AN: This story is currently in the process of being gutted and rewritten. I've scrapped all the other chapters and am starting anew.

It will still be a story about Palladium's origins, but it will also follow an AU where Bloom was unable to save her adoptive parents from the Trix toward the end of season one. After she and the Winx defeat the Trix, Palladium offers to take Bloom in since he lives on Earth. While in the process of moving from Gardinia to Ashefeild (a small city about a day's drive away) they get into a car wreck when Palladium swerves to miss hitting a black figure in the road. After waking up, Bloom finds herself in the eerie, quiet, and seemingly abandoned town of Gosica, which wasn't on the map.

That's the jist of it. Will be working on it soon.
