Hello, people. Sorry I'm a bit late, but here is chapter 11. This is a pretty cool one and we have a few surprises for you.
First, let's have a recap on the most important gods that appeared in the last 3 chapters. I hope everyone was able to check out the picture on tumblr.
Gaia: supreme goddess of life, creator of everything. Currently immobilized and trapped inside the Tree of Life.
Zeus: OLDEST BROTHER ,god of the sky, ruler of the Golden Kingdom. Father of Athena, Apollo, Artemis and Ares.
Hades: YOUNGEST BROTHER, god of death and ruler of the Underworld. Chosen by the darkness to be its host. Currently trapped in the Underworld.
Poseidon: MIDDLE BROTHER, god of the seas, not too important to the story. Good friends with his older brother, Zeus.
Leto: Zeus' ex-wife and mother of Artemis and Apollo, two very important characters.
Artemis: goddess of hunt and the forest, daughter of Zeus and Leto. Also Gaia's most trusted advisor, for reasons you'll find out in later chapters.
Apollo: god of the light, son of Zeus and Leto.
Hera: Zeus' wife and mother of soon to be born Ares.
Now a few reminders important things that appeared in the first few chapters:
1-"If you don't believe me, see for yourself. She has the mark and I could feel her power today. She's the one." Astrid talking about Flora and the mark of Gaia. (Ch 1)
2-"So you're telling me that you have found the chosen one?" Zeus mentioning the fact that Flora's the chosen one (Bloom is too, but since Flora was chosen by Gaia herself, the gods find her more important) (Ch 1)
3-"Extraordinary. What about the mark? Does she have it?"
"No, she doesn't." Mitzi and Hades talking about Zeus' mark and the fact that Bloom doesn't have it, letting them know that she's not under his protection. You'll see more of Mitzi's backstory later.(Ch 4)
4-The necklace: another way Zeus found to protect the fairies from Hades. More effective than using his mark, since it could even make Flora immune to death.
Now, for the shoutouts:
knight7572: The prophecy is that Bloom and Flora could either save the Magic Dimension by freeing Gaia or destroy it by freeing Hades. The dragon fire will be unstable at first cause Bloom doesn't know she has magic and it has already awoken in chapter 4. You're on the right track there with the greek god of fire, that's a story I'll be exploring later. The dragon fire is sort of her source of life and I plan on taking this more seriously on the show, like when the Trix steal it at the end of S1.
Flora: That was my original idea, but I thought the story would make more sense if they were meant to be allies. But you'll see that, in some ways, Flora will be the one who could destroy Bloom in the end. You'll see next chapter the working for evil part.
winxkate: I don't know why, but I always have a soft spot for villains, so I wanted to try to redeem him. He'll still be the main villain in this story, though. He wants Flora because she and Bloom are prophesied to be the ones who could free him from the Underworld. I already explained the necklace. Mitzi is working for Hades and next chapter you'll see someone who's working for Zeus and Apollo. You'll find out about Helia in this chapter. I'm afraid it ain't good news.
Guest: Don't worry, we're back to the main story now and in about 3 chapters we'll get to S1Ep1. This part turned out to be longer than I planned because I decided to include Brella, Bloom and Aisha.
Windrea: I agree that he's an idiot, but he has his reasons to be like this. He's like the overjealous older brother because mommy payed more attention to Hades than him. I thought it would make sense, since she is Gaia's chosen.
Happy reading everyone!
With Flora...
"Hades? Flora asked Andromeda and she didn't miss the way the older woman shivered just from saying it.
"Yes. He is..." Flora didn't let her finish for understanding came to her.
"The god of death. I remember reading about him in my the book about the ancient Magic Dimension that Astrid gave me." The nature fairy remarked and Andromeda was surprised that she knew about the ancient world.
"That's correct. He is indeed the lord of death and the ruler of this place. I didn't know that you knew about the gods.." Flora shrugged her shoulders.
"My parents aren't exactly believers in gods, but Astrid has always tried to teach me about them for some reason. She gave me many books, so I have some knowledge about them. I know that there are three ancient gods: Poseidon, Zeus and Hades. And I couldn't possibly forget about Gaia. She is the most powerful one, the goddess of life." Once again, Helia's grandmother found herself amazed and impressed.
"I didn't know about Gaia, she was never mentioned in the books I read."She told the younger girl, who smiled, proud of herself.
"I don't know why, she was pretty important. Astrid told me that this birthmark I have in my shoulders is actually her mark. She didn't tell me what that means, though." Flora then showed her the red rose that was marked upon her skin and Andromeda's eyes widened as she realized what it truly meant.
"Incredible. You're truly something else, no wonder Helia fell in love with you."The nature fairy blushed after this comment.
"I don't know, we just work so well together. It feels like we were meant to be." Andromeda smiled upon seeing Flora's happiness while thinking of her grandson.
"I recall Lily telling me many times how well you two fit. You know, she and your mother were also sure that you two were meant to fall in love someday." The reminder of her mother made Flora's smile fall.
"Of course she did. She always told me stories of how she and father fell in love and how someday it would happen to me. I never missed the hint behind her words, I knew that she thought Helia would be the one to steal my heart. And she was right." A pause was needed for tears threatened to fall."But now everything's fallen apart. I'm dead and Helia's missing. There's no way we'll be able to get together."
"I know, sweetheart. It's unfair and heartbreaking, but there's nothing that we can do as long as you're trapped here."Andromeda said and Flora sighed before she sat down on a bench near the mirrors.
"Then I must get out of here."She determinately said and Andromeda was shocked. "I know Helia better than anyone, if someone can find him before it's too late, that will be me. So, tell me more about Hades. How exactly could he help me?" Helia's grandmother smiled upon seeing the determination in her eyes, something she had always seen in Alyssa. For the next few hours, she told Flora many stories about the Underworld and the two years she had been in it.
Later that night...
"I still don't understand why we have to go." Aisha complained to her mother as the two of them were getting ready to leave Andros. It had been almost 24 hours since the attack was sent towards Limphea's palace and over 18 hours since guards had been sent on the look for Helia, who was still missing.
"I know you wish to stay here with Miele, dear, but I'm afraid that we can't just not go to this party." Niobe gently answered as she brushed the princess's hair. Aisha was currently dressed in a beautiful golden gown, having finally been convinced to change clothes an hour before.
Ever since she had returned from her trip to Limphea with Helia, she had refused to do anything. She hadn't eaten and she hadn't talked much, as if she wasn't even there. Her parents plus Lily and James understood perfectly that she was traumatized from the events of the night before, so they let her be. However, with the reminder of their plans for that night, the king and queen of Andros had convinced Aisha to take a shower and change clothes.
"I know, but it's not as if anyone's going to miss me." Aisha tried to argue and Niobe smiled sadly.
"I would miss you, and so would your father. Besides, this might be a chance for you to make new friends, I heard princess Stella will be going along with prince Sky." The queen's words had the opposed desired effect and Aisha only got angrier and sadder.
"I like the friends I have now very much, there's no need to make new ones." Niobe sighed. She should have known that suggesting that Aisha try to make new friendships only a few hours after Flora's death was a terrible idea. But still, she wanted her daughter to be happy and she assumed that taking her mind off these issues would make Aisha feel better.
"I didn't mean it like that, you know." Aisha looked back at her mother with the same sad smile.
"I know, mom. You and dad just want me to be happy, I understand. All I'm saying is that I need more time. My best friend died just yesterday." Fresh tears threatened to fall at the reminder and Niobe sighed deeply before she hugged her daughter gently. The Andros princess closed her eyes and attempted to let herself enjoy the peaceful embrace.
"Are you ladies ready?" The sound of Teredor's voice broke them apart and both looked at the newly arrived king. He had spent the rest of the afternoon in the archery, with the commander of the mission to find Helia.
"Have there been any news, daddy?"Aisha asked him with hope shining in her eyes.
"I'm afraid not, dear Aisha. They still haven't been able to locate him." He told her sadly and Aisha's face fell.
"Oh, Helia. What have you gotten yourself into?" Aisha muttered as she turned away from her parents, not wanting them to see her cry for her lost friend. Teredor and Niobe shared worried looks.
"What about princess Miele? Do you have any news about her?" The king of Andros sighed.
"She remains the same, I'm afraid. But the doctors still fear that she might not make it."He answered somberly and Aisha couldn't hold it any longer. She broke down in tears, falling to her knees in deep sadness.
Her parents were quick to rush to her side and both embraced her and tried to comfort her. They knew deep down that she needed this, needed to lose control because she had kept her strong armour through the entire day, not once breaking down. It was only a matter of time before the fateful experiences she went through took its toll on her.
After a few minutes, Aisha was able to calm down and she extracted herself from the heartfelt embrace. "I know what I need to do now." SHe told her surprised parents and she didn't wait for them to question what she meant. "As I was lost in my sorrow, I thought about Flora and I realized that this wasn't what she would have wanted for me. No, she would have desired that I tried to move on, find happiness even without her."
"She truly was a special girl, so kindhearted and clever."Niobe commented with the same sad smile from before.
"And she'll never be forgotten, I'll make sure of that." Aisha vowed before she stood up with Teredor's help. "But now, don't we have a party to get to?" She asked them and her parents shared surprised looks.
"Are you sure about this?"Niobe asked her, worry clear on her face.
"I am. I think what I need right now is to distract myself from all the horrible things that are happening, or else I'll go crazy." The princess of Andros admitted and Niobe and Teredor decided to respect her wishes, so they didn't push the subject anymore. After Aisha put on a pair of golden heels and they said their goodbyes to Miele, who was almost asleep, the three of them left Andros and focused on their next location: Melody.
At the palace of Melody...
Royals from all the planets had been invited to the great occasion that was taking place there. It was a night of happiness, of joy, of good. The celebration of the 14th birthday of princess Galatea, daughter of queen Melanie. The young princess was dressed in a beautiful light blue and white gown, her blonde hair was tied in a graceful bun. She smiled shyly towards the guests as she and her mother sat in their designed thrones.
Amongst these guests, there were the royals of Solaria and Eraklyon. King Radius chatted happily with king Erendor while queen Samara spent her time with the queen of Melody discussing matters. Meanwhile, prince Sky seeked his best friends, princess Stella and lord Brandon. The two had disappeared after they had arrived at the party and so Sky was forced to look for them everywhere.
"Where are these two lovebirds?" He muttered as she looked across the room. In his hands were two drinks that he held, one belonging to himself and the other to his unexpected date. Princess Diaspro of Isis was certainly not the type of girl he would usually go for. She showed herself to be spoiled, rather bossy and unadventurous.
However, after two failed dates with her, when Sky was close to giving up on trying a relationship, she had surprised him by revealing a new side more caring and interesting. He assumed her change of attitude was caused by the failure of their dates. The point is that he had come to actually like her after their third date, only two days ago, and so he had invited her to come with him to the party on Melody. She had agreed easily, but had yet to show up. Sky wondered why she was late when she had proved to be extremely punctual, but now he worried more about the location of his two best friends.
He had always sensed that there was something more between Stella and Brandon, like they weren't only best friends. And he was right, he had discovered only two days ago that the two of them had feelings for each other and they had (finally) gotten together during a party on Solaria. Sky had been explained the reasons for their new romance and he had been happy for them. He was the only one who knew that they were currently dating and he had swore not to tell to anyone until Brandon and Stella wanted the truth to come out.
"There you are!" He exclaimed once he found them near the beautiful river that encircled Melody. They were currently lost in a make-out session, but stopped as soon as they heard his voice. Both looked at him with identical blushes and scared expressions.
"Sky! You almost gave me a heart attack!" Stella complained as she separated herself from Brandon.
"Yeah, man. No need to come sneaking up on us." Brandon added with arms crossed over his chest and raised eyebrows towards his friend.
"I didn't sneak up on you, you two were so busy making out that you didn't notice me." Sky told them and they blushed even more.
"That's true. What can I say? Brandon sure is a good kisser." Stella said and Sky frowned.
"Hey, no need to be giving me the details. Just because I am okay with you two being together doesn't mean that I want to know everything." He told them firmly and the couple laughed at the look on his face.
"Okay. Sorry, man. But you know Stella, she just loves giving us all the juicy details."The blonde princess didn't argue because she knew that Brandon was right.
"How about we go in now?"Sky suggested, changing the topic.
"Sure. I would love a drink right now." Stella said suggestively while looking at her boyfriend and Brandon smiled upon noticing the extra drink in Sky's hand.
"You're so nice, Sky. You didn't have to pick my drink." He joked and it was the blonde prince's turn to blush.
"Oh, this is not for you, actually. It's for Diaspro." He said and the couple share confused looks.
"Diaspro? But I thought things hadn't worked out between you two." Stella commented.
"Yeah, last I checked you were trying to avoid her in Solaria."Sky raised his eyebrows at them since he had already told them how things had changed with Diaspro two days before.
"I already told you guys what happened."He told them and understanding came to Brandon's face.
"That's right, you did. Sorry, mate, we were so distracted by our happiness that we completely forgot." He wrapped an arm around Stella's shoulder while saying it and Sky couldn't help but smile at the sight of their joy.
"That's okay." He told them and the three resumed their walk inside. As they entered the palace, they saw Aisha and her parents talking to the queen of Melody.
"Look at poor Aisha. I don't know why she even came to this party." Stella commented and the two boys nodded.
"I wouldn't expect to find her here after princess Flora died just yesterday." Brandon sadi and Sky shrugged.
"Maybe that's exactly why she came. Perhaps she needed something to distract herself." He suggested and before Brandon could comment on his idea, their attention was turned to Stella, who gasped.
"Stella? Are you okay?" They followed her line of vision and realized that she was staring at a young girl with long blue hair, who was dressed in a red gown. She was quite pretty and mysterious, judging by the way she was partially hidden behind a pillar.
"Who is she?" Sky asked them and Stella looked back at him wide-eyed.
"Are you kidding me?" The blonde princess exclaimed and the two boys stared at her confusingly. " You don't know?"
"No, I've never heard of her." Sky replied and Stella shook her head.
"That's Musa Melody. At least I think she is." When they kept staring at her cluelessly, she sighed. "She's Galatea's cousin and the original princess of Melody. I've heard that her mother stepped down from the throne just a few months after she was crowned queen and she lived away from the palace ever since. They say that after her death, Musa and her father decided to come back to the palace and try to live here, since it's close to family."
"So her mother was queen Melanie's older sister, the former queen of Melody, and the first ruler in ages to give up on the throne?" Brandon asked incredulously and Stella nodded excitedly.
"Yep. She's truly a mystery and so is Musa. Though she lives here and is a member of the royal family, I've never seen her before during royal parties. I've even heard many people joke that she didn't exist because no one's ever seen her before. Apparently, even the queen and princess don't see her much."
"That's probably because of the pain of losing her mother, but we can't know for sure. Maybe we should talk to her." As if the young girl sensed that they were talking about her, she looked at them and they were stolen of breath due to the intensity of her look. Her midnight blue eyes were beautiful and they held so much sadness that all Stella wanted was to go talk to her and chase it away.
She didn't get a chance, though. Within seconds, Musa Melody disappeared behind the pillar and they didn't see her again for the rest of the night. Stella even asked queen Melanie about her, but not much was said. It was clear that the subject of Musa was a hard one for her. So Stella was forced to let it go and she spent the rest of the night trying to take her mind off this mysterious girl as she attempted to enjoy her time spent with Brandon.
With Aisha...
After talking to queen Melanie, she decided that the best way to start her night of distraction would be to have a drink. So she headed towards the drink table, mind still focused on Flora as she recalled many parties that they had gone to together. She was so lost in her own thoughts that she didn't even notice where she was going and ended up tripping on something. The shock made her unable to keep herself stable and she closed her eyes as she awaited for the hard contact with the ground. But it never came.
"Are you alright, miss?" She looked up to realize that she had been caught by a stranger who now stared at her in concern. Not liking the proximity between them, Aisha was quick to stand up straight and extract herself from his arms.
"I am fine, thank you very much. You didn't have to save me."Aisha hated being considered a damsel in distress, she liked to think that she could take care of herself and no man was needed to make her safe.
"I think this is the first time a lady has been angered after I saved her." The man remarked and as she stared at him, Aisha couldn't help but notice that he was quite handsome. His hair was reddish brown and long, currently wrapped in a braid. That wasn't so strange for her since she had been friends with Helia for years and he too had long hair. The man strangely wore a cape instead of the normal gentlemen's attire and she could see a staff placed in the belt on his waist.
"Well, maybe you should ask someone before you saved them."She suggested sarcastically and his violet eyes were filled with shock.
"You're truly something else."He told her and she raised her eyebrows.
"I could say the same about you."Aisha replied, though she didn't sound as complementary.
"Is that a compliment?"He raised his eyebrows and Aisha was surprised by how easy it was to talk to him. She missed having someone to talk to, since Helia had gone to Red Fountain she had only been left with Flora and, though they were the best of friends, the nature fairy was too sweet and Aisha would never talk tough to her. It felt good to be able to do so with someone.
"What do you think?"She fought back and the mysterious stranger smiled.
"I think you're not the kind to go on complimenting people. Seems to me like you're more of a tough talker."She was even more surprised at how easily he could read her.
"You got that right. So I suggest that you go on your way now, unless you're up to the challenge of making conversation with me."His smile enlarged and he took a step until he was right in front of her.
"I must say I do love a challenge myself."He said before he bowed and she raised her eyebrows at him.
"What are you doing?"She wondered if he knew who she was, it didn't seem likely considering the way he was talking to her.
"I was wondering if you would prefer to continue this conversation with a dance."He suggested.
"You want to dance with me?"She asked with eyebrows raised even higher.
"Isn't that what a party is supposed to be about?"He asked back and Aisha was so stunned that she didn't refuse his request.
"So I guess we have no choice here but to dance."It was his turn to look at her in surprise and Aisha smiled. "But first I would like to know who you are."
"I have a better idea."He suggested with a mischievous smirk. "How about we don't share our identities with each other?"
"Why? Scared that I won't like you after I know who you are?"She teased and his smirk remained.
"Not at all. I just thought it would be more interesting that way."As she thought about it, Aisha realized that she actually enjoyed the idea. The downside of being a princess was that people always treated her differently once they found out, so she thought maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing if he didn't know who she was.
"Okay. You've got yourself a deal."She replied and his surprise was short lived for quickly he was taking her hand and leading her towards the dance floor. They danced for a few minutes and Aisha started thinking that she had made the right choice by coming there, that maybe this night wouldn't be filled with sorrow like the one before. She hoped that she could enjoy herself and not keep replaying the memory of seeing her best friend's body. Unfortunately, it's as the saying goes "Hope breeds eternal misery." After only a few minutes of her dancing with her partner, she saw her parents desperately calling for her on the other side of the room.
"Everything alright?"Her partner asked after she sighed and she gave him an apologizing smile.
"I'm afraid it's time for me to go."She told him and he smiled gently at her.
"I understand. Will I see you around later?"He asked her and she shook her head.
"Probably not. Now you can enjoy this party with someone who won't spend every minute making snarky comments."She told him and he smiled.
"I don't think I'll find any girl here as beautiful and surprising as you."He replied and Aisha had a hard time keeping the smile off her face.
"Is that a compliment?"She asked and his smile enlarged.
"What do you think?"He repeated her words of earlier and Aisha smiled brightly.
"Thank you for the dance. You're pretty good at it."He surprised her once again by taking her hand and lightly kissing it.
"I hope you decide to stay, my lady." She didn't know what to reply, so she just smiled at him before leaving. She mixed in with the crowd so that he wouldn't see where she was going.
"Hey, what's going on? Is everything alright?"She asked her apparently worried filled parents.
"I'm afraid that things have taken a turn for the worse, dear." Teredor cautiously said and Aisha was filled with worry and fear.
"What happened now?"She muttered exasperatedly and her mother looked at her with so much sympathy and sadness that it was overwhelming.
"They were able to track down Helia, we just received a message from Lily." Aisha awaited for her to elaborate and Niobe sighed. "His...body was found in Lord Remus' mansion in Limphea. He's gone, Aisha." The words hit her hard and Aisha found herself unable to speak or even breathe as the images of Flora and Helia's dead bodies filled her mind. They tried to calm her down, but it was no use. Soon she felt herself falling once again and strong arms wrapped around her, but she didn't even look up to see who it was. She just let go of her sense of reality and let the darkness welcome her as she fell unconscious.
Back with Flora...
"It's huge."Flora commented as she and Andromeda made their way to a giant cemetery located near the beach. Helia's grandmother had explained to her how everyone who ever died had a grave somewhere in there and these graves would be in different shape depending on the fate of the person. If they were straight, it meant that the person had moved on to heaven, while if they were tipped over the person would be trapped in the Underworld. If the graves were cracked it meant that their fate was much worse, they'd gone to hell. "How are we going to find my parents' graves?" The young girl asked and Andromeda smiled.
"It's actually very simple. Since you have a deep connection with your parents, due to your love for them, you'll be able to know which grave is theirs."The nature fairy had trouble understanding it, but after a few seconds she started getting a strange feeling, as if something or someone was pulling her towards the west.
"We should go left."She said and Andromeda followed her through the path."I see what you mean now, it's as if something's pulling me this way." They walked for a few minutes until they reached an area that was close to the cliff overlooking the sea. There were only two graves there unlike most of the cemetery where there were so many. They read the names and Flora's heart hurt at the mention of queen Alyssa and king Rollos of Limphea. But as she realized that both graves were in an upright position, she smiled.
"It seems as if they have moved on. I'm sorry you didn't get a chance to say goodbye, dear."
"It's okay, I'm happy that they've gone to a better place. They deserved it."She replied and there was a loud sound that made her look around suspiciously. "What is that?"
"That's the giant clock we have in town. Since there's no difference between day and night here, it's the only way for us to know what time is it. It usually rings like this when it's noon and midnight."Flora's eyes widened as she realized what this meant.
"So that means that I've been dead for over 24 hours."She said and her mind went to Aisha and Helia as she wondered how they would be doing as they realized it."And Miele has been shot by that arrow 24 hours ago."
"I'm afraid you need to hurry if you still wish to save her."Andromeda remarked and Flora nodded.
"I've done some thinking over the past few hours and I've decided that I can't let my sister die, even if that's her fate. She doesn't deserve to suffer like this, she needs to be healed."Flora spoke determinately and Andromeda sighed.
"I was sure that this would be the decision you'd make. So you want to try to make a deal with Hades?" The nature fairy nodded and Helia's grandmother was about to say something when she noticed something in the water. She walked closer towards the cliff, making Flora worry, until she could overlook the ocean. A bridge had appeared in the middle of it, as if by magic.
"What's the matter?"Flora asked and Andromeda looked at her with wide eyes when she realized that Flora probably couldn't see that bridge.
"Can you see that?"Her suspicions were confirmed when the nature fairy shook her head. "It's incredible. I thought that I would be trapped here forever."
"Now what do you mean?"Flora asked, confused, and Andromeda smiled.
"The bridge of lost souls has appeared in the ocean. You won't be able to see it, because it only shows for someone who's finished their business."The nature fairy's eyes widened as she understood.
"So does that mean that you can move on now?" Andromeda nodded.
"I think so. I didn't wish to leave you here alone, but..."Flora didn't let her finish.
"It's okay, I'm glad that I could help you. I hope you'd stay with me, but I understand that this isn't where you're meant to be." The older woman wasted no time in giving her a tight hug that Flora easily returned.
"Thank you, dear. You have saved me and I'll never forget it."They stayed like that for a few seconds before Andromeda broke apart from the hug and started heading down the hill. Flora followed her until they reached the beach once again. "Goodbye, dear Flora. I hope that you can save your sister and that things will turn out well for you. You deserve to be happy and to find peace." Both were crying by then.
"And I'll never forget you."They shared one last hug before Andromeda walked into the ocean, following the bridge of lost souls towards the two doors that were at the end. She sighed in relief when the left one opened as she approached them, for this was the portal that would take her to heaven. Right before she entered it, she suddenly reminded of something.
"Please, if you ever find Helia or my dearest Saladin, tell them that I love them very much and that I'm so sorry that I had to leave."She told Flora, who smiled sadly.
"I promise."With these last words shared between them, Andromeda entered the beautiful golden door and it closed behind her before disappearing. Flora looked at the empty spot on the ocean and sighed. Andromeda's absence made her feel unsafe, scared because now she was trapped in the Underworld all alone.
"Hello."A voice was heard and she turned back quickly only to spot the same blonde girl they had met by the mirrors.
"Oh, hi."Flora was unsure what to say, she had no idea who this person was.
"I'm sorry if I startled you, Flora, it wasn't my intention."Green eyes widened and she took a few steps back.
"How do you know my name?"The blonde girl smiled at her, a reassuring smile.
"I've been sent here by Hades, he wishes to see you. I am Daphne, by the way."For a few minutes, Flora stared at her in shock as she tried to process her words.
"Hades wants to see me?"She asked and Daphne nodded.
"Yes. He would like for you to meet him as soon as possible."The blonde girl replied, seeming a bit surprised that Flora knew who Hades was.
"Then let's get going."The nature fairy replied after a few minutes of thinking and she followed Daphne towards the cave where the god of death awaited her.
What did you think? Did you like my surprises? I noticed some people were wondering where the rest of the Winx were, so I decided to give you a peek. As you can tell, I've altered a few details of Musa's story and you'll learn more about Matlin's death in later chapters. I'm afraid you'll have to wait for her next appearance and Tecna's, those two will only be a part of the story in Part 2, which is only a few chapters away.
What are your thoughts about AishaXNabu scenes? I'm afraid these two won't have anymore scenes together until we reach Part 3, but I wanted to give you something at least.
Did you enjoy the few FloraXAndromeda scenes + FloraXDaphne at the end? I know it was a bit rushed, but I wanted to make this chapter mostly about Aisha's feelings and the party at Melody. Are you understanding these new infos I'm giving about the Underworld, such as the graves thing and the bridge of lost souls? Now Helia's fate has been revealed, but where has his soul gone to?
Next chapter will be mostly about FloraXHades and we'll have the return of Bloom and a few scenes with the gods as they discover about Flora's fate. It should come by the weekend. Think we can make it to 6 reviews this time?
