Heart of a Fairy (Winx Club Fanfic)

Chapter 24

Penda POV

Roxy is starting to get used to the thought of being a fairy. Soaking in our lives and how we've grown to live it. She even got a chance to meet Faragonda and learn about Alfea.

But at the thought of leaving Gardenia, she storms off refusing to leave her home. It will definitely take time, following her, we see some commotion below only to see its there attention on us.

We've grown popular with the news and reporters and more. It is a bit troublesome. Tracking Roxy, we realize we have to be careful and continue to protect the world around us. We continue to go on our adventures, but things shift as we go on the hunt for the Fairies of Earth.

Leading us to travel to the Enchanted Island, with the help of Faragonda, we make it there. Tecna scans the area helping us find the right direction to go. On the way there Roxy faints, awakening from the dream, she panics wondering how she will fulfill her destiny. Bunkering down, we set up our tents. Leaving her behind, protected under a thick dome, we continue forward.

I get separated from the girls, "Layla? Bloom? Where are you!"

Getting distracted, I see something in the corner of my eyes, the sight of my family.

"What?", I towards them, only to get sucked into a black tornado. Everything goes black until I awaken in an empty room, Roxy is here as well.

Transforming, we use our abilities to break the wall down. Roxy falls once more, feeling the familiarity of the space, and hearing the fairies' whispers.

The black guardian was created by the dark wizards and traps its opponents after blurring them with a dream or vision of their desires. As it appears, our dreams now of darkness attack us, aiming for Roxy.

Distracting the beast, I converge with Musa to take down the singing sirens. Roxy and Bloom return, while Tecna scans the dungeon. Stella and I take down the last of the shadow creatures. Leaving the Black Guardian, Roxy and Bloom go ahead while we deal with the guardian.

Magic fills the air, light seeping through as the dark spell disappears, freeing the fairies, and revealing the Queen of Fairies.

The fairy of Roxy's dreams along with the warrior fairies appear before us, kneeling for Roxy. Introducing ourselves we bow, and with their thanks, the Queen claims the realm of vengeance. Bloom combats her, defending the humans.

Trying to convince them to let go of their vengeance, by refusing to join them, they shun us. The pain in their hearts is clear, as clear as the regret Roxy feels for freeing them.

A few days pass, with the news of being accepted as an all-girl band, due to Jason seeing our performance.

They want us to play in the competition, so dressed for success we start rehearsal with Andy. Everything is going well until a fairy appears, a major fairy. Consuming the room with greenery and dust, the humans faint falling into a deep slumber.

Stepping forward she walks over to us, Diana The Major Fairy of Nature desires Roxy, wanting her to join the resistance. Thick vines, cover us, consuming our energy. Feeling faint, her rage and hatred weekend me.

The boys slip out from the vines, Noa rushes over trying to break the vine. Flora focuses her magic, trying to loosen the vines, but it doesn't work.

Nabu weakens the vines, allowing us to transform and break free. Flora senses Diana, making it to the park with the specialist the vines transform into beasts. Even through the battles of trying to find her the boys are gone, taking them away, back to her realm.

Worry fills me, this battle is far from over.

Learning about the Gifts of Destiny, it's time for us to go beyond Believix. A blue light glows Revealing the Ethereal Fairies, who will grant us the gifts of destiny after facing and passing the trials of our future.

The first gift is of wisdom, Sofix. Our emotional and instinctual energies will merge reaching complete harmony in nature. I am granted the gift of Breathing Life. Transforming, we teleport, to the Amazon. 

Arriving, and diving deeper into the forest, her energy is clear. Using Tracix, we take a dip into the past. Leading us to soon face Diana's warrior fairies. Flying off, we get away, seeing the consequences of what humans have done to the world, and nature.

Cutting down countless trees and destroying the environment. The deforesters quickly mistake us for the forest fairies. Cornering them and Diana's warriors, we transform into Sofix, I feel the heart of nature every moment of life. I can't help but wonder if this is how Flora feels.

I spread my powers among the nature being used against us, "Beating Life, this is the souls of every living creature, of every root and fruit that hangs from the vines."

The life that was once broken is healed and grown.

Melding with nature, Musa, Layla, Flora and I make our way to Diana's tower. Slipping deeper into the palace of stone and rock we find the boys.

Holding onto Noa, Layla breaks their chains, but Nabu isn't there. Feeling a burst of magic and hatred, the four of us get tossed and chained to the wall. Gas fills the air, causing the boys the fall into a deep slumber. As the chains weaken us, the warrior fairies bring in a weak Nabu.

I struggle, feeling tears fall at the sight of Noa on the ground.

Trying to break from the chains, the door opens to reveal Diana. Claiming she will punish us, Flora warns her, only for Diana to chain the boys to the wall. As her powers flair, seeing Flora's words are true we are left in the dungeon alone.

The rest of the girls join us and when they do, we all awaken, all except Nabu. Using our gift, we combine our power, breaking the chains. Bloom heals Nabu, awakening him from his weakened state.

Entering Diana falls to her knees, feeling nature crumble as humans continue to demolish the forest.

Left behind with the warriors we knock them out, giving us a chance to escape. Finding Diana and the rest of the humans we work together to take them down. Leaving the deforestation members we find the heart of the forest.

Using our gift we restore it, and the forest that feeds on its life. This eases Diana's vengeance, leading her to a new path of love.

And even when the final human comes to attack us the native people stand and defend us, keeping their work and tradition to protect the forest and its heart with Diana and her warriors. Her final act is to free the bits of Gardiana that were once consumed by nature and terror.

The Ethereal Fairies appear to congratulate us, now granting us the second gift, the gift of the heart.

Feeling the power of pure love and emotion, I smile, feeling whole, complete, and full. The Ethereal Fairies depart, warning us of the future.
