Before we start, Luna is kind of 'connected' to the Collector now
But Luna can only here whispers, but only if she touches something OF the Collector, like another orb of his
while King can hear him fully and all the time, though more clearly when he's asleep
This is due to Luna only touching the plate not actually setting it on fire, Like King
Also, warning once again; breakdown and panic attack
Also!!!
Happy happy birthday, happy birthday to me!
It is my birthday today, I demand you give me treats!!!
No ones pov:
King wakes up slowly and looks around, cubs and black water around him
King suddenly hears laughter It seemed to be coming from the Collector
"Almost free, almost free!"The Collector, in an orb, yells
"Luz? Hooty? Luna- Woah, woah! Is- is someone there!?" King asks
"I won't be alone, I won't be alone anymore!" The Collector yells and cackles
"Hello, hello!?" King asks
"Who said that? Who's there!?" The Collector akss
"What?-" King says as he starts to wake up
"Wait! Wait, wait, wait! Don't leave! Come bac-" The Collector yells
King gasps jerking awake, panting and Luna rubs his back
"Hey, sleepy head, We're back in Bonesborough" Luz says
King runs to the edge of the boat and looks at the bones of the Titan fearfully
Luna walks over beside him also looking at bones, then at King trying to say something
She just closes her mouth and looks back at the bones instead, not knowing WHAT to say
*time skip*
Luz leaves the boat, waving at Salty; Luna also waving bye holding King
Him sitting in her arm, legs towards her chest, his paws clutching her shirt, and his head laying on her chest, still looking at the head if the titan
Luz, meanwhile, takes out her tomogotchi seeing a lot if texts from Amity; Hooty looking over her shoulder
"Hmmm, 'Mom took Pensta, but we're safe, We'll contact' Aww, she sent so many hearts! Hope she's doing okay" Luz says
Luna and King coach up to her, the former humming
"Is that Amity?" King asks and turns his hea down Luz
"It's okay if you wanna check on her, I can get to the Owl House on my own" he states
Luna doesn't miss the way he starts to clinch her shirt tighter
Luz swallows looking away, rembering yesterday
"I think they might be my family! Maybe they're an answer to all our problems!" King states
"If you think Belos is evil, you've never seen a live Titan!" Bill yelsl
"King, you're not one of them" Luz says
"Then what am I!?" King demands
"If I knew that we were here for your...FAMILy, I would've told you sooner but..." Luna says and trails off
"You're a TITAN, King....specifically the grandson of the Boiling Isles one" Luna states and King's eyes widen
"We should...get home first" Luna says
"Hey, look! Everyone missed us so much they put up pretty signs!" Hooty says
Everyone turns to 5 posters; one of Hooty drawn very terrifying, one of Harpy Eda, one of Luz casting a light glyph with King, one of Lilith holding fire, and the last is Luna with claws covered in blood
Two witches looking at the posters growl
Luz pulls her hoddie over her head, "Let's....take the long way home"
Luna looks at her poster in particular, noticing a dead or alive under the reward, which was bigger then the others
She shivers before running after Luz, gripping her brother just a little tighter
*time skip*
Luna, King, Luz, and Hooty walk towards the Owl house
The demon is now walking beside them, Lunas tail lingering beside him
They all freeze at the sound of scouts and Luz activates an invisibility glyph
:Without that bird-tube, this place was wide open!" A scout states
"I still haven't recovered from that tea party incident" the other scout says, shivering and drinking apple blood
They gasp once they're gone, Luna looks at the oath and puses before running
"No, no, no, no, no" Luna whispers to herself while running
The others follow her to the Owl House; the hybrid starting at the now torn up house
They go inside, seeing to deserted and torn up, Lilith and Eda aren't on there either
"Do- do you think they were ARRESTED!?" King asks panicked
Luna looks around the house, her breathing starting to become shallow and quick
She finches as King grabs her leg, looking down at the dmeon with fear
"I...don't know" Luna says, voice shaking
Luz, meanwhile, finds a piece of paper on the ground and activates a light glyph
"They weren't arrested- they're hiding out on the knee!" Luz states
Luna swallows looking at the note, clenching her hoodie
Edas pov:
"Using my old keys, we'll travel through the service tunnels!" Lilly proposes, pacing around the room
"Then, From there, we initiate the security system and everyone INCLUDING Belos will be trapped inside the castle!" She states
:and Boom! Day of Unity stopped!" She yells
"1. The Portland is INSIDE the castle,, they can can it either way, and 2. You don't think they CHANGED the locks after you got booted from the Coven!?" I ask
"Well, at least I'M COMING UP with ideas!" Lilly states
"Hey! I come up with some great ideas!" I state and put the bag of Hex Mix over my head
"putting snores glue in the Emperor's shampoo bottle isn't going to save anyone's life!" Lilly growls kicing a bag
"This is JUST LIKE YOU! You NEVER take things seriously!" Lilly growls and I take off the bag
:at least the kids are far away from here..." lilly says and I look away
Suddenly there's a snap and I gasp, standing up
"Someone's tripped the booby trap" I state and we run to the entrance
I feeeze, seeing the kids and Hooty
"Hey, Lulu!" Hooty syas
"Hiiiiii" Luz draws out
"Hello, mother" Luna says unamused, fur puffed out
King meanwhile paws at the ropes, before Luna shifts to pit him on her lap
"Far away you said?" I ask and lilly looks away
I look at them and rub my forehead, "You kids, are gonna kill me"
*time skip*
I put a sock and scarf on King, before taking a blanket and putting it on Luz as she speaks
Luna summoning her own blanket and covering herself in it
"It took awhile to figure out which town you're in from your map- we had to keep off the streets with all those wanted posters" Luz explains
"but that's when we saw your Hex Mix trail, we followed it and well- you know the rest!" She states
Luna bounces her leg, looking at the pit, she purse sand looks at the blanket
"Glad I grabbed this" she says, chuckling
"What map are you talking about?" I ask before anyone can reply to her
"The one you left us, obviously" Luz says, rolling ehr eyes and showing a peice of paper
"Oh! Yes, the one we left them!" I state and look at lilly, who avoids eye contact
"Well, someone had to bury our bones!" She defends, making Luna snort
"Lulu!! I got your a shirt!" Hooty yells and gags up an orange shirt
"I was sacrificed to the Grand Huntsman?..." Lilith reads
"What the in the hell is this!?" I start
"So, turns out King's letter was sent by a bunch of TITAN TRAPPERS" Luz explains
"And they may have tried to sacrifice King and Luna to the Collector, who they worship" Luz says
"I would've killed them but we had to dip" Luna growls, tail curling beside her
I nod and glare at Lilith, "ah, so you found of a commune of bloodthirsty fanatics in a place that was supposed to be empty!"
"Well, they couldn't have been THAT scary without any Titans to trap!"Lilith defends
I look at her and pause, "does Luan apparently being able to talk to two co8nt?"
"Actually-" Luz starts, before Luna elbows her
They share a glance and Luz Looks down at King
He looks at her and nods
"King... IS a Titan" Luz says, "and Luna, apparently looks like one"
Luna looks away, "specifically the grandson of the ones.....in my head...."
"Looks like I'm...due for a growth spurt soon...heheheh" King says with a thumbs up
I freeze, everything clicking together, while Lilith gasps
Lunas pov:
"Wait- hold on, what did you say, Luna?" Lilith asks, after the shock
"That...he's the grandson if the titans in my head?" Luna says
"You...can speak to the Titan but I thiught-" Lilith starts
"Belos is lying, he can speak to the Collector not the Titan" Eda cuts in
"I thought we told you this" she states
"Well- that part you did but I didn't know LUNA could speak to the ACTUAL titan" Lilith says, "how do you know"
"Well, Belos said it, and so did the Collector...I also have titans blood in my body so...yeah" Luna stated
And Lilith zoned out and they all looked at her
"... well shit, looks like we broke lilly" Eda said
while Luna looks at the ground smiling panicked
like that Lisa meme?..I love this meme
*time skip*
King wraps a scarf around a snow bunny, then looks at the titan head; hooty hugging him
"...didn't think he'd be this...sad" Titan says
"I- he just found out, his ENTIRE FAMILY IS DEAD" I stress to them
"...that is true, but at eats now he knows" titan says
"Your quiet Crescent" I say
"....he's so tiny...and yet, like all of us, the Archivests are going to get him" Crescent states
"What? What Archivests??"
"...dont worry about it....he'll be fine...just keep try not to let anything too...poeerful near him" Crescent says
"Titan?" I ask
"...shes right, keep him safe...he's very small and the Collectors took us out, we were far bigger" Titan says
I swallow, "bold of you to assume i wouldnt!....but...okay..."
"I can't believe that little guy is gonna turn into that big guy...." Eda says, snapping me out of my thoughts
"Certainly explains his strange new powers...He's just dealing with so MUCH":luz says
"I wish there was a way we could give him some comfort...." she says
"...I- I wish I could've EASED him into it, I don't know how I would've but- I wish I didn't have to spring it on him like that..." I state and look down
Eda places a hand on my shoulder, and I look up
"I can't believe this! All this time you've had a Titan under your roof!" Lilith yells, making me jump
She gasps, "and another rapidly who can TALK to two of them!"
She pauses then gross again, "I've eaten ice cream with a GOD and a PROPHET!"
"I'm not really a prophet.....I just...ate titans blood...and mud, when I was little and suddenly I have voices in my head..." I explain
Eda looks at me, "Listen I was a very dumb 6 year old okay-"
"Just because he has tall genes doesn't mean he's a god" Luz says
"Actually, since titans GAVE us magic... they are technically a god or- uh- more powerful being" I explain
"....are overly religious people in the Boiling Isles too!?" Luz asks and I look at her
"What?" I ask
"Does that mean there are people who worship the titan to much and make their entire life about it!?" She asks
"Luz I don't kneo- does this have to do with that 'bible' thing you told me about? Cause no, we don't have that...I already told you that!" I state
"Do people pray to the titan!?" Luz akss, shaking my shoulders
"I don't know- maybe!? We all just kinda acknowledge that he gave us magic and move on with our day-" I stated
"Do you have CHURCHES!?" Luz asks, "Kuna I need to know!"
I sigh and steady her, hand on her shoulders
"Uh- no? And we don't have a 'bible' and people don't go door to door saying how you should pray to the titan....we just kinda....acknowledge that he gave us magic and so we hold him as a higher being, then move on with out day, simple" I explain
Luz pov:
"Okay- okay, just curious"i say
"Well you where freaking out, you sure your good?" Luna asks
"Yeah, just...some people on earth are super religious and...those people are the ones who are usually homophobic" I explain
"...still don't understand why some humans are like that" Luna says, hands falling to her sides
We look at the two adults talking
"And he falls into the toilet like once a day" Eda says
"Perhaps he's still too young, He's powers haven't... awakened yet!" Lilith says
"And maybe Luna has some unawakened powers to!" Lilith says
"But who knows how he can help us against Belos!!" She states
"WHAT!?" Luna demands
Eda turns to us, "Don't worry kids, we're not putting him in ANY danger" she says and turns to lilith
"He's a Clawthorne and technically your titan damn NEPHEW and NEICE, remember dear sister?" She says, strained at the end
"Right, of course" Lilith says and turns to the room inside
"I'm a god's and a prophets aunt! But is are they gentle or angry types?" Lilith asks, before going deeper into the cave
"So? Fill me in! How are we gonna defeat Belos and his draining spell!?" I ask
"Uh- right, Well... it's a secret!" Eda says and I look at her
"Just for now, I'll fill you in closer to go time!" Eda says
"Ah- so if I'm captured I can't give anything away! Smart, thinkin', Owl Lady!" I state
"Do..you even have a plan?" Luna asks
" 'course she does!" I state, and Luna hums
Eda and Luna share a glance, the latter sighing
"Okay, im"ma go see King" Luna says. Walking over to the Titan
"There! All done! Nice to meet you, uh- Fransnow...wha?" He says, before the air of the snow bunny falls off
"Aw, King- let me help with that" I say and run over
Luna giggles, "I can do it Luz, you don't have to"
"Naw, besides I git an ice glyph ready fir use!"I explain taking i it the paper
Luna snorts and I put it to the snow bunny's side, making an ice arm
"Ta-da!" I exclaim
King smiles his tail wagging, while Luna chuckles
Edas pov:
"What are you doing!? Tell them!" Lilith urges
"Tell them WHAT exactly!? That we have no plan!?" I ask
"Or, That Belos is gonna win!? That the Boiling Isles are doomed!" Iadult Alright? and sigh, lilly looking away
"The kids deserve ONE nice day before they realize how...DIRE things are" I state and look over to them
"I- they've already been through way to much...and their just CHILDREN..." I say and watch as Luz uses an ice glyph
"And King and Luna deserves our praise!" Lilith yells and I glare at her
I sigh nd walk over to the 2 teens, 8 year old,, and....childish adult?
"How old IS hooty?" I think walking over and shake my head, stopping
"Alright, kids! The uh- plan isn't gonna be ready till tomorrow" I lie
"...but if you could do ANYTHING in the world today, what would it be?"I ask
"Get my kitchen and home back" Luna states, "...aka, cook"
"....I- I just want things to be normal right now" King says, Luna patting his back
"Well, I wanna go on a heist!" Luz yells
I snort, "Of course you do"
"....does this mena were breaking into something?" Luna akss
"Luna...what does a heist MEAN?' I ask
"...can I set stuff on fire?" Luna asks
I smirk, "course you can kid, plus you need a distraction"
Lunas tail wags, before she looks at King, who looks at her
"Ill...I'll be okay" King reassures, :I just wanna think right now"
"...okay" Luna said, before she perks up, summoning her blanket, throwing beside King
"You'll need this more then me right now" Luna says and King sits on it, gripping the fabric
Lunas parents did die from a fire, but people don't get trauma from everything
Luna was also only 6 so she doesn't remember enough to be traumatized by the event
She does rememher enough to be traumatized that Belos CAUSED the events, but not about the event itself
*time skip*
King's pov:
my sisters, one a future sister in law?, and Eda leave
And I stare at the head of the titan...my grandfather, the blanket under me
"...maybe I should've asked Luna to tell me what he's Thinking?...." i think, looking at the skull
"I guess two titans instead of one would make sense...theirs two sets of horns and a lot of ribs..." I state and hum
I jump, hearing glass behind me, and turn to see Lilith
"King of...um, Titans, would you...like some tea?" She asks
"Uh, no thanks, uh- I- I'm good..." I state, " 'sides, I doubt we have the good ingredients for tea...."
"Of course! Titans don't care for such lowly pleasures" She says and throws the tea cup away
"...well...that kinda hurt" I think and n look away
"Perhaps I could offer you dark deeds carried out in your name!?" Lilith exclaims and pulls out a sword and I fall back
"Ah- what the fuck- uh- no- NO!"I stress and she sits my Hooty
"I-Listen, it's okay-I just uh-need some..... alone time....Your Titan...commands it?" I state hesitantly
Lilith bows, her hair covering her head, and kicks Hooty who bows as well
Then She grabs Hooty and walks away, her hair still in her face
I swallow and look down the Hill, and then at the blanket
I grab a rocking, dropping it on theulticolloerd fabric
"That should...hold it down" I state and walk down the hill
Lunas pov:
Luz and Eda ride of Owlbert, while I ride of Sunny
"I saw scouts taking boxes from the house, They're probably holding everything at the Bonesborough Precinct, Francois included!" Luz says
"....I'm stealing all the kitchen supplies, just so you know" I state
"Are you sure you wanna do this for a stuffed toy? Wouldn't you rather, oh I don't know, have a beach day?" Eda asks
"Maybe if we had time for 20 more adventures! but we don't!" Luz states
"Yep, if only we had another month, instead of only a few days, like Belos said last time about day of the unity" I state
"Wait what?" Luz asks
'Well, before you came Belos said something about like, half a year before the Day of unity..." I say, "But, now it's been cut in half, I guess he can't wait any longer"
"Oh....okay, well this is alsl for King! He needs his buddy" Luz states
Luz and Eda land in between two buildings and watch mysterious cloaked people walk while holding candles
"Ugh, I hate double-shifts. Can't wait for the day after the Day of Unity. Know what I mean?" A couple asks
"Yeah, but I'm racking up OT like crazy!" The other one states
Luz Gasps and points at a wagon, "There look! Francois! Let's pounce!"
I grab her before she runs to it
"Call down pup" I state, "can't get us caught to soon"
"Yeah, If we're gonna do this we gotta do it right- Belos isn't taking ANY more chances with us after your little trip into his mind" Eda says
"Especially if he really is looking for Luna" She states
My grip on Luz shoulders tighten, and she pats my hand; and I let go
"If we wanna stay ALIVE we have to be inconspicuous" eda says, grabbing out shoulders
"...and uh-what if we DON'T?" I ask and Eda looks at me
"....fair enough, disguises?" I ask
"...we are talking about that later" Eda states, "I'd like it if you LIVED"
"Yep, okay" I say and looks away
*time skip*
We slam open the door
"Take me to my- I mean the Owl Lady's confiscated junk!" Eda yells in her disguise
"Nice save" Luz says
King's pov:
"Lose your way, little guy?" Someone asks and I turn to them
It's Steve, on a Motorcycle
"Uh- actually I got where I was going but now I-"I shrug and then pause, looking at him
"Weh!? Hey, I know you! You're Steve from Lilith's party! Shouldn't you be like kissing the Emperor's ass right now?" I ask, walking to him
Steve shrugs, "Probably, Heck, growing up, all I wanted was to be an Emperor's Coven Scout!"
"to be considered one of the best!...I got what I wanted, but...it's not what I thought it was" Steve explains
I look away,, "I....I hear that"
"I mean- Belos is supposed to know everything, but why should he know what the Titan wants!? Maybe the Titan doesn't even know what he wants!" Steve states
"I don't know, Maybe the titans just some normal guy, you know?" He asks and Sighs
"Yeah....I think he's just a normal guy to.. ." I say and look at the engraving in my collar
"Well, you going somewhere? cause I've got a sidecar and nothing but time!" Steve states, and takes out a helmet
I look at the side cart, and smile my tail wagging as I hop in
He puts the helmet on me, my horns cracking it
"I point, you drive?" I ask
"Yep, let's go!" Steve says and starts up the motorcycle
Liliths pov:
Hooty eats seem fire Bees and I look at the ground
"Did I...insult him by groveling too much? Did I scare off Luna? Did I not grovel ENOUGH?" I ask
"he probably wants to be treated like, I don't know, normal? Luna to but you seem more focused on King" Hooty says
"Well- King is an actual GOD the one who gave us MAGIC! Luna is a prophet but not an actual god" I explain
"What does it matter!?" I ask
"King is a Titan, for Titan's sake! Of course he want to be treated like royal-" I freeze and Gasp
"Oh, Titan, I just took his name in vai- Ah! I did it again!" I yell
Hooty looks outside
"Uh- Lulu, I think we have a bigger problem." He says and I follow his gaze
Seeing a snow bunny, a rock on a multicolored blanket, but no King
"....shit" I say simple
No ones pov:
The scouts look at the three, two gaurds and one lion-beast demon, with horns by the smaller gaurd
The pause, then immediately go back to filing and delivering papers
"Huh, I would've appreciated SOME kinda reaction, These were hard to get!" Luz says and grabs the cape, holding it out
The beats demon, aka Luna, rubs against her leg purring
"Hey, you, fellow guard!" Eda yells and walks over to said gaurd
"We just found a load of illegal Hexes Hold'em cards- Can we get the key to the, uh- warehouse?" Eda asks
Luna almost face palms at the excuse
"Atleast say illegal weapon-" she starts to think
She freezes in confusion as the hand-card gets passed over
The three get into the elevator and it goes down
"Why is everything going our way NOW!?" Eda asks
"Maybe our luck's finally turning?" Luz proposes
Luna transforms back down looking at the two
"I- I can't believe that excuse WORKED... I guess their really stressed" She states
"Or I'm just the best at coming up with plans" eda says cockily
Luna chuckles, "sure you are mom"
The elevator dings as the three reach the warehouse
And they all look out
"Holy shit-" Eda says, looking at all the boxes and crates
"Titan- I...actually expected more" Luna says, stepping beside Luzs left
"We're gonna need to split up, if we wanna find Francois...." Eda says and pauses and looks at the two teens
She hands Owlbert to Luz as she takes off her mask, along with Eda
"If things get hairy, you two fly outta here as FAST as you can" Eda states and Luz pouts at her
"HEY! don't give me that face, Just say 'okay' okay?" Eda asks
Luz nods slowly, "Okay...."
"Oh, and if you find a box labeled "Eda's longest toenails" and a box called "mushroom spors" grab them too!" Eda says
Luz chuckles, "Ew" She states and walks away
Luna sees an open box across from the group and walks towards it
"We secured the Owl Lady's house" a gaurd says, catching Edas attention
She lokks at Luna who's found her amber dagger, which she stole from Tibbles
Eda smiles softly at her kid, before turning to he voice
"That'll keep her distracted for a few minutes" eda thinks and goes over to the voice
"That's correct, Head Witch" the gaurd says
"No, there was no sign of her" The gaurd replies
"Just...keep looking until you find her, And only come to ME when you do" Raine says
"...Raine?" Eda asks
Below in the boxes, Luz finds the 'toe nail' box, and continues to look for the other things
Meanwhile, Luna, looks up from the amber dagger; and spots a few pictures
5 about, one of grom, two of adoption day; one with just King Kuna and eda then one with Luz; one a strip of photos taken with Willow, gus, and Luz, and the last was of the three girlfriends together
Luna grabbed all 5 of them, and the dagger; looking through the same box
She finds a grudby jacket with a L on it, black fur on it, and a rip with a crown sewn on it on a pocket
She smiles softly, picking it up
Meanwhile, Kinga sn Steve drive all over the Boiling Isles
First to a rib cage of the titan, where King hesitantly hugs it
Then as they drive away, hooty and Lilith helicopter down
Then the go to the Boiling sea, King putting his paw in before ripping it out.. to find no burns
His tail wags and he jumps into he sea, running from the water to the shore, and then back again
Steve throws rack as King does this, then stops, looking behind him
He sees two old Lady's, both demons
He tears up and starts to sob, King coming over and comforting him
They drive past Lilith and hooty, the latter sniffing The air
He gasps and piitns in a random direction;Lilith rights him pointing to the tracks
Then King and Steve help two demons, a father and his child, with their cart
The family leaves and the dad waves at King and Steve
The child quickly follows and grins as well, as they both drive away
Next they walk around, finding a outlet and King lays in it, the same way his grandfather is
And Steve lays a paper figure on his nose, holding up a ripped book
Edas pov:
"Head Witch, I'll do all I can to find the Owl Lady!" The Captain reassures, "You have my word..."
CYour word doesn't count for much without RESULTS" Raine growls, then sighs, "ju- just go"
I sneak in and take a deep breath, becoming visible again
I touch the crystal ball and Raine shows up again, rubbing between their eyes
"Captain, I thought I told you to-" they gaps, "Eda!?"
"Please, just give me ONE minute- I'm... I'm not trying to start trouble" I state
Raine sighs and narrow steer eyes, "i- You're wearing a STOLEN uniform!"
"And I am working it!" I brag and flip my hair
"...Listen, I don't know what you're hiding, but I do know that somewhere deep inside..." I pause and chuckle and they look away
"...you still care about me....Otherwise, you wouldn't have let me walk free back at the Coven Parade!" I state
"I- Raine, I know about the Day of Unity and the Draining Spell...." I explain
They look away, before covering their face
"No- Nope! I... I saw that expression!....It is that bad, isn't it?" I ASK
"And that's why..."I scoff, "...I need your help...."
"There's no time for your schemes, Eda" Raine growls
"Wait- PLEASE beg and the look at me, "This..isfor my kids...."
"I- th- They CAN'T be around during the Day of Unity!" I insist
"Put them in a castle bunker, get them on an airship- I don't care, just... Just keep them safe, PLEASE?" I beg, then sigh
"Raine....If you do I'll... I'll give myself up right NOW" I state, foot steps behind me
"It's probably just the stairs settling" I think and start to speak again
"PLEASE Riane...one of them...is Belos's Neice...like the golden gaurd....Raine... Belos is HUNTING her down..."
Their eyes widen, "I- what?"
"And- I don't doubt that he's also gonna hunt down the other two...until at least one of them....is DEAD" I say, cutting them off
"I- its a long story but...Belos has enough titans blood to DO the day if unity...but also what MORE so he can make it more powerful" I explain
Raine puts their hand over their mouth, and look away
"I- two of them...a demon and a hybrid- I doubt you remember the picture, but...they....they have titans blood in their vains Raine...." I explain
"Tiat- I-"Raine starts, but vines start to come into view
I immediately put in my mask
"Come along, sprout, Places to be, hedges to trim!" Terra says
I salute, "Awaiting further instructions, Head Witch"
"Stay put, I'll send someone to receive the package" Raine says
"Your uniform looks outdated, Captain, Looking like a pile of compost" Terra retorts
And the crystal balls huts off
"Good to see Terra is still a psychotic bitch" I state and take off the mask
"Eda?" Luz asks
I turn around to see the girl, holding the stuffed bunny and box
"Shit" I whisper, before Luna comes beside the human
"What happening?" Luna asks, holding another box, with pictures on top
"Are you sending us away!?" Luz asks
"Wait what?" Luna says
Lunas pov:
"The fuck is happening?" I ask staring at the standoff between my mom and girlfriend
"I don't know" titan says
"....I thought you said you could sense what happened on your skeleton tease
"Well, I said I can't do it all the time, by that I meant a long as it happens on the GROUND, on the dirt and grass, etc I can" titan states
"But, in buildings its....harder to tell, especially on floors other then the ground one" he states
"90% sure she was making a. Joke Titan" Crescent says
"...well...yeah but I figured I should explain it" titan responds
"And I'm not taking a part in your fight" I state
"You... You're sending me away!?" Luz demands, after a moment
"But I can help! Wh-Why don't you get that yet!?" Luz demands
"Call Raine back!" She yells
"Whoa- calm doen-whats exactly happening?" I ask
"Tell them there's no, package to receive!" Luz yells
"I'm not going anywhere until Belos is defeated!" She demands
I freeze hearing someone behind us, I turn to the door, but see no one, I look around quickly
"No" Eda states
"After everything we've been through, I can't believe you're still underestimating me!" Luz yells
"Okay, okay descalate the situation, and you'll be fine!" I think
"Hey, hey, what about this"i start and they look at me
"We go back to the...owl...cave? And talk and then come up with a plan about uh- what? Keeping us safe, while defeating Belo? How about that?" I ask
Luz turns away and clutches the bunny, walking away, "Fine, Let's just get back to King..."
I look at her then Eda, then swallow as she transforms to Harpy Eda
She flies towards me, and now, we're infront of Luz; Eda holding me under her arm
"You're GOING WITH RAINE, They'll keep you SAFE" Eda growls
"Why are you holding luna- and no! You can't MAKE me!" Luz states adn pulls out a glyph
My eyes widen, "hold on-"
"Yes....I can" Eda says after a pause
Luz sniffs and starts to tear up, before activating a glyph; the ice spike nearly missing my eye
I freeze, feeling the ice in-between my eyes and horn, barely not hitting it
Eda puts me down, and I freeze, looking down the stairs
"Stay here" She states and flies up
No ones pov:
Luz runs along the boxes,, and gets on Owlbert
"Owlbert!" Eda yells before Luz can get to far off the ground and he hoots
Luna forces herself to move and ignore the stiffness in her body; running down the stairs, following them
Meanwhile Luz falls down the boxes, and gets up grunting
Eda flies at her, and Luz turns around with a light glyph
She shields herself with her wings
meanwhile Luna sees the light and runs to it almost tripping multiple times
She draws a spell circle, and uses construction magic to make a floor moving thing
She goes faster, her body starting to lose adrenalin
Exa turns to a box, and it's gets kicked
Luz gasps and reappears, Eda gives chase
"Luz, please!" Eda yells
Luz growls and activates an ice glyph,, sliding on it
Luna runs down a box ally, seeing ice appear and runs for it
Eda meanwhile cracks the ice making Luz fall; she looks to her side and sees Luna running to them
Luna stops beside them, and draws a spell circle
planning on making a distraction, so she could trap them, with a vine trap Willow showed her
The blue-haured witch was FAR better at plants then he was
Luna freezes though, and clutches her cursed arm, feeling a familiar tingle
"Wha- you said- she starts to state
"We...can't let you put more stress on your body...." the two gods state
"The past few days put a loft of stress on your mental health" Crescent states, concerning because she's usually never concerned
"....and it's effecting your body"
Luna looks down, noticing her trembling legs and body, unable to speak
Eda and Luz catches the hybrids attention
"Raine will be here soon..I'll have King join you both afterwards...." Eda says
"But I can help with your plan!" Luz insists
"....It's time to go, kiddo" Eda says
A gaurd grabs Luna, covering her mouth and forcing a needle into her arm when she struggles;the hybrid passing out
meanwhile a captain shoots Eda
"Hands up, Owl Lady!" The Captain demands
"Eda!" Luz yells before getting a net tossed on her
"Lock 'em up!" The captain says, as all three are in nets
"And use the heavy-duty stuff this time" they state
King's pov:
"Hey, uh, your drink's getting warm" Steve says
I place my French fries down
"You know, Steve....I always wanted to have power!" I state, and raise my fists, "and to command respect and fear!"
I lower my fists,, and look down, "So now that I kind of...HAVE all that.."
"Wh- why does my stomach feel all... ugh!?" I ask
"Wants can change....So can people" Steve explains, "no one stays the same forever"
"I don't want people to see me as a big scary monster anymore..." I say, picking up a rolly polly, and my paper witch
"Me neither" Steve says and offers his helmet
I put the bug in it and smile
"Unhand him, you coven shil- Wait, Steve?" Lilith asks and puts her staff down
I stand up, "It's okay, it's okay, He's not a scout anymore!"
I pause and look to the sides, then turn my head to Steve
"Did I read that right?" I aks
Steve nods, giving me a thumbs up
"Nevertheless, let me shield you
with my pitiful life, oh powerful-" Lilith starts
"That's it!" I yell and step forward
"Stop it! I'm still king! KING!" I yell
"the little demon you you ate ice cream with and had a break down with! The same one that had a war with you! The same one who climbs up to people's shoulders, and likes crackers!" I state
"Is this how you acted, with the Emperor!?" I ask, "cause....I'm kinda concerned, honestly"
"I mean- I'm starting to see a, uh- little bit of a PATTERN with you" I state, "like with that ice statue of you bowing to Luz!...."
"Hey girl, I've been there, I can recommend a good therapist!" Steve cuts in
I turn to him, "cab I have one for my sister...an like, every single one of my family members....I don't think any of us are okay at this point"
"Yeah, totally, you should all get therapy, best way to get things off your chest and deal with trauma and fears" Steve says
"He's tricking you!" Hooty suddenly yells, "Attack plan activated!"
Hooty rams into Steve, knocking him over as he screams
"....HOOTY WHAT THE FUCK!?" I demand
Luzs pov:
"An envoy from the castle is coming to collect the human nd hybrid, to take them to Belos" the captain says
"And, The Owl Lady is to be taken
to the Conformatorium for Petrification...A real one this time" they state
"Why don't you just save yourself the trouble, and put me down now!?" Eda says, being careful of the knocked out Luan beside her
"You happy now?" I ask, "This way,
NEITHER of us can stop Belos"
"Why couldn't you just let me help with your stupid plan!?" I demand, "Is it 'cause I'm a kid!, Do you think I'm still that weak!? Well!?"
"It's because there is no plan! Okay!" Eda yells
"....Me and Lilith don't have magic, we don't have ANY allies, that can help...We're useless...." Eda says
"I- we- We have you, Luan, and King...so I was gonna do ANYTHING, to make sure that were safe" Eda says
An Abomaton comes forward, "But now it's all over...."
"Let go!" I yell being thrown in the cart beside Luna, who looks at the door in a daze
"Belos is a witch hunter- Yo- You have to listen!" I yell
"Eda- Eda, can you hear me!?" I ask and look through the bars
"I'll listen to you now! I'll do whatever you say! Just fight back! PLEASE!" I beg, as she's thrown in another cart
"Eda!" I yell before the doors shut
*time skip*
No ones pov:
Luna starts to wake up from the sleeping potion she had, had injected into her
'Mm, Luz? What's happening?" Luna asks
Luz looks at the door, not answering
The hybrid looks at the bars, and her eyes widen
"Why are we in a jail cart!?" The hybrid asks, and freezes, everything coming back to her
"....Luz here's Eda?" She asks
"We're about to find out, once the cart stops" Luz growls, generally angry
The hybrid scoots over to Luz, "hey its okay, well find her"
Luz nods, and they both freeze when the cart stops
Luna swallows, summoning Sunny and passing the lion to Luz
The human gives her a questioning look
"...I can't really...MOVE right now, my entire body feels TIRED" Luna says
Luz looks back at the door before kicking it down
"Where is she!? Take me to Eda!" Luz demands, starting to draw a circle with the staff
She yelps as something picks her up
"If you touch a single feather on her head I'll kill you! I've watched how to get away with murder! I know what I'm doing!" I yells and struggles to draw a circle
Eda laughs, and Luz freezes, "Luz... i don't know what that is- but, it's okay!"
Luna in the cart gets up shakily at the commotion, and hops down drawing a spell circle growling
"Luna, it's okay, kiddo" Eda says
Luna stumbles from a lack of adrenalin, and having just been drugged
Eda goes forward and supports the hybrid
"I thought you died...." Luna says
"Naw, I'm right here kiddo" Eda says
The two Teena look out, seeing multiple witches, two hybrids, and a demon
"I'm going to set you down, Please, try not to bite anyone...I've already had to deal with it more then once with the 'golden duo' kids" Darius states, rolling his eyes
"Darius?" Luna asks, hearing the familiar voice
"What's going on?" Luz asks
"Yeah-I- I second that" Luna says, starting to stand on her own
"You sure?" Eda asks quietly
"Yeah, yeah, I'm good, just really tired" Luna whispers back, and stepping by Luz
"Who are these people?" Luz asks, after Eberwolf bites off her chains
Luna having none due to being.....well, drugged
King runs up to the two girls
"Luz! Luna!" King yells as he flings himself at Luz
"King!" The girl yells in return
Luna kneels down, rubbing his skull
"So, you must be the famous human witch, and hybrid" Raine says
"Eda's been bragging about you both for HOURS, I'm Raine" Raine says
"Oh, my gosh" Luz says and squeals, menahwiel Luna stares at them
"I can't believe I'm actually meeting you in person!"Luz yells
"I heard ALL about your adventures with Eda! and how you became Head Witch of the bard coven! but were secretly a SPY!" Luz yells and gets up
"And then you and Eda played that duet and-" Luz gasps, "and then you got captured!"
"And your memories got all scram jambled!" King says from luzs arms
"And then you attacked my MOM" Luna growls
"Well- Actually when Darius captured me, he was really protecting me" Raine explains
"I thought I was the only one who found this Day of Unity junk suspicious" Darius states
"When I heard Raine was causing trouble, O had a feeling they'd know more" he explains
"You would've been locked away if it weren't for me~" Darius brags
"And a little less BRUISED, You could've let me in on things before attacking me!" Raine states
"You're a horrible actor, I had to make it look real!" Darius says
Raine sighs, "Ugh, this is just like Hexside...."
"Did you know any of this stuff when you were in charge?" Steve asks, walking over to Lilith and Hooty
"I'm starting to think, I uh- wasn't very GOOD at my JOB...." Lilith says and looks away
"Raine, why didn't you tell me anything?
I could've helped!" Eda states, as the kids hug and talk
"Is it so unbelievable that I wanted to keep you safe?" Raine asks, rubbing their neck
"But, in typical Eda fashion, you're not gonna stop until you make things right.." raine says
"I guess not....." Eda says and looks at her kids, HER kids, smiling
"Things aren't hopeless! They have a plan to stop Belos and the Draining Spell!" Lilith says
Luz gasps, walking over, "Really!?"
"Wait, wait- Before you get into that, PLEASE tell me you have a cool rebel name!" Luz asks;Kuna stepping beside Darius
"Actually, we do, Allow me to introduce..." Raine starts
Darous freezes and looks at them, "Wait- Hold on!"
"...the Covens Against the Throne!" Raine says, walking past people
"WE TALKED ABOUT THIS!" Darius yells
You promised.
"AKA..." raine syas with a smirk
"I DID NOT AGREE TO THIS NAME!" Darius yells
"...the CATTS!" Raine yells, their kids hissing
"Everything's come full circle, baby!" Luz yells and pulls on her hoodie
"...I'm not sure whether to feel offended, or touched" Luan says beside Darius
"Well- whatever, change it to CASTS because that's what raine gonna be in!" Luan yells
"Luna- we talked about this" eda says
"No! They hurt you and they had their MEMORIES!" Luna states
"So they did it of their own free will!" Luna stated, looking at raine, who waved back sheepishly
"No" Eda said
"Wha- but I have a dagger!" Luna yelled, "They almost KILLED you!"
"They didn't almost kill me- You're ovwr exaggerating!"eda stated
"You aren't the one who had to heal their MOM!" Luna yelled
"Listen, it was either fight me and keep up their act, or get caught" eda explained, making Luna grumble
She places a hand on her shoulder, "so no"
Luna huffs and looks at Raine, looking them up and down
"...I suddenly feel very threatened" Raine whispered
"....fien, but I'm blaring horrible music into their ears at random moments of the day just because" Luna stated
"I-no-....alright fine: eda said
"Wait what?" Raine asked as Luna fist pumped, running over to Luz
"Eh, don't worry about it raine, that kid would've done it regardless" eda said
"....that doesn't help my confusion-"raine starts
"Shhhhh, don't worry about it" eda said
"....how'd you get 3 kids who are exactly like you-" Raine asked
"I don't know!" Eda said cheerfully
"....I don't feel safe anymore" Raine stated
"Eh, it'll be fineeee" eda said, throwing an arm around their shoulders
"Luz means well, King is to nice to actually harm you, Luna.....just give her access to a kitchen and she'll be fineee" eda said, and paused
"....those, and don't threaten their lived ones" She said after a moment, "It'll be okay"
Later that night Luna proceeded to put hidden speakers in the walls...in every, single, room
King squeals and squeezes his bunny, "Francois!"
King is standing on the ground, the two teens and Ed son the bed, Sunny beside the hybrid
Luz and Eda on the edge of the ebd, while Luna is more in the middle, next to eda
"Oh- King, here" Luna says and throws the jacket at the demon, covering his body
King gasps and kicks it off, tail wagging, "yes! My blanket is back!"
Luna giggles and looks at him fondly, ignoring the thought that they have more comfortable blankets elsewhere
"Look what else is in here" Eda says, handing two boxes over
Luz looks at the toenail one and groans, opening it with her eyes closed
Shr gasps, "It's The Palistrom Wood!"
"I thought you'd want to carve your Palisman" eda says
Luna looks at her box, opening it, eyes widening at the clarinet inside
"What?" Luna asked
"Well, we can't celebrate your birthday, and you talk about the clarinet ya played in school" eda explained
It's the 29th of August
"So...I figured I could get you a small, present, i mean your birthdays 2 days away anyways, so...yeah" Eda stated
Luna sniffed and leaned on Eda, muttering a thank you
Eda chuckles, then notices Luzs face
"What do you say?"She prods, pacing a waddle next to Luz
"I shouldn't- The Day of Unity is in TWO days! Maybe sooner if he..." Luz pauses, not wanting to say the rest
"I- I have to focus on stopping Belos and..." Luz whimpers, Luna pulling her in for a hug with Eda
"You goob" Eda says, "This isn't all on you"
"Yeah, we have teammates now!
Meow, meow!" King says, and paws the air
Luna covering her mouth giggling at the cute gesture
"Yeah, plus, we got 3 coven heads!....I'm still made at raine though, eda" Luna stated
Eda sighed, "I- that was- ugh, nevermore well deal with it tomorrow"
"What if the Palisman doesn't like me?" Luz asks
Luna and Eda share a look, before smiling
"Well...that's virtually impossible, as-" Luna stops seeking Luz look away
"But..if it does, it'll warm up" Luna reassures, Sunny curling into her side
"Yeah...and By my count you've befriended more ENEMIES than I have claws on my paw!" King says, showing his 3 claws
"Plenty of witches and demons would have ditched this rock already" Eda says
"But you keep learning, and you keep fighting!" She states, "What's not to like huh?"
"Me and Amity sure like it~" Luna teases, hand under her chin
Luz giggles, blushing a little, "Thanks, Eda....Luna"
"Wait, let me do something to cheer you up!" Luna said, pulling out a red button remote
She presses it and music is heard from the remote
Luz tilts her head, before hearing a crash from Raines room
"Nut why!?- What was the point to all this, though!?" Riane yelled, "How did you even get speakers in here!? It's been two HOUR'S!"
Luna hit a smaller button under the big red on
"Luna, stop" Eda said simply, and the hybrid stuck her tounge out at her
Then She complied, hearing another crash
"Thank you!" Riane yelled
Luz chuckles then sniffs, "I think I'm ready to carve..."
Luz pauses and chuckles, "Um- you're gonna...show me how to do this, right?"
Eda snorts, "Oh, duh- My dad taught me the ropes"
"And I've done this once before with these two lions" Eda says, nudging her teen and nudging Sunny my correlation
"Here, let's make sure we have some space" eda says and the all scoot
"Lay the wood here" eda says, sitting the wood between her and the kids
"Are you gonna carve me?~" King teases, making his family laugh
"Calm down, King" Eda says fondly, "lets take it slow, We've got all the time in the world...."
Notes:
here's the chapter in a nutshell;
King has to process that she might even had a nightmare about the Collector
Luna has to deal with Lilith finding out she harbors two gods I'm her body, because apparently everyone forgot to talk about it!
Luna gets slightly pissed at Lilith
She decides to help her mental health, and take her mind off thisg she should probably TRY and sort
Such as, what is her species now? Is she technically part human?what happened to Hunter? is her friends and other GF okay process? process how her parents deaths where caused by belos, when is she gonna kill Belos, how she's gonna kill Belos, and if she has enough fire magic to set him on FIRE
by robbing AN EVIDENCE ROOM! And almost losing an EYE
Then gets knocked THE FUCK OUT, by a gaurd and thrown into a cart
She also now has to get more marriage and adoption papers because she burned the last ones she got-
She and King also meet their 3 new siblings called the BATT's, with one actually being a bat hybrid(wingless but still)
Also, You know, I wanted a REALLy wholesome meet up with Luna and Raine...
but then I realized that; Luna new the OLD Bard head not the new one....and she's protective of her loved one and would KILL anyone who hurt them....
In other words, Eda should NOT have told Luna about her an Raines fight at the parade; cause Luna has a knife and it's debatable wether or not the others can hold her back-
And Even if she doesn't harm the Bard with it....she's got words...and her glare....in other words, Raine is about to feel very threatened by her Ex, maybe girlfriends, teen child
Lunas gonna be blasting teen angst songs to wake the Bard up from now on, and refuse to admit it
I love you Raine, but Luna just sees you as breaking her mama's heart and she ain't letting you off Scott free!!
Alsooooo here's two memes I thought fit the Riane and Kuna interaction!
Don't worry, luan warms up to the witch, and while Luan still blasts music through the speakers; she now does it to EVERYONE, rather then just Raine
Also, funfact!! I actual play/played the clarinet;I was gonna have Luan be given the violin...but that seemed kind wrong for some reason, idk, And yes, it is my B-Day!!!!
