"This dress is the unique creation from an unnamed designer from the Island of Tir Nan Og. Very little is known about the historical context in which it was made, however it was observed that the magical properties of the material..."

"With a palette like that one, it's no surprise the creator didn't make any other dresses, it's hideous!"

"Stella!" shushed Tecna as she typed down her notes.

Nebula had offered Daphne's class a visit to explore its newest discoveries. The Fairies of Tir Nan Og managed to gather old mystical items that disappeared from civilization when the Wizards captured them, preventing them the access to many treasures around the island.

Now that the Winx and the Earth Fairies had restored the island back to its original state and with the wizards away, a lot of progress went into rebuilding the old civilization of the Earth Fairy kingdom.

"I gotta say, there are a lot of old items here." said Musa. "I don't think I've seen any of these instruments anywhere, except maybe in the Golden Auditorium."

"Many gifts from Fairies across the Magic Universe were shared with the Earth Fairies, you girls are only scratching the surface here." said Daphne.

"I've never seen this breed of flower before." said Flora, looking at a pot that was exposed with the rest of the pieces. "Its pollen has an energizing effect, I feel like I could transform just by looking at it."

"It's a Morning Orchidée, legends say that it was one of Diana's first creations as Major Fairy of Nature. It is often believed she had created it during her childhood as a way to synchronize with nature, awaking whenever the sun rose over the island."

Bloom looked around, observing the other magical items exposed while the other Winx were listening to Daphne's explanations. It was almost hard to believe that two years ago, she and the Winx, along with their newest member Roxy, had defeated the Wizards and saved its inhabitants. They came so far since they were first years students at Alfea, having defeated dark magic users countless times across their lives as the protectors of the Magic Dimension.

After discovering her powers, she could've never guessed she would be the lost Princess of Domino, or that she'd one day save her planet, or even that she would give Daphne her body back.

Of course, after the first few times, it was hard to forget people would also target her for her powers as the Fairy of the Dragon Flame. The Trix, Darkar, Valtor, even her childhood friend Selina had turned on her to get that power. At least they made it up to each other in the end, she was relieved it didn't always end in a mess.

While walking around, she passed in front of a mirror. Curious, she looked at the inscriptions at the bottom of it, written in a language she couldn't understand.

"What is this?" she said, touching its surface. "Looks too long to be the name of the mirror. It must be a magical item, I wonder what it can do."

She contemplated the item, wondering what it could possibly do. Last time she saw a mirror like this one, it corrupted Stella into being a cruel and mean queen, though she didn't feel any dark magic emanating from it. It was bigger and rectangular, like a window or a door.

"Mirror, mirror on the wall, tell me who's the fairest of them all!" she joked. The mirror didn't react, her reflection was still there. "Oh well, guess it doesn't work that way. That or Stella would be jealous the mirror finds me prettier than her."

However, as she turned around, she didn't notice the sparkles of magic, her magic, moving in the mirror.

As she tried to get back to the exposition with the others, she saw a figure she recognized quite well.

"Selina!"

The green-haired goth-wearing girl turned around, looking away from a painting to see her old childhood friend.

"Bloom! Fancy seeing you here!"

"We have a class trip for our history of magic class. What about you, did you come to check the new exposition too?"

"Not really. I mean, I am looking at it, but actually, I'm here on Eldora's behalf. I need to find a really important magical item in this castle."

"Why? Is it dangerous?"

"It could be. Eldora told me legends about an item that came straight from the Legendarium and was lost on this island. She's worried it could be used for evil or cause chaos if it fell into the wrong hands." explained Selina.

"Guess we'll have to be careful. If it gets somehow taken to the Legendarium World, we won't be able to have it back now that the book is sealed, unless we want to risk a fight with the Trix inside."

"It shouldn't do anything of the sort. It's a magic mirror with the power of 'taking, to give.'"

"...what?"

"I know, legends are really cryptic, it's not that fun understanding what that means." said Selina, rolling her eyes. "That's what Eldora told me while studying all the information she could find about that mirror. It supposedly takes something from the user, to give it back. Or something else of the sort, I don't really understand how it works."

"Would that mirror, by any chance, look like that one?"

Bloom pointed to where she was a few seconds ago.

"Could be. We must be careful not to touch it." said Selina, getting near the object she has been looking for.

"I touched it before."

Selina gave Bloom a slightly scared look. "And... nothing happened?" Bloom shook her head no. "Hmm, then maybe it's not it."

"Can you understand what's written down there?" she said, pointing to the old writing under the mirror.

"Hmm, if I got Eldora to come, she could probably translate it. I still need to find the real mirror though. When given enough energy, it activates itself and pleases its user, but if no one here knows what they're doing with it, who knows what could come out of it?"

As she said that, they were soon followed by the rest of Bloom's class, along with the Winx.

"Hey! Nice mirror! Though it could use a better spot on the wall... Maybe at the entrance so that the visitors can redo their makeup, or maybe we could decorate it instead, I have some ideas we could-"

"Stella! We're there as visitors, not interior designers!" chided Musa.

"Oh, sorry!" apologized Stella, embarrassed. "I absolutely need to take a picture of us all together in front of this, let me just..."

She started looking through her pockets, her joyful face suddenly switching to a panicked one.

"Is everything alright, Stella?" asked Aisha.

"My phone! I think I left it in my room! I knew I should've checked my jacket twice, a true professional always makes sure her entire outfit is perfect, I can't believe I forgot it. Tecna, do you mind-"

"Don't worry, Stella." said Bloom, taking an orange phone out. "You left it on your desk when we left the class, I forgot to give it back to you. Sorry about that."

"Oh, thanks, Bloom! I don't know what I'd do without you." said Stella, taking her phone back and looking through her apps.

"Honestly?" teased Bloom. "I wish I knew too."

Her friends were amused, though it was shortly lived.

As soon as she said that, the mirror behind her glowed an intense blue, blinding her and the Winx.

"Wha- What's going on?!"

"The mirror is reacting!" said Selina. "Bloom, get away from-"

She didn't have the time to finish her sentence as blue glittering chains took a hold of Bloom, seizing her by the arms, chest and legs and dragging her to the mirror.

"BLOOM!"

"Help!" said Bloom.

As she tried to transform, she could feel the magic inside of her get pulled into the mirror as well. It was dragging her entirely, downright to her magical essence, she couldn't even make a spell. The last thing she saw before her whole world was blinded by light, was the faces of her horrified friends and sister, calling out her name before their voices faded away.

This idea has been inside my head for quite a while. Also, despite what's in the summary, it's not a love triangle. You'll see why :p
