Eda sat on the couch, with her fingers against her mouth. She was deep in thought, conflicted between beating the shit out of the Golden Guard or tying him up and throwing him to her daughters. The stuff he just did, threatening her girls, blowing Lucia's leg off, breaking into her house!
"Mom?"
Eda looked over and saw Luz.
"Hi, Luz."
"Are... are you upset with me?" Luz asked.
"What?" Eda asked, "Why would I be upset?"
"Because I gave up the key. I betrayed your trust."
"Luz, look at me." Eda said, sternly, "You gave it up, to protect your last blood relative. Someone who you just got back. You've had so much happen in such a short time. I could never be upset with you, because that is what anyone with a heart like yours would do."
"I failed." Luz said, "They have everything they need because of me."
"Kid, enough. You didn't do anything, you were given a lose/lose situation and picked what you thought was best." Eda said, "I don't think I could've done the right thing in that situation. How's your sister?"
"Her leg is regrowing." Luz said, "It should be back by morning."
"Good." Eda said, "Go rest kid. I need to think about stuff."
Luz walked up the stairs, still feeling like she failed. At the castle, Hunter walked up to Belos with the key in his hand.
"Uncle, I retrieved the key." Hunter said.
Belos took the key.
"Excellent, we have everything we need, now all we have to do is wait." Belos said.
A guard came up to Belos.
"Sorry to interrupt my Liege, but the... items you requested have arrived."
"Good." Belos said, "Leave Hunter, you've done good today."
Belos followed the guard to a separate room, where he saw what he requested.
"Excellent. Leave me, I have much work to do."
In the Owl House, Eda was trying to work on a potion, when she got a call from Lilith. Eda turned her Crystal Ball on.
"Please tell me you called with good news." Eda said.
"Edalyn, I was at the graveyard to visit our parent's graves... their gone." Lilith said, "Someone stole our parents remains."
Eda dropped the spoon and turned her attention to the call.
"What?"
"Their graves were dug up and their coffins were opened. They're gone." Lilith said.
Eda put her hands on the table and closed her eyes, trying to keep her emotions under control.
"Edalyn." Lilith said, "The same thing happened to Raine."
Eda dragged her arms across the table and, in one fluid motion, threw everything off the table. She was angry, who wouldn't let the dead rest!? The crystal ball shattered, and Eda slammed her hands on the table again. She was breathing heavily. Her anger got the better of her, which causes a problem... as feathers began growing out of her.
