Azura flies quietly out of Elina's room who is fast asleep and shuts the door quietly behind her. Azura smiles as she exits the Crystal Palace and makes her way to Topaz's room. She knocks on Topaz's door and waits for Topaz to answer. Topaz opens the door and laughs as she sees her friend at the door with a childish grin on her face.
`I take it you did what you said you were going to do!' Topaz laughs.
`Yeah and now I need to set things straight with you.'
Topaz welcomes Azura in and sits with her on her bed.
`So, what was it that you had to do?'
`I had to talk to Elina.'
Azura sees her friends hurt face when she says this.
`Don't worry Topaz, you are the first person I will ever to about anything, once I explain what was bothering me you will understand.'
Topaz, who still looked hurt agreed and sat to listen whilst Azura told Topaz everything that she told Elina.
15 minutes later…
Topaz looked at Azura wide eyed as she finished up telling Topaz everything.
`So that is why you had to talk to Elina first! I am so sorry Azura!' Topaz hugged her friend as Azura laughs.
`So the baby, Elina, that you gave me 16 years ago to take care of, was yours? And you had to send her to the Magic Meadows, so she would be away from you so that the curse wouldn't become stronger?'
`Yes,' Azura laughs at her friend's confusion.
`So who is Elina's father?'
The question made Azura uncomfortable, she had managed to not get asked the question by Elina, but she should have known that Topaz would want to know.
`I don't exactly know.' Azura replies.
`Wait WHAT! How can you not know?'
`I-I just never found out, I guess.'
`Well, we will just have to find out together.'
`Thank you Topaz.'
`Who are the father options?'
Azura considered the question for a bit before answering.
`Ruby or… Something else.'
As Azura says this Topaz looks at Azura wide eyed.
`RUBY? WHAT? WHEN?'
`Just after we graduated as apprentices Ruby came to Fairy town to visit me and it kind of just happened.'
`So it is Ruby!'
`It could be.'
`What do you mean by it could be Ruby?' Topaz says exasperated.
`Well a couple of weeks after Ruby had been I heard a voice, it kind of sounded like you and well it talked to me…' Azura took a shaky breath and continued before Topaz could talk more but took too long.
`What did the voice of me say?' Topaz askes questioningly.
`It said that I was to be blessed with a child who was to perform great acts of courage, kindness and make peace in all of Fairytopia.'
`Well, that sounds like our Elina alright,' laughs Topaz
`I, well I may, kind of want it to be Ruby,' Azura adds quietly.
`Ooh, and why might that be?' Topaz smirks smugly.
`Well if it was him than, well he might want to go out, considering that he has a daughter and I am her mother… Maybe.' Azura sighs and shakes her head. `No it won't happen, he probably doesn't even share the same feelings I have for him to me.'
Topaz looks to her friend and forms an idea to see if Ruby had feelings for Azura too. First thing's first, Topaz had to do a D.N.A test of Elina.
Topaz flies with Azura back to Azura's room and thanks her for telling her about Elina. (The baby Topaz had taken care of for 4 years until Elina was able to care for herself.)
Topaz's Point of View…
Topaz flew to the Crystal Palace, pushed open the entrance doors and walked inside.
`Linia!' Topaz called to The Enchantress, `I have something to ask you!'
The Enchantress flies down the flight of stairs with a smile on her face and comes up to Topaz.
`Does this have anything to do with Azura?' The Enchantress laughs
`You know me too well Linia. Yes I was hoping we might be able to have tea and I could talk to you about something Azura brought to my attention.'
`Of course Topaz, come with me.'
Topaz follows The Enchantress to the dining room who pours them some tea. Topaz thinks quickly if this is the right thing to do, if it works, she knows that Azura will be happy, but if this doesn't turn out and makes things worse between Elina, Ruby and Azura than she would never forgive herself and she didn't think Azura would forgive her either.
`Topaz? Are you ok?' The Enchantress looks at her worriedly
`Um, yeah I think so.'
`All of the colour just drained from your face and it looked like you were going to pass out.'
`Sorry I was just thinking about what would happen if what I am about to ask you went wrong.'
`Um, ok, Topaz what is it that you wanted to ask me?'
`Is your magic powerful enough to do a D.N.A test on someone to find out their biological parents without a blood test or anything?'
`Well, yes, it is but why would you need me to do that, Azura knows that Elina is her daughter, for goodness sakes, she gave birth to her.'
`I know, but… Ok here goes, so Azura has a possibility of two people/things for how she was pregnant with Elina. One is Ruby and the other is a voice that to her sounded like me that told her she was to be blessed with a child who was to perform great acts of courage, kindness and make peace in all of Fairytopia. Azura just isn't sure if the voice was talking about the fact that Ruby had blessed her with the child or not. There is only one or two more factors to this which complicates things a lot and which is why I am here, Azura still likes Ruby and wants to be with him but doesn't have the courage to ask him if he has the same feeling still for her. This is why if Ruby really is the dad I could tell Azura and ask Ruby if he could meet Azura and they may get together.'
`You really care for Azura.'
`Azura is my best friend, even more than that she is family to me, I love her and will do anything for her. Please do this for me Linia!'
`Of course I will Topaz, we can do it now, I think Elina is asleep and we can work things out from there according to the results ok?'
`Lets' do it.'
Topaz and Linia go downstairs and quietly knock on Elina's door, they get no answer, so they go in and Linia, as fast as possible takes the D.N.A test.
The Enchantress is in the middle of the D.N.A test when she gasps.
`Lets' go, I have all the information I need.' Linia finishes the test and walks out of the room with Topaz who shuts the door behind them.
`So? Who is Elina's father?'
Just when Linia is about to tell Topaz the results Azura walks in.
End of Topaz's View…
`Hey Topaz, Linia, what are you guys doing?'
This is it, Azura was either going to be really upset with her or happy.
`We, um, after hearing what you told me earlier I wanted to find out who Elina's father was and so I asked Linia to help me do it without taking a blood test or anything, so we just came out of Elina's room from doing the test with the answers.'
Azura gasps but then a big grin spreads across her face. She runs up to Topaz and Linia and gives them a big hug.
`Thank you guys, now I will truly know who it is! So… Who is it?'
`Linia?' Topaz questioned
`Well,' Linia started, `The father of Elina is…'
