The Magic of the Six

A Winx Club Fan Fic

Flora x Helia

P.S. It is in third person rather than having it in Flora's point of view for this chapter

Chapter 2: The Banquet

When Stella had returned to the palace, she talked to the guards and told them about what had just happened. They agreed to let the visitors, Flora and Spirit, stay in the palace for a while. Flora handed over Stella to the guards. "Could you please put her on the spare bed in my bedroom? I want to put Spirit and Jasper in to the stables so they can rest and have some hay to eat."

"Of course Princess Stella, your wish is our command. Are you sure that you do not want us to put her in one of the finer guest rooms though?," one of the guards responded as he knelt down in front of Princess Stella.

"No I am absolutely positive that I want her in my room. That should not be a problem with my dad should it?"

"I would not think so since all your dad does is make you happy. We will bring her up immediately."

"Just leave her dress on. I will come up after I put the horses in to the stable and lay out one of my fine night gowns and party dresses. I have a feeling that she is one of the six besides me and Brandon that we are looking for. We already know that three others are Prince Helia of the artistic planets, Princess Layla from the Realm of Tides, and Prince Ian also from the Realm of Tides. We needed one more girl and Flora seems to have the magic. It is just not fully developed yet. She said something about her parents being in hiding from a covenant of evil witches."

"That has to be her then. Did your father not say that the final princess was one whose parents were in hiding? I could remember him saying that it would be very difficult to find her. In this case, I guess it was not as hard. Didn't you find her in the middle of the Enchanted Woods?"

"Yes I think you should take her to my father quick so he can see if she is the one that we are looking for. If so I will find one of my smaller party dresses to make her wear to the banquet tonight."

"We will do that immediately. Can you handle both of those horses by your self or do you want one of these guys to help you?"

"I am sure that I can handle it. It really is not that big of a deal. Spirit and Jasper are both very tame. They should not give me too much trouble at all. I love these horses."

"All right we will get her checked and get her up to your room then."

"Thanks. Come this way Spirit and Jasper. I will get you two in to the stable to get you something to eat," Stella finally said as she led the dirty horses to the palace's stables. When she got over to the stables, a young woman a little younger than Stella was came up to her.

"Oh my goodness! What on earth happened to you Princess Stella? Are you okay? I have never seen you like this in the entire time that I have worked here which has been basically all my life? You are my best friend you can tell me any thing? Why are you so dirty? Is that not one of your favorite dresses? Where did you get the other horse? I have never seen this one before. I am in charge of the stable's too so you would think I would know it if you got a new horse," the hyper active teenager rambled on and on.

"Relax Bloom. I am fine. This is not my horse."

"Well whose is it then? Is it your fathers? One of the new guards? You did not get it for me did you?"

"Seriously Bloom. Just stop. It is not anybody's that you have ever met. I was out in the Enchanted Woods and I ran into a girl being attacked by one of the headless horseman that we some times see around. I saved her and she ended up fainting so she is here in the palace and I decided to put her horse Spirit in here while I waited for the banquet to come. So do you think you could bathe these two and feed them? They have been through a lot today. They need to get some good quality rest."

"Of course Princess Stella. I am so sorry that I always get over worked like that. I just get so worried about what happens to you. You are really important to every one in the Kingdom of Solaria. Especially your dad. He would be devastated if any thing had happened to you."

"I know and like I told you before, you do not have to call me Princess Stella, you can simply call me Stella. You don't have to be all formal just because I am a princess. I hate being treated differently. And by the way, do you want to come to the banquet tonight? I would be happy if you were there with me."

"I would love to, but there is a slight problem."

"And what would that be, I am sure that I can help you with whatever you need. I am a princess after all."

"Well I do not have a pretty dress to wear. I will feel out of place wearing this to the banquet."

"Well then if you promise to get these two horses looking as good as new, I will lend you one of my dresses that are two small for me. They will look great on you I think."

"I promise I will do my best. Thank you so much for letting me come with you."

"No problem if you want to come with me really quick, you can look at what I have in my closet."

"All right," Bloom responded as running after Stella towards the palace.

~Meanwhile in Stella's fathers room~

The guard that had Flora knocked on the king's door. "Who is there?," he asked in a loud and curious voice.

"This is the front guard. I have something urgent to show you King Radius."

"What is it? Did you find something?"

"Actually I did not, but your daughter did."

King Radius opened the door to reveal the guard holding Flora in his arms. "Who is this strange looking girl? I can feel a great deal of power coming from her."

"That is what I had wanted to ask you about. Princess Stella thinks that she is the last one that is part of the witches six. She says that her parents are in hiding and that she is from the Fifth Moon of Marigold. Is she the girl that fits the witches six requirement?"

"Yes indeed she is. I have been searching for her for a long time. Her parents were part of the old covenant of Witches Six but were forced in to hiding. I miss those days. Our groups got along so well. She will figure out that she is part of this tonight. I should send for her parents too, but that could be more dangerous than we had bargained for. We can not let her see her parents until we have the evil covenant of witches destroyed."

"Yes. I have strict demands from Princess Stella saying that I have to bring her up to her bedroom to let her get ready for the banquet. I will go and do that quick before our other guests start to arrive."

"All right tell Stella that I said to get ready as soon as possible the guests should be here very soon."

"Yes King Radius," the guard said goodbye as he bowed down to the king.

~Back in Princess Stella's room~

"Hey Bloom, did you find a dress that you like yet? If you did let me see which one that you like," Stella said looking for a dress of her own to wear.

"Yeah. Here I will come and show you quick now," Bloom said coming out with a gorgeous dress. "Is this one fine to wear?"

"Yeah that one was one of my favorite dresses when I was that small. I did not grow much but I grew enough to not be able to fit in to the dress of course. I think it will look really good on you Bloom."

"Thanks," Bloom said as she set it on the bed. There was a knock on the door as Bloom was getting ready to change in to it.

"Who is it?," Stella asked.

"It is me with Flora. May I come in or is this a bad time?"

"No you can come in. Is she the one?," Stella asked with hope in her eyes.

"Yeah she is. King Radius says that you should get ready as soon as possible because your guests are arriving as we speak. You will be one of the last people to be introduced but you still need to be ready."

"Ok. I will try to wake Flora up and get her all dressed up for the banquet. I will be down as soon as I can be. I do not know how long it will take to get her to wake up though."

"That is okay. Just pick her out a dress and get her dressed quick. She will wake up soon. I am sure of that."

"Bloom, do you want to pick Flora out a dress too? She is about your size. Pick one of the most elegant gowns in there."

"All right will you be able to do my hair before the banquet?"

"Yeah that will be fine. I need to get myself ready and wake Flora up quick. We need to be down there as soon as possible. So we should not take a long time. I do not want to keep my guests waiting for me."

"Okay I can start to wake her up if I get done before you then."

"Thanks that would be a huge help," Stella said as she slipped her banquet dress on. She loved the look of her dress. She decided that she would pull her hair into an elegant half pony tail to go with the dress. As she was getting ready, Flora finally woke up. "Oh thank god that you are up Flora. You need to put that dress on immediately. You should also do your hair up nicely."

"What? Why? Where am I?"

"Flora it is me, Stella. You are in my palace. You fainted when you got attacked by the headless horseman. Can't you remember? We are going to attend a banquet and it is completely necessary for you to participate too."

"Oh yeah. You have Spirit in the stables right? I do not want to lose him. He is the only one I have for my friends."

"Not anymore. I will be your friend Flora. I am sure that Bloom here would be too. Right Bloom?"

"But of course. I would be delighted to become your friend," Bloom said back smiling nicely at her.

"Thank you. You guys are so friendly."

"We know now there is no time for chit chat. You have to be ready in like five minutes or so. It is important that you get there now."

"All right," Flora responded as she slipped on her dress and tied her hair up in a pony tail. She put a flowery head piece in her hair and was ready to attend the banquet. "I am all ready now. Let's go to this banquet now."

"Okay. I will tell the guards that we are on our ways."

~Five minutes later~

"Okay girls, it is time for you to walk out now as we announce your names," The guard said as he went up to the walk way. "First up we have the royal family from the Realm of Tides. Here is King Enervus, Queen Quoeda, and their daughter Princess Layla. Second we have another family from the Realm of Tides. Please welcome King Oritel, Queen Miriam, and their son Prince Ian. Next up here is King Erendor, Queen Samera, and their son Prince Brandon. Next is King Stoudemire, Queen Varanda, and their son Prince Helia. And here now is a new comer to our banquets please welcome Princess Flora of The Fifth Moon of Marigold."

"Go that is you Flora I know you can do this," Stella gave her a push as she started to make her way down the aisle.

"Last but definitely not the least, here is our very own King Radius and his beloved daughter Princess Stella."

Princess Stella and King Radius slowly made their way down the aisle and after they made it to the end, Stella went to stand next to Flora and Bloom as her father went to the stage to make his announcement. "Welcome to the banquet tonight everyone. I would like to thank you all for coming here tonight. It has been a great year and there is a very important announcement that I would like to make in front of every one before we start to eat. I would like to introduce the new Witches Six. First of all, I would like the first member, and my daughter to come up here, please give it up for Princess Stella of The Kingdom of Solaria. Secondly, I would like to invite to the stage my daughter's wonderful boyfriend Prince Brandon of Eraklyon. He is soon to be the new prince of Solaria and heir to my throne seeing that they are engaged to be married later next year. Next there are two people from the Realm of Tides. I call up, Prince Ian and Princess Layla. The last guy of the group I would like to call up is Prince Helia of Linphea. And last but not least, a new girl that my daughter discovered, Princess Flora of the Fifth Moon of Marigold. Please welcome the new Witches Six. Let the food be served now."

As the six all gathered up on stage, Stella gave Brandon a huge kiss on the cheek to welcome him back from his kingdom. "Everybody, let me introduce you to the final member of our group Princess Flora."

"But I am not even a princess. I am from a small town."

"That is what you think but my father knows your parents and he said that they were both part of the old Witches Six and the only people who can be part of it is Princes and Princesses. Your parents are king and queen of your small town. Why do you think that they have to be in hiding for a while?"

"I guess I can believe that. Let us just eat some food for now though. I am not in the mood to talk about my parents right now."

"All right. Let us party the night away," Stella said as she started to dance with Brandon to let loose after her adventure yesterday."

I hope that you enjoyed chapter 2 of the Magic of the Six. I am so sorry that it took me so long to get it up. I have been very busy and I am in the process of writing another story too. I will have more chapters up very soon.

Sincerely,
