Nature's Past
Part 5: Day of Colors
The Next Day at the Festival Grounds
The next day of the festival was dealing with painter and artist. It was incredible to go around the grounds and see all the different work, and sometimes pose for a portrait. Stella had already dragged the group to three different stands to have their portraits done.
"Okay, I'm done with this," Riven said, and looked at Musa, "You wanna check out the combat booth?"
"Sure," Musa said, as they left.
"Girls," Krystal called, coming up behind them, "The queens have arranged a brunch for the princesses and queens."
"Seriously," Bloom asked, "My mom didn't say anything about it."
"It's was surprise," Krystal said, "Come on." She finished grabbed Bloom and Stella who grabbed onto Aisha.
"Bye," Flora and Tecna laughed, both glad not to be a princesses.
"So," Brandon looked at Skye and Roy.
"Combat booth," Skye asked.
"Combat booth," Roy and Brandon agreed.
"Now what," Timmy asked.
"How about I so you all the best pastries in the world," Flora said.
"An excellent idea, Flo," Tenca said, looping arms with Timmy.
"Follow me," Flora said, pulling Helia down the bust road. Everything seemed to be prefect to Flora. Helia was back. The Winxs were spending time with her, and her old fiends were close by. Things were perfect.

Later that Day (about thirty minutes to sunset)
"Flora, where are you taking us," Stella said, as the Winxs and Specialists followed Flora throughout the crowded street.
"Here," Flora said, as they came to black tent.
"What's so special about this place," Riven asked, as a couple came out of the tent holding two white pouches.
"On the second day of festival, we hold an event called Coloriam," Flora said, leading the group into the tent. Inside the tent, there was an elderly man, surrounded by piles of colored powder.
"A shaman of Azure blesses a couple and gives the a gift," Flora said, grabbing Stella and Brandon's hands and leading them to the man. The man grabbed a handful of yellow and then orange powder, and thrown thew into a bowl and he began chanting.
"Vaha apanē dila sē pyāra hō sakatā hai
Vaha usakī ātmā kē sātha āpa pyāra hō sakatā hai"
"May he love you with his heart. May she love you with her soul," Flora whispered after the man.
"Śōdha karē raṅga bahuta ujjvala
Ēka saṅkēta kē rūpa mēṁ khaṛā karēgā"
"Theses color so bright shall stand as a sign," Flora said, as the bowl began to glow, and the power rose into the air.
"Apanē pyāra kō gaharā hō sakatā hai
Apanē pyāra kō saca hō sakatā hai
Aura yaha kabhī nahīṁ miṭatī sakatā hai"
"May your love be deep, may your love be true, and may it never fade," Flora said, as the power poured itself into two white pouches.
"Tīsarē dina, jaba sūraja kī sthāpanā kī hai
Apanē pyāra saccā hō tō,
Maiṁ tumhēṁ dē ēka śāśvata sā'ina"
"On the third day, when the sun has set, if your love be true, an eternal sign I give to you," Flora said, as the pouches floated to Stella and Brandon.
"The gift is proof of true love...not just to your other half but also of friendship and family. At sunset, you throw pouches up and on the third day if it is true love, a mark is given two both, as a sign that they've found each other," Flora said, going back to Helia.
The shaman repeated this for all the couples.
Musa and Riven - red and purple
Tecna and Timmy - green and orange
Aisha and Roy - green and blue
Bloom and Skye - red and blue
Helia and Flora - green and pink
After they all got their color, Flora quickly lead the group out to the palace court yard. It was completely packed. Some of the visiting royalty had gathered on the castle walls to watch the release of color. The couples as they wove through the crown toward the large fountain in the center.
"Flora, why do they do this," Helia asked.
"The release of powder, signifying the departure of a season, forgiveness for any sins and preparing the new season to come," Flora said, smiling up at him.
"But how-" Helia started, but Flora stopped him with a finger on his lips.
"You ask too many questions," Flora said smiling, and then turned to the clock tower.
Three. Two. One.
Once.
The moment could only be seen in one instant. It was a moment so full of life and color. It was a moment that could never be done the same.
Once.
The colors burst through the air as hundreds threw pouches of color into the air and they burst. Flora and Helia threw up their own pouches to mingle in the air above them. The colors all mingled, settling down on them and covering them in a multitude of tones.
Strangers passed through the crowd, touching family and strangers alike on the face and hands, spreading the love, the passion, the light. Flora reached Helia first, stroking his cheeks, painting her color on him. He did the same to her, claiming her as his own. And then he pulled her into a kiss.

"So much much cheer and joy...It's sickening," Icy said, looking down into the cauldron, watching the Winxs.
"A little chaos can get rid of all that," Stormy said, circling the cauldron.
"How much chaos would happen if little Miss Flower couldn't give back any of that nice nature energy," Darcy said.
"Plenty," Icy said, smirking.
Author's Note:
The day of colors is a real thing. I was channeling the Hindu festival of colors, Holi.
