Chapter One
"The Enemy"
Eracklyon, Royal Chamber:
Bloom was trapped in a dark room, nothing could be seen, and even as she tried to summon the dragons flame it was not enough to illuminate her surroundings, However it was enough to cause something to glitter in the light. Slowly and hesitantly Bloom walked forward, closing the distance until she came face to face with a mirror, that did not show her reflection but that of the flickering flame in her hand.
As Bloom stared into the darkness of the mirror a hand started to appear in the mirror. First appeared long nailed painted black, followed by pale slender fingers, holding a flame of its own. As it stepped forward the mirror began to ripple, and when finally the the hand started to break through the surface the owner of the hand appeared. She was pale with golden snake like eyes, unkempt red hair, causing Bloom to gasp in shock as she took a step back, but in her shock she tripped over her own two feet, landing on her butt, but the wild looking woman that had just stepped from the mirror did not falter, and instead the mirror released its prisoner. The strange wild woman that had just stepped out from the mirror smiled wildly at Bloom, slowly crouching down in front of the shocked woman
"Boo-"
Bloom tossed and turned in her bed while Sky stood above her
"She just started gasping for breath, I tried to wake her but..." he trailed off and looked over at Stella, letting the blonde guardian fairy take over. Stella attempted to shake bloom, which only make the redhead scream in fear, causing Stella to jump back and pull of her ring.
"Stand back Sky! This is powerful dark magic!" she yelled as her ring transformed into a long staff.
"Heed my call! Light of Solaria!"
"Get out of my head!"
Bloom yelled, fire appearing in her hands once more, but the darkness was to strong. As soon as she released the flame the wild looking woman in front of her simply countered it, releasing a fire of her own that ate hers.
"You know I can't do that...I'm apart of you Bloom." The Wild Woman stated, causing Bloom to grit her teeth
"I can do anything!" At Bloom's statement the wild woman laughed
"You can't get rid of me...not without destroying yourself!" The woman said just before reaching her hand out to grip Bloom's frail looking scared face just as something started to roar around them
"but...I know a way around that..." the wild woman whispered to Bloom, causing her to whisper as she leaned forward, her face barely an inch away from Bloom.
"How..." Bloom whispered, her eyes wide as cracks of light started to appear all around them in the darkness, giving Bloom a clearer picture of the Disheveled red head in front of her, dressed in a tight crimson halter top with a black center that lead to a mid-thigh length skirt, strange dark ribbons that seemed to be both on fire and smoldering came from behind her, causing it to look like she wore a ruined and torn cape. Just as the light exploded around them, Bloom saw the wild red haired woman's lips move, trace words could be heard just before she woke up, gasping, Stella standing above her looking prideful...and Sky right behind her, looking worried.
