When Y/n slowly opens her eyes, just to realizes that she has woken up in an unfamiliar place. The girl stands on her two feet and looks around the area, where there is only one door in front of her and a floor full of black water, the walls around her are red.

"W-where am I? Is this a dream?" Y/n asked herself a few minutes later Air was blown through her back, she turned her head only to see large bars. Big enough to lock up a giant inside, "What is that?"

"We met again." A female voice appeared inside the bars. "Chosen one."

Y/n took a step back as the form of the female voice appeared in the eyes of the girl. A black scale and purple eyes with purple frames dragon. "You... Moon dragon." Y/n stared at the dragon wide. 'This can't be happening; no one said anything. I can meet the moon dragon in person.'

The moon dragon let out a loud laugh and caused the girl to cover her ear. "For you to approach me again... What business brought you here this time?"

"Approach you again!? What do you mean? This is the first time I have met you" Y/n said curiously.

"Huh!?" The moon dragon stared at the girl in shock. 'What's this? Has this girl forgotten how we first met? Something must have damaged her memory zone, that let her forget we were met.' She sighs, 'And there is only one or three people who could do that.' 

"Never mind that! I'm sure, your memory will come back to you someday. Now, I can't help but notice that you are attempting to figure out your ancestor and the fight that happened 1, 000 years ago. " The moon dragon said.

"T-that is correct?" Y/n concerned. 'Why does her voice sound familiar?'

"If you want to know more about your family's history and what happened that day, go look for the black witch crown. When you have it, wear the crown on top of your head and it will show you the past." The moon dragon looks away, 'I only tell her this because she looks like an idiot running around as a rat-catching the cheese in the hole.'

"And where can I find this crown?"

"Well, that's, what you have to do alone? One, who also doesn't know, where it was. The crown of the black witch has been taken away by King Edward one of your ancestors and hide it somewhere far. For one shall never touch it, for the sake of those people who touch the crown will see and feel that happened in that day." The moon dragon said.

"So, all I have to do is to find that crown and I will see what happened 1,000 years ago," I said. "Simple as that"

"Yes, but I do warn you it is not 'simple as that' as it sounds chosen one. If I were you, I should find the crown before anyone does." The moon dragon informed.

"Wait. Based on the secret story of my family, weren't you Moon dragon created from 1, 000 years ago?" Y/n asked, "Why won't you just tell that happen?" The moon dragon sighed irritated.

"If I knew, then I should have already told you and... your mother." She mumbled the last part. "Anyways, you, who aren't the only ones trying to find the crown. But others, you know or not, also planning to get the same thing."

"I'll make sure to keep that in mind." Y/n nodded. "I'm sorry about my behavior and thank you."

"You are the strangest holder I ever met, indeed." The moon dragon said to herself.

"Moon dragon. If may I ask something?"

"You may speak. For one shall answer to the matter, which questions you want to know?" The moon dragon spoke, 'Make it easy and quickly, so I can go back to my nap.'

"Your name!?" With that, the moon dragon stared in shock as the girl asked. "I want to know what your name is?"

"You want to know my name?" Y/n nodded, and the moon dragon let out a laugh. "Fine, I shall tell you, my name. It's Bellarmine, the moon dragon, and control the power of night."

"It's nice to meet you, Bellarmine. My name is Y/n. I hope we get along well, in the future." Y/n said with a smile.

"Hmmm... There is still pain behind her smile, her heart is made of darkness, and her memories are still... Haunting." Bellamina mumbled with that, Y/n soon regained consciousness. Her eyes opened and started to look around to realize that she was at the infirmary. Grim jumped in the bed, the moment he saw Y/n's eyes open up.

"Ah, you're awake!" Grim said with a smile.

"... Huh?" Y/n slowly raised to a sitting position. "Why am I here?"

"You passed out in the second half of our match after Grim nailed you in the head with the disc. Do you remember?" Ace explained.

"Seriously, can you be more careful? Where you wave your magic?" Felix scolds Grim.

"I was trying to score with a super long shot," Grim said to Felix.

"I think, I remember it now," I said while placing my left hand on the forehead.

"Newbies shouldn't try stuff like that," Jack told them.

"Anyway, I'm glad you woke up," Deuce said, smiling. "We were really worried about where you got hit since you didn't wake up for so long."

"You've been sleeping so that the closing ceremony is long over, and they've already started dismantling the venue," Ace explained far more to Y/n.

'I was out for that long, so that means. She is already gone too. Damn it.' Y/n clenched her hand on the blanket. "Which dorm won?" Y/n asked, curious.

"The champion was Diasomnia." Leona's voice appeared on the left side of the clinic room.

"Uughh. In the end, we didn't stand a chance. The other dorms were all mess, so this year's tournament was a shit show." Ruggie said.

"Leona, Ruggie! Are you finally awake?" Jack said the two.

"Tch... I can't believe I'm using an infirmary bed for something other than a nap." Leona sighed.

"The fact that not a single person from Diasomnia is in here really ticks me off." Ruggie sighed, disappointed.

"I heard the rumors, but Diasomnia's dorm head is stupid good," Ace added.

"Yeah... It was something else." Deuce nodded.

"I wish we could've seen it," Olivia said.

"I totally get why, no one can imagine beating him." Ace sighed.

"Hmph. No one can win if they give up before they even try. I'm definitely going to beat Diasomnia next year. Without using underhanded tactics, only my own strength." Jack said pulling a fist.

"Hmph. 'Underhanded tactics' require one's own strength, y'know?" Leona huffed.

"Do you feel bad about this at all?" Celestia asked.

"You don't seem like you've learned your lesson..." Y/n sighed.

"Feel bad? What do I have to feel bad for? I gave my all to win this year. And I'll give it my all again next year." Leona smirked.

"Ah!! Is he planning to repeat a year?" Olivia asked.

"Shishishi! That's the Leona we know." Ruggie giggled.

"Now, I'm already worried about next year..." Jack mumbled.

"I'm gonna be in the tournament for real next year!" Grim said in excitement.

"We've gotta do our best to make sure we get a spot on the team next year, too," Deuce added.

"You're right. I don't wanna stand out for being dumb like this year." Ace nodded with a smile.

"Aah! Uncle! I found you!" A child suddenly entered the infirmary, and everyone's attention turned to the baby club.

"Hm? Who's this kid?" Lucas asked, curious.

"Uncle Leona!" The small child with red hair, and a lion's ear, ran towards Leona.

"Ah... crap. Another annoyance." Leona mumbled and felt annoyed by the baby club.

"Uncle... Leona?" Jack asks, confused.

"This furball is my brother's son, Cheka..." Leona sighed before he could continue. "... My nephew."

"Ne-nephew~~~!?" Everyone screamed in shock, except for Y/n who had already figured out the baby club was Leona's nephew because he kept on calling Leona's uncle.

"That means... He's the one who's next in line for the throne..." Ruggie stated still in shock.

"Your match was so cool, Uncle! Next time you're home you've gotta teach me magical shift!" Cheka said with a smile.

"I got it! I got it so don't go shouting in my ear." Leona told Cheka, "Where are your bodyguards? They're probably losing their minds looking for you."

"I couldn't wait to see you, so I left them behind. Hehe." Cheka giggled, while his tail waved in excitement.

"Uuh... umm. So, the root of all Leona's pain is..." Jack trailed off.

"An innocent angel...?" Celestia and Olivia said.

"He's really attached to him, y'know," Grim said.

"Shut up... Stop staring at me!" Leona growled.

"Hey, hey Uncle! When are you coming home? Next week? After that? Ah, have you read my letters?" Cheka bombards Leona with many questions.

"Ugh, I've told you already. I'll go home on holida- Ouch, hey, don't sit on my stomach!" Leona told Cheka as the little club set on top of Leona's stomach.

"H-he's just casually sitting on Leona's stomach!?" Jack mumbled in surprise.

"Pfft... Hahaha! This is rich." Ruggie laughed. "So, this is why Leona never wants to go home."

"Are you guys Leona's friends?" Cheka inquired while facing everyone.

"Heheheh. Yep, yep. We're your uncle's friends. Right, Uncle Leona!" Ace teasing Leona.

"U-uncle...! Ahahahaha! Owowowow, it hurts to laugh." Ruggie wheezed at the sight.

"Stop laughing, you bastards! I'll remember this for later!" Leona growled.

Click ~ Flash!

Everyone turned their heads at Y/n holding the ghost camera in her hands, she also asked HEUSC to take a picture as well. "Now that's just adorable."

"Oy, burn that picture. Herbivore." Leona shouted.

"EH!!! Send us a copy first, Y/n." Ace and Ruggie said as Y/n thumbs up.

The moment Cheka saw Y/n, his eyes lit up more as his mouth opened wild. "You are Princess Y/n of Andalasia," Cheka said while pointing his finger at the girl, then quickly jumped down from Leona and went to Y/n's bed. 

"You know, who I am?" She asked the little lion.

"Of course, I heard stories about you from the guard of the castle in the Sunset Savanna. The first young female warrior with long h/c and paired of c/e in black, defeated 300 monsters in the forbidden forest and the two-headed katana bounty hunter. Also, also the--"

"O-okay, that's enough, please." Y/n blushed in embarrassment.

"You defeated 300 MONSTERS AT A YOUNG AGE!!!" Ace, Deuce, Grim, Ruggie, and Jack shouted, while Leona just froze in shock.

"Um, it's 257 thousand monsters and 43 morals to be precise." She looks away, clearing her throat. 

"257 thousand monsters and 43 morals..." Ace and Deuce are about to pass out. Jack and Ruggie put their hands on their forehead as they started to feel dizzy about what they just heard.

"So, cool! You are super amazing." Chika complimented, then tagged on the girl's sleeve. "What can I call you big sis or auntie? Do you have a boyfriend? Are you also a student here like uncle?"

"Just how old is the kid? Asking the lady if she had a boyfriend." Felix murmured.

"You can call me, whatever you want Prince Cheka. No, I don't have any boyfriend and yes, I am a student here too." Y/n smiled.

"Oh~!! Big sis. How did you do the swing back there? Is it like or like that?" Cheka trying to copy the move she uses in the tournament. "Can you teach me how you did it?"

"It seems like you have a little fan, Y/n," Deuce said.

"You think so." Y/n patted Cheka's head, and Cheka gave a bright smile. Cheka gazed at Y/n's hand and saw a moon mark on her right hand.

"Ne, Big sis. Why do you have a moon drawing in your hand?" Cheka grabbed her wrist right and lifted it. Shortly her familiars just realized she wasn't wearing gloves.

"Y/n, where are your gloves?" Felix asked as Lucas and Olivia started to look for the gloves.

"They are here?" Y/n said to show them while holding her gloves.

"Say Y/n. Why did you draw a moon in your hand?" Ace asked.

"It is not a drawing. It's a seal, Ace."

"The moon seal of the moon dragon from Andalasia," Felix said.

"A seal!?" Deuce, Jack, and Ruggie questioned.

"Moon dragon!?" Cheka tilted his head, "What's that?"

"It's a magic symbol who uses that magic this seal is capable of locking anyone away. The story behind the seal is a slightly long one," Y/n said.

"Ooh, I love stories! Please tell us the story?!" Cheka said, excitedly.

"Cheka, behave yourself!" Leona growled.

"Alright. I don't know if the true story about it but this is how my kingdom tells the story." Everyone set on the other bed and stayed silent, Y/n summoned the book that was read it to her before. "Now, where do I begin?"

"The member of the family that came before me told us the book about the power of the sun and moon dragon. It tells us, that the magic of light and shadow that was given to us— wasn't a gift but a curse to be born to the holders. One can protect the world and one can destroy it. 
          It was said that this magic was designed by the greatest wizards and witches of Twisted Wonderland. Assembling the peace and balance between the humani and monsters. Regardless, this all started— when everything changed in one single day— when a mystic queen was crowned, she ruled the land with demons, monsters, and slaves of innocent people. Throughout the kingdoms, she is known for her black-blue aura, shapeshifting, spellcasting, and alchemy as the wicked sorceress. 

          She lived evil through her veins; everyone knew the queen of monsters was not just a woman but an evil fairy and a selfish one. They didn't consider twice to manipulate the people's minds, poisoning those who tried to betray her will, or stealing anyone's magic she found interesting. People despised and distressed the queen of monsters for a very long year. Even after, every wicked thing she has done this wasn't an acceptable amount for her. 
         She craves for more, something no one has, something she can only have— and that would be immortality in age and beauty. With the blood of innocent people in her land, she created an internal youth and drank her family bloodline for immortality life." 

 "EH!? That Queen is scary and terrible! What happened next!?" Cheka asked, tagging her sleeve. 

 "Ahhhh... Maybe when you didn't interrupt her, she has already told us." Leona scratches the back of his head. 

 "Please, continue. I would like to know what happened next?" Jack said, excitedly. 

 "Yeah, yeah. Please keep going." Ace and Deuce said, waving their hand toward her to continue. 

 "Alright, then," Y/n said. 

 "In the end, all of her wishes come true. All is according to her intent, she is invincible, mystic, and malicious." In the infirmary, a delightful laugh of evil was heard through the minds of the students and Cheka as they stared in horror. "For years, people have been tortured and played to entertain the queen as a weakling puppet. They knew this nightmare had to stop, once and for all— eventually, they asked themselves when will that day come? Where they could live in peace and don't have to be tortured day or night. 
          They waited and waited for days— for someone willing to save them from the mystic queen— after waiting for multiple years, the people started to be suspected there was no one brave enough to come and save them. All hope was soon lost in the people of an unknown and horrifying kingdom."

"Aw..." Cheka let out a sad sound.

"That is..." Deuce paused, with his shut-in terror, and opened them. "I can't imagine living in a kingdom in that such place. When every night and day you will always feel... scared." 

"Yeah, it's so beyond scary." Ace gazed at Y/n, "Are you even telling us about the story of your magic seal, or you are just trying to scare us to death?" The girl shut her eyes as she exhaled.

"Believe it or not. The story that I'm telling is the story that my ancestors passed down through the family to families." Y/n gives her answer.

"Can you at least, tell us were those people even able to escape that place?" Ruggie asked.

"Have they? Big sis?" Cheka inquired. Everyone waited for the girl to respond, as the silence continued to stay in the room. Her eyes opened and gazed at her hand which was the moon mark, half were white and black with her fingertips were also shaded in black.

"Hm— The populace and their civilization were indeed dead land, and their atmosphere is in each bad health and cold for someone to live in. With no hope or light to let them guide them back to reality— Even so, some attend to stay alive and continues to live their life. The day came when witches and wizards arrived at their Kingdom. 
         These witches and wizards all fought for the people's freedom from this unknown Kingdom, even though they didn't know anything about those witches and wizards. They still give everything they have to protect and save them from their so-called Her Majesty. On the day forward, people began to stand for what was right, for their freedom, and fight all sides with the great witches and wizards trying to protect them. 
          Be that as it may, the Queen is more powerful than any of them. So, the greatest witches and wizards created a seal, effective enough to lock her up for the greater good. They called it the Seventh Seal— Anything, or anyone can be taken away their existence by this world. However, to be sure that if these were to happen again, they slipped the magic into two kinds of power. 

The first magic that should be passed down to the older child of the family is the sun dragon, the magic is able to control the light magic. Light magic or you can say White magic is used to do good in the world— Light magic is often associated with goodness and positive outcomes. It's the ability to control elements, manipulate time, or read minds. Light/white magic could also enhance their physical attributes, making them stronger, faster, or more agile. It also may have healing properties, allowing humans or the species to recover quickly from injuries or illnesses at an accelerated rate.
         The second magic will be passed down to the second child of the family the moon dragon, the magic is able to control the shadow magic. Shadow magic or you can call it dark magic is often portrayed as a powerful and dangerous form of magic that harnesses negative energy and is commonly linked to evil intentions and destructive consequences. It may consume their soul or lead them down a path of darkness and despair. Dark magic can also be used to inflict harm on others, such as casting curses, summoning dark creatures, or manipulating the forces of nature for destructive purposes.

When they created the two magical dragons, there was a prophecy that warned everyone to be careful when making a careful choice before taking a move."

"Those great witches and wizards chose my family to control the magical dragons." Y/n shows them the moon mark, "As so you know, I was given the magic of the moon dragon, the symbol of the night for I am the second heir child. As for the sun dragon, it's a symbol of the daytime."

"Wow, that's amazing!!" Cheka said, with sparkling eyes.

"Y/n, do you know what the name of the wicked Queen is?" Ace asked.

"Yeah, you just called her mystic Queen and didn't mention her name?" Grim added.

"Well, that is because, in my kingdom, we are forbidden to speak her name," Y/n assured.

"Ah, why?" Cheka tilted his head.

"In Andalasia those who say the name of mystic Queen, think they are going to be cursed," Lucas answered. "In your hometown, you may know her as the black witch."

"THE BLACK WITCH IS YOUR MYSTIC QUEEN." Everyone screamed, except for the four familiars, Y/n and Leona.

"Y-y-you're saying that t-the mystic Queen and black witch are only one person," Ruggie said shaking a voice.

"Scary!!"

"Yeah, even how different the story goes in my homeland," Ace said, terrified.

"So, who held the power of the sun dragon? Herbivore," Leona asked.

"That would be the crown prince, Daisuke Kambe. Y/n's older brother." Felix answered Leona.

"So, he held the power of the daytime, right," Ruggie said.

"That's correct." The girl nodded.

"Alright, stories are over. It's time for you to be returned to your bodyguards." Leona told Cheka, as he got up from his bed. Before Cheka leaves the clinic, he runs toward Y/n and kisses her on the cheeks.

"It's nice meeting you, Big sis." Cheka smiled, "Can you tell me more stories when I visit again?"

Y/n patted Cheka's head, "Sure!" He then rushed to Jack and Ruggie waiting for the exit door. Leona was about to walk past the girl when he stopped to whisper.

"You control the moon dragon, and with the ability it can do so much destruction to someone like you. You are aware that the state you are in— is deeply dangerous. Herbivore."

"I am certain that I do. You don't need to worry about anything from me or my family." Y/n whispered back with a serious tone. Leona stared through her eyes doubting that she did, after he noticed how Y/n looked at the women in the crowd.

"Alright, time to go," Leona called out for Cheka, the baby club rushed to his uncle and grabbed his hand as they walked out of the room with two Savanaclaw residents.

"Bye-bye!" Cheka waved his hand.

"We should be heading back to our dorm too. Before the dorm head went crazy again." Ace said as Deuce followed him out. With that, everyone went back to their respective dormitories.

•◈──────◈✧✦✧◈──────◈•

In the Ramshackle Dorm, Y/n is taking a relaxing shower to wash all the dirt away. While Lucas, Felix, Celestia, and Olivia was already asleep in the shadow. As for Grim, he is...

"Are they here? In the bath?" Grim pushed his ear on the door and listened to the shower run. Assuming that Y/n is really taking a shower. "... Hee hee! Then... it's my favorite time!" Grim grabbed the black stone, which he hid from the others. "I snagged it from Savanaclaw Dorm without anyone noticing but... if this isn't candied then what the hell is it?" Grim shrugging, "Whatever! Finders' keepers, loser's weepers! Time to dig in!" He consumed the stone inside his mouth. 

"Yum~! This has got a mature taste with a unique bitterness and a little bit of spice that makes my tongue tingle! Such a waste that humans will never be able to enjoy this." Soon Grim let out a yawn. "I'm always sleepy after a good meal. Mmya mmya..." After Y/n is done with her shower, she changes into her nightgown and goes out of the bathroom to the bedroom.
