-Thank you Alex- I smiled; he nodded and kissed me
-Will we see you as a fairy? - Bloom asked
-Sure- I smiled- Cyan Bloomix! - And I was in my fairy form
-Wow, you look super cool! - Musa said- why are your colors so dark?
-You girls chose between being a fairy or a witch, white magic or dark magic, she chose both- Daphne said
-That's why I can blindfold people
-Is that possible?-Stella was surprised
-I always knew Daphne was a fairy, but, back in melody, my mom was a witch, so I didn't know and I chose both
-Bloom and I have the Dragon's Flame; Cyan has the Dark Dragon's Flame, her powers are stronger and wider than ours
-Daphne is a lot of help to me, she does all the thinking and research stuff, I just follow instructions
-You're always exploring your powers, that blindfolding thing, you discovered it- Daphne laughed- anyway, from research I understood that her side of the Dragon's Flame is cold instead of hot, but she still can use our spells
-So you and I may be able to use hers? - Bloom asked curiously
-We thought so- I replied- but old sis found that you can't because your side of it is pure and good, my side was used by evil to imitate good side's powers
-By evil? - Techna asked looking for something in her computer
-The ancestral witches- Musa said and Daphne nodded
-So, you're linked to them?
-Just as much as Bloom and I are, Stella; anyway, they were never able to control that power
-I bet Alex has been helping too- she said with a funny tone
-Yes he has- I smiled- since I talked about Daphne and what she was up for with me he started to make me overdo with and without magic, "to make me stronger"- I laughed- he's been putting me under a lot of stress with that
-You're not overdoing if you can do it, are you? - I heard him from behind me
-Why do I feel you're not good for her? - Aisha gave him a bad gaze; I felt she was going harsh on him
-He is, Aisha- Flora defended him- he wouldn't make her do something he knows she's not able to do, would you? - She turned to him
-No, I wouldn't- he smiled- girls, I love her, really- then Helia walked towards us
-Girls, training a fairy to fight without magic is not an easy job; we've seen that many times- Helia smiled- then, try to train a fairy who does not know what her powers are able to do and make her fight without those powers, she needed to have lots of control; control that Alex taught her to have
-She got it really well, if she feels in danger she fights, she doesn't transform- Riven added from the piloting area- dumb, isn't it?
-You try to transform- I teased
-Cyan- my boyfriend called to make me shut up- shall you be back to normal? - he suggested with a cold tone; I did as he said
-Well, enough of history of the Dragon's Flame, isn't it? - I finished the topic and Alex kissed me, he softly bit my lower lip and left go
-I love you babe- he kissed my cheek while hugging me
-Is your ankle better sweetie? - Stella said
-Yeah, thank you Stella
-Can you tell us how your training in Red Fountain was? I feel really curious about it- Musa asked
-And of course you can include how you two ended up together, I mean, nobody says it but we're all curious- Stella completed
-No, I'm not, I was there- Riven teased again, we ignored him and Alex started to tell the story
-Well… this breakable, tiny 19-year-old fairy came into my class… thirty minutes late- he looked at me with reproach- wanna know why?- everyone nodded- because her nail polish didn't match with the horrible battle suit and she had to redo it- everyone but Stella and I laughed
-What's wrong with it? - We said at the same time
-Since then I thought it'd be hard as hell to handle with her. We used to argue a lot but we managed to work it out- he smiled- then, the headmaster called me and told me to fully train her and explained the whole story; there was where the real torture started, didn't it?
-Yup, I had common classes, and then, five hours of training with Alex- I smiled- he had three rules: short nails, so I wouldn't cry at a broken nail; no magic, it was really hard, to fight without protecting myself from something with a spell… it took about two years to be possible for me; and be emotionally strong, because he'd push me to the limit, so when I couldn't do anything, when I already wanted to throw up, or to leave everything, he'd push me to keep on it, he never left me give up
-She fell for me when she saw me, Stella- he continued- when I fell for her… it was the first time I trained her without magic, she was so broken… the careless, stupid, stubborn, vain girl wasn't there anymore… there was the fragile girl only… I just felt I had to protect her
-He kept pushing me, anyway
-After a year we started to meet out of school, like going to the movies or for a coffee; when she finally managed not using spells I kissed her; then we started dating
-And it became harder; both of us had non-sleep-nights thinking about the relationship. We talked about it many times before actually being a couple: how it could be vs. how it should be; what may happen vs. what mustn't happen and taking up and giving up control
-Later on, I started talking to headmistress Faragonda and headmaster Saladin to get a better idea of how to start using her magic within the trainings. It was really hard for her to do it and for me watching her having that bad time
-It was hard, but you kept with it, why? - Aisha questioned
-I had to keep her doing it because she needed to do it. It turned hard at the moment I saw the girl I love having a bad time, broken, crying, dizzy, wanting to throw up, hysterical and having panic and anxiety attacks. But I wanted to think that I knew she could do it
-You wanted to think…
-Aisha, he's not the bad guy- Riven quickly cut her phrase
-It was super hard and he was super strict- I said- he was always yelling at me, but I became better and stronger, which was the point, so, no resentment at all baby
-No offense, but, you're short and thin, how could you train her to be strong? - Aisha again
-He's for abilities and agility, not for strength- Helia said- anyway he's quite strong
-Can you recall the reason you were assigned to me, Cyan? - Alex asked me smiling
-I said I didn't want to be strong because I was a fairy and I had to be tiny, thin and pretty
-However, she needed to be psychologically strong
-We're here! - Timmy yelled from the piloting seat
-Woohoo! – We all screamed
We all got off the ship and entered to somewhere called Frutti Music Bar
