(Night Raven College, Crowley's Office)
"Apologies for the wait", Malleus said as he and Lilia entered Crowley's office.
"Malleus, Lilia, glad you're here", Kalim said, relief in his voice.
"So, the ones who got attacked were exactly who I thought they were", Lilia stated.
"I was just baking cookies at the dorm when I got word that Riddle had been kidnapped", Trey explained, "and with word on what happened with Ace and Deuce, I'm still having trouble processing it all",
"I went to check out the place they said Riddle got abducted at", Cater said, "all I found was a charred and blown-up field, what went down",
"That's what I wanna know", Ruggie explained, "Leona of all people surrendered unconditionally to them... and looked serious when he said, "I leave Savanaclaw to you", and "if he comes back, that is", then just casually left with them",
"It appears Azul was taken during his club activities", Jade said.
"Those board game guys said that Firefly Squad and Lil' Sea Angel went with them without a fight", Floyd stated, "Azul would totally be the type to fight tooth and fin, so why didn't he",
"Jamil and Vil were with us at Ramshackle Dorm, but...", Kalim began.
"We attempted to fight off their attackers with magic", Rook added, "but we were simply no match... they took the two with them along with Grim",
"I see, then both Leona and Azul followed their orders willingly", Jade said, "could there have been a reason",
"Kingscholar is a member of a long royal line, it is not so strange to assume he knew them", Malleus stated.
"Huh, what's that mean", Ruggie asked as Professor Trein entered the room, his cat, Lucius in his arms.
"Allow me to explain that", Trein said.
"Oh my, Trein, where's the Headmage", Lilia asked.
"He was also taken prisoner and taken away with the students by S.T.Y.X.", Trein explained, "until he returns, the school will be under my care",
"What's going on here", Evelyn thought to herself, but continued listening.
"What's that S.T.Y.X. thing", Floyd asked.
"They are a non-governmental organization that doesn't align themselves with any one nation", Trein explained, "they are a magical research institution that has long dedicated themselves to researching blot",
"Blot research", Jade asked, the room almost in stunned silence.
"So that's what this's all about", Floyd muttered.
"Huh, what's it about", Kalim asked.
"Consider the students among the abducted", Jade said.
"Riddle, Leona, Azul, Jamil, Vil...", Cater called out as it finally hit Kalim.
"They've all gone into Overblot", Kalim stated in shock.
"Yeah, wait, so does that mean Vil also Overblotted", Ruggie asked as both Kalim and Rook stayed silent.
"But Riddle and the others should've received the counseling they needed to recover", Trey explained, "so, why now",
"He might have a reason behind all of this", Malleus said.
"Who's he", Kalim asked.
"The warden of the Island of Woe", Evelyn explained.
"I've seen these wardens mentioned in a number of history books", Rook stated, "does this mean you both are acquainted with this islands warden shrouded in an eerie history since antiquity",
