Meanwhile at the graveyard of Avalon, Merlin gently caresses the gravestone of his late friend as he lets out a sigh.

"Let's been awhile that I've seen you since your funeral. I remembered that day....Vivien wouldn't stop crying. Oh that poor lake goddess. Then again, all of us were close during our youth..." Merlin mutters as he crept his hand to the surface of his name while smiling fondly at their youthful days together before Guinevere's affair with one of Arthur's bravest and most loyal knights, Lancelot, and the prominent battle between him and the treacherous warlock, Mordred. Soon Merlin let's out a sigh.

"Aah I remembered those days...I do really missed you, Artie and so did Vivi." Merlin sighs while caressing the gravestone reminiscing the good times they'd shared from their youth to their adulthood. Then he spun back and taps his staff to the ground twice where a cloud poofs before him and hops to the cloud as whips his head one last time.

"It was nice seeing you Artie, but sadly I must depart. I hope the heavens are treating you well." Merlin said with a warm smile as he floats away from his grave. As he floats through the cemetery, Merlin lets out a soft hum.

"Hmmm...I wonder how Sundrop and the others are doing?" He mumbles as he pulls out his crystal ball from his suitcase and wipes the glass with his hand where an image of Glory, Grim, and the Rapunzel gang are enduring intense training at the Scarabia courtyard with the Scarabia residents while being watched by the hypnotized Kalim.

Upon seeing the unfortunate scene, Merlin shook his head and tsks at the misfortune upon Glory and her friends.

"My my, seems like sundrop and her companions are placed in a difficult positions. Mmm...." Merlin hums and puts the crystal ball away in his suitcase as tucks hood with white orbs gleaming in determination.

"Time for me to get back on action...ONWARD TO THE LAKE!" Merlin declares as he floats his way out of the cemetery with a plan in his mind.

~~~~~~~~~~

Back in the Scarabia Lounge while everyone is training at the courtyard, Jamil was pacing back and forth with a cunning grin plastered on his face.

"My strategy is going exactly as plan. I finally have these fools wrapped around my finger!" Jamil cheers. Elsewhere, Glory was wandering around the halls searching for the vice dorm until...

"This plan will be flawless!" Jamil marvels with Glory hearing his rambles in the lounge, the ravenette peers her head to see the vice dorm spouting about his plans with glee. She then curls her brows and leans her body against the doorway with her arms fold.

"With Glo-san here, she and I will rule Scarabia with an iron fist! That way I'll be finally free from my treacherous status as a servant. She'll be a valuable asset as my sultana due to her magical powers from the sundrop flower. Along with Rapunzel and the-." While rambling, Jamil froze and his eyes widened when he spun his head to see Glory leaning against the doorway the entire time. Froze and deeply panicked, Jamil whips his head away and sighs to regain his composure before whipping his head back to Glory with arms folded.

"Glo-san, what are you doing here? Kalim is probably looking for you." Jamil said acting dumb, but Glort wasn't buying his polite act as she crept a small smile at him playing dumb as well.

"Not to worry, I asked Kalim for permission to take a break from training." Glory reassures as she flashes him an innocent smile.

"So what were you doing here?" She ask curiously acting innocent and naive as she saunters over to Jamil.

"I was cleaning up the lounge." He lied, but Glory can tell right away he's lying as she remains her innocent smile as tilts her head.

"Really now?" She ask skeptically while acting innocent with Jamil remaining stoic and nods at her.

"Yes." He casually replies. Glory stood there still plastering her innocent smile while knowing his plan.

This guy is definitely the mastermind without a doubt.

Glory thought while keeping her innocent smile, but she won't give up that easily and kept playing dumb.

"It sure is such a shame that Scarabia is going through a rough night during training. I was quite looking forward of enjoying my time here in Scarabia for the break." Glory sympathies while acting naive and Jamil nods.

"I apologize for the inconvenience that was brought to you and your friends, Glo-san during your time here with us. I just don't know what to do with Kalim anymore." Jamil apologizes, but Glory remains her smile and shook her head.

"No need to feel bad for yourself, Jamil. Though I must ask you something if you may." She insists.

"Absolutely, what is it?" Jamil ask curiously with a modest smile as she slightly tilt her head with a fake curious smile.

"When did Kalim became "mentally unstable"?" Glory ask curiously. Jamil lays his hand under his chin.

"I believe it's after the Magift tournament..." Jamil mutters causing her to curl her brows at him.

"Oh?..." Glory then folds her arms with a fake curious look.

"...Pray tell." She insisted in a sarcastic manner while keeping her innocent smile on tact and Jamil nods.

"Ever since the Magift Tournament, Kalim hasn't been doing well in school both physically and mentally. He doesn't take his loss very well and he seems to lose it when all of us get lower grades during the exams." Jamil explains.

"And how long has this been going on for?" Glory ask curiously.

"About two weeks ago." Jamil guesses.

"Hmmm...Is that so?" Glory ask curiously tilting her head slightly with a smile before tilting back.

"Then let me ask you this and be honest with me, Jamil...." Glory sternly reminds him as she opens her eyes with grey orbs gleam with cunningness.

"What do exactly thought about Kalim?" Glory ask with a serious tone baffling Jamil a bit before he responds.

"Why I look up to him of course. He's truly an amazing person to serve cuz I'm his true friend." Jamil reassures, but Glory isn't buying it and kept her innocent smile on tact.

"Are you sure? If you're truly his friend, then you would've report his 'mentally unstable' nature to Crowley; which I highly doubt he can cuz the headmaster is useless as a bag of bird poop...."

Then her innocent smile contorts with an intimidating frown combing it with deadly grey eyes.

"...Or should I even called Kalim 'mentally unstable'?" Glory lowly snarks stunning Jamil as he felt his blood turned cold.

No way! Don't tell me...!

Jamil thought with his eyes widened where he froze in shock as the ravenette crept a small smug.

"My apologies, did I shock you that hard? I mean it's quite hard to believe that a positive and bubbly dorm head like Kalim would be 'mentally unstable' when it involves with a particular hypnotism that I recognized from the legendary Sorcerer of the Sand that some viper is doing for his own personal gain."  She implies with a side grin as her grey orbs glimmer in craftiness. Deeply panicked, Jamil keeps his composure in tact and clench his fists.

"Glo-san...."

Soon the vice dorm leader strolls to the insightful ravenette when he grabs her chin and lifts her head to his beautiful grey orbs flashing her with a small polite grin.

"Perhaps you should go back to Kalim, I'm sure he's quite worried about you. You really don't want him to be upset, right?" Jamil persuades as he hypnotized her with his magic, but...

"Heh...Oh no, Jamil. I'm just getting started." Glory flatly retorts with an innocent smile astonishing the vice dorm. Soon the ravenette grabs his hoodie and pulls him closer to her face.

What?! How is she not immune to my magic now? I swear to the Great Sevens that I had her under my control yesterday!

Jamil thought with a look of disbelief yet panic.

"You'll never be sultan, Jamil Viper." She lowly seethes stunning yet frightening the vice dorm as her grey eyes gleam with menace. Speechless yet dumbfounded, Jamil clench furrows his brows and clench his fists tightly.

"How is this possible?..." He lowly grumbles with a scowl as Glory crept a small smile.

"Oh let's just say that a lake lady friend of mine was generous to gave me this wonderful trump card as a holiday gift that makes me immune to your hypnotic magic of yours." Glory told him nonchalantly astonishing the vice dorm leader.

The Lady of the Lake was the mastermind?!

Jamil thought panicking in the inside as Glory lets out a subtle giggle.

"Shocking isn't it? Not to mentioned that a little desert bird told me about your plan two days ago before winter break started, so I have to thank him for that." Glory explains irking the vice dorm leader.

Damn that Iman! I knew something was up! It isn't surprising that fool would confront me at the lounge an hour ago...what a pain...I don't know how exactly did that lake lady make her immune to my magic, but I'm still going to succeed!

He thought as Jamil smacks her hands away and cross his arms gazing at Glory with cold grey eyes when he finally revealed his true colors.

"...So you've finally figured out my plan huh?" He curtly snarks, but she shook her head at him.

"Not 'finally'. I knew the entire time. Everyone in my dorm knows. Even Iman knew what you're up to." Glory informs as Jamil scoffs at her remark.

"So what? There's no point of stopping me." He curtly retorts as he crept a small smug on his face.

"Regardless, I have these fools under my control and once I've overthrown that nuisance, I'll be finally be free as a servant and rule as sultan." Jamil explains as he grabs her him and lifts her head to his eyes.

"And how can I forget about you? In fact, you're going to be queen soon in our world so why not make it happen? After all, you possess the power of the sundrop flower. With you here, you'll be a great asset to my rule. Oh, and no worries, that doesn't mean I'll hurt you. You're my sultana after all, it's a sultan's to take good care of his queen." Jamil consoles with his soothing tone, but Glory won't have play his card trick and smack his hand off of her as she is unfazed by his intimidating and cunning nature.

"Even if you do, it still won't make you satisfied." Glory retorts baffling Jamil as the ravenette tugs her strand to her left ear and glance back at the vice dorm leader with grey orbs gleaming in fierce courage.

"Matter of fact, I came here for another reason..."

Then she reaches and slips her arms around his neck pulling him close to her.

"Aside of stopping you and saving Kalim, I'm going to bring you back to the light." Glory reassures puzzling Jamil.

"What are you talking about?..." He ask looking very puzzled right now.

"I'm giving you a warning Jamil. The more you placed your dorm members under your control, the more consequences you'll face. And when I mean consequences, I mean you'll be corrupted by your own magic." Glory informs him, but he huffs and brushes her off.

"Don't be mistaken. My plan will work. Just how are you going to stop me anyway? You and your group don't have any evidence that it was me who brainwashed Kalim. Not even that foolish Iman can't convinced them to believe it was me." Jamil boasts, but Glory remains unfazed and kept her serious gaze at the cunning vice dorm leader.

"You're right. We can't stop you, but we do know a couple of trio that we know that can...." Glory retaliates baffling the vice dorm leader as she gently releases him and turns her heels as she strolls away from him, but stops to give him her last warning.

"It's understandable that you want to be free, but this is not how it goes..." She reassures as Glory whips her head to Jamil with an earnest look.

"Mark my words Jamil, the next time we meet, I WILL guide you back to the light." Glory sincerely vows leaving the puzzled Jamil speechless as the ravenette whips her head away and saunters off. Once she left the lounge, Jamil has no words other then confusion. Yet, he won't fully admit this, but it definitely took a shock to him when he sees her unpredictable intimidating side.

Perplexed yet astonished, Jamil lays his hand on his temple with his eyes widened while his mind is processing on what just happened.

Damn...I thought she was just a simple wallflower, but I guess wrong...

He thought as Jamil crept a small intrigued smile.

"...Well played Glo-san. Well played." Jamil mutters before he his small smile contorts with a frown.

Nevertheless I gotta focused on my goal to get rid of Kalim fast cuz I'm facing the cobra underneath the flower.

Jamil thought vowing to complete his plan while dealing with a sneaky sun cobra. And that sun cobra is none only than the reincarnation of Mother Gothel and Twisted Wonderland's future queen, Gloriane Corbett.
