CARYS
A long time ago, there was a planet, and it was ruled by a good and lively king and queen.
It's name was Eraklyon.
Queen Bloom and King Sky have been living here a long time ago. They had lifted up the spirits of the people who are living here. Other queens and kings, especially the royal couple's friends, even helped in upgrading the kingdom.
Everything was perfect.
But... no.
A dark entity, "The General of Darkness", General Karmegan, had suddenly attacked one of the royal planets in the Magical Dimension, and was once ruled over by the Queen Stella and King Brandon.
Solaria.
He attacked and started a war. Millions of lives have been destroyed, houses have turned into rubble, and the kingdom is slowly falling apart.
Solaria was destroyed after that.
General Karmegan succeeded in destroying it.
Stella and her husband had no choice but to leave. They left for Eraklyon, where her dear friend Bloom resides and rules. They were welcomed into the kingdom with open arms.
After Solaria's destruction, other planets followed. First it was Melody, home of Queen Musa and King Riven, then Zenith, then Lynphea, and followed many more planets destroyed by Karmegan.
Everything was in ruins...
...and Eraklyon was the only planet left.
And so, Bloom welcomed every person who had no home left for them. Her people treated them, took care of them in their homes, and made friends with them.
This, was how the Winx were reunited.
Together, the girls planned on taking down their dreaded enemy, by performing a powerful spell that would make a foe disappear forever. However, the girls have to be careful; the spell might be dangerous, and if not used correctly, not only would it remove a foe, but it would eliminate an entire planet altogether.
And so, many years of preparation was done. The Winx formed plans, trained their military, tried to see if the army of their foe was going to come any second...
But one day, Bloom discovered that she was pregnant, and was about to give birth to a child.
They never expected this. She wasn't warned about this, but now that she knows, she must leave from duty now.
A few months have passed. Bloom gave birth to a healthy little baby girl, whom she and Sky named "Carys".
The other Winx Girls followed, naming their little girls different other names.
"Aphrodite", for Stella and Brandon;
"Amanda", for Musa and Riven;
"Priya", for Flora and Helia;
"Nayely", for Tecna and Timmy;
"Kalila", for Aisha and Nabu; and
"Amorette", for Roxy and an unknown father.
And so, after the babies are born, time passed by rather quickly. The armies still kept training, the Winx are caring for their babies, and their husbands monitoring every single place in Eraklyon.
Until news broke out that General Karmegan is about to attack.
This left the whole planet in a rushed manner. The armies have already trained well and ready to fight, and the Winx decided, that for the sake of their beloved children, they would send ships to leave them off to faraway brother and sister planets, where they are much safer.
It was true; General Karmegan and his army of darkness finally arrived in Eraklyon, ready to fend off the Winx and defeat them with an iron fist.
The war raged on and on. But Eraklyon was losing; the soldiers have been severely reduced, while the army only laughed at this result and still kept on fighting.
Until the Winx had enough.
All girls are already tempted enough to use the spell against Karmegan, and so they prepared. And as they say, the spell might be dangerous, and instead of bringing down the enemy, it would destroy your own welfare instead.
When the girls launched the spell upon Karmegan, though...
...Everyone is not sure what the result is.
But, after the spell was unleashed, Eraklyon fell instead of Karmegan. The planet destroyed, the people perished. Even the mighty kings and queens, and even Queen Bloom and King Sky, have been lost in time forever.
But Karmegan might still be alive.
And he might attack us in the dark.
Giving us the same fate as to our brother and sister planets.
Carys groaned in boredom as she rested her cheek against her propped up hand, listening to that ever-so-tiring trash of a story that she had heard a thousand times already.
"Mom, seriously, this is Agnivo! It's another large universe, mom! We're not gonna suffer the same fate as Eraklyon and the rest of the planets, trust me!" The blonde-haired girl exclaimed, forcefully tugging the bed sheets and covering herself underneath those blue sheets.
"But Carys, the story is true. You are the daughter of Queen Bloom and King Sky!" Her mother, Melina, said as she put the book back upon the shelves, looking back at the 16-year old teen.
"Mom. Seriously. I only have two parents, and that's you and dad. Period. No exceptions." Carys retorted irritably, huffing under the bed sheets after hearing the sore excuse again.
Ugh, will everyone please stop telling me I'm the daughter of a Queen and King hundreds of years ago? It's creeping me out, really!
Melina sighed and sat down next to Carys, smiling softly and tapping her daughter. "You may not believe it Carys, but someday you'll discover who you really are, and who you are meant to be."
Carys huffed and stood up from her bed. "Mom, this is who I am! I'm just a simple village girl who does not deserve even the slightest bit of praise, yet everyone thinks I'm this royal princess because of the belief that I am the daughter of Queen Bloom and King Sky!" She hugged her mother tightly, pouting. "Stop telling me I'm a royal princess, mom."
Melina giggled and patted the blonde's back, smiling. "Haha. As you wish, princess." She laughed at the joke.
Carys suddenly let go of the hug with a reprimanding look on her eyes. "Oh, c'mon, Mom!"
The 34-year old woman laughed as she kissed Carys' forehead, standing up from the bed and pressing the teen against the bed. "Good night, Firefly." She cooed, kissing Carys' forehead once again.
Carys closed her eyes and hummed. "G'night, mom." She mumbled, before drifting into the dream world.
Melina giggled softly and walked to the door, taking one last look at Carys before turning the lights off. Right now, her body couldn't resist the temptation to sleep, so she walked off to retreat to her own room and get some rest.
Tomorrow's going to be a long day.
"Why, hello Princess Carys!"
"How are you doing today, princess?"
"Let me help you, Princess Carys!"
Carys' eye twitched as the swamp of praises immediately engulfed her as she walked around the market, where lots of people were greeting her with the usual, annoying "Princess" nickname. However, she did not reveal to the people that she was getting sincerely annoyed; she really loved the people around her, really.
The blonde girl sighed as a bunch of kids pointed to her, mentioning her as that sickening name 'princess' again. "Princess Carys is walking around! Let's take a bow!" A little girl shouted to her friends, with a quick bow before laughing and running off.
Carys sighed.
It's like they're just mocking me.
As soon as she arrived at the market place, she walked around, smelling the usual stench of the sold meat, fish, fruits, and vegetables that were being stocked on stalls.
Her father should be around here somewhere. She perked her head up to get a better view of the sight ahead.
And she saw him.
A grin was suddenly plastered on her face as she waved her arm, trying to get the attention of her father. "Dad!" She shouted, running off to his fruit stall.
Heinrich, her father, turned his head, then smiled once he saw his daughter. "Why, hello there, princess!" He greeted with a chuckle, as he ruffled Carys' blonde hair. "How's it going?"
Carys scoffed as she shoved her father's hand away. "First, dad, I'm not a princess." She placed the fruits she brought one by one on the front of the stall as he said that. "Second, I'm not a child anymore for you to ruffle my hair. And lastly, I'm doing great. Seeing you is an example that brought my mood up."
Heinrich laughed as he arranged the fruits and vegetables that had been messily placed by his daughter. "Ah, whatever you say, Carys." He reached for his pockets and fished around, handing Carys $60 dollars. "Here, go buy yourself whatever you like."
Carys gratefully took the money and hugged him tightly. "Thanks dad." She said, kissing him on the cheek before running off with a wave of goodbye.
Her blue eyes beamed at the money that she had right now. Carys wondered about what she was going to buy with this. Food? She rubbed at her stomach, but it wasn't growling right now. She shrugged off the idea.
Hmm... Just as she was about to think of something to buy, the smell of hotdog entered her nostrils.
Carys grinned. Mmm... I love hotdogs.
Fine. Food it is, then.
?
An old, hooded woman watched from the distance as she observed a blonde girl, running towards a hotdog stall. She hummed a song with an ancient Eraklyon hymn, her red eyes glowing.
"Girl of golden sunshine hair,
You are supposed to be Queen Bloom's heir,
The destruction of Eraklyon was anything but fake,
But your doubting mind didn't know about the planet's fate.
Doubt all you want, but you know who you are,
The daughter of a king and queen who lived long times afar.
The fate of Agnivo is all in your hands,
If you procrastinate, the General of Darkness will cover this planet's lands."
With that, she smirked underneath her hood and ran off into the wild forest. She would expect the girl hear this, even though she is far away and a few meters apart.
Carys, former princess of Eraklyon... you shall return to your home.
Where you truly belong.
Ah, hello there! Here's the latest chapter, everyone!
Whew, I had a hard time figuring out what to do with this chapter, to be honest. Especially the poem in the end! I couldn't find any rhyming words that would fit. But I think it's already good.
You'll know who that old lady is soon enough.
R&R!
