Disclaimer: I don't own Winx Club. If I did I wouldn't be overworked, underpaid, and having tests every other day. Fortunately, Spring Break is coming up soon, so I should be able to get some stuff done then.

ShortAsianv23, uh, no. Amelia does not have any of Eclipsis's power, and her grandmother is not Eclipsis's daughter. I don't know where you got that from, but it's wrong. Unless you meant to say Allanya, in which case you're closer, but Amelia's grandmother is still not Allanya's daughter. As for what Eclipsis really looks like, the only people who know that are Allanya, Arcadia, and maybe the other original magic users, if they're still alive.

alenadira2, it's easier if you understand the pronunciation. Reyva is pronounced Rey-Vuh, with the emphasis on the second syllable. I suppose I should also clarify the pronunciation for Dhalia too, because that's the weird one. The h is almost, but not quite, silent. There's no good way of spelling out the sound because it's very subtle and not one you see a lot in English, but I'll see what I can do. D(h)al-Ya. Yeah, not very good.

On with the story!

The five fairies burst into the air above a quiet green landscape of gently rolling hills and tidy looking forests. The sound of birds chirping drifted through the late spring air.

But they had no time to admire the scenery. "Amelia, how far are we from the seal?" Dhalia asked.

"Not far." Amelia replied. "We're actually already over it, but the center of the seal is a few miles to the south."

"Then let's go."

The five fairies flew south over fields, forests, and roads. "There!" Amelia pointed at an odd structure.

"That?" Reyva asked. "It's just a ring of stones!"

"It's the center of the seal!" Amelia replied.

"Perdi, do you know anything about this?" Artis asked. "Why is there a ring or stones at the center of the seal?"

"That's Stonehenge! One of the most famous ancient buildings on Earth!" Perdi was stunned. "For years no one could figure out what it was for, but I never thought it would have anything to do with Eclipsis."

"Is it the focus for the seal?" Dhalia asked. "Do we need to defend it?"

"...No, it was put in place after the seal." Amelia said. "The seal itself is bound to the land."

"Then why is it here?" Reyva asked.

"I think I know." Perdi said. "This seal is so powerful that any magical being withing a hundred miles could sense it. I imagine even nonmagical beings could sense it if they got close enough."

"And?"

"I think this is simply a marker, or perhaps a reminder. We'll have to get a closer look."

"Alright then." Dhalia said.

the five fairies descended.

The tourists at Stonehenge were surprised to see five fairies coming to visit the monument. Magic had been back for fifteen years, but fairies were still far from common. Cameras immediately swiveled towards the new arrivals.

"Great." Dhalia grumbled under her breath. "We're going to have to protect these people too if Eclipsis attacks. Because life wasn't complicated enough already."

"Just make them stop taking pictures!" Artis whined.

"If you don't want your picture taken then go hid behind Reyva." Amelia said. "We have work to do here."

"Right."

"We should get them out of here." Dhalia said. "If Eclipsis does attack we won't be able to guarantee their safety."

"And how do you plan to do that?" Reyva asked with a hint of sarcasm.

"Perdi, can you convince them?" Dhalia asked.

"Yes, but..." Perdi hesitated. "I'd rather not."

"It's for their own safety. We can't be worrying about them while we're fighting Eclipsis."

"...Okay."

The Fairy of Thought put her fingers to her temples. Slowly the crowd began to disperse, drifting away from the megaliths as though propelled by an unseen force.

"There. They'll go home now."

"Good." Amelia said. "I don't want anyone else getting hurt because of us."

"We should probably make camp here." Dhalia said. "Reyva?"

"On it." The Fairy of Reality said. "Spacial Pocket!" A small portal opened. Reyva reached in and pulled out their gear. The five fairies immediately set to work, putting up the tents and getting out their other gear.

At the bottom of the pile were five bundles of cloth. None of the girls made a move to touch the cloth-covered objects.

"Why do we keep these things?" Perdi asked, staring at the long curved package.

"To remind ourselves of what we did." Artis's voice was flat and toneless. "So we never forget how much our mistake cost the Magic Dimension."

Reyva's gaze was fixed upon the largest object. She wasn't much for regret, but she deeply, deeply regretted this. "We never should have gone to Univix."

"It was all my fault." Amelia said. "If I hadn't been so set on getting my own powers, none of this would have happened."

"Alright, we messed up." Dhalia said. "Now let's do something about it, and stop Eclipsis."

"Right!"

The sun was setting as the five girls gathered around their small fire.

"I hate to be the one to bring this up," Amelia said, "but how are we going to stop Eclipsis in the first place?"

"I'm sure we can figure something out." Reyva said. "With our powers, nothing is impossible."

"We will stop her." Artis said. "And we will stop her for good."

"But how? What can we do to beat her?"

"Whatever it takes." Said Artis. "We will eliminate her from the Magic Dimension."

"It's time for bed." Dhalia said. "Reyva and I will take first watch."

Amelia woke to someone shaking her shoulder. Judging by the vigor of the shake, she guessed it was Reyva.

"Your turn to watch." Reyva said. "Dhalia already switched with Artis."

Amelia grumbled a bit but got up. Reyva immediately lay down on her bedroll and went to sleep.

Amelia walked out into the brisk night air. "Hey Artis."

The other girl did not respond.

"Artis? Is something wrong?"

"Eclipsis." The word came out like a splinter of ice.

"Artis, what's the problem?" Amelia asked. "This isn't like you."

"I don't want to talk about it."

"If you're sure."

The other fairy said nothing.

"Okay then." Amelia wandered over to the other side of the camp to keep watch.

Something was bothering her, but she just couldn't figure out what it was. They'd discovered Eclipsis's true purpose on Earth, as well as an explanation for why she'd been born without powers, but it only raised more questions. And more guilt. The earrings had survived for ten thousand years. It had taken her less than ten to break one. She thought back to the earrings. Opposites together. Why did that seem so important? If Eclipsis had an opposite it was Allanya, but she was in Univix. They had no way of contacting her.

Perdi walked over. "Could you not think so loudly?"

"Oh, sorry Perdi. Did I wake you?"

"It's okay. Artis was about to wake me anyways."

"Is there something you'd like to talk about?"

"No, but there's something you'd like to talk about."

"Please don't do that."

"Sorry, but you were thinking so hard it was like hearing someone shout."

"I said I was sorry."

"So, do you want to ask or do you want me to just tell you?"

"I'd rather ask."

"Then do so."

"Perdi, do you think you could contact Allanya?"

"Possibly." Perdi considered for a moment. "Normally, there'd be no way to reach anyone in Univix, but in this case it just might work."

"Do you need anything?"

"No, just sit still."

Amelia sat.

Perdi touched her fingers to her temples. "I'm going to try to use the fact that you and Allanya are related to open a psychic link between the two of you. I won't be able to listen in, it's going to take all of my focus just to keep the link open. Good luck." With that, Perdi closed her eyes and began a soft chant.

"Trace the ties that last forever/Connect the ones, bound together/And seal the rift of time and space/Speak together, face to face!"

Amelia was disoriented for a moment as the night landscape rippled out of existence. She was back in Allanya's house. The Lady of Magic stood before her, her face drawn and worn.

"Allanya, I-" Amelia stopped, unsure of where to begin.

"You know." It was not a question.

"...Yes."

"I am indeed your ancestor. And your earrings are the same ones that once belonged to my daughter."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I was afraid."

"Afraid?"

"Afraid of what you might think of me. After all, I am the one responsible for your lack of powers."

"What? How?"

"My daughter's powers came from me. They were bound to my own powers. When I gave up my original powers hers were lost as well. Even my granddaughter, young though she was, lost her powers."

"You gave up your powers?"

"Yes."

"How? Arcadia said that powers earned in Univix cannot be taken away."

"What she said was true, but it was not the whole truth."

"Tell me." Amelia pleaded. "I need to know."

"Listen carefully. There is one way to remove the powers of Univix from a person. You come from the realm of opposites. Have you never wondered about Univix, and where its opposite is?"

"You mean-"

"Yes. It's name is Altivix, and it is the balance to Univix."

"And you went through Altivix."

"Yes. I stepped through the Gate of Mortals, and in so doing relinquished my powers."

"But you have powers now."

"Yes. I returned to Univix and passed through the Well of Magic a second time. My new powers were staggering. I could create magic where none had been. I could bestow the blessings of powers on entire realms. I could do anything, except cure Eclipsis."

"But why did you go to Altivix in the first place?"

The Lady of Magic stared at the floor. "...For Sasha." Allanya's voice was soft and full of regret. "Eclipsis's daughter."

"You wanted to cure her."

"Yes." She looked up. "But just as my daughter's powers were bound to mine, Sasha's powers were bound to Eclipsis's."

"So you left her in Altivix?"

"I had no other choice. I had to stop Eclipsis."

"Why didn't you take Eclipsis to Altivix?"

"I wasn't strong enough. No single person is strong enough to keep Eclipsis contained long enough to get her through Altivix, and I couldn't ask anyone else to sacrifice their powers on such a risky plan."

"So you sealed her Univix. How?"

"As the Lady of Magic, I can open portals to Univix. I cannot leave however. My magic binds me to this place."

"Why did you go back in the first place then?"

"I wasn't strong enough to cure her. The least I could do was watch over her."

"Why do you care so much about her?"

"Because she should not have to suffer so much for one mistake."

"That is not an answer."

"...You will take Eclipsis to Altivix?"

"If we can."

"Find Sasha. She can tell you everything. Goodbye Amelia." The scene began to fade.

"No! Wait! I have so many questions!"

"Goodbye Amelia. Remember Sasha. Remember Eclipsis. Remember who you are, and remember who you were. Goodbye."

The house vanished and Amelia was back on Earth. The sun was just starting to rise, the first rays peaking over the horizon.

"How did it go?" Perdi asked.

"I know what we need to do." Amelia looked up at her friend. "I just don't know how."

"We'd better wake the others."

"Yes. They should hear this too."

A/N: Things are starting to come together. Eclipsis can be beaten, but what role does her daughter have in this? Where is this Altivix anyways? One thing is for certain, Eclipsis will make her next move soon. Can she be stopped in time? you'll have to wait and see.

So I finally got around to seeing the two new episodes. And I realized something. The Winx are rapidly becoming a group of squeamish cowardly girls! Seriously! The mummies appear and what does Musa, arguably the bravest of the Winx, do? Shriek in terror. I don't remember much shrieking in season one. Or season two. Or three. Or even four. There was definitely some shrieking in season five, and now it's gotten out of hand. They fought the Army of Decay, something similar to, but far worse than mere mummies, without any shrieking or panicking. Now they're five years older and six transformations stronger (arguably eight, but I'm not counting Sophix and Lovix as separate transformations), and they panic at the most pathetic of foes. Give me a break! Freaking out over what amounted to walking balls of yarn? Please! That's not the Winx I know and love. The only good part in the most recent episodes was how they handled Daphne's powers. I was worried they were just going to make her a clone of Bloom, throwing fireballs and fiery dragons around, but what they did was to make her a far more versatile fairy than I expected. So far she can use fire, water, and earth, but I doubt that's the extent of her powers. We'll have to wait and see.
