Winx Club: Guardians of the Dragon Flames

The Spies in the Shadows

The next morning at Alfea, Dawn stood before Faragonda's office, knowing what she was going to do. Taking a deep breath, she knocks on the door. "Yes?" Faragonda asked and the door opens.

"Miss Faragonda?" Dawn asked.

"Dawn?" she questioned, seeing the look on the youngest twin's face.

"I....I need to talk to you about something. It's really important." said Dawn.

"Please come in." said Faragonda, motioning for her to come in. Dawn walks in and sits before the Alfea headmistress.

"Now....what seems to be troubling you?" she asked.

"It's about Bloom and Professor Avalon." said Dawn, looking at her hands. "Something feels off about him."

"Really?" questioned Faragonda.

"Yes. While I appreciate what he's doing and all....helping Bloom and I with finding out our birth parents, but something feels really off about him." Dawn tells her with a hint of unsteadiness in her voice.

"What do you mean by 'off'? Is there something specific?" asked Faragonda, leaning in slightly.

"It's hard to explain. It's like... he's not the real Avalon. I can't shake the feeling that he's not being completely honest with us." Dawn said, looking up at the headmistress.

"You mean his demeanor? Or is it something deeper?" inquired Faragonda.

"Both. I feel like there's a part of him that's hidden." Dawn told Faragonda. "I think he's keeping something from all of us."

"And why do you think that is? What could he possibly have to hide?" she asked.

"It may come out as wrong when I say this, but I think that the man who is teaching here at Alfea is using 'Avalon' as a disguise." Dawn explained.

"That's not possible, Dawn." said Faragonda. "Avalon is a highly respected figure in the magical community."

"But think about it! His lessons, his methods—they just don't add up. I've seen Darkar's influence firsthand, and I'm sensing that there's something dark inside." said Dawn. "Whoever he is, I think it's someone who is working for Darkar or is probably Darkar himself."

"I understand your concern, but we cannot jump to conclusions without evidence. Accusations like this could cause chaos in the school." Faragonda said, crossing her arms.

"Chaos? Miss Faragonda, the chaos is already here!" exclaimed Dawn. "That man has spent more time with me and Bloom, trying to help us figure out our past more than he does trying to help the other students who actually need it. He's up to something."

"I appreciate your vigilance, Dawn, but we need to gather facts. If there's any truth in your claims, we'll need solid proof before confronting him." Faragonda said in a calm tone.

"Then answer me this: If Bloom was under a spell that could have been placed by Avalon, how would that affect the two of us as twin sisters?" Dawn inquired Faragonda.

"That's a complex question, Dawn. If Bloom is indeed under a spell, it could create a barrier between you both—something that distorts or amplifies your natural connection." said Faragonda, thoughtfully.

"But we're twins, Faragonda. Bloom and I share a bond that goes deeper than most friendships. I can feel her emotions, even from a distance. It's why our style in clothing and our personalities are so different; it's like we complete each other." Dawn said, crossing her arms.

"I understand. Twins often share a unique energy that allows them to resonate with one another." Faragonda nodded. "You have a unique connection, a blend of similarities and differences. But if Bloom were under a spell, that connection might be altered. It could create a rift, or it might amplify your bond in surprising ways." Dawn stands up and leaves Faragonda's office.
