Luz was excited, it was her first official day at school. She hopes this isn't like her last first day where she had to fight a Basilisk.
"You excited Kid?" Eda asked, putting food in front of Luz.
"Yep! This time, I won't have to fight a giant monster." Luz said.
"Kid, it's the Demon Realm, fighting things like that are just another Tuesday." Eda said, noticing the crystal ball flashing "By the way, I think your friends are trying to call you."
Luz noticed the flashing crystal ball and tapped it. Gus and Willow's faces popped up and Luz smiled.
"Willow, Gus! Hi!" Luz said, "Are you excited for school?"
"Luz, it's not like it's our first time going to school." Willow said.
"Well, it is for me, I'm excited to have a full day this time!" Luz said.
Luz saw King begin to struggled and climb the table. Alejandra moved her head under him and boosted King up.
"Luz, good news, I have a way to make our comedy hour even better!" King said.
"No, not the comedy hour." Eda said.
King put a paper towel roll on his nose.
"I've been working with props! Oh dear, I've gotten a tube stuck on my nose! Will I ever eat again?" He slams a piece of bread on his face, "Looks like I'm toast!
Luz and King laugh while Eda groans.
"It just goes on like this for an hour!"
"Heyo, dough boy, quit loafing around!" Luz said.
"Why don't you bake me?"
Luz and King continue to laugh, Eda on the verge of a mental breakdown. The crystal ball buzzes with an alarm and flashes red. The time, 8:00, flashes below Willow and Gus.
"School time! See you guys in class!"
"Bye!" Willow said.
"See you there!" Gus said.
Luz hung up and kissed King's skull. She ran over and hugged Eda.
"I'll be back later!"
Luz ran out the door and ran to the school, where she found her friends standing outside it.
"Hey guys, what's-" Luz noticed the large amount of yellow tape on the front door, "What happened here?"
Principal Bump walked onto the steps with a megaphone.
"Attention students, school is canceled today due to an infestation of Pixies." Bump said, "We don't know where they came from, but we will remove them as soon as possible."
Boscha looked nervous and started to walk backwards before turning and sprinting away. Luz, Willow, and Gus just looked at each other.
"You know, I was at Boscha's house about a week ago, and I think I saw a pixie." Luz said.
"That doesn't surprise me." Willow said, "So, I guess we have the day off from school then."
Luz turned around and walked away. She made it back to the Owl House and opened the kitchen door.
"Hey, you're back early. Did Bump finally take my advice and shorten the school day?" Eda asked.
"Hexside has an infestation of Pixies. So, schools been cancelled."
Before Luz could continue, King came in and climbed onto Luz's head.
"I didn't miss you at all." King said.
"Did I... miss something?" Luz asked.
"Oh, we were just having a conversation about him missing you when you're gone."
Luz reached up and grabbed King.
"Oh, did my little Boo Boo Buddy miss me?" She asked in a baby voice.
Luz proceeded to give him several kissed to the skull. Hooty came in and... regurgitated the mail. Eda picked it up and looked at it.
"Junk, Junk, Junk, Death Hex." Eda tossed the Hex into the trash and it blew up, "Oh, there's a carnival in town."
"Really?!" Luz asked, "Can we go!?"
"Well, you two can." Eda said, "I... got a new job."
"Really? You got a job?" Luz asked, tilting her head.
"Hey, I'm not that lazy." Eda said, "Anyway, you two go have fun."
Eda started pushing Luz and King towards the door. She closed the door and looked at her Crystal Ball. A news report had come on.
"This just in, the Leader of the Emperor's Coven, Lilith Clawthorne, has been reported missing. The Emperor has offered a large amount of money for anyone that has information the leads to her rescue."
Eda looked at the crystal ball for a second before turning it off. In another part of the Isles, Lilith started to wake up. She doesn't remember what happened, all she knows, is that someone came up from behind her and injected her with something that knocked her out.
"I see you're awake." A voice said.
Lilith looked around and saw a person standing on the other side of the cell.
"Who are you?" Lilith asked, her eyes not fully open.
"The name... is Caine."
"Y-y-you're the person that the Emperor is trying to stop." Lilith said, "When I get out of here the Emperor will learn about this place and stop you!"
"Who's saying you will get out?" Caine asked, "I hope you enjoy your stay, in the meantime, I will leave you with my newest... employee. You might know them."
He walked away, revealing a person standing behind him. They were in a black dress with a black hood and silver mask. They took the mask off and Lilith recognized them instantly.
"Edalyn?"
