, who knew when, or how this condition would take affect, and what they needed to watch out for in order to give Tecna the best life they could considering the circumstances.
