Three-person POV

"Well then, we should probably get started on cleaning up the garden. Our photogenic garden is in ruins... I'm so sad." Cater whined.

"I'll help you out," Trey told Cater.

"Trey, carry Riddle to the infirmary." Cater pointed, "...He did overblot. He should be looked at by the nurse just to be safe."

"Mr. Diamond is right. I shall escort you there." Crowley said.

"...Alright. Thank you very much." Trey said.

Y/n stood up. "I and others will--" Before she could finish her sentence, Y/n's mind turned blank and almost fell on her back.

When Lucas saw Y/n is about to collapse, he quickly transformed into his human form. And catch Y/n before she hits the ground. "Mistress! Mistress wake up."

"What happened?" Crowley asked.

"Now this is! What I'm telling her, Y/n use too much of her aura... and that makes her pass out." Felix turned to Lucas, "Bring Y/n to the infirmary too, Lucas. We will handle the rest here."

"Got it!" Lucas carried Y/n as Trey, Riddle, and Crowley walked towards the infirmary.

"Ugh, I'm starving from using all that magic...Hm? This is..." Grim yelped, before time Grim noticed a black stone on the ground. "This is the same as the black magic crystal we found at Dwarfs' Mine."

"You're right! Where did it come from?" Deuce put his finger into the chin.

"Don't eat this one." Ace warned.

"I'll never forget that flavor! Don't mind if I do." Grim put the stone inside his mouth.

"Too late," Felix murmured.

"He already ate it!" Ace exclaimed.

"Uh, Grim, that's the kind of palette you have?" Cater was surprised.

"Waaahh~! It starts out with a rich sweetness and then finishes with the slightest hint of bitterness for an aromatic experience! This rock has its own unique flavor completely different from the last." Grim smiled.

"Your stomach can really handle that?" Olivia said as she poke Grim's stomach.

"This is becoming a bad habit for him." Celestia and Felix said in unison.

"He's a monster so his stomach is built differently than ours." Ace spoke.

"I don't think that makes eating stuff off the ground alright..." Deuce nagged.

"The lawn has a really refreshing flavor too if you give it a try," Grim said.

"Stop! That's not for eating." Deuce yelled.

"Oh... I can't... ...Thanks, everyone." Cater mumbled the last part. Ace, Deuce, and Grim didn't hear, but Y/n familiars did.

"Did you say something?" Ace turned to Cater with a question. Cater sniffed and cleaned his tongue.

"Nothing at all!"

Y/N POV

Memory Flashback

"Happy birthday, Y/n." A warm female voice showed up and set down next to me.

"Mom!?" I questioned.

Mother patted my head. "Sorry did I woke you up."

I gently shook my head and felt a little sleepy. "Hmmm... it's alright. Mommy, what are you doing?"

"I was thinking to give you my birthday." Mother smiled, "My gift isn't like any other gift, for what I am about to give you is the power and strength, to raise in the light once again."

"Power!?" I asked, titled my head.

"Yes! This power will protect you and everyone you love from evil and wicked things." Mother reached her left hand to me, and I didn't hesitate then accepted it by grabbing her hand. "Alright, stay still, my dear." Our hands started to glow like gold with purple through mother to me.

"WOW!?" I stare at our hands in wide open.

"Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may not agree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place." She said,

"Have courage and be kind... For where there is kindness there is goodness, and where there is goodness there is magic." She added.

"Mother! Do you think I can use wonderful magic like you?" I asked with peppy eyes.

"Do you believe in magic?"

"I do! Of course, I do believe."

"Then there's no doubt, you can also use amazing magic just like me, or even greater." She smiled, then she moved forward and kissed my forehead. "You should get some sleep, you're birthday party is tomorrow. You don't want to feel sleepy."

"Okay, mom. Goodnight." I said.

"Goodnight, my dear."

Flashback End

I slowly opened my eyes and the first thing, I saw was a ceiling colored brown and a white fan.

"W-Where am I?" I asked myself.

"You're awake!" A male voice appeared from my side, I gaze to my side to see Lucas in his human form.

"Lucas?...how long did I sleep?"

"Eight hours," Lucas replied.

"Eight... hours!?" I gently sit up. "I see,"

"Is there something wrong, Y/n?" Lucas asked as he noticed something odd. I slowly shook my head.

"hmmm... I'm fine." I respond, "So how is your training with grandpa?"

"King Shin is a great trainer for both human, and familiar. His teaching skills are amazing too. His majesty magic is on other levels, even stronger than your magic, my lady." Lucas explain.

"Well, grandpa was also mine and mother's trainer too. Seriously, the old man has always tricks on his sleeve, whenever I tried to win." I sighed.

Shortly after I start to feel a burn on my right hand, "Aaah!?" Lucas quickly raises from his seat and removes my gloves, showing the black moon mark on my right hand. The moon on my skin turned into white as the rest of my skin color turned to black, contrasting the color of the mark. However, before it could spread more Lucas used his water technic to stop the burning feeling, as the color black on my skin also stop.

"Princess, you should be more careful." Lucas said worried, "You still haven't fully control over the moon magic."

"Yeah, you're right. Thanks." I respond while putting the gloves back, 'I should train more if I want to control this power.'

"You change a bit in the past few days, my lady," Lucas said with a smile.

"I don't know, what do you mean?" I titled my head.

"I heard from Celestia, Felix, and Olivia that they saw you cry and feel worried about someone else than the five of us." Lucas set down on his chair, "Well, that's new right." I stared at Lucas wide open.

"I... I guess, your right. But the crying part isn't true the day when tears fell from my eyes. I felt... nothing, I don't even know why tears suddenly fell." I said. Soon the door suddenly opened two boys, a monster, and three familiars entered the room.

"Y/n!?" Ace and Deuce said in unison.

"My Lady! Thank the seven you awake." Celestia sighs in relief.

"How are you feeling?" Grim asked as a jumped in the bed.

"I am feeling great. Thank you for asking." I patted Grim then turned to everyone, "What happened when I was out?"

"Oh, nothing much." Ace said.

"We just clean up all the mess from the fight and-" Deuce cut off by Olivia.

"And this idiot here! Eat a black stone." Smoke coming out of her nose.

"HEY!?" Grim shouted.

"Black Stone!?" I titled my head.

"It's the same stone crystal! We found back at the dwarf mine." Felix answered. "For some reason, it suddenly appeared here at Night Raven College."

"I see!" I nod. 'I always wanted to learn about this black stone. But how will I get my hands on it, if Grim going to keep on eating them.' I thought to myself. Soon, the nurse entered the room and told me that 'I'm alright now and I can go back to my dorm. I stood up and everyone started to walk out of the nurse's room and we all head back to our dorm.

•◈──────◈✧✦✧◈──────◈•

After two days have passed, since the overblot from Riddle. I decided to visit Riddle in the Heartslabyul dorm and see how he is doing. While walking through the hallway, I saw Riddle making his tart in the kitchen.

'He sure is working hard.' I thought to myself, then I felt something hit my feet. When I looked down, I saw a hedgehog pushing a bag of flavor powder. I kneel one down and grab the flavor, "Here, let me help you."

The hedgehogs and I entered the room, where Riddle gave a surprising look on his face. "Y-Y/n? What are you doing here?"

"Checking on you." I put the powder down on the table.

"You don't have to do that." Riddle turned back to his baking. "You should take care of yourself more than anyone else."

I giggle a bit, "Is that so." I moved my attention to the tart that Riddle is cooking and realize something is off. "Riddle! Have you ever baked a tart before?"

"No, I haven't! But Trey give his book recipe to me, on how to make one?" Riddle turned to me and tilted his head. "Why do you ask?"

'Is it because you are putting oyster sauce in a tart right now.' I raised my eyebrow, then turned to Riddle. "Oh, nothing! It's just that...you are doing a great job." I pat his head as his face reddened at the action. He turned his face away, attempting to hide the blush on his face.

"I see!... Y/n, are you friends, with Kalim the dorm leader of Sarabia." Riddle asked as he turn back to me.

I nodded, "Yes, why do you ask?"

"He visited here yesterday," Riddle said and seems to be a bit terrified.

"Oh... He did? What did he say?" I asked.

"He threatened me not to hurt you or else it's off with my head. Or whatever that was about." Riddle sighed.

"Kalim, really say that," I said in shock. 'I didn't know, Kalim would say something like that.' I thought to myself, "I'm sure, he is just fooling around."

"But the way, he says it like he wants me dead," Riddle mumbled. "Maybe you're right." A few minutes later I pushed myself away from the table.

"I should head back to my dorm before one of my residents burn the dorm down... I let you finish your tart now. See you at the Unbirthday party." I waved my hand and left the room.

Riddle POV

'Why isn't she mad?' I thought to myself, as I continued to bake the tart. "After all the things I said to her and what I did. Why is she still kind, caring, and smiling while seeing me?"

"Maybe I should give her an apology gift." I stopped baking and put my index finger into my chin. "But...what should I give a girl?"

I looked up at the ceiling and didn't notice Cater entered the room. "Riddle! What are you doing?"

I changed my vision to him. "Huh!? Ah, Cater. I didn't see you there."

"Oya, Oya! Is the dorm leader thinking of someone?" Cater teasing me as a light blush on my face.

"Nonsense! By the way, Cater."

"Yes, dorm leader." I look at Cater and move away, three times before saying something.

"I-I-If you want t-to give s-someone a gift! What should it be?" I asked him with a light blush.

"Mmmh!?" Cater put his index finger into his chin, "Is that someone a girl or a boy?"

"That's out of the question." I crossed my arms.

"Okay, okay! Well... if it is a boy, I'll give him a watch, a bag or a phone. But if it is a girl, I'll give her either she wants a Jewelry, Chocolate, or Roses."

"Jewelry, Chocolate, or Roses?" I murmured under my breath.

"Why do you-"

"Thank you! Now I have a lot more to do. So if you excuse me... I have to finish this tart." I quickly said

"Y-yes, dorm leader! I'll be taking my leave." Cater grabs what he came for, then leaves the kitchen.
