Finally finished this chapter.
Lincoln: "What's the worst that can happen?" (Sarcastic murmur) Well, this can happen.
Lincoln and Luz were in the principal's office, why?
Luz: (with an Azura doll and a snake) And this is the end.
Luz told the director and also Camila and Rita's mother were summoned to the office.
Camila: The end of what?
Luz: From our report, I think we both did a good job.
Director Ramírez: (pinched her nose) From your report, they are both here.
He pointed to the door window to see a couple of students running through the halls as snakes attacked them.
Lincoln: (turned to Luz) I told you it was a bad idea to leave it in the locker.
Luz: (laughs nervously) Ah yes, so there was the spare snake.
Camila: And what were you two going to do with this? (holds up several firecrackers tied together)
Luz: That was for the closer of the third act (lowers head)
Camila: (approaches Luz) Mija, I love your creativity, but it got out of hand. Do you remember why you were in the principal's office the last three times?
Cut to Luz onstage at an audition for Romeo and Juliet, holding a fork.
Luz: Oh blessed dagger, give me death!
Luz plunges her fork into her torso before ripping her dress, causing several chains of sausages to fall out. Everyone else on stage screams and runs.
Cut to Luz sewing a dove's head onto the body of a squirrel, on a platform labeled "baby griffin" while Lincoln painted some parts.
Luz: (looks at Lincoln) Good job Lincoln. Now for the final anatomically correct touch, spider breath.
[Opens the model's beak. Lots of spiders come out, crawling on her and the table. People scream in terror, throwing objects everywhere.
Lincoln: I told you to use a rubber spider.
Cut to cheerleading tryouts, where a girl does a successful backflip. All the other students clap.
Luz: Do you think that is an impressive trick? (Throws her pom-poms aside) Look at this (Turns around to reveal that she's turned her eyelids inside out) Blip, bloop, bleep!
All the others scream and run.
Lincoln: Wait I don't get how that was a problem.
Rita: And your Lincoln, I understand that he wanted to help Luz, but you don't have to get in trouble just for wanting to help.
Camila: We all love to express yourself, but if you can't learn to separate fantasy from reality, you may have to spend the summer here.
Shows a brochure about the Reality Check Summer Camp. Luz reluctantly takes it.
Lincoln: (reads it) Think under a box, this is very exaggerated.
Luz: Don't worry mom. I won't let you down. (Stands up triumphantly) No more weirdness!
Director Ramírez: Mrs. Noceda, you can go out with your daughter, I have to do something with Mrs. Loud.
Camila: Sure, come on Luz.
Luz looked doubtful since she didn't want to leave Lincoln alone but Lincoln gave her an "okay" look and left the office leaving Rita with Lincoln.
Director Ramírez: I'm sorry, Mrs. Loud, but with all the calls for attention we have decided to expel your Lincoln.
Rita and Lincoln: WHAT?!
Lincoln: But why me!? Luz got into that trouble too!
Principal Ramírez: Mrs. Noceda has an opportunity but you don't, so go get your things from school.
Lincoln: It's because of my ears right, it's because I'm a phenomenon.
The director remained silent, making Lincoln understand that this is the reason, causing him to tear up and run out of the office.
Luz: (sees him run) Lincoln! (Persecutes)
Rita leaves the office and sees Camila.
Rita: (sighs) Can you pass me the brochure.
Camila: Sure (passes it over) It's all good.
Rita: (touches her forehead) I don't know what to do anymore, if it isn't at home that my daughters discriminate against Lincoln, now the school has kicked him out for being different.
Camila: (Touches her shoulder) Everything is going to be fine.
Rita looks at the brochure and had an idea.
After Luz managed to calm Lincoln down, he and his mother went directly to the house, Rita looks at Lincoln who was looking at the window without any emotion.
Rita: Hey everything will be fine after going to camp you can study at home, we'll try to make it work.
Lincoln: I don't understand why they treat me like this (tears began to flow) My sisters, my father, all the children at school and in town, even the teachers.
Rita: That's why he goes to the camp.
Lincoln: Nothing's going to change. Never will.
Rita gave him a sad look and kept driving.
When they got home and after hearing a lot of blame from Lynn Asia Lincoln.
Lincoln went into his room to pack when he finished Lily knocked on his door and Lincoln opens it.
Lilly: how's it going?
Lincoln: Worse in the past.
Lily: Don't worry I won't do anything fun for three weeks until I come so I don't feel like you missed out on the fun.
Lincoln: (laughs a little) Yes it's fine.
Lily: (hugs him) I'm going to miss you.
Lincoln: (Hugs back) Me too.
?: Me too.
Lincoln and Lily yelled at a voice and turned only to see Lucy standing in front of it.
Lincoln: Lucy?!
Lily: We almost had a heart attack!
Lincoln: Wait I don't get why he's being nice to me.
Lucy: Sigh Lincoln is having a fascination with the supernatural, not to mention that his favorite character Edwin from the show Melancholy Vampires also has pointy ears.
Lincoln: Then why do you always insult me?
Lucy: You know how our sisters are, I would torture myself for the rest of my life without being with you, you can tolerate them but I can't.
Lincoln looked at him and began to feel sorry because he realized that Lucy is almost the same as him. Lincoln approaches Lucy and hugs her something that surprises Lucy, the intruder blushes with embarrassment but hugs him back while the two embrace Lily looked at them with a smile.
A few minutes later Lincoln agreed to help Lucy with her poems.
Rita and Lincoln arrived at the Noceda house and when they went down they saw Luz, who is standing in front of her house disappointed.
Lincoln: Hey.
Luz: Hey, how are you?
Lincoln: I'm kind of okay now.
Luz looked at him worried and was about to say something but Camila left the house.
Camila: Hello Rita (greeting before looking at the children) Now, don't worry. Summer camp will only last three months. You'll be so busy doing the math and learning to... appreciate public radio, time will fly by!
Lincoln: Ehh we're barely fourteen years old.
Camila: But don't always be fourteen years old.
Luz: But I don't like any of that. I like editing anime clips to music and reading fantasy books with intricate stories.
Camila: Mija, your fantasy world is holding you back. You have friends? Besides Lincoln? Real, not imaginary or drawn or reptilian?
Luz drops her book, disappointed while Lincoln looks at her sadly.
Luz walks slowly towards the dumpster.
Camila: Summer camp is an opportunity to make friends, but you have to try. Can you do that?
Luz: Yes, mom.
Luz puts her book, The Good Witch Azura, in the trash can.
Camila's phone vibrates in her bag.
Camila: (takes out the phone) Oh, we have to go to work (Kisses Luz's forehead) Your bus will arrive soon. Text me when you get there. Take care of yourself, mija. Good luck! Come on Rita. (Goes on vanzilla)
Rita: (to Lincoln) Whenever it's good and watch that Luz doesn't make enemies or that she does damage (go up to vanzilla)
When the two left Luz gasps and rummages through the container.
Light where is it? Where is it?
A small hoot was heard and the two teenagers looked up to see a small owl, its book sticking out of the bag in its beak. He turns and flies away.
Luz: Little garbage thief! (yelled, chasing him)
Lincoln: Luz, wait! (he yelled before going after her)
The little owl hopped through the woods as the brothers ran after him. Lincoln stopped running as he grabbed Luz by the arm.
Lincoln: (breathing deeply) Luz, wait a minute…..
Lincoln didn't finish speaking when he saw in front of them was an old and abandoned house. Luz saw the little owl running towards the house. She growled and ran after him, escaping from Lincoln's grasp. Lincoln concerned testing his nerves and ran after her.
The front door slams behind them, and the entire interior glows, visible through the windows and holes in the ceiling.
Inside a tent, where a door unfolds into three parts before opening. The owl jumps through it, and a second later, Luz follows with Lincoln right behind her.
Luz: Stop jumping around adorable, you... Huh?
The two teenagers are shocked and look around the store, which is full of old things.
Lincoln: Wow, but what is this place? I don't doubt that we are inside the cabin.
Luz: I know. I thought it had a lot of weird stuff (grabs a creepy looking doll) But this? This is impressive.
¿?: Finally, you're back.
The two teenagers get scared and throw themselves to the ground. Lincoln looks back and walks Luz forward, moving the flap of the tent to one side to reveal the back of a middle-aged woman. She had ivory skin, maroon lips, long wild hair with two shades of gray that was covered by a scarf, and golden eyes.
Woman: Now let's see what we have here.
The little owl perches on top of the woman's cane. She flips it over and it becomes a wooden cane accessory.
Lincoln: (surprised) But what?
Woman: (Pulls out phone from bag) Garbage (Pulls out ring);Garbage (Pulls out shiny gold goblet) Garbage (Gasps) Now, um... (Pulls out a pair of joke glasses with eyes on the springs and stands puts them) This will make me rich.
Lincoln: (whispers to Luz) Luz we have to get out of here fast.
The two were about to turn around nurseries to the woman to get something else.
Woman: (Takes out the book from Luz) And this... Oh, this will be good firewood (Holds the book with a candle)
Luz gasps and runs out of the store.
Lincoln: Luz wait!
Luz: (retrieves her book) Excuse me, I'm sorry, it's mine, thank you.
Luz runs back into the store and heads for the door.
lincoln: come on
Before the two can get through, the door closes like a suitcase and disappears. The two teenagers are surprised and look to the other side to see the woman holding a key with the same eye of the door on it.
Woman: (Takes off her glasses) You're not going anywhere.
The two teenagers freak out and he leaves through the back of the store.
Lincoln and Luz run through hay and skid to a stop mere inches from falling off a cliff.
Clearly no longer on earth, the city before her is made of too many arms and teeth. A dragon flies by and is caught by one of said arms.
To the townsfolk going about their days: a hooded figure holding an ice cream cone that's coming at someone, the legs of what appears to be a giant chicken, a centipede-like thing opening its mouth to let out flying winged creature. The latter two kiss before going their separate ways.
Lincoln: (surprised) Holy mother of God, this place is.
Luz: Oh, no, no, no, no! What's going on? (Screams as a fairy approaches her) Oh hello, little fairy. Are you going to tell me that this is all a fantastic dream?
Fairy: (opens her mouth showing her big teeth) Give me your skin!
Luz and Lincoln yelled before Luz slams the fairy to the ground.
Luz: Where are we? do we die?
Lincoln: (looks around) Is this hell? But I have done good things.
The two nodded as they touched their shoulders, the two turned to see the woman they escaped.
Woman: You want.
He put the teenagers on some stools.
Luz: (hugs her leg) I'm so sorry! I just wanted my book! If you're going to eat my skin (offers his arm and closes his eyes) do it quickly! Just do it now!
Lincoln: Wow Wow Wow wait we can resolve them peacefully.
Woman: Eat them. Why would I eat... some potential customers?
Luz and Lincoln: Hey.
Woman: May I offer you a human foot full of holes? (holds up a green Croc, then sets it aside and picks up a stick of men's deodorant) A green human candy bar? ow ow! How about this black shadow box that reflects only sadness? (Holds up a portable TV for Luz)
Luz: (laughs) That's not all it can do. Here, let me see it.
Luz takes the TV and takes two batteries from a plate labeled "Candy Humans! (????)". She puts in the batteries and presses the power button. A jazz exercise video starts playing with loud music.
Luz: Voila!
Lincoln: Say hello to '80s entertainment.
Several customers and vendors stop at the noise.
Monster 1: Huh?
Monster 2: What is that?
Monster 3: The sound, it's so attractive.
Several monsters are now huddled around the TV.
Monster 1: (holding up greenbacks) I'll pay 40 snails for the scream box!
Monster 2: I'll give you a hundred!
Monster 3: Can I eat the little person inside?
The entire crowd begins to bid.
Middle-aged woman: (Looks at the teens) What did they say your name was?
Luz: I am Luz Luz Noceda.
Lincoln: I'm Lincoln Loud.
Woman: (Taking people's money) Well, Luz and Lincoln, that was pretty smart... for humans.
Lincoln: Wait, you mean you're pretty smart.
Luz: Also that's a bit strange for another human to say.
Woman: Oh dear child, (Takes off scarf to reveal pointy ears) I'm not like you (Climbs on table) I'm Eda, the Owl Lady, the most powerful witch in the Boiling Isles!
Luz: a witch?
Lincoln: (In his mind) He has pointy ears (I touched his ear that was covered by his hood)
Eda: I am a respected, feared-
?: Caught! (breaks the tv)
All the customers run away screaming To see a big bulky man with a spiky mask. Eda jumps off the table.
Guard: (holds up Eda's wanted sign) Eda, the Owl Lady, you are wanted for misuse of magic and demonic misdemeanors.
Luz: (whispers to Lincoln) Wow! criminal witch!
Guard: (grabs Eda's arm) You are hereby ordered to come with me to the Conformatory.
Eda: (frees her arm) Could you stop following me? I have not done squats.
Guard: And you're coming too... (lifts Luz and Lincoln up by the hood)
Luz: Oh!
Lincoln: Hey!
Guard: ...for consorting with a criminal.
Luz: W-what? That's not cool!
Lincoln: Hey, do we hardly know her?
Eda: Oh, okay, okay, you win. Just let me take my stuff.
Eda ducks under the table and grabs her cane, swinging it at the guard. He falls to the ground with a grunt. Eda spins her cane and hits the bottom of the table, sending all of her things flying into the air. Luz and Lincoln gets up off the ground.
Eda: Oops. I can't forget this.
Eda reaches into her hair and pulls out the key, pressing her eye to summon the portal door. He balls his hand into a fist, making the tablecloth wrap around all of his stuff. She sticks her cane through the bulge and starts running.
Eda: Follow me, humans.
The two teenagers ran after her.
Luz: This is Crazy. If we die here, our mother is going to kill us!
Edda: Ha! I won't let them hurt you. Humans like you are much more valuable to me alive than dead.
Lincoln: Wait. He is only helping us for e…..
He couldn't finish as Eda jumps, pulling herself and the two teenagers towards her cane. They take off into the sky when the guard runs into the frame.
Guard: You won't get away with this, Lady Owl! (He looks at his hands) Yes, everything is fine. You did it. You got away with it. He got away with it, everyone! Typical (leaves the place)
Luz crying as she clung to Lincoln's arms as he closed his eyes flying on Eda's cane over the Islands.
Eda: You can open your eyes now, humans.
When the two open their eyes, they are startled to see that he was flying, Lincoln clung on to the stick while Luz clung on Lincoln tighter.
Luz: Flying sticks, crazy monsters, you are a witch!
Lincoln: What is this place?
Eda: These are the Boiling Islands. All the myths that you humans have are due to a bit of our world seeping into yours.
Several winged creatures fly behind them as Eda speaks. A gryphon that looks a lot like the one Luz made at school flies past them and squeals.
Luz: A faucet!
The griffin vomits spiders.
Luz: I knew it! Lincoln owes me a dollar!
Lincoln: That was 3 years ago.
Eda: Yes. Griffins, vampires, giraffes...
Lincoln: Giraffes?
Ed: Oh yeah. We banished those guys. Lots of monsters.
Eda lands the cane and jumps, though her hand is left behind. Luz and Lincoln see it move by itself.
Luz: Whoa! (jumps off the cane)
Lincoln: Oh my gosh!
Eda: Oops (Screws her hand again) That happens sometimes.
When Eda places her arm, she looks at Lincoln and is surprised since she saw him without his hood and sees his ears that are pointed and golden eyes, most importantly, he looks at his hair. After seeing them well he could only say one thing.
Eda: (In her mind) Aidan.
Luz: (Stands up) Well, we've had enough adventure for today. This is clearly not the PG fantasy world I always dreamed of. So can you help me get back home?
Eda came out of her thoughts and put her cane in front of the two teenagers, surprising them.
Eda: Only if you help me first (She laughs, raises her cane and walks away with the bag following her) Ah, now, come on, human.
Lincoln: But we help you get that money in the market. That doesn't count as….. (he stopped talking when he and Luz noticed where Eda was going) Help.
Luz: Wow!
To a tower, at the top of which is an owl with a strange, laughing human face. Zoom out as it flies down to reveal a stained glass window and a weather van in the cabin. the one that Eda, Lincoln and Luz walk.
Lincoln: Awesome.
Luz: (Looking over her shoulder) Aren't you worried that those guards will find us?
Eda: No. My house has a state-of-the-art defense system.
Owl at the front door: Hoot Hoot, what's the password? oh!
Eda: (pokes both eyes) We don't have time for this, Hooty. Let us in.
Hooty: Alright, alright! Caramba! You never want to have fun! Yes! Hoot!
Hooty opens his mouth wide enough to completely cover the door. The three of them pass, although Eda's bag is left outside. Hooty shuts up. python burps
Eda: Welcome to (Snaps fingers) the Owl House...
The candles are lit. A fire starts in the fireplace, a cauldron begins to stir, and a broom begins to sweep the floor. Overhead, a representation of an owl-like beast begins to glow with a loud shriek. The two teenagers look at all this in amazement.
Eda: ...where I hide away from the pressures of modern life. Also the policemen. Mm, also ex-boyfriends (Laughter)
Luz: This place is beautiful! (Puts her book on a coffee table)
Lincoln: Do you live here alone?
Footsteps are heard shaking the house.
Eda: (crossed her arms) Actually, I have a roommate
¿?: (Deep voice) Who dares interfere with King? (normal voice) the king of demons?
It was a small dog-like creature wearing a horned skull. He had a towel around his waist, a bathing cap, and was carrying a rubber duck.
Luz: (gasps) Oh, how cute! (Runs forward and picks King up in a hug) Eda, he's so cute! Who is an average guy? Who is an average guy? Are you? Are you?
King: (Struggles to free himself) No! I don't know who your little one is! Eda, who is this monster?
Lincoln grabbed Luz and pulled her back.
Eda: Oh, this is Luz and Lincoln. They're here to help us with our little...situation.
King: Ouch! Hurrah!
Luz: Wait, wait, wait. I don't like how this "situation" sounds.
Lincoln: Yes, what exactly is this situation about?
Eda: Just... let me explain (Draws a spell circle that darkens and effectively becomes a storybook. Narrating) King was once a powerful demon king, until his Crown of Power was stolen, and turned into... this.
Luz: (hugging King again. ] You mean this little bundle of joy?
Eda: (Narrating) The crown is in the hands of the evil Warden Wrath and locked behind a magical force field that only a human can pass through. A human like you. If you help us get his crown back, we'll send you back to your kingdom. So, what do you say? Also, (grabs King by the face and shakes him gently) Who could say no to this cute little face?
King: No! Please don't cheer her up!
Eda: (drops it) I mean, we're like your only way home.
Lincoln: You have a point.
Luz: So we really don't have a choice, right?
Eda: No. (Picks Luz up and throws her over her shoulder and Lincoln on her arm as she heads for the door) Now, we don't have time to waste.
King: (Picks up his rubber duck) Soon, Mr. Ducky, we will drink the fear of those who mocked us (Follows Eda)
Luz: Where are we going?
Eda: A super fun place.
The four arrived at a kind of prison where thunder sounds.
Lincoln: (looks around) This is not fun at all.
Eda: The Conformatory, a place for those considered unfit for society.
Luz looks at a wanted poster for Eda on the wall they are hiding behind.
Luz: Wow. These guys really are crazy about you.
Eda: Yes. But they never caught us because we are too slippery.
King: Try to catch me when I'm covered in grease. I am a restless little friend. oh! (Falls off Luz's head)
Lincoln: (helps King get up) And how are we going to get there?
King: You and I will sneak up to the top of the tower, where they're holding my crown.
Eda: And I'll make sure the warden is distracted.
Luz: (gasps) Do I need a costume?
Eda: oh...
Luz: I've been waiting to wear this. (Puts on hood, sticks up cat ears) Meow meow.
Lincoln rolled his eyes with a smile and pulled his hood over his head.
King: It's horrible.
Eda: Oh, you'll fit right in.
Eda hits the ground with the tip of her cane, creating a round, shiny platform. She walks away from it.
Eda: Hold on tight.
The platform rises, floating all the way to a window in the tower. He suddenly disappears, forcing Lincoln to grab onto the edge of the windowsill and Luz clung to his back and King to his feet.
Meanwhile, Eda throws down her cane and casually sits on it as it soars.
Eda: See you at the top of the tower.
Lincoln: Wait, you could have taken us with you.
King grunts as he climbs up the two teens and climbs through the window. Also snarling, Lincoln stands up and falls, landing Luz on his face.
King: Ha ha! Cats don't do that.
Lincoln and Luz stand up and she is amazed. The three marvel at the number of prison cells ahead of them, all of them occupied by shadowy beasts of different shapes and sizes, though all their eyes glow with light.
Katya : Hey, cat lady and gang member, how did you get out of your cell? (I ask being in a cell)
The two turn.
Luz: oh, no, no, no. I'm not a cat (He lowers his hood)
Lincoln: (hood down) Also, we're not criminals.
king: still
Katya: Neither do we. The stupid warden likes to lock up people who don't fit in. I write food fanfics falling in love (Pulls out a book of said fanfiction) I like food, I like love... Just let me write about it.
Eye Eater Prisoner: I'm here because I like to eat my own eyes.
He pokes one eye out of his head as he says this, swallowing it. The eye floats back into place.
Tiny Nose : We are small expansion agents! They will never silence us!
Katya: Yes, he is very into conspiracy theories.
Tiny Nose: The world is a simulation! We are nothing more than toys for a higher being!
Luz: (Walking around) Wait. These are not crimes. None of you really did anything wrong.
Lincoln: (realizes something) You're all just a bunch of weirdos. Like me.
Some deaf footsteps attract his attention.
Katya: It's Warden Wrath! Disguise!
Luz and Lincoln exclaimed and run towards an open cell, when they entered Lincoln yanked the door down as he entered.
The footsteps continue until a door opens and a muscular man with a glowing mask and a large beak comes out.
Warden Wrath: I can hear them.
The two Adolescents got scared.
Warden Wrath: (Stomping forward) What are you fools whispering about? (Looks at the wanted poster for Eda that Luz had dropped) Ah. The owl lady.
He picks up the poster and crumples it up, turning his fist into a hammer and smashing it against Luz and Lincoln's cell door.
Warden Wrath: I'll get my hands on him real soon.
Warden Wrath looks into the cell, where Luz, Lincoln, and King are huddled in the corner.
Tiny Nose: Fight the adversary! Let's resist! We will conquer! We will never be afraid of you, you old bastard!
Warden Wrath approaches his cell and opens it. She stares at the door as it opens.
Tiny Nose: Hooray! I'm sweet! (squeaks)
Warden Wrath grabs onto Tiny Nose his fist wraps around his entire body. He holds her up and points to the other two prisoners.
Warden Wrath: Let this be a lesson to all of you. There is no place in society for you if you cannot fit in.
She tightens her grip, causing Tiny Nose to squeal again. Warden Wrath stomps away, crushing the crumpled wanted poster as he leaves. A door slams shut and Luz opens her cell, and the three run to Katya's.
Luz: don't worry I can get you out (pulls the lever, but can't lift it) No! My weak nerd arms!
Katya: Just get out of here while you can, girl. Enjoy the freedom for us (he goes further into his cell)
Luz and Lincoln looked at each other and reluctantly walk away. Following King to a door that said "Contraband". There, Eda caught up with them.
Eda: Hey, I just checked. (Jumps off his cane) The warden is distracted, tormenting a small creature. He won't be coming here anytime soon.
King: My crown! Is near! I can feel its power! (He runs to the door and fiddles with the handle, which is as big as he is.)
Eda: Aw, he gets so cute when he's thirsty for power.
Luz: It's not fair that they're all here. They just want to be themselves.
Lincoln: I don't understand why the person rejects or is racist just to see a different person or have a different appearance from the community?
King growls. The doorknob falls to the floor with a clink. King pushes the door open, laughing, and runs off.
Eda: Come on, before he gets hurt.
King: Ouch!
Lincoln: Very late.
Luz, Lincoln, and Eda follow King inside.
Inside the room, which is empty except for a giant glowing pillar in the center. King rubs his skull before charging into the head pillar, only managing to throw himself back.
Eda: We have some humans, remember?
King: Oh yeah.
Lincoln: (looks at Luz) Ready
Luz takes a breath. She puts a hand against the pillar but nothing happened.
Luz: (confused) Hey, nothing's wrong.
Eda: (confused) How strange it should have happened or that the wall would have been there.
King: (disappointed) Aw, that was all for nothing.
Lincoln walked over to the Pillar and reached out and touched the Pillar.
Suddenly the pillar began to shine blue, surprising not only Lincoln but also Luz and Eda is surprised.
A strange golden mark appeared on the pillar. It looked like an alchemy transmutation circle. His design was of a circle with squares that had four circles between them, and then a few more circles inside the squares with a dot. The four circle between them had strange symbol.
Lincoln grabs Luz's hand and the two get inside the pillar.
Eda: (I look still surprised) Is it possible? But how?
When they got to the other side of the light, the two teenagers opened their eyes to see a mountain of various things in front of him. At the top was something shiny.
The two are about to go up but Lincoln sees something else shiny on the other side.
Lincoln: Luz up, I'll go to the one on the other side.
Luz nods and begins to climb the mountain.
Lincoln goes to the other side and see well what was the other shiny thing.
It was a broadsword, The sword has a golden hilt and the blade was made of a very shiny metal. The sword had an owl face symbol superimposed on the base of the blade and hilt.
Lincoln: (shocked) Wow, awesome.
Voice: Take it
Lincoln: (looks around) Huh?
Voice: Take it
Lincoln: Who said that?
Voice Take it.
Lincoln looks at the sword, I hesitate a bit but grabs the sword.
Lincoln: (looks at him and smiles) It looks good on me.
Lincoln Puts the sword on his back and goes to where Luz is and catches up with her.
It wasn't long before he caught up with Luz and they reached the top together and looked at the crown with big smiles. However, those smiles disappeared when they saw the crown.
Luz: Wait a second.
Lincoln: Is this a...
Lincoln and Luz come out of the pillar and Luz holding a Burger Queen paper crown.
King: My crown! (jumps in place before taking Luz's crown off and placing it on her head) Yes. Yes! I can feel my powers coming back! You there. Nightmare creature (points to a stuffed button-eyed rabbit falling out of a box) I will call you Francois, and you will be a minion in my army of darkness. Ha ha! (picks up the rabbit)
Luz: That crown doesn't give you any power, right?
Eda: Oh no.
Lincoln: Why did we do this then?
Eda: Oh, look at us, Lincoln. King and I don't have much in this world. We only have each other. So if that silly crown is important to him, it's important to me. And besides, we weirdos have to stick together, you know?
Lincoln smiles and Luz blushes.
Eda: Well, we owe you one. Now, let's get out of here before the warden finds us and I lose my mind.
Warden Wrath: (appears from behind Eda) Too late.
Warden Wrath's hand turns into a sword and with one easy motion he decapitates Eda. Lincoln grabs his head and with Lincoln screams.
Eda: (Sticking out her tongue like a bad fake corpse) Ouch! Oh I hate when that happens.
The two scream louder and longer.
Lincoln: Eda! Are you okay?
Eda: yes. This only happens when you get older.
Luz: Really?
Warden Wrath: Finally (Transforms his hand back into a hand) I have you cornered, Eda the Owl Lady (Takes the King's crown)
king: huh?
Warden Wrath approaches Eda and Luz. King follows him, arms raised and reaching for his crown.
Warden Wrath: My guards could never catch you, but I knew if I took your pet's toy, you'd come running (Crumples crown)
King: No! My power!
Lincoln hugs him while glaring at Warden Wrath angrily.
Eda: What do you want with me? I have never broken any of your stupid laws... in front of you.
Warden Wrath: I want you... (Pulls out a bouquet of fflowers) to go out with me.
Eda: What...?
Luz: (Disgusted) What?
Lincoln: What?
Guard 2: Come on, boss!
Warden Wrath: (shoots the guard with his thumbs up) You've always eluded our capture. You've always been the one that got away. I found that attractive.
Luz: I hate everything you're saying right now.
Warden Wrath: Stay out of this!
Warden Wrath tosses the bouquet over her shoulder, turning his now free hand into tentacles to grab Luz and hold her to the ground.
Lincoln: Hey, leave my sister friend!
Lincoln grabs the sword and was ready to attack him but Warder Wrath simply grabs Lincoln by the hands and throws him over the other side, dropping the sword on the other side.
Lincoln grunted as he landed on the ground.
Warden Wrath: So what do you think, Lady Owl? (grabs Eda's head by the hair) The most powerful witch of the Boiling Isles and the feared Warden Wrath. We would be the strongest power couple in history. I mean, it's... it's not like you can say no right now.
Lincoln gets up and looks at Luz, who is struggling to break free of the warden's grasp. he looks at King, who is picked up by one of the guards and is also fighting for freedom and looks at Eda who couldn't even move her head.
Suddenly, Lincoln's hands began to have electrical sparks in his hands and his eyes glowed yellow. The sword rose by itself and flew into Lincoln's hand.
Lincoln: Hey.
Warden Wrath turned to see Lincoln and just as he and Luz and Eda were surprised to see him.
Lincoln: Leave my friends alone!!!
With his sword he launched a Lightning blast towards Warder Wrath's chest sending him towards the wall and loosen Luz and Eda.
The two guards were going directly towards Lincoln but he throws his sword at the two guards and cuts off both their heads, killing them both.
Eda, Luz and King were impressed, but Luz was even more so since she had never seen Lincoln do something like that.
Lincoln's eyes returned to normal and he grabbed Eda's cane and ran to where the three of them were.
Lincoln: We have to go now.
They all ride the cane. Owlbert spreads his wings and hoots.
Luz: Expect... fly? Magical... escapicus!
Warden Wrath growls as he gets up.
Eda: Weapon, magic wand!
The stick is gone. Warden Wrath stands up.
Warden Wrath: Lady Owl, I won't let you run away again!
His arms transform into bundles of tentacles, which he uses to chase the staff.
Them flying past the prison cells, Warden Wrath in pursuit. Luz looks at the lever that keeps Katya's cell locked.
Luz: Eda, Lincoln give me a hand!
Eda places her hand against Luz's and Lincoln places against Eda's. They open the cells of the three prisoners that Luz, Lincoln and King had spoken to earlier. They all seem excited.
They burst through an outer door high up in the center of the Confirmatory, then plummet. Warden Wrath comes out right behind them, jumping in front of the pillar. The staff and Warden Wrath fall to the ground.
Warden Wrath extends one of his tentacles, hitting the back of the staff and throwing Eda, Luz, Lincoln, and King off of it. They roll when they hit the ground, and Warden Wrath stands in front of them, his hand turning back into a sword.
King: Oh my bones!
Eda: (reattaches her head) Luz, Lincoln... (She puts her hand in her hair and takes out the key to the portal door) go back to the human world (She hands the key to Luz, then runs to Warden wrath)
Luz: And you guys?
Lincoln: Otherwise we're going to let him handle this on his own!
King: (Gets up and runs to join Eda) If you think this guy is bad, you should have seen his last boyfriend!
Eda: He's not my boyfriend (grabs King and jumps towards the two teenagers, avoiding Wrath's blade-hands) Let's go! Let's go! (Puts Luz and Lincoln on her cane)
Luz: But But we….
Eda hits the bottom of the cane and launches it into the air. Warden Wrath removes his mask to reveal a face that is mostly a mouth, opening to spit fire. Eda skillfully draws two spell circles, one that catches fire and one that throws it back. Warden Wrath crashes through the wall of the Conformatorium.
Luz groans as Lincoln tries not to fall off his cane.
Lincoln: We can't leave him alone!
Luz: I know but how!
Warden Wrath stands up, brandishing his blade-hands and rushing at Eda again. The three prisoners peek through the hole he left in the wall. Luz and Lincoln see him and he flies over to talk to them.
Luz: Why are you standing there? This is your chance to escape!
Devouring Eye Prisoner: The warden will catch us. He always does.
Katya: We belong here.
Tiny Nose: Doubt is an idea you can never escape.
Prisoners murmuring agreement.
Lincoln: Look, I get it. You do things differently than others, you think they make you look crazy or stupid, but that's what makes you! It's what makes everyone unique in their own way!
Katya: Why are you helping us?
Luz: Because we weirdos have to be united.
Lincoln: And also because we are not different from you. We are different not only how we act but also how we look and that's okay, as long as my heart is in the right place, nothing will stop me!
Lincoln took out his sword and raised it up causing a blinding lightning bolt to fall from above and collide with the sword, causing the sword and his entire body to be recharged with that energy and have sparks of lightning all over his body, surprising everyone.
Lincoln: So what do they say, are they with us?
The three prisoners applaud.
Luz: (looks at lincoln) when you send the man with the plan.
Lincoln: (thinks for a moment and something occurred to him) I have an idea we'll need you to do the third act.
Luz was always able to smile when she heard that.
Eda was thrown to the ground and King was thrown into her arms a second later. Warden Wrath looms over them.
Warden Wrath: No more running away, Lady Owl. Today I capture you once and for all!
King groans and hides his face in Eda's chest.
Luz: Go, go, go!
The prisoners scream as they rush towards Wrath. Luz flies after them.
Eda: Luz?
Eye Eater Prisoner: (While pushing Wrath) I eat my own eyes!
Tiny Nose: (Trips Ira) I think the world is a twiangle!
Katya: (holding down Wrath) And I practice the ancient art of fanfiction!
Tiny Nose joins Katya in holding down Warden Wrath as the Eye-Eating Prisoner grabs her arms and ties them up. He then flips Wrath onto his stomach, so he can see Luz descending on Eda's staff.
Guardian Wrath: You! Who do you think you are?
Luz: (Points to Wrath) Don't underestimate me, Warden Wrath, because I am Luz, the human, warrior of peace. (Wind blows her hair) Now eat this, idiot!
Luz pulls her book report firecracker out of her messenger bag, tossing it into the air before hitting it with Eda's cane. The firecracker lands in Wrath's mouth.
Luz: (yells) Now lincoln!
Lincoln falls from the sky and fires a lightning blast at the Warden Wrath causing it to spit fire causing the firecrackers to go off, sending fireworks into the air. Wander Wrath flees, humiliated, with the fireworks still exploding in his mouth, while the prisoners cheer.
Tiny Nose: (jumping up and down) We are victorious!
Eda, with King on her shoulder, approaches Luz and Lincoln.
Eda: Ha, not bad guys, not bad.
King: That was actually one of his best breakups.
Eda: It's not a breakup. Anyway, let's jump in before more monsters fall for me.
The three of them fly on the staff, fireworks keep going off behind them.
In to the living room of Owl House,
Lincoln: Wow, what a crazy day.
Luz: I know, a world of magic. We had a mission to recover a paper crown, fight against a monster, and it can do magic! (Hugs him with emotion) As you did.
Lincoln: Haha I don't know, I always felt that you were in danger and it activated (look at the sword) perhaps that magic comes from the sword.
Eda: (enters the room) Actually the sword is to help control the magic we focus on, it's not the source of an azarathian's magic
Lincoln: Random what?
Eda: It is what you are more specific you are an azarathian, the azarathian were the first witches that existed before our arrival. Their magic was made up of the four elements Earth, Water, Fire and Lightning. Each azarathian could control one of this element. But they were extinguished by all the understanding and Nadia had seen one again until now (He said pointing to Lincoln)
Lincoln: Wow. So I'm not a human.
Luz: Well that explains your ears.
Eda: (rests her cane against the sofa) Anyway, a deal's a deal. Let's take him home (Snaps fingers)
The key flies out of Luz's bag and falls into Eda's hand. She presses the eye, and the portal door opens in front of the fireplace. Luz and Lincoln walks over, then they look at each other and turns to look at Eda and King. King looks at the ground, visibly sad. Luz searches in her bag.
Luz: Before I go... (Extends Azura's doll's head) I know it's not the same, but... (Takes away Azura's crown) A king shouldn't be without a crown.
King: (Accepts the crown and puts it on his head) This will be enough. You plant! You are now under my command (points to something and exits screen)
Eda: (Takes Azura's book from the table and hands it to Luz) Oh, and don't forget this.
Luz takes it, and the Reality Check Summer Camp flyer on top, and the two of them walk towards the portal. As Lincoln was opening the door, Luz was staring at the brochure before putting it under Azura's book, then looking up at a mirror over the fireplace. Light gasps. She is holding the book, on the cover of which is Azura in the foreground, with an older witch looking at a dog/cat creature in the background. She lowers the book to reveal the mirror showing a very similar image, King and Eda in the same positions as the creature and the older witch, and herself in the foreground between them. She lights up and turns around.
Light: It's okay. I know they lopped off your head and we started some kind of prison riot and Lincoln is an Azarathian, but this was the most fun I've ever had.
Lincoln turned before entering the door and looked at Luz, Eda blinks in surprise like an owl.
Luz: I don't fit in at home. You don't fit in here. If I stay, we couldn't fit in together. (She looks at the Reality Check brochure one last time, then crumples it up) I'm not going back to summer camp.
Eda: (laughs) What is a summer camp? What are we talking about here?
Luz: I want to stay and become a witch. Like you (Holds her book up to Eda) And Azura.
Eda: (Laughing) What? Okay, that's crazy. (He pushes the book of Luz down) Humans can't become witches.
Luz: Maybe it's because they haven't tried. If you teach me to become a witch, I'll do whatever you want.
King: (pulling Eda's dress) Let her stay! (Whispers) She can make us sandwiches.
Eda: (smiles and picks up King) Well, I could use a hand keeping this fool out of the closets. But what about you (points to Lincoln)
Luz turned to Lincoln who was near the door. After all, she was the one who dragged him into this world just to get his book back.
Luz: Lincoln, I completely understand if you want to come back. But it wouldn't be the same if my brother friend by my side.
Lincoln thought about it, he looks at the door that was open and saw the human world. The world where society rejected him, the world where his family included his older sister, his mother, and Lily and Lucy. They rejected everything just for being different. Then he turned where he was, Luz, King and Eda were looking at him.
Lincoln: (Sighs and approaches the three of them) I'll stay with you. I never felt my world as my home. If I am an azarathian then I will learn to control magic and become a warlock.
Eda looked at him and the image changes to a sorry adult who looked just like Lincoln before going back to Lincoln's image.
Eda: (In her mind) It's him, without a doubt, it's him (In reality) It's okay. You will teach him how to be a witch. But you have to work for me before you learn spells. Agreement?
Eda holds out her hand. Lincoln shook her hand, before Luz walked over and joined them all in a crushing hug.
Luz opening the creaky door of a storage room. She unrolls a sleeping bag and, now in her pajamas, throws herself into it, before turning around and pulling a picture of her and her mom out of her messenger bag. He rubs her thumb over the glass before placing the frame right next to her pillow. Her phone vibrates, she grabs it and turns it on. A message from his Mom.
Mom: How was summer camp?
Luz's expression falls and she moves the phone away from her face.
King: (he clears his throat, appears as he holds Francois) Your dream cocoon looks fluffy.
Luz sits up and pats the sleeping bag. King curls up deep beneath her feet and falls asleep. Luz smiles at him before answering to her mom
Me: I think I'm going to like it here.
Her smiling, she puts the phone down, turns to the side and falls asleep.
Lincoln was lying there staring at the ceiling. He never imagined that after getting into trouble at school he would let him know that there was a witch world and that he is a powerful species. Lincoln pulled the phone from him and looked at the message from his mom.
Mom: How was your first day?
Lincoln thinks about it for a moment and writes to him.
Me: I think it will be an interesting few months.
Downstairs in the living room we see Eda sitting on the sofa, thinking that everything, especially Lincoln.
Eda: (she sighed and looks at a photo she had in her hair) There Draven your son is alive. I will not lose it again, not again. But if he is alive that means that Miwa is also alive but where
Outside the Owl House. The giant stained-glass eye above the door blinks.

The sword is inspired Sword of Torunn (Earth-26079)
Well this is all we will not see in the next chapter.
