Willow and Amity went to the Owl House. Luz wasn't answering their calls and they were getting worried. They tried to get others to come over, but they were busy. Boscha was shedding her skin... a common thing for her kind of demon, Gus was working on his paper for Journalist class, Amelia and Kat were practicing for Grudgby season in a couple weeks, and Skara was getting paperwork ready to dual track Beast Keeping and Bard.

"She's fine, right?" Amity asked, "She's just going through some kind of... Avatar thing. That's got to be it."

"You seem to be very protective of her, Amity." Willow said with a smirk, "Is it possible that you... like her?"

"W-w-what!?" Amity said, "No! N-n-no, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm straight."

"You're as straight as a curly fry."

Amity blushed and started to walk faster, proving Willow right. They make it to the Owl House and Hooty greeted them, which startled Amity.

"Hello!"

Amity screamed and punched him, sending him right back into the door.

"Woah, when did you get so strong?" Willow asked.

Amity put her hands to her sides.

"It's a... side effect of my medicine." Amity said, confused by her sudden strength.

The door opened and Eda was on the other side.

"Oh, you're Luz's little friends. Maybe you can help a little better."

Eda moved aside and let them in. They found Luz pacing back and forth in the living room, speaking that language she told them was called Spanish.

"Uh, Luz?" Willow asked.

Luz looked at Willow and both Willow and Amity saw Luz's eyes, both bloodshot and with dark bags under them.

"Luz, how much sleep did you get last night?" Willow asked.

"I-I-I didn't, I was too worried." She said, before going back to pacing.

Eda looked at Willow and Amity.

"She's been like this all morning." Eda said, "Every time I ask her about what's wrong, she starts mumbling something along the lines of 'It can't be him'. Whatever that means."

"There has to be something we can do to help." Amity said.

"There might be." Eda said, "But it's highly illegal-"

"Since when did you care about the law?" Willow asked.

"Way to ruin my joke, Glasses." Eda said, "Anyway, I can send you two in her mind to see what the problem is."

"Are you sure that's not a little extreme?" Amity asked.

"Listen, I have something to do later, and I can't leave Luz like this. If you can find out what has her so distressed, maybe you can find a way to help her."

Amity and Willow looked at each other.

"I... I guess we might not have a choice." Willow said, "We'll do it."

"Great!"

Eda made a spell circle and aimed it at Luz. The spell hit Luz and she fell on the ground face first.

"Oh, my bad." Eda said, picking Luz up and putting her on the couch, "Alright, here, ring this bell when you figure this whole thing out and I'll bring you back. Oh, and watch out for her inner Luz, she might help."

Eda sent them into Luz's mind.

"Or she might try and obliterate you, I'm not sure how Human minds work." Eda said, "I'm sure it'll be fine."

Eda went to the kitchen to get a nice cup of alcohol. On the other side of the Isles, in the Emperor's Castle, Belos is watching over Hunter.

"Again." Belos said.

Hunter wiped sweat off his head and got back into a stance. He put his right arm out, making a strong blast of fire come out. He then moved his left arm out and another blast of fire came out. He ran and jumped. He moved his body around and made an arch of fire come out. Hunter landed, but stumbled and fell on his back. Belos looked at him. There was a lot of work to do for him to even stand a chance against someone with his Firebending.

"Well, this seems to be an interesting development."

Belos and Hunter looked at the door and saw Lilith standing there.

"I see you arrived." Belos said, "You said you had to speak to me about something."

"Indeed." Lilith said, "I have learned of a place that Caine is in, at least temporarily."

"How did you do that without dying?" Hunter asked.

"I did die." Lilith said, "Thankfully I was expecting too. You see, after learning that there was something going on at the Knee, I asked a very big favor from Edalyn. She found a way to join this group and has become a spy for us. I told her to not hold back when it came to torture, anything she was told to do, I told her to do it. In the event that she was to kill me, we made a few Revival potions."

"Those were outlawed long ago, along with the rest of Necromancy." Belos said.

"But without one, I wouldn't be able to give you this information." She said.

"I'll give you that." Belos said, "Let's go somewhere privately and talk."

"Agreed."

In Luz's mind, Willow and Amity landed in what looked like a temple.

"So, this is her mind, huh?" Amity asked.

"I think I heard something about the mind being modeled after something that's close to the person." Willow said.

Amity and Willow started walking until Amity stopped and held her stomach. She started to groan which got Willow's attention.

"Are you okay?"

"Y-y-yeah, just a side effect." Amity said, "Let's get going."


It certainly would be bad if Amity's... condition, started to flare up during this. I'm going to my brother's wedding tomorrow, so no updates this weekend. Follow, Favorite, and Review for more.
