Hey, thank you for your activity, I decided to add a chapter faster. I dedicate this one to Aleynaaa. I swear that the problems with adding chapters irritate me, but I'm getting better, I guess.
Today you can read about Bloom and Valtor first conversation (over 2,000 words). Next? I don't know when, but I hope that soon.
Chapter 2 - Distance her from good
Everything went wrong. Stella's Princess Ball ended with an unexpected conversion of blonde into a monster. Fortunately, it was able to disenchant it, but a different problem appeared. Layla, a few days ago went to her home planet who was in danger, after returning she told them about Valter. He was a horrible wizard who changed mermaids into monsters and sowed chaos on Andros. Bloom promised herself and Layla that she wouldn't allow her planet to share the fate of Domino. Winx trip to Andros turned out to be another dangerous challenge, they were attacked by sirens controlled by the sorcerer, and later by Trix.
Meanwhile, Valtor watched in secret using his magic as Bloom fought Icy. For a long time he had been thinking about the fairy, he wondered who she really was and why there was such a strong connection between them on Solaria. Eventually, the witches told him a bit about who Winx are. He quickly noticed that Bloom was very powerful, determined and simply different from the others fairies, extraordinary. He saw her fierce look that she if she spoke 'I wouldn't give up'. He felt that it would be good to have her on his side, so when he saw Icy attacked from the back of the redhead, he decided to reveal himself. The girl was drowning, it would be possible that if not for the small platform that Valtor had created, she would have died.
Bloom slowly began to wake up. At first she coughed, gasping for air into her lungs. Only after a long moment she opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was a blurry, unfamiliar figure. Only after a few seconds did she realize that she associate the man who gently touched her hair. She tried to back away, but her weakened body refused to obey. Panic appeared inside her. She didn't know this man, but... no, she saw him. That day in Solaria, when hell was started for Stella.
"You don't have to be scared of me, Bloom, we've already seen in Solaria, do you remember?" she heard his determined, slightly amused voice, anyway of his face also mean that he was having a good time. He didn't laugh at her, not yet. Finally, as if he sensed her discomfort, he moved away, but still did not take his eyes off her.
"Yes, it would be hard not to remember something like..."
"Rare? Intensive? You're right." His eyes were obviously joking, which only annoyed Bloom. He wasn't so relaxed when she met him first time. However, he was so strangely dressed again. Maroon jacket, violet vest over and dark gloves.
"I meant a strange, but it doesn't matter. I'm more interested in whether you saved me now and how you know my name?"
"Of course, I saved you, rather none of your friends or the witches, they're a little bit busy. Before I answer your second question, tell me you don't know who am I?"
She didn't tell anything for a long time, because she combined all the facts. The Trix were powerful, it was sure, but just like Valtor, mentioned earlier, they came to the Omega Dimension. She doubted that they would get out alone. They had already worked with Darkar before, so why shouldn't they do it again with a new danger? Besides, it was suspicious that this guy was just on Andros when it was so bad.
"Oh my God, you are the monster who does all these horrible things!" Bloom gathered all her strength to get up. She was exhausted, but the desire to stop him was stronger. Again someone was destroying the planet, this time not her, but she believed that she could do something about it. There were two balls of fire in her hands.
Valtor, of course, didn't deny, at least not part of his identity.
"Indeed, dear Bloom, I'm Valtor, but I don't understand why are you so nervous? Maybe you're looking a little differently on certain things, but I assure you, I don't want to hurt, until of course no one gets in my way." A cunning smile didn't leave his lips. It has already reached him that Bloom is hard and perhaps their first conversation won't be very fruitful. However, his words caused that the girl abstained from the attack.
"I don't believe you. What is the purpose of all this, that you invade my friend's planet and turn mermaids into your puppets? What do you want?" she asked, understanding that Valtor must have a reason. The explanations came sooner than she had expected.
"Once I was powerful, respected, but I lost everything, the whole dimension stood against me." For the first time today, Bloom noticed another emotion in man's face. The anger that emanated from his tight jaw. "It's a very long and complicated story, I'd like to tell you one day, but it's not time and place, in any case I'm counting on you giving me a chance and thinking about my offer."
"What offer?" she asked suspiciously. Whatever he proposed, she knew that she would reject everything, because her not-so-clean heart had other priorities. They were the protection of the Magical Dimension, loyalty to friends, and daily, relatively quiet life between missions to find her parents.
"We don't have to be enemies. You can understand my motives, get to know my story, then you'll judge what's better for you."
"I still don't understand, Valter. To the point."
"You are very impatient, that's so bad" he criticized her. "I mean that something is bothering you, I don't know what it is, but even I can see it, although we don't know each other well... Magic knows the answers to absolutely everything and as you probably heard, among these exaggerated facts about me, I'm the master in both ordinary magic and the darkest one."
Valtor's words made her froze. Every little memory of dark magic worked on Bloom, who was sure that all the colors had flown off her face. So it was, he easily noticed that she had turned pale.
"Is your problem here? Is it really dark magic?" he asked, satisfied that he managed to reach redhead so easily. At least one of the facts that can help him convince her. "It doesn't matter, don't worry, I'm able to help you. I can do it, Bloom" again he came closer, staring straight at her aquamarine eyes. The fairy drew back closer and closer to the end of the platform. Awareness that he got to know her secret so quickly made her completely forgotten about the possibility of flying.
"I'm not going to ally with you, Valtor. I'm sure you expect something in return, and I don't want to make anything easier for you. On the contrary, I'll make you stop being a problem." Bloom again gathered all her energy to launch one fireball towards Valtor. However, with raised eyebrows, as if in a gesture of pity, he easily crushed her power between his fingers.
"For now, you are too weak and tired, I said, I can help you, but I can also be your worst nightmare. You shouldn't disregard me." His words really sounded serious, and the girl noticed as if his steel-gray eyes were glowing red for a moment.
"I said no, and I'll find a way to overcome you, unless you give up."
"You'll change your mind yet."
At that moment the Winx flew to them.
"Valtor, leave her!" Layla shouted. The wizard, unmoved, watched the other fairies fail with their spells. "You should fight with me, I'm Layla, the Princess of Andros."
Then everything changed. Valtor's eyes filled with aggression and rage, but also focus. His body emanated with blue energy, which clearly collected to some strong spell. Bloom, shocked by this power (like the other girls), moved away from Layla, looking terrified at what was happening.
"In that case, the Princess of Andros, from now on looking into your eyes, your friends, the family, all of whom you know, will remember what price must be paid by those who oppose the strongest. In the name of Valtor, let eternal darkness embrace you."
The man finally attacked, previously repelling Layla's blow, just like Bloom. Again with ease. Blue light blinded the Winx for a moment, and when it disappeared, Valtor was gone...
Taking Layla's eyes away was the worst thing that could happen to her. Bloom continued to blame on their further journey, thinking that she could have prevented it, and that this spell must have been reversed. Unfortunately, her healing power wasn't enough. Bloom couldn't help feeling that the wizard's last statement was more for her than for a dark-skinned girl. She felt as if he wanted to let her know that she would regret it. If it was to be so, he succeeded. She felt sorry for the first time in her life that the bad side again didn't take control of her and didn't kill Valtor. But he was right, because even if she wanted to do that she would be too weak compared to saved the Queen Ligea, mother of Tressa - cousin Layla. This happening has caused something amazing, the transformation of the fairy into a new, stronger form, called Enchantix. Beyond to new spells, the girl could decrease herself with Fairy Dust and break bad charms. Thanks to this last skill in Alfea, Layla regained her made an appointment with Sky, who was supposed to tell her something very important. She waited with anticipation until she saw her boyfriend. After a few difficult weeks, she needed his closeness more, wanting to forget about the adventures on Solaria and Andros for at least a moment. Evidently surprised by the sudden tenderness of his girlfriend, he returned her hug. Their moments together for some time weren't as they used to be, but their love was still going on.
"Hey, what's happening? Please, smile" Sky said, raising Bloom's chin. She did so because she didn't want to worry him. "Much better, so?"
"It's nothing, recently everything was so crazy, we have a punishment from Griselda and..."
"I know that's not the point, you're a different one lately, I know you more than myself." The blond gently stroked her face. He was wrong. No one really knew her, had no idea how she felt alone with all this and no one would understand why she couldn't talk about it. She think everyone had something they didn't want to say, so why couldn't Sky respect it?
"You said you had to tell me something important" she changed the point. Before Stella's Ball she was reconciled to him, she again felt the distance that forbade her to get involved. Sky didn't notice it, he just started telling her about the ball on his planet this Saturday.
"I would like to tell the whole world that we are together." This confession completely surprised her. Contrary to his expectations, she moved away, but smiled.
"I never expected you to do it, I mean, you know your parents don't like me..."
"They aren't as important as you, Bloom, so how will you do me this honor?"
"How could I refuse?" After these words, she kissed Sky.
Valtor after Bloom's refusing didn't have good humor. He had to relieve, but attacking Espero's realm was in his plans anyway. This expedition helped him to calm down and understand that he always gets what he want. Sooner or later she'll go to his side.
He was watching her again, it was obvious that Bloom's relationship with this prince wasn't perfect, and that was a favorable fact to hurt her. All her harm will distance her from good. Not to mention her secret, which he only knew.
His thoughts were interrupted by the witches, especially Icy, who mainly tired him. She kept complaining, assuring him that he has great power, as if she knew better. Valtor lost his patience with her and counted in silence that he would soon be able to get rid of the Trix. But for now, how strange it sounded in his opinion was still not strong enough. His next goal was to visit Princess of Isis. Only Diaspro could help him in his next plan.
