Chapter 1: Opening The Seal
But first, my own character for this fic.
Rebecca: Fairy of Shadow: Rebecca is a freshman at Alfea. She is a friendly girl unless you tease her. She has jet black hair that reaches midway down her back with three blood red streaks. Her eyes are deep blue,and she wears black eyeshadow and black lipstick.She dresses in a red halter top and black jeans and has her left ear pierced. Her powers allow her to merge into shadows and glide from one patch of darkness to another. She can also absorb light and create areas of complete darkness. She is often avoided because the other Alfea girls think she's part witch.
The Seal of what?" Musa asked.
The Seal of Oricalcos. From what I've read it one of the oldest magical forces in existence. If we can access its power, we could ace every test we ever take." Bloom replied. "Not to mention not having to worry about the witches."
"Well I'm on onboard," Stella said. "If this thing's as powerful as bloom says, I may finally get to create that new shade of pink I've been dreaming about."
"And I could grow more plants," Flora added.
"I could create more advanced technology," added Techna.
"And I could create music like none anyone's ever seen!" Musa cheered.
"We're with you Bloom," they sad together.
"Thanks everyone. You're the best. All right now, let's get to work. There are a lot of ingredients we've got to collect. Techna, you're in charge of finding them. Flora can yougrow any herbs we'll need?"
"Of course," she replied.
"Stella, Musa and I have a special job."
"What do you mean special?" Stella asked.
"According to what I read, we need six fairies to summon the seal and there are only five of us," Bloom stated. "So that means we have to find a sixth member for the Winx Club."
"All right, let's get to work then," Stella ordered with a rarely seen enthusiasm.
"What's gotten into you Stella, you're never this energetic," Musa exclaimed.
"If we can summon this Seal of whatever, I can create a whole chain of designer cloths."
"I knew it had something to do with fashion."
"Please, what doesn't have to do with fashion?"
"Ok that's enough of that. We've got things to do." Bloom said. "So let's get to work everyone."
The next day the Winx girls asked around about who might be interested in boosting their powers. Bloom has said that they couldn't mention the Seal so they were careful. They got plenty of volunteers. They asked Bloom and she made the final selection after many interviews (in the Winx girls' room to avoid the notice of Ms. G.)
"So Bloom, have you made your final selection yet?" Techna asked. They had to have interviewed at least thirty girls.
"Uh-huh. I've finally got our girl. Rebecca." The other girls looked at Bloom in Shock.
"Rebecca! Why would you choose that weirdo?" Stella asked. "I mean, she's strange, not to mention she has absolutely no fashion sense."
"This isn't about fashion Stella. I've talked with Rebecca a few times and she's exactly the kind of girl we need. She wants to improve her powers and she wants to make friends."
"Ok Bloom, I guess you know best."
"Great. Techna and Flora, do you have all the ingredients?" The girls nodded and handed Bloom a large bag.
"Excellent. I told Rebecca to come here after lights out. Since she can move through shadows she'll have no trouble getting here. Before she does though, we need to get the potion ready. Flora, that's your job. Techna, I need a copy of the seal drawn on the floor of the common room. When you're done we pour the potion on the seal to activate the summoning."
"All right, I'm on it," she said as she left.
"Ok, now all we need to do is wait." Bloom said.
Five yours later, it was time for bed. But not for the Winx girls. They were busy. Techna had finished the drawing of the seal and Flora had the potion ready. They were starting to paint the seal with it when one of the shadows moved, causing Stella to jump and give a shriek. Rebecca glided out of the darkness and smiled at the girls.
"Hey everyone. Sorry for the scare. I couldn't resist," she giggled. Stella looked annoyed.
"You could have ruined our work," she said, pointing at the girls painting the seal.
"Sorry again. So are we ready?" She asked, clearly anxious.
"We are now," Techna replied, applying the last of the potion to the seal, which began glowing a faint green.
"Ok, everyone pick a point of the star and stand on it," Bloom said, walking to the topmost point with the book in her hands. Rebecca chose the bottom point and the rest of the girls took the middle points.
"Now everyone, call out your Winx," Bloom ordered.
Everyone transformed. Rebecca's Winx form consisted of a black top the same shape as Blooms' and a black skirt.
"Great Seal, I call upon you. Infuse us with your ancient magical energies and make us unstopable. Make up the most powerful magical warriors we can be!" Chanted Bloom. As she chanted the seal began to glow brighter. The energy suddenly rose up, forming a wall around the girls. Then the girls felt it, an immense force flooding into their bodies. They could feel their power increasing.
"This is amazing Bloom!" Stella exclaimed.
"I've never felt power this strong," said Techna. Then each girl felt a painful burning sensation on their forehead. As they gazed at each other, they saw a small version of the seal appear on their foreheads. At the same moment the girls' eyes developed red streaks. They each felt as if they were the most powerful being in the universe.
Then the seal stopped glowing and vanished. The girls fell to their knees.
"Man that was intense," Bloom said.
"Yeah, but man I never felt that much power in me before," Musa replied. The other girls nodded in agreement. Then they noticed that they still had the mini-seals on their foreheads. They started to vanish slowly until they were gone.
"Man, I'm beat. I'm gonna go to beg," Musa announced. The other girls got up to go as well. Rebecca walked over to Bloom.
"Thank you Bloom for including me in this. I think I finally have some real friends," she said. Bloom took hr hand and got up.
"We'll always be there for you Rebecca," she said. "You should go back to your room before Ms. Grizelda catches you here."
"You're right. Well I'll see ya tomorrow Bloom. Thanks again," she said as she sank into the darkness. Bloom then fallowed the other girls' example and got into bed.
"I wonder when we'll start to get our new powers," she thought to herself as she drifted off to sleep, wondering what tomorrow would bring.
What will happen next I wonder. Will the Winx girls get their new powers? Will the witches try to take them? Two reviews and I'll post the next chapter. Until then.
