Chapter 1
"You can't be a witch without magic. You should just give up," Those words rang throughout Luz's mind as she had run away from the Owl House as Eda told her the harsh truth.
Luz had felt betrayed as she yelled at Eda that she was a terrible person and that she should drop dead before she had run out of the Owl House. As Luz ran further into the woods, she had come across an abandoned ship at a dock. She walked onto the ship, and that was when she heard someone coughing, when she walked down the stairs to where she heard the voice came from.
That was when she saw him, an elderly man who looked like he was on his last leg. When Luz approached him, he spoke, "Who's there," said the man in a dry, raspy voice. "Ummm, Sir, are you okay," asked Luz, who was concerned if this man was okay.
"No, I'm not, I'm dying," said the man. "Mind if I lament my crushed dreams to you before you die," said Luz as she had tears in her eyes. "What's wrong, kid?" asked the man. "I asked the owl lady if I could be a witch without magic, and she said no. After what I did for her," complained Luz. This made the man feel sorry for her he then thought of something. "What if I told you that there is a way for you to gain magic," said the man.
This made Luz raise an eyebrow. "Really," said Luz, hopeful that this wasn't a trick. "Yes, I, Marshall D. Teach can give you my powers if you accept," said Teach. This made Luz almost cry, "I accept your power," said Luz as she held out her hand. Teach, in his last breath, transfered his powers to Luz. Just then Luz felt a surge of power flow through her as she finally got a way to be a witch. She was about to thank Teach when she realized that he was dead. She then decided to steal what money he had left on him, and stole his diary.
She soon found out by reading his diary that Teach was a Pirate known as Blackbeard that could create darkness and earthquakes. That was when Luz decided that she was going to be the worst criminal that the Isles had seen. She then burned Teach's diary so no one could discover the secret of her newfound powers.
"This realm will know my name, Zehahahaha," cackled Luz.
