Riddle was then suddenly covered in dark matter, while the wind around you became harsher. Causing you to squint your eyes to try and see anything around you. Trey had also taken a few steps back because of the dark matter that surrounded Riddle now.

And once it had finally dissipated, the atmosphere of the rose maze changed completely.

Riddle had also changed like in your dream. He floated mid air wearing a red and black tattered dress that was similar to the Queen of Hearts. The sleeves being torn revealing his arms that were covered in black blots, along with his hands and it was as though they were gloves. His golden crown had also become  black and extremely sharp. While His eyes had become a dark red with one of them bursting into a red flame. His skin was unnaturally pale, as though the life was sucked out of him.

He began laughing hysterically. His voice had been so strange, however. You swore you could slightly here the Queen of Hearts voice under his, yet it was a little deeper.

"Those foolish enough to disobey me. I have no need of them in my world. I am the law in my world. I AM THE Rules!"

A huge figure had then emerged behind him. And to your horror it was the same large shadow you had seen in your dream.

"W-What the hell is that thing?!" Cater exclaimed, terrified.

"The Queen.. of Hearts?" You slowly stated.

"What?" Deuce turned towards you.

"Did you just say THAT is the Queen of Hearts?!" Ace yelled, staring at you before he turned his attention back towards the looming figure behind Riddle.

The monster's black and red gown was poorly sewn together and the bottom part of it's skirt was in tatters much like Riddle's. There were spade spikes sprouting Frome behind it, while it's head was the familiar cracked heart shaped glass with a gold crown. It was filled with black blot with some spilling from the crack. And it held a rose tree as a weapon.

"No other response then yes, Lord Riddle is acceptable!! It's off with the heads of anyone who dares to disobey me!!" Riddle threatened and began laughing hysterically once again.

"Ah, look at this mess," Crowley commented, feeling miserable. "A student in front of me has gone into overblot!"

"What the hell is overblot?!" Grim asked. "That guy's got a wicked air to him now!"

"Overblot is a state that wizards should avoid at all cost," The Headmaster hurriedly explained. "He's being caught up in a storm of negative energy  that has made him lose control of his emotions and magic."

"I don't really get it," Grim announced.

"Me too." Deuce chimed in.

"Ah, darn it! In other words, he's fallen into a dark berserk state!" Cater frustratingly explained.

"It may cost his life if he keeps using magic like this.."

Grim's eyes widened as Trey said that, "His life?!" He then quickly hopped out of your arms.

"Anyways, the top priority right now is the safety of the students. I must evacuate the other residents." Crowley directed. "Rosehearts must be brought back to his senses before he runs out of magic."

"Losing his life would be terrible, but worse than that..." He shook his head.

"Now I need you all to head over to the other dorm heads and teachers to assist-" he was then interrupted when Ace made a loud cry.

"TAKE THIS!!" He casted his wind magic towards Riddle, shocking the rest of you.

"Huh?!"

"Come fourth, cauldron!" Deuce joined in, calling for his trusty friend.
