Nymphs of Magix/Comics

Pre-Comics
The first incarnation of the Guardian Nymphs gathered on Domino in the ancient times, when the Great Dragon, the origin force of the entire Magic Universe, was still unguarded, and came together to safely guard what has turned into one with up to five heads, and watch over his sleep, thus bringing about the new era and appointing Daphne's ancestor as the first Supreme Nymph ever. They would later go on to reign supreme over the fate of the Universe and its inhabitants, gaining an enormous fame and their own murals with Daphne's ancestor always in the middle, e.g. on the facade of the Temple in the square of Magix City on Magix, inside of the Museum of Magic with the Great Dragon, and within a special hall dedicated to each nymph that has graced their homeworld's history in Domino's royal palace. They subsequently went down in legend for their outstanding abilities (each being Keepers of the Dragon's Flame during their lifetimes) and so many feats they achieved in the field of the magical balance of the world. Their legacy would live on through many more generations of the Nymphs.

At some point, Egerya assumed the position of one of the Nine Nymphs of Magix and belonged to the second generation of the Guardian Nymphs. She explained that she had guarded the Five-Headed Great Dragon for many years, before any other nymphs were even born. One of her duties was assigning the younger nymphs to missions.

Season 7
Sensing the increasing negative energy in the Great Dragon, Tetis and Daphne try to keep the Dragon under control. Tetis assumes she will be strong enough to control it by harnessing its power. This is against the rules and rightfully so, because she could not control it, the Dragon's power was far too immense and becomes corrupted. This act exhausts Tetis and Daphne too from trying to nullify the negative energy. The Dragon begins waking up. The situation becomes dire because Princess Bloom, the current Keeper of the Dragon's Flame, enters the Great Dragon's lair and as a result of the tempering, she is extremely volatile and radiating so much negative energy that it awakens the Dragon. Dooming them all.

Tetis is blaming herself and Princess Bloom is about to unleash her fury onto her until the other Winx snap her out of it. The Winx and Daphne converge their powers to effectively nullify the negative energy surrounding the Great Dragon who then returns to its deep slumber.

After that was dealt with, she readies herself for her punishment only for Daphne to refuse to give it to her, reasoning that Tetis knows what she had done wrong and will become an even better, more responsible guardian. Tetis is happy and relieved that her superior was understanding.

In Domino Palace, the Winx and Daphne arrive at a room Daphne wants to show the Winx. Inside are the statues of the first nine Nymphs of Magix, including Daphne's ancestor. All hold in their hands a magic spark which symbolizes their power. Bloom tells Stella that their family has always revered fire. Musa asks why the flame held by one statue is burning out, and the woman the statue depicts enters the room and says it is because the magic energy of her family is drying up.

The woman introduces herself as Egerya and says that she belongs to the second generation of the Guardian Nymphs. She explains that she guarded the Five-Headed Great Dragon for many years, before any other nymphs were even born. She says that her duty is assigning the younger nymphs to missions. She has gathered several nymphs to the palace and says the most decent nymph will take her place.

Egerya says that the possibility is equal and to find out which is the most worthy to take her post, she offers the nymphs to take a test. On the way to the nymphs’ test, Bloom tells them that the Great Dragon took its rest underneath Domino after the formation of the Magic Dimension, and Aisha tells them that only one of them will join the other Guardian Nymphs and it is up to them to watch over his sleep. Bloom says that for their first test they must master the Dragon's Flame. In front of the palace, Musa congratulates Marlene and Janice for passing the first test. Tecna says she will now check their telekinesis abilities. Marlene says luck will be on her side and Janice says they will see after the next test. At a volcano, Flora tells the nymphs that they must retrieve a rare flower that grows atop the volcano, and Stella adds that they must not wake up the dragon.

Atop the mountain, Janice thanks Marlene for coming to the rescue and tells her that she is the best of the best. Diane says that Marlene should have the flower as she was the one who found it. Marlene says she feels guilty as she considered not coming back, but Janice consoles her by saying that she had come back and she was a real friend. Marlene says she does not feel she is worthy to take Egerya's place. Egerya arrives and says that they must decide who receives the flower. Janice and Diane argue that it is too beautiful to pick. Egerya says that during the last test they demonstrated courage, wisdom, nobility, and kindness. Marlene and Janice wonder who then take Egerya's place, and Egerya declares all three of them Guardian Nymphs of Domino.
