"Let's go shopping!" Stella excitingly squealed to her close knit group of friends as her hands shook from the thought of all of them finally together on a well deserved shopping spree.
Bloom amusingly giggles at her comment before she speaks up, "We should've known that you would say that Stell."
"Really?!" The blonde eagerly exclaimed while her index finger settled against her chin when she suddenly disclosed the reason behind her suggestion. "I mean I do need more fabric for my new collection anyway."
"It's not as if we're going to object or anything." Aisha jokingly proclaims as the group of girls begin to venture back to their respective dorm room.
Musa momentarily halts in her stride, twists until her body complete faces the wooden forest and inwardly ruminates, 'Where did you go mom?'
"Musa!" One of her friends loudly calls out to her once they realize that she was no longer with the group.
'Be safe…wherever you are mom.' She silently prays for her mother's wellbeing right before she speedily jogs in order to catch up with her friends.

"A Celestial Fairy!" The Trix sisters exclaim in sheer disbelief that the pixie currently in Baltor's possession is actually a rare yet powerful fairy.
"I thought they kicked the extinction bucket years ago?" Stormy confusingly queries after she recalls snippets from her History lessons on the extinction of former races.
His gaze drops to the curly haired woman within his arms when he explains, "A few managed to escape to the farthest ends of galaxies and dimensions even unknown to us."
"She's a very special fairy indeed." The purple haired wizard includes while the young witches closely inspects their new prisoner.
Baltor then directs his sights on to his three subordinates when he poses to them, "Have you ever heard of the Codexes?"
"They're ancient relics that brought about severe destruction from the sheer magical force stored in them." Darcy replies to the question as she brushes away a stray strand of her brunette hair.
A wicked smile surfaces to her face when she adds, "Just imagine the havoc you can wreak with those babies!"
"You're looking at the Keeper of those Codexes." He announces, which prompts the witches to exchange expressions of shock across their faces as they piercingly utter "What?!"
A smirk graces the wizard's face as he reveals Alisha's connection with the ancient relics, "She's the map to locate the rest of them."
"Now, if you'll excuse me ladies," He breaks the brief silence between them in order to expound about the situation at hand. "The Slumber Spell I placed on her will wear off and I would like to have her taken care of before then."
The older man was departing from the room with Alisha in tow before a "bang" was a signal that he was no longer within hearing range.
Darcy leisurely peers over at her sister when she instantly signals for them to come closer to her so she can divulge her recent thoughts. "I have an even better idea…that Celestial power is ultra-rare in the magical world."
"Which means it'll increase whose ever power by an infinite amount! Why not siphon it for ourselves?" She suggests with a craze glint to her eyes, which reflects that she is serious about the plan.
Stormy mentally ponders over the suggestion for a while until she encounters a problem, "If we do that then the pixie will be no good when it's time to search for the relics."
The brunette's malicious smirk morphs in to a coyly grin right before she spares a glance at both Icy and Stormy. She confidently assures, "Leave that to me sisters."
"That Celestial magic will be ours."

Taint languorously waves her right hand over a medium shadowy dark oval shape mirror, which instantly dissipates once it returns to her side.
She then releases a heavy sigh and directs her gaze onto the makeshift sky created by their, the guardians', powers. Another deep sigh escapes her lips while she ventures over to where Holy aimlessly stares at the stars too.
"It simply amazes me…the infinite possibilities magic can create." He audibly utters in admiration as he meticulously observes what currently occurs around them.
His grey eyes narrow in on one particular object when he tells his original mindsight about magic. "I always thought it was a simple parlor trick or just a sleight of hand that easily fools the eye."
"Oh, how naïve was I." The white haired male solemnly mutters more to himself as Taint merely tilts her head in confusion at the topic of their conversation.
"It's so much deeper than that…there's spells, incantations, chants, runes, charms and these are just the basic elements to it." Holy excitingly expounded further about what he discovered ever since he became Guardian of the Heavens.
The red head distinctly scoffs at his opinion about magic when she simply claims, "You sound like a brat."
His hand stealthily reaches out for her arms since she was close enough to him, guided her towards him and gently pressed her against his chest.
"It can even create the rarest moments such as these." The white haired male softly whispers against the crown of her head while his free hand combs his fingers through her tresses.
Taint then faintly muffles a counter against his broad chest. "You're still a brat".
Holy amusingly chuckles at her unformed response to a mature conversation and merely tightens his hold on her.

"Can't we get a three day break? These practices are draining!" Riven irritably complains to no one in particular once they finally exit from within the stadium's area.
When no one provided an affirmative or a negative response to his comment, he then directs his sights on to his team only to discover that they were presently distracted.
Brandon and the others were on the phone with their significant other vehemently apologizing for lack of communication along with recounting their past couple of days to them.
"Maybe I should call Musa…" The magenta haired male suggests to himself when he unexpectedly catches sight of Timmy on the phone as well.
'Even Nerdtron 3000 on the phone with his girlfriend,' The Specialists was musing in disbelief while shaking his head.
At the second thought of the blue haired girl, he silently wonders to himself, 'When was the last time that we've talked? Or held a conversation without arguing?'
For some odd reason, he fought the urge to openly display his emotions around the others. Yet, his heart felt otherwise so he burrowed himself in the corner until their break was over.

'My eyes feel really heavy.' Alisha wearily opens her eyes yet her vision remains partially blurry until she specifically hones in on one particular solid object in front of her.
Her sights then surveyed the layout of the building before she deemed that it was probably an underground dungeon.
As she attempts to move her body, she suddenly feels restrictions from her neck, wrists, waist and ankles. To make matters worse, even her wings were shackled and bound by some strange looking cuffs.
The Celestial Fairy peers down only to process the fact that she presently dangles a few feet above the ground.
Alisha then repeatedly tried to free herself but soon discovered that the cuffs were not ordinary and probably were Anti-Magic restraints.
Her mind was recalling exactly how her capture happen, which was sparking a foreign emotion of helplessness coursing throughout her body. Luckily, the vulnerable moment did not last long due to the arrival of Baltor and company materializes in front of her.
"What's the meaning of this?!" The captured woman irritably queries at the sight of her kidnapper and his posse.
A smirk surfaces to his face when he confidently assures, "You'll find out in due time."
"I still don't believe that she's a Celestial Fairy!" Stormy chimed in her opinion about the shacked fairy that dangled midair.
Darcy passes Stormy and pushes Baltor out of the way in order to come face to face with the pixie to excitingly affirm, "An experiment? Sounds like fun!"
"You two will do no such thing." The wizard calmly snaps at the two witchlings while he boldly steps in and separates the three teens from the woman.
The brunette folds her arms and scoffs, "Wet blanket," about the denial to conduct experimentation to confirm her authentication of being a Celestial Fairy.
"There's a reason why we're taught to fear creatures born from the Celestial race, especially fairies." Baltor solemnly comments while he spares a glance at his prisoner.
Alisha sternly glared at her capturer's face since she innately sensed exactly where their conversation was about to head.
His steely gaze roams back over to the Trix sisters when he purposely mentions, "Have you ever heard about an incident were an highly intelligent alien armada attempted to hijack and assert their dominance through conquering each habitable planet in order to create a dictatorship over them?"
The trio shakes their head, which prompts the wizard to regale them with a story from the past. "It's quite a famous part in magical history actually."
"The Magic Council recently installed a Celestial Fairy to handle the dire situation that gotten out of hand."
"She was young plus a tad bit immature in her ways. Nevertheless, she ranked amongst the strongest of her kind."
"How do you think the negotiations faired?" He temporarily breaks from his story in order to hear the witches' prediction about the results of the negotiation.
"Horrible, however it was expected for her first attempt at diplomacy."
"So at the bidding of the Magic Council, she was tasked with the complete annihilation of their race." "Within a few mere incantations, she completely wiped out the entire armada."
"Seeing and regarding her dutiful response to carry out the mission, she later ascends to positions of Galaxy Defender, Multi-Dimensional Chief of the Celestial Heavens Taskforce, Head Trainer of New Celestial Fairies and even was a Major in the Celestial Army due to her combat experience." The wizard rattled off the number of titles this particular fairy acquired over her years.
"With all these accolades and feats to her name, she inds up as a mere guard dog to a bunch of stone relics." The purple haired male finally concludes his story with his eyes close and a gesture with his hand against his forehead.
"Wait a minute…" Stormy breaks her silence first when she inquisitively needles, "You're telling us that this feeble looking pixie is truly…a powerhouse?"
"Why don't you take a look for yourself?" Baltor promptly suggests since it was quite an unbelievable story when he first heard it as well.
He casually approaches Alisha, who wiggles in order to avoid any potential contact with him, taps her forehead and heart at the same time with his index and middle together.
Once he returned to his original position, the spell he casted visually projected exactly what the wizard told them.
"What in the world?!" One of them exclaims while the images play out in front of their very own eyes.
"She's more of a demon than the Three Ancients." Icy dramatically concludes as they stare then shudder at the pixie in front of them.
