Under the Sign of Winx

Lunchtime, Professor Avalon's office: Emalia

I was walking down the quiet vacant hallways of Alfea. I thought it would be a good idea to talk to Avalon during my free period of lunch. Accompanying me to Avalon's office is Serenity, who perched on my shoulder, swinging her legs with a while tilting her head side to side. Kekipi was resting in my arms as Kekipi's front legs were draped over my arm while my other arm held Kekipi's bottom. I can't lie, I feel a little uneasy speaking with Avalon after he gave Tecna, Aisha, Flora, Stella, and Musa an exam for attacking him. I knew he was going to play the excellent teacher card against the girls, but I did tell them not to attack him, but they were so worried about Bloom's safety.

"Emalia, what's wrong?" Serenity asked me, sounding worried. "I can feel your heart and mind being troubled! Are you getting sick again?"

Kekipi whined, putting his substantial feline eyes on me. Serenity flew off my shoulder and going to my forehead, feeling for an indication of my body getting hotter than usual.

"No, I'm fine guys, it's just-" Serenity cut me off like she was reading my mind.

"You're worried about Avalon, aren't you?" Serenity asked as she perched herself back on my shoulder.

"Yeah I mean he's an Alfea teacher, and all Alfea's teachers should be good, but I get this funny feeling about him,"

"If you feel funny about Avalon then ask Faragonda to help you find the balance you need,"

I sighed, holding my head down, getting lost in my thoughts. I wished it would be comfortable to ask Faragonda, but she's a busy Headmistress. She needs to tend to the first year fairies and other things. Plus, Headmistress has been discreet since we saved the Pixies from Lord Darkar. I'm sure Headmistress Faragonda was going to let me find balance on my own, which will have to seek someone out to help me find the balance.

"I wish it were that easy, Serenity, but you and I both know I'll have to find someone to help me on this journey to add on to your mediation treatment," I declared, picking my head up.

"Well, you don't have to feel uneasy about Avalon if he does anything funny to my bonded fairy, I'll make sure he knows of the Tranquil Pixie gone Unraveled!" Serenity flew off my shoulder and floated in front of my walkway, making punching and jabbing motions.

Kekipi roared, snipping the air. Kekipi was throwing a fit, which I can say is the cutest thing in the world along with Serenity! I couldn't help but giggle at my tiny protectors.

"Oh right, Kekipi is going to show him what a young cub can do!" Serenity rubbed Kekipi's cheeks as Kekipi purred loudly.

"Alright, protectors act natural and be your guys best behavior we are coming up to his door!" I giggled.

Serenity flew back to my shoulder, and Kekipi had a tight little look on his cute furry face. I got to Avalon's door and used my right arm to knock on the dark crimson hardwood door.

"Come in, the door is unlocked," Avalon spoke from the other side of the door.

I opened the door peeking my head inside the office. Avalon was sitting at his desk, pen in hand, as he was writing or grading a fairy's work or paperwork from Headmistress Faragonda. Avalon smiled when he tilted his head up, acknowledge my presence in his space. He waved me in like a happy teacher would as I closed the door behind myself.

"Emalia, nice to see you up and about!" Avalon set his pen down while his hands were entangled within each other while I took a seat before him. "How are you feeling by the way?"
