Lynphea:
"We are here." Flora smiles as she stares at her planet, her home as the sun rose from the horizon.
"It is so beautiful." Musa and the others whisper as they walk out of the Specialists' hover carrier.
"Lynphea..." Helia smells the air as he holds onto Flora's hand.
"Let's go before the guards catch up." Bloom reminds them.
"They won't be here anytime soon." Aisha grins to her cleverness of the plan that the Winx pulled on the guards to come to Lynphea.
Few hours before:
"Are you sure this is going to work?" Stella wonders to Aisha.
"Of course it will." Aisha smiles as she continues to fill their bathroom full of water. "Now come on."
Aisha grabs Stella's arm as they run into the hallway where the guards are waiting for Flora to appear from the bathroom. Aisha looks back at Flora jumping out of the window with Bloom, Musa, and Tecna by her side. Stella waves bye to them as they slowly walk out of the door with panic in their eyes.
"Something is happening in the bathroom! Flora is in there!" Aisha and Stella scream at the guards.
They look at each other quickly before charging into the bedrooms where the bathrooms lay. They slam open the door as they run into the bathroom where Aisha starts to spit water out of all the sinks and bathtub. Aisha and Stella form a door out of the water as the guards try to search for Flora in the bathroom. Aisha flicks at the water as it comes out faster and faster.
"This isn't going to hurt them right?" Stella wonders to Aisha as they jump out the same window as the others.
"No. The water will disappear once we are out of Alfea." Aisha laughs as she jumps with Stella into the hover carrier where the others wait.
"Alright." Sky presses some buttons with Timmy.
"Hold on guys." Timmy orders them as he sends the speed to a 60 mph.
Present:
"Come on." Flora waves them towards the area that Viola told her in her dream.
They all follow Flora and Helia as they start to inform Flora what Ms. Faragonda informed them yesterday. They walked into Ms. Faragonda's without Flora because of those stupid guards, but they are able to inform her now.
"Ms. Faragonda told us that she was ordered to banish her after she was attacking the kingdom of Lynphea. The King didn't tell her anything of why she was attacking. Ms. Faragonda was following orders from the kingdom that was being destroyed." Bloom starts to tell Flora.
"Viola told me that Ms. Faragonda would lie to me as well as the King." Flora replies to her as she continues to walk across the floor with wild exotic flowers growing along the floor of the trees.
"How do we know that she isn't?" Musa questions Flora again.
"She told me, 'The next time you go to Lynphea, travel down the woods until you hit a burn down place at the bottom between two mountain. At night as the moon sets, my village glows a bright green as the people come to dance, waiting for their princess to return' so that is what I am doing." Flora answers Musa.
"You said that she is a Fairy like us. She was also a fairy from Alfea." Tecna remembers what Flora told them at their bedrooms.
"She is a fairy from Alfea like us so why would Ms. Faragonda banish her?" Musa wonders to the information.
"Yeah. She has fought many times for us." Stella reminds them of the fighting that Ms. Faragonda has done for Bloom last year.
"So why?" Brandon wonders towards the girls.
"I don't know." Flora stops him from finishing the question. "That is why we are here."
They travel across Lynphea on leaves, tree vines, and exotic flowers. Flora shows the girls and boys her home and the beauty that walks across their planet. They travel over a mountain until they see it. The spot that Viola described to Flora.
"Travel down the woods until you hit a burn down place at the bottom between two mountain. At night as the moon sets, my village glows a bright green as the people come to dance, waiting for their princess to return." Flora repeats her description of her home.
"It is going to be dark soon. We should get to the village soon." Helia places his hand on Flora's shoulder.
"There is no village. Only ash." Flora restates to Helia as she brushes his hand off her shoulder.
She jumps down the mountain side as the group follows her down the dangerous slope. Flora stops at the edge as she stares at the ash that covers the vast valley grounds. No plants or animals able to come back to the now burned in ash soil that kills everything that tries to live.
"She is telling the truth." Bloom whispers as they stare at the dark ash that has burned miles around the bottom of the mountain.
"The graves..." Tecna points out the only living things in the contaminated soil are flowers that continue to bloom only because of Princess Viola.
"She marked every one with a unique flower that represented something to her personally." Flora bends down to touch the dirt and feels the emotions in the flowers that grow with various colors.
"The sun is setting." Sky tells them.
Flora watches as the ash starts to glow a bright green. Everyone watches the color lift from the earth as people figures appear in front of them on top of the graves. They all glance over at Flora as they stare at the others around her. They wonder to them because they didn't know them at all.
"Who are you?" One man asks Flora wearing a strange outfit of leaves and plants, different from Flora.
"I am Flora and these are my friends." Flora points to the others.
"Are you hear to bring back Princess Viola?" A little girl walks up to Flora with a worried look on her face.
"Princess Viola is the one that sent me." Flora replies to the girl.
"Princess Viola!" The girl screams with happiness. "Is she okay?"
"She is fine." Bloom tells the girl.
"We have been waiting for her to come home. Where is she?" A woman asks the Winx as she wraps her arms around the little girl.
"She was banished from Lynphea." Flora tells the village.
"What!" The whole village screams in shout.
"Our Princess!" The man wonders to the group.
"Yes." Musa nods her head with the others.
"Why?" The woman asks the group.
"She attacked the Kingdom of Lynphea." Sky replies to the woman.
"Mommy..." The little girl pulls on the woman's shirt to get her attention.
"Yes, Layla." Her mother looks down at her daughter, ignoring Sky.
"Princess Viola was crying her last day."
"That is right." Her mother remembers. "She was crying."
"Why?" Flora wonders as well as the girl.
"Sweetie." The woman lowers her body to look into the eyes of her little girl. "We are no longer alive. Princess Viola watched us die."
"What!" The girl yells in panic. "But!"
"I know Layla." The woman holds onto the child in her chest.
"Viola!" Layla, the little girl shouts to the moon. "Come back!"
"What happened here?" Flora wonders to the little girl's mother.
"Your king..." The man answers Flora as he tightens his fists.
"What do you mean by that?" Aisha questions the man.
"Viola was becoming the new Queen." The woman tells the group. "She sent all of her letters out even to the royal family here in Lynphea."
"I saw that no one showed except the people in the village." Flora states to the mother.
"That is correct." The mother agrees with Flora.
"That didn't stop Viola. She just decided to hold off the ceremony so the King could see that the Fairy of Life and Death could become Queen." The mother kisses her daughter's head as she looks back at Flora. "Viola decided that she wanted to talk with the King in person."
"She was crying that night." The daughter joins in on the story. "She was sad that the King didn't come because he hated her from being the Fairy of Life and Death."
"That doesn't sound like the King." Flora states to the village.
"Viola started to walk out of town before the royal guards appeared in the entrance of the village. Viola thought that they were here to tell her why the King didn't come to the ceremony." The man continues to the story for the woman. "The guards though didn't have anything except weapons on them. Viola stared at them with a questioning look on her face but she knew the rules of fighting with the kingdoms that run your village. She tried to get answers from the officers before they started to tear apart the village."
The Past: The Village appears like it was before the Fire
"What are you doing?" Viola screams at the guards as she tries to stop the guards from destroying the village.
"We have been ordered by the King." One guard replies to her with more questions appearing in her head.
"Stop it!" Viola screams as she appears in front of the guards. "I will not allow you to destroy our village!"
"The King has declared this village a useless place to exist. We have been ordered to get rid of its existence forever." The guards growl back before slamming Viola into one of the houses roof.
"Run!" Viola orders her people for their safety.
"Viola!" The same little girl who sits there with the group runs up to Viola. "What is happening?"
"Layla!" Viola wraps her arms around the little girl with tears in her eyes as the screams of the villagers echo through their ears. "I want you to run! I want you get out of here with Nana."
"But what about you?" Layla questions Viola.
"I have to save our village." Viola answers Layla as she releases her and stands on the ground as flames erupt into the village center house. "Protect my home. My family. My village." Viola whispers as she closes her eyes and her hands cover with a spirit of green. "Power of Life! Flames vanish!"
The flames start to vanish out of sight as Viola focuses all of her magic on protecting the town, her family, her village. The guards charge towards her before slamming her into the houses side. The flames start turning everything into ash again with her lose of concentration.
"We have been ordered to kill you after this is all gone." The guards slams his grip around her neck with all of his strength.
"Release me..." Viola chokes up, trying to breath through her nose.
"Hope about we just kill you." The guards grin at her.
Viola stares at the sky before she hears a scream. She turns her head and eyes straight to Layla and Nana being dragged by the guards in front of Viola. Viola struggles in the guards hand as she tries to escape from his grip around her neck.
"Don't hurt them!" Viola cries out.
"We have been ordered to kill all and destroy all." The guards laugh at her.
"Viola..." Layla cries out to Viola.
"It will be okay Layla." Viola allows the tears to fall down her eyes towards Layla. "It will be okay. You will see Mom and Dad soon."
"Viola!" Layla screams as she watches the village erupt into flames with everyone with her. "Sister!"
"Layla!" Viola cries out as she watches her village and her people burn without her by their side.
The guards drag her out through the ash as she struggles. The guards laugh with their success before Viola's eyes turn completely midnight black. The guards start to head towards the kingdom before stopping to kill Viola like the King ordered.
"Death erupt!" Viola cries out, losing control of her emotions on the guards.
Their bodies disappear into nothing but the wind. Viola runs back to her village as she feels their pain and sorrow. She starts to plant the flowers that now show above the ground now.
Present:
"You're Viola's sister." Flora points to Layla.
"Princess Viola is my older sister that tried her hardest to protect the people that she loved from the people that killed our parents as well." Layla replies to Flora as she holds onto the woman and man.
"You are Viola's parents." Flora whispers as she stares at the man and woman.
"We don't know why Viola has targeted you, but we know that our daughter will not move on until she ends the King that killed us." The woman states to Flora.
"Please tell our daughter that we love her." The man replies to Flora. "She has been alone for so long that we want her to know that Layla is with us and we are going to wait for her."
"I will." Flora agrees to the man's request.
"Thank you." The woman courtesy to the Winx and Specialists.
"The Sun mommy." Layla points to the sun's shining colors coming above the horizon.
"It is our time to go." The woman smiles to the group as she and her husband walk back into their graves with everyone else that are waiting for their princess to come home to them.
"Good bye." Layla waves bye to Flora as she disappears with a smile on her face.
The Winx stare at the graves that wait for the sun to set again and to see if their princess has come back to them. The Winx and Specialists head back towards the hover carrier but no one dares to talk or whisper a word. They were just given a great amount of information that they now have to prove that it is correct. Flora lays her head on Helia's shoulder as she falls asleep where she sees Princess Viola waiting on the bench with the flower in front of her waiting to tell Flora another thing about her past.
Dream:
"Hello Flora." Viola doesn't smile, only sits on the bench as she saves a seat for Flora to sit and finally hear the truth behind the war that happened between the King of Lynphea and her village of Viviana. "Let's talk."
