TOH: The Friendly Warlock

Chapter 13:

A/N: Enjoy the new additions and snippets in Neo's past!

/////

Neo and Luz walked in to see Eda and King holding the babies and sleeping... wait, babies?

Luz: Where'd they come from?

She asked as they leaned in to see the babies. After checking with Eda for a moment, the 2 trained a little more before getting back.

Neo: Aww, so cute.

He said, admiring the sight of both the sleeping infants and Eda.

Luz: They are~! Though I'm wondering who caused this damage.

She said, looking around the semi-trashed living room.

Neo: I think it was them.

Luz: Maybe.

"Ding Dong ding! Hoot hoot!"

The 2 looked over to see the door abruptly open thanks to Hooty.

Luz: Gah! Hooty, stop that!

Neo: When will the Bat Queen be here?

Luz: Uh, does she look like that?

She asked, pointing to a large figure squeezed itself through the door. Luz hid behind Neo in fear of what it'll be as it rose it's head.

Luz: Whoa, you must be mama.

She said as the large winged creature smiled and nodded.

Neo: Greeting miss Bat Queen.

He said kindly before he bowed his head.

The creature, the Bat Queen smiled as she recognized the man.

BQ: Aw, Neo, such a nice boy. How are you? It's been so long.

She asked, lifting his chin with her wing.

Neo: Good, I still remember the dance under the the Blood Moon when we were young.

The Queen nodded with a toothy smile.

BQ: Ah yes, it was a beautiful night.

She looked around, seeing Luz behind Neo and Eda on the couch.

BQ: Aw, you start a family yourself with the Owl lady?

She asked, Luz giggling loudly at people saying that he and Eda are together.

Neo: No she's just my apprentice, but you know with me anything is possible.

The Queen nodded with a smile.

BQ: Indeed. For now, I am here for my babies.

She said, whistling slightly as the smaller bats flew from Eda's arms to the top of the Bat Queen's head.

And in it.

Luz: Whoa...

BQ: Aw, snuggle dumplings.

Neo: Um, they aren't mine, are they?

Neo asked bashfully.

Luz's jaw dropped as she looked between the 2 with wide eyes. The Queen giggled with a wing over her mouth.

BQ: No no, they are not Neo.

She said, soon barfing up a chest full of gold, and a whistle.

BQ: For today's help.

Neo: Thanks.

A Few Minutes Later:

Neo: What's that look for Luz?
