Wizards of the Black Circle/Comics

Season 4
The Wizards of the Black Circle make their debut in Issue 68: Roxy the Seventh Fairy in a series of flashbacks caused by Roxy and the Winx as they inform to the Fortress of Light Council of the events that had occurred on Earth.

Once Bloom is finally given the transmitter and activates the screen behind her, she starts the whole thing off by telling them that everything started at Alfea, where everyone was convinced that she was the last fairy from Earth. It was then that the Wizards of the Black Circle arrived at Alfea and attacked as they searched for Bloom. When they tried to take something from Bloom, something went wrong that caused them to leave before anyone could stop them.

It turned out that whatever went wrong happened because Bloom was not born on Earth; she was the Princess of Domino who was sent to Earth and adopted there. Thanks to this mistake on the Wizards' part, the Winx were sent to the Tree of Life to use its Earth branch to find the last true Earth Fairy. Upon finding one tiny leaf on the Earth branch of the Tree of Life, the Winx headed to Earth to find this last fairy and protect her from the Wizards of the Black Circle, who planned on stripping her of her wings and imprisoning her just as they did with all the other Earth Fairies. When the transmitter is passed over to Stella, she reveals that the Wizards had been waiting for the Winx to seek out Roxy for them and, when they finally met up with her, the Wizards ambushed and tried to kidnap her. Roxy was left helpless thanks to not knowing how to control her powers and the Winx could not do anything since their powers did not work on the Wizards. It was thanks to the Specialists and Nabu intervening along with Roxy's dog, Artu, that they were able to beat the Wizards back, keeping Roxy safe for another day.

When Stella starts to go off-topic trying to explain with the Specialists and Nabu were around, Givelian leaps from his seat, demanding that she continue telling them about the Wizards of the Black Circle, as he has begun to believe that they were never as terrible as they kept saying.

Stella insists that they were a very powerful band of wizards and, when she passes the transmitter over to Flora, she reveals that, by the time they began using their new Believix powers to help the Earthlings regain their faith in magic, the Wizards began to move again upon realizing that they were on the verge of losing everything.

For their next move, the Wizards kidnapped Roxy and her father, Klaus but, thanks to the combined efforts of Nabu, the Specialists, and the Winx after unlocking her own fairy form, the Wizards were forced to flee yet again.

The Wizards are not mentioned again until Tecna passes over the transmitter to Roxy to end off the whole presentation. Starting from Diana's defeat, Roxy proclaims that the Wizards had become fearful of the Earth Fairies and their Age of Vengeance against both them and the humans. It got to the point where the even went to the Winx seeking protection from the Earth Fairies, which they accepted despite everything they put them through, so long as they could get a proper trial.

Unbeknownst to them, the Wizards had orchestrated one last-ditch on both the Winx and the Earth Fairies by setting up a deadly trap just before their trial. Just when everyone was about to be sucked into the chasm of nothingness the remaining Wizards had opened up (Duman having perished by Nabu's hand), Nabu sacrificed himself to close the chasm to save everyone. As Aisha mourned the loss of her fiancé and vowed to avenge him, the Wizards fled into the Omega Dimension to organize one last counterattack against the Fairies. At the very bottom of Omega, the Wizards were confronted by Nebula, but Ogron was able to injure her during the fight. Unfortunately for them, the Winx were able to step in just in time to join the fight, where their Convergence against the remaining Wizards was able to defeat them. Having been frozen and falling into the deepest abyss within Omega, the war was finally over—the Wizards had lost.

The three remaining Wizards are not seen again until Issue 85 within Bloom's nightmare. Here, Bloom finds herself within a cave and wanders through it until she stumbles across Ogron, Anagan and Gantlos still frozen in large slabs of ice. As Bloom tries to make sense of her surroundings, Ogron's eyes pop open and startle Bloom. She then notices that the ice that the Wizards are encased in are being melted by an ink-like ooze, and runs off to notify somebody. It is then that she is suddenly stopped by Flora, who grabs hold of her wrist and wakes her from the dream. A short while later, Bloom tells the rest of the Winx of her nightmare, fearing that it may be have been more than just a dream as she just cannot settle down. That is when Roxy also confesses to having bad dreams, with her more recent one including the Frutti Music Bar burning down as a maniacal laugh rings out as her father called for help. After being asked and giving it enough thought, Roxy recognizes the laugh as Ogron's. This causes Bloom to suspect that both hers and Roxy's nightmares may be premonitions or short glimpses into a plot being set in motion by the Wizards in secret. Though Aisha is certain that the Wizards should be frozen forever within the deepest reaches of the Omega Dimension, the Winx still head for the Headmistress' office to consult Faragonda.

After the Winx tells Faragonda of Bloom and Roxy's nightmares, Faragonda advises that they not take these dreams lightly and praises them for warning her. Though she does not believe that the Wizards should be able to escape, Faragonda still takes it upon herself to notify the Fortress of Light. Once Faragonda is able to contact one of the Fortress Templars, he informs her and the Winx that no alarms on Omega have been set off, the monthly report indicates no problems, and that the Wizards' icy prisons remain intact. Despite hearing all this, Bloom still cannot put herself at ease, which causes Faragonda to suspect that she will not be able to calm her nerves until she and the Winx go down to Earth to check for themselves. Though Bloom claims that they did not want to ask, Faragonda gives them permission to return to Earth as the proper reestablishment of its magic should be ensured.
