It had officially been a week since Luz moved in with Eda and only a day ago, defeated The Gildersnake and Golden Guard.

But after that attack, Luz was on edge, constantly training her magical abilities for many monsters. But mostly at night, because she found the human world's night sky to be absolutely stunning.

"Alright, why am I doing this?" Eda asked, being given a bunch of flash cards from Luz as she transformed into her witch attire.

"Well, Belos is sending monsters here for some reason...probably to get rid of me for his 'Day of Unity'." Luz said, scratching her chin.

"Day of...wha?" Eda asked. "What does that mean?"

Luz shrugged. "I have no sweet clue. But it has something to do with The Titan, who is basically our god. They're the most powerful and magical beings alive...problem is? That's all we know about them." She then grabbed her staff. "Belos claimed he could talk to The Titan, and everyone feared him when he created The Coven System."

"He's probably lying." Eda said, looking over the flashcards. "Tyrants and scammers create new fears, and want people to look to them to fix it. But in reality? That fear doesn't exist. Belos probably can't even talk to this Titan, and is just saying he can to get people to obey him."

"That's what I was thinking! I mean, The Titan's been dead for centuries!" Luz laughed. "Alright, now just say the names on the flashcards, and I'll practice on how to handle them quickly."

"Okay." Eda said with a shrug. "Gildersnake."

"Stop it from moving its jaws, and then burn it. They're incredibly weak to fire."

"Slitherbeast."

"A snow monster. Storm of fireballs."

"Griffin."

"Blind it with light, and then restrain their wings with vines."

"Stoneheart."

"Illusion magic. They're not the bright and easily distracted."

Eda whistled before pulling out one more. "Uhhh...am I reading this right? Grometheus The Fear Bringer?"

"We call him Grom for short!" Luz explained. "He's a monster that appears in the Boiling Isles annually. He's probably our most deadly creature of all. He's able to shapeshift into your worst nightmare." She said gravely.

"Yeesh." Eda said with a slight shiver. "Okay, the next one is...ummm...Owl Beast."

"Blind it." Luz said before seeing King run out. "Oh! Hey, King!"

"Luz! You're on the screen thing!" King exclaimed.

Eda's eyes widened. "WHAT!?"

Luz and Eda then rushed inside and saw that King was telling the truth. Blurry images of Luz fighting The Gildersnake was being shown on TV.

"Who is this mysterious warrior? And more importantly, will they show up again?" The reporter asked. "We cut to our reporter in the field that will be interviewing people that claim to have seen this amazing battle."

Eda then turned off the TV and slowly turned to Luz. "No one saw you, huh?"

Luz chuckled nervously. "I-I mean...it was a giant fight."

Eda sighed. "Well, you at least disguised yourself. But it looks like you're gonna have to stay in your alter ego a lot more now just to be safe."

Luz snapped her fingers and then spun a spell circle into the air, and was then wearing her red winter hat, black pants, white and purple striped shirt, and green jacket. "Boom!"
