Youngblood
Dean Kathin walks down a dark hallway. The walls have stained glass made from the blood of fallen enemies. The ceilings have arches made from limestone, and there is a breeze of lemon grass around. Dean Kathin knocks on a door, and it opens. He looks around and sees serval holograms of the significant events of Planet Heart's history. He stumbles upon a hologram of the young Fairy Soldiers after they defeated Team Galatic. "Spoil brats," Dean Kathn said. He walks up to a crystal ball and touches it. "Tell me!" The crystal ball glows, and he smiles. "Good. Hopefully, these heirs and Knights stay out of my way!"
Mariam reads her new spell packet and sighs. "How the fuck are we going to learn this in a few weeks and train for the tournament?" Daah walks by and looks inside the dull fountain. "The color is much better now." "I need to see if my sister is Kaante's host." As she follows her sister, Hiroki, Devon, and Silver arrive. "What are you doing?" Devon asks. "Um... My sister was close to Sangharsh. Maybe she can offer some insight about this." Silver gulps and speaks. "You have told us that she cared for him. If we bring him up, your sister will shut down." "I agree. It is better to watch from afar," Devon said. Mariam expresses a sigh of relief. "Good. I had the same plan." Hiroki looks skeptical but agrees. The group follows Daah to the Magical Attires building, where she is practicing meditation. Daah closes her eyes and kneels. Her hair glows as her wings shake. Kaante takes over, and Daah's hair turns red. She lets out a chant, which knocks out the younger fairies. Hiroki's soldier watch glows and shocks him. "Huh?" He looks around and sees both Daah and Mariam gone. "Where did they go?" Hiroki goes to find out. Daah enters the potion room as Mariam follows.
Cressila sits in the quad and reviews the lists of dorms she can live in next year. "So many choices." Cressila looks at her book and sighs. "I can't believe that I was screwed over. I knew that he was involved, but the others? No way." Cressila notices Ash yelling at something. "Leave me alone," Ash screams. "I want to play, Sangharsh teases. "Ash?" Cressila asks. Ash turns around. "Sorry. I was daydreaming." "I see. I still have vague memories about Kaante's attack as well." Ash gulps and nods. Cressila removes her sword and cleans it as she continues chatting with Ash. "Did Headmaster Chidh speak to you?" "Yeah. Keep your Knights in line, and I'll make sure you all have a senior year," Ash says mockingly. "What a pain in the ass!" "I agree," Cressila says. "Sometimes, I feel like they want to save their skins first." "I think so. This is why we need to know Kaante's host soon before the Knight's Tournament." Cressila nods. She puts the cleaning supplies away and sees a yellow bottle on the ground. Cressila picks it up and screams. "Cressila?" Ash calls out. "I have to leave. I'll see you at training," Cressila said in a huff. Ash looks on in confusion as Cressila leaves. She enters one of the magical rooms and sprinkles her magic on the yellow bottle. "I knew it," she said. At the same time, Ash calls Brock."Brock, I think Cressila went to Tower 2 in the Magical Attire building." "Why?" Brock asks. "I don't know. She found a yellow bottle near the cleaning supplies and-" "I know. I'll be right there," Brock said as he left to find Cressila.
Dean Kathin carries the crystal ball in his laptop bag. He walks around and listens to the conversations of students. He comes across Allison, Odd, and Jeremy talking about Kaante's host. "What are we going to do? The fountain water is getting duller, and the plants are being poisoned," Odd said. "I know. We have to keep our guard up but also enjoy our senior year," Allison said. "Not if Kaante strikes again. She attacks us on school trips, Dawalli, and Daah's party. It is safe to say that she will strike again," Jeremy said. "We do. However, think of it as a time of war. We must live our lives while dealing with it," Allison said. Dean Kathin made his presence known. "Good morning, Alicinda, Jeremiah, and Omar." "Good morning, sir," the trio said. "Are you excited for the senior day of service?" Dean Kathin asks. "Yes. Replanting trees and cleaning up animal feces," Odd said. "Yes. So much feces," Dean Kathin said. "Is there anything you need, sir?" Jeremy asks. "No. I am checking in on my students. This time of year, students tend to get senioritis this time of year." "We don't. Maybe after AP exams," Allison teases. "I can't wait. Seniors have access to the pool after sunset after exams. Use it well," Dean Kathin said as he walked away. "That was weird," Odd said as he turned around to see Dean Kathin in his face. "One more thing!" Dean Kathin walks up to Jeremy. "If I see any of you heirs interfere with my work. You'll suffer." Then he walks up to Allison. "Also, I have ways of using my job. Both jobs! Watch it!" Dean Kathin laughs. "The class president, valedictorian, and math national scholar are all on my hit list!" Once he leaves, Jeremy says, "I want his head on a silver platter!" "Let's prepare for a possible attack at the Knight's Tournament as planned," Allison said. "And remember," Odd said. "We cannot tell the Knights we think it's Daah," Odd said.
Daah walks around the potion room and looks for lavender oil. "Where is it? She needs it. It has to be here somewhere." Mariam follows her sister. "What is she doing here?" She hides as Daah looks through a spell book and gasps. "I found it. However, it has to be done where four moons are visible." Daah looks through her phone. "That day!" "What day?" Mariam asks herself. She steps back to leave but bumps into a bottle, and it falls. "Who's there?" Daah asks. Mariam freezes. Kaante speaks to Daah. "Someone is there. Stop them!" Daah takes out her wand and says a chant. Mariam notices the liquid in bottles bubbling. She steps back and trips on a bottle of apples and chocolates. "I know you're there!" Daah shouts. Mariam runs as Daah chases her (without knowing who she is pursuing.) Mariam comes to a corner and starts to sweat. "What if I am right? Daah is connected to Kaante." Daah approaches the person she is chasing when Dewott uses Razor Shell on some Rose Water, which splashes into her eyes. "Fucking shit!" At the same time, Hiroki grabs Mariam. "We need to leave now!" Mariam runs with Hiroki back to the room where Devon and Silver wake up. "What the fuck happened?" Devon asks. "Something with Daah," Silver said. Mariam smells her clothes. "I hope these aphrodisiacs do not cause any trouble." Moments later, Hiroki comes back with two towels for himself and Mariam. Mariam and Silver noticed that Hiroki looked different when he was dripping wet. "Maybe it was the potions," Mariam said. "Okay, what the fuck, Mariam? Why did you go off alone," Hiroki asks. "My sister. I know that she still hung up on Sangharsh. I wanna know why and if she is connected to Kaante," Mariam defends. "I want to know why Daah fell for Sangharsh. My brother told me he was a jerk," Devon said. Silver sighs. "They fucked before we came to this school," Silver announced. Everyone looks at Silver. "My sister is a virgin," Mariam said. "No, she is not! I heard them! They fucked, and my brother screwed her over," Silver said.
Dean Kathin checks the crystal ball and sighs. "Nothing. I am getting nothing from them. I can't believe it. They are planning something. They cannot outdo me!"
Brock arrives at Tower 1 and sees Cressila crying. "Babe! What's wrong?" "The yellow bottle. It is the one," Cressila says as she sobs. "The one what?" "The one that Dean Kathin and Savi Gurujee used to sabotage me so Sangharsh could advance!" Brock gasps and holds a sobbing Cressila.
Ash sits in the quad and sighs. "I hope Cressila is okay." Sangharsh bites his lip. "He doesn't need to know." Allison walks by and kisses Ash. "Hey," Allison says. "Hey," Ash said. "Is everything okay?" "No. Cressila saw something near the cleaning supplies, and it triggered her." "Do we need to find her?" "Brock is on it." "Okay, we are trying to find another way to see who Kaante's host is. We think it is maybe a Knight." "I remember you told me that. We are preparing for a possible attack during the Knight's Tournament." "Really? We were thinking the same thing." "I know." "You know?" "Yes. Allison," Ash says as he takes her hands. "All of the Knights think Daah is the host and we know the Fairy Soldiers think the same." Allison is shell-shocked. "We didn't want to say anything until-" "I know. We think it's her and we have a plan." Allison's eyes widen as she sees the seriousness in Ash's eyes. Sangharsh looks worried as well.
