Chapter 6 : Binding spell
by waterbendergirl
Batlor busted in, holding a paper in his left hand and with a huge smile on his face. He stopped in his tracks and watched the sleeping beauty lying peacefully before him. After hours of search he finally had located the pyramid of the pharaoh, but know that he had found it , he hesitated. Even if his brain didn't want to admit it, his heart knew the truth, he had fallen in love with the red-haired fury.
Bloom, know aware of Baltor's gaze turned around and was startled to see Baltor was standing over her, almost like he was checking every inch of her body. Bloom flinched and grabbed the covers to cover up each patch of skin that was visibly.
Baltor smiled, a little amused by her reaction and chuckled "I didn't know I was this scary."
Bloom cheeks flushed red, she was ashamed at her reaction. She mumbled a quick sorry and jumped out of bed, heading straight for the bathroom to take a nice long bath. Baltor, clearly not knowing what she was going to do, followed her and unfolded the patch of paper he was still holding firmly in his hand.
"I've found something" he decided to say, when no one said a single word.
"Mmm" Bloom nodded, not showing any attention at the important thing he just said ; instead she was trying so hard to not think about the passionate moment they had shared yesterday evening.
"Bloom, did you realize , what I've just said? I may have found a solution to get them back and send Ra away, maybe for good this time."
Bloom, finally realizing the content of his words looked at him with a questioning look.
"What have you found out then?"
"I've found the exact location of the pyramid , Ra was locked up for centuries. There is only one problem."
"And that is?"
"The gate is guarded by a binding spell."
Bloom searched her mind, remembering bored lessons of Faragonda, trying to find the explanation of her words, but nothing popped up.
When Baltor noticed Bloom wasn't aware of the meaning of a binding spell, he enlightened. "Bloom, a binding spell is very serious. It basically means that you get stripped of your powers. The owner of the binding spell will get the magic stripped from you. You can only get it back when the owner dies. So if we go to the pyramid … I have to give up my powers…"
"You're joking right?" Bloom asked nervously. "You know what happens with magical creatures who get stripped of their winx. They can't survive, even if they can stand through the transformation , you still have to live on without , well magic. You can't get used to that, some people go insane."
"Bloom…"
Her name made her shiver, how he could pronounce it so beautiful made her heart flutter. That made it only worse; why had she fallen in love with him? Why couldn't she look at him like the beast she once saw him for. But as she gazed in to his golden eyes she could only see the beautiful man, who cared for her and who had saved her life and helped her. How selfish it did sound, she wouldn't let him do this, she wouldn't lose him like she had lost Sky."
"No, you are not going through with this, we'll find another way to get into his hiding place, giving in to a binding spell is not the answer.
"It's the only way, besides you wouldn't care if I was to be alive or death, as long if you got your prince Sky back , you would be alright."He spat out the name of the prince.
"How can you say that?" tears began to roll over Blooms eyes.
Baltor could feel his heart sink to his shoes, but he had to make a stone of his heart. He had it broken once , but not again. Not this time. If you don't fall in love, you won't get disappointed. "We're going and that's final."
Bloom couldn't stop crying, the words hit her heart like daggers. She ran to his chest and stomped him as hard as she could. "You stupid stupid stupid man, can't you see what you're doing to me, I've fallen in love with you" she screamed. "I can't lose you like it lost Sky, I just can't let it happen."
Baltor wrapped his arms around her and her sobs became less, Baltor stroke her back , while his other arm was still fiercely placed around her shoulders. When Bloom her eyes had dried out, he placed his hands on each side of her upper arms and pushed her back a little so he could look into her tear filled eyes." You know it's the only way, we both know." He said as he hugged her against him.
"This is it" Baltor said while facing the enormous pyramid just a few feet away. Baltor had pulled down the protection shield and used a portal that he made in the library, Cloud tower had a lot of these portals to odder realms, even to Egypt. He convinced Bloom this was the only way, and was now struggling with his own feelings. How would it feel like, having no magic, would the process be painful , would he survive the transformation, he could only hope so. Bloom squeezed his hand, this simple gesture made him feel like he could do anything.
"Come, we have to be directly under the gate, that as it says, a light while appear, seeking the source of magic."
"And how while it know who do chose, I mean after all, I'm still a magical creature to."
"Don't worry, it seeks the creature with the most magic , so seeing that we both posses the dragon fire the magic is equal. But I have more experience, so it will take me."
Baltor stepped closer to the gate until he was standing right under it. Baltor closed his eyes, expecting the sharp pain that would reach him, but he never felt it. Baltor opened his eyes, only to see the light passing right through him, searching for the thing that was behind him. Baltor looked around, only to see the light am at Bloom's chest. The light forced her to transform her into her enchantix outfit. Her heart shaped necklace appeared and the fairy dust inside it was slowly absorbed by the light. The binding spell had begun.
"Bloom, are you alright"
Bloom forced herself to look at him and put on a fake smile "sure, it isn't as hard as it seems, just go in and find anything that could give us a clue to the destruction of Ra." It felt like a hundred daggers were piercing her body over and over again. "Go, I'll be fine." Tears were threatening to fall down, if Baltor wouldn't leave soon he would notice what pain she was in.
Baltor tried to search for their connection, but the spell was blocking her aura. "Okay than, I'll be back soon, I promise." Baltor could feel his heart break as he stepped inside, leaving Bloom behind.
He had only put on foot in as he felt the floor disappear beneath his feet. He held his arms before his eyes, trying not to let the dust blinding his sight. When he had reached the bottom it felt like his body was being pulled against it. He felt like 100 tons when he stood on his feet.
Bloom pulled herself into a huge, as I that could make the sharp pain disappear, Baltor had left an hour ago and he still wasn't back, her bottle was disappearing quick, only half of the fairy dust was still in it. What if she couldn't stay awake long enough , the gate would close and Baltor would be imprisoned there forever. She couldn't give up. A warm liquid was slowly dropping on her dress, and as she reached up she felt blood coming out of her nose.
"Baltor" were the words she managed to whisper out as she fell into the sand.
"So this is the Pharaohs tomb, its resting place for al those time. If the books are correct, the spell to place him back here , must be, at the feet end." Baltor encircled the tomb, letting his gloved fingers slide across the surface, trying to find something that could be engraved in the material, seeing that there was no spell visibly appearing on the tomb.
"Maybe I have to us a little of my magic." Baltor said, as little sparks of lightning shot from the tips of his fingers. A righting became visibly, Baltor laid his hands on the engraftments, remembering the spell. He looked up trying to find a way out, he needed to go find Bloom.
Bloom was desperately trying to stand up, to not let the pain consume her, but she couldn't handle it anymore, it had taken control over her. With her last strength she looked up, to see Baltor appear at the entrance, then everything became a blur.
Baltor rushed at her side and grasped her body from the sand as he saw the last bit of fairy dust leave the bottle. Her enchantix outfit wore of, as her normal clothes reappeared. He buried his face in her chest, holding her body close to his.
"Bloom, don't leave me, common stay strong." He let his fingers slide through his hair, but a questioning look appeared in on his face, as he saw the red liquid coming out of her nose and ears. He picked her up bridal style as she started to shiver, he knew the process had begun, and he had to get her into a secluded place soon.
He immediately laid her on the bed, when reappearing in cloud tower. She had started shivering and struggling, her body couldn't stand the low amount of magic, she wouldn't hold on for long.
He run into the bathroom gathering some wet clothes and wiped away the blood and dried tears on her face. The struggling became more heavier by the minute. He had to put some magic into her body and it had to be soon or she wouldn't survive the night. Baltor pinned her with his arms to the bed and focused on his inner dragon. He placed his lips over hers and let some of his dragon fire, transfer to her. The shivering stopped immediately as she laid still on the bed.
