The thunder roared once more, as Prism herself had been standing in the middle of the storm of black clouds; she had her weapons ready for what had laid within. Adrien had been at her feet as he had been twitching and his mouth had been foaming. Her breath had been shaking, as she looked around as she could feel her body trembling. She could hear herself humming, though her voice had been shaking as she had hummed the tune.

"It'll be okay…" She found herself whispering, "... It'll be okay…"

She heard the sound of something running just behind her.

Her instincts were telling her to run too, but… She didn't want to leave Adrien alone.

She had to stay her ground… Despite the amount of fear she felt.

It hadn't been long before she heard a voice, or rather, someone whistling. The very tune of it had been familiar to her ears, yet at the same time, it was haunting that filled the chills she already felt in her body. Despite the thunder she could hear it coming from all around her.

"He-Hello?" Prism said, "Is someone there?"

The whistling soon stopped, as it made her flinch.

"GIVE… UP…"

The minute she turned around, she found herself screaming.


Prism sat upright in her bed as she shrieked; the sound of it startled Adrien and Theodore as Theodore ended up falling off the bed with a screech. She took deep breaths as she tried her best to collect herself; she felt her heart beating so fast, she thought at any moment it would come out of her chest.

"Deep breaths-Deep breaths-" Prism told herself, as Adrien ran over to the bed and rested his head on the bed, "-Just a beating drum, like a beating drum…"

Adrien put his head against her body as he started to purr. She could feel her heart starting to beat steady now. "Thanks bud."

"Hey-" Theodore said as he crawled up on the bed, "-You woke me up pretty lady. I dreamt I was ruling everything!"

"Sorry Theo-" Prism replied as she gave him a smile, some of the spirits rested on her shoulders, "-I-I just had a bad dream, that's all."

"It was a pretty loud dream you had." Theodore said in a monotone voice, before he found himself falling from the bed as he squeaked, "I have fallen… And I choose not to get up."

Prism only giggled, "Hang on, buddy, I got you."

She crawled over on the bed as she gave him her hand; he took it with his little paw as she pulled him up. "Are you okay, are you hurt?" She asked

"Don't worry, my head broke my fall." Theodore said as he rubbed a certain spot, as his eyes were still blue.

"Well, I'll make you some hashbrowns when morning comes to make up for it." Prism said, as she went to give him a pat on the head, but oddly enough she had trouble moving it, "I know how much you like-"

Prism cut herself off as her face paled at the sight of her arm which had contained the burn scar. Her whole entire arm, right down to her hands, had been filled with silver scales; even her fingers had been long and slender as she could see she had a set of black claws. She even noticed she had four fingers instead of five. Now that she had gotten a good look, she could feel how heavy her arm was.

"Oh look at that!" Theodore said as his eyes were pink, "You got a new arm!"

Theodore was soon startled as Prism started to scream again, this time it had been out of fear; some of the spirits were startled as some of them had started to become shriveled and lose their color. She started to back up till her back hit the window as she could only scream.

"MY ARM!" She screamed, "WHAT HAPPENED TO MY ARM!?"

Prism was soon startled when she heard a familiar voice. "Prism! Honey!" She could hear Nolan call out, "Hang on I'm coming!"

Prism soon took her sheets as she wrapped it around her scaled arm before setting it so that it looked as though she had been laying her arm flat on the bed. "Pretty Lady, what are you doing?!" Theodore asked with worry as Adrien cocked his head a little.

"Please, don't say anything." Prism whispered.

A second later the door had been kicked down by none other than Yami of course; Nolan had soon gotten through. "Prism!" Nolan said as he ran to her bedside, "Are you okay!? What happened?!"

"I'm-I'm okay." Prism replied, "I just had a bad dream, that's all."

"Are you sure? No one tried to break in?" Nolan asked.

Prism only shook her head, "Do-Don't worry I'm fine, I promise."

Acer soon came into the room "I HEARD SCREAMING! IS EVERYONE OKAY?!"

"So-Sorry Uncle Ace-" Prism said, "-I just screamed from a bad dream."

"Look at you, you're shaking-" Nolan pointed out, "-Are you sure that's all it was?"

She didn't seem to notice, though Yami, Jack and William had come into view that some of the spirits started to turn green. Prism soon noticed that Yami had given her a certain look, or to be more precise, he had been looking at the arm she had been hiding.

"Wha-What is it?" Prism asked as she didn't realize her voice had been shaking.

"What's up with your arm?" Yami asked.

"No-Nothing, I just bumped it!" Prism said. She suddenly felt her arm throb slightly though did her best to hide it, "Why did it start to hurt all of a sudden?"

"Do you mind if we take a look?" William asked, "Just so we can make sure?"

Prism only laughed nervously, "Tha-That's not necessary. Really, I'm just fine." She felt her arm throb again as she flinched a little, "It happened again?" She thought.

Jack soon stepped over to her as he said, "KEKE-We said move!"

Before Prism could say anything she found the covers roughly torn from her revealing the scaled arm; most of the adults had been taken back by the sight as the spirits started to lose their color again.

"By the Gods-" Nolan said stunned.

"Holy hell.." Acer said in shock. "Uhh Pri-"

"This is alarming.." Willaim added.

Yami soon asked her, "Lizard Girl, do you know what happened?"

"I-I don't know…" Prism said as her voice had been shaking, her tears had been visible as some of the Spirits started to have streaks of blue as they didn't obtain their color, "... I just… I just found it like this… I-I don't know what this is-I-"

Nolan soon shushed her gently before he brought her in a hug, "It's okay sweetie. It's okay."

"I don't get it, how the hell could this have happened?" Acer asked the Captains in particular.

Yami had told him, "No clue.."

"Uncle-" Prism soon said as she shivered, "-My arm-I-I can't move it…"

The adults looked shocked by this sort of thing as did Theodore and even Adrien. "What?" Nolan said, "What do you mean you can't move it?"

"I-I just can't-" She said, "-I was-I was having trouble moving it earlier…"

William soon sat at her bedside as he examined her arm, "Try interlocking your fingers."

"But I-"

"Please, I just want to see."

Prism looked at her fully scaled arm as she went to try to interlock her fingers like she was told. Though all they could see she could only make the hand twitch and nothing more. "I-I can't! She said, "I can't-!"

"Oh dear." William said, "This is certainly a problem."

Prism's own face couldn't help but pale at this, as she could feel herself hyperventilate, "Wha-What is this?! What's happening to me?!" She said fearfully.

"Calm down Prism-" Nolan said as he took her in his arms again, "-Don't panic, we're gonna figure this out."

"KEKE-We can cut it off no problem!" Jack said as one of his blades came out and Prism let out a shirek before hiding in the covers. Yami smacked him on the head as he said to him "You're not chopping off the arm of my squadmate, beanpole!"

"I don't see you coming up with a better idea, Meathead!" Jack said with a glare.

"Fellas! Fellas!" Acer said coming in between them, "there's no need to be at each other's throats."

"As much as it pains me to say it, Acer is right." Nolan said, "we gotta figure out how are we gonna handle this, the kids obviously can't see her arm in this condition." He looked over to Acer, "Get her Familiars, now."

Acer had said, "hey, I was about to do that."

"Oh and if your nephew asks please keep it on the DL." Nolan added.

"Nolan, have you met me?" Acer asked.

"Actually-" Yami said, shocking them, "-Wait till morning, and get Asta, Feodora, Karasu and Noelle too."

Nolan and Acer looked shocked at this sort of thing. "Why them?" Nolan asked.

"It's about time Prism knew something-" Yami said as Prism herself looked shocked, "-Though it's better if she hears it from them and not me. Besides-" He soon lit his cigarette with the help of a match before he took a puff, "-I've got something in mind on how to help her."


(Second Opening Theme: Sunday's Without God-Birth Opening Performed By Kitamura Eri)

That morning, Prism ended up staying in her room to avoid panic from the Triple A's as well as Jubei and Vandy. Prism was trying real hard not to panic right then and there, and was surprised how she could still sleep that night. She was understandably scared of the situation and she didn't even know how she should react to this sort of thing.

She knew Asta, Feodora, Karasu and Noelle weren't prepared for it when they had seen it with her Familiars.

Though what she didn't expect was what they had to tell her; she listened carefully with what they had to tell her. Though she had to admit… It was all very hard to believe.

Right now she had been trying to process the whole thing, trying to make it all make sense in her head; she had been sitting on her bed with her legs crossed like a pretzel.

Asta, Feodora, Noelle and the Familiars had awaited patiently as Prism had remained silent from this sort of thing.

Finally, Asta had broken the silence, "Prism… Are you… Gonna be okay?"

"...I… I don't know…" Prism replied as she found her hand shaking, "... Let me-" She took a deep breath, "-Let me see, if I got this right. Everytime, I enter the Trance-I actually try to take mana from people?"

"Yeah-" Karasu replied, "-I'll be the first to admit, it was a little scary, but it's what you do when you get those hunger pains."

"So far, you don't remember anything that's happened from it." Feodora added, "And the Trance lasts for a couple of days, depending on how you use your grimoire."

"And-" Prism said, as she looked over to Noelle, "-Is that why-I attacked you before? Back when I first burned my arms?"

"You almost made a meal out of me and the stupid Barbados." Noelle added with a nod, "It's understandable since we have a high amount of mana."

"Bi-Bime i elena…" Prism said, as she ran her fingers through her hair, "... I… Can't believe I tried to do that…"

"We didn't want to believe it either." Brenin said, "Until we saw it with our own eyes."

"Prism we're really sorry-" Asta said, "-We really wanted to tell you but Captain Yami-"

"No." Prism said, as it had surprised Asta, "There's no need to apologize. I was the one that wanted to tell Yami in the first place. I-Kind of figured that's what he wanted to do anyway if something happened to me. So I don't blame you."

"Wait, seriously?" Feodora said shocked, "You really expected that?"

"Why?" Noelle asked, "How?"

The Familiars looked to Prism as they soon had a look of understanding. "I see-" Brenin said, "-That does make sense."

Liam clicked his tongue, "That human is a pain."

"Though I do have to admit, he's clever." Saorise said.

"Okay-No offense, it's kind of creepy how you can do that." Karasu said.

"Hey, it's one of the perks of being a Familiar." Saorise said.

"What are you talking about?" Noelle said.

"Plu-Plu and his family spent a whole year living with Yami and the others-" Prism soon explained, "-Meaning they had to tell them exactly how I would act, and how the Spirits would react too. And you saw how they acted before when I got scared. They just attacked anyone or anything that's around them. It was like that in Airedale too."

"Then you're not upset about us keeping this from you?" Karasu asked.

"I mean even if I was-" Prism said before she looked at her scale arm, "-I doubt you could come up with a cover story for this sort of thing."

"... That's true." Asta said with a sheepish laugh.

"That means I forgive you too Plu-Plu!" Prism said as she looked towards the door, which they looked confused by; especially since they heard a loud thump just on the other side. "I know you're listening, so you can come in if you want!" Prism said.

"Ow.." They heard Pluck say before he opened the door; they noticed he had been hopping on one foot. As he shut the door behind him, he immediately had a look of shock as he got a good look at her arm. "Oh mana! Your Arm-! Was this part of the-"

"Ye-Yeah-" Prism said nervously as they ignored the shocked faces from the group, "-It kind of happened last night. I can't really move it."

"WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?!" Asta shouted as Nero, who had been sitting on his head, rolled her eyes.

"HOW LONG WERE YOU OUT THERE STUCK UP?!" Feodora shouted.

Addeline waddled to Prism's arm after hopping up on her bed. She gave it a poke with her stick, "Quack, quack?"

"I don't know if she can feel it!" Pluck said, before he looked at Prism, as he gave a confused look, "Can you feel it?"

"I can." Prism said, "It's just moving it, that's the problem."

"WILL YOU ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION?!" Feodora shouted.

"WHY WERE YOU JUST OUTSIDE THE DOOR LIKE A PEEPER?!" Karasu yelled.

Pluck turned to Feodora and Karasu as he said with a straight face look. "oh hey guys."

"WHY ARE YOU RESPONDING TO US LIKE THAT?!" Feodora and Karasu shouted.

"SERIOUSLY, ARE YOU PRACTICING TO BE A PEEPER?!" Noelle shouted before she crossed her arms over her chest, "OH MY GOD, THAT'S WHAT THIS IS, ISN'T IT?!"

Pluck only gave a look before he used his Gum sword and covered her face as she shrieked. He sighed as he said "Finally, That was such a noisy fly. Wait-" They soon jumped when Pluck smacked his head on the wall before he casually said, "Why did I do that?"

"I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that." Feodora said.

"Seriously though, why were you out there?!" Asta freaked out, "I thought Yami only asked us to be here, no offense!"

Prism gave a sheepish smile before she replied, "It's uh-Kind of what Plu-Plu's been doing every time he's excluded from something important."

"That explains a lot." Karasu said.

"And you said you're not a mother hen." Feodora said before she saw Noelle ready to walk towards the window with the gum in her face. "Hey Pluck, can you do something about that?"

"Oh right." Pluck said as he took the gum sword and it ripped off Noelle's face as she gave a yelp. Her face had been red as she felt around.

"At least you didn't rip a strand of hair off me, peasant!" Noelle said with a huff with Pluck only sticking his tongue out in response.

Prism sighed, "What am I going to do? I can't walk around in public with this, everyones gonna freak out."

"Cut it off?" Karasu said casually. Prism let out another shriek before she retreated underneath her bed sheets which shocked them. They all soon gave Karasu a look, "Uh-Sorry."

"Quack Quack..." Addeline said to him as she shook her head. "Quack Quack."

"There, there-" Saorise said as he patted her on the back as she shivered, "-The Captains said they called in the best researchers from the department, and they were recommended by the Wizard King himself. Well to be more precise we've met them before, so they're going to do everything they can to help you."

Prism poked her head out of the blankets, "We-Have met them?"

"You did-" Brenin said, "-But that was technically when you were still in the Trance. And-You have no way of remembering that."

"Ringo is a part of the department!" Saorise said.

"Oh my gosh really?" Prism said in awe, as the spirits looked excited as they shifted colors.

"Have I met them too?" Theodore asked as he looked to be eating leftovers from Prism's breakfast; his eyes had been pink as his face looked to be covered in jelly.

"Uh-No, you weren't there little dude." Feodora told him.

Theodore only scoffed as his eyes shifted to blue, "I could have been with you all in spirit."

"You didn't even know we existed!" Noelle pointed out.

"Oh yeah…" Theodore said as his eyes were gray. Addeline gave him a bonk as she said "QUACK!"

"Ow that hurts!" Theodore said, "Is it because I didn't share you any toast?"

Addeline only bonked him again as she said "QUACK QUACK!"

"What do you mean you wanted French Toast!?" Theodore shouted as his eyes shifted green, "I saw you eyeing my grape jelly! I CALLED DIBS FIRST!"

"QUACK, QUACK!"

"OH YEAH, BRING IT MISS TURKEY!"

Soon the two began to fight in a puff of smoke as they could hear Theodore let out a war cry. Pluck could only exclaim "NOT THE BABY!"

"Hey, those two act like you and the Drama-Llama?" Feodora said.

"NO!" Pluck and Noelle shouted before they looked at each other, they gave a scowl before turning away with a huff. "Adrien, would you mind?" Prism asked Adrien who had been sitting at her bedside.

Adrien took a deep breath before he let out a roar; the very sound made Theodore and Addeline jump and freeze before they broke off from each other. They were both on their backs as they showed their stomachs to Adrien. He only let out a huff before he placed his head on Prism's lap when she sat up again.

"Thanks bud." She said as she scratched his head.

"I know I said it before-" Asta said, as his eyes sparkled, "-But Adrien's really cool!"

Prism only smiled before she had a troubled look again; the others had been quick to notice. "Hey-Everythings going to be just fine." Asta told her, "We're going to figure this out together."

"As much as I don't like to say it-But he's right." Liam said, "So don't be upset Shortcake."

"I-Really hope so-" Prism said scratching her scale arm a little, "-It's-Kind of strange not being able to move this."

KNOCK, KNOCK-Went the door as it made them jump. "Lizard Girl-" They heard Yami say behind the door, "-The nerds are here."

"Co-Come in." Prism said.

The door soon opened revealing a familiar set of faces, at least to Feodora, the Familiars and Pluck. "Princess Prism!" Samelt said as Ringo helped push him in on his wheelchair, though he had a smile on his face, "I'm so glad we get to meet you officially! It is an honor to speak with the real you!"

"Hello-" Prism said to Samlet, before she noticed Pluck's cousin, "-Ringo! It is you!"

"Hey there Prism. Long time no see." Ringo added with a wave before turning to Pluck. "Hello again, Pluck. I hope you're not causing trouble."

"I'm not cousin Ringo." Pluck told him.

"COUSIN?!" Asta and Noelle in particular shouted in confusion.

"Just how many family members does this family have?" Noelle asked

Theodore giggled, "You guys are like rabbits!"

"STOP." Pluck told him.

"Ringo, I can't believe it-!" Prism said, with a smile, "-I would hug you but uh-" She soon gestured to her scale arm.

"Right-" Ringo said, "Juli-I mean, his majesty the Wizard King informed us after Captain Yami and William had reported what happened."

"Well on the one hand it's extraordinary, but albeit alarming-" Samlet said, "-Rest assured, we'll get to the bottom of this, your highness."

"Thank you." Prism said, "I appreciate it so much, Mr-"

"Dr. Samlet Banes, your Highness." Samlet said, "I'm one of the scientists in the Research Department of the Capital. Though they were supposed to be three of us-Ringo where's-"

CRASH!

The group jumped before they saw a woman rushing to get to the room only for her to trip before she regained her position.

"SORRY I'M LATE!" Hannah exclaimed, "I just came back from the appraiser!"

"Hannah!" Prism exclaimed out of surprise.

"Oh hey Hannah." Pluck said.

"Oh, then you got that errand done?" Samlet asked.

"Ye-Yeah it wasn't easy!" Hannah replied, "I had to pay almost all of my wage. He should have no problems getting the information we need."

"Information, on what?" Prism asked.

"On precisely this." Samlet replied, gesturing to her scale arm, "Originally my research team had been tasked to study the Wandering Mist where you were resting, and find a way to reach you. Though soon after the Mist disappeared, and when you were first brought before the Wizard King, we now aid in whatever matter concerns you. He even brought your grimoire to our attention when he first brought you."

Prism looked a bit confused before she recalled the day she first met Julius. "So that's why he was holding my grimoire before." She said softly.

"Of course, to start we had to really look into a few things. Starting with the Wandering Mist." Ringo said, "Even after it's vanished, I'm still trying to figure out the darn thing."

"Ah, and you must be the other one that found her highness in the tree!" Samlet said, looking to Asta in particular, "Not to mention, you, Miss Helmet and the other one, Yuno survived the Wandering Mist with your minds still intact!"

"Uh-Nice to meet you." Asta said with a sheepish smile.

Before Asta knew it, Hannah was suddenly face to face with him which caused him to jump back with a shriek. "Wow! This really is the anti-magic boy I keep hearing about! It's nice to meet you. I'm Hannah!"

"N-Nice to meet you." Asta said nervously as he still had his sheepish smile.

"Hey, Hannah! Personal space!" Pluck said as he pulled her back. "You're scaring the dude!"

"What?" Hannah said, "I was just asking questions. It's what I do!"

"Well not like that!" Pluck told her.

"What are you doing here, Sword Boy?" Yami asked him as he gave him a look, "I thought I only asked those four to be here."

Pluck gave Yami a look before he told him, "Oh and leave me in the dark? No way!"

"For a good reason too." Noelle said as it earned her a glare from Pluck. "Oh don't give me that look."

Yami soon told Pluck, "Seriously, why did you have to butt in?"

"Prism's my best friend, sure I worry to an extreme but the last thing I want to see is her hurt or worse!" Pluck added, "Besides, I may be an honest guy, but I can keep a secret you know!"

"Pluck-I didn't ask for you here with good reason." Yami told him before he gestured to Prism, "How do you think she would've reacted if you were the one to tell her about what she tries to do while in that Trance?"

Pluck was about to realtor but he couldn't find an answer then. "She needs to take things at her own pace-" Yami explained, "-Your honesty about it all would only have put stress on her."

"But I-" Pluck started to say before he put his head down.

Prism's gaze softened at this, "Plu-Plu?" She soon said, "It's okay. Please don't be mad at Yami for his decision. I already told you before-I forgive you."

Pluck couldn't help but smile at her as he said, "Thank you, Prism."

Prism only smiled before the group had been shocked when Yami gave her a smack on the head.

"Hey, what the hell do you think you're doing?!" Liam said.

Yami soon told Prism, ignoring Liam, "Oi, don't forgive him that easily?"

"But, he's my best friend, why wouldn't I forgive him?" Prism asked before she felt herself get smacked again. "Ow!" She cried.

"There you go again." Yami said.

"SERIOUSLY CAPTAIN, DO YOU HAVE TO SMACK HER?!" Asta exclaimed, "SHE ALREADY SAID SHE FORGIVES HIM!"

"I do agree with him, she shouldn't forgive him so easily." Noelle added. "Especially how Barbados acts towards her."

"Not helping." Feodora told her as she gave a light slap on the head.

"If you don't mind-" They soon heard a familiar voice say. They soon noticed that William had entered the room, along with Nolan and Jack; it had been William that had been the one to speak up. "-We have a pressing matter that needs our attention."

"Right, yes of course." Samlet said. He soon rummaged through his pockets before he started. He took hold of the scale arm, "Let's take a look then."

Thus Samlet, Ringo and Hannah started to examine the arm, minding the silver scales that had replaced her skin. The others had waited patiently for them to come to a conclusion. Each of the teens had been anxious as ever while the adults, though most were nervous; especially Pluck though he did his best to hide it.

"I appreciate you doing this." Nolan said to the Captains.

"It's no trouble at all." William said.

"KEKE-Don't mention it!" Jack added

"No really, it means alot." Nolan said, "Before Zeid made Airedale, the Elders used to teach us that all humans were selfish and greedy. It's nice to know some of them aren't all that bad."

"Huh, you don't say?" Yami said while taking a puff, "It's no wonder Yuki hated Cad back then before they decided to hit off… In more ways than one.."

Nolan only laughed, "Don't remind me."

"How about the others?" William asked, "How are they taking it?"

"They're just worried about their friend. They're almost as scared as Pluck is." Nolan replied, "We didn't want any of them to faint, so Gooden took the triplets and the kids out shopping to help take their mind off of it."

"Good call.": Yami said before he added softly, "They did say they were looking for a gift for Prism."

"Really?" Nolan asked intrigued, "Though her birthday isn't till December."

"KEKE-I just hope it doesn't lead to some troublesome crap again." Jack said.

Nolan only looked confused, "What's that supposed to me-"

"Don't ask." Yami said immediately, cutting him off.

Niwa had been at the foot of Prism's bed as they had just been finishing up the examination.

"Alright-" Samlet said, "-I think I might be seeing the issue. Though before I speak my theory, I just need to obtain blood from this arm."

"Really?" Prism said, "How come?"

"It's so we can be more thorough in our investigation." Samlet said as he took out a syringe, "In case we're wrong about this."

"I know you can't move the arm, but try to hold still." Hannah said.

"Uh-Okay." Prism said as she was a bit confused.

"Hannah, Ringo, be ready to hold it down just in case our theory turns out to be true." Samlet said.

Ringo and Hannah nodded before Prism felt them put pressure on their arm which she found a bit odd as the spirits changed to a color of yellow. Samlet had prepped the needle as he found some flesh between the silver scales. Though before he could prick Prism, Niwa suddenly hopped onto the bed as he had his beak in between the needle and the syringe; Samlet let out a shriek in surprise while Hannah and Ringo remained un

"Niwa!" Prism and Pluck exclaimed.

"Hey Bad Rooster." Ringo scolded, "Let her go."

Niwa had the stare as Samlet jumped back again as he shrieked. "Where did this chicken come from?!"

"He's a rooster actually." Brenin clarified, "He's very sensitive if people call him a chicken."

"Uh-" Asta said, "-Why is he doing that?"

"Well he is a guard rooster, so I guess he's guarding me?" Prism replied sheepishly.

"Even for shots?!" Feodora said.

Niaw hopped up on her arm as he only gave Samlet a look towards him in particular. "He is staring at me-"

"Niwa!" Hannah scolded "This isn't anything bad, we just need a blood sample!"

As Hannah tried to pull, Niwa just stared as he kept his beak on the needle.

"Niwa, come on! Let go! You're gonna break it!" Ringo said as he tried to pull him off. Despite this he kept a firm grip Niwa still held on as he had his stare.

"Se-Seriously, what is wrong with that rooster?" Noelle asked.

"I think he was really dropped when he was an egg." Feodora said.

"Huh?" Liam said, "It's just Niwa. Unless you're threatening one of us, he doesn't mean any harm."

"This is seriously normal for you?!" Karasu said, shocked.

"Well, yeah." Pluck said with a shrug.

"You get used to him, especially when he pops out of nowhere." Saorise said.

"He refers to it as stealth mode." Brenin said.

Yami soon groaned before he went over to Prism's bedside and grabbed Niwa's neck as he let go of the needle. Yami lifted him up as he looked at him in the eyes before he said "Hey Rooster, Relax. Unless you wanna be turkey. Let the doctor's work their magic."

Niwa, unfazed by his threat couldn't help but stare at Yami with his signature look before he saisd "Wow, nothing really fazes him." He soon turned over to Samlet, "Go ahead, take the blood."

Samlet nodded, before Hannah and Ringo held down Prism's arm again. This time the syringe had gone in between her scales as he extracted only a small amount of blood. Though most were surprised to see when the syringe filled up-It had been purple instead of red.

"Purple blood?" Asta said, shocked.

"What in the-?" Feodora said.

"Ah-" Samlet said as he removed the syringe, "-It might be just as we suspected afterall." He soon handed the syringe to Ringo, "Hold onto this till we get back to the lab."

"Huh? Why are you giving it to Ringo?!" Hannah said, confused.

"Because, unlike your husband, you have very slippery hands." Samlet said.

"Hey!" Hananah said with a pout.

"Wait, did he just say husband?" Asta asked.

"Yeah, Hannah and I are married, it's not a big deal." Ringo said with a wave of his hand.

"EXCUSE ME! IT'S A HUGE DEAL!" Hannah shouted as she slapped Ringo silly.

Ringo only told her, "Do that and someone's not getting their reward when we get home."

Hannah gasped before she cried "RINGO YOU MEANIE!"

"Gross." Jack said.

Yami added, "TMI you two."

"Of course he would say that." Noelle said "Are all Barbados Men Perverse."

"Shut up, Stupid Silva." Pluck told her as he gave a light slap on the head which made her pout.

"Excuse me-" William said, "-But you just said as you suspected. What did you mean by that?"

Samlet sighed as he removed his glasses, "Well, I need you all to brace yourselves for this, especially you, your highness."

"Please, just Prism is fine." Prism said, "Or whatever you'd prefer to call me, you don't have to address me as your highness because of me."

"Right, of course-" Samlet said as he nodded in understanding, "-Well there's no easy way to say Lady Prism but-" Samlet's words had started to trail off as he looked like he had been struggling. "Mr. Banes?" Prism said with worry as she noticed the look on his face, "Is… Everything okay?"

"To put it bluntly-" Samelt said as he adjusted himself on wheelchair, "-The reason why you can't move your arm is quite simple."

"The arm-" Ringo soon said, "-It's not actually your arm."

Prism and the others looked shocked at this sort of thing and even had Theodore, Adrien, Nero and even Niwa taken back by this sort of information. If Prim had been standing right now, she would've fainted on the spot. As the spirits shifted color, she found Brenin had spoken up first.

"What do you mean it's not her arm?" Brenin asked, "Are you saying her arm vanished?!"

"No, no, not exactly." Ringo said, "See, it is her arm, yet this one isn't the one she normally uses."

"Her arm is her arm but it's not her arm?" Asta said as his head had been steaming.

"It's official, you lost me." Feodora said.

Pluck had been trying to process it as he said, "Yeah I don't understand it.."

"I may like puzzles but-" Saorise said, "-You're kind of vague there."

"Were those even words?" Liam asked.

"Allow me to rephrase-" Hannah said, "-Our theory is, this arm belongs to the very beast that causes Prism to turn feral and hunt for mana when it or in this case both of them get hungry for it."

"You mean-" Asta said, "-From the last time she changed feral. It's the same arm from back then?"

"It's exactly that Master Asta!" Samlet said as it had shocked Prism again, "We believe they're both connected. Because the mana Lady Prism has collected thus far has been changing her body it would make sense whenever it comes out now the scale arm would come out as well."

Theodore groaned as he had been trying to process it all, "This is making me feel stupid, with all these really big words!" He said. Prism seemed to have snapped out of her initial shock as she took Theodore, as she placed him on her lap. He immediately hugged her as he whimpered.

"This arm-" Prism said looking at the scale arm, "-It… Belongs to whatever's inside me?"

"What does this have to do with her not being able to move it?" Feodora asked.

"That would be my theory." Ringo said before turning to Karasu, "Arai, right? You filed a report that the beast in her had gotten impatient with gathering mana, when she came in contact with the Cursed Totem, didn't you?"

Most of the teens looked at Karasu questiongly as he himself had been taken back. Karasu only sighed, before he spoke up, "It was just a hypothesis, as you would say I came up with in my head during the whole Cursed Item thing. Since the Cap here forbad her from going on missions until she fully recovered from her wounds it was the first thing that came to me."

"Then there was no reason why it wouldn't try again now wouldn't it?" Ringo said as this sort of statement shocked Karasu. He soon turned his attention towards Asta and Feodora, "Now when she first went to attack Noelle, what exactly did she do before that time?"

Asta and Feodora had gotten oddly nervous at this as they couldn't help but recall. It was out of instinct they hid their wrists where Prism had bitten them behind their backs before they gave each other a look. It had almost as though they had been communicating.

"Well-" Asta soon said as they both came to a conclusion in their head, "-After we were almost hit by Noelle's magic, Prism looked like she was in pain with her stomach and then-" Asta soon stopped himself when he had come to realize something. Feodora seemed to have come to the same conclusion.

"-She ended up passing out." Feodora said.

It soon hit the teens and the Captains as they thought about it. Prism however only looked confused at this sort of thing, as she noticed the look they had.

"O-Oh my Gods…" Noelle said.

"I-Actually didn't think about that." Karasu said.

Pluck added as he wrote it down in his notes, "Amazing, you mean there's a lot we can learn from this baby dragon that lives inside Prism!"

"But-" Prism soon said, "-Why would it take over when I'm asleep?"

"Because the mind is at its weakest when it's asleep." Samlet explained, "As we've seen the baby isn't stupid. It knew Master Asta, Yuno, Lady Feodora, and Master Arai were your friends, it recognized Yami as an alpha, it knows how to hunt and from what we understand from Pluck's notes that I asked from the last visit-It knew how to walk in your body."

Prism had been taken back at this sort of thing, "Are-Are you serious?"

"Yeah-" Pluck replied, "-The night you tried to take Noelle and my mana, you-Or rather it was walking on both of your legs. It was struggling but it didn't fall over as it walked in your body. It just did it without any troubles."

"It happened when you first entered the Trance too." Feodora admitted, "Asta and I didn't think much on it back then since we didn't know what was going on."

"Wait-" Asta said, before he looked at Pluck, "-You actually wrote all that down?"

Pluck only gave a sheepish look as he said, "oh yeah, it's kind of my thing."

"Still the same old Pluck." Nolan said as he shook

"Hold on a second-" Liam said, "-If the baby was trying to take over last night, what stopped it from doing so?"

"Perhaps it was interrupted before it could complete what little of a form it has so far." Samlet said, "Hence why the Princess has this arm in the first place."

Prism couldn't help but have a thought come over her as she tried to move her scale arm again. "The nightmare I woke up from-" She thought, "-Was that what stopped it from coming out?"

"So, how do we help Prism to change back?" Brenin asked.

"That I'm afraid is uncertain." Samlet said, "Perhaps her grimoire might have something. Maybe an incantation we've missed, or at the very least a clue."

"You think those are connected?" Nolan asked.

"One can never be too sure." Samlet said.

"Where do you keep your grimoire?" Ringo asked Prism.

Prism cradled Theodore in one arm as she replied, "It's in the dresser when I'm not using it. In the top drawer."

"I got it!" Asta said before he went over to the dresser. He opened the drawer to find her grimoire and what looked to be a small box he had never seen before which took him back a little. "That box-" Asta thought as he remembered where he had seen it before, "--Did she pick it up from back in the dungeon?""

Asta soon shook it off, before he took her grimoire from where it was as the grimoire had been faced down. "Here it is!" Asta said, handing it over to Ringo, Samlet and Hannah. "Ah, that is much appreciated Master Asta!" Samlet said as he flipped it over so that the cover was facing him. It was then that Prism, the Familiars, Asta, Feodora, Karasu and even the Captains noticed something… Had been off.

"Now let's take a look and-" Ringo said.

"Wait, wait, wait-" Feodora said as she stopped them from opening the cover, "-Somethings wrong."

"What do you mean?" Nolan asked.

"It's the cover-" Feodora said, "-Somethings wrong with it."

"What are you talking about?" Noelle asked.

"Guys, look, I know it's a five leafed grimoire, but you don't have to be-" Pluck started to say.

"No, it's not that." Karasu said, "The cover! The silhouette of that dragon! There's something wrong with it!"

Samlet looked to the cover as they could see the silhouette of a dragon on the cover, ready to eat the clover at the very center. "I don't see anything wrong." Samlet said.

"No look, at its arn!" Asta said pointing at the cover, "Well arms! Don't you see?! One of them is missing!"

"Missing?" Samlet, Ringo, and Hannah said confused as they looked at the cover again. William soon took the grimoire from them as he examined it for himself, "There were two arms on the cover reaching out to the clover… Now there's one."

The group looked over the cover again as they saw it had been true. The dragon silhouette only had one arm on its body.

"Huh, I never even noticed it when we first saw it.." Pluck said as he took a peek.

""What does this mean?" Noelle asked. "Is her Grimore changing?"

"No-" Nolan said, as he took the grimoire for a closer inspection, "-I don't think it's that simple. It's not just its arm that's missing… It's the right arm." He and the others looked to Prism as she had been processing this fact, "The same arm that Prism has right now."

Jack soon said, "KEKE-so it's like a swap!"

"Are you telling me-" Prism said, "-The dragon on the cover… And the one I have-Is one and the same-?"

"But that can't be right!" Samlet said, in disbelief, "Everyone knows the existence of dragons has been extinct since the time of ancient ones! Only the Salamander spirits like the one on Prism's head are the only remnants of their existence!"

"Yeah-" Asta said before he had a confused look, "-Wait, why were they important again?"

"ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" Noelle shouted.

"You mean, you really don't know?" Liam asked, before he clicked his tongue, "You really are dumb, aren't you human?"

"HEY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE RUDE!" Asta shouted.

"Seriously, this is also new for me." Karasu said, "Are they important in your country?"

"Papa Rhy used to tell me and Prism all sorts of things about them! It is said that the dragons were the original keepers of magic." Saorise soon started to explain as it had gotten their attention, "According to the stories, before the discovery of grimoires they were mankind's teachers in the ways of mana. They were the purest creatures in the four Kingdoms." Her expression soon softened as her ears dropped, "That was until-"

"Until what?" Asta asked.

"Until the Days of Blood, when mankind had gotten the first grimoire." Prism said, "Rhya said-The dragons were hunted and killed by the first Hunters. They were lead to believe-That a dragon's blood could grant eternal youth if they consumed enough. But in the stories, the dragons used their blood to heal the sick and wounded. When the first Kings drank the blood, it poisoned them instead of granting them eternal youth. Legends have it, the dragons cursed their own blood to poison upon their death as punishment for their greed."

"Yeesh, talk about an extreme failsafe.." Yami said.

"KEKE-The dragon's really do have a pair." Jack said.

"You said cursed?" Feodora said, a bit shocked, "I thought Devils were the only ones that could curse things."

Prism, and the Familiars looked a bit shocked at Feodora, as they didn't expect her to know such a detail. Though they decided not to comment on it for now as Brenin spoke up, "Well-We don't know if this is true, from the stories, but the dragons not only knew how to use mana, they knew how to use the Forbidden Arts as well. In other words-"

"-They knew a thing or two about Anti-Magic. They kept it from all creatures alike, to protect everyone, in case a Devil came into this realm." Liam said before he shrugged, "But like we said, it's only a story."

"Wouldn't the same apply for curse magic users?" Karasu asked.

"No, not if they wanted to put one on someone permanently." Pluck replied, "I've only read it in books, but Anti-Magic has more permanent results. How do you think they're Cursed Items?"

"We can worry about that later-" William said, "-For now, we need to figure out the best way we can help her highness right now."

"But how?" Prism said, "I can't use magic, and I can't even use a cloaking item to hide this."

"There has to be some way we can change it back to your own!" Nolan said.

"There's another way we can help the kid." Yami said. "Though it's gonna take her full cooperation."

The group only looked puzzled at this sort of thing; Prism especially as the spirits around her turned into a shade of yellow. Even Theodore looked at him with curious eyes as he cocked his head a little.


The next thing Prism knew she had found herself in the backyard with Yami as he looked to be setting up what looked to be a pair of mats; one for himself and one for her, which she couldn't quite understand in the slightest. Though some of the spirits looked to be losing their color as she had been practically the arm; or at least that's it would be, if Brenin, Saorise and Liam hadn't been helping her hold it up and Adrien had been helping her to walk.

"Uh Yami-" Prism said, as he kicked a mat in place, "-Are you sure it's safe to be out here? What if someone sees me with this?"

"Don't worry, that's why we got that rooster right?" Yami asked. "Speaking off, where is he?"

They soon heard a scream as they looked to Noelle who latched on to Pluck as if she was a cat. They looked to Niwa as he was only standing were Noelle' used to stand.

"Oi, Stupid Silva...retract the claws or you get the paws." Pluck said with a growl as he got his cat paw sword.

SMACK-Went Nolan as he smacked the grimoire out of his hand. "Now's not the time for your couples quarrel with your teammate." Nolan said.

"And Niwa don't practice your stealth mode on Noelle. She's too easy." Ringo said before he was suddenly on Hannah's head.

"That's better." Hannah said as she fed him a cricket.

"I don't get it-" Asta said, "-What are you going to do Captain?"

"How are mats supposed to help Prism?" Feodora asked.

Yami replied as he took a puff from his cigarette, "Oh, we're not gonna use them."

"Huh?" Prism said confused.

"Eh?" Most of the group minus Karasu had said.

"Ah-" William said, "-I see where this is going."

"KEKE-Typical meathead." Jack said.

"We're gonna be meditating with them." Yami explained.

Prism looked oddly at this as did the Familiars. Asta, Feodora and even Noelle looked a bit confused as well. "Meditation?" Prism said, What's that?"

"You basically sit in one place and relax your mind." Yami told them.

"That sounds boring." Liam said nonchalantly, as Adrien let out a squawk.

"Hey don't knock it till you try it." Yami said to him with a glare as it only made Liam roll his eyes.

"I still don't get it-" Asta said, "-How is this supposed to help Prism?"

"Is this something humans do naturally or-" Nolan said, "-Is this something in your home country?"

"Not exactly-" Yami said, "-It's something that helps me focus on the energy from myself and everything around me."

"The… Energy around?" Prism said as she was helped onto the mat, while Yami sat on the mat across from her, "What do you mean?"

"Yami explained, "You see that flower there?" Prism looked over to a tulip that had been growing as she nodded. "Inside that flower, us and even that rock, they all radiate Ki energy."

"Ki?" Prism said.

"The hell is Ki?" Feodora asked.

"It's a form of energy in all things." Karasu soon explained, "Think of it as a form of blood, only it's something you can't see or touch. Where I come from, the samurai use it as a way to channel energy to fight back."

"Really, that's insane!" Asta said, "Wait, can you use it too?"

"How do you think I got around as a thief?" Karasu said with a smug look.

"Is that true?" Prism asked Yami, "Do you really channel that sort of thing?"

Yami had replied, "In a sense. But for now, let's focus on the basics, that's the energy in you-" He soon gave her scale arm a pat, "-And this."

Prism only looked shocked at this sort of thing as she looked to her scale arm, "You mean… This has its own Ki too?"

"I've known about it for a while." Yami explained, "When you entered the Trance, the Ki I sensed from you, wasn't yours. I sensed you faintly, but this lizard mostly occupied it."

"You sensed me even when I was in the Trance?!" Prism said in both shock and awe, "That's incredible!"

"Don't mention it." Yami told her, "Now-I had my own little theory, that this beast inside you doesn't want you hurt. In fact, I don't think it has any intention of hurting you at all."

"How do you think that?" Brenin asked.

"It might be a hunch or-" Yami said, "-Maybe it's the fact it doesn't try to force itself out. It only takes over when you're asleep."

"Now that I think about it-" Asta soon said, "-It was actually harmless the last few times it was out."

"The only times it-Or well she attacked, was because she was hungry." Feodora said, "Other than that-It didn't make her hurt us."

Pluck had said as he looked over his notes, "Bime i elena you're right!"

"Would you stop that?!" Karasu and Noelle shouted as it made him flinch.

"Honestly what is with you and notes?!" Karasu asked.

"It's constantly annoying!" Noelle added.

"I don't wanna hear that from you, you warg kisser." Pluck told Noelle as the two glared.

"Quiet over there!" Yami told them, "For this to work we need ABSOLUTE silence. That means if you're gonna bicker-" He soon had a glare as it made Pluck and Noelle hug one another, "-TAKE IT ELSEWHERE, LOVEBIRDS."

"Y-Yes sir!" Pluck and Noelle said as they shook.

"So-" Prism said, "-What am I supposed to do?"

"Well, I was originally planning on teaching you this till we got back to the base-" Yami explained, "-But given your arm changed into this, we're gonna have to make an exception. Now, the baby lizard likes the smoothies infused with mana. If I'm right about this, you're gonna tell it that it'll get what it wants, and wait patiently for when you meet with it."

"... What makes you think it's gonna want to see me?" Prism asked.

"Because if it was really going to hurt you, it would've done something incredibly stupid to your body by now." Yami said. "So go give it a try."

Prism looked unsure as some of the spirits shifted slightly. Even the Familiars sensed her uneasiness as did Adrien as they each went to comfort her.

"Hey Pri!" She soon heard Asta call out, "Don't worry about anything okay? Everything's gonna be fine!" He soon had a smile on his face, "Afterall, was there any reason to doubt Yami before?"

Prism couldn't help but turn red as some of the spirits shifted to pink, which Nolan seemed to have taken notice of.

Noelle could only puff her cheeks as she could only thought "Why is he giving her words of encouragement? I can give something better than that! Wait-why is this bothering me?!"

"Okay Yami-" Prism soon said to the Captain, "-Where should I start first?"

"First off-" Yami said. "-Sit up straight."

Prism did just that as the Familiars took a step back.

"Close your eyes." He told her.

She soon shut her eyes as the Spirits gathered around.

"Now-As you're breathing-" Yami told her, "-I want you to focus on the sounds around you. From the wind, to the insects in the grass and trees. Use whatever is around you to help you clear your mind of all of your thoughts."

As she took deep breaths, she focused on the sounds around her, and listened in a way she never did before. It was almost as though her senses had become enhanced, as she could even hear the people chatting outside of the vicinity of the safehouse.

"Now-" Yami soon told her, "-Block out all distractions, and reach out."

Most of the group nearly fainted when they saw Prism reach out-Literally. Yami only gave a nonchalant look as he saw Prism's hand had been out. Rolling his eyes he took a long blade of grass before he started to wiggle the tip in between her fingers.

"He-Hey! I feel something!" Prism said as some of the Spirits shifted to a bright and curious color.

"Oh you do?" Yami asked. "How does it feel?"

"It feels kind of-Strange." She replied, "Is it supposed to feel like that?"

"Yeah, that's your Ki." Hr told her

"Really? It feels kind of funny." She said.

Yami told her, "Oh yeah, it does?"

"Well I mean does it normally feel-"

SLAP!

Prism let out a shriek as most of the group jumped when Yami slapped her hand; she opened her eyes as she gave him a questioning look. Though one look in his eyes, Prism could just tell what he was thinking.

"By reach out, you meant-" Prism said as she gestured to her chest.

Yami told her as he pinched the bridge of his nose, "We REALLY have a lot of work to do."

"Did… He really just do that?" Asta said.

"I got the meaning but was that necessary?" Pluck asked.

"Now, I'm worried." Feodora said.

"... Why didn't he just tell her what he meant?" Liam said with a scowl.

"... He is one strange human." Saorise said.

"That he is." Brenin said with a nod.

"And you're sure he's the right person?" Noelle asked.

Yami soon bonked Prism on the head, "Try that again, and this time, actually REACH out."

"R-Right, of course." Prism said sheepishly.

Prism soon took a deep breath, as she cleared her mind; the sounds helped her steady her heartbeat as she focused and cleared her mind. It was almost as though she had been listening to a beating drum, until finally… The sounds seemed to have changed.


DRIP…. DRIP….

Upon opening her eyes she found herself sitting in what looked to be the middle of the ocean from what it seemed like. Though the world around her had been discolored and not to mention her vision had been a bit distorted. "H-Huh?" Prism said, a bit shocked, "What is this?"

She soon groaned as she felt her eyes throb, "Ow-My eyes… It's so hard to see, what is this place?"

"Ma… Na… Ma… Na…."

She was startled by the sound of what she could tell was that of a cry, as she noticed it had been coming from behind her. Getting up from where she sat she approached to where she had heard it's cry as she stepped towards the sound the ground around her began to shake making her stumble.

The world started to rotate itself until she found herself standing upside down, as the water didn't even spill. As it started to steady itself she noticed she had been standing in front of what looked to be a large nest that had been entirely made of wood, and moss as far as she could tell.

The cries came again.

"Ma...Na… Ma… Na…"

"He-Hello?" Prism soon said as she approached the nest, "Is anyone there?"

"Ma… Na… Ma… Na…"

Prism placed her hand on the branches as she could hear something breath beyond it.

"You're really in there?" She said as she started to lose her fear, "Aren't you?"

She could only hear the creature breath softly, as if it had responded to her. She didn't know why, but even though she couldn't see the creature, she… Somehow knew what it had been feeling.

"Asta and the others told me… You're just a baby." Prism said, "Is that true?"

The creature had been silent as all she could hear was the steady breathing. "Can-You understand me?" She asked the creature, "Can you give me a sign if you can?"

She could hear a loud thump on the other side as the nest shook slightly.

"Okay-" She said, "-Can you-Show me what you look like? Two thumps mean yes, one thump means no."

It ended up thumping only once as she could hear the sound of a whimper. Prism let out a sigh, "You're scared-Aren't you?"

The creature in the nest whimpered, and she could swear, she saw movement just above her head. "I know just how you feel-" She said, "-I'm scared too." She soon sat against the nest, as her back had been against the branches, "You know you're alive, and yet you know something's different. And that scares you… Doesn't it?"

She could hear the thumps come again, this time it came twice.

"You're not the only one going through that." Prism said, "How do you think I feel having a five-leaf grimoire.? I'm assuming you're the one that gave it to me."

She could feel the breath coming from the nest; it sounded as though it was shaking slightly. She brushed her hand against the branches as she could hear it whimper.

"I guess we're both still afraid of what's happening to each of us." Prism said, "We're used to what we had before we didn't think anything would change in the slightest. The only thing we can do now is work with what we have now."

She could hear the creature whimpers come again., as Prism shifted slightly. It seemed as though the answer to what she needed to do, "Hey-" She soon said as she could hear the creature rustling in the nest, "-I think I have an idea on how I can help you. Do you want to hear me out?"

She heard the creature thump twice.


Most of the group had been anxious as they watched Prism sit perfectly still , doing nothing but breathing in and out. There hadn't been a reaction from the spirits as they sat around her; some on her shoulder and one had been on her head.

"She's been there for over two hours-" Noelle said, "-Shouldn't something have happened by now?"

"I'm… Not sure." Feodora said, before she turned to Karasu, "Is it supposed to take this long? This meditation thing?"

"Don't ask me." Karasu said, "I don't know what goes on in a person's head."

Pluck had said while he had been writing, "This is interesting! There is so much we can learn from this!"

Noelle said with a shudder, "How do you live with yourself?"

"Still your girls got a point-" Acer said, "-Something should've happened right?

Asta's expression soon brightened, "Hey look!"

The group took notice of her right arm as it had started to twitch. Most of them jumped when they saw the silver scales from up to her shoulder started to retreat back into her skin. In a few short moments, they saw her scale arm seemed to have shrunk and familiar scars had returned; even her fifth finger returned.

"Bime i elena.." Pluck said in shock.

"Her arm-" Saorise said.

"It's-Back-!" Brenin said, relieved.

"Oh thank Mana!" Liam said with a smile.

Asta had said with a smile, "Thank goodness."

Prism's eyes soon opened as she soon looked to her hand; clenching it twice she couldn't help but laugh. "Yes-YES!" She cheered as she stood up from the mat, nearly startling Yami; she couldn't help but kiss her own arm as the spirits became alight with bright colors, "MY ARM IS BACK TO NORMAL! BIME I ELENA I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO GLAD TO SEE MY SCAR!"

Sadly the celebration had been cut short when Yami grabbed her head as he said "Oi, Don't count your chickens before they hatch."

"Owowowowowowow! Pain!" Prism exclaimed.

"Prism!" The teens exclaimed before they went to hug her, surprising her, as the force nearly knocked her over.

"I can't believe it! It actually worked!" Saorise said.

"How do you feel? Can you move it okay?" Brenin asked.

"It's like nothing ever happened!" She replied with a smile as she swung her arm like it was nothing.

Pluck had said with a smile, "Thank mana, you're okay!"

"I knew you could do it Pri!" Asta said before he gave her a pat on the head, "I just knew you had it in you!"

Prism only turned red at this, "Th-Thank you Asta."

Noelle only growled at this sort of thing, "Seriously? How Corny can you be?" She shrieked internally, before she thought, "WAIT, WHY AM I CONCERNED ABOUT THAT ANYWAY!?"

"Glad to see your arm is back to normal." Nolan said before he gave her a pat on the head, "It all worked out in the end didn't it?"

"It really did-I'm glad." Prism said.

"I guess this means, it's gonna be a thing now?" Karasu said.

""KEKE-Just in time!" Jack added. "Wouldn't want your training to go to waste if you couldn't train with that arm of yours."

"Ye-Yeah right." Prism said with a sheepish laugh.

"This will be a great addition to our studies!" Samlet said, "And you have my word your highness, we will do everything in our power to find out why this is even happening!"

"Still We're glad you're okay." Ringo said with a smile

Hannah adds, "yep! Though I wish we could study that arm more.."

"Are you sure you're feeling alright?" William asked.

Prism nodded with a smile, "I've never been better!" She soon had a sheepish look, "But uh-I don't know about you but Aurora could go for some of that mana smoothie she loved." Asta, Feodora, Pluck, Noelle, and Karasu looked confused as the captains and the others were a bit taken back.

"Prism-" Brenin said, "-Who are you talking about?"

"By Aurora, do you mean yourself?" Asta asked

Prism looked confused by this sort of thing before it hit her, "Oh no, I don't mean me! I meant her. You know, the baby dragon living inside me?"

At this, the whole group just looked stunned by this sort of thing. "EH!?" The teens exclaimed as it made Prism jump.

Pluck had said, "You talking about the Dragon inside you-that you just named after your middle name?"

"Well, yeah." Prism replied, "I asked her and she thought it was fair since she technically is me in a sense."

"YOU GAVE IT A NAME?!" Feodora shouted.

"YOU ACTUALLY GAVE THAT DRAGON A NAME?!" Karasu shouted.

"She." Prism corrected as they looked shocked, "Not it. She's a she."

""Uhh Pri-are you sure that's a good idea?" Pluck asked.

"Well, I figured if she decides to come out, you can refer to her as Aurora since we're technically the same person." Prism said, "This way there's less confusion."

"I don't think that's what he meant." Saorise said as her ears flopped slightly.

"So-" She said as she turned to Yami, "-Would you mind making that mana smoothie she really loves?" She soon had a sheepish look on her face, "Since I used an incantation three times-She's actually been really hungry. She didn't want to bother me since I was still healing."

"That explains why she took over when you were asleep then." William said.

"And why it-I mean she was hoarding those people." Karasu added.

"Well you heard the girl." Yami said. "Mama, Papa. Feed the baby."

Pluck and Noelle flinched as Prism had an odd look. Feodora on the other hand couldn't help but snicker as did Jack and Acer.

"WE'RE NOT A COUPLE!" Noelle exclaimed.

"AND STOP PAIRING ME WITH THIS STUPID LEWD WOMAN!" Pluck added.

"ME?!" Noelle exclaimed as she turned red. "I-I'M NOT LEWD!"

"Sure you're not." Pluck said as he rolled his eyes.

"Look who's talking, Mr-I read from the adult section." Acer said with a sly smile as Pluck immediately turned red.

"YOU DID WHAT?!" Asta exclaimed.

"IT WAS ONE TIME, UNCLE!" Pluck exclaimed. "I THOUGHT IT WAS A YOGA BOOK!"

Acer gave out a laugh as he said , "Sure you did, little man."

Most of the teens couldn't help but argue amongst themselves as they seemed to have ignored

William soon had a smile, "The young Princess really does have a gift. Rather than fearing something, she found a way to help both herself and this creature despite being a part of her."

"What can I say?" Nolan said. "She's our lil trouble monkey."

Yami said as he took a puff, though he had a smile on his face, "And my squadmate."

"KEKE-I expected my student to be tough!" Jack added.

Nolan noticed the look in Jack's eyes as he said with a smile, "... You're proud too." At that Jack only flinched as he could only grunt in response.
