CHAPTER SEVEN:

WITCH IN THE HALL

Brandon duked it out with all his strength that day. Becoming a knight meant more to him than his life..except for his love for Princess Stella, his only love since his years at Red Fountain School of Heroics and Bravery. He scored greatly in shield and Sword, mastered the arts of Dragon Wrangling and did very well on Flag Casting, but the true test came later in the program..

"This must be the most successful day of Knights yet my beloved queen!" the King of Eracneon said to his wife. The queen hugged her husband's arm as they watched Brandon skilfully take on another squire named Corr in sword and shield, at the queen's side Prince Sky was cheering his best friend on.

"Parry Brandon! Parry! Don't let him outta your sight!" Skye shouted. His mother looked towards the blond pretty boy and sighed as she reflected on her son's grown form. His blond hair was streaked with brownish strands slightly turning into a chocolate brownish mane and was tied back with a blueish head band with an amber dragon clipped onto the middle. It was the symbol of Sparx that his girlfriend Bloom gave him..The queen would have been appalled to see anything on his clothing that belonged to represent another planet, but as manufacturing had it made it was the In style of the eight realm area...even the bluest of blue Aquarians (the sea people) wore the symbol of Sparx. Only his sparkling blue eyes didn't change from infancy..oh how she missed having her poor baby blue eyes in her arms. Her grin fell into a frown as squeezed tighter on her husband's arm.

"Don't worry darling. He'll always be our baby boy." Eric replied, but that remark dampened her memories.

"Hello handsome." a voice chanted inside the castle to a guard. Two purple ripples of psychic energy hurled towards him and knocked him out on his feet. Two figures came out of the dark, one had long brunette hair and had a purple pants suit on and the other was an older version of her of around eight years. The older one touched the guard on the neck and turned towards the younger woman. "He'll won't sleep long..we must hurry."

The two women quickly turned into lights of purple energy and ran towards another corridor in the castle and ran out towards a balcony. She saw a giant black cloud coming towards the castle at a steady rate and turned towards the older one.

"The two Stormies are coming in..everything's set." the younger brunette answered.

"Is Bloom there?" the older one said in the exact same voice as hers.

"Save your witching..She'll be here, grandma." the younger one said sarcastically. "If Bloom wouldn't be with her pretty pathetic prince I don't know what the realm's coming to?"

"Hey even though I'm older than you, you don't have to call me grandma." the older one bragged. "I always thought my younger self would be a brat."

"At least she's more fashionable than the Darcy in the future." the younger one replied.

"Ladies.." another voice sounded clearly from the other end of the corridor as two women one older and another younger with icy blue hair appeared.

"How's it going Darc'?" the older one said coolly to the other older one.

"At least it was great when we got out of prison..I love it Ice." Darcy's older clone replied just as cooly as her sister.

"Quit chatting you two. There's no time for a family reunion..we have a little class reunion to attend to ourselves." Icy snapped. "Now come on..we have a match to settle."

"Is it just me or are our Cloud Tower selves are more pissy than I remember." the older Darcy murmured towards her sister as they fell behind the younger witches.

"Remember the past Darcy..we were major pissed when we went to that cute and cuddly boot camp and I'm still major pissed that Bloom is still in charge of our coven's power." Icy's older clone said. "But we're going to get her and squeeze the dragon fire out of her like a tube of Tooth Fairy Paste."

"Ugh...those cute bunnies! I still have nightmares of the bunnies!" Darcy gagged.

"Bunnies and Rainbows and Bloom makes me sick! Come on we got fairy dust to make." Older Icy concluded and they too disappeared down another hall.

Suddenly a blinding flash appeared in the hall revealing the two Blooms and Flora. The teenager stared at the area around her.

"Okay Blue, where are we now?" Bloom asked. Older Bloom set her watch.

"This is Skye's palace..pretty neat huh." Adult Bloom said.

"Sweet. I never thought I'd actually be here." the teen answered. "Only in dreams."

"Well I've been here a lot of times so you'll get used to coming here in the future." Bloom informed.

"Excuse me..but how do you know one of the girls are here?" Flora asked. Bloom looked at a flyer on the wall with a castle border.

"I think I might know." Bloom answered. Flora shook her head in disbelief.

"If you never been here how do you know Musa, Techna or Stella's here?" Flora asked.

"Brandon's name's on this flyer, and where you can find Brandon..."

"You can find Stella." Older Bloom finished. "Come on..the tournament grounds are this way." she added going down the corridor.

"Wait you guys." Flora said as she stopped. "There's a draft in the air."

"What do you mean? It's just a little breeze." Bloom remarked and went on behind her adult entity until she too stopped. "What's wrong Bloom?"

"These." she pointed towards the next hallway where several ice statues stood with shocked expressions on their faces.

"Ice sculptures?" the confused teen asked. Flora shook her head.

"Those aren't ice sculptures..they're people." Flora said putting a hand on one of them. The three fairies quickly came to the same deadly conclusion, Icy, Darcy and Stormy were in the building and no one and nothing was safe.. For the Dragon Fire was going to be in their grasp once again!
