I'm back at it again! Yes, haha, and now with the 'horizontal line' things to make the story separating parts clearer for you!
Anyway, we have made it quite far so let us see how much we can let the pair bond in this chapter?
Warning: Detailed explanation on my version of dark magic! Essential for the story.
Note: Valtor's character may be very OOC but please do remember that he is no longer the Valtor/Baltor in Season 3, just a very faint shadow of him. On the other hand, Baltor is an amplified version of the Valtor/Baltor in Season 3.
Bloom paced anxiously around Oblivion, raking her brain for ways to get out of here. She felt so stubborn to have informed the 5 guardian fairies of her companion in Oblivion.
"Hey," she heard a voice that she knew too well speak up. It belonged to the man that was leaning coolly on the wall, and despite circumstances, she had to admit that he looked amazing there.
"Look," he said again with sharpness in his tone, "considering you hold the Dragon Flame there is a way of getting out of here!"
His words caused the Winx Club's leader's pacing to come to a halt. Sighing, he pushed himself off the wall as he felt Bloom's Dragon Flame burn in excitement. With the fiery fairy's excitement, it was definitely an annoyance for the darker flame holder to share a connection with her.
"Why have you yet though?" questioned the bright-haired fairy. Her questioned earned a sigh from him, which made worry fill her that it would not be an easy task.
"Well..." the wizard trailed off slightly as his cheeks flushed lightly in embarrassment, "I can't execute light magic very well."
Bloom stared at him, slightly confused, as she gave him a look that demanded that he explain. He sucked in a breath before nodding as he started with the long explanation.
"You see," he paused before continuing with a certain fairy's earnest ears listening word for word, "as Dragon Flame holders we can travel easily through time and dimensions. There is one condition though."
He went on to pause again, giving off the fact that he wanted to phrase his words well without stammering. It was an art of his that the only fairy, to ever escape the boxes of Oblivion on her own, admired.
"That one condition," another pause probably filled with reminiscing thoughts came before a continuation, "is that the Dragon Flame holder has to be well acquired with his or her power."
He paused again, allowing the fairy sitting opposite of him to think that he has finished.
"Both light and dark ends," he quickly added as he felt the fairy's flame burn in excitement.
At those words, he could feel Bloom slump back down, a look of disgust filling her face - the memories of her second year probably still haunted her. Valtor shook his head, sticking his hand out towards Bloom to strike her the second deal that day after the first one landed her in Oblivion.
"I could help you?" he asked. An offer which the fairy agreed and returned, and when she did, he willingly accepted before guiding her to the rooms as Oblivion fell into complete darkness.
With the Winx
The 5 of them had their mouths hanging as they looked at their principal, believing she had lost her mind. However, with no choice, they leaned forward, signalling they wanted to know more.
"There is a catch to it though," Ms Faragonda stated out, her statement not surprising the 5 Winx members.
Obviously, there was a catch to the use of dark magic. Every fairy had been taught that via their parents at a very young age. They were exposed and brainwashed to know that dark magic is closely related to evil, despite the fact that dark magic could be used for good.
"To obtain this level, you would have to absorb these winx into you," the headmistress gestured to the winx in the box before continuing, "Which could result in you losing your magic for days. The record was 48 days."
Her words struck the Winx, and worry lines appeared on their foreheads. 48 days was after all a long time after all but if it was their only hope, they were willing to give it a try. Huddling together in a circle, they spoke in soft whispers as they had a rather intense discussing. Some of them were for it, others weren't.
"Okay," Stella finally answered as the 5 member's representative.
At her words, the headmistress released the dark coloured winx from the box and wished them good luck. Closing their eyes, the 5 fairies felt a chilly sensation run through their arteries, the dark magic burning strongly in their blood. A cold shiver ran down each member's spine.
It simply felt horrible, yet the mild excitement of seeing Bloom again lifted their moods.
Geez, this is probably my worst chapter yet! 721 words is okay for my standards but I have a feeling that I would really need to work on the description for this chapter to improve on it.
Again, I feel that I have to apologise that this chapter was not well written and boring. Guess, I would just post the next chapter tomorrow and see what comes out of it!
Question: Do you think any of the Winx would take longer than 48 days to acquire dark fairy magic?
In the next chapter: Bloom and Valtor bond over teaching each other the opposite forces of their magic, with one of them failing terribly to get the hang of it. On the other hand, with the Winx, training to get acquainted with dark fairy magic had been a struggle for both Griffin (yes, help) and Faragonda to teach. It seems a new help may come along as well, since Domino's Crowned Princess is able to leave her 6 month old child in her husband's good hands.
Please review:) It'll definitely be appreciated!
