And here we go, we have now reached the events of the 1st episode of The Owl House. There Max and Shartok will meet Eda and Luz Noceda.
New Friends and Allies
Having escaped from the castle of Emperor Belos, Max and his new friend, Shartok the one eyed bat made their way through the Boiling Isles. They had just walked back to town, the same one that Max stumbled in. They are currently walking through the market place again.
"So, Max, I have to ask: where do you come from by the way?", asked Shartok
"Well, Shartok. You probably won't believe this, but I actually come from another world." answered Max
"Hmm. I guess that explains why your ears are so different", said Shartok
"Yes. I am actually a human" replied Max. Shartok nods at this. Max then asked, "So what's the name of this town?"
"This is Bonesborough. A lot of demons and creatures reside here. We are currently in the Market district" answered Shartok
"Excuse me?" The duo turn to a humanoid salesman approach them.
"Would like to buy these enchanted teeth?" asked the salesman. He holds up some chattering teeth. Max got a little freaked out by this
"Um. Thank you, sir. But I am not interested" answered Max. He then hurries away
Just as the duo got away from the salesman, they see a commotion at another stand. They see a bunch of monsters crowding up towards a tent bidding on a television. Max instantly recognize the owner of the stand as he almost got caught by her. And to his surprise, he sees a human girl with her. She appears to be Dominican American and appears to be a little younger than him.
"Wow. Looks like you're not the only human that came here." said Shartok
"Yeah. That girl looks kinda familiar." Max looks at the middle aged woman. "And who is that lady?"
"I've seen her before. That's Eda Clawthorne, but most people call her the Owl Lady" answered Shartok. "Everyday, she would set up this 'Human Collectibles' stand to sell different kinds of junk to these customers."
"Interesting", replied Max
"Busted!"
Max and Shartok turned to see a bunch of guards surrounding the Human Collectibles stand. One of them broke a TV. All of the customers fled the scene. Eda hops off a table she was standing on. One of the guards holds a wanted poster of the Eda.
"Eda the Owl Lady, you are wanted for misuse of magic and demonic misdemeanors." said the guard.
"Whoa! Witch criminal!" said the girl
"You are hereby ordered to come with me to the Conformatorium." said the guard
"Would you guys quit following me around? I haven't done squat.", barked Eda
Another guard grabs the girl by her hood making her yell
"And you're coming too for fraternizing with a criminal" said the second guard
"This is not good. We have to help them" said Max
"I don't know. Maybe we should just forget we ever saw this" replied Shartok nervously.
"Well I can't just ignore someone who is need of help" said Max. He then steps up to them "Hey!"
Eda, the girl, and the guards look over to him
"Another human?" asked Eda
The girl gasped, "It can't be"
"Hey, isn't that the human we captured?" asked a guard
"I thought he was back in the castle" said the second guard
"He must've escaped. Let's get him!, cried the third guard
[Cue Haven City Guard Pursuit from Jak II]
The emperor's guards run at him. The girl gasp at this. One of the guards attempts to hit Max with his staff, but the he ducked and did a low kick to sweep on off his feet. Then the other guard came at him, but Max delivered a big punch to the face. Just then his pyro form activates, much to Eda and the girl's surprise.
"Whoa!" said the girl
Max then began to make quick work of the guards with his punches and spin attacks, which is now enhanced by his fire powers. Shartok who was hanging onto Max was amazed. After the guards were defeated, Max then powers down and puts his hands on his knees panting.
[Music ends]
"That was awesome!" said Shartok. "Can you do that again?"
"I don't know if I can", answered Max "Whatever those guys did to me, I don't seem to have any control over it"
"What was that?!"
They duo turn to see Eda and the girl walk up to them
"I gotta say, young man. You really kicked butt out there. Especially, with that fire form of yours", said Eda
"Yeah. And it was epic! "said the girl "Those guards were like 'Let's get em guys'. And you were like, 'Fire on' and then you were like 'Pow'! 'Wham'. Total slam! And.. you were really great"
"Um. Thanks?", said Max in surprise as he stands up
"Anyway, you really saved my life back there" said Eda. "You got a name?"
"It's Max. Max Corven", answered Max
"And I'm Shartok", said Shartok as he flew on Max's shoulder. "I'm with him"
"Whoa! A talking one eyed bat?", said the girl. "And you're blue too."
"Well, what can I say? I'm one of a kind", said Shartok
"Cool. My name is Luz Noceda. It's nice to meet you Max" said the girl now known as Luz
"You too Luz" said Max as he and Luz shake hands
"And I am Eda the Owl Lady", said Eda. "The most powerful witch on the Boiling Isles"
"It's nice to officially meet you", said Max. "Shartok actually told me about you"
"Really" said Eda as she narrowed her eyes at Shartok
"Yep. About everything you do here, Owl Lady" said Shartok
"Say have we met before?" asked Luz
"Um.." Max was about to answer, but Eda interrupts
"We might want to hold off on explanations. I have a feeling more guards might show up." said Eda. "First, I have to gather my things"
Eda uses her magic to gather all of her merchandise into a sack.
"Whoops. Can't forget this." said Eda as she clicks her key which turns the door into a brief case. "Follow me, you three!"
She runs off with Luz and Max, with Shartok still on his shoulder, following her
"Do we trust her?" questioned Shartok
"We don't have a choice. Those guards are already after me." replied Max. "Besides, maybe Eda can help me control my powers"
"This is crazy! If I die here, mom will kill me!" Luz said
"That goes double for me" added Max
"Don't worry. I won't let them hurt any of you. Besides humans are more valuable to me alive than dead." said Eda
"Wait, what?" said Max in confusion
Eda grabs both Luz and Max onto her staff and flew off just as two more guards show up.
"You won't get away with this Owl Lady!" yelled the first guard
"Uh, technically she already did" said the second guard
