Winx Club: Guardians of the Dragon Flames

The First Charmix

At Alfea, Faragonda stood in her office thinking as she remembered what she said to the Pixies.

[Flashback]

"These must remain a secret." Faragonda said, placing four pieces in front of the Pixies. "You know what to do."

"These maybe our best hope after all." Faragonda said to herself as someone knocked on her door. "Come in."

"Good morning, Miss Faragonda." said Bloom and Dawn as they and the others walked in. "You wanted to see us?"

"Yes, we need to talk." she said, motioning them to come in. "Well, Winx, we've had a very difficult time lately. Haven't we?"

"That's an understatement if I ever heard one." said Stella.

"As you all know, Lord Darkar already has three pieces of the codex." explained Faragonda. "Now, if he obtains the fourth one, his magical powers will be impossible to beat."

"Oh, that'd be so awful." said Flora.

"'Oh, that'd be so awful'." Stella mimicked Flora. "Then do something about it instead of standing there, complaining."

"You're the one who's all talk, Stella." said Musa.

"Like you could do anything against the Trix." snapped Stella.

"As long as you fairies remain quarrelsome and divided, you are useless against the struggle against Lord Darkar." said Faragonda. "In light of the situation, I feel the need to take drastic action."

"Are you sure you don't mind my coming uninvited?" Avalon asked Palladium.

"Of course not, Avalon." said Palladium. "It's a pleasure. Besides, four eyes are better than two when looking for magic. Oh, can it be? Yes, it's a red glided Venus fly orchid. Very effective in hypnosis spells."

"Hmm. You don't say." said Avalon. As Palladium reaches down towards the orchid, it snaps at him.

"My....what a lively one." Palladium said. "But no matter....it will soon be in my basket."

"Uh....I'll just go look around over there." said Avalon.

"Sure." said Palladium. "Now, let's see your petals."

"I'll see you later." said Avalon, walking further away from Palladium and towards an orchid. "What have we here?" The flower before him decided to spit at the man, spreading its flower germs on him. "My eyes! My eyes! I can't see! I can't....." Avalon fell to the ground after what the flower did, smirking and laughing a bit.

"Well then, what do you have in mind?" asked Bloom.

"I'm sending you on a vacation." Faragonda tells them.

"What? Huh?"

"Excuse me, but it doesn't seem logical to take a vacation at such a critical time." said Tecna.

"On the contrary." said Faragonda. "A vacation is just what you need. Now listen carefully.....the wildlands are three habitats in one. Up in the mountains, you'll find a winter paradise with excellent skiing facilities while the green wildland desert and the savannah region host a wide variety of animals and exotic plants."

"Oh, look at how beautiful that one is." Flora commented on the plants.

"The mountains would be great for meditating." said Dawn.

"Heh!" Palladium said to the plant. "Didn't I say you'd end up in my basket? Avalon?! I've got all that I need." Palladium looks around, wondering where Avalon could have gone until he finds him on the ground. "Oh, my word. Avalon."
