Bloom slowly woke to someone shaking her shoulder, opening her eyes fully she looked up. Sklar smiled down at her, Skylar was now eighteen.
"The raiding party just got back" Skylar whispered, Bloom was awake now. She jumped out of bed and ran to her closet, Skylar watched her mother go. Bloom looked back
"is Leo's team back yet?", Skylar shook her head. Bloom nodded, she eventually got changed into her purple dress, leaving her knee length auburn hair down and left the room. Skylar followed closely, she was wearing the normal death dealer garb, her long blonde hair was pulled up into a high ponytail and armed only with a dagger. She too like her brother led raids on Baltor's army, she continued to follow her mother. The two eventually got to the armoury and practice areas, Maliks team were relieving themselves of their weapons and black trench coats.
"Report" Bloom ordered as she neared, the team bowed. Malik straightened up first
"we managed to eliminate the division that was being sent to Erakylion" he recounted
"Prince Leonardo?" Bloom asked, but just then the doors flung open. Leo entered the room followed by his own team, he headed straight to his mother and twin while his men went to Maliks men. Leo was about a couple inches taller than Skylar (that was the only thing that was noticeably different about each other), his short, blonde hair was spiked up, and just visible beneath his black coat was a crossbow.
"We got them all, they didn't even leave their camp" he said not even bothering with formalities. Queen Bloom nodded,
"I have other stuff I need to attend to" she said softly "good to see you all back safe and sound and sound" she gave her son a hug then left the room. Leo grimanced slightly as he moved his arm, Skylar caught this.
"Oh Leo what did you do" she fussed and herded him over to a chair, he sat down without a complaint he knew better than anyone to not mess with Skylar. She slipped his coat and shirt off, he gritted his teeth in pain.
"youch" she commented as she saw the deep gash on his shoulder,
"came right up behind me didn't even notice him" he explained winicing as Skylar put a wet cloth on the wound in a attempt to clean it.
"My, my Leo, losing your touch" she joked, he snorted
"haven't had much sleep lately, I'm either training or out raiding". Skylar looked wistfully at the doors her mother had just left through,
"I'm worried about her". Leo looked up at her,
"me too". True their mother hadn't been the same since Queen Selena's death and when she took the throne, she had become more distant.
"Do you think it might be something to do with our dad or her past?" Leo asked carefully looking her straight in the eye, Skylar moved uncomfortably under her twin's gaze. She moved away, then came back with needle and thread. She silently started to thread the skin back together, he didn't even flinch since he had had to have stitches many times. They knew nothing of their mother's past, she never spoke of it even when Selena was alive.
"I have no idea" she finally said as she finished stitching, Leo stood and retrieved his shirt and coat,
"come on lets get something to eat I'm starving" he said and slung his uninjured arm around her shoulders. She laughed and the two headed for the kitchens.

Princess Gwenyth woke to the sounds of banging on her door, she groaned.
"Up Gwen!" her mother's voice floated through the door,
"ok, ok im up!" she yelled back. She rolled out of bed, she made her way to her closet. Gwen slipped on a yellow spaghetti strap, floor length sun dress. She then walked to a nearby mirror, Gwen mostly took after her dad. She had waist length black hair and pale skin, but she had her mother's eyes, they were a emerald green, she was seventeen. She put her hair into two braids leaving her fringe falling into her eyes, smiling she left the room. Gwen looked around, her and her mother as well as Queen Musa, Techna, Layla and their children May, Techi and Lana had just arrived in Solaria a couple days ago. The castle was different than Erakylion's, but it was still very beautiful. She eventually made it to the dining room, everybody else was already there. She sat beside her life long friend, Prince Jaydon. He smiled at her as she sat
"mourning sleepy head", she waved him off. Since he was the son of the fairy of the sun and the moon he was up at daybreak so he was definitely a mourning person. Jaydon was atleast a head and a bit taller than her, he had brown hair which he had sitting like his dad's. And he was definitely the most handsome young man of nineteen in the magic dimension, she of course loved him but only as a brother. He laughed and continued to eat. Gwen looked at her mother sitting across from her, Queen Flora. She looked like something was bothering her, Queen Techna who sat beside Flora noticed it to
"Flora, I know you have your doubts about this but it could bring her back to us", Gwen knew that she was only getting the second half of this conversation.
"Get who back?" she asked quietly, Techna and Flora both looked at her.
"Bloom, Gwen" her mother answered, she heard Jaydon take a sharpe intake of breath. Gwen knew all about Bloom and her mysterious disappearance and that she was Jaydon's godmother, everyone at the table had grown silent.
"I have some business to attend to" King Brandon announced
"Jaydon, care to join?", Jaydon shook his head. Brandon nodded, he bent down and gave Queen Stella a kiss on the cheek then walked out. Jaydon leaned forward
"and how do expect to find her?",
"a spell" this time it was Stella who spoke.
"What spell?" Gwen asked looking at her mother, Techna passed her a small piece of paper. Gwen read it over,
"do you even know what it could do?" she said astounded.
"That's the problem, we created it so we have no idea what will happen" Queen Layla answered,
"but the amount of power.." Gwen said open mouthed.
"That's why we are all here" Queen Musa said gesturing to the winx club and the older girls including May and Lana who had their winx,
"hey!, what about me!" Sonja cried, Stella looked at her daughter
"Sonja you don't have your winx yet". Sonja pouted but remained quiet, Jaydon frowned.
"Does Uncle Sky know about this?" he whispered, Flora shook her head
"we did not tell him because we did not want to raise his hopes. Jaydon nodded,
"when will we perform this spell?" Gwen asked taking sip of her orange juice.
"Tonight" Musa said, Jaydon abruptly stood
"I'll go see what dad's up to" with that he left. Gwen shook her head and stood, she ran out of the room and down the hall. She finally caught up to him,
"I know you're sensitive about your godmother" she said softly placing a hand on his shoulder. He nodded, the two there like that for about a minute
"hey, I wasn't kidding I was going to see my dad care to join" he pointed his thumb over his shoulder.
"Sure" she laughed, the two went in search of King Brandon. They found him in the war room, the King looked troubled. Jaydon went and stood beside his father,
"what's wrong dad?". Brandon looked up
"nothing's wrong, just puzzling", he then indicated to the table in front of him. Gwen ventured forward, and looked at the table. It showed a full size map of the eight planet-realms, Brandon placed a finger on a small moon beside Solaria. Immeadiatly in zoomed in on that planet,
"now there was a camp of Baltor's men here". He again placed his finger on a part of the planet, a photo came up.
"This just came in" he explained, Gwen looked at photo wide eyed. The tents were reduced to just their frames and were still had smoke rising from them, bodies were strewn all over, the grass was even burnt and charred.
"Sources say that they are black clad warriors, with powerful abilities and senses" Brandon sounded awed
"then they just disappear into the darkness, there have been many more reports of these attacks on Baltor's men". Jaydon nodded
"you remember that attack I led on another one of these camps?" he asked still looking at the photo, Brandon nodded.
"Well we had a little help" Brandon looked at his son again a eyebrow raised
"these warriors came, one actually saved my life, a woman" Jaydon explained
"she actually looked a bit like uncle Sky". Gwen looked back and forth between the two, Brandon nodded
"well lets hope they do not turn on us". Jaydon nodded, just then Flora entered the room
"Hey Flor!" Brandon greeted. She smiled, a lot of her friends still call her by her highschool nickname.
"Hello Brandon" she then looked at Gwen
"its time". Gwen strode towards the door, Jaydon followed beside her
"I'll come just in case" he whispered into her ear. The two followed Flora out into the grounds, it was dark so since Gwen was the fairy of light she made her self glow to give them light. The Solarian Palace had acres of forest area surrounding it, behind that was a high wall. They walked across the the grounds to the edge of the forest, not far in they found the Winx club, her father, King Nabu, Techi, May and Lana. Stella stepped forward "come Flora, Gwen its time to start the spell", silently the girls transformed. Gwen's enchantix looked like what tinkerbell wore, except her wings were larger and her hair was in a messy bun. May didn't have her enchantix because she was to young, her winx was a blood red boob tube and skirt connected by a small strip down the middle of her stomach, her hair was left down and she had a small ruby tiara hidden in her magenta hair, she followed her mothers footsteps and became a fairy of music. Lana, who was also to young to have her enchantix, wore a deep purple halter top and skirt and she had small angel wings, her dark brown hair was left down, she had a topaz tiara, she was the fairy of peace. The Queens enchatix were still the same, the women/girls made a circle and held hands, then they began chanting.

Skylar ate her small dinner in silence, her brother sat beside her talking to some of his friends. She caught a few of them eyeing her but she kept her eyes on the plate in front of her, finishing she stood and left the hall. She wandered aimlessly around the castle………
111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
"ask of me to bring back thee" Stella chanted
"the one who is missing the one who was lost" Layla continued
"bring back the princess who was taken from us" Musa followed
"take it from me what ever you need" Flora also chanted
"to bring back the lost princess!" Techna finished.
A portal was opening up in the middle of their circle…
111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
Skylar froze just ahead of her a portal was opening…..
111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
They let each others hand fall and stood back, they were all smiling excitedly. Just then Gwen felt something pulling her, pulling towards the portal.
111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
Skylar stared at it, but was shocked to find herself getting closer to it. She looked down her feet were sliding along the ground as if it were ice, she franticly tried to step away but she was still sliding along. For the second time in her life she was scared, she screamed.
111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
Soon the others realized what was happening to Gwen, Jaydon ran swiftly over to her grabbing her arm. He tried to pull her back, but she was still moving towards it dragging Jaydon with her. Helia ran over to them to pulling, Nabu came over to. She was getting closer, the girls created a convergance shield in front of the portal. Unfortunately she went straight through it, the portal closed up, she was gone. Flora fell to her knees and wailed in despair.
111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
Leo heard a scream, he had only heard it once but he imeadiatly knew who it was. He smoked out of the hall, reappearing in a corridor. A portal was open and by the looks of it, Skylar was being pulled towards it.
"LEO!" she screamed, he created a force field in front of the portal (the twins had the powers as their mother but Bloom's way more powerful), she went straight through it, the portal closed up.
"No!" he roared and fell to his knees, Bloom smoked in beside him.
"What happened!" she ordered looking down at him,
"portal…..Skylar….gone.." was all he managed to say, Her eyes widened
"nononoNO!" she screamed the last word, she threw an energy ball straight through the wall beside her. Just then about a dozen Death Dealers smoked in
"your magesties" they bowed,
"the Princess has been taken!" she cried, many of the warriors gasped
"I want all available teams out there now!". They bowed once again then smoked out, Bloom was crying now. She placed a hand on her son's shoulder then smoked out, Leo just stared at the place where she had disappeared. There on the floor was her ring with the royal symbol on it, he picked it up and slipped it into his pocket then smoked out to join in the search for Princess Skylar.
