Greetings from SeekerMeeker.
So, for those who love The Owl series, I am SeekerMeeker, who is normally not into this TV series. However, spoilers in effect (you are warned):
I only dabble into this series, both because it has some interesting elements, and because I am a fan of Gravity Falls, so I see similarities with both.
However, the latest episode "Agony of a Witch" is going to be a game changer in the entire series. For those who are reeling from the plot twist and everything about it, I decide to do this:
This is technically an open-ended story, allowing you readers to take this story and make it your own. Feel free to do whatever you wish with this story. You can even copy almost verbatim.
This story ends with only one chapter, because I am allowing you all to make your own take. This is my interpretation of what I think can happen in the Boiling Isles, and the stories of multiple characters in the aftermath of the episode.
FYI: you are free to do with this story as you wish. If you want to make your story because of this, just reference me like this:
"This story is inspired by SeekerMeeker, used with his free permission."
Something like that is good enough for me.
Agony of a New Revolt
By SeekerMeeker
Dear Diary,
Bienvenidos from me.
It has been 40 days since...losing her. No, seeing her like that now.
I...don't know what to do.
I was alone.
So alone.
But then...I was not.
OK, I think I did not introduce myself. Now that I think about it, diary, do you know who I am?
Luz Noceda
I am Luz Noceda, the only human being apparently on the Boiling Isles, an area full of crazy things and magical phenomena. Being human, I cannot cast spells naturally. Instead, I draw glyphs, which I somehow can discover from the others when they create their spell circles. I am the apprentice of the most powerful witch in this world...who is...well...
Eda Clawthorne
She's alive...but not herself. She had this curse upon her by her own sister, apparently to weaken her. After she sacrificed the last of her magic to save me, she completely turned into the monster. However, all was not lost.
Somehow, we had this crazy idea of rescuing her, even though that was the death for us if we failed. But somehow, an unlikely thing happened, and long story short, we saved her. I...do not want to talk about what exactly happened, except that it was a mixture of both luck and miracles.
But now, she's still that owl-like monster that she had tried to avoid. Fortunately, she has a friend.
King
The friend that I never realized. King is this cute thing with a skull, except way cuter than any teddy bear I've seen. Despite his size and cuteness, he seems a lot more than I realize. Somehow, he's the only one who can even keep Eda on a leash, and she somehow recognizes him.
I don't why, but somehow King knows about Eda's state more than I realize. He somehow has the knowledge of even cursed forms, although even he admits that he's not sure of everything. Somehow, though, King knows how to say the right words to keep Eda's cursed form from going on a rampage. After we saved her, it was King who managed to put her on a leash, and keep her hidden within the boundaries of the house...what remains of our house.
Hooty
Hooty is the controller of the Owl House...or what remained of it. Somehow, the Emperor's Coven decided to add more insult to injury by...burning the house down. Fortunately, we saved Hooty, who was stuck to the door, and we escaped. Now, he's the door-owl to our new hideout, which is a cave that we've turned into a mini-bunker of sort.
Owlbert
We've managed to rescue him, along with Eda (or what's left of her). He was so glad to see us, but also sad to see Eda in her state. He's currently with her, keeping her under control, perhaps because of the residual magic from Eda before she turned.
Willow Park and Gus
Some of my closest friends ever. They came to my aid, despite my pleas. They went with me to the Emperor's castle, knowing full well of the dangers. Somehow, despite being so young, they outsmarted even the best of the wizards and witches at the castle.
I guess that's what true friends do.
Now, Willow is working to improve her own plant magic, while Gus is trying to create a "clone army" of sort. Both are fascinated with some of the human technologies that I've acquired.
Yes, I decided to utilize Eda's magic door-luggage thing, in order to go back to my homeland. However, instead of staying there (as that...monster of her sister), I tried to gather up any artifact that could be of use for us in the Boiling Isles. It was a risky move, but I've collected enough to help us here. And speaking of help...
Amity Blight
I never expected her to even come with me. In fact, if I think about it, she's the main reason why we are even leading this rebellion of ours.
OK diary, I will go on a LONG rant with all the details, so I am going to keep it short:
1) Once I told her what had transpired, something snapped within her. She then whispered to me something about "backstabbing" or something.
2) She went and became a "spy" for the Coven. However, she was really pulling her own "double agent" mission, which I knew that it was happening, but it's hard to describe it. I have never seen Amity this smart.
3) At the last minute, she slapped Lilith. Oh boy, that actually made me feel good (although sad too). However, that slap was more than just to distract her; Amity admitted that it was a flat-out message to her for that. Even she, Amity herself, refuses to treat her own siblings like that. She's right; a true family NEVER does something that Lilith (that monster) did.
-By the way, long story short, Amity's slap somehow stunned Lilith, enough so that we were able to escape. Apparently, Lilith was more hurt by Amity's slap, than the supposedly obvious betrayal. Now that I think about it, the "rebel crushers" (our term for those who are looking for us) are not doing their job well. Perhaps that slap of hers did something to Lilith...I almost pity Lilith for once.
-Oh, and another point: Amity is still at home, but she sneaks out in order to help us. Apparently, she's pulling the strings with her family influence, and it's working. Speaking of her family...
Edric and Emira Blight
Never in a million years, not only Amity, but even her twin siblings are with us! I firmly told them that it's too dangerous, but they love the "fun" and "thrill" of the mission. I told them this is no sport, but a risky mission. They call it the "revolt" against those who have messed with Eda. Oh boy, I am speechless. Like Amity, they are pulling the strings to keep us hidden from the authorities, while contributing to our efforts here.
Principal Bump
The least likely ally. Somehow, he learned about what had transpired, including how Eda transformed. Publicly, he supported the capture of Eda, and his school got a lot of funding from the Coven. However, within the New Owl House, he works secretly to give us the latest information. He even gives us some of the most powerful books on magic ever. Amity, Willow, Gus, and the Blights are all working furiously, so that they can be ready for the "final revolt."
Mr. Bump, thank you so much for believing us.
Diary, I cannot tell you a lot, or what the future will hold.
I mean, I don't have much time. Soon, I will have to risk again to go out. We are "going Robin Hood," in order to gather up enough supplies. Plus, we are gathering up a little bit of support from some remote villages, who are apparently tired of the Coven controlling them. We got only a few, but we're working to see if they are trustworthy.
Hold on, Eda. I am going to heal you. You helped me, so I'll save you back.
Sorry diary, I have to go now.
Peace.
Signed,
Luz
"Luz," Amity spoke, as the door opened.
"Hoot-hoot!" Hooty boomed, causing Amity to frown at him. "Your lover is-ow!"
Amity grabbed Hooty by the neck, then burned him. By now, Amity could turn her hands with fiery claws.
"She's not my lover," she hissed. "I am a girl, so behave."
"Hoot..." Hooty groaned, still twitching from the burn.
"Are you all ready?" Luz asked, getting up and putting her diary away.
"We are," Amity replied. "Make sure to wear your armor."
She nodded, as the door closed again. She then turned around, and opened a locker.
A single tear flowed down from her right eye.
A mysterious suit of armor (or some form of fancy dress) hung from the pole. However, it had bits and pieces that looked more like something from a modern suit of armor; some parts of it even looked like a powered exoskeleton! However, it radiated with glyphs and other magical enchantments, including a cape...of cloth that was made of "Witch's Wool," the same thing that Eda made before she turned.
She put it on, and stared at a mirror nearby.
Her eyes continued to cry. Wiping them, she went towards the door, which opened.
"Hoot-hoot," Hooty cooed, his voice now solemn.
"Thanks," she spoke, before stepping out. She then looked around.
It was still the same hideout location: a cave surrounded by thick, very red trees. The vegetation here felt very different, as if it was "natural" and "unnatural" at the same time. On the nearby trees, some glyphs glowed visibly in various colors, apparently to camouflage and hide the area.
"Luz," a voice spoke, and Luz turned around.
King walked towards her, a leash in hand. Behind, a monstrous figure scampered into view, with a wooden owl on top of her.
"Luz," King said, his face full of concern. "Be safe out there."
"You sound like Eda," Luz said, trying to joke. However, she reached out, petting the monster that was Eda on the head.
It cooed like a kitten.
"Eda," she spoke. "I will find a way to cure you. Eda..."
She sobbed, rubbing her face into the monster's face. It blinked, unaware of what was going on. Owlbert cooed sadly, understanding Luz's gesture.
"Eda," she sobbed. "I am so sorry...Please forgive me...I will save you."
"Luz!" multiple voices spoke in the distance.
"Eda," she spoke, wiping her tears away. "Be strong. Stay safe. I am coming back."
Reluctantly, I moved away, as King waved. Watching him, the monster that was Eda waved back innocently. I looked away, because it was so...sad.
I went out, towards my friends, friends who truly stuck with me to the bitter end. I could not believe...that this was happening.
"We're going to save her," I spoke to them, as I regained composure. "At all cost."
They nodded.
"We're with you," the Blight twins spoke, donning their own "battle gear."
"Friends to the bitter end," Willow spoke, cracking her fists.
"Can't believe we've reached this far," Gus admitted, gulping. "But friends are friends together!"
"Make sure to come back in one piece!" King roared in the distance, with Hooty reaching out his neck to shout with him.
"Hoot-hoot!" he called.
"I have to return back now," Bump spoke. "But I wish you well. The Coven has not suspected me so far, but I am not going to risk it."
"Be safe out there," the group spoke, as Bump went away in his own mode of transportation.
I sighed, and cleared my throat.
They all watched me.
Amity nodded, and I nodded back.
"Let's do this," I said. "LET'S GO!"
I apologize if this story may sound cheesy, but I got a sudden burst of inspiration. I had to do something, so here it is.
For the fans of The Owl House, good luck out there.
Peace.
