Spyro: Legacy of The Owl House
Ch. 1: Dealing with The Warden
From inside Eda's bag, Sparx has no idea where they are going, but he hears Eda's voice though muffed a bit from inside the bag.
"You can open your eyes now, human." Eda said to Luz.
Outside the bag, Luz opened her eyes and looked down. She freaked out a bit and almost fell off Eda's staff.
"Flying staffs, crazy monsters, a purple dragon, you're a witch! What is this place?!" Luz said with Eda pulling her back on her staff properly.
Eda starts explaining to Luz where she is. "This is the Boiling Isles. Each and every myth you humans have is caused by a little of our world leaking into yours." A bunch of demons with wings that fly from behind them along with a griffon appearing near them and screeching.
"A griffon." Luz said. The griffon then throws up spiders. Luz, excited since she made her school project about griffon hurling spiders out of their mouths, added to what she said earlier with, "I knew it!"
"Yep, griffons, vampires, giraffes…" Eda said.
"Giraffes?" Luz said, confused at what Eda had just said.
As they landed Eda answered with, "Yep, we banished those guys years ago, bunch of freaks."
Once they landed, Eda got off her staff, however her hand was detached and was still on the staff. When Luz saw her severed hand still moving, she screamed and jumped off.
Eda grabbed it and said, "Oops, that happens sometimes." She then reattached her hand to her arm. Afterwards, she sees that her bag is glowing blue and buzzing.
"What, some stowaway in my ill-gotten loot?" Eda said.
She opened her bag and something quickly came out and headed towards Luz.
"Let me handle this, human." Eda said as she was about to swat it.
"Wait!" Luz said, which stopped Eda. She saw that it was Sparx who flew near her. "This is that dragon's companion, your name is Sparx right?" Sparx buzzed happily telling Luz that she got his name right. "You're looking a lot more blue than the last time we saw you."
"Human, you're forgetting something. If he is here, where is that dragon?" Eda said, wanting to know if Spyro was close by.
"Sparx!" Luz looked up and saw that the voice came from Spyro who had finally caught up. Nice to see you're ok! I thought I lost you, pal! Sparx then started buzzing in annoyance telling Spyro he should have watched more carefully next time. "Yeah, sure."
"Hey, dragon!" Eda said to Spyro. "How did you know where we were going?"
"Oh, I managed to see you two on that staff and tailed you both. It's a good thing you dropped this before you bolted." Spyro then showed the orb to Eda.
"I know that. It fell from the sky and hit my head out of nowhere. It looked valuable so I decided to keep it." Eda said, looking at the orb.
"One of my friends in Avalar said that they lost an orb in a portal. Nice to see you kept this." Spyro said as he gave Sparx the orb.
"Ahem, I know you two are busy talking, but I'm worried about your friend's condition. Is it serious?" Luz said to them.
Spyro looked at Sparx's blue glow and said, "Oh, that. It's nothing to worry about. All we need is to find some butterflies for him."
"I wouldn't recommend getting any here. The butterflies in the Boiling Isles are pretty demonic in their flavor." Eda said.
"There is another way. If we can find some fodder, I could charge or flame them to release a butterfly for Sparx.
Luz was confused by what Spyro had just said, but afterwards some bleating was heard. They all turned and saw some sheep behind them.
"What are those sheep doing here?" Luz said.
Spyro said to her, "Those are just any sheep, those are from the Dragon Realms back home. They must have gone in the portal as well." He then headed towards the sheep. The sheep fled when they saw him but he managed to toast one of them with his flame breath. Poof! A butterfly popped out. Sparx ate it and regained his yellow glow.
"Now there is something you don't see everyday, right, human?" Eda said to Luz who was a little petrified at what she saw.
"Well, after that, I had enough adventure for today." Luz said, terrified. "This is clearly not the PG fantasy I always dream about. So, can you help me get back home?"
Eda threw down her staff near Luz and said, "Only if you help me first!" Eda laughed and snorted while using magic to pick up her bag. "Now come along, human."
"Hey!" Spyro said with Eda and Luz looking at him and Sparx. "It looks like you two are about to go on an adventure. Mind if we join?"
"Sure, dragon. Just don't be a burden on us." Eda said with Spyro just shaking his head in annoyance.
They all head to a strange looking house. An owl with a demon face then flies around it.
"Aren't you worried about those guards finding us?" Luz said.
"Nope. My house has a state of the art defense system." Eda said, telling them about Hooty, the house demon that guards the house.
"Ha, those guards don't scare me! Bring them on! If they come here, I'll just kick their…" Before Spyro could finish his sentence, he notices Luz was nodding her head no on finishing what he was saying. This caused him to stop talking, much to his annoyance.
"Hoot-hoot, password please." Hooty said with Eda poking his eyes with her fingers.
"We don't have time for this, Hooty. Let us in!" Eda said who isn't interested in Hooty's games.
Hooty said to her, "Alright, alright, geez! You never let me have any fun! Ow! Hoot!" He then opened his mouth so wide that it filled the whole door. Eda and Luz went in with Eda putting her bag down outside.
Spyro, concerned, said, "Are you sure he won't just eat us when we go in there?"
"Sure as you're born, now come on in." Eda said.
Spyro and Sparx looked at each other before finally heading in with Hooty closing his mouth and burps.
"Welcome to…" Eda snapped her fingers. "…the Owl House." The room came alive with the fireplace turning on, A broom and a cauldron started moving on their own and a mural showing some sort of owl beast lit up. Luz is amused seeing this place. Spyro and Sparx, not so much since they've seen magic before. "…where I hide away from the pressure of modern life…also the cops and ex-boyfriends."
"This place is beautiful." Luz said as she put the Azura book on the table.
"It's something all right." Spyro said with Sparx buzzing slightly.
"Do you live here all alone?" She asked.
Huge footsteps are heard and are getting closer.
"Actually, I have a roommate." Eda told him.
"Get ready, Sparx! Looks like her partner in crime is about to come this way." Spyro said while getting to see what is coming closer to them.
A deep booming voice is heard. "Who dares intrude upon I…" The voice then reverts to what is supposed to sound. "…the King of Demons?" The voice came from none other than King, who looked like he took a bath, shown by his towel and rubber duck which he squeaks. Spyro and Sparx just looked at each other in disbelief after seeing that he was just a squirt, but Luz gasped with joy, her eyes widened, and was blushing.
She then said in Spanish, "Ay, que lindo!" She then ran to King and picked him up to hug him. "Eda, he is so cute! Who's the widdle guy? Who's the widdle guy? Is it you, it is you?" Luz then continued to hug him.
"No, I don't know who you little guy is!" King said while squirming.
Spyro then starts to laugh when he sees King getting hugged by Luz. "Hahaha! For a self proclaimed King of Demons, you sure don't look like one, especially if you're getting squeezed like a stuffed animal!" Sparx joined in and buzzed laughfully.
"Stop laughing at me, you peasants!" King then said to Eda while trying to pull away Luz. "Eda, who is this monster and that mocking duo?!"
Eda then grabbed Luz and pulled her away from King, "Oh, this is Luz the Human. She's here to help us in our little…situation. As for these two…"
Spyro said, "We are here because we had a vacation recently and were looking for another adventure and we heard that you three are going on one, so we decided to join in."
"Oh, hooray!" King said.
"Wait, wait, wait! I don't like the sound of this "situation"." Luz said.
"Why is that, you're scared of going into danger or something?" Spyro asked.
Luz told him, "No, it's not that. It's just that I just meant this witch and she wants me to do a favor before I can go home…"
"Just…let me explain." Eda creates a magic circle to tell about their situation. "King was once a mighty king of demons, until his crown of power was taken away and he became…this."
"You mean this little bundle of joy?" Luz said who is cutely hugging King again.
Eda continued with the story of their trouble to Luz, "The crown is being held by the evil Warden Wrath and locked away behind a magical force field that only a human can break through. A human like you." The circle then fades away. "If you help us retrieve his crown, we'll send you back to your realm. So, what do you say?" Eda then held up King. "Plus, who can say no to this cute face?"
"No! Don't encourage her!" King said with Eda dropping him.
"And to be honest, we kind of like your only way home." She said.
Spyro said, while looking at King and Luz, "So, let me get this straight. You're saying that his crown was taken by some bad guy and she has to go to his lair because only she can get through and get it?"
"You're right on that, you little purple firebreather!" Eda said.
"Ok, not a problem. We'll get your pet's crown, give this warden the old hotfoot, and me and Sparx will be back to the Dragon Realms by lunchtime!" Spyro said, who is getting cocky.
"I am not a pet! Why does that dragon keep mocking me?" King said while stomping adorably.
"So I don't really have a choice do I?" Luz said, concerned about what Eda want her to do.
"Nope! Now we have no time to lose!" Eda said while picking up Luz.
King said to his rubber duck while holding it, "Soon, Mr. Ducky, we shall drink the fear of those who mocked us!"
"Where are we going?" Luz said to Eda.
"Somewhere super fun." Eda said.
"Bet it that prison that guard said earlier." Spyro said to Sparx.
All of them made it to the Conformatorium. Thunder then claps around the dark, gloomy place.
"The Conformatorium, a place for those considered unsuitable to society." Eda said.
Luz saw Eda's wanted poster and grabbed it to take a better look. "Whoa, these guys really have the hots for you."
"Yep, but we were never caught, because we're too slippery." Eda said to her while winking.
"Just try to catch me while covered in grease. I'm a squirmy little fella." King then dropped down Luz's head. "You, I, the dragon, and the bug will sneak up to the top of the tower where they're holding my crown."
"And I'm gonna make sure the warden's distracted." Eda said
"This sounds like a bad plan, Sparx." Spyro said with Sparx buzzing in agreement.
Luz gasped and said while putting the poster in her bag, "Will I need a disguise?"
"Uh…" Eda said, stunned at what she just said.
"I've been waiting to use this." Luz then pulls up her hood and flicks her hood's cat ears while meowing twice.
"Um… Ok?" Spyro said, a little weird at seeing Luz using her hood as a disguise.
"It's hideous." King said.
"Oh, you'll fit right in." Eda said.
"Me and Sparx will head up there first." Spyro said while Sparx gave him the Superflight Orb. He used it and flew up to the tower.
"Ok, you two are up next." Eda said as she tapped the butt of her staff on the ground. It creates a round platform. "Hang on tight!" She then steps off the platform and controls the platform to the window of the tower to where Spyro and Sparx are. As soon as they got close, the platform evaporated which caused Luz to grab the window while King was clinging to her feet. Eda then tosses her staff, it hovers, and she sits on it to ride to the tower's peak. "Meet you guys at the top of the tower."
King climbs up Luz and makes it to the tower. Luz then climbs in, but falls flat on her face once inside.
"Nice to see you made a nice landing." Spyro said sarcastically to Luz while giving Sparx the orb.
"Ha-ha, Cats don't do that." King said.
Luz got up and gasped at the amount of prison cells, occupied by demons and beasts of different values.
Spyro looked at one of the cells and saw that the two sheep that ran off were in one of the cells.
"I wondered what happened to those sheep. Looks like those guards found them." Spyro said with the sheep looking in fear at him.
"Hey, we're not here to terrorize them, so leave them alone." Luz said while getting in front of Spyro.
"I wasn't going to toast them…not this time anyway." Spyro said.
A voice was then heard from one of the cells. "Hey, cat lady!" Luz turned and saw that it came from a witch named Katya. "How did you get out of your cell?"
"Oh, no, no, no. I'm not a cat." Luz said while pulling down her hood. "Also, I'm not a criminal."
"Not yet, you're not." King said to Luz.
Katya then told Luz, "Neither are we, but the stupid warden likes to lock people up that don't fit in. Like, I write fanfics of food falling in love." She then showed her books of the fanfics she is talking about. "I like food, I like love… Just let me write about it!"
In another cell, another prison told them how he ended up here. "I'm here because I like eating my own eyes." He then took one of his eyeballs and ate it. It then heads back to where he got it.
"We are agents of fwee expwession! They will never siwence us!" Tiny Nose said.
"And she is here because…" Spyro said while looking at Tiny Nose.
"She's really big on conspiracy theories." Katya said.
Tiny Nose then said, "The world is a simulation! We are playthings for a higher being!"
Luz said to them, "Wait, these aren't crimes. None of you actually did anything wrong." She gets Eda's wanted poster out of her bag. "You're all just a bunch of weirdos, like me."
Suddenly, loud thumping footsteps were heard and were getting closer to the cells.
Katya warns them with, "It's Warden Wrath! Hide!"
Luz exclaims, then heads towards an empty cell. Spyro and Sparx followed her and Luz pulled down the door. The footsteps grew louder and louder until the door opened, revealing Warden Wraith.
"I can hear you." Warden Wrath said. Luz looked at him in fear, but Spyro and Sparx didn't even flinch at his presence, "Just what are you fools whispering about?" The warden looked down and saw Eda's wanted poster, "Ah. The Owl Lady." He then picks it up, growls, then crumbles it by turning his fist into a hammer. He then slammed the cell Luz and the others were hiding with his morphed hammer. "I'll get my hands on her soon enough."
Warden Wrath looks into the cell he slammed with his hammer arm. While Luz and King were cowering, Spyro was about to attack him, until Luz stopped him from spotting them by grabbing one of his wings. Spyro looks back as sees Luz nodded at him telling him not to attack him. Spyro just looked at her with an annoyed expression.
"Fight against the oppwesser! We will wesist! We will conquer! We will pwevail! We will never be afwaid of you, you old cweep!" Tiny Nose said to the warden. Warden changed back his hand to normal then dropped the poster. He then opened Tiny Nose's cell. Hooway! I'm fwee! She said, until Warden grabs her like a squeaky toy.
"Let her example be a lesson to all of you. There's no place in society for you if you can't fit in." Warden Wraith said while showing Tiny Nose. He tightened his grip on her to prove his point. He then stomps off while crumpling Eda's poster one last time with his foot. The door slams and Luz finally lets go of Spyro's wing. She then opened the cell door.
"Why did you stop me? I could have taken care of that guy without breaking a sweat!" Spyro told Luz.
"Didn't you see what he just did?" Luz said who is trying to talk some sense into Spyro.
"He turned his hand into a hammer, so what?" Spyro said, still not convinced that he wouldn't defeat the warden.
"What if you couldn't beat him? We could have ended up getting captured ourselves due to your bravado!" Luz said, slightly shouting her last sentence.
"Also, we are here to get my source of power, my crown, not to see you have a battle to the death!" King said.
Spyro thought about it for a second, then he said, "You two do have a point. Fine, we'll do it your way."
"Good, Now we got that settled, let free the prisoners." Luz said as she headed to Katya's cell. "Don't worry, I can get you out." She tries to pull the lever to free her, but fails. "No, my weak nerd arms!"
"Here, let me try." Spyro said. He put both his claws on the lever and tried to pull the lever, but his efforts were in vain. "Ugh, I can't budge it! It's too heavy! No wonder he can use this so easily."
"Just get out of here while you still can, kid. Enjoy freedom for us." Katya said to Luz.
Luz then walks out of the cells, reluctantly with Spyro and Sparx following her. They then walk through a hallway.
"Don't worry, we'll find a way to free them." Spyro said to her with Luz still looking down.
Eda appeared and said, "Hey, I just checked…" She then got off her staff. "…the warden is distracted, tormenting some creature. He won't be here anytime soon."
Luz just kept walking. She doesn't want to talk about what Eda had just said.
"What's eating at her?" She said to Spyro.
"It's about some prisoners we found when we got in." Spyro told her.
Luz stopped near a large door that says, "Contraband".
"My crown! It's close! Behind this door! I can sense its power!" King said as he jumped on the door's doorknob and fiddled with it.
"Aw, he's so cute when he's thirsty for power." Eda said.
Luz finally talks to Eda about the prisoners, "Those prisoners, it just isn't fair that they're in here. They just want to be themselves. Why does everyone think being a weirdo is so bad?"
King tossed the doorknob on the ground. He pushed the door and ran in. Spyro and Sparx went in next.
"Come on before they hurt themselves." Eda said with a zap being heard not long after.
Inside, a large glowing pillar of a green light is shown in the center of the room. King is rubbing his head after charging at it. He charged again at it only to be pushed back.
"Not a bad charge. Let me check it out." Spyro then charged, but was also pushed back as well. He then starts talking to Eda. "You were right about this. I can't get through either."
"Yes, but remember, we have a human. She can get through this." Eda told them.
Everyone looked at Luz who took a deep breath then placed her hand on the pillar. She was able to get through and see a pile of junk. On top of it was a glow in the shape of a crown. "Wait a second. Is that a…"
Luz came out of the pillar holding a paper crown. She was really frustrated.
"A paper crown. This is his source of power?" Spyro said, He then sighs with Sparx buzzed in disappointment.
"My crown!" Luz then gives King his crown who puts it on his head. "Yes, yes! I can feel my powers returning! You there, nightmare critter!" King points to a stuffed rabbit and holds it. "I will call you Francois and you shall be my minion in my army of darkness. Ha-ha!"
"That crown doesn't give him any powers does it?" Luz said.
"Isn't that obvious? Of course, it doesn't give him any powers!" Spyro answered what Luz had just said.
Luz glares at Eda in annoyance.
"Oh, look at us, Luz. King and I don't have much in this world and only have each other. So, if that dumb crown is important to him, it's important to me, and besides, us weirdos have to stick together, you know?" Eda said, winking at Luz when saying those last two words.
Luz starts to grin while blushing.
"While it is nice to see you two having a moment, shouldn't we get out of here before "The Scary Warden" finds us?" Spyro said, being sarcastic about how scary the warden is.
Eda said to Luz, "He's right. We do owe you one, so let's get out of here before the warden finds us and loses his head."
"Too late." Warden Wraith said who had snuck up behind Eda.
He quickly turned his hand into a blade and decapitated Eda. Luz ends up grabbing her head and screams. Her face starts to look dead until, "Ow, oh I hate it when that happens." This causes Luz to scream even louder.
Still freaked out, Luz said, "Eda, are you ok?"
"Yeah, this just happens when you get older." Eda said.
"Does it?" She said.
"Nah, this realm must be full of head losing witches." Spyro said, cracking a joke. This causes Eda to angrily look at him.
While changing his hand back, Warden Wrath said to Eda, "Finally, I have you cornered, Eda, the Owl Lady." He then grabbed King's crown, who screamed "Weh?" when he took it. Eda's body ends up crawling around the floor. "My guards can never catch you, but I knew if I took your pet's toy you'd come running." He then crumbled the crown.
"No! My power!" King said, sobbing.
"What do you want with me? I never actually broke any of your stupid laws…in front of you." Eda said to him.
"I want you…to go out with me." Warden Wraith said, who is now holding a bouquet of flowers.
"Wha?" Eda said in confusion.
"What?" Luz said in disgust.
Spyro and Sparx just looked in confusion at what he just said to her.
"Go, boss!" Coven guard #2 said.
Coven guard #1 give two thumbs up to the warden who gave a thumbs up back.
"You've always managed to escape and eluded our capture. You always were the one who got away. I found that alluring." He said to Eda, trying to woo her.
"I hate everything you're saying right now." Luz said who is still appalled at what the warden is saying to Eda.
Spyro added, "Yeah, you must be off your rocker if you think you have a ghost of a chance with her, Needlenose."
"Both of you, stay out of this!" Warden Wrath said while throwing the bouquet of flowers away. He then turned his hand into tentacles to grab them. Spyro dodge rolled out of the way while Luz was caught which forced her to drop Eda's head. She was then held above the ground unable to free herself. Warden Wrath grabbed Eda by her hair. "So how about it, Owl Lady? The most powerful witch of the Boiling Isles and the feared Warden Wrath. We'd be the strongest power couple ever. I mean, it's-it's not like you can say no right now."
"Oh, I have her answer right…" Before Spyro can do anything, his tail was caught by the foot of Coven Guard #1, keeping him from interfering.
Eda looks at Luz who is trying get out of the warden tentacles, then she looks at King who is was captured by Coven Guard #2 and struggle to break free. She then sighs.
"Alright, Warden. You win. I'd just like to say something first. Come closer." The warden got a little closer. "No, just come a little bit closer." He got a bit more closer. "Just…" He got even more closer. "Yeah, that's good." Eda then blows a raspberry at him which causes him to let go of Luz so that he can wipe his mask. Eda just laughed at what he did to him.
"Impudent wretch! Do you have any idea how many germs are in your mouth right now? Blegh!" Warden Wrath, disgusted at Eda blowing a raspberry at him.
"Get over it! You have your guards stalk and try to apprehend me and then you sneak up behind me and chop off my head like it was nothing! I am not going out with you!" Eda said, rejecting the warden's offer.
"So it's denial, isn't it? Then, you have given me no choice but to dest…" Warden Wrath was cut off talking by Luz, who banged his head with Eda's staff. He fell down to the floor which got him to let go of Eda's head.
"Nice!" Eda said, liking what Luz had just done.
Sparx then staring buzzing around Coven Guard #1 who tries to swat him away. This caused him to let go of Spyro's tail. Once he was free, Spyro flamed his foot which caused him to fall over in pain. Eda's body pull Coven Guard #2 hood over his eyes.
"Ok, we're going now!" Luz said as she grabbed Eda's head, body, and King.
"Time to fly, Sparx!" Spyro said with Sparx giving Spyro the Superfly Orb. Spyro and Sparx fly but they both stopped when they see that the others haven't escaped yet.
"Expecto…flying? Magicus…escapicus?!" Luz said, trying to tell the staff to fly away.
Spyro just put his claw on his head at Luz's attempts to use Eda's staff.
"Hurry up, who knows when Needlenose gonna wake up!" Spyro told them.
Eda looked back at the warden who was getting up and angrier than ever. She then looked back at her staff and said to it, "Gun it, magic stick!"
The staff then flew out while dashing through Spyro and Sparx.
"Time to get outta here! Spyro said to Sparx as both head out, following Luz, Eda, and King.
Finally on his feet, Warden Wrath said, "Eda the Owl Lady, I won't let you get away again!" He then turned both his arms into tentacles to catch up with the others.
Back at the cells, everyone flew off with the warden in hot pursuit.
Luz, seeing the same levers, said while lifting her hand, "Eda, lend me a hand!" Eda then places her hand in front of Luz's. This allows them to open the cells of the three prisoners, freeing them which includes the two sheep. They all then came out an outer door high in The Conformatorium, hitting two coven guards blocking the door. The warden is still on their tail, front flipping as they head down.
"Man, this guy just won't quit!" Spyro said.
Warden Wrath extended his left tentacles to the staff's butt, which launched Luz, Eda, and King off of it. It then hit Spyro which caused him to drop the orb and caused Sparx to turn blue again. They all crashed on the ground while the warden, getting them right where he wanted them, turned his hand into blades again.
"Ow, my bones!" King said, hurt during the crash landing.
Eda's body grabbed her head and they reattached. She then said, "Luz…" She grabbed the portal key from her hair and gave it to Luz. "…go back to the Human Realm." She ran towards the warden.
"What about you guys?" Luz asked them.
Spyro, who got up, said to Luz, "Don't worry about us! Just escape back home while you still can!" He and Sparx then charge towards the warden.
"If you think this guy is bad, you should have seen her last boyfriend!" King said while following Eda and while looking back at Luz.
"Not my boyfriend!" Eda said while grabbing King to avoid getting smashed by the Warden's blades.
"But-But I…" Luz said, stuttering.
Luz was cut off by Eda who grabbed her staff and put Luz on it.
"Go, go!" Eda said while slapping the bottom of her staff which sent it and Luz flying.
Spyro used his flame breath on Warden Wrath but he just blocked it with his transformed blade hand. He was surprised his flame just bounced off his transformed arms.
"You purple pest! That puny spark of yours is supposed to be a flame breath? Let me show you what it really looks like!" The warden removed his mask and showed his monstrous face. He then fired a powerful flame from his mouth that nearly hit Spyro, but Eda used a magic circle to capture the flame and another to send it right back at him which pushed him and hit a wall of The Conformatorium.
"I've gotta admit, Your lover's flames make mine look like a smokescreen, but that doesn't mean he's better than me!" Spyro said to her.
"He's not my…ugh, just hold him back!" Eda said, getting angry about Spyro and King saying that she's dating the warden.
Luz, who almost fell off of the staff, looked back down at the hole created by Warden Wrath crashing into the wall. He quickly got back on his feet and started attacking again. The three prisoners stick their heads out the hole. The sheep quickly hopped away and headed out of The Conformatorium. Luz sees the prisoners and drops down near them.
Luz asked them, "Why are you guys just standing there? This is your chance to escape!"
"The warden will catch us, he always does." The Eyeball-Eating Monster said.
"We belong here." Katya said.
"Self-doubt is a pwison you can never escape fwom." Tiny Nose said with the other prisoners agreeing.
"Sure, you have a weird way of doing and seeing things, but despite doing that might make you weird, it also makes you awesome. Don't you see?" Luz said.
"Why are you helping us?"
She continued with, "Because us weirdos have to stick together!" Luz said she pulled up her hood and got on Eda's staff. "And no one should be punished for what they are!" The prisoners started cheering at Luz's speech. "Now let's get 'em!" Luz and the prisoners then head to Warden Wrath who had just tossed Eda and King near a wall with no way to escape.
Spyro tried to attack him from behind with his flame breath, but the warden grabbed him, and tossed him aside like he was nothing. When he hits the wall, Sparx changes color to a green faded glow.
"This is not going as well as we hoped, Sparx." Spyro said with Sparx buzzing slightly. Warden Wrath continues walking towards Eda and King. "Now I can see why she told me not to fight him earlier. If only I had my Superflame breath…"
"No more running away and hiding, Owl Lady. Today, I capture you once and for all!" Warden Wraith said with his blade arms ready to strike.
King closed their eyes and covered his face, whimpering at what the warden was going to do to them, until Luz and the prisoners made a b-line towards Warden Wrath.
"Go, go, go, go!" Luz said to the prisoners, who were screaming and attacking the warden.
"Luz?" Eda said, surprised at seeing Luz back.
Sparx then buzzes around Spyro telling him Luz and the prisoners are attacking the warden.
"Unbelievable! She has no powers whatsoever, but she managed to get those prisoners to fight back! Who would have thought?" Spyro said.
"I eat my own eyes!" The Eye-Eating Monster shouted.
"I think the world is a twiangle!" Tiny Nose shouted.
"And I practice the ancient art of fanfiction!" Katya shouted.
Tiny Nose and Katya hold Warden Wrath down while the Eye-Eating Monster ties up his tentacle arms and flips him on his stomach so that he can see Luz.
"You! Who do you think you are?" Warden Wraith said to Luz with his mouth on fire.
While pointing at Warden Wrath, Luz announced who she was to him, "Do not underestimate me, Warden Wrath! For I am Luz the human, warrior of peace." She holds her pose for a second while the wind blows her hair. "Now eat this, sucka!" She grabs her fireworks from her bag, tosses it up into the air and hits it with Eda's staff. It went directly into the warden's flaming mouth which caused the fireworks to ignite and go off, causing fireworks in the air. Humiliated, he ran back to The Conformatorium while fireworks were still going off in his mouth. The prisoners cheer at the warden's defeat. Spyro then heads towards Luz, Eda, and King with Sparx heading towards the Superfly orb to grab it.
"Wow, after all the trouble we had to slow him down, fireworks were the thing that caused him to cower? What a wuss!" Spyro said, taunting the warden.
"You know, that was actually one of her better break-ups." King said.
"Not a break-up." Eda said to King. "Now, let's bounce before any more monsters fall in love with me."
They then fly away back to The Owl House with fireworks still going off for The Coformatorium Grounds.
Back at the Owl House, Eda put her staff near her couch and said to Luz, "Well, a deal's a deal. Let's get you home." She snapped her fingers, causing the portal key to fly out of Luz's bag and in her hand. She then presses the key's button, which causes the portal to the human realm to appear from behind Luz. She only took a few steps while hugging herself then she looked back at Eda, King, Spyro and Sparx. King was noticeably sad. He's just gotten used to her and she is leaving them already.
"Before I go…" Luz grabbed the head of her Azura doll from her bag and took off its crown. "…I know it's not the same, but a king should be without a crown." She gives the tiny crown to King, who puts it on his head.
"This…shall suffice." King said. "You there, plant! You are now under my command!" King then marched towards the plant while pointing at it.
Eda grabs Luz's Azura book and says, "Oh, and don't forget this." She gives it to Luz who sees the pamphlet to the summer camp her mom wants her to go to. While walking towards the portal, she put the pamphlet under her book. When she stops moving and looks at the mirror above the fireplace. She put her book in front of her to see the cover. The cover which showed Azura, an elderly witch, and a creature is similar to why she see in the mirror, Herself, Eda and King. This allows her to smile brightly. Both Spyro and Sparx were wondering what Luz saw in that mirror that caused her mood to change from gloomy to cheerful.
Luz turned around and said to Eda, "Okay, I know you got your head cut off, and we started a prison riot, but this is the most fun i've ever had." Eda just blinked in surprise at what she heard. "I don't fit in at home, you don't fit in here. If I stay, we could not fit it together."
"Excuse me, I don't want to butt into your conversation, but what are you talking about?" Spyro said to her.
Luz told Spyro and Sparx, "To make a long story short, I got in trouble in school multiple times for my weirdness, so my mom wants me to go to summer camp to learn to separate fantasy to reality." She then showed Spyro and Sparx the pamphlet. She looks at it one more time then crumples it. "And I'm not going back there."
Eda chuckles then said, "School, summer camp, what are we talking about here?"
"I want to stay and become a witch, like you, and Azura!" Luz said to Eda while showing the book to her again.
"What?" Eda said with a laugh. "You must be joking! What you're saying right now is completely crazy!" She pushed Luz's book down. "Humans can't become witches."
"Maybe, because they haven't tried." Luz said, winking. "If you teach me to become a witch, I'll do anything you want."
"Let her stay! She can make us snacks." King said, whispering that last sentence.
Eda then picks King up while saying, "Well, I could use a hand keeping this goofball out of the cupboards. All right. I'll teach you how to be a witch, but you have to work for me before you learn any spells, deal?" She then holds out her hand to Luz, but instead of giving her a handshake, Luz smiles and starts to hug them both.
"Gah! What are you doing? Are you trying to squeeze us to death?" Eda said, not knowing what a hug is.
"Too tight, too tight!" King said, getting squeezed.
"Ha-ha, those two don't even know what a hug is!" Spyro said to Sparx who buzzed in laughter.
Suddenly, Hooty opens the door. "Hoot-hoot! Eda, there's something you need to see outside!"
"Not now, Hooty! Can you see I'm busy with her…whatever this is?" Eda said about Luz's hug.
"Okay, fine! But don't say I didn't warn you about the glowing arch that just appeared out of nowhere in front of me! Sheesh!" Hooty said in annoyance.
"Wait a minute, did you say glowing arch?" Spyro said "I got to check this out!" He and Sparx quickly headed outside. Luz stopped hugging Eda and King to check outside as well.
They all saw a glowing doorway was right in front of them, just like what Hooty said. A name was shown in front of it, "Return Home". The two sheep that escaped The Conformatorium hopped into the portal and went inside. Afterwards, a blue butterfly came out of it. Sparx went towards and eats it, regaining his yellow glow.
"Ok, what is that doing here?" Eda said.
"I know. It's a portal back to the Dragon Realms. Back to where I came from." Spyro told her.
"You're going to head back home?" Luz asked him, a bit sad that he might be leaving.
Spyro said to her, "Yeah, unlike you, I actually fit back home, and everyone is going to miss me back in the Dragon Realms." He then looked at Eda. He still doesn't trust her fully. "Plus, I don't think it is a good idea to stay with a witch like her."
"Hey!" Eda said to him.
"But, I'll come and visit from time to time to see how you're doing here, so don't worry about it." Sparx buzzed to Luz that he would join Spyro in visiting her.
While Luz had no idea what Sparx had said, she smiled and was about to get Spyro a hug, until he said. "No thanks, neither me or Sparx want a hug. Just saying goodbye will be fine."
Luz, a little annoyed, said, "Sure, just don't forget about us, okay?"
"After what we went through, I think we won't forget about this. In fact we're going to tell the other dragons back home about everything I've seen. See Ya!" Spyro said. He and Sparx then head into the portal, returning back to Artisans.
Later at night, Luz, who is now wearing pajamas, opens a door to a storage room to sleep. She unraveled a sleeping bag and jumped on it. She looked in her back and held a picture of her and her mom, Camilla. Her phone then buzzed which caused her to pick it up and turn it on. It showed a text her mom sent saying how things are at summer camp. King then comes in with Francois and clears his throat to get Luz's attention.
"Your sleep cocoon looks fluffy." He said.
Luz patted her sleeping bag telling King to join. He got on and curled up below her feet and started to sleep. Luz then looked at her phone again and texted, "I think I'm gonna like it here".
She then puts her phone down, turns to her side, and falls asleep. Outside, The Owl House blinks with its glass-stained eye.
