In an old building somewhere outside of Bonesborough that used to be an Emperor's Coven outpost, a witch who was a member of the True Magic Coven was speaking to a figure wearing a dim gray cape and a gray stone mask that had green moss on parts of it that resembled hair, eyebrows, and a beard.

"Let me get this straight", the stone-masked witch said, "the force we dispatched to dispose of the human and her allies not only failed to complete their task, but also got apprehended and taken into custody of the Emperor's Coven?"

"No one said anything about Emperor Lilith being there", the other witch said.

"Excuses, excuses", the stone-masked witch said, "they were given a simple task, and they still couldn't carry it out properly."

"Sir, please let us attempt another assassination", the other witch said, "I'm certain we can take care of them this time."

"It won't do any good", the stone-masked witch said, "the human and her allies will be on their guards now."

"But sir", the other witch said, "we..."

"Silence", the stone-masked witch said.

He fired a blast of magic towards the other witch that sent him flying into a wall.

"For now, there are other matters that I have to attend to", the stone-masked witch said, "but soon, the True Magic Coven will rise up and bring about a new age of order and magic on the Boiling Isles."

Meanwhile, Lilith was walking with Luz, Amity, and Hunter towards the Owl House, and when they got there, Hooty noticed Lilith approaching and suddenly became very happy.

"Lulu", Hooty said.

Hooty stretched out and wrapped around Lilith, and she happily hugged him.

"Hello, Hootcifer", Lilith said, "it is good to see you again."

"I've missed you so much", Hooty said, "it's just not the same without you around."

"I know", Lilith said, "I know."

Eda then opened the door and stepped outside.

"What's going on out here", Eda asked.

Then, she noticed her older sister standing with the kids.

"Well, well", Eda said, "look who came here to visit."

"Hello, Edalyn", Lilith said.

"What brings you here", Eda asked.

"Lilith took a break from her duties as the Emperor to join us for dinner", Luz said.

"Did she now", Eda asked.

"Yes", Lilith said, "would that be alright with you?"

"Of course", Eda said, "it's not every night we get to dine with royalty."

"Thanks", Lilith said, "but if you don't mind, I'd prefer it if you thought of me as your sister and not the Emperor."

"Sure, Your Majesty", Eda said, "whatever you say."

Lilith went inside with Eda and the kids, and soon, they were all sitting down at the dinner table and enjoying a meal of roasted newts while talking about recent happenings that had been going on in their lives.

"So", Lilith said, "I hear that King and Kikimora are away on vacation together."

"That's right", Luz said, "they're visiting the beaches on the Titan's right hip."

"King wants to bond with Kikimora more before they tie the knot", Eda said, "I still can't believe those two are supposed to get married."

"Me neither", Lilith said.

"What about you, Aunt Lilith", Amity asked, "what have you been up too?"

"Well", Lilith said, "lately, I've been doing some investigation on an organization known as the True Magic Coven."

"You mean those guys we fought back in the woods", Luz asked.

"That's right", Lilith said, "they first showed up a few weeks ago and have been causing trouble all over the Isles ever since."

"What kind of trouble", Luz asked.

"Mostly attacks on coven officials and making their goals known across the Isles via messages painted on public property", Lilith said, "it's been such a pain for all of us."

"What do you know about them so far", Hunter asked.

"Nothing", Lilith said, "we're trying to find out more into them, but our searches haven't really gotten us anywhere."

"I see", Luz said.

"However, we have noticed that they don't ever seem to use any spells associated with any of the nine main covens", Lilith said, "only standard witch spells."

"Standard spells, huh", Amity said, "that's interesting."

"And we're still not sure what the meaning is behind the 'True Magic' part of the group's name", Lilith said, "hopefully we can get those goons we captured to cough up some information that might help us figure out what we're up against."

"I hope so too", Luz said, "after all that crap we went through with my Dad, I don't think I can take another evil organization threatening the peace of the Boiling Isles."

Everyone continued to talk for a while longer, and eventually, Hunter decided it was time to ask Lilith the question he had been hoping to ask her ever since she came back to the house with her.

"Hey Lilith, can I ask you a question real quick", Hunter asked, "there's something I need your help with."

"Of course", Lilith said, "what can I do for you?"

Hunter told Lilith all about how he wanted to find out who his family was, and Luz and Amity joined him in explaining as well.

"So, you want to find the answers to your past", Lilith said, "is that right?"

"Yes", Hunter said, "yes it is."

"My Dad told lies to Hunter about who his family was for his entire life", Luz said, "he has has a right to know who his family really is."

"I absolutely agree", Lilith said.

"We were hoping you might know a spell or something we could use that might give us a clue to the identity of Hunter's birth family", Amity said.

"Why don't you just use one of those spells Edric and Emira used that helped us learn that you're my daughter", Eda asked.

"Because that's out of the question", Amity said, "those spells were from the fake Belos' rule as Emperor, and as a result, have been banned from being used."

"That is correct", Lilith said, "however, there is one spell that might give you the answers you're looking for."

"There is", Hunter asked.

"That's right", Lilith said, "it's a very old spell, one that was created way back in the savage ages."

"And you think it'll tell us who Hunter's family is", Luz asked.

"It should at least point us in the right direction", Lilith said, "but if his family's anywhere on this Titan corpse, that spell will lead us right to them."

"Sounds great", Hunter said, "when can you show it to us?"

"Come to the castle after school tomorrow and we'll put it to the test", Lilith said.

"Okay, I'll be there", Hunter said.

"So will we", Luz said.

"We're going to help you with this every step of the way, just like we said we would", Amity said.

"Thanks, you guys", Hunter said, "you're both true friends."

"Anything to help you with your quest", Luz said.

Later that night after everyone finished eating dinner and Lilith went back to the castle for the night, Hunter was in his room getting ready to go to sleep, and as he lied down on his bed, he looked out his window at the night sky, with Flapjack hopping over to him and joining him.

"Tomorrow's the big day, Flapjack", Hunter said, "I'm finally going to find out who my family is."
