Heart of a Fairy (Winx Club Fanfic)

Chapter 16

Penda POV

A new day comes, sitting in Professor Wizgiz's class, I notice Stella looking off into the distance.

Stepping out with her and Musa, Stella explains her worry about Brandon. He stayed behind to allow us to escape Sky's kingdom during our late-night mission.

Layla joins us, asking for herbal tea to help calm her nerves. Drinking the green tea, we try to relax. Feeling a shift in the wind I drop my cup causing it to break.

Flora looks at me, "Penda, what's wrong?"

I frown, "Something's changed, something's shifted."

As I say this storm clouds cover the sky. Then rain falls along with the witches of Cloud Tour. They shoot lightning down, attacking the protective barrier. We are gathered to prepare for battle.

Seeing Valtor come down from the sky I frown. Faragonda faces him, determined to protect her students and school. They fight above, leaving our sights.

Standing between Layla and Stella we shout.

"ENCHANTIX!"

Transforming, we take the skies, blasting the Witches away. A large gust of energy blows us back but we don't falter.

With the duty to keep the witches away, I slam my hands together, "Love Bomb."

The light spreads through the sky knocking the witches down. Not seeing the Trix, I frown.

Turning the witches away, we cheer as the dark skies clear. Slipping inside to meet with the others we see Musa has earned her Enchantix.

But our Head Mistress is still missing. The next morning we leave the school with the pixies by our side to help us look.

Transforming, we find the remains of the battle. The large residue of dark magic tells us things didn't end well.

Flora speaks with nature, as the winds blow, they whisper to her.

Hurt, she explains how they witnessed the battle reassuring that Ms. Faragonda is alive. But the direction is leading us to Cloud Tower.

Making our way to the grounds we see Merta already there. Worried about the other witches we agree that she can join us.

Stepping inside in our normal form, we walk through the deserted hallways. Entering a dorm room we see the witches in a coma-like state lying on their bed.

Tecna explains how they are in suspended animation. While Merta looks for Lucy we hear something from outside.

Trapped in the hallway, the doors fade away. Beasts surround us, transforming we take the skies.

Stella illuminates the room, shooting at them, we team up using convergence to hold them off.

Merta runs off, only to fall into Valtors trap. We try to catch up, sending an attack our way I quickly create a shield.

My glare is deadly, "Is today the day you fall?"

Blasting him he deflects it with ease, only to growl as his gloves burns a bit.

"Looks like you can bleed."

He smirks at me, "I won't be the one bleeding today. You've been hit with a negation spell, so no more convergence for you."

Musa frowns, "We'll see about that!"

Trying to bind hands, dark lighting strikes us. Angered we try to attack him, he returns the favors but we dodge just in time.

Creating a hole, we fly above him as he stands in the auditorium. The crossfire is repetitive as we attack and dodge. Then hands made of wall and stone grab us.

Getting tossed on the ground, I glare at Valtor as he leaves us behind to be dealt with by the defenses he left behind.

Weak I stand, "We don't need to touch for our convergence to work. Girls take the sky."

Flying, we get in position. Creating a rainbow of light we push the witches back.

Only to flee from the phantom hands that once bound us.

Merta appears helping us escape. Finding Ms. Griffin, we're tasked to find the Great Guardians of Cloud Tower.

Finding them, Bloom and Tecna shield us from their attacks. Realizing they have the mark of Valtor I shake my head, "They let's test out this fairy dust."

Flying I unlock the bottle of dust, as the top fades away, I outline the mark of my people. Collecting it in my hands, I blow it across the guardians watching as the mark fades.

With them freed, Cloud Tower isn't as defenseless as it once was. Aiding us they tell us of Faragonda being locked in an oak tree.

Parting with Merta, we return to the deep ends of the forest. Finding her I gasp, Flora can tell it is ancient hibernation magic.

With the promise of saving her, we give her our wishes.

Transporting to Flora's home world, her little sister introduces herself to us. With the promise to take us to the Sage of the Trees, we continue forward following the little girl.

Slipping on a large leaf, we take flight. It's fast, and the clear starts to turn into a storm with harpies to match the setting. Ready to attack us, we quickly transform.

Shooting them down more keeps coming. Stella on the edge of the leaf, looks at me worryingly. Having faith in her wings she lets go, handling the strongest winds.

As the leaf gets tossed and turned I take the sky with Stella, Musa, and Layla.

Shooting the Harpy's down, we finish them off. We land making it to the Sage peacefully, it speaks to us.

Explaining the waters of the Black Willow Tree, and how it reverses the flow of time. Needing a goblet to collect the water we make our way there.

Getting on Giant Ladybugs to fly there, Flora's little sister tries to go. Flora explains how it's too dangerous, bending down she tells the Ladybug to send her home. Bidding her goodbye, we continue forward.

Walking over the tightrope made of vines we make it to the other side surprisingly in one piece.

Finding the waterfall, we behind behind it. Seeing the Black Willow, Flora's sister appears to remind them of the sages words.

Flora fusses at her while Stella makes a goblet. Collecting some water it gets blasted out of her hand.

Seeing the Trix, Musa and I transform along with Flora and Bloom.

While the others protect Flora's sister. Darcy ruins the water, destroying the Black Willow's environment.

Flora rushes to attack them only to get knocked down. Combining their powers to destroy the willow her sister jumps in taking the blast.

Getting knocked into the water, Flora binds them with ivy before diving into the water to save her sister.

Seeing her sister resurface safely I gasp. Angry, at Stormy's words I rip out of my icy binds. The water returns to its glory. And so does Flora as she flies to the top in her Enchantix form.

Using her pixie dust she heals the Black Willow, allowing it to grab the Trix and toss them in the water.

Landing before me, I congratulate her.

The Trix emerge as children, Bloom scares them off with the thought of a time-out making us laugh.

Returning to Ms. Faragonda the water returns to us back to her former glory. Free of the Oak tree, we welcome her back with open arms.
