《Winter Wonderland》The Schemer of the Scalding Sands: part 18

"Cower before my might!" Jamil ordered darkly. "Phenomenal...cosmic...power!"
"Gyahh! This is still one scary monster!" Grim shrieked, hopping onto Yuuna's shoulder to hide.
"I'll knock some sense back into him!" Kalim shouted, but he was a little scared himself.
"I am the true ruler of Scarabia!" Jamil shouted.
"How much power has he been hiding all this time?" Azul said, gritting his teeth. Completely shocked by the amount of power Jamil had.
"It's worse than [nickname] is supporting his power..." Yuuna mumbled, gripping her small cross as Micheal stands behind her.
"I...I refuse to give up!" Kalim shouts in determination.
Suddenly Jamil sent a powerful wave of magic toward everyone, but before they felt the impact, a large wall made of vines sprouted from the ground, shielding them.
"What?" Jamil gasped in shock. He turned around to see Y/n, whose eyes were back to normal, but her right eye was green.
"I'm glad I removed that magic in time" 'Y/n' said, having a smile as she walked in front of the vines as they disappeared back into the ground. They realized that her voice sounded different and younger.
"Y/n?! No...you're not my Jasmine flower at all" Jamil gritted his teeth.
"He's right. Who are you?" asked Azul.
'Y/n' turned her head to the side. "Oh, it's still me, Y/n" Y/n grinned cheerfully, talking in her regular voice.
"But, I'm possessing her." Y/n's voice switched to sounding like a kid. "I am known as Lessor Lord Kusanali! It's a pleasure to meet the cryo archons daughter's friends" Kusanali greeted.
"You...so you're the one Avaritia warned me about?" Jamil scowled.
"" Avaritia spoke as the red genie incarnation.
"Eep! The blot monster spoke?!" Yuuna and Grim yelped.
"I came under Zadkiel's order" Kusanali revealed.
"" Avaritia spoke in disbelief.
"Should we take care of this, Kusanali?" Y/n asked, having a grin.
"Yep! I shall share my knowledge for this battle" the young archon announced as Y/n took out a flower bud. Dendro particles swirled around the bud as Y/n then used her magic to activate it.

"It's time to Bloom! Now: You shall never have a friend like me!" Y/n and Kusanali shouted, activating the magic. A bright light appeared out of Y/n as she transformed. Like she did with the other overblots.
Her dress was a Sumeru-styled dress, as Kusanali rose up above Y/n, turning into a blue genie, opposite of Jamil. Kusanali was now in the form of the genie light incarnation.
"No way...it that" everyone's eyes widen at the sight of the light blue incarnation, as Kusanali glared down at Avaritia.
"" Avaritia screamed.
"I think it's time for you to take a little nap," Y/n said, summoning her ice staff.
"Mya! We have our chance!" Grim yelled.
"Attack the blot monster!" Azul commanded, "While angelfish does the final blow!"
"" Jamil and Avaritia shouted in unison.
"Are you ready, [nickname]?" Yuuna asked as she summoned another blast of light at the blot monster, causing a little of damage.
"Mhm," Y/n grinned as flower buds blooms around the area. "Let your dreams of freedom bloom into a lovely flower," Y/n said, starting to chant her spell. "When wed to me, you are free. Now...All hail the 5th king of Permafrost!" she shouted.
Jamil's eyes widen before snakes made of ice shot up from the ground and around Avaritia. "" he screamed in pain before the snakes wrapped around the ink bottle and shattered it, causing Jamil to let out a yelp in pain before the ink on his body evaporated into the air.
"I was finally going to be number one..." Jamil began to collapse. Y/n transformed back to her normal self before she activate Kusanali's spell. She rushed to Jamil's side and caught him before he could hit the ground. "I was finally going...to be free" he mumbled before going unconscious.
"Hey, Jamil! Let's play! I'm gonna beat you!" a young Kalim spoke. Y/n had arrived in Jamil's memory plane as she walked through the darkness to see Jamil standing, watching his memories.
"This again, Kalim?" young Jamil asked. "You know I'm just going to keep winning. Can we play something else instead?"

"Jamil! Don't you take that tone with Master Kalim!" his mother scolding him harshly.
"ow!" Jamil winced in pain when his mother hit him.
"Master Kalim, thank you for playing with our foolish on" Jamil's father said, bowing deeply toward young Kalim.
"You're kind enough to share your company" his mother bowed as well. "Truly, you've been brought up well"
"My very first memory as a child was seeing my family bow before Kalim and his parents" Jamil started off. "I couldn't stand the sight of it" he gritted his teeth.
"Listen, Jamil" Jamil's father ordered. "You must always win twice and lose thrice when competing with Kalim. You must never outdo him at anything"
"I know you're a smart boy. Surely you understand the position we're in?" Jamil mother asked.
"...Fine" Jamil frowned sadly.
"Kalim's parents were far more important than mine. Therefore...Kalim was more important than me. Which meant...Whether in studies, or exercise, or games...I could never do better than Kalim. I had to keep myself beneath him. I had to pretend I was incapable" Jamil continued on.
Y/n frowned herself. "Jamil...I can't imagine all the sorrow you felt...your life...your suffering...it was completely unfair" she stated, hugging Jamil from behind.
"Jamil, look! I won first prize at the festival dancing contest!" cheered Kalim
"Aha ha! I did it!" Kalim laughed, pumping his fist in the air. "I won, three to two!"
"I scored a 75 on the magic history test you helped me study for, Jamil!" Kalim grinned. "What?" he looked at Jamil's score. "You got a 70? Hey, it's okay. Cheer up!"
"You're not beating me. I'm just letting you win" Jamil gritted his teeth. "Look at you, smiling obliviously. Get a clue, you dunerhead!"
"Me? Housewarden of Scarabia?" Kalim asked, confused. "I don't know what that entails, but sure! You can count on me. Right, Jamil?
"Headmaster, why are you making Kalim housewarden?" Jamil asked. "He's a poor magician, and more to the point, he's just a sophomore. We've got my hands full cleaning up after him as it is"
"A sophomore housewarden is hardly unheard-of at Night Raven College," Crowley said.
"But..."
Before Jamil would say anything, Crowley cut him off. "Viper. Providing education comes with costs. And our young friend's family has been quite generous in their support. It places me in a position where I must make certain...compromises. You're a clever student. Surely you understand what that means."
"All the grown-ups tell me the same thing. 'Surely you're smart enough to understand' But who's trying to understand ME?" Jamil asked, clenching his fist in anger.
"We'll keep helping each other out, Jamil!" Kalim said, smiling.
"Stop"
"I know you'd never betray me, Jamil," Kalim said, proudly.
"Just stop!" Jamil shouted. "Kalim, your mere existence means that I...I..." he let out a sniffle. "I have to live my whole life deferring everything to you! I...I want...I want to be number one, too" he cried
"Jamil!" Y/n shouted, having Jamil turned around in surprise.
"Jasmine...?" he stuttered.
"Remember what I said before you past out?" Y/n asked. "You are the 5th king of Permafrost! So that means...you will stand high above Kalim starting when we get married!"
"That...can't be true. Me a king?" Jamil couldn't believe such hopeful words.
"It's true, Jamil" Y/n smiled, holding her hand out as a cryo gem appeared above her hand. "You know full well that you are my 5th soulmate. So now...this gem is gonna mark you as mine" she smiled and walked closer to Jamil.
"May I?"
Jamil nodded as the gem got absorbed in his chest. He felt a cold stinging sensation he never felt before. It was like he was being frozen alive...but at the same time, it felt warm and nice. "You are now free. You have the freedom you dreamed of" Y/n announced as the pain Jamil felt slowly went away.
Y/n flew a few feet and hugged Jamil from behind, her wings embracing him. "You need to wake up. After all, me and your friends are worried"
"My friends..." Jamil muttered.
"Jamil...Jamil!" a voice called out as everything went white.

The Epiphany Colony
Brad Asher has been a private detective on the Epiphany Colony orbiting Mars for about a year before stumbling into a conspiracy that threatens the safety and stability of the colony. Note that the story here is the first draft and has a lot of ideas, characters, and plotlines that I ended up dropping in the final version that I released here currently available on Kindle Unlimited. The entire second half was restructured, as I ended up not being satisfied with some of the things that I introduced and felt like it had strayed too far from my initial vision of a space-based detective noir story.
