Ashes to Ashes

S3: Mother Knows Best

      

         "Bloom, my sweet Bloom, you've finally awoken." Marion speaks while tears gather in Blooms eyes. "I know you have questions, please sit, dinner is almost ready." She continues hovering her hand near a chair that Bloom slowly walks to. Taking a seat all Bloom can do is stare in stunned silence. "How ?" Bloom says finally and Marion stops stirring the soup slowly turning to her. "Your father and I thought it best to put you in a deep sleep, while we fought against the three blood witches who wished to use you to harness the dragon flame. You were just a baby." Marion tells setting down a bowl of soup with some bread and water. "I entrusted Farah to you. When I gave you to that family that lost their daughter, I knew you'd be safe. That when you were of age, you'd go to the school and learn. I repressed your powers long enough but due to your strong emotions you awoken them." Marion says while sitting down across from her daughter. "Now I'm happy you're here but the dark dimension isn't a place for you to be, because there are evil forces here who'd stop at nothing to have your magic." Marion says while Bloom looks back up at her brushing her tears away. "I came here to know you, where I came from, my dragon flame."

"Well let's get started."

Sky and I fall to the floor my legs unable to hold me up anymore. He holds me while I cry before I suddenly grow quiet. "I can open the portal." I say before trying to pull away from him but he holds me tighter. "You will do no such thing." Sky says while Lydia continues to try and pull away. "I have to Sky, she can't stay there. It's an awful place. I know what that place is. My uncle was sent there." I say while Sky holds me tighter. "She chose to do this we must respect her wishes." Sky says with a labored sigh. "C'mon let's get you back to your room. You need rest."

Reading over the book I try and find a way to get to the Dark dimension with no such luck. "One must sacrifice for the other to come back." I read out loud before I roll my eyes and slam the book shut. "Wow okay." I say before I call my mom. "Mom you know how uncle Kai's locked away in the Dark Dimension ?"

"Yes, why ?"

"How do I get in successfully and how do I get back ?"

"Oh Lydia what craziness have you gotten yourself into now ?"

"Your father, Oritel. He sacrificed himself to see to your safety. He's buried here."

"He is but why ?"

"This realm was once beautiful Bloom, it used to be our home. Domino became a prison world, this is where the three witches set their sights when they came after you. Now the bad are placed here. I'm the warden. I keep everyone in their place." Marion tells her while cleaning up the dishes. "Let's go on a little walk."

"This used to be a castle, I'm a Princess, what ?"

"Yes I once was a queen, technically still am." Marion jokes while Bloom smiles following after her. "I wish to restore it to its natural glory and stick all the baddies in the halo dimension."

"Halo dimension ?"

"Yes, it's an endless void of black. It's where I want to put them. But for now I have a feeling."

"What kind of feeling ?"

"That it's only a matter of time before the Witches who started all of this return. Your father and I exiled them deep in the earth behind  enchanted bars. But I feel their strength growing, they may be spirits now but their vessels have been born and they're getting closer and closer to becoming our undoing."

"How do we stop them ?"

"I'll train you, help you to harness your abilities to the fullest, you've transformed yes ?"

"I have."

"That's not your only form, you can train in many different ways to harness different transformations."

"Well let's get started."
