The second story in my series about the Winx Club. Summer vacation is over and the girls are back at school, but when a new princess comes to Alfea and kidnaps Flora, the girls are thrown into a new adventure. Lots of moments between Flora and Helia too

Hi everyone! I'm
back from my vacation, and I'm ready to continue with my series
about the Winx Club. Now remember, this is the second fic in my
series, so if you haven't read the first one, I have to seriously
recommend that you read it. I'm not going to be referring back to
it much, but it sets the stage for why all these things are going to
happen to the girls. You aren't going to understand the series if
you don't read the fics in order.

Anyway, this takes
place at the start of the Winx girls junior year. They've had a
relaxing, care free summer and are ready to start the new school year
with enthusiasm and energy. This fanfic and the ones following it
are all going to take place in the junior year, except for the very
last one, which takes place in the senior year. It's a lot to fit
in one year, I know, but bear with me. Also remember, that Baltor
has not shown up yet, nor will he until story #8, which is where I've
worked in Season 3. We will get to Season 3 soon, but for now,
everything's the same since Season 2, just like in the previous
fic.

Now, we're going to
start this story off with a prologue, and then we'll get to the
main story with the Winx girls. Trust me, you need the prologue if
you want to understand the story. This section is crucial! If
there's anything in it you don't understand, just tell me, and
I'll explain it in the next post as best I can. Happy reading!

Prologue: Princess
Lilia

A thousand years
ago, in the realm of the Lynphea, there lived a fairy princess named
Lilia. She was the most beautiful girl in the kingdom, with chestnut
brown hair, with lighter brown streaks in it that reached eight
inches below her shoulders. She had tanned skin and green eyes and
had the sweetest personality. One of her greatest qualities was that
she loved to help her kingdom. She helped anyone who needed it and
she never said no to anyone. Her people loved her because she
brought peace and prosperity to the kingdom, using her magic to do
many good deeds. She cast spells on the gardens to make all the
plants bloom and never wilt. The kingdom was in a golden age and all
her people yearned for the day when she would become queen and be
able to take full control of her magic. She would then be able to do
even more good deeds for her realm and would be a wise and just
ruler.

But even before
that, she learned that she was the heir to a great power, a power
that no other fairies in the kingdom were able to control. It had
entered her body once she was born and had waited for several
thousand years to come to her. It had slept for generations and
could only be controlled by the kingdom's royalty, but there had
been only one other that was worthy to handle it. Lilia was the next
one to use it and she knew that she would use it to do more for her
realm than she could ever imagine. However, the time to use it came
more quickly than she anticipated.

One day, dark
magic entered the land and evil forces swept over the kingdom. They
were led by a princess from Rampara, a neighboring realm. Her name
was Earshra, she was a witch, and she was evil through and through. She had waste length, black hair, pale skin, and a bad attitude. She
wanted to conquer all the realms and make the people her slaves. This shocked everyone, especially Lilia, for the people of Rampara
used to live in harmony with the people of the

Lynphea. There was
even a gate between the two realms, so that people could commute
between them as they liked.

Like Lynphea,
Rampara had a great power that could only be controlled by royalty. It also had only been controlled by one other member of the family,
in the days when the realm was good. But when Earshra was born, the
power entered her body and was made evil. A wave of darkness spread
over the kingdom, making her people slowly turn against their friends
on Lynphea. Finally, when Earshra was sixteen, she led the forces of
her realm against the neighboring one.

The forces of
Lynphea fought valiantly, but were no match for Rampara's infantry. They easily overpowered the people of Lynphea and it seemed that
victory was theirs.

Lilia had been
watching everything from the palace, from her bedroom, from the
towers, and what she saw scared her and angered her. She knew that
her people could still win, if they were given the motivation and the
help. She transformed into her Winx apparel, and flew out to help
them. She wore a pale pink dress with straps across her shoulders
and reached her knees with a deeper hue of pink at the top and
bottom. She wore a pair of pink boots and snow white wings appeared
on her back. She flew out of the palace and aided her soldiers
wherever she could. With her help, the armies of Lynphea fought back
and started to force the armies of Rampara back into their kingdom. But there were many more soldiers to face.

Earshra had been
enjoying her victory, but her attitude changed when she saw Lilia
coming forward to help her people. She knew that the only way she
could really take over this kingdom was to get rid of its princess. And from what she could see, she was going to have fun destroying the
princess in front of the very eyes of her people. She flew forward
and attacked Lilia. Everyone else who was fighting stopped to watch
the battle between the two princesses, knowing that the outcome of
that battle would also determine the outcome of the entire war.

Lilia and Earshra
sent their strongest attacks at each other, but they were very evenly
matched, so evenly matched that their attacks negated each other and
each sent the other sprawling backwards. The powers of their realm
had been made by the same family, so of course they had practically
the same energy. They could anticipate each other's moves and stop
each from making some key attacks that otherwise would have been very
effective.

"I will not be
made a fool of in front of my own soldiers," muttered Earshra. "I
must defeat this pitiful excuse for a creature."

With this behind
her, Earshra let out a blast of energy, which knocked Lilia to the
ground. Everyone thought for a moment that Earshra had won, for a
black light was glowing around her, radiating evil and darkness. It
filled them with remorse and despair, which was exactly what she
wanted. Make them more pathetic and dejected and they would be more
likely to serve her than to rebel against her.

But Lilia still
had power left and was not ready to quit. She thought of her
beautiful kingdom, how she loved it and all it's people, and how
she would be able to do even more for it once she became queen. That
was all she needed to gain more strength. She closed her eyes and
let her power flow uncontrolled throughout her body, feeling it
running like adrenaline through her veins. She did what hadn't
been done for several thousand years, and gathered it all into one
large attack, to be administered on her adversary. She began to glow
a bright pink glow, which made Earshra look over at her in surprise,
wondering what the heck was happening now.

When she saw that
Lilia's powers were strengthening again, she flew forward, ready to
unleash even more power on her. But she didn't get close enough. Lilia was ready to attack long before her opponent knew what was
going on. She raised her hands in front of her and a large blast of
energy was released from her open palms. She sent it to Earshra, and
the dark princess was not able to handle it all. It enveloped her in
a ball of light, and she was forced down to the ground, landing
sprawled on her back. Lilia had won.

Her powers were
not able to destroy Earshra entirely, and even if it was powerful
enough, she would not have done so. She was not a princess like this
girl was. She raised her hands again at her enemy, and Earshra's
powers collected into an energy ball, which drifted out of her body
and into Lilia's hand. This was not the witch's own magic, which
was impossible to take from her, but it was the full power of
Rampara, making Earshra just another witch without it. She then
pointed her free hand at Earshra and sent her back into her realm,
along with the rest of her soldiers. She then sealed the gate that
separated Lynphea from the Realm of Rampara, so nothing and no one
would be able to get in and out. She knew if the seal was ever
broken, evil from Rampara would be unleashed once more.

Lilia knew that
she could not control both her own power and the power of Rampara, so
she built a secret chamber underneath her palace, and sealed the
power away inside it. She then put all the best defense spells and
cloaking spells on it, so that no one would be able to go down there
and retrieve the magic inside it. She then flew to the highest point
in the realm and used her power, the grand power of Lynphea, to
restore the realm to its original beauty. She smiled in relief as
she saw the plants coming back to life and the people go back to
their normal lives.

As she got ready
for bed that night, she thought of something that had happened early
at the battle, something only she knew. Just as Earshra was being
sent back to her own realm, she had said something very quietly. Only Lilia had heard it. She had said, "you haven't seen the
last of me or my family. I may not live forever, but my power will. I know you will seal me in, and one of your descendants will have the
power to break that seal, and at the same time, one of my descendents
will be making her do it. Then, my heir will control this realm and
all others and there will be nothing anyone will be able to do." She laughed evilly just as the gate was closed and that was the last
Lilia ever saw of Earshra. When Lilia heard this, she was shocked at
first, but she knew that neither Earshra, nor anyone in her family
would ever be able to conquer all realms because good always
triumphed over evil.

Deciding she
needed more reassurance, Lilia got dressed, went upstairs to the
highest tower of the palace, and entered a special room, the Room of
Time. In the middle was a small pool of water that showed
everything, past, present and future. She looked into the past and
saw how

Lynphea was created and
how the power ruling it was established. She then saw how Rampara
was created and how the people there had always been friends with the
people of Lynphea, but turned on them because of Earshra. Something
had gone wrong with the power of Rampara, and she knew something was
going to have to be done about it, but it was not for her to do.

She then looked
into the future and saw that Earshra was indeed right. She saw one
of the future princesses of Lynphea, one that was exactly like
herself in looks and personality, except with longer hair and
slightly different Winx apparel. This girl did have the power to
unlock the gate to get into Rampara. She was unaware of her powers
and what she was capable of, but when the time was right, she would
find out. She also saw that this descendant may have the power to
release that evil, but she would also have the power to stop it once
and for all.

"I'm not
worried," said Lilia quietly. "I know that everyone in my family
will always be on the side of good. This realm will always be in
good hands. As I am the most powerful of all the princesses in this
family, this power I have must be saved for when the evil of Rampara
rears its ugly head again. When this princess is born, my powers,
which will have hid themselves for all those years, will enter into
her, and she will restore peace between the two realms, and she will
become a great queen of Lynphea."

Seven years later,
Lilia became queen and she ruled her realm with wisdom and kindness. After she died, her power hid itself away and slept for a thousand
years, waiting patiently for the next person to use it. Finally, a
thousand years after the great battle, the heiress to the throne that
would be able to break the seal around Rampara and control Lilia's
ancient power was born. Her parents knew at once it was her and were
determined to protect her at all costs. They named her Flora.

All right, the
prologue's over and we're back in the present day. So what did
you think, good opener? Like I said above, if there's something
you don't get, just tell me and I'll try and fix it. I hope you
enjoyed it and keep an eye for the next chapter. See you later!
