Sorry for the last chapter being a mess, i only realized that today. has been messing up the chapters recently, so if this one also looks weird, do tell me.

_-_-_

"Wow, setting up camp is a lot easier when you don't have to do anything" said Edric with a smile as he watched Odwin's oracle spirits and Amity's abominations set up the whole camp

"Why did we even bring you two here?" Asked Amity in disappointment as she commanded her abominations

"Target practice, i guess." Replied Odwin calmly as his spirits worked without him ordering them around. "It's not everyday that you get to practice on a moving target"

Minerva chirped in agreement as she sat on Odwin's shoulder.

"Yup, our illusions are perfect for your training" said Emira cheerfully as she ruffled Amity's hair, surprising her which caused her to mess up a part of the camp "isn't that right, baby sister?"

"Yup, illusions" grumbled Amity passive aggressively as she stared at the partially ruined camp with a deep frown

"I'll fix that" said Edric before using magic to fix the damage and finishing the work on the camp

With the camp finished, the four siblings gathered in a circle

"Okay, with that done, let's begin" said Emira with a mischievous smile as she drew a magic circle, making some wooden dummy illusions appear "me and Ed will have these dummies run around and you can fire at them. Odwin will make sure you don't accidentally set us on fire."

Amity took a deep breath and nodded as she pulled out her training wand. Odwin drew a magic circle, creating a spirit that looked similar to a baseball catcher with the glove and all. With everything ready, the four siblings bega-

Minerva chirped loudly, demanding the four Blights for a role of her own.

"Uhm...you can be...look out?" Said Emira, her voice filled with uncertainty, in hopes that Minerva just accepts it

"Yeah, who knows what kind of beasts may sneak up on us?" Added Edric cheerfully

Minerva, who was still dissatisfied, accepted her role without much fuss.

"Okay, let's start" said Amity in a serious tone as she readied her training wand, prompting Ed and Em to begin moving the dummy illusions and Odwin to have his catcher spirit catch any strat fireballs

And oh it needed to catch some fireballs.

_-_-_

"Sorry, whoever is over there!" Yelled Amity, apologizing for one of her stray fireballs that could've hit someone other than them who was currently behind some ruins.

"Hmm, perhaps we should slow the dummies down a little" said Edric with a hand on his chin

"You think?!" Yelled Amity angrily as she glared at the older twins

Odwin, who wasn't listening to his siblings' conversation and was more focused on the two newcomers, suddenly yelled "she means disappear as in this is an embarrassing situation, owl lady"

"Oh" said Eda, who was hiding behind a rock next to Luz after Amity nearly set them on fire before getting out from behind the rock and facing Odwin "thanks for that, strange kid"

Odwin couldn't help but giggle at Luz's reaction behind the rock; reading minds truly was his favorite magic.

"Wait! It's Luz?" Asked Emira curiously as she leaned towards Od

"She's here?" Added Edric as he mimicked Emira before turning to Luz's location and yelling "hi, Luz!"

"Hey, Luz!" Followed Emira

"Luuuz!" Added Amity

Even the scrying eagle that was Minerva flew back unto Odwin's shoulder and chirped as if calling for Luz (completely out of boredom).

"Hey, guys!" Replied Luz with an awkward smile, finally getting out from behind the rock. She, however, didn't notice Amity approaching her.

"Soooo, should we go in?" Asked Emira with a mischievous smirk

"Ooh ooh! I'm in!" Exclaimed Edric immediately in excitement before dragging Odwin with him as he and Emira followed Amity "let's go!"

"Wait! I haven't said any-" Odwin's cries went unheard as his older siblings dragged him away

"-I'm trying to beat Ed and Em's highest score on the exam" said Amity in an pessimistic tone

"Aww, Mittens, that's impossible" said Emira with a smile as she sprung up from behind Amity, surprising her.

"She still needs to use a training wand to learn new spells" Edric told Luz with a smirk

"C'mon, give her a break. I'm sure she can handle it." Said Odwin with crossed arms

"That's easy for you to say, Mr higher than the max score" said Emira with a frown

"We have lives, little bro" said Edric, patting Odwin on the head

Odwin was completely unamused; he scowled as Ed and Em asked about what Luz was working on.

"Is that, like, special magic?" Asked Emira in confusion as she stared at the scene of a 40 or so old witch shove a basket of snowballs in her mouth before swallowing all of them at once

"Let's go." Said Amity trying not to look at the sight as she walked away "the owl lady doesn't want us to see any of her 'powerful' magic"

"See ya around, human" Said Emira with a smile as she stopped Edric from mimicking Eda "and good luck with your training"

"A tip for the future, human" said Odwin in a bright tone as he walked away "magic is like a language. You don't wake up one day able to read and write and the first step is always to listen."

"Yup, i know that. Totally understand it. I listen all the time, everyday-" Luz didn't understand anything at all and Odwin knew it

"Well, okay." Odwin shrugged nonchalantly "hope you do well"

And with that, he went back to his siblings.

_-_-_

"Woah! You know cryptic wise old man advice sentences?" Asked Edric excitedly and before Odwin could refute anything he continued "you NEED to teach me some of those"

Odwin was about to refuse before he saw the puppy eyes look that Edric was giving him. Odwin sighed and quickly surrendered.

"Yes! I can finally convince people that I'm secretly super wise"

"Yeah, that's not gonna work." Commented Emira calmly

Amity rolled her eyes as she attempted to hide a small smile and spoke "okay, that's enough joking around; let's start again. This time, i think i can do it without the wand"

"Well, let's start then" said Emira with a smile, prompting her siblings to get into their respective roles

They continued training for about as long as you can guess before they got distracted...again.

This time, it was Edric wanting a one eye bat as a pet. Naturally, his siblings didn't allow this.

"Ed, give me the bat" demanded Emira firmly

"Nooo! If we're not gonna eat it, i wanna keep it as a pet!" Said Edric as he ran away with the bat in hand

"Get back here before that thing bites you!" Ordered Emira as she and the rest of her siblings chased Edric

"Edric! Trust me, as a pet owner i can safely say that you don't have the ability to take care of that thing!" Said Odwin angrily as he chased Edric

"Odwin's right! It'll be much happier here in it's home." Added Amity causing Edric to slow down.

Edric soon stopped and turned around, giving his family a pleading look. Emira sighed and approached Ed.

"No, Ed, we can't keep it. It'd be better if you let it back into it's home"

Edric whined for a few more seconds before nodding. He turned around and removed his grip on the one eyed bat.

The one eyed bat looked at his silently for a few seconds "go. Live your life to the fullest, little bat." Said Edric

The bat soon began flying away. The blights watched together as the bat flew...

Before Minerva swooped in and instantly killed it by snapping and crushing it's neck using her tail.

The crunch sound caused Edric to stare jaw dropped at Minerva who was currently swallowing the bat whole. Ed, Od and Am all shared awkward looks as they saw the same scene.

"I mean, in the end, one of us did eat it" said Odwin trying to lighten the mood

No one said anything until Edric cried out "noooooo!" To the sky as he went on his knees

RWAAAA*

"Am i going crazy or is nature responding to my cries?" Asked Edric in confusion from the roar

"No, someone probably angered a beast or something" said Odwin calmly

"Wait, isn't that where our camp is?" Asked Amity in realization

A moment of silence passed before the four ran back to their camp in a hurry and there they found Luz and the owl lady.

_-_-_

"Luz!" "What did we miss?" *chirp*

"And what are you doing with my wand?!" Said Amity angrily as she took her wand and instructions book from Luz

"Mittens, we've got bigger problems." Said Emira as she put a hand on Amity's should while not taking her eyes off the slitherbeast that has Eda captured

"Why can't we just have a week without any disturbances?" Said Odwin tiredly

"Then it wouldn't be as fun" said Edric with a smile as he and Emira confronted the beast

"Aww, he's so cute!" Said Emira sarcastically eith a smirk "can we keep him?"

"It's no bat, but we can try" replied Edric confidently as he and Emira drew theit magic circles to make two magic lassos to tie the slitherbeast down.

The beast struggled as Ed and Em kept it down. Eda urged them to finish the beast and Amity walked forwards to do the task.

Odwin knew what was about to transpire and he knew he shouldn't stop it. It would be the start of a ship that he didn't want to see sink at the moment.

So he did nothing. Even when the beast held him, Ed, Em and Eda,

He did nothing.

"Odwin, do you know any spells to free us?"asked Edric as he, Od, Em and Eda were all trapped in some sort of goo

"No, i don't think so" lied Odwin in hopes that the they would put down the problem as Minerva sat atop his head "and Minerva, get off. This is already uncomfortable as is"

Minerva chirped and didn't move an inch.

"Don't worry, we'll be fine" said Emira reassuringly before a couple of skeletons fell in front of them

"Nope, we're gonna die" replied Edric in silent panic

"Never tempt fate" added Odwin "ever again"

"That's right. Because death is here." Said Luz pretending to be a skeleton as joke "just kidding! Luz is here!"

"Kid! Get outta here! I'm just gonna sneak away when the thing starts eating those kids" said Eda causing the blights next to her to gasp

Luz goes on to speak about learning her lesson blah blah, Odwin just zoned out until Luz called his name.

"And Odwin, you were right; the magic was speaking the whole time, i just had to listen"

"Uh, thanks, i guess?...uh, just go save us" said Odwin not knowing what to say

"On it!"

Soon after she left, the slitherbeast came back and this time with seasoning...it literally seasoned the four it caught.

"Seasoning? Really? This is one fancy beast" deadpanned Odwin tiredly before Eda sneezed

"Ugh, i hate garlic" said Eda in anger

Soon enough, Luz appeared and provoked the beast, luring it away from the trapped four. Amity, who was waiting for this opportunity given by Luz, approached the Odwin and the others.

"Amity!" "Use that fire spell we taught you"

"But i can't do it without the wand!"

"Yes, you can. Just focus" advised Emira

"You got this, Am" added Odwin

Amity took a deep breath "okay" she slowly drew the magic circle and focused and soon enough, there it was, a fireball.

"Huh, waddya know?" Said Odwin with a smile "you really pulled it off"

"Yeah, i didn't think you could do it" added Emira with a smile as Amity melted the substance that trapped her and the rest.

The 5 heard a roar from Luz's direction and headed there as fast as possible. They saw the beast fallen on it's back. It soon got up and started running at Odwin and the others.

"Okay, enough is enough" said Odwin tiredly as he drew a large magic circle and fired it at the beast, causing it to panic and cry in feat before running quickly.

"What was that?" Asked Emira in shock

"A spell that shows you your worst fears and puts them on loop, but if i keep the spell running for long enough: your mind soon will start to degrade from the constant horror and the spell will start eroding it leading to a few memories being erased here and there; essentially trapping you in an endless cycle of agony until either your mind or body collapses from exhaustion. Whichever comes first."

"Why do you even have a spell that does that?!" Asked Edric in shock, causing Odwin to shrug

"Yeah, that's not something you make on a nice weekend for fun" added Amity in disgust

"I have much eviler spells, Amity, it's why i always make sure my oracle magic book is hidden from other people" said Odwin calmly "reason i don't use those spells more often? It'd give me a bad reputation and sometimes just leaves a bad taste in my mouth, but all knowledge is good knowledge am i right?"

"""No!!!"""

"Ahh, you remind me of myself when i was your age" said Eda with a smile

"Did you see that, i made the connection!" Said Luz excitedly

"I saw. Nice work, kiddo"

Odwin thought about the circumstances, Luz and Amity were fully friends now and it was pointless to keep the canon anymore since he got what he wanted.

So, before Luz could leave for the owl house, Odwin called for her.

"Hey, Luz! Catch!" He threw a very familiar book to her

Luz easily caught before realizing what it was "your glyph book? But-"

"I don't need it. Just make sure to use it wisely and master the basic four glyphs first. The glyphs inside are enchanted to not be activated no matter how much you touch them." Said Odwin cheerfully "and if you find out anything new, make sure to add it in"

"Really? I can keep this?"

"Yes! It's yours, now go! I have evil magic to explain my possession of" said Odwin with a frown

Luz excitedly drew the ice glyph she recently learned on the ground and quickly flung herself and Eda in the way of the owl house.

Meanwhile, Odwin had to explain to his siblings why it's okay to have SOME evil magic lying around here and there.

_-_-_

Tell me how i did. Leave a review.

Toodles.
