The Owl House: Coven of Shadows

World of Witchcraft Part 1

A/N: And here is part one for Chapter 1. Part 2 will come soon next week. And I've also made a fanmade theme song based on The Owl House's original theme. I hope you'll like it. :)

The next thing Ben knew, he was unconscious. But after a while, he tried to open his eyes, albeit with a groan. The first thing he saw was a bright lavender sky shining above him. The young boy became confused by the color.

"Huh? What's up with the sky?"

Ben sat himself up as he yawned before looking around. Even the woods seemed different than how it was before. For instance, the log that he stopped to rest on wasn't there anymore. And for another, the trees' leaves appeared to be dark blue rather than mint green.

"And what the heck happened to me?"

That's when he remembered. Just before he ended up here, wherever here was, he found an odd item that looked like a demon's eye with a crack at the bottom right corner of it. And when he picked it up, it glowed so brightly, it must've blinded him. Ben looked down beside him to find just the item next to his right foot. He picked it up and looked at it, wondering how it was possible for it to take him here. But more importantly, he was somewhat furious about the fact that it put a wrench in his plans to find his mother.

"Great. So this is all your fault, isn't it?"

Ben tilted the eye left and right for a moment, seeing nothing else out of the ordinary. But before he could examine it thoroughly, he heard a roar above him. Ben looked up ahead to see a silhouette of a large beast. It was something he'd never seen before, not even from Luz's Azura books. But from the sound of it, he could tell it was dangerous.

"Okay, time to go!"

Ben took off in a huff, but not before putting the broken eye in his pocket. With that, he was running for his life as another large, unearthly roar echoed in the forest. He jumped over a log ahead of him before he continued his sprint, knowing if he stopped, he'd surely be doomed. If he knew his day would turn out like this, he would've stayed in bed. Then all of what he experienced may never have happened. But there's no use trying to change it now. All he could do for himself now was to stay alive. Although, wings would be more useful to him in this situation, not that he could grow any.

A dark shadow loomed over him, its own wings outstretched. He looked up to see the beast swoop down on him as he tried to jump away from it, causing the beast to miss as it sent up a lot of dust into the air from the collision just as he landed onto the mud, splashing it all over him, including his backpack. After that, he turned around to see the outline of a horse's body with the wings of an eagle. And to top it off were glowing white eyes that appeared fixated on him. When the dust cleared away, it turned out to be a creature only mentioned in fantasies, yet even they couldn't have come up with this creature in particular.

It was a giant bulky creature with a long neck, wild messy white feathers that covered half of its upper body, a flat big head, a bright silver curved sharp beak with a few scrapes and cracks in it, two big sliver blue eyes, two long sliver Horse-like ears on each side of its head, long big Eagle-like silver wings on its upper back, a brown lower horse body with a few scars on it, strong back legs with thick black hoofs, a long silver-colored bushy horse tail, two front yellow Eagle talons with silver claws on it, and a scar under it stretching from its stomach to its chest. Ben closed his eyes as he expected the worst to come from the beast.

"Why did I have to get out of bed today?"

The beast leaned closer to Ben, sniffing him closely. After a short moment, the beast made a disgusted face, as if it smelled something rather unpleasant. Without a moment to waste, the beast flew away from Ben, sending a gust of air on him as he held his arm over his face to shield from the overpowering wind. When the gust was gone, Ben heard flapping in the far distance before he set his arm down.
