Back into Laverna's hideout Laverna had a special exescise for him…. One he didn't like of course but what should he do Laverna was his Queen…. Her word was his law….
„Speak to me Elina what's going on you're trembeling…!", Marieposa looked concerned at her younger sister.
„What's going on?", a very sleepy prince Carlos in pyjama came out of the bedroom.
„Nothing darling, just my sister… Go back to sleep.", Mariposa kissed him.
„Oh..Hello… I'll better go to sleep….", the tired went back into the sleeping room.
„Are you sure that I didn't disturb you and your financee?"
„No… you really didn't.", Marieposa blushed, while Bibble gave her an disbelieving look.
„Well actually he is my husbund…", she admidt.
„Your husbund…since when?", Elina was surprised.
„Since tonight…. We married secretly, besides Raila no one knows jet! Please keep the secret sister… I don't know how Flutterfield will react to the news.!"
„Don't worry sis' I won't tell, right Bibble?"
Elina turned around to Bibble who was eating some very delicious berrys.
He made a cute agreeing noice and bite into another berry.
Both fairys lought.
Elina dearly wanted to tell her sister what was going on with her since the flight of spring, but her feelings told her not to…
She was confused was there no one she could trust or did she just lost her mind.
„Elina…", Marieposa tried to get the attention of her little sister back.
„Yes… sorry… it's just the Enchantress … she is ill… I mean I dreamt she was ill…., Elina decided not to tell her sister the truth, I dreamt the Laverna poisened the Enchantress!"
„Don't worry sister… this allredy happened and you defeated her…", Marieposa took Elinas hand to comfort her.
„Yes… but since the flight of spring I've constandly nightmarrs…."
„Don't worry Elina…I'm sure this is caused by the spell Laverna used against you at the flight of spring….Maybe a healer could help?"
„No you know that I'm afrsied of healers since I'm a little girl…", breathed Elina hard.
„Yes… I remember… maybe you could…", Mariposa began as suddenly her husbund came back into the room.
This time he was fully awake: „We must hurry, guards are here loonking for intruders… I think it's the best if our guest leaves us now… for her own sake."
„What happened?", asked Marieposa shocked.
„I'm not sure … I heard the voice of the general … he said something about a green creature that had been seen outside…"
Green creature that might be fungos, thought Elina.
Out of shock Bibble lost one of the berrys he was eating.
„Come…", the prince took Elinas heand and flew together with Elina to the window.
„I'll go back to the palace too… The general is very overprotective lately. We see us tomorror my love.", he kissed his wife who had followed them goodby.
„I'll keep the guards busy.", she told them right in time as she heard a knock on the door.
Suddlenly Bibble realised that Elina was gone, fast he took a big berry, embraced Marieposa goodby and flew out the window Marieposa pointed at…
It didn't take him long to catch up with Elina and Carlos who where hiding behind a giant flower…
„I'm sorry for my ruddness!", Carlos apologiest, but these days Fluttefeeled seemed not to be safe!"
„It's allright… thank you." , Elina nodded.
„I have to fly this way…. Over there is a short cut to the magic Meddow, Elina.", he pointed at the directions.
„How do you know my…"
„Your sister told me much about you….", he noded and flew away.
Elina took Bibble's hand who was still eating, and together they flew into the other direction…
As soon as Elina and Bibble were sure no one could see them anymore, Elina magically transfered them back to Fairytopia.
Max who was watching them couldn't belive what he had just seen….
The only fairy he had ever seen vanishing magically had been Laverna….
However that meant more work for him…
Laverna wanted him to follow Elina! Maybe he should look ones more into the magical copies he made of the letters he found in Piony.
The first letter was to Dandelion, a friend to Elina he supposed…. However this letter was rather useless… She just wrote to her friend that she would be away for a few days to visit a friend in Flutterfield.
However the second letter seemed to be a letter from Elina friend Marieposa who basicly asked Elina how she was doing and that she would love to see her again.
Max rolled his eyes…. These letters are useless…
„I wonder what Azura was doing in Piony…", he thought aloud.
He decied to follow his flash of inspiration and went to Azura.
It was a hard and long way…
What would he give to be able to fly.
to.
Max sight, then he remembered he could fly.
„Rexy …", he called and imidiatly a huge firebird came to pick him up.
Good thing Laverna's firebirds spend there holidays in Flutterfield.
Bibble was surpriced to find himself at in front of Azura's house not Piony.
„Why are we here?", he asked Elina confused.
„I thought it might be better to go to Azura..", Elina noded and Bibble understood.
Elina knocked at Azura's door.
Azura opened…
„Elina…?"
„Sorry to disturb you at such a late hour…"
„Please come in….", Azura led Bibble and Elina in.
„Tell me child what are you doing at such a late hour in fairytown?"
„I wanted to visit my friend Marieposa in Flutterfield, but on my way I heard that a green creature was in Flutterfield…
I wanted to go home at first, but then I thought it would be better if I'll tell you."
„Thank you for telling me Elina. Don't worry I'm sure Flutterfield solders will find the intruders.", suddenly Azura went calm.
„I wanted to talk to you anyways… I went to Piony tonight and have to admit that I have read your letters, I wanted to ask you for help! The Enchantress fall suddenly ill. The gurdians did everything that could be done but…."
„Tell me… what is going on with the Enchantress?", asked Elina sadly.
„She is alive barly…. We thought you might be able to help us."
„What … Why me? You are the gurdians …. When even you can't do anything … Why should I be able to do?", asked Elina confused.
Azura gave her a disbelieving look.
„I know that since the flight if spring your powers have become stronger Elina! All aprentices gave you willintly a part of their power… wich stayed in your body till today. At first I thought this would wear off, but I was mistaken…. What's willingtly given only willingtly can be taken away. This could be the only chance to save the live of the Enchantress.", Azura looked appologizing at Elina.
Elina nodded: „I'll understand… be happy to help the enchentress. I will try my best."
In the mean time the weather had become rainy…. A huge storm to be exactly…. And poor Max had been right in the middle of it.
Firebirds hate storms especially the raining part so the bird decided to throw Max off him to search shelter.
„Stupid bird!", mumbled Max angry after his painfully arrival on the ground.
Luckily he was near Azura's house so it didn't take long for him to reach it.
The moment he began to go Max was suddenly hit by a thunderbolt.
He was glad as he reached the house.
„When?", asked Elina.
„It's the best if we go now to the crystal palace!", Azura spoke sadly.
Azura took Elina's hand and magically vanished them both to the crystal palace.
Max only could see the blue light as they vanished.
He decided to ignore Bibble who laied sleeping on the table on a plate with some bberrs with two berrys in his mound.
„Oh… great now I can walk to the Crystal Palace!", said Max ironically.
„It can not become worse!", suddenly Max was hit by two thunderbolts. He sight and went to the palace.
Azura and Elina magically appeared in the great hall of the Crystal Palace.
In the middle on the bed laid the Enchantress, around her in the circle all gurdians stand next to their apprentices.
Elina and Azura flew to the circle.
„Elina… Are you ready?", Ruby asked concerned.
„Yes…. Azura explaind everything to me..", she noded shyly.
„Then we shell beginn…", Arnythist said.
„One thing Elina…. Once we beginn we can not stop until the spell is finished. And we can't garantee what will happen to you. You might won't be able to use magic anymore and have some health issues.", another gurdian said.
„Wait? I thought … But.. Isn't this to dangerous…", Faban was shocked.
The other apprentices where shocked too.
„It's allright…the Enchantress is more important then I am.", Elina calmed her friends down.
„Fine.. We beginn then…", Topaz said.
Elina was handed a stone, she flew next to the Enchantress and hold the stone in the air.
Everyone in the circle shoot their energy into the crystalstone until they where exausted.
After the stone was full of energy, Elina conected the stone with her own magic and waved the energy to the sleeping, deathlike queen.
This was the moment Max arrived and looked into the window.
He was shocked as he realized what they where doing.
„Seriously, they are draining the live out of the poor girl…. When Laverna tried to borrow some magic from the gurdians ti restore Fairytopia it had been a crime… But when their precious ENCHENTRESS is ill, he spelled the name with disgust, it's ok to kill a 16teen year old. I call this double standarts."
Suddenly Max saw some Fungos hiding near the palace.
„He Carl, Max called one, what are you doing here?"
„Laverna sent us to find out what's going on!"
„Go home and tell her that Azura and Elina are trying to heal the Enchantress!"
„Ok…", replaid Carl. „Do you come home befour supper?", he asked his boss.
„Yes…. So leaf me some!", replied Max.
He desided to tell Laverna, the details of the healing process himself later.
At first the healing process was easy for Elina, it was just draining her magic….
Because everyone was tired they decided to rest into another room.
Azura refused and tried to stay by Elina, but lost her concision, so Ruby gently took her and laid her down outside on a flowerbed.
A while after that everything went fine for Elina…. She was tiered too but she had to stay awake for the sake of the Enchantress.
It couldn't possiblie take much longer the crystal had taken almost her whole magic.
At least Elina thought that…
As soon as the crystal had drained out her whole magic, Elina felt her neclace and her wings dissapearing…..She wanted to crie but now the sake of the Enchantress was more important then her wings.
It should be over now… it should but it wasn't…. Suddenly Elina felt stange… like the crystal was draining out her live…
She couldn't breath…
Max couldn't watch this torture any longer, he jumped through the window into the room, grap a glace of fairywine put one drop of Laverna's special sleeping potion into it and hoped that his plan would work.
Elina was to weak now to notice what was going on and the room was empty, so he put the drink right before Elina's face and hid himself.
His plan worked Elina weakly graped the wine and dank it… Immidiatly she fell asleep and the spell stopped working.
Max thanked God that his plan had worked that quickly… only a few minutes later and the girl might have been died.
Yes, he cared about Elina… Even though she had been his enemy he was a fungo he had a heart….
After this short moment of happiness he quickly replaced the glace with an identical one and cut fast a strain of Elina's hair…
He had to leave quickly but befour he did, he gently laid Elina next to the Enchantress so that she was not on the ground anymore.
Fast he jumped out the window as he was hid by tree tounderbolds this time.
He sight, but saw then a firebird near the palace.
His heart was filled with happieness now, at least he didn't have to walk to Laverna's new hideout.
This time Max wasn't trown by the firebird.
Back into the hideout, he gave Laverna the strain of Elina's hair….
A few minutes later after the the great revaltion of Laverna, Max decided to tell her what he had seen in the crystal palace and went outside to calm himself, while Laverna rewatched Elina's recent memorys.
The weather was good now, the sun was shining and „No thubderbold", thought Max aloud.
Suddenly a small dark cloud appeared right above him and hit him with a huge tounderbold.
„Seriously!",Max cried out angry.
„I'll better shut."
„Max come…", Laverna called him.
„After I rewatched Elina's memorys I figured that our plan needs a little change…", Laverna smiled evil.
Oh great… if there was anything that Max feared more than a crazy plan from Laverna…. It was a murch crazier plan.
Maybe he should have traveled longer through the world to prevent things like this …..
