A chilly wind blew across the ground as you stepped out the mirror. You shivered; why was it freezing?

You looked up at the gray skies, which were covered in clouds. No sunlight filtered through, leaving the outside freezing.

"Brrr... it's r-really c-cold... where is this d-dorm?"

A heavy rumbling came from before you. Thunder crashed, lightning struck the earth. The ground shook, making you fall over. You looked up at a massive, black castle that sat on the edge of a cliff.

"This must be..."

Diasomnia, home of Malleus Draconia, and possibly the most dangerous dorm of them all.

Green lightning hit the ground again. You looked up at the sky to see a large, green vortex swirling within the clouds. That was where the lightning was coming from. You were mesmerized by it, as though an enchanting sense allured you close.

"Oi! Silver!!"

You heard someone shouting. You quickly hid behind a large stone and looked up.

"Silver, have you found whatever the young master lost?!" a deep voice boomed.

"No, I haven't. Have you?"

"USELESS! Humans ARE the worst! Keep searching; the sky will never return to normal!"

"But Sebek—"

"SHUT IT! Honestly, I do NOT understand how Master Lilia can tolerate you!"

Someone fell down in front of you. The person yelling at him turned and left towards the castle. You felt bad for whoever was getting reprimanded, so you quietly stepped out from hiding and walked over to him.

The person suddenly stiffened. "I sense something... who's there?"

You waved. "Hey! Down here! Are you ok?"

The boy turned and gasped. "Aren't you... the Ramshackle prefect?"

You nodded. "Yes! I really need help; I'm looking for someone named Malleus Draconia! Idia-senpai said he could probably help undo this spell on me!"

"Spell? Oh right... I think he-." The boy paused. "Our young master is currently away, but there is someone who can help. I can take you to him... if you let me."

"That would be great! Thank you..."

"Silver. Just Silver. And you don't have to use honorifics."

Silver grabbed you and set you down on his shoulder. He then turned to the black castle and made his way towards it.

"This plan was useless... it just made extra baggage for us," Leona grumbled, hauling Ace and Deuce under his arms.

"Then where do you suggest we leave them?" Azul asked.

"Just drop 'em off in school," Floyd said. "That's what I'm gonna do. Jade, let's go take Sea Urchin to the cafeteria."

"Very well, Floyd," Jade agreed. He pulled Jack's ropes, and the twins began to bring him away.

"Rook, do the same with Epel," Vil ordered.

"Oui, Beautiful Vil," Rook replied. He grabbed Epel and dragged him off too.

"I'll get Ruggie to do this..." Leona said. "I'm already spent on energy and I haven't caught the herbivore yet."

Riddle looked down thoughtfully. "If they've been to every dorm already, then they're most likely headed off to Diasomnia."

"Ah~ what terrible luck. I was hoping to not run into Draconia-san today," Azul said.

"No one wants to see that Scaly Bastard," Leona scoffed.

"But we have to get prefect," Vil said. "Now. I refuse to wait any longer to get them back."

They nodded. They were now heading off to get to Diasomnia.

~

"Hey, Silver? Why's the sky messed up right now? I heard that Sebek person say that his young master had lost something... does it have to do with that green lightning?"

Silver looked down with a solemn stare. "Our young master lost one of his friends... and it was his only friend, as he so claims. Some magical energy had been lost for some time, and he had sensed it near your dorm. When he went to find it, you were gone."

Your eyes went wide. "Magical... energy? Like Fae Magic? Silver, that's what made me shrink! Fae Magic caused me to be like this, and now all the dorm leaders are coming after me!"

"They are...?" Silver asked. He looked back at the mirror and saw it start to ripple. You turned in fear, and Silver backed away.

"Please! Hide me; and take me to see the person who can help!!" you begged. Silver nodded and turned. He then began to run towards the dorm.

~

Ace, Deuce, Jack, and Epel had been tugging at their ropes ever since the dorm leaders left them there.

"D-Damnit! We've got the collars AND ropes! We can't move or use magic!" Ace yelled.

"Hang on; I think someone's coming," Jack said, his ears twitching.

Several footsteps came down the hallway. Cater, Trey, Kalim, Jamil, and Ortho approached them with sharp tools and their magical pens.

"Guys, are you ok?!" Kalim shouted.

"Cater-senpai! Trey-senpai!" Deuce said happily.

"Kalim-senpai and Jamil-senpai too!" Epel said. "Thank goodness y'all got 'ere- I mean, thank goodness!"

"Ortho-kun? That's someone you don't see often," Jack mumbled.

Cater bent down and began to cut off the ropes. Trey did the same for the others.

"Are you all ok?" Jamil asked.

"We are! Thanks to you guys," Epel said. "But where's {Y/N}?"

"They're at Diasomnia! Nii-san said that their current status as being shrunk was due to fae magic. They're off to see Malleus Draconia," Ortho informed.

"Malleus-kun?!" Cater asked, surprised. "B-but--"

"We have to hurry and help them, though! My readings indicate several people following them, and they're all angry!"

"Then we gotta hurry and stop em," Trey said. He grabbed his magical pen and held it out. "Doodle Suit!"

The collars suddenly disappeared. The first years cheered.

"We gotta hurry; my magic won't last very long. C'mon, everyone!"

~

{Y/N}! We're done playing games! When we catch you, you're REALLY going to get it!"

Silver turned while running to see Leona, Riddle, Vil, Jade, Rook, Floyd, and Azul come out the mirror towards the front of them dorm. "We'll be surrounded at this point... what do you want to do?"

You looked down and clenched a fist. "Silver, I need you to help hold them off. I have to run, but don't worry. I'll be fine. Just toss me up to that window there!"

Silver nodded. With that, your final plan was set into motion. If it didn't work... it could very well be the end for you.
