Dracula's infamous castle had been taken over by a sinister vampire who was a master of the Blood Art Techniques. He had turned to Castle into a maze of living artistry, in which a whole new otherworld existed from beyond. The current wielder of the fabled Vampire Killer, who had yet to truly tap into the power the Enchanted Whip carries, now finds himself enter one of these dimensions, said to be a place were the most mischievous and twisted of dark magic resides. A Nation of Fools, it is said to be, for those who are allured by its 'amusement' never return for its ever-lasting circus. For at the very center, there is a void of life and within that, there is one...who is many...
"And this took place around the time of John Morris, during my family's absence from the land." Luz explained to her friends, Willow and Gus, who were speaking to her through a Crystal Ball.
"Amazing." Willow said. And Gus asked "So, these guys were actually able to cross to different worlds...through paintings?"
"Basically. It's actually a pretty old story from my world. But, since the Blood Art Techniques haven't been practiced in decades, there is no chance of that happen again soon."
"You know, we were actually told that in our minds, our memories are projected as portraits." Willow explains. "It is said that one is able to enter the minds of another and manipulate the thoughts and memories of the hosts."
"I've never heard of anything like that." Luz replied. "My family have only ever experienced going through pocket dimensions in order to face great challenges. In fact, the guy I just told you about, Jonathan Morris, he had to enter my family's whip in order to obtain its true power."
"Enter the whip?" Willow asked. "Is that even possible."
"Oh yeah. See, the whip is able to carry memories of its previous user, the true heirs to my family are the only ones who's memory it shelters. And for that reason, did Jonathan fight the memory of Richter Belmont when in need of the whip's full power."
"Wow. So...can any of us be able to use the whip if we were the fight the memories?" Gus asked enthusiastically. To which Luz simply "Maybe...if you survive."
That last part scared Gus a little as Willow decided to change the subject.
"So, how are things with you and King? Have you forgiven him yet."
Luz gave the 'so-so' gesture as she said "He's be trying to help me with my research and has been the last few nights analyzing the Abyssal we got from the school."
"It's true then?" Willow asked. "The new Devil Forging Teacher really is-"
"A Dark Lord. I want to warn Amity about this, but if I do, I fear she may want to quit the class, which could arouse suspicion. Zobek is not one to be taken kindly. He is smart and conniving, and he might send more of his minions to try and hunt me, or anyone I'm aligned with down. I need to take extra caution if I am to protect everyone."
Seeing how there friend was stressed, Gus and Willow wanted to make up for Luz in some way. And since school was canceled for the day due to an infestation, they believed today to be the perfect day.
"Well, Luz, since you're obviously under a lot of stress, why not take the day off and spend the day with us?"
"I wish I could." Luz said, resting her head on her hand. "But in all honesty, there isn't that much else to do around the Isles. No offense, but what are the chances a place amusement is gonna come out of nowhere?"
"Oh, a carnival's in town today!" Eda yelled out, holding a letter from the mail, leaving Luz dumbfounded.
"I did not see that coming."
"Carnivals bring crowds and crowds bring suckers. This could be the perfect chance to try out my new get-witch-quick scheme." Eda said, brandishing her staff. "Clear your schedule, Luz! 'Cuz we're all going."
Luz looks over to her friends through the Crystal Ball and says "See you guys there?"
"You bet!" Willow says happily with Gus smiling at Luz as they end their call. Getting themselves ready, Luz and Eda were about to go when Luz found herself forced to drag King along with.
"Come on, King!" she said, pulling at his feet while his claws dug into the floor. "You and I both need a break from this kind of stuff."
"But I found something hidden in the armor!" King yelled out. "I know I did!"
"All you've been doing was looking at the same pattern of engraving for 20 minutes! We're going!"
King whined until they all finally headed for the Carnival. But there was someone waiting for them there, someone who holds a vendetta to the Belmonts, as of right now, he held the Carnival's Ring Master by his throat, threatening to crush it as the small, pig-like demon of a Ring Master, Tibbles, who tried act tough against the Night Creature.
"What are you going to do about this." the dark figure said in a dreadful whisper.
"Y-Y-You're just one of Zobek's playthings!" Tibbles forced out of his mouth. "It was your master. who" But then, he felt his wind pipe forcefully closing up, shutting him up
"I'll ask again, what are you going to do about them?"
"Alright, alright! I will handle the Belmont and her friends." Tibbles got out before being dropped to the ground. The dark figure then dropped something beside the pig, appearing to be a spherical cage with a...demonic fetus inside.
"Use it." Was all the dark figure said before vanishing into the shadows. Meanwhile, the gang had just arrived at the carnival and Eda was eying visitors like targets at at gun range.
"Well, here we are, kids." She said. "Look at all that fresh meat."
There was actual meet that was more rotten than fresh, as flies buzzed around some fried chicken.
"Yeah...not exactly fresh." Luz said before a voice can heard from up above.
"Friends! Welcome!" The Ring Master, Tibbles, calls out to them as he appears out of nowhere. "I see you got my postcard."
"You're the one who said that to us?" Eda asked before looking on the back of the flier, which reads: "To my Owl House Pals, From Tibbles," and has a picture of Tibbles dancing when Eda tilts it. She lowers it and Tibbles is doing the same dance."
"Mmm-hmm. I am Tibblet-Tibblie Grimm Hammer III, better known as Tibbles. Used to be a merchant around the Night Market until I got into what I call "Tibbles's Tent of Tiny Terrors!"
He reveals to them a terrarium containing tiny unicorns, a tiny manticore, and a tiny griffin. Luz examines it, getting a glare from the Manticore in captivity. She glares back before backing away. Eda had a suspicious feeling about Tibbles, since those from the Night Market are usually quite the swindlers.
"I don't buy it. What kind of con are you running?"
"No cons here, Owl Lady, only pros." Tibbles says. "In fact, why don't we toast our newfound friendship with this totally innocent bottle of water?" He then pulls a 'totally innocent bottle of water', which is clearly a potion. Eda takes it before tossing it behind herself as it lands on the Oracle Teacher's head and knocks them on their back before he shouts "I'm okay!"
"You'll forgive my if I'm not too trust worthy of other people." Eda said. "Now, if you excuse me." She then takes over another vendor's stand and transforms it to 'Eda's Human Horror House' where she shows a pair of stockings belonging to Luz towards other people.
"You should really lock your closet." King said to Luz, to which she replies "At least she's not selling my equipment. Come on, let's go find Willow and Gus."
"Uh, actually Luz, I'm thinking about going on my own for now. Is that alright?"
"Alright. Just holler for me if you need help." Luz said before the two friends went their separate ways.
"Have a good time, friends!" Tibbles yelled out before saying to himself. "While you can."
With the three separated, Luz went off to find the rest of her friends and stopped by a nearby prize booth. What stood out to her was the heart-shaped friendship bracelets.
"Hmm, I wonder who I can share that with." She asked to herself, but then Prize Vendor gets her attention.
"You want those bracelets? You got play some games and win tickets. Them's the rules."
Luz replied "No problem. I am gonna need some help though."
And that's when help arrived, with Gus and Willow showing up.
"Luz, hey!" They called out to her before they met with a hug.
"Glad to you guys here."
"We all go invitations from Tibbles." Willow said, with she and Gus showing the fliers to Luz.
"Did he give out fliers to everyone?" Luz asked.
"Yeah. At first, it seemed suspicious...but, who cares? This place has got a Scarris Wheel!"
"It's like a Ferris Wheel, but it gives you long-lasting nightmare." Gus explained.
Luz replied "Please. Like there's anything the scare me after what I've experience. Also, I hope you guys don't mind me asking, but can you help win some tickets? I wanna buy those friendship bracelets over there."
"Sure! We can help with that?" Willow said happily while Gus asked "Who are you gonna give the other one too if you get them?"
"That's what I'm trying to figure out."
Real reason why King decided to take off on his own was so that he could snoop around in search of anything that could help Luz with her research. He knew that she deserved a day off, but he had to make up for what he did.
"I never thought I could care some much about someone like this." King said to himself. "...The feeling's disgusting."
And it was then that he hears something off the side and hides himself to see Tibbles speaking to a dark aberration.
"I trust that the Belmont will fall for your trap, pig?" The illusion spoke in a dark tone.
"She is but a child." Tibbles responded. "There is no way for her resist the thrill of amusement. Once she is fully allured into my circus, her life will be ours to take."
King was wide-eyed by this. Tibbles was working for the people after Luz, and this whole Carnival is a trap set just for her! He had to warn her, but the omnipresent twig on the ground snapped, and Tibbles turned to see that he was being spied upon. King took this as his chance to run, while the aberration scowled Tibbles for his arrogance.
"That thing must not get away!" It ordered Tibbles to go after King, is already running around the carnival in search of Luz.
"Got to warn her! Where could she be?!"
"You'll never get the chance to warn the Belmont!" Tibbles walls out, holding the terrarium with the tiny creatures in side. "Not while you're being fed upon by my pets!"
King was terrified to see the pig-demon smash the cage and unleash the beasts that were once small, now growing in size.
Meanwhile, Luz, Gus and Willow had been having a blast. They've played some skee-ball, got their picture taken, even got a quick bite to eat. And there was still so much to do, as Luz could see her two friends were more than enthusiastic to try out everything.
"What's next on the agenda?" Luz asked them both.
"Well there are the bumper carcasses." Gus suggested.
"Or the cauldron spinner." Willow said next.
"Or the triple swing."
"Oh, and that's close to those photo booths that can fit exactly three people."
It amused Luz to see how happy these two were. What was also a plus was that she managed to get enough tickets get those bracelets. "Now, who she give the other one too?" She thought, as she looked at the tickets in hand.
"Still thinking about getting those bracelets?" Willow asked Luz, knocking her out of her train of thought.
"Yeah." Luz replied. "Maybe...maybe I should give one to King. I have been pretty hard on him for a while."
"You're no longer mad about trying to sell your secrets?" Gus asked her.
Clutching the tickets angrily, Luz's right eye twitched as she answered "A little. But, not even he deserves to be hated on me forever."
"You know. That's really mature of you, Luz. We should go find him." Willow said. And with that, they searched for the little guy. But before they could get anywhere, Luz heard something, the sound of playing cards being shuffled in hand. And then came the sound of...laughter.
"You guys hear that?" She asked Gus and Willow.
"What?" Willow asks with she and Gus turning back to Luz.
"It's sounds...sinister."
They didn't not like the sound of that. Knowing Luz, if she sensed that there was something wrong, they should definitely be concerned. And they're concerned when Luz brought out her whip.
"Get down!" She warned them both and they complied quickly, ducking for cover as Luz swung her whip to unexpected adversary. A fat, demonic clown, who had just thrown cards into the air, only for them to float back down as they strike from the whip had burst the demon into confetti. Gus and Willow were bewildered by this as they got back on their feet and stood beside Luz, who was gripping her whip with a serious expression on her face.
"Luz? ...What was that?" Gus asked.
"A bad joke."
The fun was not over, as so suddenly a knife was thrown near them, landing into the post of a stand as the trio turned to see female demonic clowns with blue skin, wearing yellow leotards and wielding knives in their hands, which they mean to hit the children with.
"Coppelias!" Luz said, grabbing hold of her two friends, gesturing at them to run.
"What are they?!" Willow yelled out, to which Luz answered "Demonic Killer Clowns, go!"
They continued run while knives were being thrown at them. Luz even managed to catch one and throw it back at one of the Coppelias before they made a sharp turn in a desperate attempt to hide from those freaks. They took this as a chance to catch their breath, but suddenly...
"I SEE YOU!" called out a demonic voice before Luz suddenly tackled her friends as the sound a rifle going off echoed across the carnival. It was so loud, in fact, Eda could hear it from where she was.
"Huh?" She said, looking around before shrugging. "Eh. Must be my imagination. Now, round as the moon, her ears are, with mood swings as terrifying as night itself. Now, who wants to touch an outdated human reference?" She holds up a fidget spinner and spins it, gathering the attention of bystanders. However, a Guard Clown came and started to ruin her fun.
"Okay, show's over. This witch doesn't have a license."
"I can't do time again!"
"Run!
"Ah, what are you? The fun police?"
"As a matter of fact, I-" But before he could finish speaking, a knife was embedded in the side of his head and fell to the ground, dead. Eda could see Coppelias and Killer Clowns coming her way, instantly recognizing them as demons who serve the night.
"Okay, I see where this is going." Eda said, jumping away from her stand reading her staff...which is missing a palisman. She looked around and saw Owlbert hooting happily and playing Whack-A-Giraffe. "Owlbert! You've had your fun, now it's time to go to work!"
Reluctantly, the Palisman ceased at what it was doing and returned to Eda's staff, where she took a stance against the night creatures. And just for a good measure, she pulled out her brotherhood's combat cross, since she knew the kind of monsters she would be dealing with here.
"You know, I should've expected something like this to happen. It never is a dull day in Hell."
Back to where Luz, Gus and Willow were, they were continuing to dodge sniper fire and knives being thrown at them as it felt like they were running in circles. They needed to get out of the open if they were to survive. And that's when Willow spots the perfect place to hide.
"Quick, in there!" She points to a hall of mirrors as they rush inside. Inside, some of the mirrors were enchanted to alter the appearance of those who walked by, as it showed Luz as a giant, a werewolf, a skeleton, a plant monster, an alien, an anime version of herself, and her silhouette within a cosmic form. Meanwhile, Willow was carefully glancing outside to make sure there weren't any night creatures that followed them in.
"We should be safe in here for now." She said, hoping to find the others in relief. However, Gus was clearly showing signs of exhaustion.
"I was really hoping we wouldn't have to deal with this today."
Luz looked him sadly and said. "I'm sorry, Gus. I feel as if though, I'm mostly responsible for this."
"No, Luz. This is not your fault. You could not have seen this coming." Willow said.
"That's the problem. Wherever I go, it feels as though I am cursed to be pursued by creatures of the night. It's the whole reason why my dad left, why my life's been hell...and why my friends have to suffer for it."
Now Gus and Willow felt really bad. Given the fact that she's already been the Boiling Isle's Most Wanted Criminal, the thought of her having to spend her life fighting against these things would be too much for them to bare. They couldn't even imagine how she's able to deal with it.
"Luz...we're sorry that you have to deal with this." Willow said. "But we are willing to endure this as much as you are. No one has to suffer accidentally for it."
"Yeah." Gus agreed. "And besides, we're all good now. The monsters are out there. We have nothing to worry about."
But, just as he said that, the mirror he was sitting behind...starting to come and reach towards him. Luz instantly took notice of this and threw a knife behind Gus, making the mirror shatter behind him. Gus immediately got back on his feet and moved away, standing behind Willow and Luz, who was now in a defensive stance. The watched as the jagged pieces of glass moved on their own and realigned themselves.
"You just had to say it, didn't you, Gus?"
Coming together and forming a humanoid form, roughly the same size as the kids, the mirror creature's glass formed suddenly smoothed out and phased itself to look like an exact carbon copy of Gus. The original was a little freaked out as his doppelganger looked at him malicious intent. Pretty soon, two other mirror felt from the walls and shattered, reformed themselves in humanoid shapes before taking the form of both Luz and Willow, thought their lifeless eyes glaring with the desire to kill their original selves.
"Uh...what the heck are they?" Gus asked.
"Mirror Creatures." Luz said. "Almost perfect versions of ourselves that have been sent to kill us."
Willow then asked "So does that mean they know our magic?"
"They know how you fight...you better know yourselves pretty well."
And with that, the mirror Gus and Willow began to draw spell circles while the Mirror Luz charged at the original. The doppelgangers brought out monstrous vines that shot out towards the two witches, as well as illusions of swords were sent flying after Gus and Willow.
"What?! I was never able to do that!" He said while dodging the holo-swords.
"Well, give it a try!" Willow said as she dodged in coming vines.
Casting a spell circle, Gus did make the illusions of swords floating in mid-air, but as he sent to his doppelganger, they merely passed through it like thin air. He tried, again and again, only for his enemy to become annoyed and grab Gus by his arm.
"Oh, no."
While Gus was having his lights punched out, Luz was going toe-to-toe with her own mirror image. They would've been equally matched...if it weren't for the fact that she discovered a pattern in the monster's attacks, making it all too predictable. Just as the doppelganger threw a cross at her, Luz swiftly dodged it struck the mirror creature in the face. It froze and then began to crack before completely exploding into jagged pieces of glass. Now Luz turned her attention to the other doppelgangers, who had her friends in the worst of positions. Willow's was having her tied and crushed by vines while Gus was having his ass handed to him, being thrown like a rag doll, unable to get away. Before Luz could do anything to intervene, however, something...wonderous happened. Willow's palms...were glowing orange, making the vines begin to smoke before they caught fire and burned way out of the doppelganger's bondage. Luz was wide-eyed as she saw her friends turn and face the creature, raising both hands, not to draw spell circles, but swung her arms as spheres of energy glowed at her finger tips. The doppelganger was caught off-guard, unable to copy this as it was soon engulfed in flames. With her own mirror image defeated, Willow breathed heavily before falling to the ground, just in time for Luz to support her...
"Willow...that was.."
"SOMEONE, HELP! I'M BEATING MYSELF UP OVER HERE!"
Remembering that Gus was in the same situation, they went to see him trying to run away, only to trip and fall while his doppelganger jumped high in the air, clenching its fist with the intent to smash the boy. Gus closed his eyes and raised his arms over his face, bracing himself for an attack...that never came. Opening his eyes, Gus looked to see that his own hands were glowing light blue...and that his own Doppelganger was impaled on pillars of eyes that had suddenly come out of nowhere. He was too bewildered to react this shattering as Luz and Willow helped him off the ground, and the young Belmont examined them both with shock and interest.
"You two...what you just did.." She began to say.
"I don't understand." Willow said. "How were we able to use magic when casting spell circles?"
Luz answered "I recognize that magic anywhere...from my own world. That was the magic of the speakers."
Willow and Gus were both surprised. They've only ever heard tales of humans who practices elemental magic, and at another lifetime, would they have denied such knowledge. But now, with Luz at their side, they realized how many anything was possible. This moment was unfortunately cut short, when they heard another familiar voice screaming in fear, calling out to Luz...
"AAAAHHHH! LUZ, HELP!"
"King!" She said as she and the other two made their way out of the hall of mirrors. Only to find King being chased by the very beasts Tibbles had in that terrarium. Now this whole thing was starting to make sense to Luz, as she realized how she fallen into the trap of yet another redundant adversary. Wasting no time, she runs to were her little friend is being chased, and without hesitation, turns her attention towards the monsters. Charging at the Manticore, Luz swung over its scorpion tail, soon landing on top of it and sending it down to the top of its head, instantly killing. As for the Griffin, Luz couldn't actually recall when her family fighting one of these things, but she had an idea; jumping onto it's back, she grabbed both of its wings and with all her strength, ripped them from the monsters back, causing it to bleed out as she flapped the wings to boost her into the air before gliding back down. And then was the unicorn, that was honestly afraid of the Belmont, who single handedly defeated two of his comrades. Without much effort, Luz simple struck the horned horse and it burst in flames. Now that that was over and done with, Luz turned to the whimpering King, who was shivering from the horrors he had witnessed.
"King? Are you alright?" She asked, as she held the little demon in her arms.
"I-I-I-I'm sorry, Luz." King said. "I thought I could find more things to help you with your research...It looks like...I got more than what I bargained for."
Luz replied "It's okay, King...I forgive you."
"You...you do?"
"Yeah. You shouldn't have to endanger yourself like this, just to earn my forgiveness." Luz said. "Although everything you've done is most appreciated."
That made King feel better, now that Luz had forgiven him. But it's not gonna stop him from helping him out in anyway he can. That reminds him, as he gasps in realization.
"Luz, I have to tell you! Tibbles is trying to-"
"I might've already figured that out." Luz interrupted, as the Pig demon himself revealed himself, looking very angry.
"You've ruined everything." He growled as Luz and her friends stood by and took a stance against him. "You were supposed by all the traps and monster I set around this damn place!"
"You set this whole place up, just so that you can try and kill me?" Luz asked. "What have I ever done to you?"
"The same as you and lineage have done to everyone, Belmont. Existed!" Now Tibbles was starting to piss Luz off. "The Night Creatures are growing desperate in ways that they can kill you. Soon, everyone on the Isles will want you dead!"
"Not gonna happen."
And it was then that everyone turned to see Eda, walking towards them, covered in cuts and bruises, looking like she just came back from war, with a staff and combat cross in hand.
"I've slaughtered every last night creature in this stupid carnival of yours." She said, pointing her cross to Tibbles. "Now you can either surrender...or join the rest of them."
"Well then...I know feel the need to congratulate your persistence." Tibbles pulling out the spherical cage given to him by the Night Creatures. The moment Luz got a look at it, she recognized the relic instantly as her eyes widened in fear.
"The fetus of Granfaloon." She whispered in horror. "Tibbles, whatever you're thinking..."
"I think its time I reward you impressive and rather stubborn will! Ms. Belmont...Welcome..." The pig demon snarled, as his eyes glowed red. Holding the cage, as the demonic fetus inside coursed with demonic energy, the glow below him suddenly glowed the same way as grotesque tentacles came from out of nowhere, wrapping around and slowly pulling him in. The last thing they all heard from him was his crazed, sinister laughter as the glowing stopped and everything seemed normal...for a second. Soon enough, the ground began to shake, and coming out of the very spot Tibbles disappeared from...was a giant mass of flesh, composed of a massive gathering of innumerable humanoid bodies. It was so big that the gang had to back away a few feet as it rose up and floated in mid air, revealing itself in all its horrifying glory.
"What...in the hell...is that?!" Gus asked, scared out of his mind. Luz gave him his answer.
"...Legion."
The foolish pig had summoned the demon that was many in one, as it began to drop its infinite amount of rotting bodies that limped their way towards their prey. And as this happened, they could've sworn that they still heard Tibbles' mocking voice, saying to them "I want you to suffer, just like I have." Apparently, Legion had fully absorbed the knowledge of that pig, and was now even using his voice to insult them. Wasting no time, Luz slashed her whip against the many mindless corpses Legion had sent her way. However, it did not seem to be enough as they were easily surrounded, and after their exhaustive battles, they could barely hold on for much longer.
"We can't keep fighting these things!" Luz panted "We're gonna have to go for the demon!"
"If these things escape the carnival, the whole Isles could be in danger!" Willow said.
"That's not gonna happen! Willow, Gus! If you can concentrate the speaker magic you did before, you make this fight much easier!"
"What happened before was an accident, Luz!" Gus argued. "I'm not sure we can do it at will!"
"Speaker magic?" Eda questioned, wondering what she missed. "I think I can help out with that. Luz, go for Legion! Break his shell, then attack his core!"
Nodding in agreement, Luz fought her way to hideous mass of flesh while Eda gave Willow and Gus some Speaker Magician 101.
"Alright, kids. Follow my lead!" She poses her fingers in a specific way and Gus and Willow do the same. They follow the movements of her arms and to their surprise, were able to conjure the elements of fire and ice with ease. Never before have they experienced using magic in such a way as this, and to think this came from the human world. Using their powers, they trapped the bodies of Legion within a wall of ice while incinerating them with fire. They had to hold them off, just long enough for Luz to reach the Granfaloon itself. When her view was clear, Luz brought her rising upper clash, just like Richter an used the time she made to slash away at Legion's shell. Tibble's mocking voice returned to taunt her, saying "Ha ha ha! That tickles!" But it was enough break a part of the shell. Unfortunately, that meant meeting one Legions' tentacles, and Luz would've expected it to fire a laser at her, but she wasn't prepared for it grab her and pull her into its mass.
"LUZ!" Her friends cried out of her as the demon seemingly absorbed her. But it was not the end, as Legion stopped pouring bodies and began to shake violently. Pretty soon, from whatever cracks it had from shell, it began to glow blue as suddenly-
"HOLY CROSS!"
The shell exploded from the Belmonts' greatest moves. The three witches could see their friend, floating in mid-air, engulfed in a fiery blue cross of energy. That energy soon dissipates, unfortunately, as the cross vanishes and Luz falls to the ground. She lands on her feet and looks up to see Legion's core exposed, and with Tibbles' now disgusting and disfigured face in front of the core, showing what little of himself that had been preserved in his assimilation.
"We are many. You are one. You will die here."
Though, what little of his personality that had existed was already. Luz could barely pick herself up, already exhausted from so much fighting and power that she had used. And with Legion's core directly above her, she was a sitting duck. Seeing their friend in trouble unlocked the determination with Gus and Willow, who looked at each other with the same ideas in mind.
"You do fire?"
"You do ice!"
Reusing the same techniques Eda had just taught them, they focused their elemental magic on Legion, who couldn't get away from their attacks, forced to endure all of it. Pretty soon, the core was a smoking mess as it fell onto the ground and went 'splat', as the demon was nothing but wet, burnt chunks at this point. Willow and Gus nearly collapsed from exhaustion themselves as they fortunate enough to Eda still with them.
"I think I've had enough of this place for one day. Wouldn't you guys agree?"
They were too tired to respond, so Eda carried them all back to the Owl House. When they recovered, the reflected on what they just experienced today.
"Okay...Not exactly how we planned for today to be like." Willow said. "Sorry, Luz. We were really just trying to help you relax."
"It's cool, guys." Luz responded calmly. "Nothing in my life is ever gonna go with a challenge. I still getting over the fact that you guys can use speaker magic."
"I know, right?" Gus said. "I never felt magic like before. And you say it comes normally for humans on Earth?"
"Only those who were scholars of magic. My ancestor was one of the greatest magicians the world had seen. Fighting by the Belmont of her time."
"Uh, Luz?" King said, getting her attention. "I want...apologize again for nearly getting us all killed back there."
She replied "'I've already forgiven you, King. In fact, I have something for you." She the pulls out the friendship bracelets she got at the carnival. "I thought real hard on who I should give it to. And I figured I'd make up for how I acted against you."
"R-Really? Wow, Luz. That means a lot, but...I shouldn't have it. Gus and Willow deserve them more than I do."
"I thought you might say that, and I prepared for it." It was then, Luz pulled a fragment of the mirror creatures they had fought before. Using her own magic, she casted onto the reflection of the bracelets, having duplicated them and making four bracelets in total. "Now we all can have one."
"Aw, Luz. That's so sweet." Willow said as she and Gus took their respective bracelets as he said "I always wanted to have one these."
"My pleasure, guys."
Eda, who was enjoying this moment, had decided to butt in "You know, moving back to the topic of your magic...I believe there's a lot more than you can learn."
The others were confused at first, but then realized where she was going with this.
Luz then started to ask "You mean...you're willing to teach Gus and Willow how to be..."
"Speaker Magicians? Precisely."
"Oh my gosh." Willow said in shock "Do you know what this means?!"
"We're officially cooler than everyone because we're gonna learn magic that they don't know about?!" Gus said in excitement.
"That's one way of putting it." Luz said with a smirk, as she sees bright things for those two's future, if they are able to master the secrets of Speaker Magic. Eda had the same smirk, happy to set a high example for these kids. Just like how her mentor did for her.
'I'll make you proud, Victor.'
So, yeah. Willow and Gus are gonna become Speaker Magicians. Isn't that neat? I'm gonna try and make up other polls for questions I'd like you guys to answer. Stay tuned.
