Episode 4-35~37: Healing Jamil & Bitter Resentment
Meanwhile at the Scarabia dorm....
"Mmm...Uhh my head...." Glory mumbles as she slowly sits up while stroking the back of her head. Then Glory opens her eyes to find herself in a revealing bright red dress donning in a gold crown and a gold snake arm bracelet.
Aah shit. This is like Jasmine and Jafar all over again!!!
Glory mentally rants as she glances up to see the brainwashed Scarabia standing before her. Glory creases her brows at them.
Where am I?
She thought until something flashed before her mind when she remembered Jamil blasting her friends out with his magic before she was knocked unconscious.
"Speaking of Jafar...." Glory mutters and soon a subtle chuckle boomed across the room. Knowing who is was, Glory whips her head to the person next to him and that person is none only than the overbloted vice dorm leader himself, Jamil Viper.
"Pleasure to have you awaken, dear flower." Jamil coos with a smirk. Feeling her blood boiled and clenches her teeth as she grips her fists tight against the handles.
"...What have you done, Jamil...!?" Glory growls.
"Simple really. I have created our own empire where we could rule of our own." Jamil explains coolly.
"That still doesn't make me feel better, y'know!" Glory retorts with a glare.
"How temperamental." Jamil huffs as he leans to Glory where he gently grabs her right hand to gaze at the moonstone Opal tattoo.
"Though I must say, I'm quite impressed that you have possessed such power with the moonstone opal and the sundrop flower together." Jamil admits as he crept a smile while drawing his finger on to the moonstone.
"So that's how the moonstone Opal and the sundrop flower works Huh? Azul wasn't wrong about you. As expected from the future queen of Twisted Wonderland, who is Mother Gothel's reincarnation. Speaking of..." He then snaps his finger where a brainwashed Scarabia resident saunters over to Jamil and hands him a maroon pillow that has her dagger shocking the ravenette.
"My dagger!" She shrieks as Glory was about to grab her weapon, but Jamil grabs her dagger and examines it.
"This dagger known as the Excalibur. The same legendary sword that King Arthur himself once wield and the one that made you future queen in our world...." Jamil informs while examining the dagger before glancing at the ravenette.
"In fact, this sword was given to you by the Lake of the Lake known as Vivien, but the Excalibur only activates when you used that left hand of yours that contains the sundrop...."
Just before Jailm reaches her left hand, Glory quickly retreats her hand and stands up from her throne as she glares down at him.
"This is insane Jamil! This is not how freedom works! You're forcing everyone to obey you like mindless slaves!" Glory shouts. Jamil frowns at the brazen ravenette and stands up from his throne.
"It's what I always wanted in my life and I'm done being everyone's servant including that nuisance." Jamil retorts.
"Kalim is naive and reckless, yes. He unintentionally inflicts pain on you for your entire life and I get it. Nobody likes being a servant. It sucks and draining, but what you're doing isn't right either. You may have gotten what you wanted, but you're basically becoming a dictator at this point." Glory directly stated, but Jamil remains unfazed and folds his arms.
"You must understand, Glo-san. Everything I've done is for our sake. I got my freedom, I made you my sultana, and together, we become king and queen in Scarabia." He said before forming a subtle grin.
"Just like how you are destined to be." Jamil reassures, but Glory shakes her head at him.
"No Jamil, this isn't what I wanted. I never asked to be queen in the first place and your rule won't last long because the way you're changing things here is wrong too." Glory told him.
"Is that so?..." He inquires with a stoic look before whipping his head and sat back down to his throne.
"No matter, you will come to appreciate for the things that I've done for you." Jamil reassures b. Glory soon noticed Azul, the Leech twin brothers, Kalim, Iman, Grim, Vivien, Merlin, Rapunzel, Eugene, and Cassandra standing behind him. Happy and relieved to see them, Glory twirls his head back to Jamil who is sighing with relief.
"Aaaahh, I feel so refreshed. I've got an endless supply of magic." Jamil sighs with relief from his smile.
"As you wish, my master..."
"Sultan Jamil is the suitable sultan of Scarabia..."
"All hail, Sultan Jamil..."
All they praised to him enlightening the overblotted vice dorm.
"Haaahaha, that's right. Tell me more about myself." Jamil boasts.
"Master."
"Hm??"
Jamil spun back to Glory where she gazes at him pretending to be lovestruck.
"I never realized how..." Cue the the tucking her strand of hair trick.
"...incredibly handsome you are~." Glory compliments with a flirty smirk and from behind, cue the jaw drops from Kalim, Iman, and Grim like the genie from Aladdin with Eugene staring at her with a blank look.
"What?" Eugene utters.
"Oh shush! She's distracting him!" Merlin reassures them.
"He's right! Come you all let's quietly get in there!" Azul mutters as they all bob their heads and crept their way inside the lounge. While in the lounge, Jamil's face is froze with slight shock before forming an amused smirk.
Well that was quick and I was planning on figuring how to undo her immunity ability, but this will do...
He thought as he lets out a chuckle and stands up from his seat as he lets out a soft chuckle.
"Much better." Jamil said as he saunters to Glory and lifts her chin.
"Now tell me...my flower~. Tell me more about, myself." Jamil asks getting greedier with the praises Glory is giving.
"Mmmm you're tall, dark, and alluring genius." She coos laying her hand on his shoulder while caressing his left cheek with her left hand.
"And?" Jamil purrs while caressing her chin.
"You're a stunning being." Vivien said butting into the conversation.
"A stunning and smooth gentlemen indeed." Merlin chimes with a wide grin underneath his mustache.
"You're eyes are so angular, so intelligent." Jade praises with a mocking smile.
"Keep going." Jamil insists while smiling relishing from the compliments that he's receiving from his "sultana".
"So well dressed." Floyd chimes with a grin.
"You look strong, y'know!" Kalim chirps with a big smile.
"And cool!" Iman chimes.
"Oh wow, I'm spellbound." Cassandra sarcastically remarks as she rolls her eyes.
"Yeah, you go Jamil! Rock on for being an awesome king." Eugene sarcastically praises.
"And you're quite the bright individual." Rapunzel compliments with a grin.
"Hmm, what a wonderful compliment-! Geh! You! How did you all get back here!?" Jamil shrieks with a look of disbelief as releases Glory where he is shocked to see the gang arrived back at the dorm with a split second. Merlin shakes his head while tsking at him.
"Tsk, tsk. You should no better than flung them to the desert that was next to the river." Merlin wittily remarks.
"Vivi-chan and Merlin-sensei created a portal in the river that we all transported here." Kalim explains to him.
"Yeah and we could've done it without them." Rapunzel chimes with Pascal bobbing his head with a grin.
"Never underestimate a wizard and a lake goddess, child." Vivien coolly reminds him crossing her arms.
"And let's just say it was a shortcut of a journey." Eugene remarked with a smirk.
"Yup. And you're not gonna send us flying this time!" Floyd bellows.
"Yeah! Not when Vivi and Merlin are around!" Grim shouted.
"Tch is that so? Hmph."
Jamil spun his head to the tiny floating wizard.
"It's a pleasure to see you again, Merlin. Has your trip to Avalon a great break?" He asks mockingly her Merlin remains soon faced.
"It was fine until it was run short when I watched you unfold your calamity in this dorm from my crystal ball during my trip and I was informed about your huge mess by Vivien herself." Merlin quips.
"Regardless, that water portal that you've created was quite reliable than Kalim's magic. You have really strong and powerful allies you have, Glo-san." Jamil compliments as Glory folds her arms.
"Like I said before. Your rule won't last long, Jamil." Glory reminds him. Azul smirks and adjust his glasses.
"Hmmm. He seems to have nothing but contempt for your power." Azul assumes.
"Jamil...I finally understand how you really feel about me." Kalim admits as he opens his red eyes.
"You are without a doubt a cowardly traitor!" Kalim proclaims.
"Are you dumb?" He curtly retorts.
"You're the one who believed in me without an ounce of skepticism." Jamil points out firing back with truth bombs, but Kalim has no comment on his insult and glares at him.
"I challenge you for the seat of dorm head you stole and for you to release Glory-chan. I plan to take it back." Kalim declares.
"I stole it? Hmph! Big talk! Even though you're the one who stole everything from me!" Jamil retorts as huge bolt of emits through his body, but everyone including Glory dodged. Afterwards, Glory notices her dagger on the floor and the ravenette dashes to her dagger and grabs it on time before she runs to her friends and her mentors.
"You guys ok?" Glory asks curiously reaching a hand, but Azul puts a hand to her.
"We're fine, Glofish. I can stand up for myself." Azul reassures as he stands up for himself along with the twins.
"His magic is powerful!" Iman shrieks.
"Guards!" Jamil shouts as the brainwashed Scarabia residents came through the entrance near the lounge.
"Take out Gloriane! I'll deal with these fools here!" Jamil commands.
"As you wish master...." They all obliged as they raised their wands and charge at them, but not before Glory's hands glows blue and yellow.
"Not if I can help it!" Glory seethes as she lifts both of her hands in midair causing gold rocks to unleashed from the ground. Then she aims it to the Scarabia students where a few of them dodge shot them out with their magic. Vivien lifts her arms up.
"Kalim, your magic!" She orders.
"Right!" Kalim raised his pen to the ceiling.
"Oasis Maker!!" He chanted as the jewel glows. Outside, water flows from the river and hovers in the air where it flows inside the dorm. Back in the dorm, the water flows in the lounge where Vivien waves her arms gracefully as she aims her targets with water.
"Now's our chance guys!" Rapunzel shouts as she pulls out her frying pan.
"Right!" Cassandra and Eugene complied as they scamper through the lounge.
"Get them!!" Jamil demanded pointing his finger at them as the other brainwashed Scarabia students charge at the Rapunzel gang. Rapunzel leaps over and slams them one by one with her pan till most of them are knocked out. Then Eugene swiftly dodged the brainwashed students with ease. Another student came from behind and Vivien's eyes glow blue sensing the danger and turns her head.
"Captain, watch out!" She warns. Eugene blinks his eyes till he turns his head to see a student's pen glowing, but in a flash, Floyd swiftly punched the guy in the gut and flops down to the floor. The eel glance at the surprised captain with a deadly glare.
"Don't just stand there, stupid! Kick their asses!!" He bluntly snaps as Floyd turns around and throws his fists at them one by one. Eugene's jaw drop before frowning at the rude eel.
"Ok sourpuss." He grumbles with one guy creeping from behind, but Eugene punch him from behind. The captain crept a smirk.
"Try again, buddy." Eugene snarks. Soon his wife leaps in front of him and swung one student with a pan once more and falls flat to the floor. Rapunzel glance at her husband with a bright grin.
"Ready, honey?" She asks curling her brows.
"Already prepared, sunshine." Eugene replies as both the couple and Floyd fought the other brainwashed group of Scarabia students.
Another group of hypnotized students waved their pens and shoot magic at Cassandra, but the swordswoman dodge swiftly and punched them left and right with reflexes. Once they're defeated, Cassandra heard a faint scream as the swordswoman spun her head to see a duo of brainwashed students scrambling all over.
As they charge, the swordswoman squints her eyes at them till they ran her close till she kneels down and swings her leg over to their legs where they tripped to the floor. Cassandra rise up and pulls out her sword where another student crept behind her, but thanks to her self defense skills, she swiftly turns around and points her sword at him.
"Back up, creep!" She spat as she kicks his shin earning a groan and flops to the ground. He weakly roses up, but Cassandra points her sword at him.
"Stand down if you don't want to get stabbed." She threatens making him gulped. Elsewhere, Azul blast his wind magic with his pen with Jade knocking them out with his self defense skills.
"Oya Oya. How troublesome..." He calmly stated but with a cold expression.
"Jamil really knows what he's doing..." Azul said as he glance at Glory who blinds them with her sundrop flower power left and right.
"Hehehehe! Take that fools!! Don't underestimate me and my henchman!" He boasted while clinging on to her shoulder.
"Not your henchman!!" Glory shouts as he blast bright light at another brainwashed student. The other group of students charged towards Iman, but with a quick dash, Iman shoots a white hoop at the ground with his magic pen where all the students fell into the hole and the hole closed up.
Hopefully this reign will end soon...
He thought before was caught off guard when a brainwashed shoots his magic at him. Vivien gasps as her eyes glow blue once again.
"Octopus child, watch out!" She warns, but Jade pushed him out of the way right on time.
"I definitely don't need your help, Jade." Azul grunts.
"Oya. That's not how you show gratitude." Jade teases.
"Shut up." Azul retorts as he stands up and holds his pen.
"Let's finished this business once and for all." He orders he blast his wind magic at them while Jade sucker punched them with ease.
All of them brainwashed students charge at Merlin where the tiny wizard points his staff at them with a light glow emits from the tip.
"Summoning...White Thunder!!" He chanted as he blast lightening at them as all of them electrocuted and faints to the floor. Seeing his army defeated, Jamil gritted his teeth and slams his fist to the throne handle as a wave of magic emits his eyes.
"Everyone, get over here now!!" He ordered as more hypnotized students gather around from the entrance.
"Ughhh why more?!" Floyd complained.
"This is gonna take forever to knock them out!" Eugene whined.
"Not anymore you don't." Glory snarks as her left and right hands glow blue and yellow where the gold rocks crept from the ground once more. After that, she launched the rocks at them where it flows towards the brainwashed Scarabia residents, where the gold rocks completely blocked the students from entering the lounge.
"Whoa! Nice one henchmen!" Grim compliments with a grin.
"Well that's one way to deal with a bunch of brainwashed puppets." Eugene remarks.
"Definitely. It give us time to defeat Jamil." Jade points out. Soon Rapunzel and Cassandra are stood shellshocked by what they just witnessed.
"Glo...." Cassandra mutters.
"Cass...you saw what I saw a few minutes ago and just now?" Rapunzel asks and she bobs her head.
"Yeah..." Cassandra replies.
"Ugh! Enough of this!!" Jamil bellows as lighting strikes once more as he crept a smirk.
"It's time you had a taste of my true power!!" Jamil exclaims as he lets out a maniacal laughter.
Soon he unleashes his snake like braids at them, but Merlin floats front and points his staff where a white glow emits from his staff and a light barrier appeared blocking his attack causing it to reflect back to Jamil stunning him as he dodged both of his strands of hair.
"Waaaaaah!!!! Light shield!" Grim shrills.
"Plankton-chan's a powerful wizard!" Floyd comments.
"I told you not to call me that!" Merlin bellows with a tick mark throbbing from his head. As soon as the shield dissipates, Jamil flips his strand to the back and scowls at Merlin.
"You won't defeat me! I am the right ruler of Scarabia!" Jamil exclaims as he extends more of his snake like strands and charged it at him, but Glory gets in front of Merlin and extends her left hand to block his attack with her light magic blinding him.
"Ack!" He winces while covering his eyes with his arm. He immediately shakes his head to recover from the bright impact as he glares at Glory.
"Aaaah you little-!"
He soon blast another strand of his hair worrying the Rapunzel gang.
"Glory!!" Rapunzel and Eugene shrieks.
"Glo!" Cassandra shouts as she and the married couple dash to her, Vivien went in front of them.
"Huh? Vivi-!?"
"Patience Moonstone, Sunchild, and Captain." Vivien ceases them.
"But-!"
"No, let her." Azul assures as the trio turns to Azul as he adjusts his glasses.
"She knows what's she's doing." Azul told them with a serious look.
"Lionfish...?!" Floyd utters as he felt the urge to run over to her, but Jade puts an arm in front of him.
"No, Floyd. Let her do it." Jade reassures him.
"But Jade-!"
"Indeed...She's bringing him back to the light." Azul implies with a stern look reminiscing her words back at the Octavinelle dorm. Floyd staring at Glory with a worried look.
"Lionfish..." Floyd mutters with heterochromatic eyes glimmer with worry like he's a scared child.
"Bring him back to the light?" Iman mumbles curiously with a puzzled look.
"Glory-chan....." Kalim mutters as he watches Glory blocking his attack with her sword once more before launching it back to him. The ravenette then turns her head to Grim.
"Grim, go to Vivi." Glory ordered.
"Eeh?"
"Trust me Grim." She assured him. Grim stares at her for one minute before reluctantly leap off her shoulder scampers to the lake goddess. Afterwards, Glory saunters towards the corrupted Jamil.
"Enough Jamil, you can't keep doing this!" Glory bellowed while marching towards him.
"I won't!!!" Jamil roared as he unleashed his snake braids once more, but Glory's left hand glows yellow as her dagger transform into the Excalibur and sliced his snake like braids shocking Jamil once more. Then cue the cheerleading squad from Grim, Eugene, and Floyd.
"Rick 'em, rack 'em, rock 'em, rake. Stick that sword into that snake!" They all cheered, pissing the vice dorm leader off and spun his head at them.
"You stay out of this!!!" Jamil snapped with a scowl. All of them went blank and pull out their flags where they waved it so unenthusiastically.
"Jamil, Jamil, he's our man." Eugene sarcastically cheers.
"If he can't do it." Grim monotonously utters.
"GREAT!!" Floyd chirps sarcastically with a devious smirk pulling a thumbs up at him.
"Indeed." Jade agrees with a mocking smile.
Back to the battlefield, Glory lifts her sword with both hands where it emits a bright aura from the sundrop flower and the moonstone opal.
"Flower, gleam, and glow
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine...."
She chants as a burst of light and moon shines through her sword shocking the Scarabia duo.
"What once...was mine...." Glory utters once more where Rapunzel, Eugene, and Cassandra states with awe and shock as she looks back at the last time she used the two gems.
~~~~~~
"Bring back once was mine....
What was once...was mine...RAAAAAAHHH!!!"
~~~~~~
Soon she blinks her eyes back to reality.
"Glory...." She mutters as she and the others watches the future queen slamming her sword and points it at Jamil shocking both Vivien and Merlin.
"Everyone take cover!!!" Vivien warns.
"Duck now!!!" Merlin shouts as everyone runs and hides behind the corner, but peered their heads as they hear Glory letting out a war cry.
"YAAAAAAH!!!" She screeches as she fires a combined blast of sunlight and moonlight stunning the vice dorm as Jamil was flung to the wall.
"Gah!" He winces as Jamil falls to the floor whimpering in pain.
"Number...one..." He mutters while struggling to lift himself back up. Glory gave Jamil a sympathetic look as her sword reverts back to a dagger and marches over to the now vulnerable Jamil.
"I thought I could finally be free..." Jamil mumbles. As soon as he heard her footsteps, the weaken vice dorm lifts his head up to see Glory kneeling down to him and gently lays her hand on his left cheek.
"There is another way to be free, Jamil." She reassures while caressing his cheek with her thumb as Glory cups his cheeks and lifts his head to her.
"You don't have to be alone in this cruel world, Jamil. Because I'm gonna bring you back to the light where you came from..." She comforts him as Glory brings Jamil into a kiss shocking Jamil including Iman and Kalim.
"Gah?!" Iman shrills with his eyes widened.
"EEEEEHHHHHH?!?!" Kalim shrieks ruffling his hair with both of his hands dropping his jaw to the floor.
"Huh?!" Rapunzel gasps with a blush crept from her cheeks while shocked by what she just witnessed.
"WHAT IN THE WORLD?!" Cassandra yelps with her eyes widened.
"So that's what her unique magic is...." Eugene mutters with a sweatdrop.
"Yup." Merlin nonchalantly replies.
"Indeed." Vivien chimes calmly with a blank look.
"Considering the fact that I witnessed her unique magic just now, I'm so relieved that I didn't get her magic." Azul admits.
"That would be so cringy of you to do!" Floyd cackles.
"True, I wouldn't imagine the trouble of kissing men and women that I have to endure if I were in her shoes." Jade points out.
"Wait, THAT'S HER UNIQUE MAGIC!?!" Kalim shrieks staring at them with disbelief.
"Yup." Eugene casually told him.
"Like we said, indeed." Vivien and Merlin reminds him in unison. Soon Glory departs her lips away him leaving him a surprised mess as he took a deep breath and exhale out before performing her unique magic.
"Flower, gleam, and glow~."
She marvels gently as her left hand glows shocking both Kalim and Iman.
"Let..your power shine~."
Soon the light slowly engulfs Jamil stunning Kalim, Iman, and the Rapunzel gang.
"Ack! Jamil!?" Kalim shrieks freaking out as he witnessed her light engulfing the corrupted Jamil.
"The light...it's submerging him..." Iman mutters with a surprised yet amazed look before forming a smile at her as he remembered how healed her with her healing Incantation.
"Yet so beautiful..." Iman compliments with a warm smile.
"Raps, you don't do that right?" Eugene whispers.
"I don't, but this is quite rare..." Rapunzel said.
"Least it's working...." Cassandra points out.
"Always works like a charm, hasn't it?" Jade playfully asks.
"Ahaha Yup. Takes back memories." Floyd agrees as the twins glance at Azul, whose cheeks flushed red before adjusting his glasses.
"Don't tease me...!" He chides as he looks back at Glory where he smiles genuinely at her.
"Make the clock reverse...
Bring back what once was mine~."
As soon as the light engulfs his entire body, Jamil looks dumbfounded when watching her sing her healing incantation.
"Heal what has been hurt...
Change the Fates design....
Save what has been lost...
Bring back what once was mine~"
As soon as she sang the high note, black ooze starts to emit from his eyes, nose, and mouth shocking the group.
"Ack! Look!" Grim shrieks.
"Wha!? What's happening to Jamil!?" Kalim shrieks.
"Blot is coming out of his body..." Vivien told him.
"Blot..." Iman mutters.
"Come on, one more note to hit Sundrop." Merlin encourages her.
"What once was mine~..."
She marvels as her eyes glow white and lifts her head to the dark clouds that float around her.
"Glofish!!" Azul shouts with a worried look in his eyes. As soon as dark clouds float above Glory, everything went black.
~~~~~~~~
"Mmmm..."
Glory soon squints her eyelids before opening her eyes to find herself in a temple.
"Where am-."
"Jamil!"
Soon a voice of a child boomed in the room where Glory spun around to see a young happy Kalim facing a young Jamil.
This must be Jamil's past....
She thought as Glory stares the two children.
"Let's go hang out! Today's the day I beat you at this board game." Kalim pleads with a cheery grin making Glory giggled a bit.
He looks even cuter when he smiles as a child.
She thought smiling sweetly at the cheerful boy.
"Again?" Jamil sighs feeling very tired as Glory glance at the young Jamil, who shakes his head at him.
"Seriously, Kalim, I'm gonna own you every time. I'd wanna play something else..." Jamil groans. Soon his mother appeared behind his son.
"Hey, Jamil! Watch how you talk to Master Kalim!" She scolds and bonks his head.
"Ow!" He winces making Glory slightly grimace.
"Thank you for deeming our foolish son worthy of so much of your time, Master Kalim." Jamil's father praises him.
"To be treat your servants with noting but kindness without discrimination...This is surely the fruits of the master's superb upbringing." His mother marvels with a warm smile. Soon the scene vanishes leaving Glory staring at Jamil with solace.
He really doesn't want to be here....
She thought with empathetic grey eyes.
"My earliest memory is that of watching my parents how their heads in submission to Kalim and his parents....I loathed seeing them that." Jamil mutters with a tone of resentment. Soon another scene reappears before her where his parents as seen discussing the young Jamil in the halls.
"...Listen well, Jamil. Always make sure to keep a three to two losing streak. Don't just keep beating Master Kalim." Jamil's father advises.
"You're a very smart boy. So I'm sure you can imagine the position we're in...can't you?" Her mother reminds him. The young Jamil clench his fists and lower his head a little.
"...I understand." He reluctantly complies as the scene vanished once more leaving Glory staring intently at what she saw.
Why would you ever tell you son to hold back his strengths? A child should never hold back on the skills and talents they have.
She mentally thought with her grey eyes glimmer with empathy.
"Kalim's family is way above my own. So...that means he's above me. Therefore, whether it's grades, athletics, or games...I can never surpass Kalim. To keep pace with Kalim, I pretend to be incapable of anything." Jamil said as the next scene reappears the grown Kalim runs to Jamil with a peppy smile.
"Jamil! Look at this. I got the top rank in that dance competition! Ah Hah Hah! I did it. I won three to two in mancala which makes me the victor!" Kalim exclaims happily. Then the scene switches to the Scarabia lounge where Kalim is sitting next to Jamil.
"Since you helped me study for the magic history test I scored a 75! Eh? You got a 70? I see. Cheer up!" Kalim reassures beaming him with a smile while patting his back as the vision fades out.
"You haven't beaten me. I've been letting you win this whole time. With that damn air headed look. Pay attention, Mr. Oblivious!" Jamil seethes with a hint a venom in his tone. Then the scene switches to Kalim and Jamil again.
"I'm gonna be the Scarabia dorm head...? I don't really follow...but leave it to me! Right Jamil?!" Kalim chirps with a determined grin as Jamil lowers his head letting out a grimace. Then the scene switches to the office where Jamil is facing Crowley.
"Headmaster, why'd you make Kalim dorm head? He's not an excellent skilled wizard and he's still a sophomore. We've all got our hands full trying to cover for his mistakes." Jamil informs him.
"At Night Raven College it's not unheard of for dorm heads to still be in their sophomore year." Crowley explains.
"But..."
"Mr. Viper. In order to fulfill the requirements of education, a certain "something" is necessary. Mr. Asim's family was gracious enough to make a large donation. Therefore, in my position, my hands are tied. You're clever enough to know what that means, I'm sure you can understand." Crowley reassures as the scene fades away leaving Glory unfazed, but rather understanding.
It makes sense why his family would chose Kalim as dorm head. No wonder Jamil was desperate on trying to be free.
Glory thought empathetically understanding his point of view.
"Adults always say the same thing." Jamil stated.
"'I'm sure you understand'? Then who's going to try to understand me?" Jamil inquires. Soon a scene reappears before her when Kalim burst out from the lounge with his bubbly smile.
"We've gotta keep helping each other out, right, Jamil!?" Kalim chirps irking the vice dorm leader.
"Enough." Jamil grumbles.
"Jamil is the only one who'd never betray me." Kalim cheers breaking his cool exterior that he kept for so long and starts to retaliate.
"That's enough!!!" Jamil bellows.
"Kalim, as long as you're there, I...I'll have to live my life handing everything over to you!" Jamil rants.
"I...even I...want to be number one." Jamil mutters, but Glory could hear the pain from his tone where she feels nothing, but compassion and empathy in her eyes.
"You may be a servant, but you don't have to hide in the shadows anymore." Glory said as she crept a sweet smile.
"Because the light will always shines bright in your darkest times." She assures him sweetly as everything went dark again.
~~~~~~~~
"Jamil...Glory-chan...wake up please!!"
"Glofish...Glofish my siren, wake up!"
"Wake up my child!"
"Glo! Wake up!"
"Please Glory wake up!"
And with a flash a loud smack came from her ear as Glory widens her eyes and sprung up.
"Ack! I'm up!" Glory yelps as she caresses her left ear and turns her head to glance at Pascal.
"Jeez, Rapunzel wasn't wrong. You certainly pack a punch with that tongue." Glory remarks as the green chameleon smiles while croaking subtly at her. Then she turns her head to find herself surrounded by the Rapunzel gang, Grim, her mentors, Kalim, Iman, Azul, and the Leech brothers.
"Hey gu-."
"HENCHMAAAAN!!!!" Suddenly, Glory was tackled by Grim and lays on her stomach.
"Waaaaahhh! Henchmen! My henchman!!! I thought you're gonna diiiieee!!!" Grim wails bawling underneath her stomach.
"Grim..." Glory mutters blinking her eyes twice before forming a gentle smile and pats his head.
"Don't worry, Grim. I'm fine now." Glory reassures, but then...
"GLORY-CHAN/LIONFISH!!!"
"Oof!!" Glory winces as Floyd and Kalim tackled her one at a time as Floyd hugs her from the front and Kalim hugs her from the behind.
"Glory-chan! I'm so glad you're ok!!!" Kalim cries.
"I thought I lost you, Lionfish! Don't leave me!!" Floyd bawls laying his head sobbing underneath her shoulders. Glory giggles and smiles sweetly and hugs them both.
"Don't worry, guys. I'm alright. I'm not going anywhere." Glory reassures them while stroking Floyd's head motherly.
"Glo!" Cassandra then grabs Glory and pulls her into a tight embrace.
"Oh thank the suns and stars...You're okay!!" Cassandra weeps while hugging Glory like a kid dreading of losing her mother. Glory grins and hugs her back while stroking her head gently.
"It's okay, Cass. I'm fine and I'm not going anywhere. I promise you." Glory comforts her while embracing her making Kalim, Floyd, and Grim grinned sweetly at her.
"We all are." Iman said as all of them turn their heads to see him and the rest of the gang with relieved smiles.
"Thank the knights for having both you and Jamil safe and sound, Sundrop." Merlin stated with a bright smile underneath his mustache.
"Indeed, Merlin." Vivien agrees with a gentle smile.
"Glofish..." Azul mutters as he saunters to the young ravenette and kneels down to her level as he wraps his arms around her.
"I'm so that you're alright..." He mutters with a loving smile. Touched, Glory wraps her arms around his waist and smiles back.
"Thanks Azul." Glory said.
"Fufufu. Quite a worrier aren't you, Azul?" Jade teases with a sly grin making him flustered and buried his head on her shoulder.
"Not another word, Jade..." He muffles while heating up erupting subtle chuckles and giggles from everyone in the lounge.
"Ugh...Where am..." Soon they heard Jamil groaning softly as he slowly opened his eyes. Azul then releases her and turns to Jamil with a relieved smile.
"What a relief. We were able to bring back to your senses." Azul sighs with relief.
"Ffnaaa...That shadow beast is gonna be visiting my dreams..." Grim shudders.
"At least everyone here is safe and unharmed." Merlin points out.
"Ja...Jamil-! WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!" Soon Kalim swoops in and hugs Jamil.
"Baby otter, you're not using your words." Floyd stated.
"It seems he's forgotten all about that punch was talking about." Jade remarks with a smile.
"For sure." Cassandra casually chimes.
"You got that right, sister." Eugene agrees with a grin while his arms fold.
"But everything is all back to normal." Rapunzel chirps with a warm smile and Glory giggles softly.
"Besides, Kalim is too pure to do something violent." Glory points out.
"True." They all agreed.
"I'm so gwad you're awive...." Kalim whimpers while hugging him.
"...Why are you falling apart?...." Jamil asks with slight annoyance from his tone as Iman lets out a soft chuckle.
"Welcome back Jamil." Iman said with a grin yet Jamil is still unamused and lets out a sigh.
"I had, I had...*sniffs*. I had no idea how you felt this whole time. You-You've always, snif...Been carrying that weight, sob, I had no idea..." Kalim snivels.
"As a result, you went and cruelly betrayed Kalim." Azul points out.
"Yuuuup. Sea snake, you've been making a fool of Baby Otter this whoooole time without saying a word." Floyd nonchalantly chimes with a chill smile.
"You ninnies are making things worst y'know." Merlin bluntly remarks.
"That's Octavinelle for you." Glory sighs but smiles nevertheless.
"Typical them." Vivien causally remarks with a deadpan look.
"Agreed..." Rapunzel, Eugene, and Cassandra agrees with Pascal croaking and Owl hooting in agreement.
"Ahahah..." Iman chuckles with an awkward smile.
"You guys are worse at reading the room than I am, y'know!" Grim shrills.
"You're re-really a piece of work...but that doesn't change the fact you were helping me this whole time too." Kalim mutters.
"Kalim..." Jamil gazes at Kalim where he wipes his tears from his eyelids and glance at Jamil.
"That all ends today. You don't have to hold back because our parents' status or the master-servant relationship." Kalim reassures.
"Huh?" Jamil looks baffled creasing his brows as Kalim smiles softly at him.
"Starting today, let's become rivals, both aiming for number one without holding back. Let's be friends...As equals, Jamil." Kalim requests with a sweet smile. Jamil lays his hand under his chin.
"Friends...equals?...Hmm that's a very Kalim-like solution...." Jamil understood as he whips his head to Kalim.
"Then there's something I want to say, as equals." Jamil said as his resting-bitch face contorts into a frown.
"ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!" Jamil bellows baffling Kalim and Grim.
"Eh?" Kalim utters with his eyes widened.
"EEEEH!?" Grim shrieks.
"Welll that's something...." Eugene sarcastically said not surprised by what he said.
"Sssh! Quiet Eugene!!" Cassandra shushes.
"Thoughtless and flakey, stupid, clumsy, infuriatingly carefree and arrogant, completely lacking in any sort of tact!! Who in their right mind would be friends with someone like that of their own volition!? Unless it's in my interest I have no intention of spending of a second of my time with you!" Jamil sneers.
"Eh, eeeeeeeehhhhh!? What the heck!?" Kalim shrieks in disbelief.
"I knew he was going to say that..." Vivien remarks with a deadpan look.
"At least he's being honest." Rapunzel giggles softly with a gentle smile.
"We really busted open this can of worms, yet cutting Kalim to pieces with his words, y'know." Grim points out.
"And he's not holding back." Eugene mutters.
"But that's the Jamil we actually know." Glory reassures with a warm smile.
"Indeed. I much prefer this ruthless Jamil." Azul agrees with a grin as Jamil turns to Azul with a frown.
"What do you want? Your smirks is creepy." Jamil curtly jeers.
Actually, I've been very curious about you since we were freshmen." Azul told him.
"Huh?" Jamil looks confused.
"Please tell me you're actually making a deal with this guy...." Eugene dryly asks with a blank look as the calm twin eel chuckles softly.
"He may or may not." Jade told him with an ominous smile.
"You're not making it better...." Cassandra grumbles with Owl hooting in agreement.
"But I feel like Jamil is gonna reject his offer." Glory points out.
"Oh he will indeed, my child. Just you wait." Vivien implies.
"Because you never stood out I thought you were actually some frivolous student. Your grades in class and practical exams were nothing to be impressed with. At the same time, you never let your grades drop too far. In every subject you scored perfectly in the middle so I had a bunch that it was on purpose. There's no way something like that could happen by chance. So I thought there must be something forcing your hand but after listening to what my Glofish and her friends had to say it all made sense." Azul informs with a smile.
"Now I see. Azul, your grades in potions are top level, but it's faster to count from the bottom for your ranking in flying." Jade assures with a curt smile.
"Umm that might going a little far..." Iman assures with a sweatdrop.
"Playing mancala with you the other day is what really confirmed my suspicions. You stayed in complete control of the game so as to not put Floyd in a bad mood." Azul points out.
"What, you serious? You can do shit like that?" Floyd asks curiously with a smile.
"Someone was bound to notice if he kept losing and if he kept winning it would frustrate his opponents. So he'd back them into a corner then let them have a comeback victory to keep their spirits up. That's not something you could do with normal skill or patience." Azul explains more.
"He has a point there." Glory agreed with him.
"Yeah! Azul didn't hold back for a single moment and kicked my ass! It turns out my hunch was correct. Jamil's true potential is truly marvelous!" Azul chirps with a genuine smile.
"Right? Right? Isn't Jamil the best!" Kalim agrees with a big smile.
"You'd probably get along better with someone like me rather than Kalim. What do you think? Would you like to transfer to Octavinelle, then we can join forces and really make a name for ourselves." Azul persuades him.
"Absolutely not." Jamil curtly declines.
"See?" Vivien reminds them.
"Knew it." Cassandra curtly said.
"Yup." Eugene and Rapunzel agreed.
"The hell's up with you anyway. Do you get off on going on about other people's business...It stinks of shady shit! No way I'd want to be best buddies with you for the rest of my life." Jamil bluntly sneers.
"Oh my, he really let you have it." Jade remarks with a teasing smile.
"Hmhmhm...I don't mind. I've gained a new addition to my collection of secrets so I'll just leave it at that." Azul nonchalantly stated.
"Also known as: the collection of weaknesses." Floyd chimes.
"Hmph. Cant make use of some "secret" that the whole world already knows about. I'm not holding back anymore. Whether it's to Kalim, you guys or anyone, I'm not going to just hand over victory again." Jamil vows.
"Yeah! And I don't plan on losing!" Kalim cheerily proclaims.
"Was expecting that, but doesn't matter. This is the real Jamil that we're facing and I'm glad." She then beams a gentle radiant smile at him.
"Huh?...What are you talking about?" He asks curiously looking skeptical as the ravenette giggles.
"I'm glad to see you back to normal as the real you, Jamil. I'm so relieved that I brought you back to the light." Glory reassures beaming a gentle bright smile at him causing him to blink his eyes twice before thoughts starts to swirl around his mind from his overblot form to Glory kissing him, pulling her lips apart, and sang him the healing incantation song.
"Something crawled back to your mind, Snake child?" Vivien asks creasing her brows with a small smirk. Silent, Jamil covers his lips and spun his head to Glory.
"When you said "bring me back to the light", does that mean..."
"Yup. She kissed ya." Eugene directly told him with a smile.
"You've become part of the harem, boi." Merlin jokes with a wide smile shocking the vice dorm leader.
"What!?" Jamil shrieks.
"Eeh!?" Kalim shrills with eyes widened.
"Harem!?" Iman screeches, but both Cassandra and Glory bonked their heads to shut them up.
"Shaddup!" They both retaliated with Eugene large bumps swelling from their heads. Then Glory sighs and turns back to Jamil.
"Yes, I did kissed you. It was a unique magic of mine...it's called Restore with a Kiss." Glory told him causing Jamil to froze.
"....What?" He utters with a shock look.
"Basically, it's a combination of the mental healing ability and the healing incantation. How it works is when I come up to a person, like you for example, kiss you on the lips, pull them away, and I sang the healing incantation. Though it only works when someone is corrupted with magic based on negative emotions alone." Glory explains.
"Eeeeeh!?! That's how it works!?!" Kalim shrieks with a dumbfounded look.
"Holy Sevens...what the f@#k." Iman utters with an astonished look.
"Quite shocking isn't it?" Jade asks with a playful smile glancing at Azul, whom turns away in response.
"Do not think about reminding me about that, Jade!" Azul rants while turning away blushing.
"Hai, hai. As you wish, Azul." Jade complies with an amused smile deeply enjoying his reaction.
"And that makes you the fourth person that she kissed!" Floyd chirps with a cheery smile making Jamil flinched even more.
"Do you have to bring it up?" Grim asks dryly.
"Why he has to know the truth about your unique magic isn't it?" Jade asks with an amused smile.
"You guys are enjoying this too much." Cassandra bluntly retorts.
"Hmm do we?~" Floyd sang playfully tilting his head and glance at his twin brother.
"Maybe." Jade replies with a suspicious grin as both of them chuckle softly. Stunned yet speechless, Jamil covers his head and stands up from the floor.
"...Pardon me, I have to go somewhere real quick." Jamil politely said as he took off running leaving Kalim puzzled.
"Eeh? Jamil? Where you going!?" Kalim yells as he stands up as well.
"Nowhere!" Jamil shouts.
"But you're running to the other side of the hall!" Kalim yells as he runs after him.
"Kalim, don't follow me!" Jamil shouts.
"But Jamil-!"
"No-! Kalim! I said don't follow me!!" He bellows from the other side of the halls cueing the lighthearted laughter in the lounge.
"Welp. All ends that ends well." Rapunzel said with a smile.
"Indeed." Vivien agrees.
"Uugghhh. I'm already beat from this crazy nightmare already." Eugene yawns.
"Guess I should hit the hay too." Glory stated as she looks and Iman with a smile.
"Cuz tomorrow is the big day, right Iman?" She asks curiously and he bobs his head firmly and smiled back.
"Yeah!" Iman chirps.
"Aaaah are we going to the oasis tomorrow? So exciting~." Floyd cheers.
"Excellent idea, Floyd. We certainly need fresh air this year." Jade agrees with a smile panicking Azul.
"Ummm...yes." Azul mumbles feeling nervous about tomorrow, but Glory scoots over to Azul and pats his back.
"Don't worry Azul, you don't have force yourself to reveal your form tomorrow. I don't mind. You can always show your form to me when whenever you're comfortable." Glory whispers with a smile making Azul's heart slowly beat and nods his head.
"Thank you...Glofish." Azul replies smiling shyly while feeling her hand stroking his back gently.
"Ahem. While I'm glad to see that everyone is unharmed and Viper being back to normal, I am going to have a chat with him, Al-Asim, and Iman. Jamil is the exception since I informed him back at the stadium before the Magift Tournament started, but I am going to meet up with both you." Merlin informs puzzling the dirty blonde student.
"Hm? Me?" Iman asks curiously.
"Who am I referring too?" He sasses as he taps his staff and gets on his cloud. Then he turns to Iman.
"Now come along child. I need to find those two whippersnappers." Merlin insists.
"Uh yeah!" Iman said as he stands up and glance at Glory with a smile.
"Thank you Glory-san." He politely thanked her and bow his head as he turns to Merlin and follows him to find Jamil and Kalim.
"I'll be also take my leave as well, I have to be with Merlin for his discussion with the Scarabia dorm head and the vice dorm. Excuse me." Vivien politely bows and she saunters her way out to the lounge. After she left, Glory yawns and smiles as she stands up from the floor.
"Welp, time to hit the hay everyone!" Glory chirps.
"Right/Hai!!" They all chirped with a smiles as they all got up and head back to their rooms to get ready for tomorrow. But then Cassandra stands up from the floor.
"You guys can go without me, I need to have a chat with Glo privately." Cassandra said.
"Huh?" Glory utters with a puzzled look.
"My henchman? Gah!" Soon Grim was picked up by Eugene.
"Cmon kitty, time for bed." Eugene casually said.
"Wha?! I am not a cat!!!" Grim snaps while flailing his arms around.
"Now now, Seally, don't be like that. Time for bedtime!" Floyd childishly sang.
"We'll leave you too here." Jade reassures.
"Goodnight you two!" Azul said with a smile.
"And make sure you both get to sleep once you're done." Rapunzel reminds them.
"Got it!" Glory chirps.
"Crystal." Cassandra replies. As soon as everyone left the lounge, Glory and Cassandra are left alone.
"So what do you want to talk about, Cass?" Glory asks curiously. Cassandra takes a silent deep breath and exhale out through her nose before looking straight at the young ravenette.
"Glo..."
Soon Cassandra approaches her and lays a hand on her shoulder.
"It's great that you're alright and Jamil is back to normal..." Then she lays her hand on her chest,
"But I failed to protect you. Not as a knight, but as a friend as well." She said as Cassandra clenches her fist to her chest.
"I should've grab you one time before we all blasted to the desert..." Then she clench her teeth.
"That way, you don't have to force to be his queen...!" Cassandra grumbles, but Glory gently lays her hand on her right cheek.
"Hey, don't beat yourself up. It's not your fault. You and the others were trying to save me, that's all." Glory reassures her, but Cassandra shakes her head.
"No Glo. You don't understand. For the first time...I actually felt like I'm losing my mom again and I know you'd told me that you're not like my mom and I get it, but..."
Cassandra then lays her hand on her cheek with grey eyes gleam with affection.
"...I never felt this before. I raised by my adopted father for my whole life. All because my mom abandoned me and left me thinking that I wasn't good enough for her." She expresses with a hint of melancholy from her tone while caressing her cheek with her thumb.
"For my whole life, I tried so hard to prove to everyone that I'm more than just a handmaiden, yet I felt worthless..." Soon she stops caressing her cheek squinting eyes to suppress her tears.
"All I want is to find my own destiny and set out a path for myself, but I let my insecurities blind me from those needs." She told her. Remembering what happened in the finale of Tangled, Glory smiles warmly at Cassandra.
"...There is more in you, more than you have ever known." Glory told her stunning the ravenette as she looks back the reassuring words that Rapunzel said to her before defeating Zhan Tiri.
~~~~~
"Even when I look at you after everything that happens. No matter what we've done to each other, I still see that look in your eyes. You're my best friend, Cassandra and I will never give up on you because there is more in you, more than you have ever known."
Rapunzel reassures with a sweet smile.
~~~~~
Reminiscing back Rapunzel's reassurance, her eyes glimmer in admiration.
"Glo...." Cassandra mutters as Glory lays her hands on her shoulders while smiling gently at her.
"You did find your destiny, Cass. And you even traveled around the world so you're half way there. You earned the forgiveness from your loved ones through your words and actions. Hell, you been training as a combatant swordswoman throughout your life, have good reflexes and agility. That's something that Gothel couldn't do." Glory points out making her giggle slightly.
"But you got one thing right about me. I look like your mother, but I am most certainly not her." Glory reassures and Cassandra bobs her head as she lays her hand on her shoulder allowing Glory to caress her cheeks.
"That's why I'm telling you not to feel such guilt. Anything you do, anything you say isn't your fault. Everybody has their own flaws in their life and that's what makes them beautiful." She reassures as she kept caressing her cheeks like she's a mother figure.
"It's understandable that you want to protect those who are close to you, but you also matter too." Glory comforts causing her to widened her eyes while she gently caressing her cheeks in a gentle motherly manner.
"You're a strong, brave, smart, resourceful, and amazing woman, Cass. Protecting others is good, but you also need to remember that your well-being is important too. Because as your friend, I care for you and I want you to know that you're an individual too. So don't feel guilty about what you did cuz I'll always see you as my friend. Just like Rapunzel and Eugene." Glory heartens with a gentle smile. Touched by her sweet reassurance, Cassandra smiled warmly and crept her hand to her right.
"Meeting you really did changed everything. At first I was cautious about you when we all first got here, but..." She soon lets out a soft giggle and forms a gentle smile.
"I'm glad that you're not her...You really are a wonderful person, Glory." Cassandra compliments, but Glory shakes her head at her.
"Not just wonderful, Cass." Glory then pulls her into a sweet warm embrace.
"...We're both imperfectly wonderful." Glory coos into her ear with a sweet smile making her smiled back and wraps her arms around her shoulder. Soon they pull apart and smiled each other.
"Hey since we're here. I would like to show you tricks that I've learned back in Corona. After all, I am a swordwoman myself and Merlin did assign me and Raps to train you to control your powers." Cassandra suggests and Glory giggles and smiles gently at her.
"That would be awesome. Of course I will!" Glory chirps with a bright smile as Cassandra smiles back sharing their bonding moments together.
———————
During the nighttime, Vivien was in her room meditating until her eyes glow blue and a vision of Grim shuffling through the Scarabia lounge appeared in her mind.
~~~~~~~~
"Snif snif...Snif Snif..." Grim sniffs.
"A black rock...I can smell a black rock in this room, y'know...Hah!" Grim then picks up the black rock.
"There it is...I knew it...Kukuku...Heeheeheeheehee!!!" Grim snickers as he plops the rock into his mouth and swallow it whole as he lets out a sigh.
"This is spicy...but still has a mild richness about it...y'know." Grim marvels as he hums softly.
"Hmmm....I've already eaten it all. More...I want more black rocks, y'know...Heehee...." Grim cackles creepily.
~~~~~~~~
As soon as the vision ends, Vivien subtly gasps and sighs laying her hand on her chest.
I have a bad feeling about this.....
She thought with a dreaded look where things are going to get ugly in the future. Soon a lighthearted chortle came in the room causing Vivien to sweatdrop and glance to the right to see Merlin chortling under his breathe gazing at his crystal ball.
"Oh oh oh~ Where are ya up too, Dear Sundrop?" Merlin asks curiously.
I have a feeling that something might happened next....
Vivien thought with a deadpan look.
————————
Meanwhile at the halls, Glory was strolling down the halls to get some water where she thought about her private discussion with Cassandra.
Who knew that my favorite character would show concern for me?...But..it's nice that she cares for me.
She thought with a grin until...
"Hm? Glo-san...?"
"Huh?"
Glory then spun her head to see Jamil standing at the halls.
"Jamil...!" Glory mutters as Jamil saunters to her while the ravenette strokes the back of her head with an awkward look before glancing back at the vice dorm.
"What are you doing here?" Glory asks curiously while twirling the strand of her hair.
"I was about to go to the kitchen to get a glass of water." He avert his eyes awkwardly while stroking his neck before Jamil glance back at the ravenette.
"You?.." He asked curiously and Glory nods.
"Same with me." Glory replies looking pretty timid when facing Jamil.
"How's your private discussion with Merlin and Vivien?" Glory asks curiously.
"Well since I already know. Merlin wanted me to be there for Kalim and Iman so I would gave them the message for them...." Jamil explains as the flashback starts to flash.
~~~~~~~
Two hours ago at the halls....
"EEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHH!?!?!?! GLORY-CHAN'S THE FUTURE QUEEN OF OUR WORLD!?" Kalim shrieks grimacing Jamil and Iman including Merlin except for Vivien, who is unfazed by his reaction.
"Yes." Vivien causally replies to him with a blank look.
"She is and OW! My poor sensitive ears...!" Merlin screeches while drilling his pinky in his right ear from Kalim's loud screeching.
"Oh...Oh...OOOOOHHHHHHH!!!! THAT IS SO COOL!! Glory-chan's is going to be queen someday! Queen of our world! How awesome is that!?" Kalim cheers.
"Ugh yes, Kalim. We get it. Even I knew that from the beginning." Jamil curtly said rolling his eyes at him.
"Except there's one problem." Merlin implies.
"Eeh?" Kalim, Jamil, and Iman became puzzled.
"Not only she's Twisted Wonderland's future queen, but Sundrop is also connected to the moonstone opal." Merlin explains.
"Connected?" Iman and Kalim said in unison with a confused look.
"What do you mean by "connected" Merlin?" He asks curiously.
"Sundrop has reunited the two stones together last week. With the two stones together, she can gains the access to unleashed the ultimate power from both two powerful gems." Merlin explains.
"Whoa! That's so cool!" Kalim chirps with a big smile.
"So what's the bad news?" Iman asks curiously.
"The bad news is that Moonchild barely knows how to control the moonstone opal. She may have gain control over the moonstone opal tonight, but she must trained more on controlling her emotions so her power won't out of control." Vivien informs.
"Eeh?! Out of control?!" Kalim shrieks and they both nod.
"Correct, Al-Asim." Merlin replies.
"What happens if she loses control?" Jamil asks calmly.
"If she doesn't control her moonstone powers, then the rocks will destroy everything in our world." Vivien informs them shocking the trio.
"What?!" Kalim and Iman shrieked with shock looks.
"So that means..." Jamil utters.
"That's right, Snake child. All the homes, the places, and kingdoms that you all live in will be gone..." Vivien explains. Stunned, Jamil lays his hand on his forehead with a shock look on his face.
Unbelievable....
He ponders with an astonished expression.
"So wait, how did she became queen?" Iman asks curiously.
"I gave her the sword. Not only she does it save Leona, but I could see potential inside of her. She possessed a pure heart like Arthur and Rapunzel her." Vivien explains.
"Rapunzel? You mean the queen of Corona?" Kalim asks curiously.
"Yes. She told you an hour ago before I overblot." Jamil bluntly told him.
"Jamil. Do you know about Glory?" Iman asks curiously.
"I do." Jamil answers.
"He does. I told him along with the Savanaclaw dorm, Heartslabyul dorm, and Lilia back at the Magift Tournament few weeks ago. The reason I brought you three here privately because I want you two to keep this a secret and Crowley is also part of this secret too so please be wise to keep this secret shut." Merlin informs them.
"If this comes out, controversy will spread out through the campus and if you both let your tongues slip out..." Soon leans to Kalim, Iman, and Jamil flashing them with cold emerald orbs.
"I will not hesitate to drown you both into the lake where you will not able to breathe and see the light ever again, got it? That also includes you, Jamil, just in case if you need to be reminded." Vivien sternly instructs.
"I got that very clearly, ma'am." Jamil calmly replies trying to suppress his fear from the lake goddess.
"Yes Vivi-chan/Vivi-san!!!" Kalim and Iman quivers as Vivien bobs her head and leans back.
"Now that's over with, both you understand the situation as much as Jamil, correct?" Merlin reminds them.
"Yeah I got it." Kalim complies.
"Understood, sir." Iman bows his head at him. Merlin then turns to Jamil.
"And just in case if Kalim spills out the beans, I would like for you to keep an eye on him to keep his mouth shut. Understood?" Merlin suggests and Jamil nods his head firmly.
"I understand, Merlin-sensei." Jamil calmly replies.
~~~~~~~~~
"And that's how it went." Jamil explains with a stoic look leaving Glory sweatdropping from the explanation he told.
"Yeeeaaaahh...I wasn't too surprised since he does this with three dorms and now fourth." Glory said. Soon Jamil lets out a sigh.
"Can't believe that I've overbloted..." Jamil grumbles before squinting his eyes.
"Second of all, I just got back normal. All because of that kiss...." He mumbles as Jamil grabs his hood and covers his face with it so he could blush under it. Seeing how embarrassed he is, Glory gently lays a hand on his shoulder.
"Hey Jamil. I'm sorry that I kissed you, but I had to..." Soon Glory blushes.
"It's the only way for you to prevent you from drowning from your own-."
"I know..." Jamil curtly said as he brushes off her hand and uncovers his hood as folds his arms.
"You were trying to save me and I get it..." Jamil said as he lets out a sigh.
"I also need to say I'm sorry about what happened two hours ago. It was horrible of me to knock you out and imprisoned you and her friends." Jamil apologizes as he whips his head away from her.
"F#*k, I should've been rash with my magic before this happens...." He grumbles as he clench his fists.
"I just...wanted to be free from Kalim's shenanigans and enjoyed my time here in Night Raven, but that short lived..." Jamil rants as he clench his teeth with frustration in his eyes. Glory stared at him with sympathy.
"You can still show your talents and skills here. That's the reason why you're here, right?" Glory assumes.
"Huh?" Jamil perks up and stares at her with a baffled look. Glory clench both of her hands together before she continues talking.
"...I saw your background through my unique magic and I don't want to interfere with your personal life, but...your status don't matter to me." Glory reassured, leaving Jamil stunned.
"I know this is sudden, but if you ever need to take a break from working...you could always come to my dorm to relax." Glory advised with a warm smile. Though deeply touched, Jamil averts his eyes with guilt in his eyes.
"...I don't deserve your kindness...after everything I did." Jamil mutters with a shameful look in his eyes.
"I know you do...." Glory understood as she walks towards him and gently holds his hands together making Jamil lifting his head with a puzzled look.
"But the reason why I'm telling you this is because I like you." Glory told him subtly surprising him as he slowly widen his eyes.
"Like me?..." Jamil asks with a puzzled look and she nods with a smile.
"I do. From what I've seen, you have a lot of potential that no one else sees. You're smart, independent, thoughtful, talented, hardworking, and collected. Besides, that unique magic of yours reminds me how Jafar uses against the sultan. It was quite cool. Plus, Jafar is one of my favorites from the movies I watched." Glory expresses with a bright grin making Jamil blush a little and whip his head with a huff.
"Is that what you seen in me?" Jamil scoffs looking a bit flustered as she giggles softly.
"Not exactly, but more importantly..." Glory utters.
"Hm?" Jamil opens one eye as he sees the ravenette smiling radiantly at him.
"I want us to get to know each other more as friends because to me...you're more than just a servant." Glory then smiles sweetly at him.
"You'll always be number one in my eyes." Glory reassures him very sweetly. Deeply touched and moved by her sweet words and admiration towards him, Jamil pulls his hands away and turns his heels as he pulls back his hood again. Unbeknownst to her, Jamil is blushing feeling his heart racing in his chest before he lets out a sigh and takes off his hood. Then he reaches a hand to her.
"...Come on. I'll take you to the kitchen since we're both going at the same time." Jamil advises with Glory smiling gently and nods without question.
"Sure." Glory replies as she takes his hand where they both walk in the halls together.
The reincarnation of Mother Gothel Huh?...
Jamil thought curiously but forming a small grin.
Quite ironic how people deemed her as the next Gothel when she's actually a genuinely sweet girl. Not that I don't mind and she's not that bad...I may not succeed...
Then he glance at Glory while smiling warmly a bit.
But at least I got my flower. No...not just a flower. A cobra underneath the wildflower that brightens up my dark days....
Jamil ponders as the viper finally founds his flower that he could coil underneath to be with during his darkest hour in his life.
~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile at the other guest room, Merlin couldn't stop chortling for an hour enjoying the romantic moment between Glory and Jamil.
"Oh oh oh ohhh~! It's comfirmed! It's now on my list!" He chuckles.
"Glory and Jamil, sitting in the flying carpet. They have flown into my favorite ship!! Oh oh oh oh!!!" Merlin chortles lightheartedly. At the other side of room, poor Vivien was covering herself with a blanket completely deadpan at his antics in this point.
...No comment...
She thought as the lake goddess covers her entire face with her blanket where she went to sleep ignoring his hearty antics.
