"Girls how may I help you" Faragonda asked as Stella and Flora sat at the chairs in front of her desk.
"Well we came here to ask you something" Flora says gently, planning to ease into the subject. Stella however, dives right into it.
"Well it's about Cronus" She blurts out, from nerves and unwanted tension. Faragonda's eyes widen.
"Stella" Flora hisses at her friend. Stella mouths a sorry and they focus there gaze back to the head mistress. She takes in a deep hollow breath before she starts.
"Well girls, I am guessing this has to do with defeating Cronus, Am I correct?" She pauses for an answer, the girls both nod.
"When I was about your age Cronus took her first essence of her home planet. Consumed by this new found power, like any drug and obsession you want more. What once was the Realm of Ghero is now just an asteroid field in space , which are now the mounds of the remains of the planets that once occupied that galaxy."
"Ms. F are you telling us she destroyed a whole realm?" Stella gasps.
"Yes, her own family was in that realm but she still did what she did… The magic council should have acted sooner. Our appeasement to the situation was the most ignorant and worst chosen decision we ever made. How we stopped her in the end was by being forced to kill her. Griffin, was the one who did it… stabbed her with the Blade of Darken. I didn't see it , but Griffin very rarely talks about it. I don't know what happened but obviously Cronus wasn't killed."
"So, she was killed, or maybe not killed killed , but it was in a mortal way, a dagger. How is she still alive" Stella contemplates.
"Girls I do not know, but I hope this information helps you." Faragonda adds.
"Thank you Ms F for your time." Flora says. Stella and Flora get up from their seats and are about to leave.
"Girls, I know this information is not just for you, It's for Bloom" Faragonda states. The girls look a little bit like they have been caught in the act.
"Do you know her where abouts?" Faragonda asks, concerned.
"Sky told me she went to Pyros, that's all I have heard." Flora says. Faragonda nods slowly taking in the info.
"I know that Bloom hasn't been the best of a friend lately but she will need your help, I am sure just as much a she is, you are determine to end Cronus. Bloom can't do this on her own."
"I know Ms. F but… if you saw the news last night, Blooms struggling with something , It's not from all her experiences after her death but it's something else isn't it?." Flora says, sadness in her words. Faragonda sighs and readjusts her glasses. She knows what's wrong with Bloom and she feels like the girls have a right to know and so she will tell them.
"Girls, I think it's best you sit down again."
(Bloom POV)
It's been one day in Pyros. It remains me of the time I was here and I got my Enchantix. I never felt more powerful … and in control.
Whenever the thoughts come back it's like I can't breathe and have to hunch over at the pressure of the memories flooding back. Mya , has let me stay with her. I tried to give her back the Pyros Essence but she forces me to keep it.
I am heading back to Mya's cave thinking about another thing that is bothering me , no crushing me from the inside out. Sky. Did I break up with him or was it just separation time? Dam it I am so stupid. I want more than anything to just forget about everything, turn back time or runaway again if it meant I could be with him. Some of those things are possible, but for whatever reason my problems always go with me. I miss him more than words. It's like half my heart is missing or a limb has been ripped off. It's breaking me and I can feel it. I even saw it on Sky's face, I hate hurting him.
I reach the cave and Mya is sitting near a pile of snapped twigs and rubs two together. I see sparks appear but she curses when the twigs don't come a light.
"Ah, the perfect fairy for this job, Do you mind helping me Bloom?" She asks in her wisdom filled voice. I smile and nod before walking near her and kneel before the pile of twigs. I feel nervous all of a sudden. I haven't used my powers since, well. I stretch out a shaky hand over the top of the wood. I think Mya notices and watches me curiously. I take a deep breath and spark a light and send it from my hand to the twigs. For some reason it's a bit stronger and the heat waves bounce from it and throws be off balance a bit.
"There you go" I say in a shaky uncertain grin. Mya looks a bit shocked but gets ready to cook something by placing the pot over the fire and I go get the bowls in preparation. When I come back Mya signals me to move and sit closer to her.
"Bloom, I heard about the incident a couple of days ago." She says, tucking the hair behind my ear so she could see my whole face now, nowhere to hide.
"Mya , I don't know what's happening to me, The dragon fire use to understand me, we were one. But now something is overruling me, controlling me. Whenever I feel danger I feel, something take me over , I become so angry and it consumes me. I don't know how to explain it but that's what it feels like… the worst part is when I become out of control I feel myself enjoy it , and I shouldn't … it's not right and it's not me." I finish, my voice quivers and I have taken in deep breaths.
"Bloom, I am going to tell you a story but this doesn't mean this is going to happen to you." She states gently. I look at her confused, before she begins.
"Obviously you must know that you are not the first to possess the Great Dragon's Power, or Nimwah is the ancient Sparks name for her. Many centuries ago, your ancestor, Princess Jade processed this power. She was just like you, maybe not looks, but her driving personality. She wasn't one to give up. She was powerful just like you, able to command the power that ran through her veins, she was one with Nimwah. But Nimwah is always going to be more powerful to us, fairies or any magical or non-magical being in this universe. " Mya pauses in her story telling and I notice she has drawn a serpent dragon in the dirt.
"Jade became like you, in great danger or the smallest bit of uncertainty, became out of control. She became as people would say 'possessed' . Or that's what they say on Earth terms. Nimwah and her became disconnected and meant that the great dragon would take no risks and attack at whatever danger there was. Twisting Jade's mind into what seemed right but was desperately wrong" Mya stops again and traces her fingers in the dirt to show the fire that swirls out of the dragons mouth.
"Mya what happen to her?" I asked. Terrified at what the answer would be.
"They call it a test; some great powers have a mind of its own and test the owner of it. Jade came to the pinnacle of her test. Her parents were slaughtered in front of her eyes. She didn't control herself. She was consumed by rage and bitterness, killing countless lives. She was too far gone by that time to ever come back… I don't understand the test and what has to be proven but don't think this will happen."
My mouth is dry like the sand I sit on. The way she described Jade is just how I felt the other day, twisted into something else. Is this my fate, to die as that, to have to be put down. It adds another unbearable weight on my shoulders .
"So I have to prove something to Nimwah. And then what happens Mya?" I question.
"From other stories you will still obtain the power , just like before." She says" Bloom I did not tell you that story to frighten you, it was to tell you what will occur and what is causing these unpleasant experiences."
I nod slowly, taking all of this in. I have dinner with Mya and go to bed after that. I force my mind to drift elsewhere before I fall into a shallow sleep.

The girls remain silent once Faragonda finishes the story about Princesses Jade of Sparks,
"Girls Bloom need support though this, and I know what happened is hard to deal with and very hurtful, but Blooms reasons for her actions I believe are very valid. The Magic Council is still after her and so is Cronus. If this happens to Bloom, there is no turning back, she will be tested and if she fails…"
"She's not going to fail" Stella huffs out fighting back tears. She still is mad at Bloom,but is taking Flora's advice to try and get past everything.
"I hope not Stella" . Faragonda finishes.
I know maybe not that exiting but, has something to do with the story, something you might not think. Review or fav.
Love you guys
