CHAPTER 10
Darkar's witches, Icy, Darcy, and Stormy, had finally awakened. The three witches were searching the entire palace of Shadowhaunt for the Lord of Fire but didn't find him. He seemed to have disappeared into thin air.
"Where is he?" Icy demanded, glaring around the Under Realm for any sign of their boss. "Where did he go? How could he have left us like this?"
"Yeah, tell me about it," Darcy said in disgust, as she sat down on a balcony railing. "He never leaves his Realm unless he's doing something devious. How could he have gone to do evil and not take us with him?"
"I don't know but he's not going to get away with it!" Stormy growled, charging up a magical attack. Out of the three she had the shortest temper and never liked being treated like garbage, plus she wasn't the most forgiving person in the magical universe."CYCLONE!" A huge black tornado blew around the castle causing a few of the towers to crumble.
"Stop it, Stormy!" Icy shouted as debris began to fall from the ceiling above them. She dived out of the way of a falling stalactite "You're going to bury us alive with that temper of yours!"
Stormy was too incensed to care. She used her magic to fill the Realm with multiple storms that created more and more chaos. The angrier she got the worse the chaos. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Darcy screamed, dodging a huge stalactite that fell from the ceiling and pierced the railing where she'd been sitting only seconds before. "STORMY!"
Suddenly a extremely angry voice behind them boomed. "STOP IT, THIS INSTANT!"
Stormy froze in mid spell-cast. Slowly she looked over her shoulder. Darcy and Icy did the same. They saw a very angry Lord Darkar, along with a frozen looking woman (By looks and by nature), standing behind them with his arms folded. Right away they could tell they were in trouble.
"Oh, Lord Darkar," Stormy stammered, feeling like a kid that was caught with her hand in the cookie jar after mommy said she couldn't have one. "I... I..."
"HOW DARE YOU!" he shouted at the storm witch. He clenched his fists and contemplated whether to hit her or not. "HOW DARE YOU TRY TO CAVE IN MY REALM! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?"
Stormy tried to think of something to say but the only thing that came out was a very quiet. "Sorry..."
"You'd better be!" he growled glaring at her.
"Who's that?" Darcy changed the subject as she eyed the icy woman behind the Lord of Fire.
"Who?" Darkar looked back at Shiva who stared at him expectantly. "Oh, Shiva," he muttered, feeling the woman's icy cold eyes on his back. Why do you have to be like that...?
"Shiva?" Icy scoffed, glaring at the ice woman with slight jealousy. "She looks like one of those fairy losers."
Shiva stopped looking at Lord Darkar and glared at Icy. She lifted her icy colored fingers and said. "Meanda!"
Ice magic shot out of her hand and enveloped the ice witch. Within seconds she was frozen solid. The Lady of Ice cast her cold eyes on the other two sisters. "Who's the loser now?" she demanded.
The other two witches stared at her but said nothing, fearing she might freeze them next.
Darkar was getting even more annoyed. He got down to business. "Girls," he said after he so nicely unfroze Icy. "There is something I need you three to do for me."
"Yeah, like what?" Darcy asked folding her arms and sitting on the balcony again. "Get the rest of the Cotex?"
Darkar shook his head. "I need you three to go to Mt. Ifirt," he replied.
The three witched stared at him. Mt. Ifirt was an active volcano in the Realm of Fire. It was hard to get in and get out of that place without losing your life. "Why?" Icy asked.
"There is something I need you to retrieve for me," he answered folding his arms.
"What?" Stormy asked sitting down on the floor.
Darkar raised his hand and an image appeared above it. It was a Sphere the colors of fire. Red, yellow, and orange. "This is the Sphere of Fire," he explained."I need you to go get this for me," he said again. "I would go but I am not allowed in. This is very important..."
Shiva nodded. "We need this item," she said to the witches. "This item holds a lot of power."
"How?" Darcy asked in disbelieve. "It looks like a lame snow globe."
Shiva gave the floor back to the Lord of Fire. He really didn't want to tell the girls what it was for because he thought they'd think he was a weirdo or something. "It represents my element," he told them hesitantly.
The girls stared at him like he'd just gotten an extra head. "WHAT!?"
The Lord of Fire looked at Shiva and sighed. Now he'd have to tell them. Why can't these stupid women just agree to do things no questions asked? He looked back at the staring witches and began to explain.
When Mirta and Flora reached the front lawn of Alphea they met Stella, Bloom, Musa, Tecna, Layla, and most of the school there as well. "What's happening?" Flora asked when she and Mirta reached their friends and she'd set the witch on the ground.
"I don't know," Tecna said, fooling around with her little hand held computer. "This doesn't make any sense! My computer says it's not an earthquake but the ground is still shaking! I'm so confused!"
"Oh my god, look!" Bloom exclaimed, pointing at the sky.
All the students including the Winx Club and Mirta looked into the sky. Everyone gasped at what they say. "What is that?" Mirta asked.
"I don't know," Flora said staring at the object in the sky.
The girls couldn't exactly make out what it was because it was starting to get dark. Flora squinted against the darkness. She could just barely make out a serpentine shape slithering across the sky. "I think it's a dragon," she said loud enough for most of the girls to hear.
"A dragon?" Stella gasped. "Did Red Fountain lose a dragon?'
"I don't think that dragon is from Red Fountain," Flora said still watching the Bahamut. "I think it's from somewhere else."
"Like where?" Stella asked looking over at her brown haired friend.
Flora could only shake her head. "I don't know..."
"I do," an echoing voice said behind the girls.,
"What?" all seven girls turned around. (Including Mirta)
A woman in a flowing robe of rainbow colors walked toward them. Even though there was no wind, her hair and clothing moved as if a breeze played with them.
"Who are you?" Tecna asked staring.
The woman fixed her rainbow colored eyes on the girls as she spoke. "My name is Farore," she replied. "I am the Lady of Air and Wind."
The girls stared at her open mouthed. She's another one... Flora thought. Just like Irisa.
Farore raised her hands. "Come," she said beckoning. "Come and I will explain everything."
"How can we trust you?" Stella asked, looking ready to go into her fairy form.
"Because, Stella, Bloom, Musa, Techna, Layla, and Flora, we need you," the Lady of Air and Wind replied advancing toward them. "Please help us."
"Help you what?" Flora asked.
"Come with me and you'll find the answers," Farore explained.
Then, before the girls could protest, Farore created a huge sphere of magic that enveloped all six girls. When the light faded Mirta stood on the school grounds by herself (the other students were there but you know what I mean). "Guys?" she called looking around, her eyes wide in panic. "Where are you? Where did you go? What's going on?"
"Mirta," said a voice behind her.
The witch looked over her shoulder. She saw the school's head Mistress, Miss, Faragonda, standing behind her. "Miss, F," Mirta said, turning to face the white haired woman. "Where are Bloom and the others? They disappeared!"
"I know." Faragonda walked up to the witch and said. "They are fine."
"But where are they?" the witch persisted.
The head mistress gave her a serious look as she said. "The Realm of Mirrors."
"The Realm of Mirrors?" Mirta asked. "What is that?"
"I'll explain later," the woman said. "Come. There is much we have to do..."
A/N
The Guardians told Faragonda about their problem before they took the girls out of the school. That is why she knew about it. Hmmm. I saw the last two Winx Episodes last Saturday. Darkar died way too quickly. He was even weaker than the witch sisters in the first season! I thought he was supposed to be like the ultimate bad guy or something. It was practically like he just sat there and said. "Yeah kill me now I do not care. Because I am too weak to fight back." Erm yeah. I thought his defeat was too fast and too lame. THEY SHOULD HAVE ASKED ME! Hehehehe! He's not doing any fighting in the story (oops spoiler) well not with the fairies anyway.
