The four sat on the floor in the living room as they examine the wild flower. "Work!" Shree yelled clearly annoyed from all their failed attempts. "I swear to god I'm gonna jump out of the window if we spend another two hours trying to find this stupid glyph" Ashlee whined as she sat down on the floor folding her arms. "Shut up, let me focus." Kimaya responded looking through a magnifier Willow was holding. "Please hurry- it feels like my arm is gonna fall off-" Willow grunted.

"YES!" The four exclaimed, finally able to make plant magic.  "You think that's impressive? Check this out!" King interrupted their celebration showing the four a video of two cat's fighting on Willow's phone. "Two warriors, BATTLING TO THEIR DEATH!" "I see were getting enough service through the portal for cat videos.." Willow responded. "Yes! Attack! Death is your god!" King chanted. "I regret teaching you about the internet.." Kimaya spoke up. "HA! What possible regrets could come from the internet- OH did you know the earth is flat!?" King exclaimed. "Yup that's not right." Ashlee snatched Willow's phone from King's claws, passing the phone back to Willow as a notification set out making Willow panic. "SHIT." Willow cursed as he saw a message. "Hows camp willow? To bad i can't come cuz im sick 😒" a text message popped up which made Willow panic. "👍".
"The fuck?" Kimaya responded to Willow's pathetic response. Soon the three's notifications go off since they finally got service in the Boiling Isles. "CRAP IT'S MY MUM-" Ashlee yelled as she just left her on read. "Respond!" Shree yelled at Ashlee. "WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO SAY? Hey mum! I'm not actually in camp! I'm in a demon realm learning magic and nearly died!..SHE WILL. END. ME." Ashlee dramatically responded as she burrowed her face in a pillow.
"Technically your doing her a favour from keeping this from her, she'll be freaked out by our world either way." King reassured them. "The demon on my shoulder makes a good point-" Willow muttered. "Always trust a shoulder demon!" King added as he snatched Willow's phone back. "Time for schooooooool!" Hooty opened the door and spoke in a singing tone. "Don't spend all day watching youtube kay?" Shree pointed at King. "I FORGE MY OWN PATH!" King yelled as they shut the door.

"Mhm who you trying to ask out Enzo?" Ashlee smirked as he rolled his eyes. Soon an announcement was made. "Dear Hexide, this year, I have bestow our highest grom honour to..Jocelyn park!" Their eyes widened and they all looked at her. She shook her head in disbelief and ran away. "Should we go after her?" Ashlee asked. "Being grom queen is a tough job..even for the most powerful witch almost failed the task." Lorenzo comforted them. "You might want to give her some space.." Amara came and placed a hand on Ashlee's shoulder. They walk over to the hall to find students setting up for the dance. "Very good! Lower the streamers! Fill the punch bowl! And how's my disco ball?" Principal Bump asked the snaggleback. "Nauseous.." He responded. "Good, just keep that up for..thirty six more hours!" Bump added as he walked out of the hall before the four entered. "Can you believe we have a first school dance experience in the Boiling Isles?" Shree beamed. Ashlee saw a button and smirked at Willow. "ASHLEE.." Willow warned, before sprinting after her before she manages to press the red button. "SHIT!" Willow missed as Ashlee clicked the button, summoning a wall with weapons and a pit. "Mediaeval torture is a weird theme for grom but-" Willow examined before Lorenzo interrupted him. "This isn't for decoration..the arena is where Jocelyn will make her debut as grom queen." "Why aren't you excited?" Shree asked before Lorenzo pointed to the arena that opened in the floor. "Because this isn't just some dance party..that's grom, short for Grometheus the Fear Bringer..it's a monster that lives under the school.." Lorenzo spun his finger.
"Every year it tries to break free, and a student has to defeat it before it invades the town..ever the optimist Bump holds a party and calls it tradition." He explained as their eyes widened "The worse thing is that Grom can read minds..and shapeshift into your worst fear..and mine.." Lorenzo cut himself off and looks at Shree with sad eyes. "Is VERY embarrassing..so that's why I didn't really want to volunteer to switch.." "GET OUT BEFORE I'M GONNA PUKE!" The snaggleback warned as the six ran out in worry.
