The group ran over to where Helia and Flora lay. Tecna scanned Flora. "She's gone too."
Now there was no stopping the tears. The Winx and the Specialists were all crying deeply for their two lost friends.
"They are both gone." Stella was crying into Brandon's shoulder.
"They sacrificed themselves for love. That is the greatest sacrifice of all." Nabu bowed his head in honor.
A glowing light started to come form Helia and Flora.
"What's happening?" Layla and the rest of them took a couple steps back.
The light started getting bigger, engulfing both Helia and Flora.
Once the light subsided everyone looked at the two. After a minute or two, Helia's hand wrapped around Flora's/ his chest began to raise and Flora's eyes fluttered. They started to sit up and rubbing their heads. The Winx and Specialists were so shocked they couldn't move or speak.
Helia looked over and saw that Flora was back to her normal self. "Flora!" Helia grabbed her in a hug. "I am so sorry."
Flora gladly hugged him back. "I think it is I who should be sorry."
"It doesn't matter who is sorry. I'm just happy to have you back." Helia pulled her and kissed her like never before.
Everyone cheered.
Flora pulled back and blushed. Helia just smiled. He never realized how much he missed her blushing.
Helia stood up and helped Flora stand. "I don't know about you guys but I am ready to go home."
Everyone agreed with Flora. She took the lead with Helia and headed home.
Back at Alfea…
"I am sure that I can say for everyone that we are happy to have you home safe and sound Flora." Everyone was in Ms. Faragonda's office.
Flora and Helia were sitting on the couch. He had his arm wrapped around her. He wasn't going to let her out of his sight anytime soon. "Thank you Ms. F. I'm glad to be back. But could you explain what happened?"
"I think I can do that." Saladin went to stand next to Faragonda. "You see when Helia sacrificed his life to block your attack he had showed the true ultimate power, true love. That is what broke Orion's power over you. And when you sacrificed your life to save your friends you too showed true love. It was you two's love that brought you back to life. Like I have told my nephew, true love can conquer all magic."
"But what will happen to Orion and the Oenothera power?"
"Well Flora, Orion is going to be gone for a long time. And the Oenothera power is still with you. As long as you are here so will the ultimate power. I will be putting you through some specialized training in the future so you will be able to control it."
"Yes Ms. Faragonda."
"Well I don't know about you guys but I think we need a vacation now more than ever before."
"STELLA!" Everyone yelled at the blonde.
"Actually I think Stella is right. You all should go back to your vacation and I think add another week to that. Hopefully this time there won't be any interruptions."
"Wow, thanks Ms. F" Flora smiled. What she needed was defiantly a vacation and relaxation.
Everyone left Faragonda's office and went to get ready to depart for the beach…again.
"Hey Flora, can I talk to you?"
"Of course Helia."
The two of them headed for the gardens.
"Flora I just want to tell you…"
"Helia please don't say anything. It should be me saying I am sorry. I was the one who caused all this. I should have known better. How could I be so easily tricked with a simple love potion."
"No Flora. I need to apologize. I knew what my cousin was capable and I still didn't tell you. I did not protect you." Helia bowed his head, ashamed.
Flora stopped walking and lifted his head. "Helia, actually you did protect me. There was a moment when I wanted to give up. But then I remembered how you said that you loved me and would always love me no matter what I did. That gave me the strength to stop Orion."
Helia looked around and saw that they were actually back in the very same place where he had told her that. They were in the heart of the maze near the fountain and pink roses. "You mean right here?"
Flora looked at where they were and smiled. "Yes this very place. I love you Helia. Now and forever."
"And I love you. No matter if you are pure evil or my sweet flower."
They both shared a small laugh. They shared a passionate kiss knowing that they would always have the other one in their life. No matter what.
