On Domino:
Bloom, short of anything to panic, started to run around in the room. Her Sky was taken, prisoner. HER Sky was in danger. Stella looked up from the phone at Bloom.
"Oh NO! I know what you are thinking. You. Are. Not. Going after him alone. You have barely any power left in you." Stella nearly screamed at her. Her fear that Bloom's irrationality would lead to her death. Diaspro was trained as a royalty and in Bloom state, would win if they were to fight.
"But what will I do then? Sit here while she does god now what to him?" Bloom said back angrily. Did they not understand that she had to get him out now!
"You cannot help him if you are dead!" Stella screamed back, now both of them was angry.
"I won't get caught. And besides, he might as well be dead if I don't go" Bloom said back in an angry voice. They stared at one and another. The rest of the Winx does not really know what to do.
"The chances of you getting back is less than 21.345%," Tecna said while calculating on her phone. "It's too risky. The boys should get here within in a few hours. We can all together talk this over when they get here and decide on how we are going to handle this." She continued. Bloom looking mad at them. She was too tired and too worried to wait. God knows what Diaspro could do while she had Sky.
"Yeah, Tecna is right. It's better to wait until the boys get here, we are stronger as a team. Okay, Bloom. Do you understand?" Flora asked her. Bloom nodded. They had a Bloom did not have the luxury of the time.
"You can rest until they come, sleeping will make time go faster," Aisha said. Bloom nodded again. The Winx left Bloom in her room.
"Make sure a guard is standing at the door. She cannot fly from here but she might try to make a run for it." Stella said to a servant.
"Aren't we treating her as a prisoner now Stella?" Flora asked.
"Yes… in a little bit. But she is so tired, she will make a stupid decision and get herself killed if we don't" Stella said while they all walked away from Bloom's bedroom.
Bloom managed to sleep for an hour, but a nightmare awakened her in a rush. Her body was covered in sweat. She tried to calm herself down while standing out on her balcony. Looking down, she did not see any traces of the Winx nor the boys. They were not here yet then. She started to feel the familiar feeling of panic again. She could not await her while Sky might be in pain. He needed her and she needed him. She had promised to come back for him. A promise she would keep. But how? She went back into her room and looked around. She could use a teleportation powder that she had found while roaming the palace in boredom. But she did not know how to use it nor if it actually would move her from one planet to another. Right now she needed Tecna. She is so good at looking things up. Or Flora, she is so knowing about too many different things. Bloom sight and sat down on her bed. Would she give it a chance and risk ending up in a weird place? Was it worth it?
For Sky… yes, it was.
It was a relatively heavy bag that was made of purple velvet fabric and was about the size of her hand. When she thought about how much powder she would need, a handful was her first thought. She took the grey powder out of the back, threw it over herself and thought about the place in the forest she had meet Sky.
Eraklyon, a few hours after the ruling of the court
Diaspro sat in her room, looking out on the yard. She was wondering what Sky was thinking. Her world was so narrow around him and them. Her life was built on what was to come to be a fantasy. She was desperate for her life to follow the path and become what it was meant to be. A future as a good, loving, responsible queen and wife to Sky. Her room was her room, not their room. another fact that put them at a worlds lengths apart. She signed and heard another "pop". Valtor was here. He had left her after the court ruling.
"Busy thoughts?" Valtor asked. Nice manners and thoughtfully at what he was saying.
"Just life not getting that way I wanted". Diaspro answered. Valtor dismissed her comment and went on to talk to her on a very special subject.
"Life never gets the way we want, but we can shape it to our best. But for now, let's focus on something a little easier." Diaspro looked at him, curious to want he was talking about. Valtor continued.
"You, as a royalty brought up, must have learned a great deal about other kingdoms?" Valtor asked.
"Naturally" Diaspro answered.
"What do you know about Solaria?" Valtor asked. Diaspro though for a second and then answered.
"The planet had three individual mini-suns that brings great power to the planet. The king and queen are divorced and they have one daughter. Stella."
"Good. But more specifically, how do the powers of the suns work?" Valtor continued.
"The three suns are special due to the fact that they orbit around Solaria. In Solaria, the day is the brightest and bring happiness and joy. If the Suns are to die, the planet would suffer and turn into darkness and fear. The people would suffer and probably die eventually." Diaspro said.
Valtor looked at her. She had confirmed his knowledge about the suns. BUT. there was information he knew that she did not.
"I want you to start a war with Solaria," Valtor said with a dark voice.
"What?…" Diaspro said, thinking that he was joking with her.'
"The king is a failure and has chosen a new wife that will bring the planet down. You have to act fast. Either he agrees to not marry his new fiance or you will have to take the planet by force."
"Have you lost your mind completely? Diaspro said with a stern voice, she was not stupid.
"Have you? Don't you care for the planet? have you forgotten what I have done for you?" Valtor said with an angry voice, not linking her response. Diaspro was taken back by this. No, she had not forgotten what he had done for her.
"I will give you a few days to think this over my dear queen," Valtor said and disappeared in a cloud of dark purple smoke.
Bloom arrived at Eraklyon in the woods by nightfall. She had successfully made it alive to the planet. She had the bad of transportation power in her pocket for her and Sky's escape. She walked fast but quietly through the castle and into the buildings lower part. Sky had given her a full tour of the castle so she knew where the prison cells were. It took her nearly an hour to get there in the night but eventually, she was there. She crawled past a few guards and into the cells and started to look through the iron bars in order to see Sky.
"Sky?" Bloom whispered into a dark cell.
"BLOOM!" a loud whispering came back and two sweaty hands grabbed her through the small window with steel bars. Sky was looking at her with relieved eyes. "How did you get in her? Never mind, you have to leave before they find you!" Sky spoke
"Not without you my love," Bloom spoke back to him. She took her hands back, put them towards her mouth. She took a large breath and blew on them. They started to glow red. She put them towards the lock of the cell and melted away the metal so the door could open. It took so much to do so little. She nearly fell, but Sky manages to grab her before she hit the floor. He put her closer towards his body and held her there until he knew she could stand on her legs without falling.
"We need to get out of here now," Sky said to her and Bloom nodded. She followed him as he knew the place better than anyone. He followed her up towards a hidden path that led them out of the castle and towards the woods. Maybe they would have succeeded if not a vicious queen had looked out of her window and had seen a red streak of hair. They had gotten into the wood when Bloom suddenly had fallen towards the grassy floor of the earth. Sky turned around and saw a purple glowing ring around Bloom's leg. She was here. Sky looked around while he was helping Bloom up on her feet. He knew where he ring had come from. Bloom got up and they started to run towards the darker trees in hope that she would not see them. But they did not get far. They suddenly found themselves standing at the end of the ground and looking down at the dark water, belonging to the dangerous river Callos. They stopped, realising that they had painted them selfs into a corner.
"And WHAT are you doing?" Diaspro's voice echoed from behind them. Shy and Bloom turned around. She was standing there, looking furious. No guards, no one to help her, just her and the darkness of the night.
"You are insane to think that I wouldn't get him out of there? What wife puts her husband in a jail cell?" Bloom said in a strong voice to her. Diaspro was not the only one that was furious. If Bloom had the strength, she would turn her into a pile of ashes.
"The one that has a cheating husband, the one that has her heart broken," Diaspro answered.
"You poisoned him to love you, don't you realise how wrong that is?" Bloom said back. Sky had, while the two women screamed at one another, positioned himself between Bloom and Diaspro.
"You were the one that hexed him first" Diaspro screamed. Bloom remained silent. She had no idea what she was talking about. Sky snapped.
"She never hexed me. If you are looking for a reason for our breakup, don't look at Bloom. Don't blame hexes or spells at her. It had nothing to do with it. I just did not love you, and I was not going to marry a woman I did not love." Sky said, now shielding Bloom with his body completely. Diaspro stood there silent for one second. It was like a reality had hit her. It had slapped her right where it had hurt the most. Bloom looked out from behind Sky, she saw the Queen standing there, looking at Sky.
"I understand if you believed something else, but you must face the reality of the situation Diaspro. Otherwise, you'll never get happy." Bloom said in a tender voice to her while slowly walking towards her. Diaspro just looked right at her. Not Bloom nor Sky had a chance to see what was happening before it was done. Diaspro raised her hand in a jester to take Bloom's. But in a split of a second, a glowing purple ball hit Bloom so hard that she was flying back towards the cliff. She stumbles over the age and Bloom felt her body going weightless as she fell down. Something grabbed her hand. The gravity took a hold on her in a millisecond. She looked up and saw Sky leaning over the edge of the cliff, holding her hand. He had a panicked look on his face. Bloom, still not grasping the situation, had time to wonder why he had tears in his eyes, why his lips were moving but no sound coming out from them. She then looked down, she just saw darkness now, she thought for a second that she might be dreaming.
Sky was trying to pull her up, she felt his hand get sweaty from the effort. She looked at him again and felt her hand slipping out from his.
"S-Sky?" Bloom said, then the gravity pulled her down towards the darkness.
