"It'll be alright, Musa. I'm sure the WInx got your voice back." Chatta said. The pixies nodded. A bright flash of light blinded Musa for a second and she got up. The Winx came out and Musa smiled. SHe rushed towards them and waited for a happy report. Instead, the Winx stared at the ground before Bloom finally spoke up. "I'm sorry, Musa. We couldn't get your voice back…"
Musa stared at the girls in shock and hugged her throat. Tears streaming down her face once more, she fled the courtyard with the pixies quickly following after her.
Aisha sighed. "We have to get her voice back."
"Riven, what are you-" Sky began to say.
"Sorry Sky, but I'm leaving the Specialists. And...Musa for good." Riven sighed.
Sky gaped at him. "Riven, you can't! Don't you remember Nabu's death? Everyone will be like that again if you leave! Musa would kill herself!"
Riven stiffened. Sky abruptly stopped, knowing he went too far. Nabu was a subject Riven didn't want to talk about, and Musa dying was completely off limits. He would kill whoever said that. Riven turned to him with anger in his violet orbs.
Before he could do anything, a loud boom resonated through the gym. Riven and Sky ran outside to Alfea's courtyard. The stage was outside and Musa and her band was on it. Cloud Tower witches cackled and flew around, with fairies firing magic at them. Riven and Sky joined the other Specialists. The winx flew to the air.
"No one let them get near Musa!" Bloom cried.
Riven growled and threw his boomerang at one of the witches. She cackled as it passed right through her. Every magical blast and weapon blast passed through them as if they were ghosts.
"They're enchanted! The Trix must have given them the power to be completely immune!" Tecna cried.
One witch turned to the others. "Charge the stage!"
They all clambered to the stage and one of them grabbed Musa with magic. Musa gasped.
"Musa!" Riven shouted.
Her arms tightening, Musa used the last of her strength to signal the band to start playing. They nodded and began to play their instruments, a lovely melody ringing through the air. The magic began dispelling the witches' magic, and they retreated.
Musa gasped as the magic holding her in the air vanished, and she screamed silently as she plummeted to the courtyard.
Riven ran to her, silently cursing himself for not watching her every second. He caught her before she reached the ground and she trembled violently.
"You okay?" Riven mumbled. Musa nodded without making eye contact, before being gently set to the ground. She took a deep breath and jumped back on stage. A huge wave of applause filled the courtyard, and Musa walked to the edge, preparing to bow.
As if having second thoughts, she smiled and turned around. She grabbed Roxy's hand and pushed her to the front of the stage and she bowed, while the rest of Alfea cheered and clapped.
The Winx smiled at Musa's victory and Bloom said,"Let's go and get Musa's voice back."
The girls nodded and flew to their dormitory room. After transforming back to their normal selves on the balcony, Flora gently turned the smooth purple knob and opened the door to their cozy home. A little saf sat near the wall and Bloom opened it, sighing in relief as she saw the legendarium key. A poof of smoke appeared and Rumpelstiltskin jumped out.
"Alright then, where is my key of some sorts?" He chanted.
Before anyone could answer, the fairy godmother suddenly appeared, her back facing the WInx.
"Girls, I must tell you something. Oh." She said.
"Um, Eldora, we're um, over here." Bloom replied, giggling at the elderly woman.
"Oh!" Eldora exclaimed, chuckling as she spun around to face them. "Ahem, girls, remember what is most important to you." She disappeared in a puff of sparkles and the winx sighed.
"Alright, here it is." Bloom said, giving the key to Rumpelstiltskin. He laughed joyfully. He grabbed the sparkling blue bottle and smashed it, a beautiful melody coming out. The Winx cheered, and Rumpelstiltskin disappeared.
Musa jumped off the stage, extremely happy at her band's hard work. It really paid off.
"Musa! That was amazing!" Riven cried, smiling like he never had. Musa blinked a few times and remembering what happened that morning, she looked down and pushed past him. Riven sighed but followed after her.
"Musa,there's something I've been meaning to get off my chest. I'm supposed to always be there for you, to protect you, as a specialist, and your boyfriend." Riven confessed.
Musa stopped and looked at him, her eyes gently urging him to go on. He sighed and continued. "Musa, I never wanted to see you hurt, I just- well… maybe need some time off."
Musa felt a wild sensation building in her throat and she murmured," Riven…"
Riven gaped at her and smiled widely. "Musa! Your voice is back!"
Musa laughed. "I-guess it is! And RIven, it's true this was clearly a sign, that we were, never meant to be. But, wherever you go, my heart will always be with you, and I'll always love you."
Riven gazed at her shimmering eyes and murmured,"I'll always love you too… Goodbye Musa…"
The Winx and Specialists ran towards them, breaking the moment.
"What'd we miss?" Brandon asked. Riven looked up. "I'm leaving."
The Specialists gasped. "For-for good?" Timmy questioned. Riven nodded. He looked at Sky and he nodded in confirmation. Taking one last look at his beloved Musa, he turned towards the gate.
"Don't worry, I'll be back. I always come back." Riven said, saluting with two fingers before taking off into the glittering sunset. Musa stared at his back, her eyes brimming with silver tears, joyful gems dripping down her cheeks.
"I'll always be with you, Riven, wherever you go…"
