Afternoon at the Owl House, Yunan was busy doing some pull ups on a pull up bar that was fitted in to Luz's room, since she was taking up temporary residence in it. She was working out in her natural state, which was without her armour which meant without clothes. Though, Eda requested she'd wear loincloths on the parts no one wants to see.

"One hundred and twelve….one hundred and thirteen….one hundred and fourteen!" Yunan performed a flip off of the pull up bar and began stretching.

Then, Willow entered the room. "Hey Yunan, Eda needs…." She screamed when she saw Yunan like that. "Clothes! Put some clothes on!"

"Ah, Maple, was it?" Yunan asked.

"Willow."

"Ah, still a tree." Yunan patted Willow on her back which was causing the Plant Coven student some discomfort.

"Listen, could you put your armour back on?" Willow asked. "Some people get uncomfortable with the sight of almost naked humanoid amphibians."

"Uh, sensitive witches." Yunan groaned. "Please leave, I wish to get changed in private."

"Okay." Willow said before closing the door. Once she closed the door, she shuddered. "That image is never getting out of my brain!"

But when Yunan was just getting her armour on, a photo suddenly slipped out of the arm. "Huh?" Yunan reacted before picking it up. She stared at the photo and she pulled a saddened look. She gritted her teeth as tears began to fall from her eyes.

"I will find a way back. I promise." Yunan said before putting the photo in the collar.

Later, Yunan got downstairs where she saw Grime communicating with the possessed hand of Lilith and writing down what it was trying to say.

"Okay, please slow down a little." Grime requested. "I can't keep up."

She also noticed Gus, Edric and Emira discussing a previous adventure he had. "So, you and another illusions master managed to make illusions so convincing that you managed to traumatise a Glandus student for life?" Emira asked.

"Yeah." Gus replied.

The twins smiled. "Say little man, how about you…."

"I'm gonna say no." Gus interjected.

"Eh, understandable." Emira said.

She also noted Willow drinking a lot of eggs from a jug that Lilith was taking interest in. "May I ask why you're drinking griffin eggs from a jug?"

"Sorry, I gotta get in the right shape if I want to be a part of Hexside's first Flyer Derby." Willow replied.

"Flyer Derby?" Lilith remarked. "You know, your dads were quite amazing back in their prime."

"Hey kid, if you want to be strong at this Flyer Derby, you know what I suggest?" Yunan asked.

"What?"

"Survive in a cold and dark forest completely in loincloth!" Yunan replied before flexing. "That's how this old gal got these."

Willow stared at Yunan with a deadpan expression. "Yeah, I'd rather not."

"Yunan, good, you're down." Eda said. "We were going to do draw the short straw when you got down, but fortunately you were taking too long so we started without you and you got the short straw."

Yunan stared at Eda with confusion. "So, am I out of the group?"

"Unfortunately, you're far too useful." Grime replied. "We were drawing the short straw to see who would do the shopping. Here's a list."

He handed the newt a list which contained a few items. Which included elixir, some grub for Hooty and a psychic ID."

"A psychic ID?" Yunan asked.

"It's an identification card that makes people see what you want them to see." Grime explained. "They said it would 100% work."

"Sounds like a scam." Yunan remarked.

"Let him have it." Eda sighed. "Just let him have it."

Yunan picked up the list and walked out of the house to get the items she needs. "Wow. I can't wait to see Grime's reaction when he realises it doesn't work."

Once the newt arrives in Bonesborough she is amazed by what is going on. She saw that the Coven scouts were preparing for what looked like some kind of parade. "Wow, what's going on here?" The newt asked as she walked up to the stand.

"Oh, it's the Coven Day Parade." Morton replied as he handed Yunan the elixirs and grub. "It's a day that celebrates the Emperor and the Coven. If you ask me, it's just a fancy way to kiss his ass."

"Wow, sounds it." Yunan remarked before glancing at the items. "Do you also have the psychic ID?"

Morton began to think. "Shipments of the fake ones came in an hour ago, so I'll hand it to you."

"Don't worry, it's for a frienemy."

"Okay." Morton said before walking to the back to find the item Yunan requested.

While Yunan looked at the Coven Day Parade preparations, she noted two elderly wives walking along the street, holding hands with each other. They snuggled as they walked to a nearby tavern, something that made Yunan feel sad.

She pulled out the picture from the collar of her armour and stared at it in sadness. "How will I find you again?"

Then, Morton returned with the psychic ID and handed it to Yunan. "Believe me, it won't work." Morton said.

Yunan laughed as she took it. "Believe me, this stuff is a scam."

"I literally said it was a fake." Morton said. "Real ones are illegal."

Yunan walked up to a Coven scout. "Pardon me…Uh….Name?"

"Steve."

"Steve, what does my ID say?" Yunan asked. "I left my glasses at home and I need to know if I wrote my name correctly."

Steve looked at the ID and began to read it. "Zehra Tarth; Part of the emotional support Coven?"

Yunan looked at the ID in surprise. Though it was blank, it was apparent it did work. "I guess I am."

"Oh great, because we got someone having some kind of emotional problems over there." Steve pointed to Kikimora, whom was on the crow phone to someone.

"Mother, please! No, I'm not seeing anyone…..Yes, I'm standing up straight…..Listen, I can't come home. If I don't lead this parade, Belos will end my…..No! No, of course I miss everybody. I… What? I can't chose! Hello? Mother? Mother?" Kikimora sighed sadly.

"I hate her, but I can't help but feel sorry for her." Steve sighed. "I really need to leave The Emperor's Coven." He walked away to guard one of the roofs of the street.

Yunan stared at Kikimora feeling some kind of sympathy for the demon. She looked like she missed someone close to her, but can't leave her duties. Yunan knew the same feeling, whereas Yunan doesn't have the option, Kikimora does and she is determined to help.

She walked up to Kikimora and coughed. "Hello there!"

Kikimora groaned. "What do you want? Are you that newt the Emperor's Coven has been looking for?"

Yunan laughed. "Preposterous! I am not General Yunan! Scourge of the sand wars, defeater of Wragnar the Wretched and the youngest newt to ever achieve the rank of general in the great Newtopian army! I am actually Zehra Tarth! Scourge of the sadness, preventer of 400 suicides and the oldest newt demon to ever become part of the Emotional Support Coven!"

Kikimora sighed. "Oh great, just what I need."

"I saw you were on the phone to somebody, wanna tell me what's wrong there?"

Kikimora narrowed her eyes at the newt. "No, there isn't anything wrong with me."

"Are you sure?" Yunan asked. "You know, I am part of the Emotional Support Coven. I won't judge."

"Whether you judge me or not, I won't talk about my problems to anybody! Not even you!"

12 minutes later.

"And– and then she said if I don't make it back for the family reunion, I'd be banished from Palm Stings and the family home! But I've failed too many missions, and if I leave my job now, I'll be banished from my life!" Kikimora cried while Yunan patted her on the back.

"There, there." Yunan said. "Let it all out. So, your options are very limited."

"On the one hand, I miss my family. On the other, Belos is not a forgiving man. But I'm just a party planner at this point." Kikimora said.

"I mean, you could resign."

"Again, Belos is not the forgiving type." Kikimora said. "Neither is my mother but I love her and my family. I'm not as much as a monster as everyone thinks I am. Plus, the Coven pays really well."

"Hmmm, how do I get you home without losing your job?" Yunan asked.

"Why you?" Kikimora asked. "Aren't you just the emotional support Coven?"

Yunan looked round the street for anything before quickly taking Kikimora down an ally where she made a loud weeping noise that made a passing Terra Snapdragon curious before walking away with what appeared to be a drink in her hand.

Inside the ally, Yunan had the terrified Kikimora's back against the wall. "Ahhh! Take all my snails!"

"Listen Kikimora, I am not really Zehra Tarth! Scourge of the sadness, preventer of 400 suicides and the oldest newt demon to ever become part of the Emotional Support Coven! I am actually General Yunan! Scourge of the Sand Wars! Defeater-"

"What do you want?! I don't need to know your titles!" Kikimora interjected.

Yunan lowered Kikimora and patted her head. "Sorry. Listen, how about I try and help you get back to your family?"

"My hand dragon is at the docks." Kikimora replied. "If I could just get there, I'd be on my way to Palm Stings in no time!"

"And you will get there!" Yunan declared. "Because I will fake your kidnapping during the ceremony!"

"What?!"

"If I kidnap you, then you'd have a good reason for being missing." Yunan replied. "Plus, if there are witnesses, then Belos would let you keep your job."

"How?!" Kikimora asked. "The plan is impossible. The security is going to be tight with guards on the roof and streets. You're going to need a whole team to do this."

Yunan began to ponder. "Kiki, I will think of a way for my allies to help you and your problems. And when that comes, I shall send you a messenger fly!"

"We don't have messenger flies." Kikimora informed her.

"Oh, what is the messenger fly equivalent here?" Yunan asked.

"We have crows." Kikimora replied. "Look, here's mine." She handed the newt her crow phone. "Once you figure out a plan, call Steve to hand me his. You probably don't know how this…"

"Nah. Master Marcy showed it me." Yunan assured her. "Though, it looked less like a bird and more like some kind of rectangle. Anyway, I'll call you when I figure something out. Which could be really hard."

Later at the Owl House, Yunan was looking over the things Edric and Emira have brought. "So, these fireworks can write any kind of message if you set your mind to them?"

"Yes." Emira replied. "Because of Edric."

"I didn't do this, it was D. Ricti Beth GL." Edric's response made Emira groan.

"Okay you two, go ahead." Yunan said. "Let's create chaos!"

Once, Edric and Emira walked out of the bedroom Willow entered, looking suspicious. "Oh hey, Elm!"

"It's Willow." Willow reminded the newt.

"Still a tree. What can I do you for?"

"Hmm, you seemed really intent on doing this plan." Willow remarked. "Care to tell me what's going on?"

Yunan chuckle. "Why are you suddenly suspicious of me? You hardly know me!"

"Let's say, I've been around a lot of people that fall under my suspicious metre." Willow replied. "What are you really doing?"

"Helping Eda out!" Yunan replied. "Plus, I am a military strategist! Quick thinking, intuition and quick reactions are my thing!"

Suddenly, Yunan got hit on the back of the head by a plant pot that came in from the window. "Sorry Yunan!" Hooty yelled.

Willow stared at Yunan with suspicion before shrugging her shoulders. "Okay. But if there is anything going on that makes me suspicious, then I will tell Eda."

Once Willow left, Yunan's smile disappeared as she dug into her collar and began to stare at the picture again. "If I can't get back to you, then maybe I can give myself some hope my helping someone." Yunan froze as she realised something. "Oh, that reminds me!"

Meanwhile, Kikimora was standing behind one of the parade floats just scratching her butt without anyone looking.

"Uh, Kikimora." Steve said.

"I wasn't doing anything!" Kikimora exclaimed as she stopped.

"Hey, I pick my nose when no one's looking." Steve chuckled. "Don't be ashamed about it. Anyway, here's my phone. Someone is in desperate need to talk to you." He handed her his phone which she took.

"Uh, hello?" Kikimora asked.

"Kikimora! It is I, General Yunan! Scourge of the…"

"Don't do that!" Kikimora demanded.

"Fine." Yunan groaned. "Anyway, I figured out a plan. While the others are busy rescuing Raine Whispers and you send the guards to investigate a disturbance created by me, I will bravely pounce down to rescue you and send you to your beloved/pet ride."

"That plan sounds over complicated and would require some kind of flawless execution." Kikimora said.

"Which was why I sent out Grime to map out the parade."

Kikimora sighed. "I knew the toad inspector looked suspicious. Look, this plan better work, because if it doesn't, I will call you out after I am possible captured and requested you have your petrified head on a stick!"

"Okay! Okay! Okay! Jeez!" Yunan said. "Anyway, I better be going. See you tonight."

Kikimora hung up and handed the phone to Steve, who walked away back to his post. The demon sighed. "This isn't going to work. I can't believe I let them talk me into this."

"Who talked you into what?"

Kikimora flinched when she heard the voice of Raine. She turned and saw they were looking down at her with an intrigued look. "R-Raine? H-How long have you been there? Shouldn't you be practicing your, um parade wave?"

"You know I hate these things. Talking to people. Waving to people. People." Raine and Kiki shuddered. "But I'm just happy to do my part."

"You seem more calm than usual." Kikimora remarked.

"Oh, why wouldn't they be?" Terra asked as she approached the two. "They were sick for a while, but thanks to me, they're good as new!"

"Oh hey Terra." Kikimora said. "Surprised you decided to come our your greenhouse for this."

"Terra's been helping me recover. I can't remember anything with these…." Raine winced as they held their head. "…headaches."

"Here sprout, drink your tea." Terra handed Raine their tea which they gladly took and whistled into before taking a large gulp.

"Thanks Terra." Raine said.

"There you go." Terra said to Raine like a mother soothing their sick kid. "Now, you're gonna get on top of that float and wave to thousands of chumps all night. Remember to lead with your elbow."

"Yes, Head Witch!" Raine walked off to find their float while Terra stayed behind to leer at Kikimora.

"I saw you disappear into an ally a few hours ago with a newt demon." Terra remarked. "Who was that?"

Kikimora began stuttering. "That was Zehra Tarth! Scourge of the sadness, preventer of 400 suicides and the oldest newt demon to ever become part of the Emotional Support Coven!" Kikimora exclaimed proudly, causing Terra some confusion.

"That was….rather boisterous." Terra remarked before smiling sinisterly. "You're not trying to leave, are you?" Kikimora nervously shook her head. "Come, the parade is about to begin."

Meanwhile in the forest near the Owl House, Yunan was on the crow phone to Kikimora. "The plan's about to be set in motion…..Yes, in approximately forty-five minutes, that's when this kidnapping/rescue will begin….Okay, see you there." She hung up the crow phone and put it in a bush before reaching back into her collar and pulling out the photograph.

Yunan knew that the photo would bring her some kind of sadness but she couldn't help. She just wanted to look at them again. She wanted to hold them, she wanted to squeeze them, she wanted to tell them how much of her feelings she had been hiding from them.

"Who were you talking to?"

The sudden appearance of Willow made Yunan panic as she accidentally dropped her photo. "Oh, Sycamore!"

"Willow!"

"Right, right. What's up?"

"Who were you talking to?" Willow asked with intrigue.

"Oh…I….I…I…I stole this crow phone from Kikimora and I was prank calling a few people." Yunan smiled and sweat nervously, causing Willow more suspicion.

"I don't know why you mentioned Kikimora either. It's starting to come to a point….Where I'm beginning to wonder if you're secretly thinking about joining the Emperor's Coven."

"What?!" Yunan exclaimed. "Preposterous! I would never betray Eda after everything we have done! Plus, Grime needs to kill me once this is done. Now, if you excuse me."

When Yunan tried to get past Willow, she summoned some vines that blocked her path which was causing the newt some frustration.

"Yunan, I won't be angry, just tell me, why is Kikimora suddenly part of the plan?"

Yunan was sweating. If she told Willow, then she could possibly tell everyone else that Yunan's true intentions are.

"Hey Yunan, are we ready?!"

The sudden voice of Gus made Willow turn her head slightly before turning back to Yunan, whom was now climbing up a tree to avoid her.

"Yeah, we're about to get ready!" Yunan replied.

Willow gritted her teeth in anger about Yunan avoiding the question. But then, she looked down on the ground and noticed something that caught her attention. It looked like a photograph. The Plant Coven student picked it up and began to stare at it with intrigue. It was at this moment, she had an idea what might be going on. Whatever is making Yunan act odd, was this picture.

Later at the parade, Yunan jumped off the roof she was standing on and tackled Kikimora into an ally. "Gotcha!" She began running down the ally, still carrying Kikimora in her arms.

But unbeknownst to them, Terra had been watching Kikimora from her parade float, noticing that she had been snatched into an ally.

She ran deeper into the ally and into a street where the two hid behind a trash can. "Oh my frog, I can't believe it worked!"

"We're visible?" Kikimora began to shake the newt. "We need to disappear again! If we're caught, she will end us!"

Yunan laughed. "Nonsense! No body can see us! By the way, who's she?"

Then, a plant bursted from the ground and it opened up to reveal Terra, posing like graceful boss. "Head Witch of the Plant Coven, Terra Snapdragon." Kikimora replied.

"And I assume she's bad?" Yunan asked.

"You assume?!" Kikimora whispered angrily. "We have to get out."

Yunan then noticed a nearby bush and quickly dived in it along with Kikimora and began to crawl away. "I know this is dumb but believe me, this works." Yunan assured her.

Terra began to look around the street for Kikimora and Yunan, but couldn't find neither. "Oh, my word. Where could Kiki have gone? Such a valued member of the coven must be found post haste! Have you seen her little fly?" Terra crushes the fly. "Guess not."

"Wow, that poor messenger fly." Yunan said.

"What a shame that Kikimora would disappear… and right before her promotion."

Kikimora yelped and Yunan placed her hand on where the mouth should be. "Wait, where is your mouth?" Yunan asked.

"All the missions she would have led, the shiny new badge, the respect. Ah, well. Guess we'll have to fine someone else!" Terra threw a vine that was about to hit them, but then another plant grew from the ground, blocking the sharp plant while more vines held Terra back by her wrists.

She looked up as she someone silhouetted on the roof. "Hmm, another pest."

When Yunan popped her head all confused to try and understand what had happened, she suddenly felt some vines grabbing her by the ankles and dragging her underground. "Woah!"

"Ahhhhhh!" Kikimora screamed.

They thought they were being dragged underground to the core of the Isles or worst, suffocate under the dirt. But then, they popped up at the docks where Kikimora's hand dragon was waiting.

Yunan looked up and grinned. "Thanks, whoever you are."

"Well, aren't you taking me to my Princess?" Kikimora asked.

"Yes, right." Yunan put Kikimora on her Hand Dragon and grinned. "Okay, Kikimora, this little beastie here will get you back to your family in Palm Stings by morning. Isn't it great? You'll see everyone at the reunion, and when you return, you can brag about your daring escape!" Yunan jumped off the dragon and smiled.

"You've been such a help to me, newt." Kikimora said. "You really are a kind person... and an utter fool!"

Yunan chuckled nervously. "Uh…what?"

"Palm Stings can burn for all I care!" Kiki exclaimed. "You heard Terra. They want to promote me! Me!"

Yunan narrowed her eyes as she activated her wrist blades. "She's bluffing. You have to realise it!"

"That's a risk I'm willing to take." Kikimora argued. "Maybe as a thank you I could give Belos a gift. A troublemaking newt!" The dragon tried to lunge at Yunan, but then some vines began to hold her down, causing Yunan and Kikimora some confusion.

"Terra?"

"Not even close." Yunan turned around to see Willow approaching them. "How about a professional troublemaker?"

Kikimora narrowed her eyes at the Plant Coven student before her dragon freed herself from the vine and roared.

Yunan ran underneath the dragon and stabbed it in all four of its ankles, causing it to collapse on Yunan.

Once her dragon was down, Kikimora looked kind of disappointed. "Huh, I thought the fight would have lasted longer." Kikimora sighed. "Would have gone better if that human was still around."

Then, the back of the dragon began to move about a bit before Yunan dug her way out, covered in blood, screaming with triumph. "Aahhhhh! Wow! You would not believe what this thing ate!"

Kikimora stared at her dead pet with sadness in her eyes. "No!" She narrowed her eyes at Yunan as the hand that covered her eye began to open. "You will pay!"

But before Kikimora could cast a spell against the newt, she was suddenly held down by a few more vines.

Yunan smiled and stared at Willow, looking impressed. "Ah! Thank you Willow!"

"Actually it…Wait, now you remember my name?!" Willow exclaimed. "Plus, it wasn't me!"

Then, from the boiling sea came a giant fly trap that opened up to reveal, Terra Snapdragon. The newt stared at the Coven Head with surprise before jumping off and standing with Willow, whom was ready to cast a spell in case things got ugly.

"Oh Kiki, don't get ahead of yourself." Terra said. "The Emperor has a great many plans, but causing a riot by hurting a couple of pests is not one of them."

"Terra! Shouldn't you be babysitting the bard?" Kikimora asked.

"I wasn't sent here to watch over Raine. I was sent here to watch over you." Terra freed Kikimora, who dusted herself off. "The promotion is real. You just had to prove your dedication."

"Did I pass?" Kikimora asked with excitement.

"Unfortunately, yes." Terra sighed just as Kikimora squealed with excitement.

"So? What's the promotion? Who's under my command? What do I get?" Kikimora asked excitedly.

"You get…..to live." Kikimora groaned. "Come Kiki, there is work to be done." Terra trapped Kikimora in a fly trap before turning to Yunan and Willow. "If you ever see that human again, tell her that Emperor Belos is looking forward to see her again." She said before disappearing into the boiling sea with the demon.

Yunan wiped the sweat off her brow before noting the blood on her armour. "Woah! I'm gonna need a bath." She noticed Willow staring at her with her arms folded. "Oh yeah, that. Well, I'd love to explain, but it's complicated."

Willow then pulled out a photo from her pocket and handed it to Yunan. "Does it have something to do with the photograph?" The photo happened to be of Lady Olivia with a little message written on the side saying 'Good luck, General. Olivia. XXXX.'

Yunan sighed as she took the photo, there was no going back. "Wow kid. Smart observation."

"Who is she? Is she your girlfriend?"

Yunan laughed. "No, but I'd like something to come out of it. Her name's Olivia, she's the king's advisor. She's all strict, a perfectionist, snooty and difficult to deal with." Yunan sighed. "Which explains why I fell for her. I guess I want someone in my life, who can kind of be my solar opposite to my boisterous and violent personality. I thought, if I helped Kikimora get back to the people she loved then there'd be hope for me." Yunan wiped a tear coming from her eye. "She's in Amphibia as far as I'm aware of and I don't know what horror's the king has for her. Last time I saw her was when I invaded Wartwood to get the box and I'm worried that either I had her killed or worst, she's captured and being subjected to all kinds of torture." Yunan began sniffling while Willow stared at her with sympathy.

Willow was about to hug her but then pulled back. "I'd hug you, but you stink. Really bad. No offence."

Yunan chuckle. "Don't worry Willow. I'll find a perfectly good shower once we're done here."

Later on the roof, Yunan had just finished her story to the others whom were giving her a sympathetic look.

"Wow, I had no idea." Eda said.

"Speaking of love, what about you and Raine?" Yunan asked.

Eda sighed. "They don't remember everything we've done. Not even almost beating Belos to death. I think that witch Terra might have something to do with it. She always has memory erasing tea."

"Have you tried beating their head in?" Eda stared at Yunan with an unimpressed look. "It usually works in cartoons according to Master Marcy."

"I'd say we're not in a cartoon, but I'm afraid that would feel….awkward." Grime said. "And I don't know why."

Then, they heard Kikimora tapping on a mic as she stood next to a grinning Terra and a saddened Raine. "Um, thank you, Bonesborough, for joining us during this year's Coven Day Parade. This year is extra special because the Emperor himself has an announcement to make."

Then, from behind the three, a giant projection of the Emperor appeared. "Thank you, everyone. Together we are perfecting the Coven System as the Titan intended. The Day of Unity will be in exactly one month, when the tile is at it's lowest and the moon obscures the sun. At that time, we will journey to the head of the isles, and there, the worthy shall inherit a utopia free of wild magic."

The crowd began to chatter while everyone on the roof stared at each other with concern. "Free of Wild Magic?" Edric asked.

"How will he do that?" Emira pondered.

"Oooh, that doesn't sound good." Grime said.

"There is one more thing I'd like to share with you." Belos announced. "I've always hidden my face, out of fear. But because of your support, I can finally take off this mask."

Eda blew a raspberry. "So phony. He's just trying to distract us from his crazy utopia talk! Too bad it won't work."

Belos removes his mask, causing the crowd to gasp. "Thank you, Boiling Isles." Everyone cheered while everyone on the roof gasped. "Happy Coven Day, everyone!" Once Belos disappeared, everyone began to cheer wildly.

On the roof, everyone looked scared and afraid for what this meant for everyone and began to take concerned looks at each other while Eda looked terrified.

"What is he talking about?" Gus asked.

"Is he gonna kill you?" Willow asked Eda.

"How much do I need to know?" Yunan asked.

"Do I need to beat a Coven Head to death to get an answer?!" Grime asked.

"Does Lilith have Belos' contact info?" Edric asked.

"Should I beat Darius to death?" Grime asked.

"Do we cause more chaos?" Emira asked.

"Can I beat Darius to death?" Grime asked.

"Am I gonna die?!" Hooty asked.

"Seriously, I want to beat Darius." Grime said.

Eda stared up at the night sky with concern, worry and plea. "Luz, whatever you're doing right now, you better hurry up. Because I don't know if I can do this without you."
