Spyro: Legacy of The Owl House
Ch. 5: The Possession of Hooty
Eda is showing a card game to Luz called Hexes Hold'em. Her opponent is Owlbert who is wearing a green visor. King, Spyro and Sparx were also there to watch.
"Watch closely Luz." Eda said. "Hexes Hold'em is the most tricky game on the Boling Isles. Any proper witch knows how to play."
"Oh boy, cards! The paper rectangles that old people think are fun!" Luz said.
"You know, some dragons in Magic Crafters use similar looking "rectangles" too. Spyro said.
Eda places a card on the table and lighting starts to appear above them. Owlbert flew down behind the table for cover as the cards stood up and roared at each other. The cards on Owlbert's side start to attack Eda's which cause him to smirk as he gets the upper hand.
"Now when it looks like the deck is stacked against you, that's when you break out the wild card." Eda said as she held up a card with a tower on it.
It begins to glow green and its effect caused Owlbert's cards to catch on fire and disappearing. Flames appeared from above spelling out "WINNER: EDA" for a few seconds before it vanishes. Owlbert jumps back on the table and hoots at Eda while extending his wings in defeat.
"Woo, I win! In your adorable owl face!" She said as she gloated at Owlbert. "Ah, I love the feeling of victory. It feels…fluffy?"
"I think feathery is the word you're looking for." Spyro said with Sprax buzzing as he saw what was happening to Eda.
"What do you mean by that, short stuff?" She said to him.
"Uh, Eda? What Spyro is trying to tell you is that it's happening again." Luz said as she looked and pointed at Eda's arm as it started to grow feathers.
Eda said to her, "What's happening again?"
"Your curse is returning! Just look at your arms!" King said.
Eda looked at her arms as she screamed as feathers were growing from them. Everyone quickly heads to Eda's nest and she swiftly opens a box where she puts her elixirs in, but there is some bad news.
"Oh boy." Eda said as she saw that all her bottles of elixir were empty. "This is terrible. I'm out of elixir."
"Uh, last time this happened, you turned into this thing." Luz said while showing her phone to her. It has a picture of Eda's owl beast form roaring.
"What you became that, you looked like the monsters in Dark Passage that change their form in darkness." Spyro said to her.
"I know I should be repulsed, but that look is fierce." Eda said as she starting to like her owl beast form.
"Eda!" Luz said to get her to her senses.
"Your right, your right. We need to head to the market." She said.
"Market!" Luz said happily.
"I'm gonna steal everything that is not nailed down!" King said as he and Luz started to leave the room.
"Before we go, would anyone like to play one more hand of Hexes Hold'em?" Eda said as she pats her pockets to find her cards, but she notices that they are missing. "Hey, where are my cards?"
It turns out Luz snatched her cards while she wasn't looking. Owlbert appeared and landed on the Hexes Hold'em cards.
"Both of you take these and fly ahead. She'll have to follow us." Luz said to Owlbert and Sparx. They both took an equal share of cards and immediately flew out of the room.
"Owlbert, you sore loser, give me back my cards!" Eda said she start to chase them. "You too, dragonfly before I turn you into a night light!"
The scene cuts to the Boneborugh market where Eda is banging at a gate.
"Hey, open up, Morton!" She said.
"Uh. ju-just a minute!" Morton said.
King decides to leave Eda's side and sit near Luz who was on a bench. Spyro was near the bench, sitting.
"Is there anything better than people watching in the demon realm?" Luz said to King as she looked at three witches standing at a bus stop.
"They're a few things I can think of that are better than this." Spyro said to her.
A giant egg rolled near the bus stop and cracked open and a giant featherless bird appeared and screeched. It flew off allowing the witches to enter the egg shell and closing it to ride, but as it left, Tiny Nose runs to try to get a ride.
"Wait, wait!" She said, but it was too late as the egg left without her. "Aw, dang it."
"The curse of tiny legs." Luz said.
"I know the pain." King said with Sprax feeling the same thing.
Loud footsteps were heard near Tiny Nose. She looks up, screams and runs as the footsteps get closer. It is shown to be made by a witch with an eyepatch. He waves his hand and a cart holding a large demon follows him. Luz gets out of the bench and walks near Eda.
"Whoa, that is one ominous parade." Luz said to Eda.
Eda looks to where Luz is pointing and says, "That's no parade. Those are demon hunters."
"Eh, they don't look all that tough." Spyro said as he looked at the demon hunters.
Eda said to him, "Well, you should be careful around them. They're dangerous nomads who capture and sell the most powerful beasts."
The captured demon roars and bucks around to try to get free, but is pinned down by two demon hunters. It then tries to bite the demon hunter with the eyepatch, but he moves out of the way. He then traced a spell circle which made some green lighting in his hand. With a grunt, he shocks the demon which knocks it unconscious. He turned and looked at Luz menacingly, which caused her to gasp.
"…which I'm about to become if you don't open up, Morton!" Eda shouted with her banging the grate to get Morton's attention.
The grate opened and Morton appeared. He is shown to be a pointy eared man wearing a funnel hat and mint colored fingerless gloves.
"Sorry, Eda. I was up all night poison tasting. For some reason, I don't feel great." Morton said while holding his stomach.
"Gee, I wonder why." Spyro said to Sparx.
"I'm all out of my juice, pal." Eda said as she gave him the empty elixir bottle.
"Oh, gee." Morton said as he looked at the bottle. "Let me see what I can do."
As the demon hunters and the giant demons go away, Willow and Gus are seen standing behind them.
"Willow and Gus." Luz said.
"You're witch friends?" Spyro said with Luz happy nodding yes.
She then walked towards them and said, "Heya, friends!" She mood quickly changed when she notices something is wrong with them. "Wait, what's wrong? Who hurt my babies?"
"Them." Willow said with her pointing her thumb back to a food stand. At it was Amity along with three other witches she is associated with named Boscha, Skara, and Cat.
"Great, just what we need, Greenie and her witch squad." Spyro said sarcastically as he walked near Luz, Willow, and Gus.
"I really wish you would stop calling Amity that." Luz said to him.
"That's not gonna happen anytime soon, not after she tried to kill you with abominations twice and hitting Sparx with that goo." He said with Sprax buzzing angry at Amity as he hasn't forgiven her for what she did to him. "So, why is she getting you two down in the dumps?"
"Amity is having a moonlight conjuring and invited everyone but me." Willow said to him.
"And she keeps posting about it on her Penstagram account." Gus said as summoned a scroll. It opened up to show Amity's Penstagram post of her and her friend posing.
Luz read aloud, "It's conjuring night. No dorks allowed? What a jerk!" She said while crossing her arms.
"It's just like someone like her to be rude like that." Spyro said.
"So, what's a moonlight conjuring?" Luz said to Willow.
Willow starts to explain to Luz what a conjuring is, "You spend the night at someone's house. Telling stories, playing games…"
"Like a slumber party! We have those." She said.
Willow pulls out a book and finishes up what she said, "…and you bring something to life with moon magic!"
Hearing this, Luz didn't say anything, but after a second she said, "Like a weird slumber party."
"Gus and I have never been to one. You need at least three people and…" Willow was interrupted by Luz who was excited about this.
"I'm three people-I mean, we are three people plus a dragon and a dragonfly, and we're way better than them!" She said to her.
As Amity and her friends approached Luz, Willow, Gus, and Spyro, Boscha laughed and said to Willow, "Sorry you couldn't get an invite to the conjuring, Willow. Only real witches are allowed." She turned to look at Amity while she said that last sentence.
Amity sighs and said to her, "Leave her alone. It's not her fault she was born without talent." They all walked away.
"Man, and I thought she was bad, her three eyed friend is even worse!" Spyro said as he looked at Boscha due to him not liking her attitude.
Willow growls and what Boscha and Amity said. This caused several vines to grow around her.
"Whoa." Luz said as one vine grew tall quickly, but she slapped it which caused it to recede.
"There's no need to bring out your vines!" Spyro said to Willow.
"Yeah, don't waste your time getting thorny over them, because we're gonna have our own moonlight conjuring." Luz said.
"Are you serious?" Gus said to her. He then pulls out a piece of paper and checks a square on it. "This was on my bucket list. After owning a real human bucket!"
"That's a really weird thing to want, but I appreciate your enthusiasm." Luz said to him. She turned to look at Spyro. "You're gonna join us too, right, Spyro?"
"If it means putting Greenie and her friends in their place, then yes we'll join you guys." Spyro said with Luz slightly nicked with him calling Amity that name again.
"I'll go tell Eda if it's ok to do the conjuring at the Owl House." Luz said. She ran to go tell Eda who is still waiting on her elixir.
"I got bad news and good news." Morton said. "The bad news is I'm all out 'till next week. Good news is, feathers are a good look for you."
Immediately after Morton finished his sentence, A feather appeared on top of Eda's hair.
"Morton!" Eda said to him with the top feather and several more fluttering to the ground as she stalks forward.
"Well gee, E. Why did you wait to re-up 'till now?" Morton asked her.
"I've been very busy." She told him.
King heard what they were saying on the bench so he told Morton, "Yeah, busy playing Hexes Hold'em. She's obsessed with it!"
"I am not obsessed!" Eda said.
"You're playing it right now!" King said. The game appeared out of nowhere. Eda was even holding a card.
"Am I winning?" She said to Morton.
Morton said, "You know I won't suggest this to just anybody, but if you need your elixir you can try your luck later this evening."
"At the night market?" Eda said, as she knows what he means.
"There's a guy with a stand, goes by Grimm Hammer. If anyone has what you need, it's him." Morton said.
Luz appeared and said, "Eda, Gus, Willow and I are gonna do a moonlight conjuring and stick it to Amity so can we…"
"Not tonight. I'm going out. Eda said while holding up her right hand to reject Luz's request. She gets her staff that is beside her and continues talking to Luz. "I need you to watch the house. I have many precious objects there."
"Like me." King said.
Eda picked him up and said to him, "You're coming with me. I need an extra pair of eyes looking out for pickpockets and an extra set of hands in case I want to pickpocket."
"Pickpockets!" They both said.
Eda looked at Spyro and Sparx and said, "Both of you are coming with us too."
"What? Why?" Spyro said. Sprax was buzzing as he was surprised.
"You're little friend took my cards earlier, so you're going to pay me back for what he did." She said to him.
"Hey, it's not his fault that you're addicted to a card game." Spyro said to her.
"Maybe, but you still have to compensate me for his actions." Eda said.
Spyro groaned but he said, "Fine, I do it, but I won't like it." Sparx just buzzes sadly at Spyro as he is sorry he was
Luz said to Eda while waving her hands at Willow and Gus, Since you're leaving tonight, they can come to the house and…
"No!" Eda said, interrupting Luz. "Besides, conjurings are dumb. Sitting in a circle holding hands. Pfft. It's like magic for babies." She walks away after making her decision.
"But-" Luz said.
"Luz!" Willow said as she and Gus approached her. "What did Eda say?"
"So, guys…" Before Luz could tell them that their conjuring isn't gonna happen Gus looked up and saw the moon.
"Oh look!" He said with Luz, and Willow looking upward. "The moon is rising into place. The celestial powers only align once a year."
"Oh, I can't believe I finally have enough friends for a moonlight conjuring. Thank you, Luz!" Willow said. "Did Eda say it was ok?"
"Uhm…" Luz didn't want her friends to mope again so she told a little white lie about what Eda told her. "…yes. She said yes. We can do it at the Owl House. As long as we don't make a mess or touch anything and never bring up that we did it!" She started to laugh nervously.
"Yes!" Gus said.
"Luz, you're the best!" Willow said.
Gus and Willow start to joyfully say in a singsong voice, "We're gonna do a conjuring! We're gonna do a conjuring! Conjuring! Conjuring!"
As they sang, Luz looked up at the moon again as she continued to get nevious. Spyro notices this easily. Sprax buzzes at Spyro if he see the same same thing he saw.
"I know, pal. She's definitely gonna do that conjuring despite being told not to." Spyro said. "While we can't join her, we can tell some of our friends to take our place."
Cut to the Owl House later that night, Luz was sitting on the sofa with Spyro and Sparx with her.
"Luz…" Spyro said.
"What is it, Spyro?" Luz asked him.
"I've been talking to Sparx and we know you're still going to do that conjuring." He said.
"How did you two know?!" Luz said as she was shocked that they know what she's up to.
"It's really easy to tell. You're a terrible liar." Spyro told her which Luz to look slight annoyed at them
"Can you just please don't tell Eda about this? I don't want to let Willow and Gus down." Luz said as she pleaded with them.
Spyro told her, "Don't worry, we're not gonna sell you out. Instead I asked some of my friends to watch over you and your friends if anything goes wrong.."
"Are they dragons like you?" Luz said as her grinning and mood quickly changed from nervous to cheerful.
Spyro was a little surprised at how Luz quickly changed her mood, but he said. "Yes, they are. They'll be here soon."
Eda appeared in the living room and was still wearing her cloak to hide the feathers around her arms. "Luz, you're in charge while I'm out." She told her. "Make sure Hooty doesn't get into any trouble."
"Hoot, hoot!" Hooty said as he opened the door. "I don't need a babysitter. I'm a big boy house!"
"You can't count on me! I'd never betray your hard earned trust." Luz said with her chuckling and smiling nervously.
"And there it is." Spyro said to Sparx. "Could she be more obvious?"
"You're acting suspicious." Eda said to her. "Are you doing that thing where you're hiding in your hoodie?" Luz is shown hiding her face in her hood.
"Meow, I'm not." She said. She opened her hood afterwards. "Oh, where's King?"
"He's right here." Eda said with her opening her cloak to show King, sleeping and snoring in a pink baby carrier. "His little body just conks out when he's waitless. Look at this." Eda moved side to side, but King remained asleep.
"Aw, he's so dangly." Luz said with her playing with King's feet.
"Oh, brother." Spyro said. He and Sparx headed outside with Eda heading out as well.
"Anyway, really going now." Eda said as she and Luz went outside. "And Luz…." Eda turned to face her with Luz changing her mood from cheerful to nervous once more. Eda told her in a menacing tone while pointing at her, "…if you mess up the house, I will never trust you again." Her tone changed back to normal. "No pressure! Byeeeee!"
Owlbert hoots and his wings open up. Eda got on her staff and flew to the Night Market. Luz waved after them for a while while smiling nervously.
She then looked at Spyro who said, "Be careful. Who knows what she'll make you do if you get caught." Spyro extended his wings and the magic from the superfly orb activated. He and Sparx fly on to catch up with Eda.
"Ay, should I really be doing this? No, no Willow is counting on you." Luz said to herself. She then whispered to two bushes. "Ok, she's gone."
"Release!" Willow said, as the bushes glowed and burst to reveal her and Gus. "I'm a sneaky sneakster." She said.
"I got leaves in my pants…and I like it." Gus said.
"So, where's Spyro and Sparx? Aren't they supposed to join us?" Willow asked.
Luz said nervously to them," They..um had last minute plans, but Spyro has asked some of his friends to take their place. They should be here any minute now."
After Luz said her excuse, a portal to the Dragon realms rose up from the ground. Out of it were two dragons that are about the same age and size as Spyro. One of them was a pink, female dragon with a gold, heart-shaped necklace that had a red gem in the center. The other dragon is a male red dragon that resembles Spyro, but with a noticeable rounder and longer snout and a more spikey tail.
"Hi there!" The red dragon said to Luz. "You must be the human Spyro told us about. Lois. is it?"
"Luz. My name is Luz." She said, correcting him. "So what are your names?"
The pink dragon answered while waving her claw and the red dragon, "This is Flame. And I'm Ember."
"It's good to see more of Spyro's friends." Willow said to both of them.
Ember quickly said, "Hey, you know actually, I'm Spyro's girlfriend."
"Self-proclaimed girlfriend is more like it." Flame quirky said to them which caused Ember to look at him angrily.
"Company, honorary finally someone to listen to my stories! Okay, one time, a sparrow flew into my mouth, and then I…" As Hooty was talking, Luz opened the door and invited Willow, Gus, Ember, and Flame inside to which they went in and the door closed. "Hey…" Hooty coughed up the sparrow that was in his move and it flew away.
"Welcome to… the living room." Luz said to her friends, Ember and Flame. "We can do that because it's technically living. The walls are breathing. Look over there." Luz pointing to a wall that is breathing heavily. Willow moves to get a closer look.
"Enchanting." She said.
"Surprising." Ember said.
"And look at all these human treasures." Gus said as he dig through a chest a got a 8 ball. He then picks up a human skull out of it. "And actual humans."
"That's just plain creepy." Flame said as he looked at the skull.
Luz, who is holding a bowl of eyeball snacks said, "We got snacks. We got weird music." She put the needle down on the gramophone which created a cackle.
"We got a bucket." Gus said who has a bucket on his head.
"Gus, my man." Luz said while winking and pointing at him.
"And best of all we have actual friends to do the conjuring is so exciting!" Willow said with glee.
"So how does this conjuring stuff work?" Luz asked.
Willow told her, "Well first, we first, we have to find an object to animate. Since it's are first time, we should pick something meaningful. Something beautiful." She walks to some flowers sitting on a table as she is referring to it.
"Something pretty?" Ember asked.
"Hmm-mmm." Willow said to her.
Gus appeared behind the flowers and burst through them. He is shown to be holding a Beef Bob action figure. "Like this strangely buff little man?"
He squeezed the figure and it said, "I'm half beef, half bob!"
"Yes! He's perfect!" Luz said.
"I'm down with it." Flame said. He then said to himself. "Not like it matters, since pretty much anything can work."
"That's not exactly what we meant by "beautiful or meaningful". Willow said to them.
"There are words I can say about that figure and pretty aren't one of them." Ember said to them.
Flame said to Willow and Ember, "Come on. Just let them conjure it. What do you gotta lose for choosing it? Besides,…" He looked at Gus who started to whimper sadly. "…who can say no to a face like that?"
"Ok, buff boy it is." Willow said as she finally decided to choose the action figure.
Luz hugged Willow and said, "Yes!"
"Tonight, he shall be risen!" Gus said excitedly.
With the moon in alignment, Gus places the action figure on the ground between himself, Willow and Luz. Ember and Flame were looking at a distance.
"According to the conjuring books I've read, we say the incantation and make a connection with the doll." Willow said.
"Figurine." Gus said, correcting her.
"Action figure." Flame said, correcting them both.
Willow and Gus start to chant the incantation, "Moonlight, we call, we sing. Moonlight take this chance. Moonlight come tie the string. Moonlight start the dance."
Since Luz had no idea what to say she said, "Moonlight, tie, string... and I don't know the words!"
"She's just as weird as Spyro said she is." Ember said to Flame.
"Definitely." Flame said.
As the moon rises, Hooty starts to look directly at it. The moon suddenly stopped in place and flashed a burst of blue light. A similar light burst between Luz, Willow and Gus then through Ember and Flame. It spread through the living room and blew out the candles. Willow, Luz, and Gus opened one of their eyes to look at the Beefy Bob figure, which remains unresponsive.
"That's your cue, little man." Gus said as he tried to tell the figure to move.
However, instead of the figure, something else is moved as the house starts to rumble and shake. Hooty then blinked, but once he opened his eyes, they became the same blue light. He also started to make ghostly noises. Birds start to fly away as the house's foundation cracks and the house itself starts to rise. Everyone inside screamed and lose their balance as this was happening. Once the Owl House stopped moving, it is shown to have giant bird legs.
"Guys?" Luz said with a book falling on her head. "Did the entire house just hiccup?"
Gus looked at the action figure and asked, "Little buff guy, what did you do?"
He squeezed it again, and it said, "A real man never takes accountability!"
"No I think-I think we might've animated the house by accident!" Willow said.
"The house?!" Luz excalmed.
"For real?" Flame said.
"I didn't expect this to happen." Ember said.
Hooty is still making those ghost noises while Luz opens the door to find out what is going on even though she almost fell off the ledge. Once she regained her footing, she gasped to find out that the house is now moving on its own. As Willow, Gus, Ember, and Flame head outside and the door closes, Luz heads for the door and begs for Hooty to stop moving.
"Hooty? Hooty! Hooty, you have to stop!" Luz said.
Hooty just said in a trance-like state, "By the power of moonlight, I have risen. Hoot hoot."
"He's in some kind of trance." Gus told her.
The house walked through two trees which caused a jostling that caused Luz and Gus to lose balance once again. Gus nearly fell but was Luz and Willow grab him while Ember and Flame walk out to see them trying get back up.
"Our magic must have spread though the house instead of the doll." Willow said, explaining why the house is moving.
"Figurine!" Gus said, once more trying to correcting her.
"Action figure!" Flame said as he once more tries to correct them both.
As they try to keep Gus from falling, Luz and Willow nearly fell themselves, but they grab each other's hand to keep their balance, Doing this causes the blue glow to return to cover them.
The house was about to fall off a cliff but Luz shouted, "Hooty, stop!" This along with blue glow when they held hands caused the house to stop it in its tracks. Luz and Willow finally pulled up Gus and let go of each other to stare at their hands.
"Wow, it stopped right before it plummeted." Flame said.
"How'd we do that?" Gus asked. They all looked at the moon, and Luz figured it out.
"Willow, Gus, hold hands again." She said to them, which they all did cause the glow to come back and cause the house to step away from the cliff.
"We're controlling it with the power of friendship. Uh, and the moon. Probably the moon." Willow said.
"This is amazing! What do we do now?" Gus said to them.
As the glow that covers them fades, Luz said, "On the one hand, we should probably stay put."
"On the other hand, we've got a giant walking house and should totally take it on a joyride!" Gus said with excitement in his voice.
Luz looked at the moon descended and thought they'll be no harm having a little fun with controlling the house.
"Okay, okay, but we gotta be back before the moon sets or Eda will kill me." Luz said.
"I can't believe what we're seeing right now. What are we going to say to Spyro about this?" Ember said to Flame.
"House renovations?" Flame said as he thought of something.
Luz, Willow and Gus hold hands again and cheer as the house moves again. While they are moving, the eyepatch bounty hunter growls as he sees them and the moving house.
Cut to a sign that says night market. Eda and Spyro were walking through the center passage of the market.
"I gotta say, this place took a 180 at night." Spyro said. He saw a familiar thief from the dragon realms holding a chest of gems and said "Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah! Ha ha ha ha!" At him. Spyro responded by charging him which caused him to drop the gem chest. It broke and gems came out of it. Sprax grabs them all which total 200, giving Spyro 250 gems.
Eda stopped walking and sighs, but as she was resting the feathers on her arms grew slightly. "The curse." She said while covering her arm. "I need that elixir quick."
"Sure, but how are we going to find one guy in all of this?" Spyro said.
Eda sees a demon lacking eyeballs sitting near a crate. She walked near it and said, "Hey, you. You know where I can find a Grimm Hammer?"
The demon nods yes with a grunt. A small lizard appeared in the demon's eye socket and points to a stand that has a menacing appearance.
"Oh course it's the stand with the ominous appearance. Come on, let's get this over with. The sooner you lose those feathers, the better." Spyro said.
Eda shook yes to Spyro and both headed for the stand. After they left the demon eats the lizard with his tongue.
Back at the forest, the Owl House keep walking until they see Bosha, walking while holding a crow phone, talking to her mom.
"Hey!" Willow said as she saw her. "Is that…"
"It's Bosha. That girl who made fun of us." Gus said.
"Hey, Spyro mentioned a three eyed girl who teased you three, but he called her something else." Flame said. "What did he call her again, Ember?"
"She called her, "Tri-Eyes", Flame. Ember told him.
"Yeah, that's the one." Flame said.
"I got to talk to Spyro about this name calling he always does." Luz thought.
"Ugh! Yes, Mom. I'm going to a moonlight conjuring. No, Mom. You can't come. And yes, Mom, it's sad that you're asking." She said to her mom. She let go of the crow phone and it flew off. She turned around and saw the Owl House behind her in the distance.
"She notices us. What do we do?" Willow asked.
"Hmmm." Luz said as she thought up a plan on pranking Bosha. She began to talk to Bosha in a ghostly voice through a megaphone created by Gus' illusion magic.
"Hey. H-Hey you." She said, trying to talk in a ghostly voice. "You should, uh, stop being so mean to people. You're kind of a jerk." All of them laugh quietly to avoid getting caught by Bosha.
"Ew. A talking house is giving me a lecture? Whatever. I'll just TP'd you like I did with the rest of the neighborhood." Bosha said.
"But don't you see? I am no mere house." Luz said to her. She roars while the house stands up, showing the house's bird legs. Bosha screamed and ran away. Luz, Willow, and Gus are seen laughing after they pranked her.
"I've never pranked anyone before. And now I have a taste for it." Gus said.
"I guess that was pretty funny." Flame said to them. Ember just nodded no at what Flame said.
"We should follow her to Amity's house to show off our conjuring. That will show her who's got no talent." Willow said.
Luz looks at the moon again as she notices that their time is short. "Actually, I'm starting to think we should head back." She said.
"I can see why." Ember said as she saw the moon.
"Amity's updating her Penstagram." Gus said as he brought out his scroll again, showing Amity's Penstagram account again.
Luz read aloud the text below the earlier text, "Shout out to my fellow witches. #Humanscanbiteit." She was shocked and gasped after reading this. "Let's do it."
"I feel like I'm gonna regret this." Flame said.
"I'm thinking the same thing, too." Ember said.
Luz, Willow and Gus cheered again as the Owl House headed for Amity house. However, unknown to them, several showared figures were following them.
Back at the night market, Eda and Spyro have reached the stand. Eda peers through the curtain to see if Grimm Hammer is there.
"Hello? Uh, I seek the one they call Grimm Hammer." She said.
A figure appeared from the stand and said ominously, "I'm the one they call Grimm Hammer." The curtain rose to show the figure was a pig demon. "Welcome, welcome, welcome. I've got weaponry from the Hinterlands, curses from the Winterlands, and jellybeans!" He said in his normal voice. He tossed jellybeans around Luz and King.
"Jellybeans!" King said as he grabbed one.
"They're lethally delicious." Grimm Hammer said.
Despite that, King was about to eat it until Eda swatted it away from his claw.
"So, you're supposed to be Grimm Hammer?" Spyro as with Sprax buzzing in confusion.
"Tibblet-Tibblie Grimm Hammer the Third. Please, call me Tibbles." He said to him.
King giggles and said to Eda and Spyro, "He wants to be called that."
"Uh, sure. We'll call you that." Spyro said.
"Okay, Tibbles. I need some of this elixir." Eda said while showing him the empty elixir bottle.
"Oh. This is one wicked brew." Tibbles said. He picks up an elixir bottle with his tail, and grabs it with his hand. "Lucky for you I stock up!"
"Huzzam!" Eda shouted.
"I'll give you 10 snails for the elixir." Eda said while getting out her snail purse.
"Add two more zeros and it's a deal." Tibbles said to her.
"A thousand snails?!" Eda said in shock. "What kind of game are you playing?"
"Capitalism. Where everyone wins, except you." He said. He jumped back into his stand.
"This guy just went from a helpful merchant to Moneybags really quick!" Spyro said with Sprax buzzing as he agreed with him.
"Hey!" Eda said as she demanded him to give her that elixir at a low price. She quickly saw the Hexes Hold'em cards on the counter and said, "Say, you play Hexes Hold'em?"
"Really? Now?" King said.
"Oh no, not this again." Spyro said. Sparx was buzzing "Uh-oh."
"Oh! Is that what that game is called? I was just using these as coasters." Tibbles said as he returned to the counter and held the cards.
Eda then places a bet for the elixir, "How about we make it interesting? I win, you give me the elixir. You win, you can take something of mine."
"Oh, what fun. You're on." Tibbles said with Eda smirking as she thought she had the advantage over him.
"Hey! Down here!" Spyro said, which got Eda's attention. "You're taking this risk after seeing that dumb game? Who knows what he wants from you if he wins."
"Hexes Hold'em isn't a dumb game, flame boy. Besides, I got the edge here. I bet little Tibbles here haven't played before. I got this in the bag." Eda said as she thinks she has the advantage.
Spyro sighs and said to Sparx. "This is not going to end well." Sparx then buzzes sadly about Luz. "I know you're worried about her, pal, but remember, Ember and Flame are with her along with her friends. How much trouble do you think they would get conjuring up something?"
Meanwhile at Bonesburgh, the Owl House is walking through the city streets as civilians run for cover.
"I don't think this is a good idea walking like this in the open. I think we're starting a panic." Ember said.
"Don't worry about it. Look over there." Willow said. Ember and Flame looked forward and saw a mansion in the distance. "It's Amity's house. Time to show Amity what a real conjuring looks like." The Owl House moved forward, but stopped by a giant rope that went over the rope. The sudden stop caused Luz, Willow and Gus to let go of their hands.
"What happened?" Willow said. "Are we caught?"
"We'll fly to see what is going on." Ember said as she and Flame stood in front of the trio.
"Wait, don't you two need that orb thing to fly, like how Spyro uses it?" Luz asked.
"No need. We're using an alternate way to gain flight." Flame said.
They both flew up and looked forward ahead and saw the Demon hunters were responsible for capturing the Owl House.
"Who are those guys?" Ember said.
"Whatever they are, they're using crossbows to sling ropes to hold the house." Flame said.
Demon Hunter #1 gave the signal and a second bolt and rope was shot which captured the house completely. He then jumps in front of the kids. "Knock, knock." He said. This causes them to gasp in terror.
"Uh-oh." Ember said.
"This is bad." Flame said.
Some time later, The Owl House was tied up on a cart and being pushed by the demon hunters. One of them stands on top of a cliff and blows a horn. At the house's front door. Hooty is once again making those strange ghost noises.
Ember and Flame managed to get inside through the window. Once there, they see Luz, Willow and Gus were rope tied together.
"Are you three all right? "Ember said.
"We're fine, Ember." WIllow said.
"Speak for yourself." Gus said.
"Who are those cloaked figures who capture you three?" Flame asked them.
"There Demon hunters." Luz said. " Eda told me that they capture and sell the demonic beasts of the Boling Isles."
"Oh, then that means there after the house." Flame said.
"Hoot! Hoot! I have a name you know!" Hooty said as he could hear their conversation.
"This isn't the time now, Hooty! You have to wake up!" Luz said as she kicked the door to get Hooty's attention, but he just continued making ghost noises.
"Come on, pull yourself together, you bird…tube…worm…thing!" Ember said to Hooty.
"If you want this to end as you say, three must hold hands. It's the only way." Hooty said to her in his trance state.
"Oye, no me hable así!" Luz said in spanish. She turns to talk to Willow. "Willow, will you help me out with Hooty?"
"I'm sorry, Luz. You shouldn't ask me to help with anything." She said.
"Willow…" Luz said.
The house suddenly stops moving and Luz, Willow and Gus grunt as they hit the floor.
"Did the house stop moving?" Luz asked.
"Uh, my insides didn't." Gus said.
Luz said to the two dragons," Ember, Flame, you two need to go find Spyro and tell him to come over here and help. Just make sure not to tell Eda about this."
"What? But what about you three?" Ember said.
"We can't just leave you guys behind! Flame said.
"You won't be able to help us at all if you two get caught!" Luz said. "Now go! Please!"
Ember and Flame both look at each other with worried looks on their faces, but they both decide to do what Luz said.
"Ok, we'll do it. Come on, Flame." Ember said.
Ember flew out though the window, Flame sighed then followed Ember out the window. The front door opened as the trio whimpered. Demon Hunter #1 laughed as he pushed them out of the Owl House. Ember and Flame were flying above to avoid being detected by the demon hunters. They still want to help the three even if Luz told them to find Spyro.
"Take the house and rip out the house demon. We can sell it to restaurants as exotic meat." Demon Hunter #1 said.
"No! Hooty would taste terrible." Luz told them.
"Hey, I'm a refined taste. Hoot! Hoot!" Hooty said.
"What do we do with the worms?" The demon hunter named Tom said.
Luz looked at her friend for a sec before looking at the demon hunters again.
"Throw them over the cliff". Demon Hunter #1 said. Tom started to chuckle as he approached them while Gus whimpered over this.
"Oh no! They're gonna toss them off the cliff! We have to help them!" Ember said.
"I know, but how? We're nowhere near as good as Spyro in fighting." Flame said to her.
Ember thought about it for a second and saw the cliff's edge overlooking the sea. This gives her an idea.
"I got it! Follow me!" She said as she flew below the cliff's edge with Flame following.
Tom shoves the trio until they reach the cliff's edge. "All righty, kids. Here's the end of your short little lives." He said.
"Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!" Gus said in quick succession while turning to see the Demon Hunter. "Is this really what you wanna be doing with your life? Tossing kids from cliffs?"
Tom answered with, "Actually, yes. It's been my dream since I was a boy." The trio just stared at him as they were confused at what he just said. "I was a strange child."
He then pushed them off the cliff while saying "Weee!: He laughed to himself afterwards. However, instead of falling into the ocean, they were saved by Ember and Flame who were flying under the cliff. They grab the ropes that hold Luz, Willow, and Gus thus saving their lives.
"Ember, Flame, you guys came back to save us!" Luz said.
"Of course we do." Ember said. "There's no way we're gonna tell Spyro that his friends fell off a cliffed and got killed today."
"We'll, we will be when Eda finds out about the house." Luz said to them.
"Luz, I'm so sorry. You wanted to turn back but I just had to show off to Amity." Willow said in guilt. "The truth is she and I used to be friends."
"Whaaat?" She said as she was surprised that Willow was once friends with her rival.
Ember and Flame started to get tired as it is hard to carry them all while flying.
Willow continued to tell her history with Amity, "We played together as kids, but when she got her magical powers and I didn't, she stopped hanging out with me."
"Guys, is now the best time?" Gus said to them.
"Luz, can you and your friend hurry it up? We can't keep flying like this forever!" Ember said.
"Yeah, you three are heavier than you look." Flame said.
Willow ignored them and sighs, "I just wanted to prove to her that I was a powerful witch, too."
Luz said to her, "That's ridiculous! You helped bring a house to life. Amity doesn't know what she's talking about." Willow starts to smile again. "Next to Eda, you're the most powerful witch I know." She looked at Gus and told him, "No offense, Gus."
"No, not at all. I know what I'm about." He said.
"Guys!" Ember shouted as they try to keep them afloat. "We can't keep this up much longer! Do something, quick!"
Willow looks at the cliff and sees a root dangling on it. She then looked up to talk to Ember and Flame. "Can you two fly us near the cliff?" She asked them.
"Sure, but why?" Flame said.
"You'll see." Willow said. Ember and Flame fly closer to the cliff with Willow extending her left arm as she tries to grab the root. "Now if I could just reach that root… Gotcha!" As soon as she grabs hold of the root her hand glows green.
Back at the Night Market, Eda's Hexes Hold'em cars are up in flames.
"Oh, talk about a one-sided battle." Spyro said.
"Oof. That was painful to watch." King said.
"You card shark. You hustled me." Eda said to Tibbles.
Tibbles chuckles while saying, "Looks like you forgot about my wild card." The wild card jumps out of his hand, lands on the counters, roars, then turns to show a demon wearing sunglasses. It ripped off its shirt and said "Yeah!". "In any case, I'd like my prize now. And I choose... the little bone boy." He takes King and chuckles again. "I've always wanted a tiny servant to model my line of baby clothes."
"No! I don't look good in clothes! I'm all-natural!" King exclaimed. "Eda, do something!"
Eda tried to make a spell circle, but her curse is interfering with her magic which prevents it from appearing. Instead, her arm just grew feathers erratically.
"Ugh! I can't perform magic!" She said.
Spyro sighs and said, "Just leave this runt to me!" He jumped on the counter. He was about to use his dragon flame, but Tibbles quickly snapped his fingers which conjured chains and a metal cage from the ground. The chained wrap up Eda, causing her to fall to the ground while the cage quickly captured Spyro from above just before he exhaled his flame. His flame hit the cage, but because dragon fire doesn't work on metal, it has no effect on it. He tried to charge it but the cage was too thick for him to break it. Sparx flew out of the cage, but was captured in the empty elixir bottle that Tibbles placed to capture him.
"Well, don't stand there, burn boy! Help us out of this mess!" Eda said to Spyro.
"I can't." Spyro said. "My flames don't work on metal and charging isn't working either."
Eda looked at Tibbles. "You might have stopped him, but you think this can stop me? I can still bite your ankles."
"You don't think I know who you are, Eda, the Owl Lady?" Tibbles said with Eda gasping that he knows who she is. He then pulls out one of Eda's wanted posters. "That's right. I've seen your wanted posters around here. I wonder how much the Emperor's Coven would pay me to hand you over and your little purple friend?" He then looked at Spyro. "That's right. I'm talking about you. The Emperor's Coven, had been searching for a young purple dragon that has been causing trouble as of late, and you're the one they're looking for!'
"Oh, great. Looks like my heroics as of late have caused me to become a target." Spyro said with Eda glaring at Tibbles.
Back at the cliff, Tom was bragging about how he thought that Luz, Willow, and Gus were tough.
"Yeah, they tried to fight back and they nearly got me. But you know, I handled it." Tom said while flexing.
"They were children, Tom." Demon Hunter #1 said to him.
Out of nowhere, a shadow looms over them. They both look to see Luz, Willow and Gus standing on a giant plant due to Willow turning the small root into it, saving them from their watery grave. She moves on of vines to cut the rope freeing them. Ember and Flame flew near them.
"We may be children, but we're also witches. Powerful ones." Willow said.
"Let's get 'em!" Flame said to Willow.
Willow commanded the plant's vines to attack the demon hunters. A vine quickly fling Tom in the distance, but Demon Hunter #1 draws out his sword, and slices it. A three eyed demon hunter tried to fight back with an ax but missed and was caught by the ankle and thrown into a pile of rubble. Luz, Willow and Gus took the opportunity to get off of the plant and head into the Owl House while the Demon Hunters were distracted. Luz opens the door and holds it for Willow and Gus, then she closes it behind her.
"Everyone, quick!" Luz said with her holding out her hand.
They join hands, and start to control the Owl House once more. Outside, Demon Hunter #1 used his shock spell again to slice the vine he was holding down. He looked back and saw the Owl House is now longer being held down by a wagon and is standing, looming over him.
"Uh…." Demon Hunter #1 said while lifting his eyepatch to get a better look.
The Owl House steps forward, getting underfoot on him. Flame and Ember appeared though the window.
"Yes! We did it!" Flame said.
"I'm so happy right now!" Ember said.
"Oh no." Luz said as she looked outside and behind Ember and Flame to see that the moon was on the water. Time is running out. "I don't mean to step on this victory, but we gotta get home before Eda does."
"Then let's go!" Flame said. "We'll follow you guys via flight."
The Owl House walks away as it makes its trip back home. Ember and Flame flew close as they followed. Demon Hunter #1 groans as he gets back up.
Tom wakes up and said to Demon Hunter #1 mockingly. "They're just children, Tom." Demon Hunter #1 just glared at him afterwards.
Back at the Night Market, Eda is still on the ground in chains and Spyro was sitting while locked up in the metal cage. Sprax was still buzzing around in the empty elixir bottle, while King, who was wearing a sailor outfit, was sulking on the counter.
"King, I'm sorry." Eda said to him.
"King? Who's King? I go by Little Bone Boy now." King said.
"You two we're right about my obsession with Hexes Hold'em, but I'm done with that stupid game. Look." Eda then eats one of the cards to show that she will stop playing that game.
"You promise?" King said to Eda.
"I promise." She said with her mouth full.
"Wonder how long she'll keep that promise." Spyro thought to himself.
King chuckled and said, "Okay, okay. He kicked off the ankle chain that on his leg, stood up and grabbed the bottle holding Sparx. I'll grab you the elixir and then we can bust out of here."
"Bone boy!" Tibbles said which caught his attention." You'll do no such thing! The Emperor's Coven is already on its way to send these two to the Conformatorium." He then holds out another outfit. "And I just rustled up some more clothes for you to try on."
"Just because I have a model's body doesn't mean you can use me like this!" King said with him throwing his hat on the counter. Sprax buzzed as he didn't want to be in that bottle.
Loud footsteps were heard with a candle wavering with each step.
"I can and I am, bone boy." Tibbles said as he climbed up on the counter. "I've got the cards stacked against you."
Eda watched as the loud footsteps continued.
"What's that rumbling?" Spyro said as he looked outside the cage.
Tibbles continues talking to King, "And nothing can stop me. Nothing!"
One of the Owl House Feet stepped on Tibble's stand and caused a good amount of damage. This caused one elixir bottle to fall out of the stand and land on the ground intact. The bottle holding Sparx fell on the ground as well. The impact caused the cork to jump out. Sprax, who sees freedom, flies out of the opening of the bottle.
"Sorry, mister!" Luz said who was waving out of the window. Willow and Gus were also looking out of the same window Luz was.
The Owl House continued walking down the street, with Ember and Flame following it.
"Hi, Spyro! Bye, Spyro!" Both Ember and Flame said as they flew past him and Eda. Spyro was surprised by his friends sudden appearance.
Eda sits up and starts to laugh after seeing Tibbles stand now in shambles. King took the opportunity to step away from Tibbles and go for the elixir.
"Wait, what—Was that my house?" Eda said as she quickly stopped laughing.
"Eda, quick!" King said as he tossed the elixir to her.
She caught it in her mouth and starts to drink it. She spits its out and traces a spell circle around the chains binding her, causing them to shatter. The feathers around her arms poof away as the elixir took effect. She then traces a spell circle around the cage that holding Spyro. Then cause it to burst open, freeing him. Sparx flies near him afterwards.
"Finally out of that mess." Spyro said with Sprax buzzing happily near him.
"No, no, no! My scam stand!" Tibbles shouted.
"Sorry, Tibbles, old boy. It looks like you forgot about the wild card." Eda said as she gets her staff from the ground and picked up some cards. She threw the cards at Tibbles, then she, King, Spyro, and Sprax left.
Tibbles shouted at them, "Curse you, witch! Curse you, bone boy! Curse you, dragon! I'll have my revenge. Tibblet-Tibblie Grimm Hammer the Third will have his revenge!" Once he finished his vengeance speech, his stand fell apart into pieces.
The Owl House had made it the crater it made at its usual spot. It then stood down in it and it was like it never left in the first place.
"Did we do it?" Luz said while opening one eye.
"You three sure did." Ember said as she and Flame came in through the window.
The front door opened and Hooty who is now back to normal said, "Is the room spinning or is it just me? Heh, heh, ha. Just a little house humor."
"Sorry about all that, Hooty." Luz said to Hooty.
"It's okay. I'm just glad I was included." He said.
Spyro flew in through the front door and landed near the group.
"Looks like all of you have been busy." Spyro said.
"You can say that." Luz said. "It's a good things you're told your friends to come. They really help us out of a bind."
"Really?" Spyro said to his friends.
"Definitely." Flame said.
"Yep, we sure did." Ember said.
Luz said, "So, does Eda know about our little joyride?" Spyro knows that Eda and King are really close, but before he could say anything, the front door slammed shut to show that Eda and King were on the other side of it. "Oh, boy." She said.
"Yeah, about that…" Spyro said to Luz.
"You are so busted!" Eda said Luz as she walked towards the group.
"Oh, man." Luz said.
"You held a moonlight conjuring and animated my house. My house!" Eda added.
"Yes, yes, it's all true!" Luz said with her eyes closed.
"Should we do something about this, Spyro?" Ember asked.
"No need, look." Spyro said as he points towards Willow and Gus.
"No. Don't punish Luz." Willow said while getting in front of Luz. "We're the ones who pushed her to do the conjuring."
Gus said while getting in front of Willow. "If you're gonna eat me, just do it now. Do it now!"
Luz said to Willow. "Hey, you didn't have to do that."
"Yes, Luz I did." She said to her.
"Well, you're all guilty, so you'll all be punished…" Eda traced a spell circle which summoned various cleaning supplies above Luz, Willow and Gus. they landed in their arms. "…by cleaning my house top to bottom." She turned to look at the kids. "And another thing…" All of them gulped fearing the worst. "That was totally amazing, and I'm so joining you for next year's conjuring. Now get to work."
The trio ran off to start cleaning while Eda flopped onto the couch. King is also on the couch, struggling to get the sailor outfit off of him.
"I can't believe they animated a whole house." King said in disbelief.
"Yeah. You're right. That takes some powerful magic." Eda said while looking at all three of them while they were cleaning.
Spyro walked near the three kids and told them, "You guys, these two need to tell you all something." Luz, Willow and Gus stopped cleaning and looked to see Ember and Flame standing behind Spyro.
Ember starts talking and said, "In the short time we got to know each other, you three conjured a house, we kept all of you from falling off a cliff and drowned, and we fought a group of demon hunters. Despite that, this has been the most fun I have had for a while." She smiled happily at all of them.
"I agree with her. The experience we just had was scary but exciting." Flame said. He turns to talk to Spyro. "Do you feel the same way when you're with them?"
"Yeah. Pretty much, with the exception of it being scary." Spyro said with Sprax nodding yes at Flame's question.
"I'm glad you two enjoyed the conjuring." Willow said to them.
"We should join in on another adventure some time." Flame said to them.
"I got an idea!" Gus said to Ember and Flame. "You two should join the Human Appreciation Society back at Hexside! I happen to be the president of that club so I can easily make you two members."
Ember and Flame were confused at what Gus said to them, but Flame did say, "Yeah, we'll think about that."
"You know, I still kinda wish we got to show up Amity." Luz said to Willow as she went back cleaning.
"Yeah. Too bad no one will know of our daring adventures." Willow said as she continued cleaning as well.
Spyro said to them, "Hey, given the commotion you caused, I'm sure she'll find out one way or another."
Eda finally notices Ember and Flame and said, "I'm sorry, who are you two?" This just caused Ember and Flame to look at each other, confused that Eda hadn't put together that they are Spyro's friends.
Cut to Amity's bedroom, Boscha, Cat, Skara, and Amelia are staring at a rabbit doll, as they were unsuccessful in making it move.
"Ugh. So what if we couldn't move a doll." Bosha said. "Now we have time for what really matters. Penstagram!"
She summons her scroll with the other three summoning theirs a few seconds later. While they are using their Penstagram account, Amity was looking out the window, brooding. A loud gasp from Bosha caught her attention. She walks over and sees that Bosha's Penstagram feed is showing several people's posts showing off, Luz, Willow, Guz and The Owl House. Ember and Flame were flying in one of those posts. Amity and Bosha end up sharing a look of unbelievable shock together.
"What?!" They both said.
Crows were seen flying and cawing around the mansion.
