Epilogue
"One more prank," Luz moaned, arms covering her face. "You had to set up one final prank before you turned back."
Eda looked at the human resting on her lap, offering her an apologetic smile. "Sorry, witchlet," she moaned. "I just couldn't help myself."
With a grunt, Luz uncovered her face, showing her paint-covered face. The paint was in the Bi's Pride flag's colors. Despite herself, Eda cackled, and that caused more angry grunts to sound out. Try and failing to suppress her grin, Eda admired her work.
The colors of the Lesbian's Pride fag had been painted on Amity's face, and Boscha was wearing Luz's beanie because her hair was gone.
King and Vee probably got the worse of Eda's pranks; King's fur was now a lovely shade of pink. The "Bad Girl" coven sticker that covers the crack on his head was replaced by a heart sticker.
Eda had even figured out a way to turn Vee's shapeshifting against her, and she was stuck with an echo mouse's face and tail.
Then there was Lilith, the former Emperor's Coven head's hair standing on end and was pure white. Camila was the only one spared Owlet Eda's pranking spree.
"Well," Amity piped in, "If you asked me, we should knock you down and spank you again."
"Hey," Eda defended, "The only reason you spanked me was that I was tired from running that ex of mine into the ground."
Amity growled and glared at her aunt with fury. Eda wasn't going to back down, even from her family, and glared back.
"Raven," Lilith said softly, addressing Amity. "You, of all people, should know how useless it is to challenge your aunt at any age."
The tri-track student looked at her mom for a second, then at her aunt. Eda shot her niece a challenging look, and Amity quickly realized it wasn't the best time to challenge her aunt.
"Fine," Amity grunted, pouting as she crossed her arms.
Lilith giggled at her daughter's antics and then addressed the group.
"But, my sister's impulses and our usual brush with danger aside, I must say, you three performed admirably. You would make wonderful mothers someday."
Luz, Amity, and Luz blushed from the praise as Camila and Eda nodded their agreement.
"And despite the dangers, I finally see the appeal of rejuvenation," Lilith added.
"Si," Camila agreed. "It was fun to be a kid again. I wouldn't mind doing again in a few months."
"Yeah," Eda said, throwing a mischievous grin around. "Maybe next time we should get "knock-down" to the kids' toddler age and really cut loose."
Luz, Amity, and Vee exchanged looks. They weren't against the idea but had mixed feelings about having their mothers "knocked-down" to toddlers. Plus, they didn't know if they could handle Toddler Eda.
Thankfully, a titan decided to intervene before things got awkward.
"Where's King's praise?" the young titan asked playfully.
"Sorry, buddy," Luz said, "But you did in trying to help Hunter to catch Odalia."
The young titan poofed out his chest in pride at being praised, and this caused Luz to giggle at the cute scene.
"But where were you?" Vee asked, her voice slightly high-pitched. "I didn't see you with Hunter and the others."
"Oh," The Owl Familia saw their youngest member deflate, and he began fidgeting with his claws. "I thought Skara could use the company after what happened."
No one saw Boscha lowered her head in shame and covered her eyes with her beanie.
"And…don't like being in the human realm without my family," King admitted shamefully, "You know, because off…that."
"Aww," Luz said, got down on the floor, and opened her arms. "Came here, buddy!"
King wasted no time and jumped into his big sister's waiting arms. It wasn't long before Amity and Vee joined their family members and hugged King.
"You have nothing to be ashamed of about King," Luz said reassuringly. "What that jerkweed nearly did would scare anyone."
"Yeah," Eda added, grinning, "But once his family gets done with him, that jerkweed would be singing a different tune for a long time."
"Really?" King asked, looking at his mother hopefully.
Eda smiled warmly and nodded. King was happy with this news, and his tail began to wiggle. Luz took that as her cue and hugged her little brother again.
Eda, Camila, and Lilith smiled as they watched Vee and Amity join the hug, glad this latest adventure closed on such a high note.

In LA, California, Mister X walked into a Thai restaurant. The girl was about to greet the customer but gasped when she realized who this person was.
"Anne! Just the girl was looking for," Mister X said happily, "Do I have some news that will blow your socks off!"

And with this, we put a pin in another story. But don't worry, the incident with Jacob and King will be explained in the Daily Live story, as will the story with Amity spanking Eda.
But now for a real talk; I'm on the fence about something and would like some input from my readers; when the final story in my Owl House Series's finished, would you like to see my take on Anne and her friends returning to their second home? Also, my Amphibia story is up from semi-adaptation at the moment. So if anyone would like to take it, let me know, and I will give them some notes.
Now, it is with a heavy heart that I say this; Ghoul Break: the Familia's Final Outing will be the final story in my Noceda-Clawthorne see. I hope to join us when it drops soon.
