It was a bright and sunny day in the Boiling Isles. The birds were chirping, the fire bees were buzzing, and the horrible sea dwelling creature rose from the waters to give a friendly greeting to those who were fortunate enough to see him. Today was an important day for more than one reason as King was working frantically in the kitchen. It had been a few days since they managed to defeat Belos and expose his true plans to the citizens. There was some pushback, but people had finally opened their eyes to the truth, and now peace was returned to the Isles. And when that new peace was obtained, King received a message that both shocked and amazed him. The residents of the Owl House were getting ready to have some important guests over, and none were more nervous than King as he prepared the dishes for their little feast.

Luz walked into the kitchen, dressed in her Grom Night attire. La Lechuza was perched on her right shoulder, her silver feathers looking more shiny than usual.

"Huh, wow, you two look great!" King exclaimed happily.

"Well, considering today was such an important occasion, I decided to put in the extra effort," the Owl Phantom replied.

Luz snorted as she chuckled. "By 'effort' do you mean when I used the Illusion ring to give you a shinier look, per your request?"

La Lechuza pecked the side of Luz's head.

"Ow!"

"It is my mana that gives you the power to do that, so by extension, yes, I did put in effort," La Lechuza corrected.

Luz rolled her eyes as she approached the kitchen table, checking out the spread of food that King had prepared and marveling at his work.

"Wow, King, this looks great," Luz commented.

King looked back at his work with a nervous expression. The little demon was still unsure of his culinary work. "Thanks. I-I hope they like it too."

Luz smiled at her little brother and went over to pat him on the head. "Don't worry, they're going to. And they'll love you."

"You've been waiting for this moment for a long time now, chico. We've fought many hard battles to obtain this peace so that this could happen."

"I know. I'm just nervous is all," King admitted.

"We'll be right here with you, me, Lala, Hooty, and Eda."

Just then a knock came at the front door.

"Hooty hoot! We have visitors!" the house demon announced.

King gasped as he looked up at Luz and La Lechuza, exclaiming, "They're here!"

Eda was already at the front door, dressed in the suit she wore when she chaperoned the Grom Night dance, and with Owlbert perched on her left shoulder. The Owl Lady opened the door, and then turned her gaze downward as she saw someone who looked a lot like King. Only with a fedora hat, a collar and tag like King's, green eyes, and a mustache. But he wasn't alone. On his right another demon made themselves known. It resembled King when he was younger, but this one had purple-colored eyes. The second appeared on the bigger one's left, but instead had green eyes this one's eyes were purple. Both small demons had collars that matched their respective eyes, along with similar gold-colored tags. The Owl Lady stood aside and allowed their guests entry as she led them to the kitchen.

"Welcome to the Owl House, folks. Hope this place wasn't too hard to find," said Eda.

"Not at all. Thank you for having us," replied the mustached demon.

King rushed towards the mustached demon and gave him a hug as he cried out, "King of Dads! You made it!"

After their hug, King of Dads smiled warmly at his child. "Of course we did. We wouldn't have missed this for the world, son. I'm so happy we saw that video of yours, but with all the Phantoms and other things happening, we weren't sure if it was time to reach out yet or not."

"I get it, things were dangerous at the time, but not anymore since we kicked Belos' butt!" King rejoiced.

"Here, here. Now, maybe after dinner we can have a nice game of catch," King of Dads offered.

"Really?" King practically squealed.

"You bet 'cha. Oh, where are my manners, meet your siblings. Prince of Brothers," King of Dads gestured to the smaller green-eyed demon, "Prince of Sisters," and then to the purple eyed demon, "do you have something to say to your big bro?"

The two little demons rushed towards King, embracing him as they cheered, "Big brother!"

King hugged them back. While he did regard Luz as his big sister, it was nice to also have little siblings as well, ones that looked like him. After hugging them, King waved his claw to the table where everyone else was waiting, along with Hooty and the echo mouse.

"King of Dads, Prince of Sisters, Prince of Brothers, this is my other family. My big sister Luz, and her 'guardian', La Lechuza, or Lala for short," King introduced.

"For the record, I only allow Luz and her companions to call me that. But for today, you may address me by that name," La Lechuza explained.

"Don't mind her, she's happy to have you here," Luz clarified.

King then waved his paw towards Eda. "And you know Eda the Owl Lady, who, ahem, has also been like my mom. My owl mom."

"Again, thank you for looking after my boy, Ms. Clawthorne," King of Dads gratefully bowed upon saying that.

"Eh, don't worry about it. King can be a little stinker, but he's like the son I never had," Eda replied.

"And last but not least, Hooty, Owlbert, and the echo mouse."

Owlbert hooted while giving a tip of his top hat towards the demon family.

"Hoot! It's so nice to finally meet King's demon family," Hooty stated.

The echo mouse chittered in agreement.

"Please, have a seat. Your Honorable Mr. Dr. King of Dads," said Luz. "King prepared a special feast for you all."

"Hungry!" the twin demons exclaimed as they ran for the table.

Luz squished her face as she uttered, "¡Oh, ellos son tan preciosos! (Oh, they are just precious!)" Luz gushed.

King of Dads chuckled as he approached the table. "Patience children. It would be rude not to give thanks first."

King took his place at the head of the table and raised his hand. "Oh! Oh! I can start!" After clearing this throat, King began. "I'm thankful that my demon family finally got to meet my owl family. Seriously, thi-this is amazing. It's almost like…"

The little demon stopped as he took a moment to look upon his two families and realized the truth in that moment.

"…a dream."

"King…?"

"King? King, come on, it's time to wake up," Eda urged.

King, who had been sleeping in the hallway, startled awake as he whipped his head back frantically. "What's going on? Is there trouble?"

"Well, we're about to find out," Eda answered.

The Owl Lady got up and moved towards the archway that led to the living room. King got up as well and stood next to Eda as they both gazed upon Luz. She was sitting at the foot of the coffee table, her eyes downcast as La Lechuza looked up at her from the table with concern.

"Luz is ready to talk…"

It took a while, but Luz had finally finished her rendition of what happened while she and Hunter were trapped in Belos – Philip's mind. Luz felt like she needed to tell them everything, she didn't know what would happen next, and just in case, they needed to know the truth of what was really happening. Of whom they were truly dealing with. She went into detail about their memory hopping during the days of the "Savage Ages" to the reveal of the Palismen spirits, Philip's origins, his killing of his older brother for loving a witch, using Grimwalkers to prolong his life, killing different iterations of the Golden Guard that were made to look like his murdered brother, her hand in bringing all this to pass, and of course…the biggest reveal.

Understandably, Eda, Hooty, and King were shocked to learn that the Dark Rider that Luz and Amity fought against was in fact Belos himself, having used the power of a Phantom to create an artificial Philosopher's Stone. And then there was the Collector, a being that gave Belos the knowledge of how to practically commit mass genocide of all the witches and demons on the Boiling Isles in one fell swoop.

For years the people of the Isles have been living under the thumb of a liar, a false prophet, bigot, and a murderer. All these years they let him use them, move them around like little chess pieces to help him bring about their own end.

Currently, Luz was still sitting at the foot of the coffee table, a mug of hot chocolate in her hands, with a blanket draped over her. She was surrounded by a small army of cute animal plushies. On the coffee table were some pencil sketches of what she saw and heard while in Belos' mind to better help illustrate her story.

When Luz was done fully explaining the situation, Eda took a deep, strained breath as she said, "This…is a lot to take in."

"Eda, we don't have time to take anything in!" Luz retorted. "We-We have to stop Belos! I-I was a part of his plan! It's my fault that everyone on the Boiling Isles is in danger! I fell for everything! I…I'm supposed to be a protector, but I ended up bringing about destruction!"

Eda could see that Luz was in a spiral. "King, Hooty. You know what to do."

Without reply, King and Hooty moved away from the couch. Luz was wrapped up by Hooty in his way of hugging her, while King hugged Luz's left leg, both demons doing their best to comfort the still traumatized Latina.

"So, all this is real then?" Eda asked.

"Unfortunately, it is. That creature has been planning this for centuries, and now he's close to bringing about his ultimate goal," La Lechuza informed.

Eda sighed. "One thing's for sure. People can tell when you've been inside their head. It's only a matter of time before Belos sends his Scouts here. Heck. He might even send some of his Coven Phantoms to do the deed. And right now, you're not in the right mindset to get into a big fight. For now, I think you should hide."

Luz furrowed her brow as she clenched her fists. "I am not hiding! I am going to stop Belos from completing the Draining Spell! I helped bring about this problem, so now I'm going to fix it! Because that's what Kamen Riders do!"

"And how do you plan on doing that?" Eda inquired.

"I…I'm still working on that," Luz confessed.

"Edalyn!"

"LULU!" Hooty exclaimed joyfully.

Just then, Lilith barged into the Owl House, with Owlbert on her shoulder. Upon hearing her voice, Hooty immediately jerked his body in that direction, which unfortunately made him tighten his hold on Luz, and made her experience what it was like for prey animals when they were squeezed by a boa constrictor.

"I came as fast as I could. Owlbert filled me in on the Draining Spell. Oh, Titan, I can't believe this is what the Day of Unity was about this whole time," Lilith lamented. "Ugh! I was such a fool, a dolt, a chum, a–!"

"Hey, no pity parties in this house!" Eda interrupted. "Besides, Luz is upset enough as it is."

To make the point, Luz turned around and showed her tear-filled eyes and whimpering lips at Lilith.

"Y-You're right. Forgive me. I'll do anything to help. It's the least I can do for my role in helping that monster," said Lilith.

"Lulu!" Hooty stretched himself closer to Lilith, pushing his face against her right cheek as he did. "I am so happy to see you I could – I could–!"

Suddenly, Hooty's body began to rumble. Luz managed to get free of the worm demon just as a large bulge started to make its way through his tube body. Unfortunately, King was on top of Hooty when this happened and was forced to ride the wave of whatever was travelling through the house demon's body.

"Oh, oh, here it comes!" Hooty warned.

The mass of whatever was inside of him eventually reached his head as it built up at the back of his throat. King was flung off Hooty's head and landed on the floor just as the house demon retched, throwing up a pile of assorted items that King was buried under. There were also a few ghosts that flew up and screeched, "We're free!" before floating away.

"Ugh! Gross!" Luz exclaimed.

Lilith shook her head in dismay. "Oh, my word."

"Hooty, you gotta stop eating garbage from the ground," Eda admonished.

"Yet again, you continue to unsettle me even more than before," La Lechuza commented.

However, inside the pile of garbage, King found something. A black envelope with gold lettering that read "to King".

"Weh! He's also been eating our mail! Look," said King as he broke free from the pile.

King opened the letter that was addressed to him, as he did, a stone fragment fell out of the paper and into his left claw. Afterward, he began reading the letter aloud.

"'Dear King Clawthorne, if you wish to know who you truly are, come to this location and meet our warrior clan.'"

King's eyes widened. Could this really be it? The answer to his video message he made weeks ago.

"Guys…I think they might be my family!" King exclaimed. "And maybe they're an answer to all our problems!"

Luz smiled as she sat on her knees in front of King. "That's incredible, but how is it supposed to help us with Belos?"

"They're a clan of warriors! How else do you defeat a tyrant with their own army? By making an army of your own!" King explained.

Eda and Lilith sat on the long couch, contemplating King's idea.

"Well, it's not like we have many allies," Lilith reminded.

"It would give us an advantage overall. Belos will no doubt use his Coven Phantoms if push comes to shove. Those we can deal with, but his army of ignorant grunts will just add more difficulty. If we have this warrior clan on our side, we can start making a move against him sooner rather than later," La Lechuza surmised.

"Not to mention, it's a chance for King to find out where he came from! Two birds with one stone!" Luz exclaimed. "I say let's go for it!"

Eda's mind was running rampant with all the bad things this entailed. There was so much going on, so much bad stuff that was about to fall on them, and somehow it was up to a young fourteen-year-old girl – two of them – to stop all of this. This wasn't what a girl Luz's age should be doing, none of this was.

Lilith watched Eda, realizing that her little sister was holding back. She could clearly tell that Eda wanted to say more to Luz, and it wasn't hard to figure out what that something was.

"King, Luz, why don't you two get ready to go," said Lilith.

"What?!" Eda exclaimed.

"It couldn't hurt to check things out. This might be beneficial not just for King but for our confrontation with Belos. And, as a bonus, you two would be taken far, far away from the Boiling Isles according to that map. If Emperor Belos tries to come for you, you won't even be here for him to catch off guard. We know he has control of the Coven Phantoms, so he'll most likely use the Coven Scouts to avoid the masses from learning he has command of the monsters," Lilith explained.

"Ah, I see. We'll throw him off kilter. The last thing he'll suspect is us coming back with a potential fighting force against him. He fears Luz the most, and if he can't find her to take her out of the equation, it might slow down his preparations as well," La Lechuza speculated.

Lilith nodded in agreement. "Indeed. We need to make our moves ahead of him before he can get ahead of us."

"Hold on, hold on!" Eda interjected. "What if something goes wrong? Luz may have her Rider powers, but if they're caught off guard, they'll be helpless."

Lilith smiled as she moved towards the open door where Hooty was. "The solution is simple, my dear sister. Hooty could accompany them. Their safety would be your responsibility, my dear, brave Hootsifer."

The bird tube stretched out from the door with tears in his eyes as he bowed before Lilith. "I will protect these silly children with my life!"

Lilith responded with a curtsey to the house demon.

"Yeah, well, how – how would they even get there?" Eda inquired.

"Easy," Luz answered. "We'll use my Witch Speeder! We'll fly out to that island in no time flat."

"Hmm, I'd suggest laying low. Can you think of any other ways?" Lilith asked.

Luz hummed for a moment and then snapped her fingers. "Actually, I think I know who to talk to for this!"

King climbed onto Luz and added, "Yes! Think about it! Belos won't be able to withstand a whole army of mes! Bigger, older, and stronger versions of me! Who have been trained in the ways of the warrior!"

"Such allies would be quite valuable," Lilith added.

"I'm buzzing with excitement for this plan. It's time to take down a tyrant," La Lechuza giddily stated.

"Does anyone else feel that marching around the edge of the forest?" Hooty asked.

"Fine, you can go. We'll find out all we can on our end to create a plan for, uh, when you get back," Eda relented.

"Thank you, Eda!" Luz and King rushed to Eda and hugged her tight. "We won't let you down!"

"Let's pack for the trip!" King suggested as the two scampered away upstairs.

"Wait for meeeee!" Hooty yelled as he hopped after them in his Porta-Hooty backpack.

Lilith sat back down next to Eda as she said, "You know you made the right choice, don't you? Plus, I've explored that area. There is nothing of note. Whoever wrote that letter was sending them on a wild 'Luz' chase." Lilith began cracking up at her own joke.

However, the laughter was cut short as Eda started breaking down into a crying fit.

"Oh, no, no, no! Don't cry! Oh, the joke wasn't that bad, was it?" Lilith asked in concern.

"Oh, this is so much bigger than I imagined, Lily!" Eda confessed. "I though Luz was just some lost kid, but because of me she's wrapped up in this thing with Belos and it's – it's just not fair! If I had just forced her to go back to the Human Realm, she wouldn't have gotten kidnapped, or gotten those powers, or be fighting against monsters, and now against an even bigger monster! She and King are children! They shouldn't have to deal with this! It's all my fault…"

Lilith brought her little sister into a hug, holding her tight as she tried to comfort Eda. "We have a whole week until the Day of Unity. We'll figure out how to keep them safe."

Eda sniffled as the hug ended. The Owl Lady dried her tears as she smiled with determination. "You're right. Let's get to work."

Luz, King, and Hooty were now traveling across the Boiling Sea. The Latina managed to secure a vessel to travel to the location on the map. And as it so happened, it was the ship that belonged to Captain Salty. The demon crustacean she served under during the Selkidomus hunt. The voyage as a little slower than she had expected as night had fallen. Currently, the captain was feeding the furnace with some coal while Luz, La Lechuza, and Hooty were keeping an eye out for the island.

"Doin' a lot more work there, Salty," said King. "Where's the crew?"

"Well, I'm no longer working for the Golden Guard. So, me mates abandoned ship for greener, snailier pastures," he explained.

The grizzled sea dog sighed forlornly as he looked up into the starry night sky.

"They were like family to me too. But even family has to part ways sometimes, sad as it is. 'Tis life I suppose."

King had borrowed one of the photos that Lilith had taken back at the ruins, with the wall drawings that depicted his father, or at least the person he presumed to be his father, standing heroically against a giant monster, spear in hand. King glanced over at Luz, Salty's words hit closer to home than the old captain realized.

"Land-ho!" Luz cried out. "Land-ho!"

King quickly stood up and joined Luz, La Lechuza, and Hooty at the railing. There was a dense fog, but it was clearing up enough to allow the crew to see the giant finger of a Titan jutting up from the waters. And surrounding that finger was a small landmass.

"Is that a finger?" Hooty inquired. "It's a long way from our Titan."

"That's because it's not from our Titan," Salty informed. "This be the finger of a different beastie."

"If there used to be more than one Titan, does that mean there are more Titan Islands out there?" Luz inquired.

"Hard to say, Lass. We don't venture too far out to see. We only go as far as we need to for fishin', travelin', or for the occasional mission with the Emperor's Coven. Other than that, explorin' the rest of the seas has led to some tragic voyages. Some who go too far never return, and those that do, not always with all their crew," said Salty. "We'll set anchor here. Wait here and I'll yer dingy ready."

While Salty was working, Luz had a thought.

"Huh, then that might mean we could have more allies out there somewhere. If there are other Titan islands with witches and demons, there might be ones who could send forces to help us take down Belos!" Luz proposed.

"Careful, Niña. You can't expect another nation to willingly help the Boiling Isles without wanting something in return," La Lechuza warned. "In fact, they may not want to help at all."

"Why not? Belos is planning to kill all the witches and demons on the Isles. Why wouldn't they?" Luz asked.

La Lechuza hopped off Luz's shoulder and stood on the rail, facing Luz, and looked up at her. "Our upcoming meeting aside. If we did find another island nation with witches and demons. I predict two scenarios happening from our encounter. The first being that they may not want to get involved at all. They might have an isolationist mindset, and don't view the problems that happen outside their lands to be any of their concern. And that's not taking into account that they may not even be aware of other Titan islands aside from their own."

"Huh…that does sound bad," King commented.

"And the second?" Luz pressed.

"The second being, as I stated earlier, if they are willing to help, it won't be without compensation. Or even worse. They'll use it as a chance to invade. Think about it. Taking out a tyrant ruler will destabilize the government. Leaving a power vacuum. The allies we brought could quickly turn to enemies and take over the Boiling Isles and make it a part of their kingdom instead. Depending on their society, this could either be very good or very bad. And then there's the worst-case scenario."

"There's an even worse one?" Hooty gulped.

"They could just sail to the Boiling Isles and do nothing. They could just sit there and wait for the populace to die and now they have a new land to inhabit and call their own."

Luz grimaced, she never really thought about that.

"I'm not trying to discourage you from seeking an alliance, Luz. I am merely trying to inform you of the risks, and possible scenarios that could arise. We need to be ready should one or more of those scenarios come to pass," La Lechuza informed.

"No, I get it. Thanks, Lala," said Luz.

After their talk, the quartet got into the prepared bathtub dingy and rowed towards the island.

"Come back with a good story, sea squirts! If you ye come back at all!" Salty shouted.

"Aw, he's so supportive," Luz commented.

Eventually, they reached the island. Once they made landfall, they took a moment to really look at the island. The monolithic, boney finger of the unknown Titan loomed over them, stretched out towards the heavens. It made Luz wonder what could've happened to it. Not just this Titan, but the Boiling Isles' Titan as well. Her encounter with the Titan never left Luz's mind. Another victim of Belos' corruption of the land. The Titan was driven mad by Belos' evil and sought to get rid of him in the most extreme way possible. At least at the end, Luz was able to release him from that madness. But again, it did make her wonder what could've killed such powerful beings like these. Titans were certainly powerful. Their blood alone could rip open holes in space to other dimensions. And even in death, their remains create life. Not to mention the glyphs. The language of the Titan's magic.

Do other Titans have different Glyph patterns? Do they have the same elemental properties? And do they only have four like the four basic elements? Or is the Boiling Isles Titan the only one who uses four glyphs? Luz thought.

So many questions, and no answers to be found.

"Does anyone see anything?" Luz asked.

"Nope," answered King.

"Not me," Hooty replied.

"Maybe we're a bunch of early birds?" Hooty suggested.

La Lechuza flew off Luz's shoulder and hovered in the air as she said, "Grant me some time to search, the area."

Luz nodded and watched as La Lechuza flew away as she began her search. A few minutes passed, but so far, there was no report from La Lechuza. The longer this went on, the more King started to worry.

"Maybe they got sick of waiting. I mean, that letter was over a month old."

Just then Luz spotted La Lechuza fly towards them.

"Find anything, Lala?" Luz asked.

"As a matter of fact, I have. There's a flight of stairs that lead up the from the base of this Titan's finger to a grove in the bone with strange patterns on it. And something that looks like a kind of keyhole," La Lechuza informed.

"Let's check it out. Lead the way," said King.

La Lechuza led their group to the area she spoke of. There was a stairway that led from the ground to the Titan's finger. La Lechuza continued to lead them until they were right at the spot she spoke of. There was a circle with some strange markings on it, and at the center of it was a hole.

"Wait a minute…" Luz reached into her pocket and took out the stone piece that was in King's letter.

Once in hand, Luz inserted the stone piece into the hole in the circle. Once inserted, the circle and symbols began to glow bright. A wave of energy was released, shooting out in all directions. A surge of that same energy shot up the Titan's finger, and straight into the air. A few feet above the Titan's fingertip a portal of light opened, wide enough to encompass the Titan's finger. Lightning crackled, thunder roared, and the island started to rumble and shake. The portal fired down a cerulean beam of light that covered the area around the Titan's finger, and as a result, Luz, Hooty, King, and La Lechuza began to feel weightless.

"Whoa! Whoa! What's happening!" King shouted.

"Guess we're going for a ride!" Luz shouted back.

"I don't like feeling weightless like this!"

"Hoot! But you're an owl, shouldn't you be used it?" Hooty asked.

"Not when it's against my will!"

The team continued to rise higher and higher into the sky before passing through the portal as it vanished with a booming roar of thunder.

Somewhere, far, far away from the Boiling Isles, clouds gather in the sky. A portal of light formed as a bolt of cerulean lightning shot out of it and down towards a constructed dock. The portal released the same cerulean beam of light from earlier, and a moment later, Luz, King, La Lechuza, and Hooty materialized a few feet above the dock. Once the beam of light disappeared, the weightless feeling went along with it, and gravity took hold once again.

La Lechuza managed to remain in the air as she hurriedly flapped her wings, but the others weren't so lucky. King, Luz, and Hooty dropped out of the air and landed hard on the ground below. Along with them, the stone piece they used to activate the magical teleportation dropped to the ground along with them. Hooty had managed to tangle himself around Luz and King, using himself to cushion their landing at the last second.

"Luz are you okay? Where's you're other arm?!" Hooty asked in concern.

Luz untangled herself from Hooty as she corrected him. "I only ever had two, Hooty. Did you think I had more?"

"Luz, look!"

La Lechuza flew down and perched on Luz's right shoulder as she, Hooty, and Luz gazed in the direction that King had pointed out. Across the waters were huge skeletal remains that littered the horizon. Along with a giant skull that looked vastly different from the Titan they knew. For Luz, it seemed to confirm that not all Titans were the same, if the giant, monstrous skull was any indication. Further out, the island itself appeared to be a huge Titan hand. With half of the index finger missing, and the entire middle finger missing where the dock was constructed.

"Whoa…" Luz marveled.

"So many…fascinating," La Lechuza awed.

"That doesn't look like the Boiling Isles to me," Hooty observed.

"That's because it isn't."

A fog blew in across the waters, obscuring the other end of the dock. But despite this, the group could make out the shadow of large figure moving towards them. Luz got into a defensive stance as she readied to use one her glyphs, and if necessary a ring. However, as the fog cleared, they were able to see who it was that was approaching. The demon that stood before them greatly resembled King. He had large, leathery wings on his back. His lower jaw was obscured by a thick, long gray beard, while the top of half of his head had a skull face the same as King, except for the sharper, longer fangs, and two curling horns. The demon was draped in a dark yellow tunic, with some of the cloth having golden-yellow edges.

"Welcome to the other side of the other side of the world."

To say everyone was stunned would be an understatement. Heck, even La Lechuza was speechless. Here stood another of King's kind. Amongst all the demons they've encountered, and in Hooty's and Eda's case, more than Luz or La Lechuza have met, they have never come across another demon who even remotely resembled King. And now here stood someone who looked like King but much older.

"You dare trespass on this sacred–!" The large King looking demon stopped his train of thought as he gasped loudly. "By the Huntsman, 'tis King! Forgive me for not introducing myself. My name is Tarak." Tarak gave a slight bow to King and his companions. "Hail and well-met."

"Uh…y-yeah. 'Tis King," the little demon replied.

Luz bent down and whispered, "King, introduce us."

"Oh, right – right!" King immediately pointed his claw at Luz who stood up straight and poised. "Uh, this is Luz the human/friend/sister." Then he moved to Hooty. "This is Hooty the, uh…door?" And lastly to La Lechuza. "And this silver feathered owl is La Lechuza, Luz's…uh…uh…PET! Yes, she's her pet."

La Lechuza slowly turned her head towards the little demon and gave him a death glare as her feathers ruffled. King knew he had more or less insulted her, but it wasn't as if they had planned on what to call her if they did find someone.

"Ahem." Luz coughed in an attempt to break the tension. "Your warrior-ship." Luz bowed respectfully to Tarak, along with Hooty.

La Lechuza rolled her eyes and did the same.

"Did you send me that letter?" King asked. "Are…A-Are you my…?"

"Father?" Tarak interjected. "Alas, no. Nor is he here."

King lowered his head in disappointment. He figured it would be too good to be true to find his father or mother here after so many years. However, Tarak walked closer to King and bent down to get as close to eye level as he could.

"But I did send the letter, and, by the sight of you, I know he was one of us. He passed down that handsome skull of yours, didn't he?" Tarak asked as he playfully tapped the top of King's bony head, causing him to giggle. Afterwards, Tarak stood up and added, "Now we celebrate! Everyone will be so happy to meet you."

"Wait, everyone? Who's everyone?" Luz inquired.

Tarak waved his hand, gesturing them to follow him. Luz headed out first as La Lechuza perched on the Latina's shoulder. However, as she did, La Lechuza rotated her head about a hundred and eighty degrees to look behind her as she shot another indignant glare at King. This made King release a fearful "weh" before joining them. Once they got to the edge of the cliff the fog cleared up more, and down below they beheld an entire village sprawled out in the valley. Along with a stone tower at the center of the village.

"Welcome to Titan Trapper Island!"
