Heya guys before we get to the next chapter would like to talk about what happened yesterday. The reason why I unpublished the book cuz I'd noticed the author unpublished her book cuz someone told her to do so because they are authors out there afraid of having their books disappeared or deleted without their consent during maintenance. I did the same to avoid that and the other Twisted Wonderland authors did the same too, but some of their books are coming back in Wattpad today. I apologized for the inconvenience, but don't worry this book ain't going nowhere and it's here to stay. If something this happens again then I'll informed you guys about it because as an author myself, I must take responsibility for my work and protect myself from harm in the social media. I don't care about views. Views are just numbers. The only thing that matter to me is my safety and I rather unpublished my stories to protect myself than worrying about views. To everyone who is afraid of having their stories deleted, please don't panicked and be calm. If something like this happens again, be sure to save your writing in your drive or unpublished them to keep them safe. Mark my words everyone who is reading this book, I will not giving up this book. I came this far to get where I am today. Wattpad has been helping me going through the rough times in my life from a teenager to a young adult. My passions will live on and I'll keep on working on this wonderful fanfic that I worked hard on for months. I'll keep on continuing my writing as the hardworking and passionate writer I am. Thank you for hearing me out. I hope all of you take my reason as a valuable lesson that will help you understand the dangers of social media and prevent you from facing consequences.
Now that's out of the way, onward to the next chapter of The Reincarnation of Mother Gothel. Enjoy.
———————
The next day later, Glory woke up early as Jade said since SHE is an early bird herself. She grabs the clothes that Jade gave her last night and took a shower while humming "I See the Light" by Rapunzel and Eugene from Tangled.
As she washed her hair and body thoroughly with shampoo and body wash for a few minutes. It's time for her to rinse those suds off of her body and hair. Once she washes off the soap of her, Glory turns the faucet off and shoves the curtains to grab a towel near her. She wraps the towel around her waist.
Then she saunters to the counter and grabs her phone where Glory goes to her playlist and clicks her favorite song "Say So" by Doja Cat. While the song plays, Glory grabs the dryer and starts blow drying her hair as soon as the beat drops. Cue the melodic singing from the ravenette herself.
"Day to night to morning, keep with me in the moment
I'd let you had I known it, why don't you say so?"
Glory sang beautifully as she gracefully sways her hips moving to the beat of the song.
"Didn't even notice, no punches left to roll with
You got to keep me focused, you want it, say so~."
She harmonizes while sensually grinding her hips.
"It's been a long time since you fell in love~
You ain't coming out your shell, you really ain't been yourself~."
Glory marvels alluring while grooving to the beat until she heard a wolf whistle.
And that killed the moment as Glory froze and whips her head to let out a shriek as she drops her blow dryer and quickly covers her body while in a towel when Floyd was peeking at her the whole time.
"Oh my-! Floyd! What the hell are you doing here?!" Glory yelps while covering herself with a towel.
"Ahah~ Lionfish has a cute body!" Floyd coos making her even flustered and grabs her hairbrush next to her.
"Get out of here, Jesus!!" Glory shouts as she throws the hairbrush at him, but quickly shuts the door to dodge it and cue the laugh from the sneaky eel.
"You gotta do better than that, Lionfish! Ahahah!!!" He cackles. Soon he felt a shadow crept before him as Floyd glance up to see Azul adjusting his glasses up to the bridge of his nose while glaring down at the mischievous eel.
"Floyd, a word?" Azul ushers with an unamused tone with Grim standing behind him with a blank look.
"You're a dead eel, Floyd." Grim snarks with his arms crossed.
"Eeeeh?" Floyd hums tilting his head with an "innocent" look as Azul drags Floyd out to give him a strict scolding from the octopus himself.
An hour later after Azul's lecture to Floyd, Glory and Grim got out of the room after drying her hair where she dons an Octavinelle uniform and a fedora.
***Glory's Octavinelle uniform^***
"As she saunters to the lounge, she and Grim saw Vivien, Rapunzel, Eugene, and Cassandra chilling at the lounge with Azul and the Leech twins.
"Morning guys." Glory said as they all turn to see Glory in her Octavinelle outfit. Azul went wide-eyed as his face went deeply red before tucking his necktie and adjust his glasses trying to maintain his composure while dying inside.
Damnit! Why does she have to be so attractive in that outfit!?
Azul thought while heating up with the twins noticing his flustered reaction and cue Floyd laughing his ass off and a subtle chortle from Jade as he covers his mouth with his hand.
"Azul's blushing mad! Ahahaha!" He cackles as Floyd continue to laugh his ass off. As for the others, they look at her with awe.
"Whoa mama! You look like a mafia gangster!" Eugene compliments making her giggle.
"Well you're certainly not wrong about that. Wearing this does make me feel part of an undersea Mafia." Glory admits.
"I think you look beautiful in that!" Rapunzel chirps with Pascal nodding in agreement.
"Yeah, you look pretty cool in that outfit." Cassandra compliments with a grin.
"Indeed." Jade agrees as he saunters towards Glory and gently grabs her hand to plant a kiss on it.
"You look lovely in that outfit." Jade compliments making her grin sheepishly.
"Thanks Jade." She replies coyly.
"I know right?~" Floyd coos as he skips his way to Glory and wraps his arms around her waist.
"Lionfish looks so cute! It makes me want to squeeze her~." Floyd purrs laying his head on her shoulder smiling giddily triggering the jealousies from Azul and his twin brother, who are frowning at the frisky eel. Floyd knows their jealous glares and provokes them even more by stick his tongue at them like a child clinging on to his adorable human crush. Glory noticed their tension and she has no time for their crap and pushes herself off of him to grab his wrist as Glory twirls him around and twists his arm that causes him to let out a wince.
"Don't you even think about wrapping your hands around me after you pulled that little stunt back in the bathroom." Glory snarks shocking Rapunzel and her gang.
"Huh!?" Eugene and Rapunzel shrieks. Cassandra felt her blood flowing through her veins as her grey eyes boils with rage and clench her fists when she hears this from her mother's reincarnation.
"You. Did. WHAAAAAAAT!?!?" Cassandra bellows as she pulls out the sword from her scabbard panicking the couple and Grim as the trio went up to her where Rapunzel and Eugene grab both of her arms to prevent from going Godzilla up on his eel-like ass while Grim leaps up to her shoulder.
"Cassandra relax!" She shouts.
"Whoa there! Calm down Cass!" Eugene shrieks.
"And put the sword down for great sevens sake!" Grim shouts while restraining a raging Cassandra. Floyd was suppressing his pain but does wince while having his arm twisted by Glory.
"Ow ow ow! Ok ok I won't do that again, just stop twisting my arm! It doesn't suit your cuteness!" Floyd whimpers as Glory releases his arm with the ravenette smiles in satisfaction and folds her arms.
"You better otherwise you'll turned into eel sushi." Glory reminds him with an innocent smile that emits deadly danger. Jade let's out a subtle chortle.
"They certainly are lively at best." Jade compliments with a smile making Vivien sighing while shaking her head.
"Too lively at best." She bluntly said and Azul clears his throat.
"Enough of that, let's head to Scarabia." Azul reassures.
"Right!!" Glory and her friends complied.
"Understood." Vivien politely said with a bow.
"Alright/Yessss." The Leech twins replied with amused smiles. Cassandra and Grim let out a sighs.
"Yeah, Yeah." Grim replies reluctantly.
"Whoop dee doo." Cassandra sarcastically remarks.
~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile at Scarabia, the two Scarabia students were at the front gate discussing about last night.
"I can't believe those guys went and holed up in Octavinelle." The Scarabia resident A grumbles.
"They even went and stole Kalim's magic carpet...What if he finds out? Ugghh, what should we do?" The Scarabia resident B mutters.
"Let's go ask Jamil what he thinks first." He suggests, but soon they heard footsteps and they all whip their heads to see the Octavinelle trio, Glory, Grim, Vivien, Rapunzel, Eugene, and Cassandra approaching them.
"Good morning, and pardon our intrusion." Azul politely assures.
"Holy sh#t, it's hot. It's like the middle of summer!" Floyd rants while tucking his collar to gain cool breeze. The duo became shocked to see their sudden arrival.
"It's those guys from Octavinelle that beat the crap outta us yesterday!" The Scarabia resident A shrieks.
"What do you want with Scarabia!?" The Scarabia resident B shouts.
"Aaah, I'm terribly sorry about last night. It looked like you were picking on some poor, defenseless animals so as kind as I am, I just has to cover for them. But hearing about what transpired, I realized we had become accomplices in their crime of stealing the magic and I sought to correct our mistake and capture these two thieves. Which is why we are here to return the magic carpet." He explains with an awfully innocent smile causing Glory and her group to deeply cringed at his act except for Vivien.
"Uhhhhh..." Rapunzel utters.
"No comment." Eugene flatly said.
"Ugh this is the worst...." Cassandra grumbles.
"Mmmmhh...You lying son of a-."
"Shush Grim." Glory hushes cutting him off by covering his mouth.
"Indeed, cease your words well little critter." Vivien consoles him.
"Th-That's..." Scarabia resident A utters.
"Thank you for your cooperation...?" Scarabia resident B thanked him with looks of disbeliefs. Suddenly footsteps appeared when Jamil and Iman came out to the front entrance.
"Hey, you guys. It's almost time for morning training. Kalim will lose it if you're la-. Ack!" Jamil and Iman became froze when they saw the Octavinelle trio with Glory smiling deviously and waves at Jamil innocently.
"Good morning Jamil." Glory kindly greets him surprising Iman.
"Glory-san?" Iman looked confused when she saw her and her friend with the Octavinelle trio. Knowing what's up, Jamil clench his fists.
Cheeky cobra! So that's your plan to stop Huh?...
Jamil mentally curses as Azul flashes the vice dorm leader with his signature suave smile.
"Oh my, Jamil! Good morning and how are you this fine day?" Azul ask curiously acting very innocent. Jamil sighs through his nose and folds his arms acting composed and levelheaded.
"Azul Ashengrotto with the Leech brothers. What exactly is going on?" Jamil ask curiously hiding his nervousness.
"It is extremely difficult for us to travel home during winter." Jade explains to him.
"So we stay at the dorm during the winter holidays. Ah Hah." Floyd informs letting out his chuckle.
"Aaaah that makes sense." Iman understood with a small grin. Jamil stared at the trio with disbelief on his face.
"Come...again?" Jamil utters furrowing his brows at them.
"Yup. Ya hear what they said, snake boy. They're merfolk!" Eugene merrily points out.
"I'm sure you quite aware of this by now right?" Glory ask curiously with a smile and Jamil clears his throat.
"Of course I was aware of that. I didn't expect them to arrive here." He said.
"By the way, where could I find Kalim at this time? I'd like to return his magic carpet you see." Azul informs.
"Eeh?! The magic carpet was at Octavinelle last night?" Iman shrieks with a shock look. Glory and her friends glance and avert their eyes awkwardly while smiling.
"Yeaaaah...." They all replied awkwardly remembering yesterday's incident at the Mostro Lounge.
"Eh, ahh...ahhhh. If it's a delivery then I'll take care of it." Jamil insists, but the octopus shook his head.
"No, I couldn't. This magic carpet is like a national treasure. If someone were to discover something wrong with it and try to claim that it was Octavinelle's fault I'd have no end to trouble. So I would like to deliver it directly to Kalim myself and have him look it over." Azul informs.
"Kalim would never care about something like that so I'll take it." Jamil reassures, but Azul is persistent and smiles charmingly.
"Nonsense! I insist. There is no need for you to pay the 20% labor fee for returning a lost item." Azul reassures with a kind smile.
"We'd also like to offer out apologizes for our extremely rude behavior when those from Scarabia were just doing their jobs." Jade calmly informs.
"And we brought some seafood pizza." Floyd chimes while carrying a bunch of pizzas in the boxes.
"Anyway, I'd like to hand this over to him directly. I assume he's already awake?" Azul guesses.
"I'm telling you he's in a bad-!"
Before Jamil could object, Azul saunters passed him ignoring his plea.
"Don't come in uninvited! Azul!" Jamil shouts as he ran after the conniving octopus.
"Ack! Jamil-san!" Iman yelps as he follows the vice dorm.
"Ohohoh~ He's starting to crack!" Eugene snickers.
"Indeed. In fact, Snake child's true colors will expose eventually." Vivien reassures.
"I'll say, he's going to lose his mind for sure." Cassandra remarks with a smirk.
"Can't believe I'm saying this, but...that was really smart of you to bring the Octavinelle trio here." Rapunzel praises.
"Hehehe. Thanks guys." Glory giggles softly while stroking the back of her head.
"Hehehe yup! That's my henchman right here!" Grim boasts ticking her off.
"Say that one more time or you won't be eating tuna for a week." Glory threatens.
"Eek! Sorry!" Grim shrieks. Soon Jade clears his throat and Glory turns to the twins.
"Prefect Angelfish and her group, you should come with." Jade insists.
"Don't fall behind, m'kay." Floyd reminds them as she pulls out a thumbs up to the leech twins.
"On it!" Glory firmly chirps.
"These guys don't take "no" for an answer, y'know..." Grim mutters with a skeptical look.
"You sure have some weird friends..." Cassandra whispers.
"Yes but they're my weird friends, but aside from that. Let's get going." Glory assures.
"She's right, we better follow them." Rapunzel reassures.
"Correct you are, Sunchild. Now let's make our move." Vivien instructs they all bob their heads and follow the Leech twins to the lounge.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile at the Scarabia lounge, Kalim is sitting in front of the Octavinelle trio and Team Glory.
"Hey, Azul. What're you doing here?" Kalim ask curiously with a smile.
"Hello and how are you doing today, Kalim? Woow~ Scarabia is as splendid as ever. Although outside is a winter wonderland, you see not a trace of that in the summer heat of Scarabia. This would make a wonderful location for a resort and I'm sure there would be no shortage of guests." Azul boasts.
"Oooh? I don't really follow but thanks for the compliments!" Kalim chirps beaming with a smile.
"Likewise. I caught your magic carpet so I wanted to return it to you." Azul informs as he pulls out the magic carpet to show him that causes the white haired dorm head to be shocked.
"What? Did it manage to get out again? Thanks for that." Kalim thanks him letting out a sigh.
"Not a problem. By the way...I didn't know all of Scarabia was to spend their holidays in the dorm." Azul points out.
"Yup. You guys too?"" Kalim guesses.
"That's right! What a wonderful coincidence." Azul chirps with a fake smile.
"Then we should take this opportunity to deepen the bonds of Octavinelle and Scarabia through a joint training camp?" He suggests with a charming smile that causes Jamil to flinch. Iman noticed his shock look before he glance at Glory to see her winking at him. Realized what she's planning, Iman covers his hand with his mouth snickering under his hand as he glance back at Jamil.
"Something the matter, Jamil?" Rapunzel asks with a cheeky smile and curls her brows at him. Jamil blinks his eyes and shook his head.
"Erm..no. Nothing Rapunzel..." Jamil denies and Rapunzel smiles innocently.
"Okay Jamil." She replies with a bright smile pretending to be oblivious.
"Lies." Cassandra murmurs with a frown and Owl hoots to agree with her with Pascal blowing raspberry at Jamil.
"*coughs* Bullcrap." Eugene remarks through his fake cough.
"Indeed." Vivien agrees with her as both women and Rapunzel glance each other with soft chuckles.
"Hehehe he's cracking! Way to brought the Octavinelle trio to Scarabia, Glo!" Grim snickers.
"Oh Grim, it's only the beginning." Glory reassures.
"I'd very much like to see the style Scarabia has adopted for their betterment during winter." Azul kindly suggests and Kalim crept a cheery smile.
"Sounds great! I'd love for the dorm head of Octavinelle to come stay with us!" He merrily accepts, but Jamil steps in and sat next to him.
"Kalim, I'm against this." Jamil objects.
"What? Why?" Kalim ask with a puzzled look.
"Cuz he's scared that they'll take his place as vice dorm leader." Eugene jokes making Iman snicker even more, but Vivien grabs his ear and pulls it harshly.
"Drop the jokes for now, Fitzherbert." Vivien seethes with a deadly calm expression.
"Ow! Got it Lady! Yeesh!" He winces as Vivien releases his cheek and poor Eugene rubs his right cheek, but Jamil ignores his joke and kept his stern gaze at Kalim.
"We're giving up our vacation to study in order to catch up to the other dorms, but you want to invite the enemy into our dorm and reveal all our tricks to them?" Jamil ask skeptically.
"Such an ironic statement for you to say, who also invited me and my friends to your dorm for the winter break few days ago. Isn't that hypocritical of you to not allow Azul and the Leech twins to stay in your dorm?" Glory sasses.
"She has a point there, Jamil." Iman informs while trying not to snicker at Jamil's reaction and Kalim nods in agreement.
"Glory-chan's right. Besides "enemy" is a little much, don't you think?" Kalim points out.
"That is...true, I guess." Jamil reluctantly agrees as he whips his head to Azul.
"I'm saying this is for you as well, Azul." Jamil informs him with a cautious glare.
"Thank you very much for your input. We are all rivals in terms of grades after all." Azul informs as he and the twins turn around and stand up from the ground.
"Unfortunately we should make our way back. Do you best with the training." Azul assures before letting out a sigh.
"It looks like it's just three of us in the bitter cold again...I guess we have no choice." He sulks exaggeratedly.
"After we worked so hard to capture to capture the magic carpet..." Jade mopes dramatically.
"And Mostro Lounge is a complete mess..." Floyd whines in a overdramatize tone. And cue the overdramatic yet fake sighs.
"So sad~." They all moped dramatically causing Glory and her friends to sweatdrop except for Vivien.
"Surely, they could do a better job on their acting skills." Vivien sarcastically remarks, but Glory rolls her eyes.
"Please. Even Mother Gothel can do better acting than these guys." Glory retorts.
"You're not wrong about that...." Rapunzel mutters with a sweatdrop and Pascal croaks dryly with a blank look.
"So dramatic..." Cassandra mumbles.
"I know right?" Eugene agrees.
"That is most certainly a "let us stay" kinda sigh, y'know." Grim flatly said.
"Indeed, but don't fret dear Moonchild and companions. I sense that their plan is about to work." Vivien reassures them.
"Eeh?" They all looked baffled until they heard Kalim shouting.
"Stop right there!" Kalim halts standing up from his seat and Jamil sighs in dismay.
"Azul is a top level wizard even at this school. Having him stay here is sure to benefit Scarabia as well!" Kalim chirps.
"Turning away a guest that came all the way here at the door would dirty the Asim name." He proclaims and cue Azul whipping his body and flashes the cheery head dorm leader with his charming but exaggerated smile.
"Aaah...Kalim! You are truly a kind and warm hearted person! I would love to. Allow me to teach you whatever I can." Azul insists and the Leech twin brothers come forward besides Azul.
"The two of us will be happy to assist with any cooking or cleaning that needs to be done." Jade insists with a polite smile.
"Yeah yeah. We're old pros from working in the lounge." Floyd informs nonchalantly with a smile.
"That'd be a big help! Then Jamil will have less work." Kalim praises with a big shining smile.
"Don't worry about me...! Ugh, you're not listening at all." Jamil groans.
"Well then, I know you just got here but why don't we get this practice started! Leave you things there and head into the courtyard." Kalim instructs boldly.
"Roger. I hope you all won't go too hard on us. Fufufu..." Azul chuckles with eyes going with determination.
"Welp, this is gonna be a long day." Eugene said.
"Hehehe Yup! You should've seen the look at his face when he saw Azul and the twins." Grim snickers.
"Calm yourselves. This is just the beginning." Glory reassures as she forms a determined smirk. Elsewhere, Iman is grinning with amusement at the ravenette.
Glory-san you're doing great! He's breaking!
Iman thought with a giddy smile.
—————————
Later at the nighttime, everyone is at the empty room where they all discussed about today's routine.
"Aaaah this day isn't so bad today." Eugene sighs with a smile.
"You've said." Cassandra agrees.
"Yeah! Today we had happy Kalim." Grim chirps.
"Yes, that was the Kalim that I know." Azul informs.
"Yeah! There's no doubt about it! When he switches into scary Kalim, his eyes get this look in them like he's looking down on you and his whole manner turns scary." Grim explains.
"And Jamil's hypnotism is what causes Kalim to act like this." Glory points out.
"Damn right. That's no way a mental illness!" Cassandra seethes.
"Could that be just normal mood swings?" Jade assumes.
"What'd ya mean?" Floyd ask curiously.
"Kalim doesn't strike me as a guy like Floyd whose moods are up and down like a rollercoaster. Like Angelfish and Swan said before, there is probably something else at work here." Jade informs.
"Jamil even said it's because of how Scarabia did in Magift and finals." Vivien explains.
"Eh? Does baby otter care about that stuff?" Floyd ask curiously.
"Otter?" Eugene looked baffled.
"He's talking about Kalim. As we addressed before, Floyd loves to give people nicknames based on sea creatures to show affection. For you, based on your adorable, plump silhouette he calls you "Seally". For Gloriane, Floyd and I called her "Angelfish" and "Lionfish" because she possessed the pure alluring beauty of a mermaid, but she's also acts like a lion. For Vivien, we called her "Swan" because she came from a lake at the deep forest. And for Rapunzel and her gang, we called them "Sunfish" because of Rapunzel's bright personality and once the owner of the sundrop flower, "Moonfish" because she once possessed the Moonstone Opal, and Eugene "Flounder" because of his brown hair." Jade explains with an amused smile ticking the gremlin off.
"What is this "plump" business!?" Grim chides with a glare offended by the nickname.
"Again, how am I a flounder!?" Eugene seethes with a tick mark throbbing from his head.
"Give it a rest, Eugene." Rapunzel reassures him patting his back.
"At least it's not as bad as Swan and Moonfish." Cassandra points out with Owl hooting in agreement.
"Honestly, I found the nickname "Swan" fitting for me." Vivien calmly remarks not fazed by the nickname.
"I picked baby otter 'cause he's always grinning while he plays drums, just like an otter." Floyd said.
"Hm? He plays the drums?" Glory ask with an intrigued look.
"Correct. Kalim is part of the light music club along with Cater and Lilia." Jade explains to her.
"The light music club? That sounds interesting!" Rapunzel chirps with a smile along with Pascal. Azul adjusts his glasses up to the bridge of his nose.
"Yes, he really isn't the type to become emotionally unstable due to low grades. As Glofish and Vivien explained before, Jamil is hypnotizing Kalim into doing heinous crimes for his own personal gain. We need to learn more about Kalim if we are to solve this problem." Azul suggests and turns to Jade.
"Jade, could you go and have a "talk" with him?" Azul ask kindly and Jade smiles in response.
"As you wish. Jamil will probably be difficult, but Kalim should have no problem having an honest "talk" with me." Jade assures.
"And since you're doing that, Floyd and I will have a discussion with Jamil." Glory suggests.
"Huh?" Cassandra and Rapunzel became baffled.
"Wait what?" Eugene utters with a confused look. Vivien giggles softly knowing what her plan is from the beginning cuz AHEM future vision. Jade scoots closer to Vivien and leans to her ear.
"So this is her plan isn't it?" Jade whispers.
"Correct you are, cool Eel child." Vivien replies and Jade chuckles softly.
"I have good feeling about this." Jade mutters with an amused smile.
"Ahah. Yup. We'll have sea snake to hang out with us for fun." Floyd explains as he wraps his arm around Glory and turns his head to flash a wink at the ravenette.
"Very fun indeed." Glory chimes with an innocent smile that screams out "devious". Azul smirks with amusement.
"That sounds wonderful. May I also take part in that?" Azul ask curiously acting innocent thanks to the info that was provided from him last night with the help of Floyd and the ravenette bobs her head firmly at him.
"You may, Azul." Glory slyly insists while smiling innocently as the trio and Glory let out sneaky chortles with the twins baring their sharp teeth. Soon Rapunzel and her friends sweatdrop at their behaviors except Vivien.
"I don't like where this is going." Grim mumbles.
"So do we." Eugene and Cassandra mutters with a gut feeling.
"Hehehe..." Rapunzel chuckles while smiling nervously.
"These guys, their smiles don't reach their eyes, y'know..." Grim points out.
"And this is where their plan began." Vivien mutters with a sly smile. Rapunzel then stands up from the floor.
"Well we better get going." Rapunzel suggests.
"You're going with them?" Grim ask curiously.
"How can I not? I want to join on the fun." Rapunzel said and Pascal croaks in glee.
"Count me in. I just wanna see his reaction when we burst into his room." Cassandra said with a slight smirk.
"Hahah this would be hilarious!" Eugene cackles.
"Hehehe I can imagine his face when we see him!" Grim snickers. While everyone is discussing about their strategy, Vivien's eyes suddenly glow blue when she saw a vision of Jamil's overblot state.
~~~~~~~
"DOKKAANNNN!!!!" He screeches as Jamil blast her, the Octavinelle trio, Grim, Kalim, Iman, Rapunzel, Eugene, and Cassandra out of the Scarabia dorm.
"GUUUUYS!!!!" Glory yelps with her eyes widened in fear when the overblot Jamil shoots her friends out of the dormitory.
"NICE SHOT!!!" Jamil taunts as he lets out his evil laugh.
"Farewell, Kalim!" He sneer as he lets out a mocking laugh again causing Glory to scowl and lifts her left leg to give him a good kick, but soon blocked her attack with his snake hair as he lets out a mocking chuckle.
"Try that again, Glo-san..." He mocks as he grips her left leg with his other snake tentacle causing her to wince in pain. While struggling to break free, Jamil leans closer to the ravenette and gently grabs her chin.
"Don't freak out when I do this, my dear." He consoles as he waves his snake tentacles to swung her to the wall and slams her head hard until he drops her to the ground.
"Ack! Ughh...Gah!" She winces as Glory weakly tries to rise from the floor while struggling to regain her vision, but due to the hard impact her arms starts to shudder with her vision slowly blurring.
"No....I can't...give up like this...!!" Glory whimpers as she sees Jamil approaching her one last time before slowly succumbing to her consciousness. Once she's unconscious, Jamil picked her up and hoist her up in his arms and plants a soft kiss on her temple.
"Rest well love. I'll take great care of you, my dear sweet sultana." He consoles her.
~~~~~~~
Afterwards, Vivien reverts back to reality and widened her eyes as she stood froze.
It's time....
Vivien thought with Cassandra curling her brows curiously until her thoughts are cut off by Glory.
"Vivi are you coming?" Glory ask curiously, but Vivien blinks her eyes before she shakes her head.
"You all can go on without me, I'll be doing some errands for a while." Vivien reassures.
"Eeh? Errands? Boring." Floyd boos sticking his tongue like a child.
"Now now, Floyd. We have to accept people's decisions as well as respecting their boundaries as well." Jade reassures.
"Yessss." He childishly replies.
"Everyone, we're heading to Jamil's room!" Azul exclaims.
"Bye Vivi, we'll tell you everything about it." Glory informs.
"See you Vivi." Cassandra said.
"No worries, I'll be fine." She said as Glory and her friends left the room with Cassandra staring at her suspiciously before she left with Glory and the others. Once she's alone, Vivien takes a deep breathe and sits back straight slowly regaining her composure.
"Now's my chance." Vivien mutters as she lays her fingers to her temple causing a light blue aura to emit from her temple.
—————
Elsewhere in Avalon, Merlin finally arrived at the lake and let's out a sigh.
"Aaaaah finally made it. This place definitely takes me back where me and Artie first met Vivien." He rejoices. Suddenly he felt a strong wave lingering through his mind and lays his hand on his temple.
"Ack! That must be Vivien's Mink Link ability!" He shrieks as he inhales through his nose and calmly immerse himself into his own mind to connect to her mentally.
What is it Vivien?
He ask mentally.
It's Snake Child, Merlin! He's going to overblot tomorrow.
Vivien informs making the tiny wizard squint his eyes and furrow his brows.
So it's time. Recently his heart is growing worst. What is Sundrop and her comrades doing right now?
Merlin ask mentally.
Moonchild just left the room with the Corona gang and the Octavinelle dormitory members to meet up with Snake child. While Twin Eel child is searching for Desert King to get information out of him, but I feel like his plan would backfired sooner.
She informs him mentally.
Hmmm...Anything else?
Merlin ask curiously.
Everyone will be coming back to the room to discuss the matters once their task is complete. Then tomorrow the Octavinelle boys will volunteer the Scarabia students with their everyday routine and Snake Child will slowly lose his patience with them. Just like Moonchild and her comrades wanted. Secondly, Snake child and Octopus King will have a confrontation, but unbeknownst to him, Cool Eel child is recording their confrontation behind the shadows along with Sundrop and her comrades and Wild Eel child made a contract with the Octopus King himself so he could share his unique magic to deflect Snake child's hypnotism. Once he shows his true scales, Desert King will come out of the hall with a disbelief look and Snake child couldn't take anymore of his life as a servant to the Asim family.
Vivien explains with clear details.
And that's when his heart will corrupt and he will overblot...
Merlin assumes.
Correct, he has been a burden throughout his life to the Asim family as a servant. Because of his lifestyle, Snake child holds bitter resentment towards him as he has a higher status and he desires to overthrow him to take his place as dorm leader.
Vivien explains telepathically.
So this was driven by desire.
Merlin mentally stated.
He yearns to be free. And once he blasted her comrades to the desert, Snake child will knock Moonchild unconscious and will force her to become his sultana as he desired.
Vivien explains to him stunning Merlin as he felt his blood boils through his veins, but he lets out a sigh through his nostrils refusing to let his temper get the best of him.
...Vivien.
Yes?
You will stay with Sundrop and the others at Scarabia. It will take a while for me to come back tomorrow, but I promise to King Arthur's honor that I will be there by the time I arrived at the desert. Be sure to keep that in mind.
He sternly informs her.
You have my word, Merlin. Safe travels, dear friend.
Vivien kindly consoles and the tiny wizard chortles softly.
You too, my aquatic lake friend.
He said and as soon her voice vanishes from her mind, Merlin lifts his staff to the sky as dark cloud float above and his staff emits a bright white glow.
"By the power of the nature of the Avalon, I command you to unleashed a portal to Twisted Wonderland!" Merlin chants as thunder strikes at the staff and he slams the staff to the lake where a whirlpool swirls around the lake. Afterwards, Merlin covers his face with his hood and holds his staff tight.
"Here I come Sundrop and comrades. Merlin is returning home." He proclaims as Merlin swoops down to the portal where his travel back to Twisted Wonderland begins.

Back at Scarabia, Vivien lets out a sigh and lays her hand on her temple.
"Hurry Merlin, Sundrop, and her comrades...we don't have much time left...." Vivien mutters with emerald orbs gleam with hope concerning about the future.

Meanwhile at Jamil's room, the vice dorm leader is sitting on his bed letting out as sigh looking exasperated.
"Here he goes again, making decisions on his own. How hard is he going to make me work?" He mutters as clasps his fingers on his chin and furrows his brows.
"Crap...This is going to be harder. That cobra is much more sneakier than I thought." He mumbles before letting out a sigh once more.
"At least he's already asleep so there shouldn't be any more problems tonight." Jamil murmurs, but soon a knock is heard from his door causing Jamil to glance at the door.
"Who's there at this hour?..." Jamil mutters as he got up from the bed and saunters to the door to open revealing Azul, Floyd, Glory, Grim, Rapunzel, Cassandra, and Eugene.
"Top of the nighttime, Viper guy!" Eugene wittily greets him.
"Hi!" Rapunzel chirps.
"Sup." Cassandra greets him with her arms folded while plastering a smirk.
"Good evening, Jamil." Azul greets him with a kind smile.
"E~ve~ning~." Floyd sang merrily.
"We're coming in!" Grim yelps.
"Sorry for coming so late, Jamil." Glory apologizes with a bright innocent smile stunning yet irking Jamil.
"What do you want?" Jamil ask curiously with a skeptical look.
"I saw a never before seen board game earlier when Kalim gave us a tour of the treasure vault. Kalim tried explaining the rules, but I just couldn't grasp them." Azul explains.
"How do you play this game with a wooden board filled with holes and some gems?" Floyd ask curiously.
"Aaah, mancala...it's a popular game in the Land of Hot Sands." Jamil informs.
"I have to know about this as a member of the board game club. Would you care to go a few rounds with me?" Azul ask kindly with a smile.
"Me too, me too~ I wanna play with Sea Snake. Ah hah." Floyd cackles childishly.
"I, the Great Grim, will never back down from a challenge, y'know!" Grim declares.
"Heck yeah! I'm down for a board game like this!" Eugene chirps with a bold smirk.
"Count me in, I wanna see how this game goes." Cassandra chimes with Owl hooting in agreement.
"I'll participate too. It seems like it'll be a fun one." Rapunzel states with a grin and Pascal croaks gleefully.
"I'm quite curious too, so I'll participate as well." Glory chimes in as well. Jamil lays his hand under his chin pondering for a minute.
"...Kalim's asleep so I guess it's fine." Jamil mutters as he whips his head back to the group.
"Got it. Let's go to the lounge so we all have room." Jamil suggests.
"Great idea, everyone lets head out!" Glory chirps.
"Hai!" They all cheered as they all left Jamil's room and head straight to the lounge. While strolling through the halls, Glory thought about Vivien.
I wonder what Vivi is up to? I hope Merlin comes back soon because are going to get hectic by tomorrow....let's have fate guide us through this godawful turmoil.
Glory ponders hoping that her plan will work.
