She was weightless as the wind gently tickled her face. She let out a giggle at the sensation. Her eyes suddenly snapped open as she fell… no flew, flew! She was flying, flying high though the skies of…
She gasped "The Demon Realm!"
She was home, finally home. She couldn't see the Boiling Isles, or Owlbert, Muninn, Eda, or Tia Lily. For that matter did her friends make it back with her or would she need to make a portal to them. The best part was she could ask her little brother for his help. Might have to bribe with cupcakes and mewtube videos. She couldn't help laughing and feeling giddy. Her brother mami's going to absolutely love him…
Wait, wasn't he with someone… not bad, necessarily, just dangerous… she just couldn't place who though. Maybe should head to isles and find out, and they are… she spun around hoping to see something familiar.
And there just over the horizon was the skull of the isles, she sighed in relief and smiled to herself as she raced off to her home. She was going to see her family again.
The skull rose out of the great boiling sea as she approached, growing bigger and bigger. And it continued to rise right up and out of the ocean, which caused her to stop and gape. "Wow, King! You must have hit that growth spurt while I was away." She began waving to her big little brother, "wonder if we can use Tibble's shrink potion, so we visit Mami and Vee. Because I got to say they might freak at the size of the king of demons." She said with a smirk.
Heaving a giant sigh, the behemoth turned, lifting one of his paws for her to stand on. "I am truly sad to hear that." As he lifted his second one to cover her.
"Wait, what?" She asked and for a second she thought she heard an echo.
She was yanked down on to his paw as the magic that kept her a float was gutted out. "By this Unbreakable Oath," King intoned. "I seal thee," it felt as if chains of pure ice bound her. "When the time is right, one of my blood shall set you free." And like that the door on the dark cell slammed shut.
"With this spell weaved, your soul I have cleaved," she felt as if something irreplaceable had just been ripped out of her. But she was whole, only she wasn't and the pain made her want to cry.
As one paw gently cradled her the other held an elongated spherical shaped object that looked kind of like an egg wrapped in chains and emitting an orange glow. From it she could hear screaming and cursing. As King held the egg a single tear fell from his ear to impact the cage, from there two halves raced to the front and the back. They took on a mirror finish with one bearing a sun motif and the other a moon. Between the two mirrors a portal opened and consumed the egg.
With his work finished, King? turned his gaze on her. Not knowing what was happening and still in pain from being ripped asunder, she tried to hold back her tears. "My apologies, little Light, for what I have done, and what I am about to do." Even as his voice dripped with foreboding there was still a deep cutting sadness. Like a father who had to discipline his child. "Take care of your brothers, and tell them I am sorry and I will always love them." And with a mighty breath he blew her away like a wish on a dandelion.
They laughed and danced as they sang, "finally going to be free, finally going to be free."
She found herself on a very familiar island, not her home, but familiar. In front of a large crowd who were celebrating with hollers and cheers stood King but not King, wearing a ceremonial robe. As the lead trapper lifted his blade, she screamed. The shadow that was dancing and laughing, looked not realizing what was happening until the blade plummeted into the young titan's back, screamed, "Nonononono." As he raced to the head of the party. But when the first drops touched the mirror with the sun motif there was a deafening explosion and he was hurled back into his prison.
"NO! No, no, no," they cried as they curled into a ball. "The titan was supposed to let me out, I was going to be free. I was… I was…" they cried and screamed.
Luz woke up having fallen asleep at the kitchen table. A look of horror on her face, "I'm, I'm, I'm…" she broke down crying.
"It's all my fault."
A.N. This has been a thought that's been in my head for a while. It started as what if the seal on the Collector was what was preventing Luz from using glyphs in the human realm, then became what if Luz was connected with the Collector. But, as her father was immediately scrapped for a few reasons even though we still haven't seen any pictures of him(don't think we have). Well the show likes to reuse stuff hmm… maybe she is to the Collector as the raven beast is to the owl beast. How else do you make an ageless being grow up but put part of it's soul into a mortal vessel.
