When Morgana, Roxy, and Arcadia finally landed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you Morgana" Faragonda said.

"You are most welcome. Is it okay if I stay? Just in case my help is needed?"

"Of course" Faragonda replied.

Arcadia turned to Bloom who was holding Daphne.

Through scared tears Bloom pleaded to Arcadia "please save Daphne. Please Arcadia!"

"All right but I need Faragonda and, you too Morgana. I need the magic of a high class nymph, a Magix elder, and the queen of earth fairies to help me. That is us" Arcadia explained.

She took Faragonda's and Morgana's hands and they began reciting ancient magic. The Winx and Roxy stepped back and watched in awe as a huge ball of blue, white yellow light formed over Daphne. The light was so bright that even Bloom had to shield her eyes from it.

"Save crown princes Daphne!" Arcadia shouted at the ball of light.

Immediately, the enormous ball engulfed Daphne and picked her up from Bloom's arms. Light beams shot in and out of Daphne as everyone watched in awe, hoping Daphne would live.

Then the light stopped and Daphne was placed gently back into Bloom's arms.

"Did it work?" Stella whispered.

"Shh!" Musa snapped and they all stared intently at Daphne.

Slowly but surely Daphne began to breathe. Then her eyelids started to flutter. Daphne's eyes opened and she looked straight at Bloom.

"B-Bloom?" Daphne asked, weak.

"Daphne?!" Bloom said, looking down at her sister.

Daphne sat up and, on her knees, turned and hugged Bloom.

"Oh Daphne" Bloom cried into Daphne's shoulder.

"I love you so much Bloom" Daphne said and they hugged tighter.

"I was so afraid I was going to lose you Daphne" Bloom said through tears.

The Winx, Roxy, Morgana, Faragonda, and Arcadia all erupted into cheers.

"Woo hoo! Yay Daphne and Bloom!" they yelled.

Arcadia went to help Daphne up.

"Daphne" Arcadia began "your powers, they were incomplete. That is why this happened. I'm sorry Daphne but the Spriteix power is just too strong for you. You have been downgraded to Nymph of Sirenix again. Are you accepting of this?"

Daphne thought a moment, her arms linked in Bloom's.

"Well Daphne?" Bloom asked.

Daphne took a deep breath and said "yes I'm fine with it. As long as I can protect Bloom and Serina I'm fine."

Everyone smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

Bloom and Daphne hugged tighter and stayed in the hug for a long time.

"Thank you for not letting me go Bloom. I love you more than words can describe."

"I love you too Daphne. So much."
