It was a rather nice day, Amity enjoyed days like this. Listening to the water hit the shore, feeling the gentle breeze, hearing the sea gulls give their calls which she couldn't help but to think of "Mine! Mine!"
That was when she noticed her soul gem started to flash.
She sat up, took out her scroll and called the others to inform that she found the next witch.
With Lilith she was at Tombstone, which was on the opposite side of the city, she grabbed King, and took off flying on her staff.
With Luz, she was with Willow and Gus so it wouldn't be too bad.
With Amity she followed her Soul Gem.
"I hope the witch hasn't kissed anyone yet…" she thought.
Not too far away, a young woman was walking towards the bridge in a trance. She had a strange mark on her neck, which resembled steel girders in an X.
She had a Witch's Kiss.
Luz ran as fast as she could, That was when the woman with the witches kiss passed Luz, she saw the mark on the neck.
"Amity…" said Luz, "A woman just walked past me… and she looked like she has a witches kiss."
"Was she in a trance? Because it might be just someone with a neck tattoo." Said Amity on the other end.
"She was in a trance." Said Luz.
"Follow her distracted… make sure that no one notices your following her." Said Amity on the other end, "Then rescue her before she can jump."
"How am I supposed to do that?" asked Luz.
Amity had no response…
"Amity?" asked Luz.
"Use that new spell you got…" responded Amity on the other end.
Luz heard Amity hang up and Luz started following the kissed woman.
Where Amity was she shrugged, knowing that despite Luz's handicap, she knew the jumper would be okay. But still it was still a good idea to get there before it happened.
Back with Luz she followed the woman, thankfully no one noticed she was following the woman.
That was when the got to a point, she climbed over the railing.
Luz ran towards the woman, however the woman let go of the railing. Luz tried to grab the woman arm but it was too late.
"No…" whispered Luz.
That moment the glyph of the new spell glowed, but she didn't notice.
"That's right you're powers aren't suitable for catching jumpers."
That was when she saw the woman somehow levitated up, she noticed Lilith and King now standing beside her, the woman was hanging from Lilith's staff.
The woman was uncoils, so Lilith dropped her back onto the walkway.
"Your spell slowed time down…" said Lilith, "Slowed down enough we stopped her from becoming shark chow."
Luz was trembling.
Amity arrived and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Good Lilith's here." Said Amity, "Lilith let's go find the witch, it's close…"
" I'll catch up" Amity said
They used Lilith's Soul Gem and found the Witch. They entered the labyrinth.
"So you almost let that jumper die…" said Lilith.
"I didn't mean to." Said Luz.
"Of course you didn't mean you… your powers are just useless." Said Lilith.
"What?" asked Liz.
"Now's not the time for this Lilith." Muttered King who of course came with them.
"Of course it's time for this, she needs to know the truth, she knew her glyph's tied into her powers yet she didn't think about the continues of what kind of powers it would give her." Said Lilith, she smirked, King sighed, there was nothing he could say. Just hope that she wouldn't give into what Lilith was saying.
That was when several familiars that were stick figures made of rebar showed up, however Lilith banished most of them.
"Help her!" yelled King.
"Oh right!" said Luz.
She used her plant gylph and tried to fight one off but it couldn't be cut easily.
So Lilith banished it, causing Luz to feel even worse…
"Let's go." Said Lilith.
"Yeah…" whispered Luz.
They continued going through the Labyrinth devoutly they came across the witch, which was a sort of crane robot.
"You don't look so good so let me handle it. Said Lilith.
Lilith put up a shield around Luz and King as she began to fight the witch alone.
King took this chance to tell Luz something.
"You need to clean your Soul Gem!" said King.
"What? But I haven't been using that much magic!" said Luz.
"Look at it." Said Kong.
She removed her hair clip, which housed her Soul gem and she was shocked, it was extremely dark.
"How… how did that happen?" asked Luz.
"It's jamming up your magic." Sighed King.
"Why didn't anyone tell me?" asked Luz.
"You know they tend to forget not everyone has magical knowledge." Said King.
"Yeah…" said Luz, using the potion to clean her Soul Gem and just watch Lilith, who used her staff to kill the witch.
"She's so much better…" thought Luz.
King stared at Luz and Lilith… that was when he came up with a plan… she had to talk to someone, and he knew who that someone had to be.
When the Labyrinth disappeared Lilith picked up the Greif Seed and removed the shield around Luz and King.
"Let go check up on Amity." Said King.
They watched as they saw Amity waving by the woman, who looked extremely, shook up for obvious reasons.
"So the usual?" asked Eda just arriving.
"Doesn't know why she tried to jump and comforting her… yeah." Said Amity.
She looked at Luz…
"I'm sorry…" said Eda, "I tried to get there as fast as I could without causing problems…"
"You knew my powers were useless in this case! Didn't you!" yelled Luz.
"Calm down!" said King, "We don't need to fight…"
"Let's go find the next witch together…" said Lilith.
They fought off 3 more witches that day, however Luz had to clean her Soul Gem after every signal fight even though she didn't put that much effort that day.
When it was time to head home King said something that shocked them all.
"Luz come with me " Said King.
"Why me?" asked Luz.
"I want you to talk to someone." Answered King, "They might be the best person to talk about what happened to today…"
"If you say so." Replied Luz.
King brought Luz to Sabrina's house. Sabrina was surprised when she saw Luz there.
"Salem i mean King…" muttered Sabrina.
"We need your help Sab…" said King.
Sabrina brought Luz to her room.
"You want anything to drink?" asked Sabrina.
"No, I'm fine…" said Luz.
"If you say so." Said Sabrina.
That was when Luz began to cry.
"What's wrong?" asked Sabrina.
"I'm just… so useless…" cried Luz.
"What?" asked Sabrina.
"Luz's first time with a bridge jumper." Explained King.
"Oh…" responded Sabrina.
"I tried to save her… I really did… but… but… my powers are useless!" cried Luz.
"They're only useless in certain thing… saving people from jumping off a bridge is one of them." Explained Sabrina.
This only made Luz cry even more.
"But isn't it true you dealt with witches all on your own?" asked Sabrina.
"I did…" cried Luz, "But Lilith…"
"If Lilith calls you useless don't listen to her… she's really harsh at times…" said Sabrina, "She also has a way of getting under someone's skin… it's better to not listen to her when she's being a bitch… you'll just regret it, besides I'd trust Pluto's word more than her…"
"You know Pluto?" asked Luz.
"She was around before Lilith and the Emperor culled them...and unlike Lilith I do consider her a friend." Said Sabrina.
Luz remembered what Pluto said "Aim to be stronger", she then looked at Sabrina, "So… did you what you do with Pluto what you do now?"
"I did aid her a little before Lilith caused her to leave." Said Sabrina, "But shortly after I found out about magical girls and witches…"
Luz looked at Sabrina.
"I still don't get why I'm considered useless…" said Luz.
"Your magic is unique..." muttered Sabrina.
She clenched her fist…
"I'm sorry…" said Luz.
"It's no big deal." Said Sabrina.
"It's getting late, I should go home." Said Luz.
"Remember, don't listen to Lilith…" said Sabrina.
As Luz and King left and Sabrina gave a heavy sigh.
"Thanks Spellmen." Said King.
"I know…" said Sabrina.
When Luz and King got back to the Owl House, they found Lilith sitting in the living room, Lilith looked up and saw Luz.
" Luz! Oh my god, I'm so sorry " Lilith said " i know i said i changed but what i said i shouldn't have said "
" That's right you shouldn't have " Eda responded walking, what happened next shocked Eda, Luz suddenly hugged Lilith.
" Its ok" Said Luz " My magic is unique and sometimes I'm useless in certain situations "
" It was your time spell that allowed me to save at woman" Lilith replied
" So thats what my new glyph does " Luz said
" You didn't know?" Lilith asked puzzled
" Nope "
Eda, Lilith and King all face palmed, Amity burst into laughter
" Lilith " Luz said, Lilith looked at Luz " Would you help me learn to harness my magic better?" Luz continued, " Eda is your mentor Luz" Lilith replied, " Oh come on Lilly I'm sure she could learn something from you after all Amity did " Eda said.
" I suppose i could attempt it " Lilith said " but Amity has magic naturally, Luz doesn't "
" Yes but Luz draws from nature like the witches of old " Eda replied
" Witches of old..." Lilith though " Oh i know how i can help you Luz"
Luz looked at Lilith " How?" She asked
" Alchemy" Lilith replied, Eda smiled wide " Nice one sis " she said.
