...Hm? Something unusual is emanating from the mirror that's linked to the Hall of Mirrors. Is it magic? No. No, this is... |
SFX |
|
| MALLEUS! |
|
What's gotten you two in such a panic? |
 |
|
|
Yes, I am quite the same as always. You two, on the other hand, appear to be injured. |
 |
|
|
|
|
Unidentified soldiers clad in black armor came after Riddle. |
|
They attacked the stables, but paid no heed to anyone else. We believe he was their sole target. They called him the "subject" and were attempting to capture him alive. |
|
And what became of Rosehearts? |
|
We were powerless to stop them, and they departed with him before our very eyes... Rgh! |
|
Based on their actions, we feared they were targeting housewardens, so we rushed back as soon as we could. |
 |
Oh, they're not after housewardens. |
| AH! |
|
Do you have an idea who took Rosehearts, Lilia? |
|
Yes. It has to be those who reside on the Island of Woe. |
|
Ah. Of course, now it makes sense. No wonder they didn't come after me. |
|
I hear the island's quite different these days... |
SFX |
|
|
Ah, that's Kalim. |
SFX |
|
| LILIA! I'm so glad you're okay! Jamil and Vil have been kidnapped! There's big trouble at school! Is Malleus there?! |
|
No need to shout, now. Malleus is right here. |
| Oh, I see... So they attacked housewardens and vice housewardens all over campus. I'm gathering everyone together. Both of you, please come to the headmage's office! And hurry! |
SFX |
|
|
I trust you heard that, Malleus? |
|
Yes. Let us be off. |
|
Father, who are these "Island of Woe" people? |
|
Sorry, no time to chat. I'll fill you in later! |
SFX |
|
|
AH! Wait! |
|
And they're gone... |
Headmage's Office
SFX |
|
|
I hope we didn't keep you waiting. |
 |
Malleus! Lilia! You made it! |
| ... |
| ... |
| ... |
| ... |
|
Hmm... It appears I was correct about which students were abducted. |
 |
I was just baking some cookies in the dorm when I got word Riddle had been kidnapped. Then I heard that Ace and Deuce were injured and had to go to the infirmary... It was all so sudden, I can barely wrap my head around it. |
 |
I checked out the stables where Riddle was taken, and it's like a war zone. Even the grass was burned to a crisp. What in the world is going on? |
 |
That's what I wanna know! Leona surrendered unconditionally. Yeah, Leona, of all people. "Ruggie, you're in charge of Savanaclaw 'til I get back. Then again, I can't be sure I'll come back at all... He was dead serious too. He just folded like a cheap suit! |
 |
Azul was taken during a club meeting, as we understand it. |
 |
The Board Game Club guys say he left with 'em peacefully, and Firefly Squid and Lil' Clione went along too. I dunno, though. Azul's the type to go down swingin'. What gives? |
|
[MC]'s group and I were with Vil and Jamil in Ramshackle. |
 |
We tried to fight the intruders with magic, but it had on effect on them. They took Vil and Jamil, and also Grim. |
|
Interesting. So Leona and Azul's group didn't try to fight back. There must be a reason for that. |
|
Leona seemed to know what their deal was... |
|
...Hm. Kingscholar is from an old royal house. It would stand to reason he's heard of them. |
|
What are you talking about? |
