Sick Bloom!

"As for watching after Ms. Bloom…I'll be happy to do it girls." The students blinked and slowly turned towards their head of Detention in shock as her words processed in their minds.
"You had this disease too Ms. Griselda?" Flora asked worriedly while Griselda nodded, her eyes never leaving Blooms peaceful sleeping face.
"Yes, it had hit me when I was a Freshman as I've already said. My two best friends at the time had gone to get the cure but they never told anyone what was guarding it or where exactly it was, just that it was on an uninhabited part of Lenphea." Griselda said before her eyes seemed to light up suddenly.
"Ms. Musa might have an idea of where it is and what's guarding it though." Griselda said suddenly causing everyone to look at her in confusion before DuFour realized what she was saying.
"That's right Musa's mother was Mirelda, one of the two that went and got the cure for you. Mirelda probably told the story of what had happened to Musa as a bedtime story when she was younger." DuFour said in realization while Musa looked shocked and looked at her teachers in confusion and disbelief.
"Yeah my mom told me a story about some kind of adventure before, a couple of dozen times actually but I haven't heard the story in a long time so I don't remember most of it. My mom was one of your friends?" Musa asked looking at the stern Head of Detention in confusion and curiosity while Faragonda and DuFour laughed.
"Friend? No she was one of Griselda's roommates and practically her sister! Your father forbid Griselda to say anything to you about it though, I believe he didn't want her to tell you some of the escapades she, your mother, and your godmother had during their school years." Faragonda said in amusement while Musa looked shocked that one of her teachers was practically her aunt.
"What do you remember of the story Musa? Anything could help." Wizgiz asked breaking up the somewhat light atmosphere while Musa thought about it for a minute.
"I remember something about a cave and the Guardian, some kind of animal, looking for a pure… heart I think? It's all a bit fuzzy." Musa said shaking her head slightly while Stella looked at Griselda and the other teachers curiously.
"If Musa's mom was one of the two that went to get the cure for Ms. G then who was the other? We might be able to use Tecna's smarts to find her and get her to lead us there!" Stella said bouncing up and down slightly in her place at the thought of getting to the cure quickly in order to help her friend, her sister.
"I am." An ethereal voice spoke as Bloom suddenly sat up with her eyes open, although they were brown instead of blue.
"Bloom?" Flora asked worriedly as every head in the room snapped towards the red head who's hair had begin to turn into a golden blond color.
"No not Bloom. It's Bloom's body but someone else is in control." Tecna said looking at the now blond haired brown eyed body of her friend, the only thing to let them know it was indeed Blooms body was the red outline in the now blond hair and the cyan blue ring around the iris of the brown eyes.
"Ms. Tecna's right. That's not Bloom. That's-"
"Daphne." Griselda cut off Wizgiz without realizing it as she breathed out the nymphs name.
"Hah! When I get back to the Soul Realm Mirelda owes me twenty bucks! I knew you'd remember me 'Sel even though right now my appearance is that of my human form not my nymph." The woman in Bloom's body, Daphne, said with a bark of laughter as she grinned at Griselda in a very Bloom like fashion.
"Daphne what are you doing here? How and why are you possessing Bloom?" DuFour asked worriedly while the brown eyes turned towards her now in amusement.
"Nice to see you two teach. I'm here for a very simple reason actually. To send you five" Here Daphne used Blooms finger to point at the five that volunteered to go save Bloom "in the right direction to heal my baby sister. I had to get the message to you all somehow and since Bloom wasn't well enough for her to tell you I got her permission to possess her body for a little while in order to give you the info…although right now my beloved little sister is gagging at my memories that I let her watch to keep her from getting bored or feeling the pain of her body moving about." Daphne said grinning wickedly while Griselda gave the possessed body a gentle hug and everyone else merely stared at Daphne in silent shock.
"Your little sister…then that means that she really is that Bloom! Oritel and Miriams youngest daughter." Faragonda said her eyes widening and causing the other teachers eyes to widen as well.
"The missing princess of Sparx." Palladium said having been there when the planet had been frozen and only getting away by the skin of his teeth, Griselda still glared at him anytime it had been brought up because he had grabbed her to teleport her away too when she had been about to go and find Daphne.
"Ding ding ding! Give the Elf a prize!" Daphne exclaimed causing Griselda to chuckle slightly while Daphne threw her borrowed arm around Griseldas shoulders.
"Anyways the little bit that Musa told you is correct. The Guardian of the cure is in a cave and has the appearance of an animal, but it doesn't search for a pure heart per say. It searches for a person with a pure emotion relating to the heart. What the animal and emotion is I'm not allowed to say, let's just say that two of you qualify for it so the two of you not only have to be the ones to grab the cure but also have to be the ones to administer it and share. What you'll have to share I'll leave that to you two to figure it out. Although if Griselda thinks about it hard enough I'm sure she can figure it out but you five need to head out quickly so she'll call you when she figures it out." Daphne said grinning widely and giving Griselda a look when the brown haired woman looked confused.
"Is that all?" Tecna asked having recorded everything the spirit woman had said to go over later when they had time.
"For you five yeah. I do have something to tell Griselda though." Daphne said removing her arm from around Griseldas shoulders and looking the brown haired woman dead in the eyes.
"Take care of my little sister Griselda, she's your sister too ya know, and don't be sad. I'm coming back soon. Me and Bloomy have been working on figuring out a way for her to construct a physical body for me to inhabit using her magic since it's her I'm chained too the most. I'll be back by your side before ya know it." Daphne said causing Griselda to look shocked before smiling widely while Daphne smirked wickedly.
"I'd reenact what we did on Sparx just before it was frozen over but my baby sister is screaming at me that if I do that she'll, in her own words 'kick my ethereal nymph ass to hell then back and then to heaven and back before she sets me on fire'." Daphne said snickering at her younger sisters mental screaming while the students and other teachers were amused at how red Griselda had blushed at what Daphne had said. Daphne laid back down and closed her eyes as the blond went back to red and the brown in her eyes must have gone back to blue.
"Stupid…nymph…sisters…" Bloom muttered now feeling the pain of how much Daphne had talked and moved around in her body.
"Who was that?" Stella asked in amazement and curiosity.
"That, girls, was Princess Daphne of Sparx, Ms. Blooms elder sister and the first born child of King Oritel and Queen Miriam of Sparx." Faragonda said grinning slightly at what Daphne had said and how red Griselda had turned because of it.
"What did she mean about Bloom being Ms. Griseldas sister then?" Tecna asked looking fascinated by what had just happened, and how red her teacher had turned. She had only seen that shade of red once before, because it matched Blooms red hair perfectly.
"Daphne is my wife which means that I am Ms. Blooms sister-in-law."
