Hi. I'm really back this time, and in better shape than ever, till I finish the story. Excited because I am? I mean this is the first thing I came to when my finals ended. Woohoo! Enjoy this update, review, and another will come in the speed of light.

Recap:

Story characters are OOC

Valtor and Baltor used to be the same person but are now different. I suggest re-reading the story if you forgot. Valtor is a wizard. Baltor is a demon

Valtor spent 6 years in Oblivion and had changed

The Winx meeting with Faragonda has not been written

Faragonda was wrong about the demon who kidnapped Bloom in "Lynphix"

This can be read as a stand-alone

Bloom is defeated by the demon and has been sent to live in Oblivion where she met Valtor.

WARNING: Filler and lots of Bloom/Valtor. Exam breakdown product, may not be to your liking.

After what felt like seconds, but was really minutes, Valtor gave an uncomfortable laugh as he tried in vain to withdraw his hands from the redheaded leader. It was only then did Bloom realise what she was actually doing, before returning a shaky laugh as she released his hands.

He still smelled that good after all those years in Oblivion.

"Well," Bloom started, "Is living here hard?"

Valtor sighed and motioned around the isolated space of empty darkness. It had only gotten worse ever since Bloom visited it to save Sky when she was 21.

"What do you think?" the wizard asked, "Quite the place isn't it."

Hearing his words, Bloom decided to give the place a good look and realised hard was an obvious understatement. Basic needs was out of the place and many objects were floating about. She did not seem to require her winx for movement of any sort that were off grounds.

"It is quite lovely," she heard Valtor say to her surprise, "Allow me to give you a tour. Somethings I've been doing for myself, considering I'm the only one who broke free of those boxes apart from you."

He turned on his heel in the opposite direction of Bloom and started walking away, with Bloom fearlessly following him as if they didn't have any related history.

They first stopped at the toilets, something which Bloom never guessed Oblivion would consist of. She then glanced slightly at Valtor as awkward silence overtook them, only to realise he was standing at the door of the toilet proudly.

He smiled and nodded to her, assuming she would understand what he meant for her to know – which for some reason, she did. She gave him an awkward smile as she inspected the cravings that he designed on the toilet frame, something which the Winx Club leader found not half bad.

"I guess, we should move on? After all, there are many more amenities," the wizard offered as he placed his purple coat on the hook, revealing the white shirt that hugged his torso.

They walked in silence in the next few minutes, neither willing to break the silence. Valtor due to the fact he was testing the magical dimension's saviour from him. Bloom due to the fact she was still having weird flutters in her stomach as she walked next to him.

When they finally reached the next stop, which consisted of many elaborated and casual designs for both female and male. Some were on clothing stands, and some were mere drawings. The holder of the light dragon flame then decided to give the holder of the dark dragon flame a look.

"Something I do in my free time?" the coat-free wizard offered.

His answer shocked the redhead, needless to say, and he gave a long elongated sign as he felt inaccurate reasoning forming in the fairy leader's head. Ideas such as 'Oblivion might have changed him and instilled funny thoughts'.

"Look," Valtor reasoned, "The person you knew 6 years back is gone. I'm a humanized form of him with magic that still happens to be opposite from yours. The demon you're fighting, that was the person you knew 6 years back. He is not me. That me 6 years ago is gone."

There was a pause as the usually fiery fairy was silenced. Her head turned to look at the different wizard she fell in love with years back and yet was scared of. She took in his facial features and his beautiful golden eyes that shown brighter than ever.

His eyes was something she always loved, something that has gotten prettier since years ago. Next, she took in his blond highlighted hair, which she never got to know how he kept, it was shinier than ever. Lastly, she took in his cold demeanour which was, thankfully, still there. The sarcastic insults and comebacks that she fell so hard for.

"Well, the lounge. Television link to all networks, and snacks inclusion," the wizard's voice causing her to snap out of her daydream. She had not even realised they had been walking to the next stop until he spoke, and a slight blush formed on her cheeks.

"Perfect," Bloom whispered as she threw herself on the couch before grabbing a snack probably made by the wizard powered by a darker source opposite of hers. She heard a chuckle, which sounded like music to her ears, as she turned-on the television to her favourite channel.

She felt a depression in the couch and leaned her head towards the man beside her, earning her a nervous cough. It was progress though, him not pushing her away nor looking too uncomfortable as he did when she grabbed his hand before. As she took in his scent, she allowed her troubles from magic to dissolve.

Only for a day. Bloom had convinced herself but knew she would be lying to herself. She knew countless days would be spent on enjoying time with Valtor or trying to build something out of them, instead of worrying about her obligations in Magix. After all, love and infatuation, two very different and closely-related definitions, can definitely one to lose track of duties and time.

Meanwhile with the Winx

The 5 other Winx managed to break the record for fairies who managed to reach the headmistress's office at the fastest rate.

"Bloom has been defeated by the Demon," Layla managed to let out in one breath, being the most fit of all 5.

After she said the words, Ms Faragonda's face darkens as she stood up leaning towards the Winx from across the table – Something which she usually does when she panics.

"No way," she breathed out in shock as they gave a detailed explanation of the sounds they heard and what exactly happened.

They realised Ms Faragonda hanging her head afterward, possibly viewing herself as a failure to keep her students safe.

"Well, it seems that I was wrong," she finally admitted the line that every Winx Club fairy wanted to hear.

"..." she spoke about how she was wrong, words that the Winx were too anxious to absorb.

"The demon, calls himself Baltor," Ms Faragonda finally gave the essential information.

Upon hearing her words, Stella rolled her eyes at how ridiculous it sounded, as she led the Winx Club out of the principal's office. All 5 experiencing the disappointment they felt towards Faragonda.

It seems that due to unfortunate events, I would have to end it here. Do not worry though! Another update comes in tomorrow as well as my one-shot book on all the couples from Winx Club from unlikely matches to showed ones, so stay tuned!

Hoped you enjoy this and the next chapter features Bloom/Valtor (Valm?) and the 5 Winx strategizing.

That's it for now, hope you enjoyed what could possibly my longest chapter yet for IOHWY.

Please review and tell me what your thoughts are!

In the next chapter: Valtor continues with the tour around the Oblivion he re-invented as the Winx struggles to come up with a plan that will get Bloom out of Oblivion. A new transformation would be introduced to the Winx as they receive no choice but to seek help from Ms Faragonda.
