Darcy

Our lives changed in an instant. That I can honestly say, and I think my sisters feel the same way. My name is Darcy, witch of illusions and darkness. As for my two sisters, their names are Icy and Stormy. You can guess what their powers are hence their names.

The change happened a month ago.

Me, Icy, and Stormy-the Trix-were trapped in Limbo, which is a dimension outside of time, for trying to harness all the power of the Wild Magic. Then one day, after who knows how long, we somehow got out of that prison. Valtor-a somewhat powerful wizard who, I hate to admit this, the three of us had once liked-had freed us from Limbo. He had wanted us to help him take control of the Wishing Star, and if we didn't we'd be sent back.

So we had helped him find the seven Prime Stars and return them to him. The three of us continually fought against seven fairies called the Winx to retrieve the stars. And in the end, each side had three of them. The last star was on a deserted planet that was supposedly frozen in ice, Icy's old home before Magix.

But it's not my story to tell.

So when me, Icy, and Stormy had gotten the final star-which freed us from Valtor's mark thankfully-we make a choice to go to Valtor and to take his half of the Prime Stars and gain the power that they hold. But later, on when I and my sisters had to make a choice between giving Valtor the star so he could destroy the Magic Dimension, keeping it for the power, or giving it to the Winx to save the universe and to get a chance to make up for the past mistakes, we chose giving it to the seven fairies.

They restored all the planets, stars, et cetera et cetera as they always do. But the three of us, we knew how hard it would be to start over in our lives and make up for the things we had done, so we decided to just wait before we would do that and to let the whole situation blow over-at least for a while.

But...we had a mission of our own to complete.


The three of us are in Magix forest. Far away from any of the schools. The specific spot in the forest would be a dark clearing close to Black Mud Swamp. Very little light shone through the tall trees, which is my ideal. In the center of the clearing there's a small pond-not the cleanest-that is bordered by very specifically shaped rocks as if the pond wasn't made by just nature.

Icy, Stormy, and I were just standing/sitting around the pond discussing Icy's latest life crisis. Even though she had chosen the side of good, Icy still has the same strong, witch-like determination she always had. This means that whatever plan she comes up with, we'll have to let her go it alone or trail along with her to make sure she doesn't get herself hurt. Not to be rude or anything, but Icy can be seriously dense sometimes.

"But it didn't even work last time. Even the Prime Star didn't do a thing, so what's the point of going back there again?" Stormy questioned plainly, talking to the ice witch whose back was turned.

The witch of being brutally honest strikes again.

"Because Stormy, ever since that day I have been strengthening my magic day in and day out and I didn't do it for it to not work. I have to free Sapphire," Icy said sternly as she turned to face us.

I'm sorry Icy, but if it didn't work one month ago then it probably won't work this time, I thought in my head.

"Icy...you and I both know that it may not work. It's obviously a very hard spell to undo. Maybe-and I'm not fond of this idea either-Stormy should just go to Alfea, and ask the Winx if they can possibly help us," I suggested, looking towards Icy.

"And why am I the one that has to go ask fairies for help again?" Stormy questioned, obviously not liking the idea, as she turned towards me.

"Because you are the only one who didn't make the life of the fairy that could potentially help us completely horrible," I answered plainly, turning to Stormy, the guilt of the past washing over me slightly. I then felt a larger wave of guilt come from behind me. "Sorry Ice," I said, turning to her. "But..maybe Kat can potentially help us save-," I started.

"No," Icy interrupted, her tone not open for discussion. "After all that we had done….we are not in a position to ask the Winx for help. I'm going back to Diamond," she stated plainly, her face emotionless but still determined.

"And we're coming with you," I said calmly, putting my hand on Icy's shoulder. Her eyes widened slightly, then she smiled I think. It was hard to tell.

"Yeah," Stormy agreed as she walked over to where we were. I turned to face her. "I guess, we're in this together," she finished. I smirked slightly, as Stormy is not usually the sentimental type.

Icy then put her hand out in front of her without hesitation. A swirling white and light blue portal appeared in front of us. Then the three of us walked in, and became surrounded by bright, light.

There was no turning back. And when I look back on this moment, I wish I had just stayed in the shadows.


Soon the three of us had emerged from the endless abyss of light-ugh-and we were on Diamond once more. We were surrounded by nothing except ice, ice, and more ice. A vague, snow-field wind blew around us. Making it even colder than it is in reality. But the three of us don't mind it much. Icy for obvious reasons. Stormy and I because we are around her constantly. In the distance, there was a large tree frozen completely in ice as well as several ice-bird totems.

The three of us were in our witch forms, as we didn't know what we would find here. Whether 'it' would be dangerous or not.

"Let's go find my sister," Icy said with sheer determination as she started walking towards the large tree. I could tell that she clearly didn't like being here, but I know her too well to know that she can deal. Stormy and I started to walk after her.

We were quite close to the tree when the cold wind increased its speed for a millisecond. Icy and Stormy likely didn't feel it, but I tend to notice things that they can't. I paused for a second as the two of them kept walking. There was something very strange about the energy around here. There wasn't just ice magic as we initially felt when we first came here. I felt very strong amounts of black magic.

"Trix, something is wrong," I stated plainly, staring in the distance before, turning to Icy and Stormy as they stopped walking and turned to face me. They paused for a second.

"Come on there's nothing there Darcy. We're the only ones here on this wasteland of a planet," Stormy said plainly, her tone saying that she was thinking that I am going crazy. Even after all these years she still doesn't trust me.

Go figure.

I rolled my eyes.

Icy gave Stormy a look that likely meant she wasn't pleased with having her old home being called a 'wasteland' before her eyes widened. "Wait..something is wrong here. The feeling in the air….I-!" She started, realizing something, as I felt a large wave of fear coming from her. Then the wind speed picked up greatly. The snow caught in it became like tiny shards of glass, rough against our skin.

I crossed and raised my arms over my face and turned away from the wind. The snowstorm didn't seem normal as far as I know. It seems to be encircling and targeting us. Even Icy seemed to have trouble with holding up against it. The amount of dark magic in the area increased greatly.

"I know you're there!" Icy called out angrily into the snowy abyss that seemed empty. "Come out and fight!" I looked at the ice witch slightly confused, but I could trust her on what she said.

We're not the only ones here. And Icy knows who we're dealing with.

The wind picked up even faster, howling, we started to have trouble keeping our bodies steady and from sliding from place to place. "Coward!" Stormy yelled as she shot a dark pink bolt of lightning into the empty space. Then we started to hear a vague rumble in the sky. A large bolt of lightning, resembling Stormy's, came down from the sky and struck the ground a short bit away in front of us.

"Oh...I'm the coward?" An echoed voice said calmly, and it seemed to not have a distinct source. Then, as the lightning and wind disappeared, where it struck was now-what I assumed to be-a witch. She had red and purple hair, her eyes covered, as well as scar-like markings on her cheeks and a decorated skull over her hair. The witch also held a wood staff-like item.

I glared at the witch and recoiled slightly, but not noticeable. I personally wasn't scared. But from the feeling of fear and unease I was getting from Icy and the amount of black physic magic that was radiating off her….I had a bad feeling.

"I'm not the one who had watched my kingdom crumble without doing a thing," The witch said in a calm tone. "Isn't that right, princess of Diamond?" She rhetorically questioned, her two statements clearly directed at Icy.

It then clicked in my head that we were facing the witch who had destroyed Icy's home. The Shaman Witch. I glanced behind me at Icy and Stormy, the latter had just come to the same realization that I did.

"Shaman Witch!" Icy said angrily as she took a few steps forward. "You may have destroyed this place in the past, but here and now I will defeat you!"

"And we'll help you do it," I plainly spoke to Icy. Stormy then walked up to where the two of us are and the three of us gave each other a knowing look.

"You really think you three can defeat me? You underestimate my power!" The Shaman Witch exclaimed as she levitated up in the air slightly, purple sparks flying from her hands but were far off from reaching us.

But then something happened that had never happened to me before. Physic magic was being used against me. I tried to fight against it, but for some reason, it didn't do anything.

My mind, thoughts, and regrets we're going on against me. I could feel as if I was losing touch with reality. I groaned in pain softly, holding my right hand to my head as I fell onto my knees. I clenched my eyes shut.

This has never happened to me before! Why was it suddenly happening now! I have to fight through it, come on! I can't be affected by psychic magic! I struggled to get out, but it was like my own thoughts were forming a cage around me.

I saw it all clearly.

I saw the me of the past.

The people I've manipulated.

Riven….

The people I hurt.

Musa…..Kat…..

All the bad things I had done. All the pain and despair I had caused.

The moments I was at my worst. I felt a tear fall slowly from the corner of my eye and down my cheek. Soon I felt myself start to shake, sobbing. This is who I am, I cannot change it! I want to try, but it will never happen! I can't undo the things I have done!

I cannot be seen in any other way than what I've done!


Kat

Our lives changed in an instant. That I can say without hesitation. And I think the Winx feel the same way. My name is Kat, the fairy of dark arts.

Three months ago, when Valtor almost had his clutches on the last Prime Star, we had some unlikely help. The Trix, three witches with who I have clashed against more than once, had chosen the side of good and gave the Winx and me the last star. After Valtor was defeated everything went back to normal.

I'm at Alfea at the moment. The school year is over, the Winx had gone back to their planets to live out their duties as guardian fairies.

But I don't have a kingdom to protect.

Alfea is empty at the moment except for the teachers and a few students. I am packing my things in my suitcase that is resting on my bed. Luna was leaping around the room, taking little naps in between as she marvelled at the unusual silence of the dorm. My plan for the summer is to go back to Earth until the next school year starts, to see my family again and live a normal-ish life for a few months.

I walked to my cupboard and grabbed the last few items of clothing and put them into my suitcase. I sat down on my bed and glanced at Luna-who was playing with a piece of lint-and smiled softly.

Things have been moving slowly lately. Valtor has been defeated so we can resume our normal lives.

Somewhat.

But at the back of my head, the same question keeps nagging over and over.

Where had the Trix gone?

After the three witches had helped us defeat Valtor they just….disappeared. They are still out there, I can feel it clearly. Though, I still wonder where they had gone. It's understandable that they would have hidden for a while.

But it's been three months.

Even for them, that's a while to stay hidden. I haven't tried yet to reach out telepathically to Darcy, for the sake that she-or Icy and Stormy-might not want to talk. I very easily could've just called them, but... I don't know. It's just easier and less awkward to use telepathy. Should I though…..

Kat, I told myself. You've given them enough time.

If they haven't shown themself yet….something must be wrong. I sighed slightly. The Trix and I did not get along well in the past, and-sadly-I still haven't been able to completely let go of the past and move on.

Fine then. Let's just get this quick and over with. I closed my eyes and shut out my surroundings. I focused and reached out for Darcy's physic energy. Trying to pick up on any mental waves.

This is who I am, I cannot change it! Darcy thought. I grunted slightly and held my left palm to my forehead. Something is going on, something not normal.

I want to try, but it will never happen! I can't undo the things I have done!

What is going on?! I reached out further and I could feel the witch's regrets and guilt clearly pounding. But...it's like it's being forced on her. Was this happening to Icy and Stormy as well?

I cannot be seen in any other way than what I've done! The witch thought. I closed my eyes tighter and focused my magic even more. I have no idea what is happening, but maybe with my physic link, I can at least try to break her out of the spell.

Darcy! I thought, calling out. Come on, you are not who you were!

I felt the grip on the mind spell loosen, but only very slightly

Kat? How….Darcy thought before the spell took over again. I gasped slightly and fell down onto my knees, still holding my head. As I kept going deeper and deeper into the spell I started to feel how much pain she was in. I could feel the psychic connection weakening, someone was trying to block me out of the witch's mind! I only have a few seconds left…!

Wake up! I know you can break out of the spell! You are-!

Then the connection broke.
