Hey guys! This is my first story here on Fanfiction dot net in quite a while, and I thought I'd do one on the Owl House! I love the show and I really thought I could do something great with the world we've been given in the Boiling Isles. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
Three days.
It has been three days since their failed attempt to rescue Eda from the clutches of the emperor. The disaster of a rescue mission had actually started because of Luz's stupid idea to steal the Hat of Healing to break her mentor's curse. She ended up being captured and used as bait for the infamous Owl Lady to be trapped.
After being rebuffed by Lilith, Eda's sister, Luz was devastated to hear of a scheduled petrification at sundown. Her mentor would be the first in several years to be sentenced. And there was no way to come back once Belos petrified you. Luz was determined to save her mentor, and after fighting her way to Eda, Luz was given the task of keeping the portal to the human world out of the emperor's control.
She had destroyed the portal, whispering her apologies to her mother in the process, before being witness to the petrification being completed. She was just a second too late. Belos had delayed just enough to seal Edalyn's fate.
Lilith, having turned traitor to the emperor, used her considerable skill to send Luz and king away from the emperor's domain. She burned up her magic in doing so, and so was also petrified. Luz had lost.
Once she had returned to the Owl House, she had told Hooty to move the house to as far away as he could. They had traveled a full day and a half before reaching their destination: the Knee. The frozen wasteland had been a great choice to hide as it was so remote that few witches dared brave it. The only danger were the slither beasts, but Luz knew from experience that avoiding contact would be enough to stay out of trouble. Now with this new base of operations, it was time for Luz to train. The next time she would face the Emperor, she would defeat him.
Luz Noceda, the Wing of the Owl, stood looking out upon the Boiling Isles and dreamed of the day she could save her friend. Owlbert in hand and Kind riding on her shoulder, she walked back to the Owl House as she vowed to herself that she would become stronger.
