《Winter Wonderland》The Schemer of the Scalding Sands: part 14

Yuuna's dreamworld
"The skies are so dark and ominous..." Yuuna mumbled, looking around. She saw someone who looked like the sorcerer of the sands, standing on top of someone.
"Genie, stop!" a male voice called out.
Yuuna eyes widen at the sight of a large blue giant (ahem, let me correct. It's a large blue genie. There is a difference. Giants are not real) (P.S, it's a line from the live action so don't get angry at me)
The large blue genie was looking remorseful. "Sorry Kid I've got a new master now" the genie said.
"Kneel and pay tribute to the great sorcerer Jafar!" the soreror demanded, using magic to force the princess and the former sultan to their knees. "Now, where were we? Ah,yes- abject humiliation!"
Yuuna covered her eyes when a sand covered her vision as the scene changed.
"He is no prince, and that's a fact" Jafar spat out, shoving the princess away from the fake prince. "Now that he's unmasked, do you recognize your prince? It's Aladdin! His punishment?"
The scene shifted again.
"Eternal banishment...from this life!" he swung his snake snaff like a golft club, using his magic to send the palace tower like a rocket ship. "Farewell, 'Prince Ali'!"
The smoke allowed Yuuna, causing her to shield herself. When her vision cleared, she let out a horrified gasp at the sight in front of her.
"W-wha..." all Yuuna saw was mass destruction.
"Is seems that the stars have decided for you to find out what happened 500 years ago" a female voice called out.
"What? Who are you?" Yuuna asked, backing up a bit, but tripped over a rock. "itai!" she winced.
Yuuna's chin was lifted up to see a powerful-looking woman in front of her. "It seems that the stars were right. You are a descendent of the Enchantress"
"What? B-but what does showing this scene...relate to my ancestory?" Yuuna asked.
"Well, you are seeing what happened 500 hundred years ago. I'm showing you this for you to have a better understanding of Y/n" the woman said.
"Who are you? How do you know [nickname]?" Yuuna asked.
The women stared at Yuuna, intrigued about how close Y/n was with Yuuna to be able to call each other nicknames. "Y/n is my niece. And as for my name...you can call me Zadkiel"
"Zadkiel?" Yuuna mumbled. "Like the-"
"Argh!!" a voice screamed in pain.
"!!" Yuuna turned to the sound and immediately ran in that direction.
"Y-yuma..." the voice cried.
Yuuna felt her heart start to ache, clenching her fist up to her chest in pain. "Is that...[nickname]?"
"Yes. This was her....500 years ago. And the one Y/n is holding onto is...your ancestor" Zadkiel revealed.
"Yuma...Yuma! P-please don't leave me...I'm so sorry" young Y/n cried, hugging her twin sister's corpse.
"M-my ancestor?" questioned Yuuna, turning towards the female god.
"Yes. Yuma Chione is Y/n's twin sister. The one who saw during that tea party after Riddle Rosehearts's overblot. One of the many lives that were lost during the cataclysm, also known as the Fall of Khaenri'ah"
"So...she's my ancestor as well?" asked Yuuna.
"Indeed. You are mixed between her mother's enchantress side, and your father's side." Zadkiel smiled.

"Why are you telling me this...?" asked Yuuna.
"Why, you ask? Well, it's simply 'cause if Y/n's heart ever gets lost or breaks, you are able to create a new one. Isn't that helpful" Zadkiel smiled.
"Create a...new heart of frost? Would that power be useless? No one would dare to try to steal it" Yuuna said, suddenly, her vision began to turn black.
"It seems you are waking..." Zadkle mumbled. "You should never be too careful. Plus, you are the only one who can snap Y/n back to normal"
Yuuna seemed to have heard Zadkiel and tried to call out to her but nothing came out of her mouth.
And soon, she had awakened.
"Yuu-chan. Grim" a female voice called out. "Wakey wakey, it's time to wake up"
Yuuna let out a groan, "five more minutes..." she mumbled, turning over to sleep some more.
"You say that for the past 30 minutes, Yuu-chan~" the female voice whined. It was obviously Y/n since she is the other only female in the school.
"Little Shrimp" Jade called out. "You need to get up" he said, pulling Yuuna's blanket away, waking up Grim as well.
"Myah...Are we marchin' to the oasis?" Grim grumbled, slowing getting up.
"No, we're waking up early precisely to avoid that" Azul said, standing next to Y/n. "Come along, now"
The group had entered Kalim's room to wake him up.
"Good morning, Kalim" Jade greeted.
"Mm...Izzat you, Jamil?" Kalim yawned. "Morning..."
"No, it's Jade" the Eel corrected. "Though our names do sound a bit similar. heh"
"Wait...what?" Kalim sat up, rubbing his eyes. He turned his head to see the Octavinelle and Amaryllis trio in his room. "What are you all doing here?" he asked, confused.
"Y/n had made some tea for us, so I brought some extra tea to wake you up and a change of clothes" Jade tells Kalim. "Now rise and come with me, if you please"
"Huh? Wha? What's going on? Where's Jamil?" Kalim asked, looking around to find Jamil.
"Don't worry your little head, Kalim-senpai" Y/n smiled.
"We're perfectly capable of helping you get dressed without him" Azul assured.
"W-what?! P-please, can we wait outside?" Yuuna blushed, trying to get rid of the idea of Kalim undressing in front of her. (Such a unholy mind you got Yuuna! We need Simeon to baptize you...again. Perhaps we need to beat Asmo with the holy bible to have him stop influencing your dirty mind)
Then, someone knocked on the door, letting Kalim now that they were coming in. The door opened to reveal Jamil.
"Kalim, it's time to...what?!" Jamil widen his eyes when he saw the Octavinelle trio, put was a little upset about Y/n being in the same room as Kalim. "Azul? Jade? Grim, Yuuna....and Y/n?! What are you doing in Kalim's room?!"
"Ah, good morning, Jamil!" Azul turned around towards the vice housewarden, beaming with delight. "You're welcome to sleep in today. In fact, I encourage it. We'll be taking care of Kalim starting now until the end of break" he informed.
Jamil didn't seem to happy about it. "What?!"
"After our chat last night, I realized something," Azul said. "Who's the busiest guy in this dorm? It's you, Jamil!"
"We've been taking advantage of Scarabia's hospitality during our stay, you see" Jade started off.

"So, we'd like to pay it back in any way we can" Yuuna continued, having a kind smile towards Jamil.
"You can call us Jamil Support Squad!" Grim declared.
"O-of all the ridiculous...I mean, no, I couldn't possibly ask you-" Jamil stuttered a bit.
"Jamil-senpai, my dorm members and I realize that you do so much for Kalim and the dorm without any of us assisting you" Y/n smiled. "So we figure out that's what we should do. Indeed of doing Scarabia's way of training, I can offer some more expertise for Scarabia as Camelius himself" she offered.
Jamil frowns a bit, pulling his hood down to cover his blushing face, unable to make eye contact with Y/n. "Y-you...that isn't necessary. I couldn't ask of that from an Empress..." he mumbled.
"oh...Ooh...OOOH!" Kalim yelped excitedly, hopping off his bed. "That's BRILLIANT! I've been thinking for ages about how I wish I could make Jamil's job easier!"
"Your compassion is a touching thing to behold, Kalim" Jade praised. "Would that Azul could take a page from your book"
"Ha ha ha" Azul chuckled. "You just had to get in a dig, didn't Jade?" he glared before turning back to Jamil. "Anyway, allow us to handle matters here. You can kick back and take it easy, Jamil"
"By all means, take them up on it, Jamil!" Kalim insisted. "This is great for you!"
"Run along now, Jamil" Jade said, pushing Y/n, Yuuna, and Jamil out of the room. "Go back to your room and catch up on your sleep. If you like, angelfish can tuck you in"
"Mhm. She can help you rest" Yuuna smiled. She was also kicked out of the room for uh privacy reasons. Before the door slammed shut on the three.
"Ara..." Y/n sighed a bit.
"What in the world is going on here?" Jamil asked, completely baffled a bit. "I can just rest. I'd better at least see to breakfast..."
Y/n turn placed a hand on his shoulder before he could walk off. "No need to worry. Floyd-senpai is taking care of it"
"Wait WHAT?!" Jamil then got out of Y/n grasp, giving her an apologetic look before storming off to the kitchen, leaving the two females behind.
Yuuna let out a sigh. "What should we do [nickname]?"
Y/n shook her head a bit. "I guess we can wait until the two are done attending to Kalim"
"Hey, minnow. That ain't been seasoned yet, so don't run it out" Floyd said.
"S-sorry, sir!" Kareem stuttered. He was still afraid of the tall Eel.
"The vegetables in the oven are done" Omar announced.
"Those are already dressed, so plate 'em and get 'em on the table" Floyd instructed the students.
"B-breakfast is already made?!" Jamil walked into the lounge, his eyes widen. "Did you do this, Floyd?"
"G'morning, Sea snake!" Floyd waved. "Yup, me 'n the minnows took care of it. Azul was goin' on about how much he wanted to help you"
"But...But I can't put our guests to work" Jamil answered.
"We ain't exactly guests, remember?" Floyd asked. "We're trainin' buddies"
"But Kalim can only eat food prepared by me" Jamil narrowed his eyes. "It could be poisoned."
"Ha! That's an even more unbalanced diet than what I eat" Floyd said, a little confused and offended. "And I ain't poisoned anything here, by the way. If you don't trust me, test it yourself. If it gets Jamil's poison-free seal of approval, I'm sure Sea Otter will eat it right up"
"You have a point, but still..." Jamil sighed.
"Vice Housewarden, could you taste-test these grilled vegetables?"" Kareem asked.
"I think this soup came out nicely," Omar said. "What do you think, sir?" he asked, turning to Jamil.
"Rgh...Fine" Jamil sighed in defeat. "I'll test them all myself. Actually, are we prepared for our morning oasis trek? Usually, breakfast comes AFTER the march"
"Ah, about that," a voice said, behind Jamil. "As housewarden of Octavinelle," it was Azul.
"And as housewarden of Amaryllis..." Y/n continued.
"We've given our fellow housewarden Kalim an alternate proposal" Azul said.
"Wh...What?!" Jamil stepped forward a bit before whirling around in surprise. "You can't just do that!"
"Rather than aerobic exercise like long-range walking...You'll see far greater gains in strength and stamina from proper indoor weight training" Azul mentioned.
"You see, Scarabia's desert is terribly hot place, you know. I can even get a fever real quickly" Y/n sighed, fanning herself in a hand fan. "We wouldn't want to risk any mortal suffering from a heatstroke, either"
"In fact, there's a huge fountain in the courtyard that Y/n goes in, right?" Floyd pointed out. "If you wanna build stamina, how about swimmin' in that? It'd be more fun, too"
"Agreed" Azul nodded his head, "I can tell you from experience that swimming is a far better way to burn fat than walking"
"So...We don't have to go on those marches anymore?" Kareem asked, a little hopeful.
"We're safe, Vice Housewarden!" Omar cheered.
"It's also worth mentioning that skipping breakfast can make you more easily fatigued and distracted," Azul mentioned. "Not that overeating helps either, of course,"
"Good morning" Kalim greeted, walking inside of the Lounge with Jade, Yuuna, and Grim. "Ooh, breakfast is done already?"
"Hot diggity!" Grim cheered. "That looks delish!"
"Indeed. I'm getting hungry just looking at it" Yuuna admitted, her eyes sparkling from the sparkly food.
"Floyd's in fine form today," Jade said. "It comes out considerably worse when he's not in the mood..."
"And Sea Snake's already poison-tested your portions, Sea Otter" Floyd said. "Go on and dig in!"
"Bon appetite!" Everyone cheered before they started digging into their meals. Y/n and Yuuna looking elegant as usual when eating-
"Ooh, this is wonderful soup!" Kalim hummed at how delicious was.
"Ain't it?" Floyd grinned. "That's a Coral Sea staple. It's packed to the gills (heh) with seafood"
"..." Jamil was wearily for their real intentions.
Avaritia whispered. Y/n could hear the blossom of greed perfectly. It's a good thing she was good at hiding her stares.
"First, the key to ancient incantations in memorizing vocabulary" Azul instructed.
"I'm aaawful at memorization," Kalim complained. "It puts me to sleep"
"Fufufu, then dear Kalim, I've got a perfect study method for you that students from around the land of permafrost used often: recitation while walking," Y/n said, holding a teacher's textbook. After all, she was helping with the tutoring.
"It's a good study method for people with shorter attention spans" Jade added.
"Sounds like it'd be just as great for me!" Grim beamed.
"All right, let's all try it together, guys!" Kalim suggested to his dorm mates.
"Yes, sir!"
