I soon realized that my family needed me... even when they didn't know it.
I would begin helping them all. First with King…
At the Owl House…
King was lured upstairs, unsure what to expect, as he was still having an identity crisis.
What was he?
Who was he?
Where did he really come from?
Why was he alone?
Where is his father?
Why was he left in the tower?
How long was he there?
Where was the rest of his kind?
Did they really love him?
Or did they abandon them?
…Was he the last one of his kind?
He looked at all the stuff that the emperor kept sending and it only brought more questions. The archeologists on the island still couldn't figure out anything about his family or his ancestors. It was painfully frustrating, and it brought awful feelings to his soul. It was too slow and taking far too long for the poor creature. How much longer will King have to go without knowing who he is and where he came from?
King didn't know what to do until he ended up being swallowed by the terrifying Hooty! The demon worm brought King to the upstairs room where he would help him find out who he was… or try.
Through tests and trials, King was given the unsatisfying conclusion that Hooty provided.
"Hooty, all I ever wanted was to find out where I came from, to find my dad! But you know what, who cares? Maybe my dad doesn't care! Maybe he's dead!" King snarled as Hooty realized his mistake!
"No! No! I didn't mean to make you mad!"
"Well, I am mad! Mad at him for not being there and mad at me for thinking he would come! HE! LEFT ME! ALONE!"
King then summoned the power of something from long ago as it spread throughout the Boiling Isles, reaching the emperor!
At the Palace…
He gasped, feeling that power before!
"What was that? Could it be?"
Belos looked outside the window as he was still affected by the strange power. He had seen that power before but only once and he had learned to respect and fear it during his reign.
"Your Highness, we looked into the genetic blueprint of the creature that is a friend to Luzura… and you are not going to believe it." One of the servants informed the troubled emperor.
The ruler of the Boiling Isles then swiped the papers from his hands, then the realization came in floods. If it is true… with everything that is happening… no this was not a coincidence… the Demon Realm, if not all realms connected…. Everything was going to enter another transition…. A new era was coming, and everyone needed to be ready when it came….
Luz, his little girl, his princess, she was chosen for this path…. And it will be she who will lead this next era.
"Double check this, we must be certain that this is what is going to come," Belos ordered the servants.
"Yes sir."
"Tell no one of this, yet. We need to be certain."
"Yes sir. If this is true… then…"
"Yes… then it's finally coming, the next era."
The servant left as Belos decided it would be best to inform his little group and his wife about what was going to happen.
"I guess… happy new year."
Yes, but before that comes, there must come a great catastrophe, such is the way of history.
This will be a struggle.
At the Owl House…
Hooty was sobbing hysterically as he believed he had hurt King yet again.
"Well, at least the cake is good." Tiny Nose offered.
"It was supposed to be a crumble!" Hooty sobbed as he slammed his head on the floor, not knowing Blueberry Parfait was watching him, with pity and a bit of pride.
She was still angry with him, but he really seemed to want to help others.
Oh, I begin to doubt myself. My first attempt to help backfired and ended up hurting King. But I hoped that I could at least help Eda get some sleep…
