I zoom through the forest walkways of Magix, hurrying to get to Alfea. Truly, I was already early, by about 3 hours, but I love surprising people. I told Faragonda to not expect me for at least an hour. Of course, she'll probably expect this of me, but I do so love to get there early.
I slow down momentarily, and straighten, stiff from riding like that for several hours.
I had to get to Alfea, Cloud Tower, and Red Fountain all in quick succession.
I didn't need to go to Alfea for some time, so I decided to go to Red Fountain.
Codatorta and Saladin were both on deck, and had been told that they could expect to see me at any time of the day, or night.
I arrived in good time, about 10 minutes. I walked up the path, and pushed the gate open, continuing to the arena, where I knew that Saladin and Codatorta were waiting.
When I saw them, I nodded and sat down heavily in the front row seat, the best for evaluations.
"Bring out your best warriors. I wish to see them spar first with each other, and then, with me." I said, crossing my legs casually. Though, this was something that you wouldn't ever want to feel was casual. It felt as though a thousand centuries had passed since this had last happened.
Which, actually, I think may have happened…. Well, my memory isn't that great.
I absentmindedly twirled my cane, and brought out my pocket watch, checking the time.
I sighed. This may take a bit longer than I thought.
In a moment that felt like ages to me, the best of the school were brought out, and sparred.
A boy with blonde hair defeated a boy whose name was revealed to me as Riven, and he turned out to be the best of the bunch.
Riven was arrogant, apparently. But the blonde boy, Sky, was even more so.
Time I took him down a notch.
I stood up, cane supporting me.
"I will fight the victor now." I stated.
The body Riven's thoughts were…. Incredibly dark. I mean, I've dreamt up some pretty bad stuff which was, by any means, way worse, but his mind, was deliciously unkempt and, well, dark.
I shall have to see to that later.
I threw off my cloak, handed my cloak, cane, and helmet to Saladin, and jumped into the arena, where the lone boy, Sky, remained.
I unsheathed my sword, and waited for him to make the first move.
"But, you're a girl…" he trailed off.
A weakness, sexism, is easily exploited.
However, I was not in the mood for an easy battle.
Also, the school was waking up, and the other boys had come flooding in to the arena's seats, to watch their best warrior fight with an unknown girl.
I smirked.
"What, do you think I'll be too much trouble for you to handle?" I chided, taunting him easily, not breaking our rotation.
His sword hand trembled ever so slightly. A temper, I can use that, I thought.
"Apparently so. I mean, which one of you would want to fight me, besides this measly swordsman?" I shouted to the crowd, turning my back on Sky.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him rush towards me, and he yelled a battle charge.
Unwise of him, I must say.
I turned at precisely the right moment, and dodged, before flinging a dagger at him out of my boot.
The crowd roared, and I smirked yet again.
Sky might be their best, but if he was, Red Fountain wasn't even up to par.
I walked away from the battle, as their best warrior had been beaten in less than a minute. I believe I left Red Fountain in a state of awe.
Before I left, though, I noticed Riven going down the elevator to the place where they kept their bikes.
I suited up with my cloak and helmet, and then locked my cane into its spot, before shooting down briefly to find him tending his bike.
In a minute he left it, as he had to go to classes, and I snuck in. I placed my card in a place where he would find it on his bike, and was off to Cloud Tower before you could blink.
Cloud Tower was always a welcome place for me. I was half fairy, and half witch, but the witch part of me had been more than enough to take over my fairy half. That happened several hundred years ago, though, so it didn't matter.
Cloud Tower had always had acceptable standards, but this year was truly terrible.
They couldn't even withstand one of my simpler spells.
I was, needless to say, very disappointed.
I was off the Alfea in a flash, and found myself racing to get there, with barely a minute to spare.
I threw myself off the bike, and removed my helmet, setting it down on the bike.
I was through the gates, and didn't even halt a step when I heard a familiar voice, from this morning no less, screech "Halt!" at me.
I didn't pause, and kept going to reach the entrance of Alfea, where the Headmistress Faragonda was waiting.
"Sky, what's the matter?" asked an overly-perky voice.
"That's the girl who tricked me in front of the whole of Red Fountain!" said Sky.
"She's evil, and backstabbed me the first chance she got!" he continued.
"Well, we'll show her! Winx Club, Sirenix!" said the girl's voice again.
I turned just in time to avoid the first attack, sent by the girl. She had red hair, and the Dragon Flame within her.
I dodged easily.
Faragonda hadn't set this up, I knew, but I thought that if they dared attack me so brazenly, and in full view, as well as with Sirenix powers, they would be the best opponents they could offer.
I blocked several other spells, before I unhooked my cloak, put my cane down, sword, and sheath.
I transformed into a full-fledged fairy, with eons of experience, learning, knowledge, and support. I, dear readers, am the Fairy, Witch, and Grand Master of Time.
Little did these fairies know what they were getting into….
