Meanwhile at Scarabia, Glory is texting Ace and Deuce about their situation while Grim is stuffing his face with food. Once she finishes texting him, she sends the message to both of them.

"That should do it." Glory mutters. Cassandra, Owl, and Eugene peer behind the ravenette with curious looks.

"You're sending a message to one of your friends?" Cassandra ask curiously with Owl tilting his head at her phone.

"Ace and Deuce told me that I could call them when I need them, so I'm giving them a reminder about our situation." Glory reassures them.

"Aaah Gotcha." Eugene understood.

"Let's hope that these two would show up." Rapunzel guesses with Pascal mumbling under his breath lying his head on her shoulder.

"I highly doubt that, Sun child. Heart child and Spade child will be arriving in a long time." Vivien bluntly retorts; much to their dismay.

"Fantastic." Cassandra sarcastically snarks with Owl hooting in agreement. Soon they spun their heads to see Grim still devouring his breakfast.

"I don't wanna be stuck in the prison life for another second. It pains me to admit that the food here is really good!" Grim chirps.

"Prison life? I don't follow, but I'm happy that you enjoy the food. Right, Iman?" Kalim ask curiously whipping his head to the dirty blonde student with a bright smile. Iman looked hesitant as he bit his lip before he replies.

"...Right." He reluctantly agrees. Kalim chuckles and spun his head to Glory and the group.

"Have as much as you want! Today we have blue cheese made from cow's milk, make sure to get some of that on crackers." Kalim announces with Glory and the group smiling back at him.

"Thanks, Kalim." Glory said with a grin.

"Eeeh...I'm over crackers." Grim mumbles, but Kalim didn't hear a word he said and picks up the cracker to swear some blue cheese on it.

"Don't be shy. Ah ha ha!" Kalim chuckles as he shoves the cracker filled with blue cheese to Grim's mouth.

"Mmggahmm! Hhgghh!" Grim muffles as he is on the verge of puking causing Glory, Rapunzel, and her friends to sweatdrop.

"Umm Kalim...I think Grim doesn't like blue cheese..." Glory warns him.

"And he looks like he's about to pass out..." Rapunzel points out.

"She's right, Kalim. Don't force feed Grim too much. You're going to make him choke." Jamil reminds him.

"Oops, take your time. There's plenty of food." Kalim reassures as Grim munches his food and let's out a gulp.

"That's not the problem here..." Grim mumbles.

"We have some ice cream left over from yesterday to have for dessert. Lining up a bunch of different flavors and getting as many as you can onto your spoon is "Kalim-style"." Kalim informs.

"Huh?" Rapuzndl and Eugene looked confused as Cassandra curls her brows at the peppy dorm head.

"Kalim-what?" Cassandra utters with a puzzled look.

"As many as you can...on your spoon?" Grim guesses.

"Yep Yep. You always have room for dessert right? I'll be right back with it so give me a sec." Kalim assures them.

"Wait, you're leaving right now?" Glory ask curiously.

"Kalim, wait. I'll go get it so you just wait here." Jamil insists.

"I'm fine. All I have to do is take it out of the fridge, right?" Kalim inquires.

"Idiot. What kind of servant would let their master work? Have more respect for your place in the Asim family. Your father would be furious if he found out." Jamil informs, but Kalim shakes his head.

"Jamil, you're always so serious. It's fine. We are students together at school right now." Kalim reassures as Jamil lets out a sigh and spun his head back to Kalim.

"Then how about I get it in dishes and you help me carry it out?" Jamil suggests,

"That works for me!" Kalim chirps brightly. Grim in leans to Glory's ear.

"Ok, I am literally freaking out here. Have you guys planned a strategy on how we get the hell out of this hellhole?" Grim whispers and Glory turns her waist to Grim.

"Not yet, Grim. We still need more time to come up with a plan." Glory mutters.

"Hm? Something wrong?" Kalim ask staring at the duo as both of them spun their heads to Kalim.

"Aah! No! Nothing at all, Kalim!" Glory reassures.

"Yeah!" Grim chimes.

"Okay! We'll be right back with it!" Kalim said as he scampers out of the lounge.

"...Now I'm really confused. This Kalim doesn't really listen to others." Grim said.

"He was hypnotized goddamnit. What else is there to say?" Eugene retorts.

"True, but he isn't a bad guy." Rapunzel points out.

"Kalim's an overall nice guy, but he also lacks awareness and gets distracted easily. That's one single flaw he has." Glory added.

"Not to mentioned reckless." Cassandra bluntly chimes. Jamil squints his eyes with suspicion clearly knowing they are hiding something and this had Iman gulping silently. Vivien can feel Jamil's skeptical gaze glance back at the group.

"Psst hey. Now's not the time to discuss this. Jamil is standing behind us." Vivien reminds flinching they group.

"Sh#t! You're right!" Grim shrieks. Soon they heard footsteps.

"Speaking of time, here comes desert boy." Eugene whispers as Glory and the group spun their heads to see Kalim, but this time his red pupils are back. Glory and the others widened their eyes.

"Oh no..." Eugene mutters.

"Yup. Here comes his tyrant mode." Cassandra mutters. Rapunzel whips her head to Vivien with a concern look.

"Is this what you saw Vivi?" She ask curiously and Vivien nods.

"Indeed. This is what is about to happened." She informs as they watched Kalim silently before he speaks.

"Hey, you all...HOW LONG DO YOU PLAN TO SIT AROUND STUFFING YOUR FACES!? DO YOU PRESUME TO BECOME KINGS!?" Kalim bellows shocking everyone in the lounge.

"Whaaaaaat!?!?" They all shrieked at his sudden outburst except for Glory, Vivien, Rapunzel, Eugene, and Cassandra.

"Clean this mess up! It's time for afternoon training!" Kalim demands making the Scarabia residents stayed silent for a minute before they reluctantly complied his demand.

"Ye-Yessir!"

"Eeek! Now we're back with scary Kalim!" Grim shrieks while shuddering behind Cassandra. Kalim then turns to Glory's group.

"I won't let you escape. We'll be practicing defensive spells until evening. Get out to the courtyard!" He demands mercilessly. Glory squints her eyes furrowing her brows.

This goes way beyond "emotionally unstable"!

Glory thought as glance at Jamil.

Hmmm...if I have to get answers, then I have to slither my way to the viper's territory....

She ponders as Glory stares at him with cunning grey orbs causing Jamil blink his eyes before furrowing his brows.

She's on to me...I better rap up my plan fast by tomorrow!

Jamil ponders furrowing at the ravenette with their eyes lock to one another as lighting sparks between the two where the internal tension between the Sundrop flower and the viper is on the verge to begin.

~~~~~~~
Meanwhile at Avalon, Merlin is floating pass the graves where he gazes at them with sympathetic looks.

"My my, it's been awhile since the last time I arrived here..." He mutters as he lets out a sigh until he spotted his late friend's grave.

Speaking of which, here he is lying where he was buried...

Soon Merlin perked a warm smile.

"Hello Arthur. I'm back." Merlin mutters as he floats his way towards Arthur's grave.

~~~~~~~

Hours have passed and it's nighttime where the Scarabia students locked the door from the guest room.

"...Okay, we made sure those guys from Ramshackle dorm are locked up tight in here." The Scarabia informs.

"Let's continue our guard rotation." The second Scarabia assures.

"There's a lot of residents trying to run away...Kalim is furious. Apparently, he's not listening to Jamil's advice either." The Scarabia resident mutters.

"How long will things go on like this? ...I wanna go home." He whimpers.

"Stop your whining. I'd much rather be home with my family too..." The first Scarabia resident retorts as both of them saunter away from the door. Meanwhile inside at the guest room, Rapunzel, Cassandra, Vivien, Eugene, and Grim lean their ears against the door to hear their footsteps fainted away.

"...Did the night watchers move on?" Grim whispers.

"Yup. Sounds like it." Cassandra replies as Grim lets out a groan.

"We got worked so hard I thought I'd lose my lunch this afternoon." Grim whines.

"Well the headmaster isn't coming out our rescue either because he's a useless piece of bird poop, so it's up to us to figure the problem ourselves." Cassandra said.

"Moonstone is right. We have no choice but to handle this ourselves and to prevent Jamil from overthrowing Kalim." Vivien informs and soon Grim lets out a chuckle.

"Which is why I went out of my way to come up with a foolproof escape plan." Grim boasts as Rapunzel curls her brows at him.

"Such as?" She inquires.

"Listen and be astonished. I grabbed the most important item for our escape during lunch today. Look at this!!" Grim cheers as he pulls out a spoon from behind.

"A spoon? What does that have to do with this?" Rapunzel ask with a puzzled look.

"He's going to use this spoon to dig us way out of the guest room, but I must ask. Do you really believe this will get us out of here that quickly?" Vivien questions him.

"Yeah, you gonna need more than just one spoon to get yourself out of here." Cassandra bluntly informs.

"Hehehe. Don't worry, Cass! With this spoon, we'll dig out way through the floor, bit by bit!" Grim chirps, but Eugene wasn't impressed by this and face palms.

"Seriously? That's gonna waste our time. How do you call this "foolproof"?" Eugene ask with a skeptical look.

"Calm down, Eugene. I got this, I was called the burrowing escape artist back home. You keep a look out so we don't get caught!" Grim chirps, but neither of them believe or agree with his plan.

"I highly doubt that might work considering the fact that it will take hours to get this hole dug." Vivien retorts.

"Oh come on, Vivi! Just trust me on this one! I promise you, it will work!" Grim reassures with the lake goddess letting out a sigh.

"Do whatever you want then." Vivien assures as Grim smiles and grips his spoon.

"Don't worry guys, I got this!" Grim boasts as he runs over to the door and starts digging. On the other hand, Rapunzel, Eugene, and Cassandra glance at Vivien with deadpan and skeptical looks.

"This is gonna take awhile." Eugene bluntly remarks.

"I have to agree..." Rapunzel mutters with an unsure look as Pascal lets out a croak.

"Oh yes and I predict that Grim will get bored for two hours and one of us has to take over his job, but the next hour later the night watchers will return and all of us have to go to bed immediately." Vivien assumes making Cassandra rolling her eyes and groan.

"Greaaaat...." Cassandra sarcastically grumbles with Owl hooting and shakes his head.

One hour later....

"It's easier to dig than it appears! This is gonna work, y'know." Grim reassures with a smile as Vivien, Rapunzel, and Eugene stare at Grim with deadpan looks.

"Suuuurrrre..." They all muttered with skepticism and sarcasm from their tones.

Next hour later....

While Grim is digging, Eugene whips his head to his wife where she plasters a worried look as she lowers her head to her knees. Concerned, Eugene wraps an arm around her shoulder and kisses her head while caressing her arm.

"Everything will be fine,

"Digging is too mindless, I'm bored..." He whines and whips his head to Vivien and the others.

"Someone switch with me, I'll take the next watch." Grim informs.

"Annnnnd there's our cue." Eugene dryly points out with Cassandra letting out a sigh and rolls her eyes.

"Fine, I'll do it." Cassandra said as she stands up from the floor and grabs the spoon where she and Grim switched places.

Another hour later....

While Cassandra is digging and Grim is keeping an eye out for the night watchers as he peers from the crack of the door, Grim flinches when he saw two shadows crept from the halls.

"Crap!" Grim shrieks and scurries back to Cassandra.

"The night watch is back!" Grim shouts.

"Oh wow, I'm shocked." Eugene sarcastically remarks as he and the others aware of that thanks to Vivi's future vision with the raven haired swordswoman clicking her tongue.

"Tch, knew it." Cassandra grumbles and drops the spoon as she climbs up from the surface. Rapunzel, Vivien, and Eugene rise up and saunters where Rapunzel reached a hand for Cassandra to grab and Rapunzel pulls her out. Once she's out, Cassandra glance at Rapunzel and the others with a serious look.

"We gotta get to bed." Cassandra told them.

"Hurry, pretend to be asleep!" Grim shouts and they all nod firmly where everyone shut their eyes.

———————

The next day later, it was morning and everyone woke up with groggy looks.

"Ugh my head..." Eugene groans laying his hand on his forehead.

"We didn't get enough sleep last night..." Rapunzel mumbles.

"Still, we managed to dig out the hole so far." Vivien points out.

"Jeez, my hands were tired from all that digging...." Cassandra complains.

"I'll say. We dug all night and the hole is finally big enough I can fit my arms through." Grim mutters.

"Even though we made great progress so far, there's absolutely no way we would finished by the next night." Rapunzel assumes furrowing her brows and lays her hand under her chin as she thought about their plan until a boom came across from the door. They all spun their heads to see Iman at the door.

"Iman!" Rapunzel yelps.

"No time to chat! It's time for the morning routine. We're marching to the East Oasis again!" He informs.

"Ughh here we go again..." Eugene mumbles as Cassandra rolls her eyes and sighs.

"Well...it's get to it, shall we?" Vivien reminds glancing at the queen as she firmly nods and pumps her fists.

"Right!" Rapunzel boldly declares with determination in her green eyes.

"Greeeaaaat." Grim, Eugene, and Cassandra groaned.

"Come on, let's go! We don't want Kalim to go "berserk", right?" Iman reminds sending air quotations as they all sighed and nod.

"Right." They all replied in unison as Iman takes Grim, Vivien, Rapunzel, Eugene, and Cassandra out of the guest room and head straight outside to begin their march for the second time.

~~~~~~~~
Later at the desert, Glory walks up to the gang in her maroon Arabic dress but this time she's is covered with golden jewels.

"Nice outfit." Eugene compliments as Glory let's out a sigh.

"At least it's not as revealing like yesterday..." Glory points out.

"Good point." Cassandra agrees.

"Yeah, you look better in this one. It suits you." Rapunzel praises with Pascal bobbing his head with a grin. Glory giggles softly and smiles softly at them.

"Thanks guys." She thanked them.

"Sunflower, my love. It's time!" The hypnotized Kalim reminds and she turns her head to Kalim.

"Coming, Kalim!" Glory shouts as she whips her head to Rapunzel and the gang.

"I gotta go now." Glory said and they all nod.

"Be strong, Moonchild." Vivien reassures and Glory nods her head with a grin.

"I will Vivi, thanks." Glory replies as she marches passes Jamil where Glory gave him a dead serious dagger and whips away. Once she saunters to Kalim, she grabs his hand and he lifts her up to the hypnotized Kalim where she grabs his hand and he pulls up over the elephant. Then Kalim turns to his Scarabia members with serious daggers.

"Wipe that sleep look off your faces! Our march to East Oasis begins now!" Kalim bellows with his arms crossed.

"I didn't sleep enough and this heat is killing me...." Grim whines.

"Psst! Hang in there, Grim!" Eugene whispers, but Jamil heard everything from them and spun around to the group.

"Didn't get enough? Well make sure you drink plenty of water so you don't collapse." He informs.

"Jamil....Got it. I'll be careful..." Grim mutters.

"Come on let's get going." Rapunzel said.

"Right." They all nod with Iman who is standing behind them with a grimace look where their second march begins...
