Umm... Hi guys...
So umm... I kinda went on hiatus for a while in March, April and especially May, due to the fact I was working really hard for exams and I kinda got writer's block for this one bit in this chapter which was hard to write. I don't really have an excuse for after May though... I kinda just forgot about this due to being so occupied with school beforehand o.o. Sorry about that, and the wait for this chapter. Trust me when I say I know what it's like to wait for ages for another chapter to come out, so I feel even more guilty cause of that. I had to re-read the story myself just to remember if I'd mentioned certain things or not, and re-watch some of the series to get back into the theme of things (As in these months I haven't watched it either)
And I feel guilty cause I make a promise which I broke by MONTHS. So feel free to rage at me for that
BUT! I am back, and I will try and make this chapter long as compensation to all of you for such a HUGE wait. Forgive me if it isn't, because I wanted to end it at a certain bit. But hey, I'm back
I apologize for the size of the recap and my reply to your review, Miss Mystery. Those seriously weren't meant to be that big. And I also apologize if anything seems rushed, this chapter was actually REALLY hard to write. Why that was, I'll go into detail at the end A/N as it contains spoilers
REVIEWS! I got TEN REVIEWS!, Two from Miss Mystery and the rest from Dragonlover!
Miss Mystery's 1st Review: Well don't worry, all shall be revealed about who the HS is soon. I'm know it's either the chapter after this, which I have written a bit of, or it might even be the chapter after that. I don't even know myself. Perfectly understandable about posting it twice, I probably would've done the same. Oh, well thanks. I actually considered taking out the whole Queen thing because I thought people wouldn't like it or would rage at me for it (But then I realized something and realized I COULDN'T get rid of it, lest I make even less sense). Well I'd love to hear your ideas on the CR! I have a feeling one of them is one that I know is the right answer. You'll find out who it is this chapter, but I still wanna know who you thought it was, cause I like knowing people's thoughts on things :). Thank YOU for Reading, and reviewing! ^-^
Miss Mystery's 2nd Review: It's fine. My pet is in a better place, and Nanny is slowly getting better. She's much better than she was. I feel much better yes, thanks, I'm completely well again now other than Hayfever (Which is annoying, but should be gone soon) I just wanted to get a chapter out, so I pushed myself outta bed (literally) for you guys, didn't realize it'd be inspirational O.O. But I really apologize for the lack of updates, as I said earlier. I honestly thought myself I'd've finished this story by my Birthday, but due to both idiocy and exams, apparently not. Sorry to make you wait so long, but thanks a lot for the encouragement ^-^
Dragonlover's 1st Review: 'Clork Robin'? I'm confused...
Dragonlover's 2nd Review: Yeah I'm fine, but thanks a lot for all your help :)! I only had trouble with this chapter because, although I had the general plot of it planned out, it was very hard to write and I changed many a part, and one part was especially hard. I actually didn't realize would be that hard, but it's all fine now. You're welcome, I really liked your ideas ^-^, and I bet you'll make a great writer and artist when you grow up! You're welcome, and thank you too
Dragonlover's 3rd Review: Once again, you're welcome and thanks for the ideas, they really helped ^-^. Go ahead, write a fanfic, if you wanna then go do it. I'll read it, and I can tell it'll be good from all the great ideas you've given me! Thank you too, and I'm glad I helped you
Dragonlover's 4th Review: Uhh, well she's much better than she was. She unfortunately had a stroke, and she has been recovering very very slowly, but she is a lot better now. Thanks for asking though. Yes, thanks, I'm much better, I'm well again! YAY! Thanks, but I suppose he was in pain from a problem he had, so I guess it was for the best. Ahhh, okay, I see. Well, I can say that there is 100% chance of another chapter after this one and a chapter after that one, one even one after that, and probably another after that. It just all depends on how much I write for the last two
Dragonlover's 5th Review: And I won't admit to anything, so I shall respond to your review and tell you if your right or wrong on a different chapter so if your theory is right or wrong, it won't spoil anything
Dragonlover's 6th Review: Thank you! I did get a lot of rest, actually, by sleeping from Dinner Break (about 1) to about 5 in the evening xD. I then went back to bed as well after, cause I felt so sick, but I got better eventually, :D
Dragonlover's 7th Review: Now seems like a good time. I agree though, it's been waaaaay too long since I last updated, so I apologize
Dragonlover's 8th Review: Don't worry, I'm alright. As I explained, I just got really caught up with studying for my exams and ended up forgetting about this story, until now, after schoolbreak. I'm back though, and hopefully I'll be able to update regularly again. I'm alright though, don't worry :).
Once again though, a big "THANK YOU!" to all you readers, reviewers, followers and favoriters! You guys boost my motivation to write ^-^
Also, HUGS, COOKIEZ AND A BIG "THANK YOU!" to EVERYONE, who- Even though I made you wait AGES for this chapter- are STILL with Me! Thanks for being so loyal, even it took me forever! You guys are the BEST! ^-^
Just a quick warning though, if this chapter seems a little rusty or the *CENSOR CUZ SPOILERZ* part later on is terrible, its because I haven't written a story in a while (Only read in what little free time I had in spring and a lot recently in schoolbreak) and I have never written a *CENSOR CUZ SPOILERZ*-like part before and I seem to be terrible at them. Terribly sorry
Now that that's done, and my slightly distracting Season 6 music is on, DISCLAIMER TIMEE! The Winx Club, and everything inside of that Cartoon Show, belongs to Iginio Straffi (Sorry if I spelt his name wrong). While everything else, unless I tell you all otherwise, belongs to Me!
On with the Story!
Oh QUICK DISCLAIMER! This chapter, although blood is not mentioned, swords/daggers being stabbed into someone is. I don't know if its bad enough to warrant a 'T' for this chapter, but I just thought I'd mention, just as a warning
Recap; Flora and Chatta find the room in the Queen's riddle, "Rosemary's Room", which has the Queen's diary hidden inside. Before they get the chance to read it, however, Flora gets startled by the Queen, Rosie, who- Despite what everyone thinks- was not killed, but now only has a body of Wind, which can only be seen by an extremely powerful Nature or Wind fairy. Rosie finds out that Flora did not come alone, and what her friends were doing, and tells her to go and find the HS. Meanwhile, the rest of the Winx find the HS and corner it in an ally. They attack it, but the attack is shielded by another figure- The Cloaked Robin. The CR tries to help the HS escape on it's Hover Bike, only for it to strangely malfunction and for them to crash. The HS reveals that it is a fairy of Wind, by using a wind shield to protect itself. But, despite this, the Winx manage to defeat it using a convergence, and capture it after the CR strangely runs away. Soon after, Flora arrives at the spot and finds she is too late when she is confronted by the CR, but offers to help rescue the HS. Meanwhile, the Winx take the HS to the dungeons, and are put to sleep by a guard who is revealed to be Guinevere, and the other guard Jacob. They lock the Winx up with the HS, who talks to Stella after she wakes up, and is about to explain something to the Winx that might just reveal the truth
"Griffin... Promise me... Please..."
"You won't die Rosie! You won't!"
"Please Griffin... J-Just... Promise... P-Promise me..."
"You won't die! I won't have to promise because you won't die!"
"Griffin... L-Look at me, p-please..."
"Yes, Rosie...?"
"Pr-promise me... P-Please... Y-You'll be a-alright... B-But I n-need... I need you to p-promise to m-me..."
"But..."
"Please... Promise me..."
"I-I... I promise Rosie... For you, I promise"
"Arhh!"
"Rosie! ROSIE!"
11th of December, 11:45 PM. 15 minutes to Midnight
"Well..." the HS sighed "let me tell you a tale. A tale of a little girl..."
The Winx- All of them- listened intently, curious about what this tale would be about and what it would reveal to them. The HS gulped, took a deep and unsteady breath and opened its mouth to speak
"A-A little girl... W-Who was... H-Hated by..." it continued, but its breath turned shaky as it tried to finish its sentence
"By who?" asked Musa
"By her Father" another voice answered, as the door clicked open
Slowly, the Cloaked Robin walked in, with Flora close behind
"Due to certain circumstances, the Father ended up hating his daughter, and blamed her for what had happened. And the daughter, to this day, believes her father's lies and blames herself" it explained, as Flora began unlocking the Winx from their chains
"They weren't lies. They were the truth, CR, and you know it" the HS scoffed, bitterly
"I would happily argue otherwise, as I normally do, but we're kind of timed here, with about twelve minutes before midnight" the CR argued back, unlocking the HS' chains, causing it to fall to the floor, and land on its feet. It looked up at it's companion, and smiled a sad sort of smile
"Thanks, CR, for coming back" it thanked. CR gave a chuckle
"I would never leave you here. Especially not tonight" he answered with a hug
"Wait. Why are you helping us. And for a better question, why is Flora helping you?" Stella questioned, confused now
The CR looked up at the Princess of Solaria with a grim look on its face "The King, or whoever put you in here, put you in here because they believe you know too much. And anyone who knows too much..." it stopped and gulped
"...Is gotten rid of... And I wouldn't let that happen to anyone. Even though you brought the HS here" it finished
"And I'm helping them because I know whatever the King has said about the HS isn't true, and we need to get it out of here" Flora answered
The rest of the Winx looked at each other, and nodded, as they evacuated out of the dungeons, and were led, surprisingly by the HS, on a route course quickly to leave the castle
They took turns, bypassed corridors and passed by many rooms. However, one of their turns may have ended up as a wrong one, and at the wrong time
Suddenly, the CR -and everyone else- skidded to a halt, shielding the HS behind it, and the HS gulped seeing the room they were in
They had taken a wrong turn indeed
As this was the throne room
And stood there in front of the throne, with his back turned to the group, was the King.
King Griffin Grace
"Ah, Theophilus. How nice of you and your friends to join me" he spoke
Slowly, the CR lowered his hood
"It's Theo, King Griffin"* the CR- Theo- corrected, putting a lot of emphasis on his name
"Theo!? Y-Your The CR!?" Tecna shouted, completely surprised, as were the others
"Nevermind that for now, I'll explain later" he answered. He didn't move his gaze behind him and kept it on the King, but whispered to the HS
"You run, I'll keep him occupied" he whispered, and the HS nodded quickly, before sprinting off towards the double doors that they had come through. But just as the HS was about to get through the door, it shut, tight and was locked
"No! No!" it shouted, banging on the door, and it's breathing quickened as it heard the King speak
"Ah, Rosemary. It's been seven years, has it not?" Griffin asked
"King Griffin, don't do something you'll regret" Theo warned, getting in front of the HS. Griffin chuckled
"Oh I won't, but I'll do something I've been wanting to do for seventeen years" slowly, as he was speaking, he unsheathed his sword. The sword was one of the ones his ancestor, Prince Ajax, had used, 'Dovere', Duty. "Something this little murderer deserves"
The Winx, already in their Believix forms, all got ready to defend, wondering what exactly the King would do. But the HS and CR didn't even have to think to know what
Suddenly, a clock chimed, loudly, and the King grinned
"Well, would you look at that. Twelve O' Clock" he glared at the HS, with a grin still on his face "Midnight"
Faster than you could say 'Cheese Crackers!'**, the King ran at the HS, bringing out his sword and about to strike
"Double Eclipse!" Stella shouted, surprising them all and blocking the attack. Although she still did not particularly like the HS, if Flora was willing to help it and the CR- No, Theo, then she would too
But suddenly, the golden shield glew purple and dispersed
"What happened?" Bloom questioned, confused "I don't know" Stella answered, equally confused
"Silly silly little girls, thinking that they can stop destiny from happening, and stop the future" a voice cackled, like a witch
"We have waited much too long for this moment, but even though your puny little efforts cannot stop us... We would like to make sure" another voice added, chuckling darkly
Two figures walked out from the shadows, behind Griffin. One, a Sirenix Fairy. The other, a man with a dark gray sword with a black glow
The HS gasped, instantly recognizing the two figures
"G-Guinevere and Jacob!" it gasped, and the two figures grinned
"Ah Rosemary, how kind of you to remember us, from that fateful day seventeen years ago... Ah yes, that fateful day where you ruined your life!" Guinevere laughed
The HS lowered it's head, knowing what they were talking about
"Leave her alone! It wasn't her fault!" Theo defended, taking out and readying his phantoblades
"Oh but it was, was it not, Griffin? You saw it with your own two eyes, did you not?" Jacob questioned, looking at the King
"She killed her! She murdered my wife! My dear Rosalina!" shouted Griffin. However, everyone but Flora and Musa failed to notice the faint purple glow in his eyes. In fact, they noticed that his eyes both had a purplish tinge to them, something they had failed to notice from day one
"But onto more pressing matters. Afterall, what kind of friends to the little Hooded Sparrow would we be, if we didn't give her any Birthday Presents!" she laughed "Northern Blast!" she shouted straight after, firing a wind attack
"Spring Ring!" shouted Flora, blocking the attack
"Stella, you, me and Aisha will take Guinevere. Tecna and Musa will take Jacob, while Theo and Flora and protect the HS. Make sure the King cannot get to her!" Bloom ordered, and everyone nodded- Bar the HS, who was beginning to hyperventilate and was trying to back away, its eyes set on the King. The reason Flora was set to protect the HS was due to the fact she knew the most protection spells, and Theo would help due to his connection and knowledge of the HS.
"Ha! You actually want to defend that Murderer? I must say, I'm quite surprised! After what she did to the Queen, I thought you'd all be willingly handing her over" Guinevere mocked before firing an attack on the three, as her words caused the HS to grimace greatly
"I don't know why it did it what it did, if what you say is true. But I do know that it has been trying to help everyone out as much as possible, and if it is willing to help us get out from potential death despite what we did and said to it, and Flora and Theo are helping it, we will to!" Aisha spat back, firing her own attack "Morphix Wave!"
"Northern Blast!" the evil Sirenix fairy shouted back, firing her own attack which collided with Aisha's. But she wasn't done there
"Midnight Gusts!" she shouted, firing another purple tinted attack
"Double Eclipse!" Stella brought back up her shield. But, just as the attack was about to hit the shield, it split into two and went around it, aiming for Stella and Bloom. The Princess of Domino managed to avoid the attack, but Stella wasn't so lucky. She was hit, and landed on the ground with a *thud*, and her two companions rushed down to help her
"Are you alright?" Aisha asked, and she helped Stella up. The fairy of the Shining Sun gave a small cough, and answered
"Y-Yeah, fine. C'mon, let's get back up there" before flying back up, her friends close by
"I know, lets try a convergence!" Bloom suggested, and the other two nodded, and the three held hands. Guinevere noticed this, and just laughed
"Oh, so you think holding hands is going to stop wittle ol' me?" she mocked, and laughed again, not knowing what they were really doing
"Ocean's Burning Light!"*' the three shouted, using a convergence spell, which hit the evil fairy as it took her by surprise. She growled, and fired an attack back at them, and the four engaged in a battle
After a bit, the three Winx decided to try to end this, and attacked
"Fire Arrow!"
"Sun Dance!"
"Andros Hurricane!" the three shouted simultaneously, each firing their own attacks. Guinevere frowned, weaved around two, and brought up a shield for the last one. But the Fire Arrow that she had dodged around, without her realizing, had come back like a boomerang and hit her in the back, almost causing her to fall to the ground due to the surprise of it
The Sirenix Fairy growled, knowing that together they had great strength, and tried to think of a way to both break their concentration and break them apart.
Suddenly, the Winx grew worried as they noticed Guinevere's frown turn into a huge, evil smirk, as she brought her hands in the air, now both glowing a dark purple, and began to chant
With Tecna and Musa, the situation wasn't much better, as- although Jacob was a boy and therefore was not a fairy- his sword seemed to have magic embedded in it anyway. With every slice through the air, a magic attack along the slice was fired towards them- And a big one at that*''
"Aw, what's wrong little fairies? Scared of a few small blasts of dark magic?" he mocked, seeing them weave around the magic blasts. At this, Musa frowned, but saw that he was distracted and fired an attack
"Harmonic Attack!" she shouted, and her attack separated into two, something Jacob failed to notice. Easily, the villain blocked the one attack with his sword, but failed to dodge or block the other, which he only noticed when it hit him, and shoved him to the floor
Growling, Jacob got back up and swung an attack back at them, which hit them both and knocked them to the floor. He grinned, and began to laugh, as he made the mistake of mocking them
"Aww, do the wittle faiwies need a nap?" he mocked, angering Musa again, and she shouted again
"Stereo Crash!" the sound waves caused Jacob to drop his sword and cover his ears, trying to block them out. Tecna noticed his distraction, and said quickly
"C'mon, lets try and take him out with a convergence. It should do the trick" Musa nodded, and the two held hands
"Digital Sound Waves!"'* the two shouted, firing their convergence attack. The amplified sound waves hit the distracted Jacob, but he continued to hold his ears against them instead of fighting back. Eventually, he growled, let go of his ears, grabbed his sword and shot waves of attacks at the fairies, and the spell finally stopped.
Jacob was about to lash out in even more attacks, when he noticed something. He stopped, and gave a huge evil grin. Musa and Tecna followed his eyes and saw exactly what he was looking at. Guinevere, with an evil smirk, brought her hands in the air, both of them glowing a dark purple and she began to chant. But what worried the two even more, was where her attack appeared to be aimed
During this, Theo was battling King Griffin, face on. The King in question growled, as their swords locked together, both battling for dominance
"I don't want to hurt you Theophilus. Just get out of my way!" he demanded, angrily, shoving Theo back
"Never! I won't let you hurt her!" he spat back, blocking another attack
"You'll defend a Theif!? You'll defend a Monster!? You'll defend a Murderer?!" he growled, shouting. This seemed to cause something in Theo to snap, and he himself growled
"How many times do I have to make myself clear!? IT WASN'T HER FAULT!" he boomed, angrily beginning to attack the King. However, in his rage, he lost all concentration, letting Griffin easily powerfully kick him in his stomach, and kick him away.
As Theo zoomed towards the wall, he lost his grip on his phantoblades, both flying off in different directions. After hitting the wall, he groaned, and tried to get up. But, for some reason, he seemingly magically lifted from the ground
The boy looked up, and was face-to-face with King Griffin, who was holding him by his shirt
"You know as well as I do it was, my boy" he whispered, menacingly, before using both his hands, and his foot, to catapult Theo towards the throne.
King Griffin saw that the boy didn't try to get up, presumably unconscious. He cracked his knuckles, before unsheathing his sword, Dovere, and turning towards Flora and the HS
He heard chanting and saw a purple attack heading towards the two, but payed neither mind. All that mattered to him now was that he could easily get to the HS
After all,
He had unfinished business with her
Meanwhile, as Theo tried to deter the seemlingly-crazy King, Flora was trying to calm the HS, who was hyperventilating as memory upon memory stormed its way through its head
"N-No... I-I... I-I'm sorry... D-Don't hurt me... P-Please..." it sobbed, curling into a ball against the wall. Flora had a pretty good idea of what the HS meant, and did all she could to try and comfort the hooded figure, hugging it as it sobbed, and letting it cry into her
"It's alright, no one will hurt you. We'll protect you, don't worry" the fairy of Nature comforted, hugging it. The HS tightly clung onto Flora as it broke down, as if it would fall into a deep abyss and die if it let go
"I-I didn't m-mean it... I d-didn't w-want to..." it kept murmuring and sobbing out
"I-I'm so... s-so s-sorry" Flora carefully began to stroke its back comfortingly, like a Mother would to her Child, and rocked it a little, back and forth. This seemed to be working, and the HS began to calm down a little, but was still broken. It still continued to break down in the fairy of Nature's arms, though not as bad as before
Suddenly, the two saw Theo crash into the wall, and the HS gasped
"T-Theo!" it gasped out through its sobs, and it was about to run towards him and help
But then the King walked up to him and grabbed him by his shirt, causing the HS to try and hide behind both its arms and Flora's. The King then threw Theo, who landed next to the Throne, and didn't move
Flora saw Griffin turn towards them, and knew his next target. She also knew that even if she tried to defend the HS, she would end up like Theo. How did Flora know this? Simple.
She knew that he would have help
Help from a certain Sirenix Fairy, who already seemed to have increased his strength
So instead, Flora suddenly came up with another idea. She had completely forgotten about her Zoomix Wings!
"HS, I need you to stand up. I won't let go of you, but I need to stand up. I'm gonna get you out of here" she whispered, and the HS- though reluctant and unsure about standing up- slowly stood, clinging onto the flower fairy
However, just as Flora was about to get her Zoomix wings, she, and everyone else, heard something- Chanting
"Winds from the Mountains,
And Evil from Within,
Curse now my Enemy
So that I now may Win
Evil Winds A Brewing
And Evil from Within
Curse this here fairy
With the Curse Of the Wind!" the voice chanted, before breaking out into maniacal laughter. The voice was none other than Guinevere, who fired her attack towards Flora and the HS
Neither had enough time to react, and the HS believed this was game-over for it. Silently, it was thankful that it would die like this, instead of by... Him...
But it was wrong. Oh, how it was wrong. The Evil Sirenix infact had a different target. A certain Fairy of Nature, who was standing between the King and the HS
The attack hit Flora, pushing her to the floor, and everyone watched in either horror or amazement.
Before everyone's eyes, Flora turned translucent, and slowly began to loose her colour
Aisha was the first to react, and grabbed Guinevere with her hands, ready to pummel the Sirenix fairy
"What did you do to her!?" she demanded, causing Guinevere, along with Jacob, to laugh. The fairy just shoved her off, and grinned
"Oh nothing much. Just used an old spell of mine, to curse her with a little old favorite, 'The Curse Of the Wind'" she laughed "Within I say about... Hmm... Half an hour, your little friend will have disappeared" she smirked as she came to the last part
"And then there will be nothing you can do to save her"
King Griffin, who had payed no mind to any of this, was nearly at the HS. The Hooded Sparrow had since backed away, and slowly lowered to the floor, once again curling into a ball. Its eyes watched the King in fear, now trapped. Flora tried to fire an attack, but it just went through the King, as did her hands. The HS was unprotected now
All of a sudden, just as Griffin was about to strike, another sword clanged onto his. Only, this time, it was a sword he recognized, as- for some reason- it was his own. Regalo, was stopping Dovere from striking the HS. And the one who was holding Regalo was none other than the Cloaked Robin himself- Theo
"I said I wouldn't let you hurt her, and that is a promise I intend to keep!" he said with his teeth gritted, shoving the King away. The King growled
"And I said to Get Out Of My Way!" he growled, drawing a dagger and throwing it. Theo was about to be hit, but was shoved out of the way and heard a scream of pain. He looked to where he was, and saw the HS, with the dagger imbedded in its shoulder
Despite its fear, it had taken the blow meant for him, and looked up. Its fear doubled as it made eye contact with the King, but it tried to stand strong
"T-This... Is between you... And me..." it managed to say, with an amazingly strong and calm voice, considering how minutes ago it was breaking down and could barely speak without a sob, and how it also had a dagger in its shoulder
Slowly, it gripped the dagger in its shoulder and pulled it out, gritting its teeth all the while, and dropped the weapon on the floor
"So leave Theo out of it" it finished, its eyes dimly glowing
Griffin, however, paid no mind, and kicked the HS to the ground. Its brave streak now over, the HS curled into a ball and covered its head with its arms, now awaiting its fate
"No!" Theo shouted, as he got up and ran to her. But a purple shield around the two stopped him, and the Winx who had flown towards the two to try and help the HS
Now all they could do was watch as the King slowly approached the Hooded Sparrow, and slowly raised his sword, Dovere, above his head, preparing for the final blow.
"Yes! Kill her! Kill her now!"
"Griffin... Promise me... Please..."
"Hurry up and kill her!"
"Please Griffin... J-Just... Promise... P-Promise me..."
"Why is this taking so long!? JUST KILL HER!"
"Griffin... L-Look at me, p-please..."
"You've been waiting for this for Seventeen years! Now do it!"
"Pr-promise me... P-Please... Y-You'll be a-alright... B-But I n-need... I need you to p-promise to m-me..."
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? KILL HER!"
"Please... Promise me..."
"DO IT! DO IT NOW!"
"Arhh!"
"JUST KILL HER ALREADY!"
"Promise Me..."
"ARRHH!"
Wow. It's weird writing the HS so... so Distraught. I'm used to writing a more 'overconfident' HS. This was planned out and it still feels weird. Let me know if you guys feel I made the HS waaaaaay too, for lack of better words, 'weak and distraught', even though it has faced kidnappers and all. You'll understand once its all explained
But hey, cliffhanger! xD
Finally, another chapter, over and done with. AT LAST!
Just gonna say, if this chapter seems a little rusty or the fighting scene is terrible, its because I haven't written a story in a while (Only read in what little free time I had in spring and a lot recently in schoolbreak) and I have never written a fighting scene before and I seem to be terrible at them. Terribly sorry
You know though, despite the general plot being roundabout the same, this chapter actually ended up waayyyy different then what I had first written the most part of it as before my hiatus. Originally, I was gonna add the pixies helping Flora and CR help HS and the Winx, along with two other characters, but I ended up scraping that as I realized if they were there, they would end up having to somehow disappear during the fight scene because otherwise they'd do utterly nothing. Originally there was even a few "linked to unknown" and "unknown when" flashbacks by "unknown" like there has been before at the start of a few chapters, but they gave away too much info
I also was going to add another character (one who you have seen before, albeit not much), but eventually I decided against it and decided to leave the fight between Griffin, The Winx, the HS and CR and the two baddies. But said character WILL appear in a later chapter. Either next one or the one after. Haven't decided yet, so don't judge me
And yes, the CR is revealed! *To the tune of Ode To Joy* EXPOSITION! EXPOSITION! RUSH IT OUT AS-AP! xD
But in all seriousness, this chapter was actually really hard to write. I had to literally write notes IN the chapter at certain bits to remind myself to add something or move something in case I forgot, or to get rid of something, cause there were some things I wanted to add and some I thought didn't make sense.
But even more to the reason it was hard, for some reason the bit where they meet the king onwards to the fighting bit were hard. Even though those bits are the bits I have been planning out from day one! I had all these plans for these bits and the moment I come to write the bits POOF! They're gone! (And I can't do fighting scenes to save my life...)
Also, bits xD
But anyhow, on to the '*'s!
*- I have been waiting for SO LONG to fit that in somewhere! xD. Seriously though, no offense to anyone with the name Theophilus! It's an AWESOME name! The reason I made him not go by his full name and not like it is cause I actually originally just named him "Theo" and a full name, but then I realized Theo could be short for Theophilus and that it would be cool to call him that, but I still wanted him to be called Theo. So I came up with the excuse that Theo prefers his nickname, because my oldest brother has a similar situation
**- Again, a reference to that fake and jokey excuse my brother made including me, which I used a few chapters back. I think that's what I'm gonna use from now on for "As quick as you can say *BLAH WORD*" xD
*'- Okay, so I found out Stella, Bloom and Aisha have never done a convergence together. And so I had to come up with one on my own. I know, its terrible, and I apologize. I tried my best (It's hard to think of names while listening to catchy music .-.)
*''- Okay, so I'm pretty terrible at explaining things, as you all know, so basically its the attack done on Sonic Heroes when fighting Egg Emperor. Jacob does the same thing with his sword as Egg Emperor's attacks with that's sword, except Jacob can do them diagonally and at basically any angle. Sorry about that
'*- Again, I had to create a convergence spell myself. So I apologize for how terrible it is, I tried my best
Anyhow, I'm about to go out now with my family to do something, so I'm just gonna hurry up and post this chapter before I run out of time
Last but not least, remember to review, be it an insult, criticism, suggestions, theories or just an opinion, to tell me what you think! And I'll see you all in the next chapter! (Which won't take as long to write)
BYEEE!
