Chapter 3- A Prophecy Told
"What do you mean I'm not the most powerful fairy anymore?" Bloom asked in shock.
"It means that Flora is, When you first arrived, I knew you possessed something great and now my suspicions are confirmed. You wield the strongest power to exist." Ms. Faragonda told Flora who looked as if she was gonna pass out at any moment.
"No... Your wrong, I'm just plain old Flora who likes nature, Bloom has the dragon fire, she's much more powerful than me, I mean if I had the power wouldn't I know by now?" Flora asked and Ms. Faragonda shook her head.
"The Rose Quantum is the strongest power to exist yet the hardest to achieve. It takes great strength to concur it." Ms. Faragonda told the girls who looked at their headmistress as if she had ten heads.
"First why don't I tell you about one of Flora's ancestors who wielded the power. As a matter of a fact it wasn't a fairy either." Ms. Faragonda told them.
"Wait it wasn't a fairy?" Tecna asked in shock and Ms. Faragonda nodded.
"It was a male wizard, who happened to be the royal knight to the royal family of Lymphia by the name of Sir Aden. Flora he happens to be one of your great grandfathers, around 200 years ago." Ms. Faragonda told the girls and Flora felt her palms get sweaty, and she took several quick breaths. She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned her head to see Musa giving her a comforting smile and then turned her attention back to Ms. F as she told the legend.
It was sum of 200 years ago, when a man, with sandy brown hair and the greenest eyes you could see, riding on his horseback in his armor. He had his sword by his side as his horse trotted through the forest, smiling he looked around at the trees, breathing in the fresh air, enjoying the moment.
"Sir Aden!" A voice called out and Sir Aden turned his head and smiled , there before him was a girl, around 22, fairing a tanned skin complexion with long caramel brown hair and beautiful hazel eyes. Sir Aden quickly dismounted from his horse and ran to give the girl a hug.
"Lady Aurora!" Aden spoke, his voice with a thick accent, the two embraced and looked into each other's eyes.
"You know you shouldn't be out here alone Aurora, especially if war is roaring on." Aden told Aurora who shrugged.
"Yeah I know, but I knew you would come out here and plus it's so beautiful." Aurora told Aden who chuckled.
"Very true, but we should head back, I don't think the king would like to know that his niece ran off." Aden told Aurora who sighed but nodded.
"Fine, but only because you said so." Aurora told him and leaned up and pecked him on the lips.
Smiling Aden lifted her onto his horse and mounted himself and took off to the castle. The ride only took about 15 minutes and they both dismounted but what they found shocked them.
People were lifeless on the street, and others who weren't were running away. Aden found a soldier who was groaning on the ground and ran over to him.
"Guard what happened?" Aden asked in a low voice.
"T...Than...Thanatos is here." He sputtered our before closing his eyes for the last time. Sir Aden closed his eyes in sorrow before standing out and unsheathed his sword.
"I need to get to the castle, you need to hide." Aden told Aurora who shook her head.
"No way, I'm coming too, remember I'm a fairy and can defend." Aurora shot back and Aden sighed but nodded and they both ran off to the throne room. They entered to see the guards all dead on the ground and saw the Queen in the middle, her chest rising and falling.
"AUNT ROSA!" Aurora yelled and ran to her aunt and lifting her head into her lap.
"A..Aurora? Child, you must get Lucas and leave, I can't let you both get hurt. Sir Aden take care of my niece and son." Queen Rosa told them weakly and Aden nodded at the Queens command.
"We must get you out as well, where is the King?" Aden asked as he warily looked around the room, gripping his sword.
"He's right here." A voice boomed, causing everyone to jump and turn around to see a man with a deadly pale skin, ice blue eyes and white hair flipped to its side, holding the king.
"THANATOS LET HIM GO!" Aden yelled as he pointed his sword towards Thanatos.
"Tsk tsk tsk, that's not how someone should treat their new ruler." Thanatos spoke, his voice sending a chill down Aden's spine.
Lady Aurora quickly rose to her feet and transformed into her enchantix form and flew up to face him.
"You put my uncle down or I swear to you Thanatos, you would wish you were dead." Aurora growled as Thanatos was holding King Rolland by the back of his shirt, his face bruised and cut and an open wound on his side.
"Aurora, get out of here!" The king yelled but Aurora stood her ground and stared at Thanatos with rage.
"Fine then M'Lady." Thanatos responded and threw the King to the ground, him landing with a loud thud. Immediately Aden ran over to the King's side to assess his wounds.
"You will pay for that Thanatos! SPRING SHOWER!" Aurora yelled and used her nature ability to send an attack Thanatos way.
Thanatos easily parried the attack and shot a dark orb straight at Aurora, sending her flying into the wall. Aurora heard Aden's yell, but she still rose to her feet and took the the sky once again.
"LUXURIOUS IVY!" Aurora yelled and vines came flying through the walls and grabbed Thanatos, who seemingly struggled against the vines.
"Cute, real cute." Thanatos said before breaking free from the vines and shot another attack at Aurora who dodged it.
"FLORAL ESSENCE!" Aurora yelled at and launched one of her strongest attacks at Thanatos, slamming him into the wall. Thanatos quickly jumped out of it with blood coming down his head.
"I'm done with your little games girl." Thanatos growled, annoyed that he got a cut from the fairy.
"STORMS VORTEX!" Thanatos yelled sending a strong attack to Aurora, knocking her out of the sky, causing her to transform into her normal clothes and land hard on the ground.
"NO AURORA!" Aden yelled and he stood up from where he was next to to the king and charged at Thanatos, who easily grabbed Aden's arm and threw him into the wall.
Aden slowly stood up and then charged Thanatos once again but was thrown back by a dark spell. Aden stayed down, groaning as he held his side. He managed to open his eyes to see Thanatos approaching Aurora, a wide smirk on his face.
"It's a shame really, I have to destroy such a beauty." Thanatos said as he began to conjure up another spell. Sir Aden saw what was about to happen and he stood up, anger pouring through him, feeling a surge of power flow through is veins.
"GET AWAY FROM HER!" Sir Aden screamed and his body started glowing a bright green. Even Thanatos turned around in shock as he watched the man glow green.
"GET. AWAY. FROM. HER." Aden screamed again and Thanatos smirked, and threw a spell towards him but to Thanatos shock, Aden absorbed it.
"Bloody hells." Thanatos murmured as Aden's glow became brighter and brighter.
"ROSE QUANTUM!" Aden yelled and a large rumbling began and the floor underneath Thanatos started to open and vines started shooting out, grabbing him and began to pull him in.
"NO! NO! HOW I WILL RETU-" Thanatos mouth was covered by a vine as he was thrashing around, until the vines finally pulled him into the hole, and once done so, the whole vanished. Aden looked at the place Thanatos once stood and then looked at Aurora who was slowly getting up, until Aden felt the darkness consume him and he dropped to the ground.
"Luckily everyone survived, though the Queen almost didn't but she pulled through and Lady Aurora and Sir Aden left the castle soon after to raise their family, jumpstarting your families line Flora." Ms. Faragonda finished the folktale with everyone looking at her with shocked eyes.
"Wow." Brandon heaved out as he leaned against the wall in disbelief.
"So Flora is now the prime target?" Layla asked the headmistress who sadly nodded and Flora inhaled a deep breath.
"Can the power be stolen?" Tecna asked and Ms. F shook her head causing the others to sigh in relief.
"The only way to stop Flora from using it, is to kill her." Ms. Faragonda responded and everyone once again tensed up, Flora especially.
"Okay so protect Flora at all times then?" Bloom asked and Ms. F nodded.
"Yes, until we know more of what is going on. Now I must be off to speak with Ms. Griffen and Headmaster Saladin." She told everyone and took her leave, leaving everyone behind in their thoughts.
"C...Can someone tell Helia, I don't think I'll be able to." Flora asked quietly as she looked down and started to play with her fingers.
"I got it covered Flora, I'll also tell Riven as well." Timmy told Flora who smiled gratefully at Timmy.
"I'll actually go do it now, feel better Flo." Timmy told her as he walked up to Flora's bedside and gave her a light hug before walking off, but not without giving Tecna a kiss on the cheek of course.
"We should also be heading back to Red Fountain. We will see you girls later. Flora take care." Sky said as he walked up and gave Flora a hug as well, Nabu doing the same.
"Flora call us at any time you need us okay? Get better soon, we will visit as soon as we can." Brandon told Flora as he pulled her into a hug and kissed the top of her forehead in a brotherly way.
The girls quickly said goodbye to their boyfriends except for Flora and Musa who were quietly talking to pass the time.
"Hey girls, I'm sorry but we're shutting down for the night, we're gonna keep Flora overnight just to be safe. If you want, one of you girls could stay overnight as well." Nurse Ofelia told the girls who nodded.
"I can stay." Musa said and all the girls nodded. They each went up and hugged Flora, whispering goodnights to each other.
"Musa, if anything happens don't hesitate to call okay?" Bloom told Musa who nodded, and with that the girls left the room.
"Musa, you didn't have to stay." Flora told her and Musa shook her head.
"Nonsense, besides after everything we haven't been able to talk as much." Musa told her and Flora nodded.
"So, how are you feeling?" Musa asked Flora as she sat on the bed next to Flora who moved slightly over for her to sit.
"I dunno, numb and shocked I guess. I mean why me? I'm just Flora, nothing special yet here I am with this power that I don't even know if I can control." Flora told her quietly as she looked down at her feet.
"Hey, you are special Flora, you are the kindest, sweetest and greatest friend anyone could have. Truth be told you are the glue to the group, without you it would probably be chaos." Musa told her and pulled her into a hug.
"And don't you worry, you will have us behind you in everything, the Trix won't get you and we will figure out this power okay?" Musa told her comfortingly.
"That's exactly it, I don't want you guys to get hurt because of me. I couldn't bare that." Flora told Musa as a tear rolled down her cheek.
"Hey hey, this is our choice to help you, if we get hurt it is not your fault, we chose this. We have your back and we know you have ours, besides when you do figure out your power, the Trix better run for the hills and any other evil afterwards." Musa told her and pulled her into a hug, allowing Flora to lay her head on Musa's shoulder.
"I just... what if Helia isn't happy with this. I mean I was just a normal fairy and now I'm a ancestor of the strongest power to exist? I don't want this, Helia probably doesn't want this either. He will probably just leave me, why would he want a girlfriend who will be in danger 24/7." Flora whispered and Musa pulled away from Flora and looked at her.
"The same way Sky stays for Bloom, he loves her and Helia loves you, he would never leave and god help him if he does because he won't get far as long as I'm around." Musa told her and Flora laughed a little.
"Thanks Musa, I really needed that." Flora told her and Musa smiled gratefully at her.
"No problem Flo, but you should get some sleep, you need the rest after today." Musa told her and Flora nodded and leaned her head into her pillow and closed her eyes. Musa looked at Flora and sighed, knowing that the future is going to be a difficult journey.
