A little after Season 7, episode 26:

Electra's heart raced as she pulled out her book of wins, losses, and strategies, her fingers trembling with excitement. Memories flooded back as she stared at the lyrics of the song she and Aisha had penned, a testament to her hard-fought victory in earning complete Enchantix powers.

"The day I earned Pyrix was a big test for me,
A burning question echoed in my mind:
Do I love to win or hate to lose more?
The answer lay hidden deep inside."

Her thoughts spiraled back to that pivotal day when the witches had returned for their fifth assault. Her patience had been stretched thin, teetering on the edge of rage. In those moments, all she felt was a fierce resentment toward losing.

"The day the witches returned, my patience was put to the test.
I'll be honest—I still hated to lose back then,
But now, I love to win!"

Electra could almost hear her own voice rising in strength. Every defeat had once ignited a firestorm of fury within her. But now, she had learned to breathe, to hum a soothing note that whispered reassurance.

"Now, every time we lose,
I simply hum a note and say,
'It's okay, it's okay,
We'll get them eventually,
We just have to wait.'
Do I still think about revenge?
Yes.
But do I act on it?
Heck no!
I take the loss patiently
And remind myself: it's okay."

Her chest tightened as she recalled the horrors of Fearwood Forest, the chill of despair when Flora's wings had frozen in fear. The rage had surged, and she had lunged at Icy, demanding immediate payback. But the words she heard in the Legendarium echoed in her mind, a lifeline guiding her through the storm.

"What happened in Fearwood Forest was horrible.
Flora's wings took a freeze!
With all that anger boiling inside me,
I attacked Icy, demanding revenge immediately.
But then I heard the Legendarium set me straight.
Now I know what Miss Faragonda meant:
Waiting for the right moment to strike.
It doesn't mean biding my time;
It means strategizing."

Determination surged within her. She had learned to bide her time, to form a plan, to seize the moment when it mattered most. The thrill of that strategic victory sent shivers of satisfaction down her spine.

"I waited patiently, formulated a plan,
And when the right time came,
We gave those witches what they deserved!"

Electra's heart soared. After countless battles, countless losses, she had found clarity.

"Now that I've faced defeat time and again,
I've made up my mind:
I love to win more than I hate to lose."

She smiled brightly, feeling the warmth of her journey washing over her. Each setback had forged her into the fairy she was today.

"Now, every time we lose,
I simply hum a note and say,
'It's okay, it's okay,
We'll get them eventually,
We just have to wait.'
Do I still think about revenge?
Yes.
But do I act on it?
Heck no!
I take the loss patiently
And remind myself: it's okay."

With renewed vigor, Electra wrote:

"The day I earned my complete Enchantix powers
Filled me with joy and pride.
It took three years, but every moment was worth it,
Because my former feelings of revenge are out of sight!"

She put her purple pen to the page, reflecting on her hard-fought victory:

"The battle for nature was tough. From encountering Kalshara in Alfea Natural Park to us being caught by mutant fungi on Lymphea and everything in between, we have experienced many losses, but we made it here and now Icy, Darcy, Stormy, and Kalshara are defeated for good. It feels good to have this new mindset. I'm glad I listened to Miss Faragonda and Aisha, because they were both right. Strategizing until the right moment to attack is truly more satisfying than demanding revenge immediately. Thinking about getting back is not a bad thing, as long as I don't act on those feelings. Feels good to lose gracefully and win more patiently. Loving to win is, truly, magical."

Electra closed her book, heart swelling with pride and purpose. She was the fairy of energy now, and she had finally learned to embrace the beauty of her journey.
