Alright, hello! I'm back again with the next chapter! Remember, this chapter and last chapter are interchangeable. This chapter takes place around the same time (almost same events through different eyes).

Just to let you know, this chapter is not what it seems. I'll confirm it at the end. I wasn't too sure how to write this chapter, but I think I got it right. Pay attention to all dates, it may (or may not) help you and make it less (or not) confusing. Again, I'll confirm everything at the end of this chapter (and next chapter). Thanks for understanding (maybe)!

***Okay. There will be numbers throughout this chapter like this: (1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/11/12/13/14/15) These numbers correspond with a number in the author's note at the bottom of this chapter. When you see a number like the number above, there will be an extra note at the bottom about what I just wrote. You have the option to go to the bottom and see what extra I wrote. I'm just trying it out with this chapter, so if you like it/don't like it tell me in your review.

This part will be just answering a question I got in a review that I think you all should know. This question is from Half ReadLove: "Are we going to hear more from Stormy and Icy's children (and Darcy's). Chill, Cloudy, and Dusk?" Answer: I don't want to give anything away, but you will be hearing more from them sometime through the series. Most characters have a role in this universe. Don't worry! I'll never forget Paige's twin!... Or any of the others!

Anyway, this chapter goes out to all those who are trying to make the Winx fanfiction world a better place.

Disclaimer: I don't own Winx.

I worked quite hard on this chapter and I gave a lot of thought into it… I mean, I thought on it so long that I ended up rewriting it twice… And changing it all again and back -.- Let's just say that this chapter is my favourite chapter (and now longest chapter) for Fire of Hope so far!

Thanks. I hope you enjoy! Like I said, I worked really hard on this chapter!

Enjoy!

Last Chapter:

My hand feels like it is on fire, and I'll stop writing there. You'll hear more about what happened later on from me. I'll write later tonight, just so I don't forget anything. Every one of my friends deserves to have a memory or a part of them remembered forever. All of my friends deserve to have someone in one thousand years read their names in a text book and remember who they are, what they did, and what they fought for.

Just one thing before I go.

Point Number Seven: I have secrets only a few people know about; most the items listed above being my secrets. Wanna guess which? Maybe you'll figure out my secrets; my past. Maybe you'll figure out the last Earth Fairy.


Chapter 7: Alright

Brandon Solaria's Point of View


Earth Time: January 25, 2012 (Early Morning – Tent)


I lay in the tent I shared with Stella, Alexis Young, Sonny, and Luna. It was quite early in the morning, but I could hear Flora already trying to make breakfast with Helia.

My life had changed dramatically when I first met Stella. My life still kept changing because of her.

And I could have honestly said that I wasn't too sure that my life had changed the way I ever wanted it to change.

I never thought that I would be in the middle of a forest with a pink haired healer, with my fiancée that almost acted as if she was still fighting in Battle of Magix Hospital (1), and with my two beautiful daughters. I never grew up knowing that I would be the one to forfeit my last name, not my wife giving up her last name (2). I never thought that my best friend would be the King of Eraklyon, who I was still protecting. I never thought I would be wondering if my mother, Lady Lani Edwards, or my father, Lord Sol Edwards, were still on my planet (3). I never thought I would be wondering where my family was, or where Stella's family was. I never thought I would be wondering what my planet was like. I never would have thought that I would have two twin daughters…

My two beautiful daughters.

Their names were Sonny and Luna.

They had different birthdays, but they were twins. It was because Stella gave birth to Sonny at 11:49pm on July 15, 2009 and then Luna was born at 12:03am on July, 16 2009.

We had many reasons of naming them Sonny and Luna. Sonny's fully name was Sonny Jean ClairaGlimmer Braid Solaria. Sonny because she was born first and the sun comes first and because Stella felt her magic as being over the sun, Jean because of the fashion influence Solaria had on the rest of the Magic Dimension, Claira after Stella's thirteenth cousin, Glimmer because Sonny was royalty, Braid because of the style influence Solaria had on the Magic Dimension, and Solaria because of her royalty status. Usually, royalty wouldn't have a last name, but royalty were to use their planet for their last name for registering for Alfea or any school, and for medical reasons.

Luna's full name was Luna Hora Diamond Glitter Weave Solaria. She was named Luna after Stella's mother and because Stella felt her magic as being over the moon, Hora because of hours, Diamond because the name had been in Stella's family for generations, Glitter because of the make-up aspect of Solaria, Weave for Solaria's influence on style and fashion, and Solaria as her last name for the same reason as Sonny (4).

They were perfect to me. They were beautiful, well behaved, and a perfect mix of Stella and I.

The twins were getting so big. Sonny and Luna were two years and six months old already.


Earth Time: October 21, 2008 (Solaria)


It was late at night, but the first sun of Solaria, Flames, was already rising in the distance.

This was part of the problem as to why I was still up.

I really needed to go to bed.

I had been dealing with Radius and his court about the suns and moons alignments on Solaria and how it affected time. It was starting to really mess up Solaria. I mean, it has happened in the past, but now it was becoming more of a problem in the modern era.

From my understanding, with each day that passed, our sun alignment was off. This delayed the time.

Kind of.

Back in the day, Solaria used queues to tell time; when was Flames high in the sky meant it was noon, when the second sun, Burst, rose it was one in the afternoon, when the third sun, Rising, rose it was three in the afternoon, when Flames disappeared and the fourth sun, Shadow, rose it was five in the evening. When Burst disappeared it was six in the evening, when Rising disappeared it was eight in the evening, when the first moon, Glow, rose it was also eight in the evening, when Shadow disappeared it was ten in the evening, when the second moon, Midnight, rose it was midnight, when Glow disappeared and the third moon, Dawn, rose it was three in the morning, when Midnight disappeared it was five in the morning, when Dawn disappeared and Flames rose it was six in the morning (5).

I think.

Now, the time was changing.

The suns were coming at different times and sometimes the moon came in the middle of the day.

To say that I was not confused would be a total lie.

I still didn't fully understand the concept and I was useless to the court.

I opened the door to Stella's room that she shared with me and closed it behind me quickly.

"Hey, Stell." I said as soon as I walked into the room. "Can you get my coat; I need to run to Eraklyon. I'm going to visit Sky and Bloom." I pressed the green button that attached my cape to my Red Fountain uniform. The uniform melted away into my daily outfit of shorts and a t-shirt. "Wanna come?" I asked.

"Umm… Can I talk to you first?" Stella asked. She sat up from the bed and ran her hands through her long blonde locks. Her face told me something was up.

"Yeah. Go ahead." I said slowly. Stella patted the spot beside her on the bed. I walked over to her and sat down beside her. "What do you want to tell me?"

"I…" Stella laughed lightly and fiddled with her fingers on the bed. "Have you noticed the weather today?"

"Umm, Stell?" I questioned.

"Yea?"

"The weather is the same every day, dear." I said. Stella laughed nervously and looked down at her hands.

"Riiiiiggght." She drawled. "What I meant to tell you is… Umm… My mother's castle is in need of new guards. She was wondering if you would like to help her hold tryouts." Stella said. I raised my eyebrow and put my finger under her chin. She turned to look at me with a worried expression on her face.

"You asked me this a few days ago." I said softly. Stella bit her lip lightly. "I already said yes." My fingers slipped away from her chin and ghosted across her hair. "Is there something else that you want to tell me?"

"Snookums… I... Umm." Stella's golden eyes moved from mine to the beige floor and she fiddled with the diamond covered ring on her left hand. "I don't know." Stella stuttered. "Uhhh… If you were a girl, would you go to Alfea or would you go to the school on Solaria?"

"What?" I asked blankly. Stella looked into my eyes and shrugged.

"Listen, are you happy?" Stella asked. I blinked a few times and looked at her like she was crazy.

"Stella, what are you talking about?" I asked.

"I'm… Err…" Stella dropped her hands to her side. "My father told me that when we get married, you have to forfeit your last name." Stella said. I scrunched my eyebrows up.

"Yes, I know." I said slowly. "We already had a meeting about this last week. I have to give up my last name to become King of Solaria. That's how the Magic Dimension works. The spouse that's not royalty has to give up their last name." I replied. "Is that all, or is that just a warm up for the real news?"

"The warm up." Stella admitted. I looked into her beautiful eyes. Her eyes were always so full of emotion. Her eyes made Stella, Stella.

"Alright, shoot away. I'm open." I said. Stella pulled her eyes away from mine and looked at the wall behind me.

"I'm seven weeks pregnant." Stella said slowly. My hand dropped from her face to my side. She looked at me with extremely worried eyes.

"What?" I asked. Stella fidgeted with her hands before she lunged into me for a hug. She buried her face into my shoulder and wrapped her arms around me tightly.

"Brandon Edwards, you are going to be a daddy." Stella whispered.

Daddy

Daddy

Daddy

Daddy

Daddy

"I… Really?" I asked. Stella nodded her head against my neck. I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms around her, pulling her close to me. "Stella Solaria, you're going to me a mommy." I felt Stella smile against my neck. We held each other for a few moments, savouring the moment.

"Are we still going to Sky's?" Stella asked after a moment. We pulled away from each other and I shook my head.

"We can do that tomorrow." I whispered. Stella dove into my side again and I wrapped my arms around her waist again and looked out the window just as the last sun set and the first moon rose (6).


Earth Time: January 25, 2012(Early Morning – Tent)


I looked down on my chest where my daughters slept. They were so beautiful now; they looked just like Stella would have as a child.

Sonny had coffee brown eyes with flecks of gold that everyone said looked exactly like mine. When you would look into them you could see a right on glowing light around her pupils. Her blonde hair was curled in large ringlets that reminded me of my mother's hair.

Luna had sky blue eyes that were a part of the reason of her name. Her blue eyes reminded both Stella and I of Queen Luna of Solaria, Stella's mother. My father also had blue eyes, but they were darker than my daughter's. Her brown hair had the slightest wave to it, and when she was in the open sky lighter brown and some blonde hair came out as highlights.

I couldn't believe that my girls were two years and six months old already.

Two full years old.

Six full months old.

I couldn't believe it. They had been a big part of my life and my time with them flew by…


Earth Time: March 17, 2009 (Solaria)


I swear it was a billion degreases on Solaria.

All of the five suns and two of the three moons managed to be up at the same time and the only way the whole planet wasn't in flames was because everyone had charms and shields up and on. There were at least five forest fires going on in the Royal Trees.

Yet, Stella and I were in the hottest area on Solaria. Stella wore shorts and a t-shirt with her hair pulled back and off of her face, but she was still beat red, panting, and sweating.

I wore my shirt I used to wear when I was in second year at Red Fountain and shorts, but still I looked like Stella.

Why were we here?

"Brandon, hurry up. My mother still wants to have lunch with us after this is all over." Stella sighed. She tugged my arm again, bringing us a few steps closer to the mountain.

"So, are you sure this is the correct mountain?" I asked, skeptically. We stood in Solaria's mountain area; the Royal Peaks (7). We stood at the base of the least known mountain and least visited mountain. Guards stood around the base of the mountain, looking directly at Stella and me.

I wondered how they stood the heat of the day.

"Of course I am." Stella replied. She took my hand in hers and we both started walking towards the path that led up the mountain. The guards let us pass; they already knew that we were coming. "My mother gave me specific directions so we wouldn't get lost."

"Okay." I said. We started up the winding path. "Is that stairs?" I questioned. I stopped walking and looked at the old stone steps that were carved to the top and up the length of the mountain.

"Yeah." Stella said curtly. We walked a few feet to the stairs and started climbing. We walked in silence up the stairs for what felt like hours. I was sure I would have a really nasty sunburn everywhere on my body by the end of this day.

When I looked back down I almost fell over. I wasn't one to get dizzy from heights, otherwise I would have failed miserably at Red Fountain, but this mountain was an exception. We were so close to the first moon that I bet Stella's power over the moon would be dominant to her sun powers, unlike on the ground.

"So, when we get there-"

"If we get there." Stella interrupted. I sighed and kept walking up the mountain. Stella was now falling behind a few steps.

"Well, whenever we get there, what will we be doing? You're mother never really told me why we are going to see this girl." I said.

"First of all, we are going to see Clair. Spelt C-L-A-I-R, not C-L-A-I-R-E (8). It's a little different on Solaria, but she's family, so whatever. She's my thirteenth cousin and only living relative that's not my mother or father." Stella told me. "I've never met her, but my mother says we are close in age; only a six year difference."

"Are you older?" I questioned. Stella shook her head.

"No. She's older by six years." Stella replied.

"What happened to your other relatives?" I asked.

"Thirteen generations ago there was my great-great-great-great-"

"Yes, your grandmother many generations ago." I said. I could feel her glare she sent me on the back of my head.

"Anyway, my grandmother from a few generations ago had a sister. She married Solaria's enemy, so to speak, and was disowned by my grandmother-form-generations-ago's father. Clair's mother, my twelfth cousin, made emends with my father and mother and they became friends. She died giving birth to Clair and Clair's father died from a poisoned drink at my father's birthday ball. All of Clair's past relatives passed away before she was born, and Clair was left alone. She was given to my father and he raised her until she was six years old and then she left. Clair moved to this cave alone." Stella explained.

"So, she could be seen as your sister in your father's and mother's eyes." I said.

"I try not to think about it." Stella admitted.

"And why are we coming here?" I asked.

"My mother came to see her when she was pregnant with me, and I'm coming to see her when I'm pregnant with our child." Stella replied. By now I could see the top of the mountain. "She has a power that my mother strongly likes."

"What is it?"

"I'm not too sure." Stella said. "But it has to do with our baby."

"Alright, cool." I muttered. After a few minutes of silent walking we reached the top of the mountain and came to rest at the open mouth of a cave. It was just a hollowed out area in the mountain with throw pillows, blankets, and mattresses covering the ground, painting of odd and abstract things covered the walls alongside curtains and beads, and a girl around the age of twenty five was quickly sketching on a pad of paper, her eyes closed and her hand flew across the page.

"Umm… Hello!" Stella called. I couldn't tell if the girl didn't hear us or was just ignoring us. "Hello? Clair?" The girl's eyes flew open and she looked at us. She smiled widely and that's when I noticed her eyes. They had a glowing green ring around her irises. Clair stopped drawing and turned the notepad over without looking at it.

"Hello." The girl called. She stood up from the floor and brushed down her jeans. She wore faded blue skinny jeans, a tight blue top, red gloves, no makeup, and ballet flats. "I'm Clair." She said as she walked over to us. She held out her hand in front of Stella. Stella took it slowly.

"I'm Stella; your cousin." Stella said slowly. I would have never guessed that they were related in anyway. Clair had extremely curly dark red hair that went just past her chin, freckles all over her cheeks and arms, glowing green eyes, and a skin tone that was quite a few shades darker than Stella. "And, umm, this is Brandon. He's my fiancé." Stella introduced. She practically pulled her hand out of Clair's grip. Clair smiled brightly at both of us.

"Yes, I know." Clair said. I felt Stella take a step closer to me. Stella said she never met her distant cousin, so how could Clair know about us. "I mean, who wouldn't? You're only next in line to the thrown and part of the famed Winx Club." Stella beamed and flipped her hair.

"Oh, so you do know me." Stella replied.

"Of course." Clair replied. "Why don't you sit down, I just need to go get my children."

"Oh." Stella said. She retook my hand and dragged me inside. "Sure." We both sat down on a mattress in front of the wooden table. Clair walked out of the cave and turned down a different path up the mountain. Stella leaned against my arm and looked around the cave. "It's pretty in here."

"Yeah, it's not an oven." I muttered. It was true; the cave gave off a cold and damp feeling. It was a nice relief from the scorching sun outside.

"Not that." Stella muttered. "It has a nice magical energy pulse. Do you feel it?"

"I guess so." I mumbled. Stella rolled her eyes.

"I know that you don't have as strong of magic as I do, but you have some magic." Stella said. She snorted and lightly tapped the light sword hilt hanging from my belt. She was right; I did have magic. All of the students at Red Fountain had to have magic to control the dragons, to power up our weapons, to use hovercrafts, and anything else the Heroes use (9).

"No, sorry." I answered honestly. Stella sighed and looked around the cave.

"Sorry about that." Clair said. Both Stella and I looked at the red haired fairy in the entrance of the cave. "My children are in need of rest. They have been out in the sun all day."

"Oh, can I meet them?" Stella questioned. Clair nodded and smiled softly at Stella.

"Birdy, come here!" Clair called. A bird flew down from the nearest tree and landed on Clair's shoulder. "Stella," She walked inside the cave and sat down opposite to us. "This is my child, Birdy."

"Oh." Stella said slowly. I think she was expecting actual children. I sure was. "She's… Umm… beautiful."

"It's a boy." Clair said. She held out her finger and the bird hopped from her shoulder to her finger. "And he's hardly beautiful. You just don't see him right."

"What?" Stella questioned. Clair laughed lightly and put the bird down on the table.

"He has special patterns on him that aren't visible to the unworthy." Clair said absentmindedly. Stella clenched her teeth together to keep from pulling the princess card on her cousin. "Anyway, you came here for the same reason your mother came to me eighteen years ago?"

"Yeah… I guess." Stella muttered through her clenched teeth. Clair took off her gloves and held out her hand over the table. "Umm… What exactly are we doing?" Clair laughed and threw her head back.

"Oh, Stella, you amuse me." Clair said. She dropped her hand back to her lap and slipped on her red glove once again. She stood up and walked to one of the paintings hanging on the wall. It wasn't really a painting, it was a list of names.

Clair walked over to the table again and let the canvas clatter to the table. Both Stella and I leaned over it eagerly.

Fiammante Cashmere Glow (U.B.)

Woola Denim Velvets(age two)

Leather Weave Suns (died at age five)

Gold Wool Glow (died at age eight)

Platinum Cotton Glow (died at age eight)

Yarn Braid Cloth (died at age twelve)

Luce Shinning Lights (died at age fourteen)

Lace Fleece Soleil (died at age sixteen)

Lacy Nova Glitters (age seventeen)

Princess Stella Diamond Lacy Satin Dazzle Solaria of Solaria (age eighteen)

"Who are these people?" Stella asked. My eyes lingered on Lacy Nova Glitters. I knew that name from somewhere… Stella gasped and pointed excitedly to Lacy Nova Glitters. "That's Nova, Brandon!" She cried excitedly. She pulled on my arm and smiled. "You know her; she's the one that always filled me in on gossip at Alfea." (10)

"Right. Yeah." I muttered. I scanned down the list some more. A smile spread across my face and I gently tapped the last name on the list. "I see that you made it on the list." Stella's eyes lit up and looked happily at the page.

"It looks like I did." Stella said with a smile. "And my full title is here. I never use it, it is way too long." She studied the list more and frowned. "Why am I at the bottom of this list?"

"You were the first child I prophesized for." Clair said absentmindedly. Stella's eyes widened.

"Prophesized!?" Stella shirked. Clair nodded her head, ignoring the fact that Stella was freaking out. I just held her tighter into my side.

"Yep. I predicted each of these children's future. Mostly." Clair mumbled.

"Mostly?" Stella asked.

"Well… Yeah. It's hard to map out a whole life. I mostly just predicted some major events, powers, names, genders." Clair explained. "That is why you are here, correct?" She questioned. Her flaming green eyes turned to mine.

"Yeah. Sure. Of course." Stella muttered. Clair smiled and held out her ungloved hand once again.

"Hold out your hand, Stella." Clair commanded. Stella looked at me worriedly. I tried to smile reassuringly at her, but I'm not too sure that I pulled it off. I just might have been more worried about this than Stella was.

Stella sat up straight and held out her hand. Clair wrapped her hands around Stella's one and closed her eyes tightly. Stella closed her eyes and shivered. I wasn't too sure if the shiver was from Clair's hand or from the feeling of having the future read on you. My eyes flicked down to the paper of names. One had changed while Clair was reading Stella.

Fiammante Cashmere Glow (Born today – March 17)

Just as I was removing my eyes, cloudy letters formed on the page. As seconds ticked by, I could make out the names clearly.

Princess Sonny Jean ClairaGlimmer Braid Solaria of Solaria (U.B)

Princess Luna Hora Diamond Glitter Weave Solaria of Solaria (U.B)

I almost couldn't think clearly.

Two daughters?!

I thought that Stella was only pregnant with one child!

Twins?

Twins.

Twin daughters…

I smiled lightly as the news sunk in.

My daughters.

They were going to be here.

They weren't my imagination.

Somehow, seeing their names written down on a piece of paper made all of this all real.

"Brandon!" Stella gasped. She clutched my arm tightly and pointed a shaky finger at the page with our daughters' names. "Holy Realix." We both gazed at the names.

"Alright, I got all of the readings I could." Clair said. She sat back down on the floor. I didn't even realise that she had left the cave. "There was quite a lot to gather, so be prepared." Clair said slowly. In her hands, she held the paper she was drawing on when we came in the cave.

"Alright. Go ahead." Stella said. Clair flipped over the paper.

Two teenage girls were drawn out on the paper. One of the girls stood a light brown dress that ended above her knees, brown boots, pink gloves, and had light blue wings. She had wide, crystal blue eyes. Her brown hair was tussled like she had been flying in the wind, and had purple gems hanging around her head like a crown.

Another girl stood as far away from the first girl as far as the picture fame would allow. This girl wore a tight black tank top with a loose grey shirt overtop. She wore a light blue skit and blue shoes. She had waist length, extremely curly, blonde hair. In her hair was a black headband that held a blue gem. She had dark brown eyes and a frown on her pretty face. I couldn't imagine why.

"This is Luna." Clair whispered. She pointed to the girl with the brown hair. "And this is Sonny." Clair added. She moved her finger to the girl with the blonde hair.

"Our daughters?" Stella gasped. Clair nodded her head and handed the photo to Stella took look at. She turned it just enough so that I couldn't see them anymore.

"Can you tell us any more about them?" I asked. Clair nodded her head but moved her eyes to the floor.

"Luna is a fairy. Her powers are over the moon. It's complicated. I'll come back to that later." Clair's eyes flickered to mine before dropping to the floor again. "And… Um… Sonny is a witch and would rather be called Claira… Umm… Stella, I'm sure you know that Claira is spelt C-L-A-I-R-A not C-L-A-R-A on Solaria." Clair said. Stella nodded her head. I thought that, that was weird. The names, I mean. We spell Clara as C-L-A-R-A not any other way on Eraklyon. "That's her middle name. And, uh, she has powers over the magma in the sun."

"This one is Sonny, right?" Stella asked. She pointed to the blonde haired girl in the photo. Clair nodded her head.

"Yeah, that's her." Clair nodded.

"Can we hear about Luna's power?" Stella cut in.

"Yeah, sure." Clair muttered. She fidgeted with her hands in her lap. "She had power over the moon, but more specifically over the lunar cycles." Clair sighed and got up from the floor. She walked quickly over to a basket in the back of the cave and dug around. When she found what she was looking for, she ran back to us. "This is your future I foretold when I was six years old, Stella." Clair said. She opened up a paper and showed it to Stella. I read over her shoulder.

The daughter of sun and moon will circle around the circles. She will change Solaria soon with her brightness that shines through. Annual changes will affect her, but know that two chances are too many.

"What the…" Stella muttered. She threw the paper on the table again and glared at Clair. "What is the crap supposed to mean!?"

"Daughter of sun and moon. That is from you mother and father. Your father is sun, your mother is moon." Clair said. She stood up and picked up the paper. She turned her back on us and walked back to the bucket at the other end of the cave. "Circle around the circle. That makes no sense. I thought it was saying something about sun cycles." Clair put the paper in the bin and waved her hand. Fairy dust came flying out into the air and covered the box with protection. "She will change Solaria soon. This is as in you being the first woman as the heir to the thrown of Solaria." Clair walked back over to the table and sat down in front of us once again. "With her brightness that shines. I was thinking that this line is for your main powers; the sun." Clair spun a spoon on the table absentmindedly. "Annual changes will affect her. I was thinking that something new will happen each year. I guess it did for you, Stella. There were new villains or new attackers each year." I say Stella nod slowly out the corner of my eye. "But know that two chances is too many."

Silence.

"Do you have anything for that?" Stella asked after a few moments of silence.

"At first I didn't." Clair admitted. "Then I thought of your schooling at Alfea. The first time you went there you failed. The second time was more successful though." Clair said.

"That only explains the two chances part. Not the too many part." I said with a frown. Clair nodded slowly.

"I noticed that, Brandon." Clair said. "But, the thing is, I don't think this is Stella's prophecy anymore."

"What?!" Stella raged. "You. Have. Got. To. Be. Kidding. Me!?" Stella screamed. She stood up from the floor and glared at the red haired fairy across the table.

"Stella…" Clair sighed. "Don't take your frustrations of not seeing your friends for a few months out on me. Trust me; you won't see them for much longer. You must keep your temper down about it." Clair instructed.

"Damn it!" Stella screamed. "I walked for miles in the scorching heat today to get to you! I thought that this was a load of crap from the beginning, and I was right! Clair, this is the hottest day Solaria has ever seen! My planet is on the verge of bursting into flames right now! Do you think that I would rather be here talking to some nut, or in my palace and helping my people!?" Stella screamed. Clair stood up from the floor calmly. Her green eyes weren't as bright as before, but she looked the same otherwise.

"Stella, the thing is, by being here, you are helping your people. You are saving the planet. If you would sit down, please, then maybe we could talk about precautions that you and Brandon would like to take when dealing with your children."

"You have a damn bird as a child." Stella snapped. "Don't go talking to me like you know how to raise children." Stella tugged me up from sitting with an angry glare. "Let's go, Brandon." Stella said shortly. Then she stomped out of the room with me trailing behind her.

"This prophecy is about Luna." Clair said. I slowed down my walking. "I know what it means."

"Go tell it to your bird." Stella hissed.

"Luna's powers will kill her. She will take too many chances and it will take her life and will bring her boyfriend and sister to their knees." Clair said. I froze and turned to Clair. Her hair was crackling with magic as it pulsed through her. "She will have powers that control going into the past and changing it. That will-" Clair's eyes went wide and she dove to the table. She scribbled furiously for a few seconds on a pad of paper. "Brandon, please! Please, take the paper. This is my cousin we are talking about." Clair pointed her hand at the box at the back of the room and a scroll came flying into her hands. "Please. This might save her. This might save both of them."

That was all that I needed. I ran over to Clair and took the new paper and the old paper from her hands.

"Thanks." I whispered. Clair pointed her hand at the table and the picture she was drawing came flying at her. She handed it to me.

"Promise to protect Stella." Clair whispered. "Promise to protect her with all of your power." I was confused. "Please."

"I promise." I said. Clair frowned.

"Mean it." Clair whispered. "She is like my sister. She may not see me as a sister, but I see her as my sister. Her parents were my parents. I don't want her to get hurt in any way. Protect her even if it is impossible for you to do so." She put her palm over my heart. "Pull on your life force to promise." Her eyes glistened with tears. "Promise on your life. Only then will I be happy."

"I swear on everything that I will protect her." I told the girl in front of me. "I promise that I will protect her with my life." Clair nodded her head. "Thanks, Clair."

"My name is Claira, Brandon." Clair said. "And you name part of your child after me. Sonny and I are more alike than different." Clair took a step away from me. "I am a witch, after all." My mouth must have fallen open at the comment. "Now, you must go. Your fiancée is getting further down the mountain."

"Thanks." I muttered. I turned and started running out of the cave.

"Brandon!" Clair called once again. I slowed down and turned to look at her. She was smiling sadly. "My talent is both a gift and a curse. Do you know why?" I said nothing. "No matter how hard I try to change things, nothing ever changes." She laughed lightly. "If I warn you that you will die saving a friend…" She gave me a look. Deep down, I knew she was warning me about something. "You will try to prevent that from happening. Still, it will happen down the road. It may not be where I first saw it, but it will happen." Clair looked to a mirror at the other end of the cave. "I always see it happen before everyone else. The sad thing is that I see that it's going to happen, and I have the option to help prevent it. Always in the end, you will run into that same fate." Clair stared at me deeply. "You can't keep running away from fate. It will chase you and you will lose."

"Brandon!"

"Nobody ever wins. We all lose. Every time."


Earth Time: January 25, 2012(Early Morning – Tent)


I looked down at the papers I clutched in my hand.

The daughter of sun and moon will circle around the circles. She will change Solaria soon with her brightness that shines through. Annual changes will affect her, but know that two chances are too many.

Prophecy foretold by Claira about Princess Luna Hora Diamond Glitter Weave Solaria of Solaria

I put the old paper back into my pocket.

My Luna had a strange prophecy about her.

About her powers.

I didn't know anything about being a fairy, but I was sure that not getting a second chance with your powers wasn't right.

I sighed and looked at the next paper that held another prophecy.

Daughter of sun with vengeance, just try to chase the sun. You may be first, but you will always be last. You may want and never get, so know that your selfishness will corrupt and kill.

Prophecy foretold by Claira about Princess Sonny Jean Claira Glimmer Braid Solaria of Solaria

I still didn't know what these prophecies meant. For sure the last one was bitterer than the first.

Daughter of sun with vengeance? What was that supposed to mean. I was sure that Stella didn't have any need for vengeance in her.

Just try to chase the sun? I had little to know clue what that was supposed to mean. Maybe something about directions.

You may be first. I figured that this was because Sonny was born first.

But you will always be last? Last in what? This line confused me the most.

You may want and never get? I couldn't even think on an explanation for this one. I knew that you couldn't always get what you wanted, but how had this had to do with Sonny?

So know that your selfishness will corrupt and kill? Kill what? Would Sonny feel like that I don't love her? Would she feel so strongly that I didn't love her above my own life that she would turn bitter?

I had no idea what this prophecy meant. At least Clair gave me insight on Luna's prophecy. Even if I went to find Clair to help me, I wouldn't know where to start. Was she even alive? Was she still in her cave?

What happened to Solaria? What happened to Clair?


Earth Time: August 20, 2009 (Solaria)


Once again, I found myself climbing up a mountain in the Royal Peaks.

"Brandon!" A voice called above me. I looked up from the stairs in front of me to come face to face with a smiling Clair. "It is you. I thought I saw you in my mirror, but I wasn't too sure."

"Oh." I said slowly. Once you were around Clair once, you knew you had to get used to strange things. "Yeah, I'm here. And I brought guests." I said. I lifted my arms the slightest bit, showing off the two sleeping daughters in my arms. Clair smiled.

"This one is Sonny, right?" Clair asked. She pointed to the girl in my arms with already a head full of blonde hair.

"Yeah, that's her." I said.

"And this one is Luna?" Clair questioned. She stroked the brown hair that hung over my elbow.

"Yeah." I agreed. Clair cooed.

"They are sweet." Clair admitted. She looked at them for a moment before smiling brightly. "Here, I have something for you." She said. Clair turned on her heal and sprinted up the mountain. I followed behind her as quick as I could with my two daughters in my arms.

Once I reached the top, Clair was already digging around in her bucket. It was full of more things than last time I was there.

I looked at the cave wall and saw the list that Stella and I saw the first time we came here.

Diamond Sonny-Luna Lights (U.B.)

Princess Luna Hora Diamond Glitter Weave Solaria of Solaria (one month, four days)

Princess Sonny Jean ClairaGlimmer Braid Solaria of Solaria (one month, five days)

Fiammante Cashmere Glow (six months, three days)

Woola Denim Velvets(age two)

Leather Weave Suns (died at age five)

Gold Wool Glow (died at age eight)

Platinum Cotton Glow (died at age eight)

Yarn Braid Cloth (died at age twelve)

Luce Shinning Lights (died at age fourteen)

Lace Fleece Soleil (died at age sixteen)

Lacy Nova Glitters (age seventeen)

Princess Stella Diamond Lacy Satin Dazzle Solaria of Solaria (age nineteen)

"Alright, I have found another picture of them. I drew it during the night… and, err, morning that Sonny and Luna were born." Clair said. She stood up from the ground and walked over to me. She handed me a photo of a crown. The picture was again hand drawn so it was hard to tell the details. It looked like it was made out of bronze or gold. The metal was in thin wires that were woven into thin strips. Attached to the crown were purple gems. I recognized it from the picture of Luna that Clair had given Stella the first time we met her.

To say the crown was just beautiful would be an understatement.

And to say that I recognized it would be a lie.

"What is it?" I asked.

"It's the crown of Solaria." Clair said.

"No. No, it's not." I replied quickly. "The Solarian Crown is made of silver and looks nothing like this." I argued.

"Something happens to that one." Clair said. "This is the new one; the remake."

"Oh." I managed. Clair pressed the photo into my hand slowly.

"Take it. You might need it to make the remake or something." Clair said. I nodded as thanks. She took a step back and fiddled with her fingers. "Umm… Did you come here for a reason? Or…"

"No. Um. Yeah. I came here to ask you something." I said. Clair gestured to the floor to sit but I shook my head no.

"Alright. Ask away. I'll try to answer to the best of my ability." Clair said. I smiled.

"You already know what I'm going to ask, don't you?" I questioned. Clair laughed lightly.

"I don't see trivial things like questions." Clair answered. "And I can't see anything to do with me."

"Oh." I said. "Okay, well I want to ask you if you want to be Sonny's godmother." Clair smiled and looked down at the blonde child in my arms.

"Of course." She answered. I smiled and nodded my head.

"Thanks." I said. "Luna's godmother is going to be Bloom. Stella is looking into getting her down and contacting her."

"Right." Clair said. "I heard about the atmosphere layer." Clair smiled sympathetically.

It was true. Our atmosphere was getting hazy. Nothing could enter or exit Solaria. No ship could come in or leave because one layer in the atmosphere was getting too hot. It had something to do with the suns being up all at the same time. Not even radio waves, or cell phone waves, or any way of communication with anyone could go through. We couldn't even fly out. Stella couldn't use her Zoomix wings to get out of Solaria, and nobody else could teleport out of Solaria.

A theory was that the heat was creating electricity that was converting into magical energy. This created a force field that would stop anything and everything from passing by or through it.

There was no way to contact anyone in the outside world. We were cut off from the Magic Dimension. The suns being off of their time was messing with everything. It had been this way since the day we visited Clair the first time.

"Yeah. No way for me to get back to Eraklyon." I muttered. I still needed to bring my daughters to my home to show my parents and Sky. I haven't talked to the guys or any of the girls in over ten months.

"Clair!" There was a scream up the mountain. I spun to face the entrance, but nobody was there. "Help me! You need to help my daughter! You cast this fate on her!"

"Who is…?" I muttered. Clair pointed her hand to the back of the cave and a bag flew towards her. She caught it and slung it over her shoulder.

"It's Lacy Glitter's mother. I prophesised a sickness that would come on her and I the time has come. I need to go help her." Clair muttered. I looked at the list once again.

Lacy Nova Glitters

"Isn't that Nova?" I questioned. Clair nodded and summoned another bag of supplies. "What sickness does she have?"

"I have to go see." Clair said. She turned to me and smiled slightly. "Good luck. I'll see you… Umm… I'll see you later. You and Stella should go see Nova in four hours (11)."

"Why?" I asked. Clair avoided my eyes.

"Just do it." Clair said. "Remember your promise."

"What?" I asked.

Clair turned to smile at me and then she was gone.


Earth Time: January 25, 2012 (Early Morning – Tent)


I smiled sadly and looked across the small tent where Young was flipping through three photos over and over.

"Hey." I whispered. Young looked up from the photos she held and smiled my way.

"Hi." Young replied. "I didn't know you were up." She said softly. She slid her photos into her grey runners slid a golden chain I didn't notice before under a green top of Musa's.

"I didn't really fall asleep." I said. Young nodded and turned to Stella. She was curled up under a grey blanket, her blonde hair tangled, and shaking. I sighed and turned to my daughters on my chest. It still hurt to look at Stella.

"Brandon, I know you might not realise this, but she's still there." Young broke my thoughts. I looked at the pink haired fairy with question.

"What?" I asked blankly.

"I don't really know what you think happened to her, but I was with her the whole time. Other than when she was with Fog, but… Umm… What do you think is going on with her?" Young asked.

"I… I- I don't know." I muttered.

"She would be okay if something hadn't happened." She said slowly. "She hit her head a bunch of times; once when the first explosion went off when she was with Fog, the second time she hit her head on the gate when the first explosion went off on the hill, the third time on the gate when the second explosion when off on the hill, and the last time when we transported to the shelter." Young said slowly. "We all are not the best up here." She pointed to her head and shrugged. "I mean, look what we went through! Stella is a little different though. Because she hit her head many times… Well… This made her mind vulnerable for a spell."

My mouth fell open.

"What?" I asked.

"I just put all of the symptoms together last night." Young admitted. "Her eyes are glazed over with flecks of bright green in them, she's always shaking, the screaming, the always gripping her hair, no recondition of anyone or anything, the fear on her face, the blank looks, the mumbling, and also because her roots are turning dark brown and dark red." Young said. I looked at Stella with my eyebrows raised.

She did have different eyes, and she was either muttering to herself or screaming, she didn't remember or she didn't show that she did remember anything, she always had a look of fear or nothing on her face, and she was always shaking. I didn't notice that her hair was changing though.

"What?" I asked again. I sat up and clutched my daughters to me chest tightly; both of them not stirring. "Are you saying that she's just like this because of a spell?"

"Well…" I raised my eyebrow at her sceptical tone. "Partially..." She must have seen my desperate expression because she sighed soon after she said that. "Yeah." Young agreed. "I think there is a barrier blocking her thoughts and only letting in the thoughts the controller wants her to know. It's almost like a mind control I guess." Young explained. I closed my eyes and sighed in relief.

"This is just a spell?" I confirmed.

"I still need to do tests, of course." Young said. "But… Yeah, precisely." She looked at Stella again. "I just felt like you needed to know before the others, she is your fiancée." Young's hand made its way to grasp the chain around her neck. "I would want to be the first to know that my husband is still my husband if that happened to him."

Husband.

I almost envied her for her marriage. I would give anything to have my Stella back and get married to her for real. I wanted the dream wedding that we planned for. I wasn't satisfied with just getting married in a few seconds…


Earth Time: May 12, 2011


Sky had a thick duvet pulled up to his shoulders, a pillow under his head, and tears streaming down his face, even in his sleep. To make it worse, he refused to sleep in a bed and was curled up on Stella's favourite chair at the end of her bed.

Bloom had died a few days ago.

I lost track of time and I didn't know the date. I didn't know the time. What day did Bloom die? How long ago?

Two days?

Three days?

I didn't know.

I didn't want to leave Sky alone and Stella needed me on Solaria. So, us three slept in Stella and mine's room.

Stella sat on the chair overlooking the forest on the balcony. She hadn't said much after Bloom died. Her correlation, the twins early birthday ball and our wedding had been scrapped due to recent events.

I sat on the edge of the bed with my head in my hands.

After all these years, none of us died. When we were on Earth, we thought Nabu died but it turned out it was a coma. Now, two of us died in the span of thirty-six hours. Along with their daughters.

I was still in shock.

The leader of the Winx died… Bloom had died. I didn't know what to think. Stella was scared that there would be no more Winx Club. She thought that Bloom started it and now that she was gone, it would end.

I hoped that wasn't true. The Winx had brought me and my friends together along with my wife and her friends.

Legend, Sky and Bloom's son, was beautiful. He had blonde hair with bits of red thrown in. Slowly, the red was spreading like fire. When he was born, he had a headful of blonde hair, but now he almost had a headful of red hair. His eyes were teal and were sparkling with life.

The children were being taken care of by our castle nanny. She also had Luna and Sonny, so that left Stella, Sky, and I with no worry over our kids.

"Brandon." I was jolted out of my thoughts by Stella's soft voice. I looked at her standing in front of me. Her eyes were big and red, and her hair was glued to her face from dried and wet tears. "We need to get married." She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Right now."

"Right now?" I asked. I looked behind her, at Sky. He was still sleeping. "Stella, Bloom ju-"

"Stop!" Stella hissed. A fresh wave of tears spilled out of her eyes. "I know what just happened to Bloom. That made me realise how fragile life is. I don't want something happening to you or I and us not being married. Even if we are married for a little while before something happens, it will be better than nothing. I want to know we were as much as we could have been if something happens." Stella took a few more deep breaths. I stood up from the bed and wrapped my arms around her shaking shoulders. "Please."

"I love you." I whispered. I looked at Sky, who was still fast asleep. I closed my eyes and buried my face into Stella's shoulder. "Let's get married."

XxX

Stella kneeled beside me in front of an open bonfire. The fire danced around the hearth and heated up my face. No smoke escaped from the flame, but instead only light and heat.

The flame wasn't fire at all, actually. The flame was magma from Solaria's brightest and second sun, Burst. Every current wedding held on Solaria was host to magma from Burst. On Solaria, the suns that we orbited held magic. Burst was an unusual sun because a few months back the Spring of Light and Burst collided. This put an end to the magical barrier surrounding Solaria and preventing communication because Burst was pushed back into orbit and forced the other suns and moons into orbit.

Magma covered in Glamour and dust from the Spring of Light landed all over Solaria. Since then, people of Solaria have been using the magma with the trace of Spring of Light, as we now called it Harala, to use during weddings. Legend said that it the Harala would bond two souls fully when they married.

Stella clutched my hand a little tighter as fairy dust from Amore fell into our hair and spilled down our shoulders.

She had grabbed the first gown that she had seen in her closet. It was a red flowing dress covered in sparkles, with strings and beads hanging from the shoulders and her tight belt around her waist. One of her shoulder's was bare and her other shoulder covered with the cloth.

It was similar to the gown she wore to her Princess Ball, but she got her tailor to remake it after the 'monster' incident.

The man behind the Harala stepped in front of the flame and came face to face with the five people in the room; Stella, me, Amore, Queen Luna, and King Radius.

"Do you, King Radius Lux Demetri Solar Fred Platinum Solaria of Solaria (12), approve of your daughter, princess, and Future Queen, of Solaria, Princess Stella Diamond Lacy Satin Dazzle Solaria of Solaria's, and Guardian of Solaria and Eraklyon, Protector Brandon Archibald George Edwards' (13), marriage?"

"I do." King Radius said.

"And do you, King Radius Martyn John James Fred Platinum Solaria of Solaria, agree to have Protector Brandon Oliver George Edwards as the Future King of Solaria when the time comes?"

"I do." He said again. His hands heavily rested on my shoulders for a brief second before he removed them and took a step backwards.

"Do you, Queen Luna Bright Stara Solaria of Solaria (14), approve of your daughter, princess, and future Queen of Solaria, Princess Stella Diamond Lacy Satin Dazzle Solaria of Solaria's, and Guardian of Solaria and Eraklyon, Protector Brandon Oliver George Edwards', marriage?"

"I do."

"And do you, Queen Luna Bright Stara Solaria of Solaria, agree to have Princess Stella Diamond Lacy Satin Dazzle Solaria of Solaria as the Future Queen when the time is right?"

"I do."

"And do you, Princess Stella Diamond Lacy Satin Dazzle Solaria of Solaria, take Protector Brandon Oliver George Edwards as your husband and king?"

"I do." Stella said softly. She squeezed my hand on top of the table softly.

"And do you, Protector Brandon Oliver George Edwards, take Princess Stella Diamond Lacy Satin Dazzle Solaria of Solaria as your wife and queen?"

"I do." I whispered. Stella looked absolutely stunning. Her hair was braided to her side and over her shoulder and she wore just enough makeup to cover her puffy eyes and tear marks.

"From the power the Harala gives me I give the blessing from The Great Dragon." The man announced. "I pronounce you Protector and Guardian, Prince and Princess, King and Queen, and, most importantly, husband and wife." The Harala's flames turned even higher and the fairy dust turned warm against my skin. "Princess, you may now kiss your beloved."

And that's how our two second marriage went.


Earth Time: January 25, 2012 (Early Morning – Tent)


I was jolted out of my memory shivering.

It still got me that we never had a true wedding. We never got the kingdom there, or our friends, or our family.

My parents never even got to meet Stella or my daughters.

"Brandon?" Young asked quietly. I looked over to the pink haired fairy sitting in the corner. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah… I'm fine." I muttered. I saw Stella stir and make a sound of distress. My thoughts instantly snapped back into thinking about Stella. "Can we heal her?" I asked.

"I still have to run it over with the other healers, but I think so. If we could heal Darcy's spell on the Winx, then I'm sure we can find a way to break the spell of an unknown witch over Stella." Young said slowly. I fell back into a pillow and closed my eyes. "I'll run it by them later today at Alfea."

"Right, that's today." I muttered. I smiled widely and took a deep breath. I looked at Young with a smile. "You just made my whole life."

"Hey, just don't get your hopes up too high. I don't know if this will work." Young replied. "Who knows, maybe if we do heal her, she might not ever be ok. She could suffer brain damage from all of the hits, she could have a mental illness from what she went through. We all could have a mental illness-"

"Promise me that we will heal her." I muttered, cutting her off from the speech she was leading into.

"Are you hearing what I'm saying?" Young questioned with a short laugh. "I don't know if I will be able to heal her."

"She is my whole life." I insisted. "I need to know that you will try your hardest to make her Stella again."

"I'll try my hardest." Young replied. She got up from the ground and opened up the tent. A wave of cold hit me like a ton of bricks. Sonny and Luna both stirred in my arms and slowly opened their eyes.

"Aunt Lex…" Luna mumbled sleepily. She yawned and Sonny held her arms up for Young to pick her up.

"Good morning, Luna and Sonny!" Young said. She quickly walked over to me and kneeled beside my legs and smiled at me daughters. "Do you two want to go outside?"

"Can we help make breakfast?" Luna asked. They were both waking up sluggishly.

"Sure." Young said. She picked Luna up in one arm and Sonny up in the other. She looked down at me and smiled. "We'll be out helping Flora."

"Be careful." I muttered. Young nodded and walked out of the tent.

"Bye, daddy!" Sonny said. Both Sonny and Luna waved as they were taken out of the tent. Young stepped out of the tent and zipped up the door once she was outside.

My head fell back into the ground as I looked at the ceiling of the tent.

I could hear Stella move around quickly in the wool blanket and the sleeping bag. She let out more distressed sounds and a few sobs.

I could feel my heart breaking.

I didn't know why they called it heartbreak. It felt like my whole body was broken too (15).

I got up from the ground and scampered over to where Stella lay. I scoped her up in my arms and pulled her to my chest. I fell to the ground and leaned against the tent pole. Stella's eyes snapped open, but they were unseeing.

"Bloom…" Stella whispered. She stretched her hand out slowly in front of her and swung back around with only air. Another distressed sound.

I clutched her tighter to my chest and closed my eyes.


Earth Time: January 25, 2012 (Present)


"It's okay, Stell." I whispered. "We'll all be okay." She made another sound. "You'll be fixed up again. I promise you." Images flashed across my eyes. "I promise that you won't have to live every day of your life on Magix Hospital's field. I'll heal you." Stella's quick breaths became slower. "If it's the last thing I do."

"Promise to protect Stella. Promise to protect her with all of your power. Please." The red haired witch pleaded.

"I promise." I said. Clair wasn't satisfied.

"Mean it." She demanded. "She is like my sister. She may not see me as a sister, but I see her as my sister. Her parents were my parents. I don't want her to get hurt in any way. Protect her even if it is impossible for you to do so… Pull on your life force to promise. Promise on your life. Only then will I be happy."

"I swear on everything that I will protect her." I told the girl in front of me. "I promise that I will protect her with my life."

I still would follow the promise I made.

Somehow, I thought that Clair was right.

She was always right.

I would die saving a friend.

So, as I stood in front of my best friend with my sword raised to fight an impossible battle, I knew for sure that Clair was right.

I would die saving a friend.

I would pour all of my life into finding a way to save Stella.

It would all be the last thing I would do.

The final moments of my life flashed before my eyes; finding out Stella was pregnant, meeting Clair, reading prophecies about Stella and my children, getting married to Stella, and my final night with my daughters, my wife, and a healer.

My life had changed dramatically when I met Stella.

We went through her first year together, we went through her repeated of her first year, we got through my fake name and title, we fought The Trix four times, we fought Lord Darkar, we got though my fiancé problem, we got through her monster faze, we fought Baltor, we went to Earth together, we fought The Black Circle, we fought her father for our marriage, we went through jealousy fazes, we fought many battle together, we had two daughters, we got engaged and married, and we loved each other and went through so much more together.

My life still kept changing because of her.

I could have honestly said that I was sure that this wasn't the life I planned for with Stella. But as long as she was okay, I was okay.

"Always, in the end, you will run into that same fate. You can't keep running away from fate. It will chase you and you will lose. Nobody ever wins. We all lose. Every time."

I knew that I was doing the right thing.

I didn't run.

Clair had already told me my future. I lived my life with Stella.

I just hoped that my death wasn't just another casualty in this never ending battle. I hoped that I would be remembered as a Specialist and a fighter.

I hoped I would have a face and a story, not just another name on a never ending list.

"If I warn you that you will die saving a friend…"

If by me dying meant that Stella would get pulled out from where she was living then, then I would do that.

"If I warn you that you will die saving a friend…"

Sky screamed and a black power ball came flying at us. I pushed Sky as hard as I could and then I felt pain.

I fell to the ground, burning from the white hot needles poking along my body.

I love you, Stella.

I faintly heard sizzles and more screams.

"If I warn you that you will die saving a friend…"

I love you, Stella.

I love you, Luna.

I love you, Sonny.

I love y-

Then there was nothing.


Word Count: 12, 427 words

Posted: May 7, 2013

1 – Some people think that Stella is crazy, but she's not. Her mind is just stuck on the battle and she can't see what is going on around her at the moment. More will be explained later in the story.

2 – In my head canon, royalty in the Magical Dimension don't give up their last names. Their spouse does. So, it would be Stella Solaria even after marriage and Brandon would be Brandon Solaria after marriage, not Brandon Edwards.

3 – Lani means sky and Sol means ground. Brandon means hill, so his parents got his name by putting their name meanings together.

4 – In my head canon, Solaria is the most influential planet in the Magic Dimension. This includes fashion and style.

5 – I know the sun/moon thing is confusing here is a break down:

Noon: Flames (1st sun) in middle of sky

1pm: Burst (2nd sun) rises

3pm: Rising (3rd sun) rises

5pm: Flames (1st sun) sets, Shadow (4th sun) rises

6pm: Burst (2nd sun)

8pm: Rising (3rd sun) sets, Glow (1st moon) rises

10pm: Shadow (4th sun) sets

Midnight: Midnight (2nd moon) rises

3am: Glow (1st moon) sets, Dawn (3rd moon) rises

5am: Midnight (2nd moond) sets

6am: Dawn (3rd moon) sets, Flames (1st sun) rises

It's not important for this story.

6 – They never make it to Solaria. Explanation later on in chapter.

7 – A pun on Royal Depths from Season 5.

8 – Clair means clear and bright. Meanings of names are important in my story, so this is important.

9 – True story. How else could the Specialists/Heroes go through Alefa's barrier?

10 – Nova is a minor fairy that goes to Alfea and is from Solaria. She appears in Season 3 and is the one to fill Stella in on gossip from Solaria.

11 – There will be a one-shot for those wondering… Sometime!

12: King Radius Lux Demetri Solar Fred Platinum Solaria of Solaria - This is how I got the name. King Radius (from the show), Lux (light in Latin), Demetri (a play on diameter... diameter is a play on radius from Radius' first name), Solar (a play on Solaria), Fred (character from Harry Potter), Platinum (following the luxury theme I set for Solarian royalty).

13: Protector Brandon Archibald George Edwards - How I got the name: Brandon (show), Archibald (means brave), George (another character from Harry Potter).

14: Queen Luna Bright Stara Solaria of Solaria - Name? Luna (from show), Bright (think of light), Stara (stars).

15: The quote "I didn't know why they called it heartbreak. It felt like my whole body was broken too." is taken from the quote "I don't know why they call it heartbreak. It feels like every other part of my body is broken too." I'm not too sure where this quote was originally from, but it is beautiful. It's not mine (just letting you all know). If you find out who's quote this is, PM or review me!

Here are the prophecies made by Clair.

Luna's: The daughter of sun and moon will circle around the circles. She will change Solaria soon with her brightness that shines through. Annual changes will affect her, but know that two chances are too many.

Sonny's: Daughter of sun with vengeance, just try to chase the sun. You may be first, but you will always be last. You may want and never get, so know that your selfishness will corrupt and kill.

Alright, so there is a lot of information in this chapter. I mean, a lot. And there is a new character and few mentions of characters. Here is a list of things, just so we are all on the same page.

Claira: Alright, she is Stella's thirteenth cousin on her father's side of the family. Her real name is Claria (not spelt Clara because of tradition on Solaria), but she is called Clair (not Claire – again Solarian tradition). She is six years older than Stella. Clair is the only living relative of Stella (other than Stella's parents). Clair's mother (Stella's twelfth cousin, Radius' eleventh cousin) died giving birth to her and Clair's father died from a poisoned drink at Radius' birthday ball. She was given to Stella's parents, they raised her, and then she left when Stella's mom was pregnant with Stella. Clair moved to the cave. She has glowing (literally) green eyes, a few shades darker of a skin tone than Stella, and short, curly red hair. She can see the future, she gives prophecies, tells some events, tells names, tells genders, and tells powers. Even if Clair tells a person the rest of their life, the person can't change what happens if they try. Whatever future Clair tells is set in stone.

Sonny: Her full name is Princess Sonny Jean Claira Glimmer Braid Solaria of Solaria. She has curly blonde hair and brown eyes. Clair predicted that she will grow up and become a witch and would like to be called Claira, not Sonny. She has powers over the magma in the sun (like liquid fire)

Luna: Her full name is Princess Luna Hora Diamond Glitter Weave Solaria of Solaria. She has wavy brown hair and had light blue eyes. Clair predicted that she will be a fairy and will have powers over the moon and lunar cycles. Clair also predicted that Luna will die a very painful death because of her powers.

Nova: Her full name is Lacy Nova Glitters, but likes to be called Nova. Clair predicted that she will become very sick. When Stella was 18, Nova does become sick and dies. She's not important.

Yes, I made up Brandon's parents' names, Clair, Stella's name, and Brandon's last name.

Alright, so what did y'all think of that chapter? Quite long, yeah?

So, the last chapter was more of a filler chapter than this one. This one shows more on Stella and her condition… Mainly, these past two chapters (The Last Earth Fairy/Alright) were mainly written for the last bits and more insight into my head canon!

I know this chapter is more confusing than the void from Big Surprise, but I left it like this for a reason. More details below.

***So, this is how the chapter went. This whole chapter was flashbacks (except from the last part… aka; from Earth Time: January 25, 2012 (Present) and below). In the face of danger, Brandon had flashbacks of the most memorable moments of his life; spending time with Sonny, Luna, Stella and Alexis Young, and finding out that Stella could be healed; Brandon finding out Stella was pregnant; visiting Clair (x2); and Brandon and Stella's wedding. This chapter takes place officially at the very last bit of the chapter, where he is talking about swords and Sky (Earth Time: January 25, 2012 (Present) and below) and he is having a flashback from then. Any questions about this, just ask me in a review or PM. Hope that helped… If it didn't help, then the next chapter should clear things up. If you honestly don't get it at all, PM me for a description of the chapter and forget the confusing-ness of this chapter.

Thanks for sticking through that!

The next chapter is still being written, so please don't expect it soon. I am busy every day from now until a few months (I'm thinking August is when I'll be able to write). So sorry. I will try my hardest though!

Remember to review! I want to hear your comments and thoughts about this chapter.

Sorry for any bad grammar! I tried editing it so many times (I went through it quite a few times), but it is such a long chapter that I might have missed a few things. Please excuse that! I am getting better (even from the beginning of Fire of Hope), so I'm happy about that. I have improved majorly from Big Surprise. I thought I'd mention that quickly!

Have a nice day! Remember to review! Keep reading and writing!
