Enter The Dragons:
Professors Saladin and Faragonda were in the Cloud Tower book chamber.
"Listen here," Ms. Faragonda said. "Over three thousand years ago, the dark forces of the Oricalcos rampaged across the universe, bringing destruction to all in their path. The forces of good, seeing their doom was at hand, banded together. Combining their magic they created three legendary dragons. Timaeus, dragon of the sky, Harmos, dragon of the earth, and Critius, dragon of darkness. Together, these dragons vanquished the dark armies of the Oricalcos and sealed the magic itself away for all eternity."
"Does the book mention how to summon the dragons? They could be our only hope of defeating Bloom and the Dark Angels," Saladin replied.
"Yes, it will require all of the students to combine their magic and summon the Dragon Orbs. Then you, Ms. Griffin and I will use all our power to unlock the dragons."
"Then let's get to work. We haven't a moment to lose."
At Alfea, now renamed the Dark Academy, Techna relayed the information her spy drone at Cloud Tower had discovered. She was not pleased.
"How could this have happened! Argh!" A table flew across the room and shattered against the wall. "We were nearly ready to invade Cloud Tower!"
"Bloom, why are you so worried? Anything they throw at us will be useless." A fraction of a second later Bloom had her hand around Techna's throat and lifted her off the floor.
"You read the book. The Great Dragons are more than a match for us! Their power will seal us away for all eternity!" Her eyes were blazing with dark energy and her Oricalcos mark was bright. Techna struggled in Bloom's grip.
"Bloom….There may be…..something we can….do. Please…let…me…explain," she whispered, her air almost gone. Bloom released her grip. Techna slumped to the ground, drawing in great breaths.
"I'm sorry Techna, I shouldn't have done that. I'm just so angry that all we've done, all I've done is about to crumble."
"Perhaps not Bloom. I have been looking through the book of the Oricalcos, and I have discovered that we have an army as well."
"We do? Can it defeat the three dragons?"
"Not by itself, but with the help of us and the Great Leviathan it can."
"The Great Leviathan? What is that?"
"The most powerful beast to ever walk the face of reality. It nearly defeated the Great Dragons long ago, but now it has us to empower it," Techna said. Bloom's scowl had been replaced with a dark smile.
"How can we summon them?" She asked.
"All we need do is concentrate the power of all the Dark Angels and breach the walls of their prison. It should be simple."
"Then let's get started. The sooner we have our army the sooner Cloud Tower falls."
Meanwhile at Cloud Tower, the ritual to summon the Legendary Dragons was underway. Every witch and Red Fountain boy was gathered in a massive circle. Three orbs were slowly taking form in the center.
"Keep it up. We're almost there," Faragonda encouraged. She could feel the fatigue of the students, but they had to make this work. Gradually, the orbs solidified and floated to the teachers. "Now, teachers, fallow along with me. Great Dragons of light."
""Great Dragons of light.""
"We call upon your divine might to save our world."
""We call upon your divine might to save our world.""
"Come forth!"
""Come forth!"" The orbs glowed with a blinding light and shot into the sky. When the light faded, the three dragons stood before them. Timaeus bowed to Faragonda, Harmos to Saladin and Critias to Griffin.
"Now that we have the Legendary Dragons, we should march on Alfea. Every minute we sit here gives Bloom more time to strengthen her defenses."
"I agree with Professor Griffin," Saladin said. "From what you told us from the book, Bloom will likely try to summon the army of the Oricalcos soon. When its forces are combined with her own, she will have an army second to none."
"Very well Saladin. We march on Alfea. Teachers, mount your dragons," she called while climbing onto the neck of Timaeus. The other teachers mounted their dragons, and together with the entire army of Cloud Tower and Red Fountain, they set out to retake Alfea and save Bloom and the girls from the Oricalcos.
What so you think? Will the Legendary Dragons vanquish the Oricalcos, or will Bloom and the Dark Angels prevail and cover all the realms in darkness? That I leave to you. Review and determine the fate of everything in the final chapter of Dark Winx.
P.S. Thanks Stormrose for the dragon names
