As Helia landed on the Alfea campus, he felt like his heart was going to break. Flora was now evil. She knew who he was and didn't care. She even went on to attacking all her friends.
"My god! What happened?" Faragonda watched as everyone came off limping covered in scratches and bruises.
Helia walked out helping Sky. "I can explain later. Right now these guys need to go to the health ward."
"Very well. Once everyone is better we can talk."
The Winx and Specialists were all laid out on beds through the health ward and the nurses were running around trying to help the eleven wounded teenagers.
Helia sat up in his bed, rubbing his head. He had a massive headache. He tried moving his left hand and felt a sharp pain. Then Helia realized that his left arm was in a cast.
"Your arm was pretty bad. It was broken in three places. Luckily with a little magic it should heal up quickly." A nurse said. She walked up to Helia and handed him some pain pills and a glass of water.
"Thank you very much." Helia swallowed the pills and drank all the water. He looked around the room and saw the nurses running to each bed. Riven, Brandon, Sky, and Timmy all had some broken bones. Nabu was in a meditating state because his magic had been so depleted. The girls were all still unconscious from the battle. Stella and Bloom were in the worse state. Stella's power was greatly weakened in Orion's dark realm. Bloom was in bad shape because the direct attack from Flora. Helia couldn't believe that his sweet flower had done all this. And he couldn't believe that he was unable to rescue her. He had failed Flora once again.
Orion's Castle…
Soon after the Specialists and fairies left and the battle was over, Flora and Orion went back to his castle. They were now in Orion's studies.
"Well done my rose. It seems that you got rid of them with ease." Orion was looking out his window, while Flora was sitting at the table.
"Of course I did it with ease. They are only weak fairies. They are nothing compared to me." Flora was playing around with her magic. She was growing flowers like usual. But they were not her usual bright and colorful flowers. She was growing black roses. "What is our next step my darling?"
Orion was still looking out the window; he knew that those pesky fairies and their silly boyfriends would come back soon to try again.
"Flora, what do you think of my cousin, Helia?"
"Ha! He is nothing compared to you."
A small smile came across Orion's face. The potion he had given her was still working. "Good. I am glad you think so."
"Orion, my love, when are we going to have our wedding?"
"Soon sweetie, very soon. Now I have an idea. Why don't you go talk to my tailor so he is able to design your wedding gown."
Flora squealed. "That sounds wonderful." Flora hugged Orion and ran out the door.
Orion chuckled. He may be marrying Flora for the Oenothera power but she was still very beautiful. He did not mind at all that she was going to be his queen. He went back to looking out the window. Once Flora and him were married then he would have control over the Oenothera as well. And with the ultimate power under his control there would be no way of stopping him.
Back with the Winx…
It had been a week since the battle against Orion. All the Specialists had fully healed, but the girls were still unconscious and still in bad shape. The guys have been sitting at their bedside the whole time, refusing to leave. Even though his girlfriend wasn't here, he still wanted to be support for all of his friends. Helia decided to take a break and walk the gardens. The gardens always reminded him of Flora. She practically grew everything in it. Helia took a deep breath taking in the scent of the lavender and roses. Everywhere he looked all he could think of was Flora. The past week had been absolute torture. He didn't know what to do. He spent time in the health ward, but watching the guys sitting next to their girlfriends just reminded him that his girlfriend was not with them. And to make it even worse, it was his girlfriend who did it. Helia knew that Flora did not purposely do it. The Flora he knew would never, in a million years, attack her friends. She would sacrifice her life before hurting theirs. Helia walked through the garden maze and when he came to the heart of the maze he sat down on a bench. Flora had made the maze herself for a project for one of her classes. She put great attention to the heart of the maze. It was a large circle and had a heart shape fountain in the middle. Around it she had put all roses of different colors. Helia sat next to a section of pink roses. Listening to the sound of the water, he pulled out his sketchpad and started to draw. Anything to distract him from the reality he was in.
