Into the World of Twisted Wonderland Pt 2

🐍 Schemer of the Scalding Sands: Chapter 28 🐍

Later that night while Angel was asleep, ripples started to form, a scene appearing in her dreams.

Angel opens her eyes, seeing that the area around her seemed darker than usual, expecting the sun to shine around her. She looks to the sky, hoping to see if the sun was just briefly covered by the clouds only to be shocked at the scene. (The skies are so dark and omnious...) She thinks as she looks at the cloud covered sky, seeing that the clouds are darkened, as if her hunch was right. She looks in front of her, seeing that the man named Jafar was holding a lamp she's seen before, talking to a blue skinned person, no, not a person but a ghost of sorts, in front of him, smirking. She sees that a group of people approaches Jafar, Angel remembering one of them was Prince Ali from her previous dream, a woman, and the sultan, trying to stop him. Soon enough, the blue ghosts sadly nods, and before Angel could even process it, the ghost's body enlarge, towering over the town with sinister intent. "Genie, no!" The man shouts in an attempt to stop the ghost, but the ghost gives him a sad look.

"Sorry kid," it says apologetically. "I have a new master now." The ghosts continue on, looking at the town, clouds swarming around it as magic starts to spread, attacking buildings within the town. The man looks at the scene in horror as buildings start to crumble but look at Jafar behind him with a glare, laughing at the scene.

"Kneel and pay tribute to the great sorcerer Jafar!" The parrot exclaims, and the people in front of him get on their knees, to their surprise, trying to fight off the command but fails.

Jafar looks at the scene with a devilish smile. "Now, where were we?" He asks, looking at the people kneeling in front of him, shaking in fear. "Ah yes- Abject humiliation!" He aims his staff at the man, and a bright light flashes, the man's princely features start to become ragged as the light wears off, shocking the woman and sultan as they see the so-called prince reduced to simple commoner clothing. Jafar walks over towards him and laughs. "He is no prince, and that's a fact," he states as the woman looks at him in shock. "Now that he's unmasked, do you recognize your prince?" He asks. "It's Aladdin! His punishment?" He says as his staff glows, the genie grabbing him away from the two and force him into a building. He smirks as Aladdin look at him with a glare. "Eternal banishment...from this life!" Jafar yells as the genie only complies, the building lifting from the ground and flew away from the town, heading into the sandy beyond. The scene start to fade, with Angel looking at the where the building flew away to, hearing the sound of Jafar's laughter in the background as the scene fade to black. (He made himself the ruler?)

"Angel. Grim. It's time to wake up," Jade calmly says as he shakes the two awake. Angel's eyes slowly open, trying to recollect herself from the dream she had only to see the Octavinelle trio already awake, waiting on them. She gets up, slowly letting her body adjust while Grim opens his eyes with a groan.

"Myah...Are we marchin' to the oasis?" He sleepily asks, hopefully praying that it wouldn't happen.

"No, we're waking up early precisely to avoid that," Azul answers as he waits for the two to get ready, which wasn't long since they were used to waking up early, mainly to avoid the students trying to rough them awake. "Come along, now," he says once the two got ready, ready to put the plan in motion.

In Kalim's room, Kalim was sleeping soundly in his bed until an alarm rang, and he sleepily turned it off, not seeing Jade as he starts to wake up. "Good morning, Kalim," Jade softly greets as Kalim rubs his eyes awake.

"Mm...Izzat you, Jamil?" Kalim sleepily asks, not fully awake to process that Jade was in front of him. "Morning..."

"No, it's Jade," he corrects. "Though our names do sound a bit similar. Heh."
