"Oh, imagine a land, it's a faraway place
Where the caravan camels roam"
Y/n began to sing, as Kalin insisted on her to sing for everyone for the party.
"Where you wander among every culture and tongue
It's chaotic, but hey, it's home
When the win's from the east
and the sun's from the west
And the sand in the glass in right"
Y/n let out a smirk
"Come on down, stop on by
Hop a carpet and fly
To another Arabian night!"
Musical instrumental made from ice appeared in the air, placing the instrumental part of the song. Everyone watched in awe as Y/n's outfit changed again
"As you wind through the streets at the fabled bazaars
With the cardamom-cluttered stalls
You can smell every spice
While you haggle the price
Of the silks and stain shawls"
Y/n danced to the music.
"Oh, the music that plays as you move through a maze
In the haze of your pure delight
You are caught in a dance"
Y/n winked as Azul.
"You are lost in the trance"
she then winked at Jamil
"Of another Arabian night!"
A student then took out their phone and began recording her performance on Magicam, which obviously received a lot of views.
"Arabian Nights~
Like Arabian days
More often than not are hotter than hot
In a lot of good ways
Arabian nights
Like Arabian dreams
This mystical land of magic and sand
Is more than it seems...
There's a road that may lead you
To good or to greed through
The power your wishing commands
Let the darkness unfold or find fortunes untold
Well, your destiny lies in your hands!"
A water illusion rose up above Y/n, in the shape of a lion head, representing the cave on wondered.
it said in a deep voice.
"Arabian nights
Like Arabian days
They seem to excite, take off and take flight
To shock and amaze
Arabian nights
'Neath Arabian moons
A fool off his guard could fall and fall hard
Out there on the dunes"
Everyone clapped when she finished as she bowed.
The party then came to a close
The trio is finally back at the ice palace. And how Y/n reacted to it was diving into the snow, still in her performance outfit.
"Phew...We finally made it back to our own dorm" Grim sighed.
"We've been out for a while, huh? Yuuna grinned as they made their way through the garden Y/n swished her tail to move herself forward to keep up with Yuuna and Grim.
"Hey, you three!" Ghost A greeted as the other two ghosts followed
"Heh. These ghosts are a sight for sore eyes" Grim said.

"We're home!" Y/n and Yuuna greeted. Y/n stood up and stood next to Yuuna.
"You've been gone for so long, I started to wonder if you were GONE gone, you know," Ghost B said, worrying for them. "We worried ourselves half to death! Get it? Hee hee hee..."
"But hey, glad to see you're okay" Ghost C patted Yuuna and Y/n on the head.
"We took care of tending to the fire fairies in the cafeteria fireplace while you were out" Ghost A informed them
"Myah?!" Grim yelped. "Oh, crud, I totally forgot about that!"
"Hey, nobody wants to spend the holidays frozen over, unless that someone is Y/n or a frostian" Ghost B laughed.
"By the way, there's a bunch of food waiting for you here, courtesy of the headmaster" Ghost C said.
"Mya-hah! Didja hear that?" Grim cheered. "We're getting out feast! C'mon, Yuuna, Y/n, let's go check it out!" he said, running inside of the ice dorm.
"Ah, you're finally back," a voice said.
"Gah!" Yuuna yelped. "You scared m!"
"Hello, Lilia!" Y/n beamed, smiling with a toothy smile, giving Lilia a daughter type of hug
"Hello, beastie!" Lilia greeted, giving Y/n a father type of hug. He then turned to Yuuna. "Khee hee hee" he laughed. "With a reaction like that, I could make a habit of spooking you"
Lilia then gently grabbed Yuuna's hand and gave it a kiss on the back of it, having y/n start squealing like a fangirl. "I'm Lilia Vonrounge, vice housewarden of Diasomnia and a friend of Beastie here" he grinned.
"Nice to formally meet you. I'm Yuuna Enma" Yuuna greeted. They met during Leona's overblot
"What are you doing here, Lilia?" Y/n asked.
"I came to deliver a holiday greet card to you two from a certain somebody" Lilia sent, reaching into his coat before winking at Y/n. He took two cards out, and give them to the two girls.
Y/n chuckled a bit. "Is he peeved that nobody invited him to any festivities this year?"
Lilia let out a sigh. "It is as you said, Beastie. So if you happen to hold any with your friends, it'd be nice if you extended him an invitation too" he told Yuuna.
"Alright. I'll make sure to invite him" Yuuna nodded her head.
"Anyway, that's all I came for" Lilia smiled. "I bid you all a pleasant holiday" he then gave Y/n a kiss on her forehead in a father affection.
"Wait. Before you go. Give these to you-know-who, Silver, and Sebek" Y/n said, giving Lilia a bag with storage magic that had the Diasomnia boy's gifts.
"Of course, beastie. Thank you, and have a good holiday" Lilia smiled before disappearing in a flash of light.

Yuuna then looked at her card with a confused expression, "The sender is listed as M.D. Who's that?" she asked Y/n.
"Fufufu, you'll know soon" Y/n grinned.
"Hey, Yuuna, Y/n!" Grim called out. "You better step on it, or I'm gonna eat the whole beast without you!"
"Ho ho ho! Happy holidays!" Ghost C said.
"Myah...Mmm...I've got dibs on that turkey" Grim slept and talked.
Suddenly, the mirror started to glow. "The Mirror's glowing again?"
Yuuna sat up from the bed, accidentally stepping on Grim's tail with a crunch. "Gyah! Watch the tail..." Grim yelped before snoring once again.
Yuuna mumbled an apology before walking to the mirror, flinching in surprise when a shadow appeared. "There's that big-eared shadow again." she talked to herself.
"Is...someone there? Who are you?" a voice asked.
Yuuna didn't answer. "....."
"It's got a strange and beautiful ring to it!" the voice said.
"And who are you?" Yuuna asked the shadow in the mirror.
"I'm Mickey. Mickey Mouse" the voice said. "Am I dreaming again? I've had this same dream three times already. There are always living cards and a dancing music box, too...But your voice gets clearer and clearer every time. Is it possible that you're not a dream? Where are you?"
"This is..." Yuuna started off. "Twisted Wonderland..."
"So, Aunty sent you to help me this time?" Y/n asked the archon.
"Indeed. Miss Zadkiel said that there will be some justice that needs to be accomplished. But...nothing seems to be going on?" the archon said.
You can guest it. The archon that will be helping Y/n during the next arc is the Hydro archon, Focalors, the God of Justice. Who sat on an ice chair in her full glory.
"Not yet...but the only blossoms haven't made trouble yet or gluttony, Sloth, Lust, and...Vanity" Y/n informed the hydro archon.
"I see" Focalors hummed. She then turned to the sound of someone knocking on the door before quickly turning into a form similar to an Oceanid, and going inside of Y/n shadow.
"We will just have to find out" Y/n mumbled before walking to the door and opening it, seeing Yuuna and Grim.
"Are you ready, [nickname]?" Yuuna asked, who had Grim on her shoulder.
"Yes. Let's go now" Y/n smiled as they walked out of the room, out of the ice palace, and into the main campus to head to Scarabia as Grim wanted.
And so holiday vacation came to a end...
It was now January. The Amaryllis trio walked through main street before a certain one-cell duo spotted them, and headed over to the trio.
"Heya, Y/n, and Yuuna!" Ace called out, waving at the females. "Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year!" Yuuna and Y/n said in unison.
"I see you guys all the time, but it feels like it's been years, for some reason," Deuce said, who followed behind Ace with a small smile.
"Nyeh heh!" Grim laughed. "Clearly you missed me over break" he grinned at the two boys, who only shook their heads about missing Grim. The only missed Yuuna and Y/n. But mostly Yuuna though-
Someone approached and made their way toward the group. It was Jack, who had a stern look on his face. "Oi. Don't stand around blocking traffic"
"Whoa, Jack!" Ace called out, noticing how Jack looked a little different. "Did you get a tan?"
"Did I?" Jack questioned, tilting his head a bit. "I spent most of my holidays skiing, so it might be from that"
"Ooooh~ Sounds fun" Yuuna clapped her gloved hands together.
"Huh? it snows a lot where you're from?" Ace asked, raising a brow.
"What's skiing?" Grim asked. "I wanna try it!" he exclaimed, running around near everyone's feet.
"Grim, stop trotting around underfoot!" Deuce said, quickly stepping away to scold the raccoon. But he may have accidentally bumped into someone.
*Wham*
"Ah..." whimpered a student who Deuce bumped into. It was Epel. Epel Feimier. (Did I spell that correctly? If I didn't, uh, I can look up how it's spelled)
Whoops, sorry about that!" Deuce scrambled back again, facing the Pomefiore 1st year she bumped into.
"Ara? It's you, little plum" Y/n said, crossing her arms with her eyes wide in concern.
Epel looked at Y/n before closing his eyes, letting out a few sniffles. The group flinched in surprise when they say tears roll down Epel's face.
"Wh-whoa!" Deuce yelped. "Y-you're...crying?!"
"Profeeeeessooor! Prefect Yyyyy/nnnn! Deuce is bullying a kid from another class and making him cry!" Ace exclaimed in a childish tone, snitching on Deuce.
"That's not funny, Ace!" Deuce yelled. Yuuna patted him on the shoulder in calm him down. It works as Deuce turned his attention back on Epel, "Did I hurt you that badly? I am SO sorry, lean on my shoulder." he offered.
"Sweetie, do you need to go to the nurse's office?" Y/n asked. "Of perhaps you need one of my tears?" she asked, taking out a small view of a phoenix that was indeed hers.
"Rgh...Dagnabbit..." Epel mumbled, keeping his hands close to his chest.
'man, I would think he's fragile if not knowing his real personality' Y/n sweatdropped.
"huh?" Deuce perked his head to the side. "Dag-what...?"
"Ngh!" Epel quickly ran away in tears, leaving everyone confused.
"Aaaand he's gone," Ace said, watching the small lavender-haired boy disappear from his view.
"Who was he?" Yuuna asked.
"He's in my class" Jack informed. "If I remember right, he's from Pomefiore Dorm. His name's Epel Felmier" (So that's how you spell it)
"Epel from Pomefiore..." Yuuna and Deuce mumbled.

The end of the world as we know it couldn’t come at a worse time for Adrian. One minute, he’s an operations manager who’s overseeing a construction job in the wilderness. The next, an unknown energy force changes the very nature of life itself, from the smallest organism to the top of the food chain. The earth’s surviving inhabitants, its environment, and the very laws of physics have all undergone fundamental transformations. Many of those changes aren’t pretty. Plenty of them are deadly. Luckily for Earth, this has happened to other species before, and everyone receives an interface that survivors of similar events have used to navigate through an alien landscape. Adrian’s going to need every advantage he can get. He’s stranded in the middle of nowhere, there are days, maybe weeks of travel between him and his family, and in a world full of monsters and mayhem, survival means beating the learning curve…
