~Last Time~
The girls spent the day with the guys in Magix City. It was there that they met a new guy by the name of Zane. Catarina and Rosella suspect that Zane is up to no good. Without any problems, Rave has managed to infiltrate Red Fountain as Zane. Meanwhile, the real Zane is locked away in Splendora's tower.
The witch, Echo, made her way into the depths of Splendora's dark tower. Far beneath the ground was the many cells of the dungeon. Torches, were the only light source in this area and things got darker with each step. Each cell contained a different creature, of which Splendora used in her attacks. Upon reaching the reaching the bottom of the endless stairs, Echo stopped at a door and carefully unlocked it. After entering the dimly lit room, she silently closed the door behind her and walked up to the floating figure. This particular cell held the specialist, Zane, prisoner while Rave infiltrated Red Fountain. Lifting up his chin, she smirked and rubbed the side of his face.
"Rave is blending in nicely. By the time those fools realize the truth, it will be too late. Not even an aura fairy can see through his lies."
Zane could only glare at Echo before smirking himself. "Do you truly believe that your little illusion will fool the great minds in those schools? What will you do when they find out what's really going on?"
Echo growled a little and back-slapped Zane across the face. "Do not underestimate my abilities boy. No one will stop the plans of my mistress. Not even the Company of Light can stop her."
Zane winced in pain a little and continued to glare at Echo, "You're wrong witch. Splendora will be stopped."
With a slight chuckle, Echo left the cell and made her way back up to Splendora's chamber. As she walked in, she could see her mistress sitting upon her throne. "Mistress. I have completed my task as you commanded."
Splendora looked up at Echo and smiled, "Good work Echo. Now, those fools won't suspect a thing. Soon, I will have everything I ever wanted."
"If I may my mistress, what is that you are trying to achieve? Why go through so much trouble for this one girl?"
"You want to know exactly what intentions are behind my actions." Splendora said smirking. "Fine, I will tell you. That girl has a power beyond your comprehension. Within that horn is a power that could rival the dragonflame, but only if it is combined with the others. However, even with all that power, it still wouldn't match the dragon's power but it will come close to it."
"I didn't think that there was any power that could even come close to the magic of the dragonflame." Echo said. 'Could that unicorn horn really be that powerful?'
"There are many great powers within the magic dimension. The dragonflame is no longer needed to protect it. The time of the Winx is over and it will take a even greater power to defeat me. If that girl understood the full potential of that horn, she would easily defeat me. I have to take it from her before she unlocks it's true power."
Echo stood a little dumb-founded. Just what sort of power was within that horn. "Her true power mistress."
"If those fairies were to gain the power of Scoutix, my plans will be ruined. Many have tried to take over the magic dimension, but those meddling Winx made sure that didn't happen. Those fairies defeated everyone that threatened their worlds. If I can capture Rosella, I can lock her away and no one will be able to get to her. We must find a way to get her alone."
Echo smirked and focused her gaze even more on her mistress. "Leave that to me mistress."
With that, Echo left Splendora's chambers and walked down a flight a stairs. At the bottom of the stairs was a dark purple door with a crimson center. She then opened the door and walked in the dimly lit room. The room itself was made up of dark stone walls and floors. Towards the back of the room was a small window that overlooked the rugged terrain below the tower. On the far left was a crimson canopy bed with a dark purple bedspread. Beside the bed stood a small mahogany dresser and vanity. To the right of the room, were shelves filled with many different vials of strange liquid and ingredients.
'Splendora has already collected enough unicorn horns to get the power she desires. And yet she still seeks to go after Rosella. There must be a deeper meaning as to why she's targeting this one girl. The combined power of all the horns collected so far should be more than enough. I need to know more about the history of those two.'
Alfea
After classes were finished for the day, Rosella made her way to the quad and leaned up against one of the walls. Three weeks had gone by since she had last ran into Splendora, which made her worry. What exactly was the witch planning and why hadn't she attacked lately? Sighing, Rosella made her way to the bus stop and stared out the window during the trip into Magix. This was the first time, since arriving at Alfea, that she had gone off on her own. Things were still a little frightening to her, but not as much as usual. With the help of her new friends, she has gained a new confidence and hopes to become braver.
During the past few weeks, Rosella had made three new friends and even met a few nice guys. She could remember Gale mentioning a friend that he thought she should meet. So far, she has yet to meet to this friend and wonders if he even exists. Why hadn't this guy been introduced to her? Could it be that they have all been too busy for socialization? And what about the new guy, Zane? The guy was very mysterious and Rosella had a problem with it. The others girls seemed to like Zane, but she could tell that Catarina sensed something off as well.
Magix
Deep within a secluded area of the park, a young man was lying in the grass asleep. The boy had light blue hair that was little longer than his shoulder blades and golden eyes. He was wearing a blue camo t-shirt, black jeans, and dark blue boots. Anyone that took notice to the boy, just went about their daily business. No one knew who the boy was and figured that he wanted to be alone.
Rosella had gotten off the bus and made her way into the park. The weather was perfect for a walk and she was going to take the time to do so. Being in the park reminded her a lot of home and all the great memories she had. Without paying much attention, she found herself tripping over something or someone. Within seconds, the boy stood up and helped her back on her feet.
"I'm terribly sorry. I didn't see you there." Rosella said.
The boy looked at her and smiled, "It's alright. Perhaps taking a nap in the middle of the park was not the best idea."
Rosella smiled and looked up at the boy, feeling a little mesmerized by his appearance. "It's a nice day. Too nice to be spending time inside. My name's Rosella by the way." 'Oh my. I can barely look at this guy. Something about him just makes me so comfortable.'
"It's nice to meet you Rosella." The boy said. "My name is Alexander, but you can call me Alex. Yeah, it truly is a nice day. I really needed a break from classes."
"You go to Red Fountain."
Alex chuckled and stretched out, "That's right. My friend, Gale, said that I should come here."
Rosella blinked a few times and started to wonder if Alex was the friend Gale was talking about. "I'm sorry. It's just that I'm a little shy around people. So, you know Gale?"
"Gale is my best friend. Actually, he was the first friend that I made when I started at Red Fountain."
"He seems like a really nice guy." Rosella said smiling. "He actually told me that he had a friend that I should meet. I'm starting to think that he meant you."
Alex wasn't too sure what to say at that point. "What makes you say that Rosella?"
"It's just a feeling I got when I first saw you."
After a few hours of talking, Alex walked Rosella back to the bus stop. Even though she was with Alex, Rosella still felt unsafe. Why hadn't Splendora attacked? What exactly was she planning? And why did Zane seem suspicious? Once she got back to Alfea, she would ask Catarina about it. For the moment, Rosella was happy that she was able to meet Alex.
"Is something on your mind Rosella?" Alex asked.
Rosella smiled and shook her head, "It's nothing Alex. I don't want you to have to worry about it."
"Alright then. If you don't want to talk, you don't have to."
"Thanks for talking to me Alex." Rosella said smiling. "Let's make sure to see each other again sometime."
Alex nodded and watched as Rosella rode off on the bus. 'Yea, I'm definitely going to meet her again. I don't know why, but there's something different about her.'
What connection does Splendora have with Rosella? Will anyone come to save Zane from his imprisonment? Will someone figure Rave out before it's too late? Find out next time in the next epiode of Scoutix Club.
