Roxana: No!! No!! NOOOOOO~!!!!!!!!!
Ace: Roxie!! Get it together!!!
Roxana: No!!! I need to go home~!!! [sobs] [sobs] M-My dad... H-H-He needs me [sobs]
Roxana tried to reach out to the mirror but Ace wasn't budging when he didn't let Roxana go near the shards of glass, however some of it did touch Roxana as she tried to move. Only for her to get cut by her fingers and palms, but that didn't stop her from trying to reach out and try to grab one of the pieces.
Ace: Roxie!!! Snap out of it!!!
Roxana: [sobs] I... I... [sobs] [sobs] I need... I need [hic] [sobs]
Rook: Snow White, you mustn't try to harm your delicate skin, it will only leave you scars
Roxana stopped moving and only cried, while Ace pulled her into his arms making her body shift as she grips onto Ace's chest and cry on his shoulders. Ace comfort her, while Rook took her bloody palm and bandage it up. Everyone stood there in shocked at how the mirror shattered and when Roxana went mad when she tried to reach for the pieces of glass.
Vil: What could've caused the mirror to shatter like that? It couldn't have been Beautiful Maiden
Crowley: Never in my many years has this mirror ever shattered before. How can this be!?
Riddle: Could it not have been able to withstand Roxana's magic?
Jamil: I highly doubt it
Leona: No, that wasn't it
Dorm Leaders: Eh?
Leona: I heard something from that mirror, it said... "Don't go, it's a trap"
This surprised everyone and made them feel terrified, if something was trying to warn Roxana to not go, that can only mean that someone saved her from leaving.
Vil: Could this be the work of the Organization XIII?
Leona: Hard to tell, the voice was more feminine than a male voice
Jack: Yeah, I heard it too. Clear as day
Epel: Me too
Sebek: So did I!!
Deuce: Same here
Ace: Ah! I thought I was going crazy but I heard it too!!
Leona: Which can only mean one thing, this isn't the mirror Mae was suppose to receive
NRC Residents: EHHHH!!!!????
Roxana: S-S-So... This... W-Wasn't... Going to take me home?
Leona: No Little Cub, whoever brought this mirror, intended to capture you... Look
Leona used his magical pen to unveil what appears to be a mist of dark energy around the mirror, causing the others to back away from it.
Jade: What is that? Some kind of spell or curse?
Vil: Most likely the same curse spell that trapped Roxana's mother, but how?
Riddle: How did anyone managed to get their hands on mastering a powerful curse?
Leona: I doubt the Organization XIII could've done this, but if they did... Then they would need a wizard to perform this magic, I'd say that... We have a turncoat in our college
Everyone was left stunned and shocked, a student at Night Raven College. After hearing about the incidents that were effecting Roxana, and now they were trying to trap her so they can hand her over to the Organization XIII. Ace noticed Roxana not saying another word as he looked down to see her eyes closed and breathing slower, he figured that she must've fallen asleep after all that. He quickly picked her up in his arms and looked at everyone, including the headmaster.
Ace: Headmaster... Let us find out who's really responsible for this... Mae Senpai would never do something as cruel as this, please let her back!! She's the only one who can figure this out, sure she may be stubborn, cruel, and mean but isn't her job to protect the school?
Crowley: Eh...
Ace: She's worked real hard in finding a way to get Roxana back home, I even have her the idea of using a mirror to get her back!! Please do us a favor and bring Mae Draconia back!!
Deuce: Ace!! That's the first time you've ever addressed her by her full name instead of her usual nickname
Ace: Yeah well, I hate seeing the headmaster throwing all the hard work into her so if he can't do a better job, then Mae Senpai is our solution
Crowley: Ah! I'll have you know I have been trying to find a way to get Miss Love back home, I just wasn't looking the right direction
Vil: Sure you were
Crowley: In any case it's already too late, I can't just call her back. Who knows what diabolical things she'll do to me if I beg for her to come back!! We'll handle this the professional way, the teachers, staff, and I will solve this
Ace: [glares] And if you don't?
Crowley: Then, I'll have to ask another headmaster for help. Until then, Miss Love will return back to the Ramshac-
Ace: That's "Night Raven Dorm" to you. Riddle, permission to stay with Roxana Love until then?
Riddle: [gasp] Ace... Did you just-
Ace: I don't wanna repeat it, can I?
Riddle:... Given that you did ask politely, you may
Deuce: Riddle, may I join Ace too, I wanna make sure Roxxi doesn't do anything terrible
Riddle: You may
Deuce followed Ace as they walked with Roxana in their arms, Isa, Lea, Demyx, Ienzo, and Even followed while Lauriam was secretly glaring at the mirror but quickly turned away as he followed the rest but not after catching a glimpse of Rook smiling while holding his magical pen in his hands. Lauriam growled and caught up with the others as they walked to the Night Raven Dorm, Isa instructed Ace and Deuce to wait outside her room until he finished dressing Roxana in her pjs. When he finished, Ace and Deuce changed into some pjs Lea let them borrow, they walked in and saw Roxana wearing a white nightdress. Ace saw her eyelids red and puffy which sting his heart, he crawled into bed sleeping on the right side while Deuce slept on the left side with Roxana in the middle as the boys try to sleep.
Deuce: Ace
Ace: Hm
Deuce: Do you think Roxxi will ever be able to go back?
Ace: She has to, even if we don't want her to go we have to respect her wishes. She wants to go back so we'll help her
Deuce: Yeah, you're right. But what if the Organization XIII spy will come back and hurt her? Or worst, kidnap her
Ace: Then we won't let them, we'll protect Roxana no matter what! She's our best friend
Deuce: Yeah, you're right
Ace turned his body to the right and hold Roxana close while Deuce did the same, as they held her close they closed their eyes and spoke.
Ace/Deuce: We "Love" promise...
... We'll bring you home...
Roxana's P.O.V
~ Dream ~
I woke up in the middle of the road and looked around my surroundings, only to find myself in the World That Never Was. I quickly got up and wandered around only to hear footsteps following me, I quickly summoned my Keyblade and attacked the threat, only to be blocked by two keyblades by two threats wearing the same cloak as the Organization XIII, I pushed them back and got into position to summon my persona when they spoke.
???: Wait... Roxie... Is that you?
Roxana: Huh? Who are you?
???: Hold on, now that I see her face, it is her
Roxana: Again... Who are you? Answer me!!
???: It's us [take off their hood] Roxas and Xion
Roxana: Roxas... Xion. Oh thank goodness you're okay and- wait! If you're here then my mother should be here too
Roxas: She is but she's somewhere else, come on!
I followed Roxas and Xion through a portal and enter a different world with a huge castle, I was surprised and continued to follow them until they opened the door and I walked in to see a couple of things around to keep them alive and well until my eyes spotted my mother standing in front of the mirror like as if she's discussing with someone until she turned around to see me. She was in shocked and my eyes were tearing up, I ran up to her expecting some kind of trick or illusion, but instead she walked up to me and opened her arms. I embrace my mother and felt her hand on my head and back as she held me close.
Roxana: Mom... It's you... It's actually you!!
Selene: Roxie... [tear up] My precious little Roxie, I'm so glad that you're okay
Roxana: Mom... I have to ask, was it you? Did you warn me not to go?
Selene: [smile] I figured you'd solve it, yes, I did alerted you. I had to because it was a trap, and the only way to alert you was to talk to you through the mirror
Roxana: Then that other me, was that something I should be worried about?
Selene:... Yes, it's the overblot you
Roxana: My overblot? But I haven't-
Selene: Not yet that is, if you let your emotions get to the point where you can't handle it, it will consume you and you won't have control of yourself. I know that for certain because Idia's grandmother told me... Believe me when I say this... All of this is born inside us all, the form of our regrets
Roxana: Mom... I-
Selene: Shhh!! [whispers] Roxas... Xion, quick!
Roxas and Xion followed my mother while she dragged me to another room, it was pitch dark but she wanted us to keep quiet as we hear footsteps walking in the Castle. This made my heart beat fast at the thought of getting caught or worst, when we heard the footsteps fading my mother lead us to a different room where we saw a mirror in the center like the one at the Mirror Chamber.
Selene: Sweetie, you have to wake up and go
Roxana: What?! What about you? I can save the three of you and-
Selene: Not now, the mirror is still cursed and I can't go though, it will only bring me back here... Listen to me, you have faced worst things than you can imagine, it's only a matter of time before you face something greater than what you have encountered
Roxana: But-
Selene: Go! Now...
My mother pushed me back as I stumbled into the mirror and watch as my mother summoned her Keyblade and smiled at me, after everything went black I heard my mother words echoing into my ears.
... They say if you dream a thing more than once, it's sure to come true...
I had woken from my blackout but started to hear a baby crying, then the area around me started to change and I appeared in a castle. I spotted from the distance three fairies looking what appears to be a baby in a crib.
Flora: Each of us should bless the child with a gift, tiny princess
All of the sudden, someone appeared in the center and I saw that it was The Witch of Thorns.
Fauna: It's Maleficent!!
Roxana: Maleficent? Where have I heard of that?
Maleficent: I was worried since I didn't receive an invitation
Merryweather: You weren't invited
Maleficent: I wasn't? I too, shall bless the child with a gift. Listen well, all of you. The princess shall indeed grow in grace and beauty, and she will love by everyone. But before the sun sets on her 16th birthday, she shall prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and... Die
This made everyone gasp while I sat there staring in horror of the fact that the Princess will die on her 16th birthday, before I could say something the scene changed and I covered my eyes from the flashing light and peeked to see two people having a stand off and glaring but I couldn't distinguish between who they were and why they were in my dreams.
???: I am stronger than you... You just can't admit it to the world how powerful I am...
???: THEN WHY WERE YOU SO EASY TO CURSE!!!!????
Roxana: What's going on?!
~ Dream Ends ~
Roxana: Mother!! [huff] [huff]... Mom... that dream I had... Does that mean she's the only one being left out...? Why did they chose not to invite Maleficent? I mean she may be evil but... Every villain had a terrible story in their past... 'The dream was...'
Grim: [yawn] Good morning, Roxana... Huh? Those two haven't woken up yet?
Roxana: Eh, those two?
Now that Grim said it, I realized that I saw a strand of dark navy blue hair. I looked down and saw Deuce burying his head into my stomach, while I looked back and saw Ace's head close to mine. Then I remembered... The mirror shattered and it was a cursed mirror, it wasn't the actual one that would help me get back home. I frowned as I comb through Deuce's hair, Grim struggled to break free from underneath my leg as he got Dawn to help him out. That made Deuce move a bit until he opened his eyes and saw me awake and sat up.
Deuce: [yawn] Morning Roxxi, you're awake. Eh, Ace! Wake up!
Ace: [mutters] Five more minutes~ Roxie about to tell me her size chest... [snore]
Roxana: Eh... Hold on
I turned my body around and pinched both Ace's cheeks to wake him up, causing him to sit up and hold his cheeks in his hands.
Ace: Owwww~ did you had to pinch that hard?!
Roxana: I had a choice, either let you dream or wake you up
I pouted and looked ahead of the mirror when I remembered the dream, I scrambled out of bed and rushed out of my room without saying good morning.
Grim: Ffgna? Roxie, why are you in such a hurry?!
Ace: Roxie!!
I ignored everyone calling out to me and rushed to the Main Street where the seven statues are, I stood in front of Maleficent statue. The flashbacks of the dream kept coming back to me as I stood there in shocked, I backed away from the statue and tumbled to the ground as I shiver in fear of what could possibly be a nightmare for the future.
Roxana:... Don't tell me... Is someone... Going to die?
Grim: Hey, Roxie~!! Don't leave me!! What's wrong? Why are you staring at the statue of the Great Seven? Is there anything wrong with this... Statue of the Thorn Witch? The words carved on this statue, is it covered in Mr. Trein short exam? Let me see...
???: The thorn witch who reigns over the Magic Mountain. She could manipulate thunderclouds and thorns, and she possesses an invincible magic power. The noble witch who keeps herself independent while having many subordinates. It's what written there. And our dorm, Diasomnia, is based on her spirit of nobility
I looked to my left and saw Malleus standing there with Silver and Sebek, I knew that I wasn't in speaking terms with Malleus after he didn't vouch for his sister, but I couldn't stay mad at him for long.
Roxana: Good Morning, Tsunotaro
Sebek: T-Tsu, Tsunota...!?
Malleus: Sleeping Beauty, you must've sit on the ground, the dirt and dust will stain your-
Malleus was cutoff when Sebek rushed forward and picked me up, I was confused and shocked while Sebek shook my body and yelled.
Sebek: SLEEPING BEAUTY!!!! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU'RE TALKING TO!!???
Roxana: Eh?
Sebek: The person you have met before you right here is the next head of the Briar Valley, and he's the Dorm Leader of the noble Diasomnia... He's also the one who will become the head of the Majestic Night Descendant, the Malleus Draconia!!! APOLOGIES FOR YOUR RUDENESS!!!! SLEEPING BEAUTY!!!!!
Grim: Uwah! This was the noisy guy who was at the Colosseum during the school festival!
Roxana: Eh, Sebek... I would if you could just-
Sebek: [places Roxana aside] I'm Sebek Zigvolt, the loyal servant of young master!! RATHER THAN THAT, YOU SHOULD APOLOGIES TO YOUNG MASTER FOR BEING RUDE!!!!!
Roxana: Well you see Sebek, he-
Malleus: It's fine, Sebek. I'm the one who allowed Sleeping Beauty to call me with the nickname "Tsunotaro"
Sebek: W-What?... I see. As expected from both young master, your heart is bigger than the sea!!
Roxana: Um...
Silver: Haa, Sebek. First of all, shouldn't you apologies for yelling at them without thinking? You are the one who was being disrespectful to the friend of young master, especially when Sleeping Beauty hasn't been given the tour around Diasomnia dorm, yet
Sebek: Ah!! I must apologize!!! I wouldn't want her to get the wrong idea of Diasomnia. And I don't want you to tell me that when you're just standing there, Silver!!
Grim: What's wrong with these three... They are way more noisier than last time
Roxana: Grim, be nice
Malleus: Sle- Ahem... Roxana, are you interested in the legend of the Thorn Witch? I'll tell you if it's something I know
Roxana:... Well... Is she a hated person?
Malleus: A hated person...?
Sebek: SLEEPING BEAUTY!!!! HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT TO THE HONOR GREAT SEVEN!!! The thorn witch has a magic power and the spirit of nobility that no one can ever have. SHE IS BEING RESPECTED, NOT HATED!!!
Malleus: I'm not sure about that. There were times when she was feared and isolated by people because she was too outstanding, "respect" turns to "awe", and it eventually become "fear", it's how it is
Sebek: The fools who hated on the Thorn Witch for that reason are no better as the pebble by the roadside. THEY'RE NOT EVEN WORTH PAYING ATTENTION TO!!!! DON'T ASK YOUNG MASTER SUCH STUPID QUESTION, SLEEPING BEAUTY!!!!
Grim: Why is this guy acting so bossy!? You're not even the Thorn Witch!
Roxana: I wonder... Malleus, when you cursed Mae Senpai... Did you think she was going to be stronger than you? Mae Senpai once told me that one times when you and her dueled at a young age, she beat you
~ Flashback ~
... Before New Years...
Roxana: Hey Mae Senpai... If you were to duel against Malleus, would you win or lose?
Mae:... Hmm... Well, to be completely honest, I would win. When we were little, Malleus and I would duel and he would lose instantly against me, I was a fast learner and I knew more spells than he did... But now that I have this curse... I can't do any of the spells that I learned, it's like I've been immobilized by this dreadful curse...
~ Flashback Ends ~
Roxana: Well? Did you?
Malleus:... Roxana... I-
[Footsteps... Footsteps]
Lea: There you are!! Roxie, we gotta head back to the dorm, not only you aren't dressed for school, but we have a call from Mae Senpai
Roxana: Huh? Mae Senpai is calling... Sorry Malleus, I have to go. Come along, Grim
Grim: Ffgna! If this is about me secretly eating her portion of her meals, I don't wanna talk to her!!!
Roxana: Come on, I'm sure it's important
Malleus: Roxana, if you want to learn more about the Thorn Witch, come to Diasomnia. I'll tell you more about it. Well then, see you again
I said my farewells and rushed immediately back to my dorm, I opened the door as we entered the foyer, and saw everyone around the mirror as Mae was communicating with us through the mirror.
Roxana: Mae Senpai!
Mae [mirror]: Hello Roxana, Grim. I have some important news, as of today I want you guys to stay home for today. I need to take Roxana to Royal Swords Academy, it's very important that we get some answers from the Headmaster, he'll know how to remove the curse off the mirror
Lea: Yeah~ about that... The mirror shattered
Mae [mirror]: What?! What happened?!
Lauriam: The mirror turned out to be booby trapped... And as a result it shattered when Ace pulled Roxana away, whatever was on the other side, it warned her to not go and that it was a trap
Mae [mirror] I can't believe it... So that means I'm innocent!! Why that headmaster owes me an apology!! When I get my hands on Crowley, I'm gonna ring his tiny little neck and-
Isa: Ahem... Mae, about what you discussed with us....
Mae [mirror]: Oh! Right! Listen well, I had a vision or some kind of dream and I'm pretty sure Roxana got that same dream too... I think I'm not the only one who's been cursed
Demyx: Really?! Who else?!
Mae [mirror]: That's the thing, I don't know. But I do believe that Malleus may be the one to overblot
This shocked all of us, it would make sense since Malleus is never usually invited to the Dorm Leader's meetings, let alone not invited to any social events, it's almost as if they purposely left him out.
Mae [mirror]: In any case I'll be ready to leave Night Raven College to take Roxana to Royal Swords Academy, Roxana and I will leave during school time, as for the rest of you. I expect Isa and Lauriam to keep a sharp eye on Malleus while the rest of you will keep an eye on Silver and Sebek
Ienzo: What about Lilia?
Mae [mirror]: We don't have to worry about him, I'll explain later. Roxana, meet me at the Main Street, I'll be there. Ciao [hang up]
Lea: Why not Lilia? Is there something she isn't telling us?
Isa: We only have three people to be concerned about... Let's just focus on those three and our education... Understood?
NRD Residents: Right!
While everyone else left to go get change and ready for school, I changed into something comfortable for me to wear and decide to take Dawn with me.
[Roxana's Outfit. Not Mine ^]
Grim wanted to go with Lea instead, so he hopped onto his shoulders. As they walked to class, I waited outside of Main Street looking at Maleficent statue as I hummed a little song while I waited.
Roxana: I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream... I know you, that look in your eyes is so familiar a gleam... And I know it's true that visions are seldom all they seem... But if I know you, I know what you'll do... You'll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream...
[Vroom... Vroom]
Roxana: Huh?
I heard a vehicle screech and looked ahead to see Mae riding what appears to be a motorized unicycle, it was colored black and green while Mae wore a matching helmet with it. She stopped the vehicle and stopped right next to me and Dawn.
Roxana: Mae Senpai
Mae: [smirk] Get in, Princess. We're going to Royal Swords Academy
Roxana: How did you acquire this? Isn't this property of Idia?
Mae: Eh, he was kind enough to lend it to me, I talk to him in a kind and gentle way
~ What Really Happened ~ [Narrator: Yes. I did go there 😂😂🤣🤣]
Mae: What do you mean no?! Idia I need it to get to Royal Swords Academy!!!!
Idia: I have my reasons!!! I will not allow you to put your dirty hands on my precious beautiful Magical Wheel!!! I worked so hard to build this and now you're gonna use it to take my beloved future queen of the-
Mae quickly grab hold of Idia collar shirt and glares at him, making him feel small and shrink when Mae told him the most unbearable things she would do to him.
Mae: Gimme the goddamn Magical Wheel or so help me I will burn down your waifu belongings including that fucking life size poser of Roxana Love in her performance festival outfit which shouldn't be in your room!!! And your precious gaming console!!!!!
Idia: [gulp] [high pitch voice] Try not to scratch it
Mae: Thank you...
~ The End ~
Mae: Anyways~ let's get going before Crowley sees me and I get into bigger trouble, here
Mae handed me a helmet and I hopped onto the back, wrapping my arms around Mae's waist as she started driving us out of Night Raven College and to Royal Swords Academy, I'm sure nothing bad will happen when we get there. Right?
Isa's P.O.V
Lauriam and I walked to the Lecture Hall where we see the rest of the Third Years waiting, I fixed my tie while Lauriam was holding a rose in his hand as he admire it.
Vil: Ah. Isa, Lauriam, we didn't think you two would arrive
Isa: Not at all, we've arrived just in time
Rook: How is our beautiful Snow White? Healthy I assume
Lauriam: Instead of worrying about our Rosebud, why don't you worry about what choice of career or university you'll be going to
Isa: She's doing fine, she won't be attending classes today because of some... Important matters, we're not allowed to discuss the details, but she'll be back during lunchtime
Vil: Ah, I see...
Cater: Awwww~ I wanted to see our pretty Alice, boo~
Trey: I'm sure she's doing fine
Idia: [mutter] Stupid Mae and her grumpy attitude, I hope she doesn't come back so I can finally tell Kore how I feel and she'll say "Oh Idia, my brave and beloved Idia. How I dream to join your dorm and-
Trey: Are you okay, Idia?
Idia: Eep!! I'm fine!! Perfectly fine!! I had nothing to do with Kore not around!!
Cater: Eh... Do you know something or-
Idia: N-N-Nothing!! I mean
Idia pulled up his hoodie and pulled the string on his hoodie as to hide his face from saying anything else.
Crowley: All the third graders are here. Now, we will begin the Orientation for the internship that will be held for the fourth year. It's required subject. Please listen to me carefully. Well then, please open the first page of your syllabus. The internship will start in September, almost the same time as the new semester. Your internship period is about three months per season. You can choose up to three places in one yea. You can spend all three seasons at the same place, and you can also go to a different place each season to gain a lot of experience. The place of Internship are companies, research facilities, and foundations that are affiliated with our school... But you can't freely choose the one you like. Please note that the place of internship you can choose is different depending on your elective subjects, credits, grandes, and many more. Other than the interviews, there are times where you will not be hired unless you pass a special exam. The details are written in the list of internship places at the end of the document, so please read it carefully before applying. Listen, do not choose your place of internship just for fun! It's required to achieve a grade B above for each season of your internship and submit a report, you wouldn't get the credit if you didn't have both of them. If you obtain two credits out of the three seasons, you will have the right to take the graduation exam. Above all, it's an important step to decide your future career. Please think carefully before deciding~
The Headmaster walked off as Lauriam and I looked through the papers, I know for certain that Even has offered Me and Lea a place at the Radiant Garden, but I also want to join the career Mae has been doing for the past year ever since she entered her second year.
Isa: What will you be doing, Lauriam?
Lauriam: Isn't it obvious, I'll be putting my focus in the gardening industry, I expect to expand my horizons and grow my own garden
Isa: As expected
Lauriam: And what about you?
Isa: I was offered an opportunity to work with Mae in the Elite 7, I will work in her departing and take upon the position of Vice Supervisor
Lauriam: [smirk] I see... I wonder how Mae would feel if she had you around, she seems intrigued by you and your presence. Do I detect a hint of sentiment in Draconia's sister? Fufufu
Isa: [glares] Our relationship has nothing with do with that, I suggest you keep your mouth shut
[Footsteps... Footsteps]
Cater: Hey Flower Boy! Isa!! Did you guys decided on what you'll be doing?
Lauriam: Why yes, I decided to put my focus on the gardening industry, as I said to Isa I was going to expand my knowledge and skills in gardening and start one of my own. I head there are many competitions when it comes to gardening. And since I have a lot of experience with the plants and nature, I'm sure to succeed in the process with flawless marks
Trey: Interesting, what about you Isa?
Isa: I will be signing up for the Elite 7 position, I will be working with my teammates and work hard to get the Elite League position in the future and hopefully get to work with Mae Draconia department
Trey: Ah~ I see
Cater: Mae has worked her hardest in her career to get the best position in the Elite 7, she even got promoted to Supervisor so quickly
Leona: That's no surprise, she deserves to have that position, plus she looks very sexy in that suit of hers. Makes her look more feminine and dominant
Vil: And here we thought you went to sleep
Leona: That was until you spoke of "my" girl
Isa: Again, she isn't yours to claim. She's a strong independent woman, and you should be grateful that she convinced your Supervisor to not dethrone you from your dorm leader position
Leona sat up and stood across from me as his hand slammed against the table, he glared at me while I stood my grounds and glares back.
Leona: Wanna repeat what you said, Isa? Go ahead, say it... I. Dare. You [growls]
Trey: [gulp] Oh boy
Cater: Now now, Leona. Calm down... W-We don't wanna cause a scene here!
Malleus: Enough, the both of you. None of you have what it takes to be a successful suitor to my baby sister. She is elegant, intelligent, and beautiful, none of you hasn't been able to prove their worthiness to earn the title of "boyfriend"
Lilia: Now now, Malleus. MaeMae is allowed to make her own decisions, and we promised her we wouldn't baby her like in the past. We would be respectful of her privacy and her decisions
Malleus: Hmph, I'll be the judge of that... How is she?
Isa: I can't disclose anything about her whereabouts or her business, but since you are her brother, I will let you know this. She may have found a way to get Roxana Love home, she just need to take Roxana to someone who may have the key to getting her back home
Malleus: Eh... Who?
Isa: That's as far as I'm allowed to tell you. Mae has instructed me to make sure no one else knows where she's going to ensure no one intervenes in the process of getting Roxana back home
Malleus: I see...
Lauriam: What about you, Lilia? Have you decided on what you'll be doing for the internship?
Lilia: Me? I... I won't take part in the internship
Cater: Eh?
Trey: Ah, have you already received a job offer too?
Lilia: No... I will drop out of this school
Third Year Boys: EHHHHHHHHH!!!!?????
Malleus:.......... Eh?
[DOOR SLAM OPEN]
???: [huff] [huff] [huff] Someone [huff] [huff] Please help
Trey: Eh! Al- Roxana, what are you doing here?!
Vil: And why aren't you in class?!
Dawn: This is an emergency!! Mae Draconia's curse!! It's back!!!
Malleus: [gasp] How?... It can't be
Roxana: Right now she's on the Magical Wheel and I need help getting her to the infirmary!!! Now!!!!
Leona didn't even hesitated to run off and follow Roxana to where Mae was, we all rushed outside to the Main Street to find Mae leaning agaisnt the seat, clutching onto her wrist as the black like thorns marking appear as she bite her lip, trying to ease the pain. Leona rushed forward as he lifted her in his arms and carried her to the infirmary, we followed and Leona slammed the door open.
Even: Gyah! Kingscholar!! Try knocking next time you-
Leona: I don't have time to do that!!! Just help Mae out right now!!! She's in pain!!!
Even: [gasp] Bring her here!
Leona placed Mae onto the bed as Even examine her carefully, checking her heart rate, her eyes, and their markings. He then started walking towards his station and began making an antidote for her pain, he had Leona help by holding her body up as he fed Mae the medicine he created. Once the last drop of the medication was taken, her marking faded away and Mae was able to sleep at ease. Leona carefully placed her onto the bed and brushed her strands of hair away, but before Malleus could approach her Leona grabbed the collar of Malleus's shirt and glares at him.
Leona: This is your fault, if it weren't for you she wouldn't have to suffer like this
Malleus: I don't understand, I removed the curse... Why is it still effective in her?
Leona: Did you? Or were you afraid she would be powerful enough to dethrone you?
Leona let go of Malleus as Lilia escorted Malleus away, the others followed while Roxana sat next to Mae bed, and I stood next go her, Leona brushed his hand over his hair and looked at Roxana as a way of wanting to know what happened.
Leona: What happened before all of this?
Roxana: Well... We were on our way to Royal Swords Academy, when suddenly a hoard of thorns appeared and blocked me and Mae Senpai way of getting to Royal Swords Academy
Roxana's P.O.V
~ Flashback ~
Mae and I were driving down to the path of Royal Swords Academy, I spotted the school from afar. It was majestically beautiful and looked breathtaking that I was curious if we would run into Neige, Chenya, and the seven dwarfs.
Mae: We're almost there!! The headmaster knows of our arrival so be ready
Roxana: Okay! Say, Mae Senpai, do you think that maybe we'll [gasp] Mae Senpai!! Look out!!!
Up ahead we're thorns appearing out of no where which made Mae turn the Magical Wheel around as she drove away while the thorns tried to reach out for us, it was gaining on us full speed while I was about to summon my Keyblade when Mae started chanting something.
Mae: Those who defy me are the weak, those who try to harm others are in no position to survive, protect those around and myself included... Cursed Thorns
Mae stopped the Magical Wheel as the thorns were about to surround us when a couple of thorns that were more light green created a barrier around us as we held each other close. When the rumbling stopped, Mae used her magic to make an exit as we drove out of the barrier and looked back to see the thorns and vines blocking our way into Royal Swords Academy.
Roxana: Now what?! This was our only way of figuring out how to get me home and now it's gone!!
Mae: Ugh!! Damn it!! Whoever did this is going to pay for this!! [sigh] Roxie, I- Gyah!!
Roxana: [eye wide] Mae Senpai!! [gasp] Y-Your arm!!
Mae looked down and saw that the same marking that were part of her curse we're returning back, this made Mae and I worried while she started crying in pain.
Roxana: Mae Senpai!! We have to go back!! You need help!!
Mae: Ugh!! But what the answers?! We need to get you-
Roxana: Forget about it, your health is important than some answers to get me home!! We have to go back! Now!!
Mae: Ngh... Okay [huff] Roxana, you'll have to drive, can you do that?
Roxana: Um... I can try
Mae: I'll guide you
Mae and I switched places as I carefully drove us back to Night Raven College, but I kept thinking to myself how Mae got her curse back if she already made amends to Malleus... Unless, there's more to it than just forgiveness.

Roxana: And that's what happened, once we got back I rushed to the school so I can find someone to help her. I remember Isa saying that you guys would be at the Lecture Hall so I went there first
Trey: You did the right thing to find help, but I'm curious... Why didn't the curse lift
Cater: Yeah, didn't they forgive each other?
Lilia: I believe it's more than that, as. I feared, it possible that the person who put the curse on her must lift it... If not then I'm not sure what it could be
Roxana: There has to be someway to lift the curse or cure it
Leona: Curing a curse isn't easy, what I think has to be done is for the person to admit their mistake
Roxana: Mistakes... [gasp]... Could it be...
~ Flashback ~
???: I am stronger than you... You just can't admit it to the world how powerful I am...
???: THEN WHY WERE YOU SO EASY TO CURSE!!!!????
~ Flashback ends ~
Roxana: 'Could it be possible?....'
... Did Malleus cursed Mae Draconia on purpose?...
