At the Party…
The Fanfare began as the people settled for the big moment when Luzura Crescent Noceda-Wittebane would be recognized as a princess of the Isles.
Amity, Gus, Willow, Eda, Hooty, and King with other friends of Luz were front and centered. Luz looked radiant as her princess attire and mask were placed ever so perfectly. Her father was secretly crying under his mask, happy that he and Camilla were there for this moment, wishing Manny would be here as well. But deep down, he knew Manny was watching, wherever he was. This moment was one that will be remembered in all the Demon Realm. For Luz will be coronated and given her crown as she deserved for a princess like her. She was the Heart of the Boiling Isles, strong and radiant as the world was watching her make her way to the throne.
Every step she took…
"This world, this world is about to change." An emotionless voice uttered, startling Luz.
"Wh-who's there?" Luz gasped, turning around to see a woman in a red dress but a hood covering her entire head.
"This world will enter another transition, just as it did for the previous events in history. For whenever Witchcraft emerges, this world changes."
"You know about the worlds-. Are you a witch, too?" Luz asked her, causing her to darkly chuckle.
"Foolish child, enthralled by a place you do not belong or understand. This place will be tainted unless something is done. The other place is not for you." The hooded woman warned.
"Hey, who are you to stay where I belong! One day, I'm going to learn where my family came from! See the world my dad protects!"
"The emperor is a fool, and you a foolish daughter."
Then like a formless wraith, she phased through Luz and stole her book!
"Forget magic as beauty, see it as evil and you may survive." She warned as she was walking out of the cave.
"Hey, give that back!"
Luz then chased after the woman!
At the broken-down house…
What a day, first she was going to reality camp, then a crazy witch woman steals her The Good Witch Azura book, throws it in the trash, only to have it stolen by a little owl.
She chased it to an old house with a strange door with an eye.
This door looked so familiar, and she was drawn to it. Luz opened and entered through.
In another world…
Luz has never been more enthralled and more terrified of a place.
At first, she thought she died and went to… the bad place, especially when the fairy creature tried to eat her skin. But then she remembered seeing things in her father's books, books that her father brings, trying to share the world with her if she could never go there.
This is it.
"The Boiling Isles." She uttered as she spotted the owl again.
The little thief with her book soon made its way to the marketplace, where a woman in red resided. She was riffling over some unique items, she deemed garbage until she found gag glasses.
"Yes, this will make me rich!" She proclaimed with a cheer.
When she presented the TV, Luz showed how it was really used and that is when Eda took an interest in her and when the law is on their tail.
This was the start of Luz's journey with the Owl Lady as her presence would soon be known.
Every choice she made…
The Aftermath in the forest in Bonesborough…
The little demon Adegast tried to scurry away, but Eda managed to catch him.
"Last time I take a referral…" Eda groaned as it whimpered in her hand before she eats him, "Oh wanted some?"
"No thanks," Luz assured.
"I'm good," King added.
Luz then slumped a bit, "Eda, how did you know that the wizard was a fake?"
"Kid, I've heard this line before. You don't get a destiny, you make it." Eda answered.
"Right you are."
The group then turns to Blueberry Parfait, jumping in surprise!
"Will you stop doing that?" Eda growled at the mysterious woman.
"And where would be in the fun in that?" Blue murfed then turns to Luz, "You did well Luz, this was a lesson you needed to learn. Not everything is as it seemed and not everything is good here."
"But I was stuck in that illusion."
"You got out and that shows strength in the mind. Not many have that, and you showed great inner strength. Perhaps one day, you can even surpass your father."
Luz grinned as she hugs the woman.
"Now, how about we return to the Owl House for a nice rest?"
Luz nodded and left as Blue hits Eda in the back of the head.
"Ow hey-!"
"That was for that compensation comment."
Then left.
Every friend she earned…
"Still, I want to make it up to you. I want you to have this." Willow offered as she showed the girl a strange plant, "It-it's called the Mou-Mou Fruit tree, it's a plant that grows the fruit of friendship, the sweetest fruit in the world. It was the first plant I've grown and I want you to have it."
"No, don't punish Luz! It's our fault we did it! She didn't want to, and we talked her into doing it!" Willow boldly shouted as she stood in front, shielding Luz.
"If you want to eat anyone's skin, eat ours!"
"Everyone of HAS, I have brought to you an expert which can verify and identify human objects from the human realm! I present to you, Luz the Human!" Augustus proudly introduced as Luz presented herself, her ears, and all.
"Yep, that's me, Luz the Human!"
"Okay, fess up. Who are you really and why are you here?" Amity questioned the human.
"Huh?"
"Don't act innocent. I found this when you accidentally dropped it."
The picture… Oh crud, she was careless. She needed to fix it quickly before the coven does something drastic.
"Only members of the emperor's army and their family members were allowed this photo. Also, only members of the Elite are allowed doors to the human world. So… Who are you?"
Luz sighed.
She'll tell some of the truth but not all.
"Okay, okay, truth is… I'm half a witch. My mother is human and my father…"
"A member of the Elite in the Emperor's Coven."
"You could say that. They met, had me but… It didn't work out. Afterward, he had to leave but always visited. I wanted nothing more than to learn where I came from on my father's side, to be a witch like him and Azura. I snuck here though Eda's door and… well here I am." Luz explained, leaving out the big details, "I'm supposed to keep it a secret, and the Coven is supposed to protect me. But I promise to tell you the rest, but my dad wants to wait on the right opportunity."
Amity wasn't satisfied but she looked to see Coven Scouts watching. She'll get answers later, she didn't want to lose her hand.
"So… we're cool?" Luz wondered as Amity gave back the picture.
"For now."
"Guys, you saved me."
"Of course, we would!" Jerbo assured her.
"But… I thought you hated a half-witch like me…" Luz uttered with sadness in her voice.
"Bark! Bark!" 'We lied. We lied because-because we know we were out of your league as the princess!'
"You guys know?" Luz gasped.
"Yeah… We just thought a princess like you shouldn't have to settle for peasants and we didn't want to get you into trouble with your dad." Viney admitted.
"We're sorry."
Luz then hugged the group as they hugged her back.
Everything she learned…
Chicken was ready as Luz was getting ready for the spell.
The whip was burning with excitement in his hands as he could hear the creature coming! Time to do his thing! The whip was out and wrapped around the corner as Eda slipped and landed where the spell was!
"I'm sorry, Eda. But this is for your own good!"
Luz created the Light Glyph and activated it to stun the Owl Beast…
She smiled at the spider's kindness and then realized something odd in a snowflake. In the center… a new glyph. Luz drew it out on her paper, and it created a giant ice spear to destroy the cage. She was joyous about her victory! But then remembered that her friends needed her help.
That is when she heard the whisper in her head.
"The beast came by your call alone… you can make it stop…"
"Who said that?" Luz gasped as she looked around to see who said that her head was hurting even more. Milk came to her shoulder as she felt her pain. He tried to comfort her.
"I'm okay. I'm okay."
Wait, she called the Slitherbeast? She could command it. How? Maybe… if she told it to stop, it will stop.
"Hang on, guys, I'm coming…"
It was going for the final kill but them-!
"STOP!"
That order alone rang in Eda's brain and the Slitherbeast halted its attack and turned to Luz, whose eyes glowed blue only for a brief moment.
"It is the Seven Blessings of the Titan, those who are granted powers beyond magic itself. There is only one man who have them and that is Belos, who is the voice and servant of the Titan." Lilith explained then pulled out a notebook to explain, "You see, then your father was plunged into Titan Blood, he was spared a fate other succumbed to, thus the Titan chose him as his Champion and gave him Seven Blessings, the Imperial's Encephalon, Heart of the Unicorn, Alpha's Pack Cry, Seer of Unseen, Dreamer's Wander, Nature's Shepard, and Hands of Star's Diamonds."
Every secret learned…
But soon Eda arrived, and the witch's duel began.
Luz was scared, for Eda's magic was getting worse with every spell but she was capable of facing off against Lilith, even when she tried to threaten her life!
"Face it, Lilith! I am better than you!"
That is when the truth came out!
"IF YOU WERE SO GREAT, THEN WHY WAS IT SO EASY TO CURSE YOU!?"
"No, you are a traitor! You should be the one petrified, not Eda!" Luz snarled as Lilith suddenly stopped.
"I know."
Luz then stopped her tantrum and got off of Lilith.
"I know, I deserve to be where Eda is."
"Why? Why did you do it?"
"Fear."
She then explained her childhood, one she shared with her little sister. They shared everything together, even pain. But then when they were teenagers, their prodigal expertise earned their right to the Mark of Mastery exams. But Lilith soon heard rumors that there might be only one spot left, that only the best could do, even if they both pass the exam. So, she went to the Night Market to enhance her magic but met the monks to weaken Eda. It was supposed to be one day, but during the Mark of Mastery exam, Eda never completed for she transformed and escaped the exam room, chased by the emperor's scouts. Lilith passed but at a terrible cost.
"I tried for years to undo my mistake, I broke the law and destroyed my sister's life. When I heard back from the monks, they said they could help."
"If you brought Eda and me."
"… Luzura, I will face what I have done, you are free to capture me, but let me save Eda. For so long I thought there would be a way without using this option, but it might be the only way to save her." Lilith pleaded.
"And how can I trust you?"
Lilith then gave back Owlbert, who was happy to see Luz.
"Let this be the first step."
"Um… what is that thing on your face?" Eda rudely questioned.
"It is a Biological Magical Entities and Species Identifier Goggles or BMESIG. The latest model I've created so it's 97.5% on accuracy." Belos informed in an explanatory tone, "It will not only give me a closer look but properly analyze everything about your friend here. Kikimora."
"Take notes, already on it, Your Highness." The right hand answered with the scroll ready.
She has done this before.
King felt nervous as Belos approached.
The goggles extended as they looked at King from in front and behind.
"Hmm, a surprising mixture of Mammal, Avian, Reptilian, Amphibious, Vertebrata… hmm… you're a little bit of everything. Even a touch of plant." Belos observed and then looked at King's skull.
"The collagen of the skull seems to have crystalized almost to a Diamond-like structure and… something else… Hmmm."
The goggles then looked at the fur.
"Astonishing… the fur's unique structure acts as an armor for a variety of acidic properties. Have you ever played in the waters of the Boiling Isles?" Belos wondered.
"No way! I would be burned alive!" King answered.
"You wouldn't though. Your skin and fur act as armor against the boiling rain and the waters of the isles, somewhat similar to my nephews but completely different, too. Luzura, is he a biped?"
"Yep," Luz answered as Blue frowned a bit.
"Philip, it never has taken you this long to identify a creature. Is everything okay?" Blue wondered.
"Everything is marvelous. I had never seen anything like King before. His species is something not new… but old, very, very old." Belos analyzed the tail and the spinal structure, "This magic within King… this isn't like anything documented before."
"What?" Blue, Lilith, and Kikimora gasped.
"What does that mean?" Luz wondered, "Is King okay?"
"Your Highness, what that means is that King's species is something beyond our understanding of magic and creatures," Kikimora answered.
"It could mean that King's kind existed before even us. That could explain why we have only seen him." Blue answered as Luz was starting to get it.
Soon Belos made his way to the collar after looking at King's paws.
"What is this?" Belos wondered.
"My collar? I-I've had it since I was a baby." King answered.
"This collar… I don't understand the language of it… but it looks like a royal pendant, somewhat like the few I gave to my children to identify them as members of the Royal Family… You may not have been far off as being a ruler. Not a king, but… perhaps crown prince if I'm looking at this right." Belos informed.
"Really?" King squealed as he wagged his tail.
"Indeed, that room you described could have been a sacred hatchery for a ceremonial celebration of your birth." Belos answered but then glared at a certain part of the pendant, "This magic… the way it's formed and structured… Is this primal magic-?"
SHARK!
Belos freed a mess of curses from his lips as a bolt of magical lightning struck his hand and turned into goop!
"Daddy!" Luz gasped as Blue and Kikimora rushed to his aid!
Belos gritted his teeth in pain as he was trying to solidify his arm again!
"Are you okay? Kikimora, get the Healing Coven, now!" Blue ordered as she was already calling them in.
"I-I'm fine. Should have known that there was a defense mechanism in place, a nasty one too. It almost killed me." Belos chuckled.
"That's not funny." Blue scolded.
"But it is interesting. This magic managed to completely destabilize my arm to its more Elk Beast-like state, somewhat lingering but I could already feel it leaving." Belos analyzed as his arm was slowly reattaching itself.
Luz explained everything about how mixed magic was able to defeat the monster.
"…So, I was thinking that maybe we should try multi-coven and multitrack," Luz suggested.
"Luzura, that is a dangerous idea." Belos informed, "We have never attempted multiple Covens on a single person. The results could be disastrous."
"But how do we know if we don't try? What if multiple tracks are what will make us stronger for the Mark of Mastery?"
"Luzura, to test that theory, someone would have too willingly accepted another sigil and with such a risk, I highly doubt anyone will be." Blue sighted.
But then Bump spoke up.
"I will."
They all turned to the principal.
"What?" Belos uttered.
"I am willing to try. I have witnessed multitrack save this school and these students. If this can move us forward, forward to a better future, then I am willing to try."
Belos looked at Kikimora and Blue, and both nodded.
"Very well, we can test it at the nurse's office and Luz… you still have an appointment to get to."
"So, the doors could take us to more than just two and from the Demon Realm and the Human Realm?" Luz asked him.
"Right, but it must align to the right algorithm for each world. Anything slight can leave you trapped- good morning, Edalyn." Belos answered.
"Why are you in my house?" She questioned as she hated how the emperor comes and goes as he pleases in her house.
"I came to deliver the findings to your strange and intriguing information collected so far," Belos answered as he pointed to King, who was doing his best to read the complex wording of the notes.
"Then I asked Dad about your door repairs and was kind of interested in where it came from," Luz explained.
"Kid, door-carving and magical carving, in general, started with our family." Eda deadpanned.
"Indeed, for generations, we have expanded, explored, and improved as mystical carvers beyond the confines of our limits." Belos proudly spoke of their history, "We pushed the boundaries of palisman, Doors, mystical objects of great power. Even the constructions in the Demon Realm were based on the dedication and hard work of our family, Luzura. Even before I rose as a ruler, within our bloodline, we have shaped the realm."
"Woah…" Luz uttered as her father chuckled.
"One day, when it's time, I will pass on that legacy to you just as I have your cousins." Belos proudly told his daughter.
Luz grinned at him, feeling pride in her family.
"So… Eda's door was the first one?" Luz wondered.
"Yep, made from an ancestor of mine, long ago. She had it with her statue so only a true decedent of her bloodline could take it." Eda answered, "Still surprised that the old man let me keep it, giving I stole it from the family."
"Eda stole the door?" Luz gasped.
"Yes, but… I understood why she did it. Ugh… I still can't believe her…" Belos sighed with frustration as one of the guards gave the emperor some gum, which was a big red flag.
Whenever Belos was too stressed and wanted to smoke (hasn't smoked at all since the war was over and he had his nephews and nieces) he needed some gum.
Suddenly, there was a scream from the room! Belos and the others moved from the kitchen to the living room to see Lilith changing!
"Help… me!" Lilith pleaded as Belos looked puzzled at the sight.
"A new beast? Hmm… A mutation from the splitting of the Owl Beast. Intriguing…" The emperor muttered with intrigue as Eda got her a potion.
"Easy, easy, stress will only make the curse stronger," Eda advised and then gave her some of the elixirs.
After her arm was restored, the talons and feathers are done.
"It seemed that the curse was split, the soul that transferred into Lilith individualized and transformed into a separate entity, mutated into a new breed of Beast." Belos analyzed as the scouts wrote it down, then were handed the chewed gum in a napkin to throw away.
"Oh, it is welcoming to see you all again." She happily greeted them as Luz was certain that she could hear her father chewing even more.
"Such a pleasure."
Anyone could tell that his words were a big fat lie. Belos was already beginning to root a bit.
"What do you want now, Gwendolyn?" Eda groaned with annoyance.
"Edalyn, sweet little Witchlet, don't use my name in such a way. I am your mother after all." She reminded.
"MOTHER!?" Luz and Lilith gasped for different reasons.
"Luzura, this is Gwendolyn Clawthorne, a member of the royal family and extremely distant blood relative, only a drop in her bloodline." Belos introduced, "Gwendolyn, this is my daughter, Luzura."
"We, the Sisters of Knowledge, Yumi, and Umi will pass judgment of entry. Those with intentions most pure of heart and cunning of a kitsune may gain entry to our sanctuary." They declared as Luz stepped forward.
Their eyes scanned Luzura as the energy of a blue aura enveloped her. Then it disappeared.
"Daughter of Belos the Liberator, you walk the path of knowledge as your heart seeks pure intentions. You are allowed access." They decided as the door opened for her.
Luz then walked as she noticed that Gwendolyn's way was blocked.
"You are denied entry, Lady Clawthorne of the Royal Family. You are blinded by deception and denial. Your heart is clouded with desperation and your impulse will be the ruin of others. You are not permitted to pass."
"Gwendolyn…" Luz uttered.
"Don't worry, Dear. I will be waiting outside." She assured her with a chuckle.
Luz frowned, and hesitated but kept going. It felt very wrong, but if Gwen says it's okay and that it would be returned, it should be okay. It was to help Eda. It could help her.
Why can't she shake the feeling something was wrong?
When Luz entered the chambers, her breath was taken away. It was a library fit for the Gods, truly a wonderous and mysterious place filled to the brim with ancient artifacts. She wandered around the pedestals of mysterious items and wonders until she uncovered them.
The Hyperon of The Titan's Eye.
An Orb-Like puzzle box that glowed with radiant energy.
Underneath its name lay an inscription.
'A Titan's Eye watches all and thus the past is stored. For any answer, lies within its gaze. But whether the question should be answered is the key.'
That last bit sounded like a warning.
"So, this thing knows every answer on the isles. No wonder this guy wants it." Luz uttered to herself.
"Thanks to you, our family can heal and now I can help yours. You see… you are not the first human to come here." Gwendolyn informed.
"What?" Luz gasped.
"Yes, there is a thing called Titan's blood, the rarest of rare. One of its powers is the ability the leak through other worlds. Through yours we get so many things; your world has a lot of trash. But humans, humans are quite rare. My great-grandmother once told me that three humans came to our world long ago, two of which are in the royal family bloodline."
"Indeed, I took the name of one of my ancestors after discovering their threads to us." Belos informed, "The diaries of the brothers should still be in the Imperial's Bloodline section of the Library."
"Thanks again for helping me. I really want to know more about my family's history." Luz thanked the girl who blushed a bit.
"Yeah well…! I am curious about learning more about the royal family, your dad especially." Amity stuttered a bit.
"My dad?"
Amity then continued with her thoughts.
"Your dad is a pretty amazing guy, started off as a broken man with nothing but a mask, a cloak on his back, and his Palisman, Blue. He led the witches to victory from the Blood Crusaders and rebuild the isles as they are but…" Amity mentioned, "His life before all that… it's pure blank."
"Oh, that's because my dad lost his memory in a witch's duel," Luz answered as Amity turned her attention to her.
"Witch's duel?"
"Yeah, a long time ago, my dad and uncle stopped a bad witch from killing everyone in a town but their group and their palisman perished. Uncle Caleb saved my dad by giving him the Elk Beast while Caleb's Wife, my aunt, cursed the witch. But the witch, in blind fury, dunked my dad into Eclipse Lake to kill him. From what Blue's told me… he was never the same after that."
"That's awful…"
"It is. But maybe, learning more about our will not only help my mom be less afraid of this world but maybe help my dad remember."
"It sounds like a long shot but maybe we can find something."
"Some of your family's documents were rotting away and to prevent losing such knowledge, we feed the Echo Mouse their information and they project their knowledge. Here is the mouse you seek, your highness."
Luz was given the mouse as it projected a chapter of the Diary Of Philip Wittebane.
Today is a most splendid day indeed as I, Dr. Philip Wittebane will donate my diary before finalizing my quest…
I will donate my diary to the library so my story will not be forgotten, or the story of my brother Caleb Whittebane or my closest friend, Sister Marianne Soulbird…
May 21… I believe, my wonder and awe of this bizarre world still befuddle me as its magic takes my breath away, from what I know before is now widened and truly renewed to what I know now. No mere words can be found for my admiration of this realm and the bonds I cultivated along the way.
Maybe one day, I can show Father Horace and everyone in the village this world, and maybe… just maybe we won't have to live in fear…
And a Mystery she needs to know…
Luz and Hunter gasped to see the girl!
"Hi~" She greeted before she tied them up.
She approached them and then tied them up. The woman looked at the pair.
"So, am I to guess that I am in the presence of the Princess of the Boiling Isles and the Golden Guard himself?" The mystery girl scoffed.
"Yeah, and you would be?" Hunter growled.
"Someone who is getting these wild magic freaks to our true leaders and reclaiming the purification of the lands." She declared as Hunter realized what they were dealing with.
"Blood Crusader. Thought you guys were banished from every island in the Demon Realm. Still sore when my uncle kicked your-?"
"But all of that is going to change, brats. For we're taking our islands and making them pure again." She declared.
"Pure?" Luz questioned.
"Ignore her, Luz. This chick is a pigeon short of a full pie. Their insane cult followed their dead insane leader who insanely believes that insane invaders from long ago were Gods-OW!" Hunter yelped as he felt a jolt from the girl's artificial staff.
"So… to add with this vile palismen that are going to be sacrificed, we'll add you two as tribute."
Luz pouted and spotted the staff, looking just like her father's design but modified and changed in style.
"I see you guys hate my dad but love his inventions," Luz smirked while the girl was focused on piloting.
"Even an imbecile like him can make something useful." She uttered while she was still steering.
"Did you know that artificial staff require constant care and work? You need to make the combination just right or they could short-circuit." Luz babbled as she drew an ice glyph.
"Cute, but I don't see where you are going with this."
"Well, artificial staffs are made with love, work, and years of studies of… GLYPHS!"
The ice glyph activated as she lost her staff, and the cousins laughed. But before she could do anything, the dragons' tussling knocked them out of the sky!
"Ukobach? …and he looks so much like Kikimora… except blue with a beard." Luz muttered as it caught Hunter's attention.
"This is bad. Ukobach was a banished demon from the Boiling Isles, but it looks like he's made a deal with the Crusaders to come back." Hunter sneered.
"What do the Crusaders want with those Palismen?" Luz wondered as Hunter was tense.
"Don't know, but it's all the more reason to get them away from Ukobach.
"This-this is incredible. This type of magic is the earliest form that can be uncovered. I ready about wild magic and the magic of-."
The Scarlet Weaver suddenly stopped and went quiet. Then they learned something they have in common.
"I'm a powerless witch, I came from a long line of them, always turned away and lost… until we were found by the Crusaders, and they gave us a chance and a home. I would never repay them for helping us and I can't ever forgive Belos…"
Hunter and Luz frowned as they knew that didn't sound right. The plant palisman then approached the girl who wanted the palisman away from her.
"Hey, hey! Be nice to the little girl. She's being friendly." Hunter scolded.
"I don't care! These things are made with wild magic! They are dangerous!"
"Okay, one: Wild Magic? Really? Wild Magic is unauthorized and unrestricted magic that needs to be taken into account, which we don't do except for Luz's teachers. Two: Palismen are not dangerous on their own. They are the best friends of witches and demons alike. I would know because I've lived with them all my life. In fact, it was the Palismen that saved my uncle's life and not just Blue alone. No, Palismen that never even met him before." Hunter informed.
"Maybe the Crusaders aren't right about everything," Luz added sweetly.
"Daddy, hi. How's your stomach been holding up?" Luz greeted her father who hugged his child.
"Oh, I'm better. A little bit of medicine and then my morning Sangria without any pesky cardinal palisman trying to pilfer it from me does nicely. Now, I don't have to go through it again until next year." Belos smiled at his child, "Eda told me you were having troubles."
"Well… I don't know what I should do or what I will be."
"Princess, there is nothing wrong with that. For most of my life, I didn't know what I would be, heck most of it changed as I go through my life. Even the Palisman I crafted took years to come to completion."
"Really?"
"Yep, and it was even before I realize MPEB (Mystical Palisman Enchanted-items Bejeweling). No one truly knows where their path goes, but wherever it goes, I know it will lead you to what you are truly meant to be. You don't even have to try to achieve greatness." Belos assured then presented presents, "Because you already are."
Luz opened her gifts to see Palistrum wood and her father's Palisman carving set.
It all seemed that it was all leading up to this moment as her father was waiting for her on the throne while her friends and family watched.
"Kneel before the Heart of the Titan, Dear Child." Belos requested it from his daughter as it was part of the ceremony.
Luz kneeled as Belos revealed an artificial staff he crafted long ago.
"Luzura Crescent Wittebane-Noceda, do you swear on the Heart of the Isles, upon the Titans that Form our World, and to the Crest of the Royal Family that until you draw your last breath you will serve and defend this land for all time?"
"I do."
She then felt the staff gently tap her shoulders.
"By the Life and Fire of the Sun which warms our path… By the Ice and Light of the Moon that guides our way… You are now and forever Princess Luzura, Heart of the Boiling Isles and Child of Two Worlds." Belos declared then placed the tiara on her head, "Long Live Princess Luzura!"
"Long Live Princess Luzura!"
The Fireworks exploded as the people cheered. When the princess was crowned was the signal for the games to begin…
