Twisted-Wonderland: Our Precious Treasure (Part 1)

(57) TRotW: Beginning of the Rebellion!

The sun just raised, but some children were still asleep. Ace and Grim were still snoring, while Deuce tossed his bed. Jack's bed was empty but Jonah guessed that he was going to the bedroom. Jonah himself was awake. He covered himself with his blanket over his head. He was staring at the golden orb in his lap. It was glowing just like usual. Jonah pressed his finger on the orb, twisting and turning until it opened and green light filled under his little tent.

The green light surrounded him, changing everywhere into a some-sort of cave. In the corner, he saw the familiar lion with a black mane. Not far from him, a bird with a red bill, looking so miserable, was trapped under the ribs of an animal.

"Hey, Boss!"

The lion growled as he turned toward the mouth of the cave.

"Oh... What is it this time?"

Three hyenas entered the cave, looking grumpy and tired.

"We got a bone to pick with you."

"Scar, there's no food, no water."

"Yeah, it's dinner time, and we ain't got no stinkin' entrees."

The lion rolled his eyes. He rolled his paws and pointed at the bird.

"Oh... eat Zazu."

The bird gasped and pressed his back against the wall, trying his best to disappear from hyenas' hungry eyes.

"Oh, you wouldn't want me. I'd be so tough and- eewwgh!"

One of the hyenas whined.

"I thought things were bad under Mufasa..."

The lion turned back to the hyena, anger flared in his eyes.

"Is that so? GET OUT!"

The hyena ran away, snickering. The light from outside was shining a bit too much that Jonah needed to cover his eyes. When the light dimmed, he found himself back in his small tent. Jonah stared at the orb. What does this mean? The lion just... Not taking his job seriously... What happened to the big speech about becoming king and feeding all those hyenas?

The front door opened and the boy quickly hid the orb under the pillow. "Are you awake?"

Jonah pulled his blanket off this head. He was Jack standing there in his gym uniform. "Where did you go?"

"Morning jog," Jack answered. He looked at the lounge. Cards were still scattered around the beds, along with empty plates. The wolf-boy sighed when he watched the others who were still asleep. "Should we wake them up?"

Jonah chuckled and stood up. "You do that. I'll make some breakfast for us."

The day of the Night Raven College Interdorm Magishift Tournament had finally arrived. The street was filled with many vendors and various clubs showing their specialties. The laughter of children and excited chatter from the young adult filled the air. In between the festivities, a teen ran in between them, before turning around and waved his hand above his head shouting, "Move your tiny legs, slowpokes!"

The teen had curly red hair, fair skin, and blue eyes. He wore a dark teal tunic with golden lining, brown belt with light blue buttons, and a red checkered sarong tied on the side, black pants with lacing at the ankle and brown boots. He also wore a golden crown on her head and a black cape that was clipped around his neck.
