Chapter One: Of Pixies and Phoenixes
Erasiel wandered thru the Gloomy Wood, though the name was a misnomer at least as long as you weren't a Beastman, the forest was inhabited by creatures of life and good: Ents, Huorns, Dryads, Wood Elves, Halflings, Leprechauns, Centaurs, Sprites, Maenads, Nymphs of many kinds, Fauns, Satyrs, Unicorns both White and Black, Pegasai, Wood Trolls, and of course the Pixies. It was the Pixies of Pixieville he was going to visit, more specifically his wife Queen Ninfea though most pixies were his spouses. Erasiel had a duty from Sylvanna to protect the Tree of Life, it was one of the most important things in the Magic Dimension, were it to fall all creatures not Phoenixes or Dragons would die. To prevent that effect Sylvanna had created the races that dwelled in this forest and who had since expanded to many worlds of the Magic Dimension. The Pixies and Wood Trolls were the sworn defenders of the Tree of Life, the Pixies were mighty magic users and fierce warriors though small in stature they could use their magic to enlarge themselves to human size if need be and were deceptively strong, the Wood Trolls were mighty bemouths though their numbers were not as great as they were before the war of the Gloomy Wood. The War of the Gloomy Wood was between traitorous Wood Trolls and the Pixies and loyal Wood Trolls, the traitors desired full control of the Gloomy wood and the Tree of Life, because of their natural regeneration which was beyond that of normal Trolls, they were not able to die save by fire and that was something neither side dared use for risk of destroying the forest, in the end the traitors were defeated and for their crimes they were sealed far underground.
Despite the presence of many woodland creatures the Gloomy Wood still had paved roads and bridges due to the Elves and Halflings as well as the Satyrs and Fauns, these paths allowed those who would not do harm to the forest to pass thru, though along these paths Ents stood vigil looking like normal trees at first but revealing their presence to question travelers. Erasiel continued down the path to Pixieville and began to sing "The road goes ever on and on, down from the door where it began, now far ahead that road has gone and must follow if I can, pursuing it with eager feet until it joins some larger way, where many paths and errands meet and wither then I cannot say." Erasiel was clad in robes, they were blue and red with imagery of Phoenixes as well as stars and moons, he wore no hat, but on his shoulders were Kerborg and Gripmaw in bat form, both sang along with him as he used his staff as a walking stick as he normally did. The wood was full of life, as Erasiel sang the birds sang the rhythm of the song, as along the way he heard the singing of Elves and laughter of Nymphs. "I'm surprised it took me six months to go to this option to locate the Trix, using the Tree of Life to find them should have been the first thing I thought of" Erasiel thought to himself, he had finished singing the Road goes Ever on and on, and now sung the Melody of Minala and Kala; the two Phoenix sisters who were renowned as adventurers among his people, also they were his Broodmates; the song was of his sister Irietta's writing and went as follows. "The Fair twins who wander far from the star to star and nation to nation, journey along the winding paths and along their way they laugh their merry laughs away. Thru patient moor and silver lore, they journey far across the stars, they laugh their merry laughs away. With Relix spear and silver plate, they join across lands of late, through battles great and journeys plain they laugh their merry laughs away. They warm the bed of a mighty wanderer who aids the heroes and the lovely maids, their fairest skin their lovely hair proves they are maidens fair, with Relix blades they guard their maids and laugh their merry laughs away. Bearing stars, they wander far, they love to journey along the way, their lovely laughs are heard so loud and clear, they laugh their merry laughs away" Erasiel sung though in his own tongue, in his mind he thought of them, their flowing hair Minala's dark green hair in two pigtails that were the same as Musa's hair style and Kala's orange red hair in a long ponytail not to different from Icy's, their silver eyes, their green wings, their silver Relix plate their ample but perky breasts, their graceful hands and long green tails, their graceful legs, their spears of Relix, their twin Relix sabers worn on either hip, their large shields, their helms, and of course their merry laughs.
"Lord Erasiel do you miss them" Kerborg asked.
"Honestly I haven't seen them in a while, I did have them search for the Trix; so far no leads from them, not they aren't trying their best" Erasiel responded.
"Well I wish they were with us, I like it when those two talk about their adventures that they have when you aren't with them" Gripmaw stated.
"Indeed Gripmaw, on could write many ballads about their adventures and many have, but none rival the song I just sang, mainly because it was composed by Irietta and my sister is unrivaled in her compositions by anyone; I think I should pay her visit though she does a good job tending Scalespire in my absence" Erasiel replied, Scalespire was Erasiel's home, well his home among his own people and the greatest home he owned. "Irietta sweet Irietta, when this is over I'm heading back to Scalespire and we are going to do what we do best, show our love for each other" Erasiel added, he loved Irietta dearly, more than anyone else even Asha.
After about a half hour of walking during which more discussions were had Erasiel arrived at Pixieville, which was a step up from a Miniature city but was still well small relatively, each house was about the size of a dog house, larger buildings about the size of couches, and the tallest building in the city was about the size of a grandfather clock. Pixies themselves usual averaged about the size of your average teddy bear in their small form, in their large form they were the size of humans, though they didn't usually assume this form unless they were threatened or Erasiel needed to interact with them and he couldn't bother to make himself Pixie sized. Towering above all this was the Tree of life, it was a mix of branches that were blooming with flowers and leaves to some that had none, but one thing that was constant was a number of pops hanging on the tree about the size of a Tootsie Pop, these were part of Pixie evolution, whenever a pixie awakened their true talent they gained a their Pixie pop and became a Pop Pixie, these were far more powerful than a normal pixie and put them on par with powerful magical casters; there was also another trait Pixies had and that was that they were capable of bonding with other magic users to amplify their magical ability and multiple pixies could bound to a single person, this amplified the powers of both bonding partners but it had the side effect that both could feel whatever pain the other was on the receiving end of, but that was a minor drawback as the benefits more than outweighed the risks.
Speaking of Pixies, Pixieville was shockingly silent and empty as well, no sign or Pixies or Pixie pets, it was much like a ghost town. "Interesting very interesting" Erasiel stated to himself.
"I was about to say the same thing" a voice stated, female voice at that, Erasiel turned to see the origin of the voice, she was dark-skinned young woman with a medium brown complexion and long, curly mahogany brown hair and cerulean eyes. Her outfit comprised of a soft pink, sleeveless hoodie with denim capris that have a khaki cuff on the front and soft pink, hiking boots, she also wore a dark blue riding cloak. Her long brown hair was down, with pink clips at the end of her bangs and a long strand at the back from her bangs.
"Who are you and what are you doing here" Erasiel asked calmly.
"I was about to ask you the same question" the girl responded.
"My apologies then; I suppose I'll introduce myself, my name is Lord Erasiel Nathan Darkar, son of Lord Argulus Darkar and Lady Avarra 'Brightstone' Darkar, brother to Zephyr Darkar, Irietta Darkar, Eris Darkar and Arantir Darkar, also I am a Phoenix though you could probably tell by my feathery tail and your name is" Erasiel replied with a curt bow.
"My name is Ayesha, Princess of Andros, and Fairy, what are you doing here, I came here to visit my friends the Pixies" Ayesha stated.
"The same thing actually, I am their chief protector, but my duties are rather fluid to say the least, but my purpose here is well I need their help finding someone or rather multiple people that have gone missing and have been for six months and they have been rather difficult to find where they are, but now I have an entirely new set of disappearances on hand" Erasiel explained. "I find it disturbing usually the Pixies don't tend to go into hiding and they rarely need to, the other guardians of the forest keep them generally safe and they are capable enough fighters, more importantly there isn't much to go on" Erasiel commented.
"How do I know you aren't responsible for this" Ayesha stated.
"By the fact that I only just arrived and also by the fact that I am their King by marriage" Erasiel replied. "Anyway, you said you were Princess of Andros, that is interesting; the King of Andros is an old friend of mine though we haven't been in touch for years, but this is beside the point let's look for anything suspicious" Erasiel remarked. They then began to comb the general vicinity of Pixieville for anything out of place, notably the city itself had been relatively unscathed and the barrier was still in place, also there were no signs of a large fight so anyone responsible must have caught them completely by surprise.
After a couple minutes of searching they found a trail of footprints each slime covered. "This isn't normal" Ayesha stated.
"No, it isn't let me see" Erasiel stated, then he knelt down, Kerborg and Gripmaw were surveying the general area so he didn't have to worry about either of them on his shoulders. Erasiel put his fingers into the tracks and brought up some of the slime to him then sniffed it. "Tar, and not normal tar its grey rather than black and it's got magic in it; by the looks of things these are the tracks of a Tar monster, how something of that sort got this far into the woods let alone undetected is beyond me" Erasiel commented, then Gripmaw flew frantically to him. "What is it Gripmaw" Erasiel stated.
"Erasiel, I saw something you aren't going to believe it's in the sky and its moving fast and its way out of place and you aren't going to believe where it came from" Gripmaw explained, Erasiel then looked up and saw what Gripmaw had seen, it was a flying fortress, the literal kind as in a flying castle that was flying thru the clouds; his eyes were farsighted, beyond that of the human that his current form besides the tail, anyway, he could see clearly the fortress but far more importantly the banners on it they were the banners of House Darkar.
"What is it" Ayesha asked noting Erasiel looking out into the sky.
"Stolen property by the looks of things, specifically property stolen from my family" Erasiel stated, as he received more details from Kerborg who had rerouted his search on Gripmaw's say so and was now spying on the fortress and noted the guards they weren't wearing Darkar colors and most of them were not Phoenixes or Faceless either, most of them were tar monsters as well as towering constructs of Obsidian and steel; more importantly those that were Phoenixes were wearing the coat of arms of an unknown minor house, an interesting symbol as it was of crimson Phoenix nesting above a thicket of red thorns on a black background.
"How do you know that?" Ayesha asked.
"By the fact that my eyes don't deceive me and the fact they aren't flying Darkar colors; and more importantly by the fact that we are both going after it" Erasiel remarked, Ayesha shouted, "Ayesha Fairy of Waves: Charmix!" and assumed her Charmix form. Ayesha's Charmix outfit was a sparkly green one-shoulder top with sparkly green mini skirt atop green mini shorts and green calf-high boots. There was a green sash connecting her top and skirt, and several silver rings around her outfit and on her arms. Her wings were sky blue with mauve tips and were triangular in shape.
Meanwhile at Alfea…. A new School year had come, and only one more day until classes officially started, Bloom was setting up her things in her shared room with Flora, she wore a new outfit it consisted of a white and blue midriff with yellow hearts, a ruffled denim skirt, blue and white knee socks, blue wedges, a yellow arm band and a blue headband with a yellow heart. Flora stood over the window seal putting pots with her plants next to it so that they could get sunlight. "Hey Bloom" Diaspro greeted, she had finished setting up her room and she wore an outfit similar to Bloom's only it was orange and white striped with regard to the shirt and she wore a silken orange skirt with orange stockings, Bloom could also see a garter belt hanging out of her skirt, she wore her hair in the same style as she usually did and wore her usual silver headband tiara and wore a garnet broach in her hair. "Great to see you, I just finished setting up my half of Stella's and my shared dorm room, love the new outfit good to see friends think alike" Diaspro stated.
"Thanks, Diaspro, hey you might want to pull up your skirt a bit more, your garter belt is showing" Bloom commented, and Diaspro adjusted her skirt frantically.
"Thanks for that save Bloom; wouldn't want Griselda to see that and chew me out for it" Diaspro remarked. Suddenly there was a knock on the main dorm door. Bloom opened the door to see a girl she didn't recognize. The girl was beautiful, she had a light complexion, brown hair in a pixie haircut, and amber eyes. She wears a khaki coat with a purple collar and a blue buckle hanging where it would be clipped with a blue and light blue striped scarf and orange pants. Her shoes are purple ankle boots.
"Hey Bloom, sorry I'm Francis, I we had Professor Palladium's class last year and I've been assigned to your dorm" the girl identified as Francis explained.
"I'm sorry if I don't remember you Francis, it was hard to focus in Professor Palladium's class last year" Bloom stated.
"Don't worry about it, it was a madhouse, but that's beside the point I asked to be reassigned to your dorm" Francis explained.
"Why is that?" Stella asked coming out of her dorm, she was in a new outfit; Stella's Back-to-school outfit was a light purple, halter neck style, top with a crisscross on the front. She wore matching mid-length purple trousers and orange and yellow wedges. For her accessories, she had a red beaded bracelet, earrings, and a belt along with her purple headband.
"Oh of course, sorry the other girls in my dorm were captured by the Lighthaveners last year, and while it was nice having the whole dorm to myself I missed having people with me; so, I asked to be assigned to your dorm, you have an extra room that nobody is using so Headmistress Faragonda said I could use that" Francis explained.
"Well then welcome to the Winx Dorm" Bloom stated. "Also welcome to the Winx Club Bloom added, which caused both Diaspro and Stella to stare at her.
"What? She's going to live the same dorm with us might as well let her join the club while we're at it, it's not like we established rules on who could and can't join" Bloom stated.
"Well that said I trust your judgement Bloom" Diaspro stated, her surprise turning to a smile.
"Well what the heck, I don't have to worry, but first things first we must see to making sure you are ready for the induction" Stella stated to Francis.
"We don't have an induction ceremony Stella" Bloom responded.
"Well we really should, that a team outfit; I really should think about that" Stella commented.
"Ignore her, bring up fashion and she'll be thinking on the subject for hours" Bloom commented, she then proceeded to lead Francis to the empty dorm room which had been that way since last year; Francis had with her two suitcases which she then put on one of the two beds.
"I wonder why there was an opening here in the first place" Francis wondered.
"I don't have any idea" Bloom stated.
Meanwhile…. Erasiel and Ayesha had caught up to the fortress and approached from the underside. "Here, take my hand, there are secret portal room that only Darkars know about, if we teleport inside we can work our way in without being detected" Erasiel stated, "Before you ask if I had anything to do with this whole thing I would have already killed you or taken you captive, I've done no such thing so trust me on this" Erasiel commented.
"Alright but if you try anything I'll pour molten Morphix plasma in your eyes" Ayesha commented, Erasiel took her hand and as promised he teleported inside, Kerborg and Gripmaw stood vigil outside.
"Now we are in, here stay quiet" Erasiel stated, Ayesha stayed silent Erasiel then listened at the walls, to anyone outside the portal room the room would appear as a normal wall; Erasiel knew full well about these rooms, his father had them put in during the Phoenix Wars as the means to deal with hijackers, construction of these rooms was done by him and his silent workers, these faceless were architects who didn't talk as they communicated solely telepathically; no one on the ship knew about these rooms nor did they know they were here.
"Good, we are clear, no one is nearby, now for phase one of our plan, first things first we move quietly, stealth is our only defense for the moment if we lose it we will be overwhelmed, secondly we have to find the Pixies and I have a means to do that, third we free the Pixies and get out of here ASAP, any questions" Erasiel explained.
"Yes, for starters how do we move about without being seen?" Ayesha asked. To this Erasiel dug into one of the bags at his side and pulled out a long piece of fabric which was actually a cloak, and then pulled out another cloak.
"Here wear this, it is an invisibility cloak, bar bumping into anything we won't be seen, as to how we are going to move about without giving off noise, there are side passages only accessible from this room, they lead to hallways that usually end off, our enemies may be numerous but I doubt they have covered all the passageways, plus I have another ace to make sure we do watch" Erasiel said, the Faceless rose to attention and assumed his true form, Erasiel then went to one of the walls, it opened to reveal a room with computer consoles as well as screens for viewing the entire fortress.
Erasiel then stepped up to the chair and entered a password into the computer, the screens lit up showing several corridors near the portal, some were patrolled but most weren't. "Now here is where the fun part begins" Erasiel stated then tapped the computer and the wall of that room opened up to reveal a smaller portal. "This gate opens a one-way portal to whichever corridor we want" Erasiel explained. Then he spent a few minutes checking cameras till he found the room of interest, the camera showed a specialized room in which several Pixies were being held in. "And now we know where they are we need to go to the corridor closest to them that is unguarded" Erasiel explained then implemented the coordinates.
"So that's it, all it took was some use of a computer to find them" Ayesha asked.
"Yep! Now it's up to us to free them; cloaks on and let's move" Erasiel stated.
"But what about the guards?" Ayesha asked.
"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it; hopefully our pixienappers aren't the sharpest tools in the bag otherwise well; we rush them and pray" Erasiel responded.
Erasiel deactivated everything bar the portal which he had set, the entered the portal and exited it in a hallway, the halls were decorated with fine rugs and with tapestries and banners of House Darkar; in addition, armor suits adorned the halls, as well as paintings of notable Darkars and their accomplishments. The wandered down this halls, sometimes stopping to avoid the guards, these consisted of Tar Monsters which couldn't smell them, constructs that couldn't see them, as well as Faceless that couldn't see them, and Phoenixes that were unaware of them. They continued thru these paths till they came to a door, this was guarded by two towering armored golems which stood tall in dark crimson and purple armor and stood vigil, their heads were those of masked men and they clutched a halberd in one hand and a shield in another. For this situation Erasiel had a solution to deal with them: Erasiel pulled out his dagger, then told it mentally exactly where to strike, and threw it, the blade spun and beheaded both guards with the precision of an executioner's axe and then came back to him; Erasiel then took the key off of one of the guards and unlocked and opened the door.
Erasiel and Ayesha ducked inside and shut the door quietly behind them, then then opened the door to the antechamber where the Pixies were being held prisoner in a specialized cell. There were 12 in total. The First Pixie had pink hair resembling Tecna's with even cut-straight bangs and teal-green flower hair pins. Her skin appeared to be fair in color while her eyes are green with purple eyelashes. Her lips are pinkish in tone. She wore a pink laced dress with a blue keyhole shaped tie and green-blue lace up boots. Her wings were light blue and swirl/curl inward on the ends. The Second Pixie had tanned-brown skin, wore a light pink puffy-sleeved dress and green headband with roses attached. Her wings were also green and they slightly resembled Stella's. Her hair is a dark magenta color, which is long and always worn down. Her eyes are dark blue, her lips appear to be a dark maroon color. The third Pixie had long, curly bronze-gold pigtails, bangs, and slightly tanned skin with big amber eyes. She wore a lighter green version of Ayesha's fairy outfit without the sash and a shirt like Icy's signature shirt. Overall, she resembled Stella in appearance and in mannerisms. Her wings are blue color. She also wore panties under her skirt which have the same color as her outfit. She had green boots on her feet and appeared to be the tallest of the pixies bar one the forth pixie. The Forth Pixie wore a cream fluffy scarf around her neck. She wears a bee like coat with cream fluff on the end of the sleeves, yellow shorts and black boots. She wears a pair of yellow goggles with a pair of antennas connected to it. She has light salmon skin, short bob haircut, purple hair and bright purple wings. She was the tallest of the pixies. The Fifth Pixie had pale purple hair styled in curls and a Victorian-style outfit in purple, white, and blue with a blue bow in her hair. She wore pink make-up that makes sharp points above her eyes, a fair skin tone (recalling the Victorian fashion popular among aristocrats of applying powder to their faces to whiten it), and violet eyes. Her wings were purple with a purple glow. The Sixth Pixie was very futuristic looking, wearing a light blue/dark blue quasi jumpsuit with a skirt that left her navel bare and blue mullet styled hair with a light blue streak down the middle she wore a golden headset in her hair reminiscent of headphones, but this was like a crown it was made of gold and studded with pink gems. Her wings were blue with a yellow outline. Erasiel immediately recognized the seventh Pixie as he knew her dearly, because she was his daughter Piff the Pixie of Sweet Sleep and one of his twins with Ninfea: Piff, like Aisha, is dark-skinned, with soft light green eyes. She is dressed in a pair of cream-colored striped pajama pants with red piping. Her little tank top is rose pink with cream spots. On her head she wears a darker rose-pink puffy nightcap with dark cream spots, a light cream headband and trimming, and a dark maroon ribbon tying it down in addition to a small tiara denoting her royal position; Her little wings were bright pink, and she had no lower wings as she hadn't finished growing yet. The Eighth Pixie was a slightly tanned-skinned Pixie with bright sea blue eyes and dark blue eyelashes. Above her right eye is a sky-blue mark; while on her left is a darker blue mark. Her hair is sandy blonde with a curly flip, reaching her neck while her bangs are very short and pulled back. She wears a magenta teardrop shaped hair clip. she wore a blue and light green colored shirt, resembling an envelope, blue shorts with a single dark blue line going down the side, matching her shirt; along with sky blue wristbands and angel wing anklets. Her wings were blue and sparkly, resembling insect wings. The Ninth Pixie was an infant and had light skin, wore a dark orange hat with two light orange puffs with a string on the end. She wore a puffy yellow striped orange jumpsuit. She has orange eyes and orange lashes and had wings that look like orange fan-like bugs. The Tenth Pixie had light skin, long pink hair, and brown eyes. She wore a blue dress with green striping on the waist and knees, she also wore pink pants with white spots and had white triangular wings. The Eleventh Pixie had purple eyes. She also had red hair, which was braided and tied with an orange ribbon. Some of her sideburns are curled. She wore an orange sleeveless jumpsuit. Its pockets have an even darker orange tone. The outline of the shorts is teal. She had a flashlight on her head that was tied with a yellow ribbon. She had teal sleeves that partially covered her arms. She wore teal high socks, which is mostly covered by her brown boots. Her wings were orange and were gem like in appearance and were dragonfly style. The Last Pixie had fair skin and wore a yellow tank top with light blue frills on the straps of her top, along with a matching yellow skirt and a big teal blue bow at her chest. She wore lilac-pink boots and yellow flowers in her hair which was in pigtails, her wings were yellow and like those of a moth.
"Now to the matter of setting you Pixies free" Erasiel stated.
"How do you plan to do that" Ayesha asked, Erasiel didn't responded, he simply took his staff, pressed a button on the center and extended it into a glaive, he then struck the base of the cell disabling the field.
"We're free!" the Pixies shouted.
"Now we have to get out of here" Ayesha commented, they left the room but the door they intended to leave by was locked tight, also they heard the sound of clapping, and certain phoenix with crimson armor and blood-red hair got up from a chair in the adjacent room, said room had a large pit in the center.
"Well done, well done indeed, but you see I have plans for those Pixies and they don't include you escaping with them" Abolithon stated.
"No way, Abolithon? How did you escape for Vortas, more importantly how the hell did you manage capture this fortress?" Erasiel asked flabbergasted by the appearance of this old foe of his, well old would be pushing it as far as age Abolithon was about 2,000 years old which for a Phoenix was young compared to Erasiel certainly, but Abolithon was still a formidable enemy.
"Indeed Erasiel, well for starters your home of Shadowhaunt has fallen, your father Argulus is imprisoned in his own dungeon along with most of his warriors those that aren't are far from being able to take it" Abolithon explained.
"You're bluffing, there's no way you managed to beat my father one on one, much less defeat my son Shaaradan and the entire Eternal guard" Erasiel retorted.
"Your son was not at Shadowhaunt when we attacked neither were his warriors, secondly my powers have far more then grown since we last met, I'm more powerful now then any Phoenix of house Darkar even you" Abolithon stated.
"Twice the pride double the fall Abolithon" Erasiel retorted then readied his magic.
"You don't stand a chance" Ayesha stated.
"Like father like son" Abolithon stated then sent out a surge of energy which Erasiel countered barely, then Abolithon sent out another blast of Blood magic and his knocked Erasiel against a wall.
"You'll pay for that!" Ayesha roared then readied to attack. "Morphix blast!" Ayesha casted, sending a blast of Morphix plasma at Abolithon who easily blocked it.
"How amusing, you will pay for challenging me: Asrak Metreon Razdeath!" Abolithon responded, suddenly Ayesha felt her limbs go limp and she turned back into her civilian form she wasn't in control of her movements, though she managed to put up a Morphix shield which Abolithon broke with his talon-like hands. "I don't suffer challengers more importantly one so weak; you have elected the way of pain!" Abolithon shouted, then he flung her against a wall and Erasiel who was in the way, knocking Erasiel of his feet as he had just recovered, then flung her into another wall, Ayesha was blooded by these strikes, which was followed up by more as Abolithon inflicted pain on her as he moved her like she was a ragdoll, Ayesha screamed; Abolithon then flung Ayesha up to the ceiling hurting her badly. "You've amused me, now I'm going to make you fly, out the door" Abolithon yelled, then dropped Ayesha down the pit in the center of the room as she screamed.
"NO AYESHA!" Erasiel yelled, he charged forward whacking Abolithon with his staff, then jumped out the hole followed by the Pixies, Abolithon sent out a magical net which trapped all but two of the Pixies who quickly followed Erasiel.
Erasiel dived grabbing Ayesha with his hands, dropping his staff which Kerborg grabbed as he and Gripmaw joined him: Erasiel had however reached a speed in which he was rapidly descending to the ground. "Oh crap" Erasiel said has made impact, which was followed up by him shouted ouch multiple times as bounced across a hill and landed in thorn bush and was soon stuck by thistles.
"YEOWOUCH!" Erasiel yelled, Kerborg and Gripmaw dawned their true forms and pulled him out.
"Are you alright my lord?" Kerborg asked.
"Just flesh wounds, nothing that I can't clear off easily, its Ayesha who's hurt badly; she was brave to take on Abolithon, but she was far out of her league, in fact I was nearly out of my league with my use of power there, I can't believe how powerful he's gotten, there is no way; he must have an artifact of some kind, now where are the pixies" Erasiel stated.
"We are here" one of the two pixies, the fourth Pixie, who was with the eighth pixie.
"You two only, well I guess our mission wasn't a complete failure; what are your names?" Erasiel replied using a spell to clean off the thistles and thorns.
"I'm Zing, Pixie of Insects" the purple haired pixie stated.
"And I'm Livy, Pixie of Speed" the Blonde-haired pixie stated.
"Well glad to meet you" Erasiel stated, as he shook their hands they all felt a surge of power run thru them. "No way" Erasiel stated shocked.
"We just bonded" Zing stated.
"Yeah me too" Livy added.
"I've knew Pixies could bound with magic users, but this is the first time this has happened to me and I've been around Pixies for Millennia, I'm the chief protector of the Pixies as well as the person who breeds with them, well not counting those who come from the Tree of Life itself" Erasiel stated.
"Well maybe you hadn't met the right Pixie" Livy commented.
"You're right, the pixie in question has to be compatible with the person they bound with otherwise they won't form a bond" Erasiel stated. "But I can't discuss this right now Ayesha; she's hurt badly; she'll need medical attention" Erasiel stated, then he noticed he was overlooking Alfea College. "There, come on we have to get there to Alfea!" Erasiel explained then grabbed Ayesha and took off at a run, followed by Zing, Livy, Kerborg and Gripmaw at the same speed, Erasiel then jumped off the cliff then ran off unscathed and ran thru the main gate, into the Winx.
"Nathan!?" Bloom exclaimed.
"Hi Bloom, no time to explain have to get Ayesha here to the nurse fast!" Erasiel stated running past Bloom and the other Winx who immediately ran after him, Erasiel dashed thru the halls past an irate Griselda who shouted at him for running.
"No time, Emergency! One more word and you're grounded Griselda!" Erasiel yelled at her, then dodged her, he was followed by the Winx, the Pixies and the Faceless, who sent Griselda's skirt and tail flying upward. Erasiel dashed into the nurse's office and placed Ayesha on a bed, her clothes were torn up and she was gashed with some bloody wounds, Nurse Ofelia who had seen Erasiel run in came up to Erasiel.
"Erasiel what happened here, also you're hurt" Nurse Ofelia stated.
"I'm fine, just flesh wounds, I'll regen them quickly, Ayesha's the one who needs medical attention, she was just thrown around like a ragdoll by Phoenix named Abolithon using blood magic!" Erasiel stated.
"Well I'll see to her immediately, I'm a doctor however not a miracle worker so it will take me a bit" Ofelia explained.
"Good call me when she's better, wait Kerborg! Gripmaw!" Erasiel stated and the two Faceless who had arrived with the Winx and Erasiel's bounded Pixies stood at attention. "Stay with Ayesha till she recovers, let me know when she has, I'm heading back to Pixieville, obviously Abolithon hadn't captured all the Pixies" Erasiel stated.
"Yes, he hasn't, when we were attacked Queen Ninfea gave orders to hide in the Tree of Life and wait for our warriors to return with the Wood Trolls and the Centaurs" Livy explained.
"Thanks for the info Livy, now the three of us better get going fast, in fact that means I can find the Trix" Erasiel commented.
"Can we come with you?" Bloom asked.
"No, I need you to keep an eye on Ayesha, see that she gets the help she needs also tell Faragonda about this" Erasiel responded, then bolted along with Zing and Livy, they dashed out of the Nurse office and into the Courtyard and took off. "Hey Livy, you're the pixie of speed can you do anything to help us move faster" Erasiel asked.
"Yes, I can: Gale-speed!" Livy casted, accelerated the three of them to 20 knots, they flew over the woods, then the Black Mud Swamp, then Magix City and arrived in the Gloomy Wood at the Tree of Life.
Erasiel took a look around, Pixieville had become lively again, Pixie warrior stood at attention as he arrived, they were clad in Relix armor and wielded spears, glaives, axes, swords and shields made from that same material, some Pixies, smiths specifically had the ability to draw raw Relix out of the Relix Dimension and then forge it into powerful magical equipment, with the pixies were Wood Trolls clad in Relix plate and carrying two-handed Relix maces, and Centaurs with their bows and swords. "King Darkar it is good to see you!" One of the Pixies greeted "And you've returned with Zing and Livy, Queen Ninfea told us you two had been captured" another stated.
"No time for talk, I need to speak with Ninfea, also maximum alert, Piff was taken prisoner along with a number of others and they are still being held captive, Abolithon recaptured them when we made our escape, but I want everyone on alert, Abolithon's warriors could return at any time" Erasiel stated.
"Yes, your majesty!" the Pixies shouted out, Erasiel then shrunk to Pixie size and into pixie form and moved about Pixieville until he arrived at Ninfea's castle.
Queen Ninfea rushed out to greet him. "Erasiel, thank goodness, I've been trying to contact you, I spoke with a Faceless and sent him to find you, however I have terrible news" Ninfea stated out of breath.
"No need I know quite well just made a rescue attempt, Abolithon's back, I'm going to mount a rescue, but I need help more importantly I need to rescue some people, I don't know where they are, I need you to use the Tree of Life to find them" Erasiel replied.
"I see well I can help with that" Ninfea replied, Ninfea had light salmon skin, lilac eyes with a more pinkish lilac eyeshadows and salmon lips. Her hair resembles a flower bulb, is green, short and hold by her golden crown with a lilac oval gem on its center and with white details at the sides. Her wings are pointy, lime green at the borders and the inside light yellow and she holds with her left hand a gold scepter with a round lilac gem at the top. With green gloves, a lilac oval gem at her chest and a light-yellow crest at the front, her clothe varies from: a gold gale dress accompanied by a gold cape with the inside lilac/gold, or a lilac gale dress with short gold sleeves and a gold tunic.
Erasiel and Ninfea flew up to the Tree of Life followed by Zing and Livy. "I'm glad to see you managed to rescue some of those pixies; Zing Livy, I am so glad to see you two are alright" Ninfea stated.
"More than alright your majesty, we've bounded" Zing explained to Ninfea's surprise.
"With Erasiel?" Ninfea asked.
"Yep!" Livy stated as they arrived at the Tree.
"Now I need you to find three people, specifically the Trix sisters, Icy Stormy and Darcy, and the exact location of Lightrock Monastery" Erasiel explained.
"I can do that; Tree of Life, mother to our race, show us the place of Lightrock Monastery and where the Trix are hidden" Ninfea stated, muttering the spell, the tree projected an image of the Trix in captivity, they were clad in the same outfit: they each wore a white robe with several blue buttons and a navy-blue belt around her waist. She also wore sandals and a glowing lime green headband which Erasiel recognized as magic suppresser, on top of that they were in their civilian form as Erasiel could tell by Darcy's glasses which she didn't wear in their civilian form, they all seemed completely bored. The image then zoomed out to show the Monastery proper and that it was on hill overlooking Lake Roccaluchee.
"In plain sight, why am I not surprised" Erasiel stated. "Now I'll have to organize a rescue, Ninfea keep an eye out and see what you can find out in my absence, also full alert, no one is enter near Pixieville unless you know them, and then they must be cleared" Erasiel ordered.
"Yes, my dear; also, be careful and bring our daughter back" Ninfea stated.
"Is Piffy ok" Erasiel asked referring to Piff twin sister.
"Yes, she is alright" Ninfea stated.
"Good now I must be off" Erasiel stated, then opened a portal to Ygg-Chall.
