Mentally and Physically Tearing Him Apart

Chapter 7

"And this is a plant glyph, which looks really similar to a stick figure," Luz explained as she tapped on the newly drawn symbol on the sheet of paper with her hand. Suddenly a small green stem started to grow from the center of the sheet and a pink flower blossomed at the top of it. Hunter watched in awe and great curiosity as he poked one of the petals with a finger.

"It's an actual flower?"

"Yeah, you can manipulate glyphs to do a specific thing corresponding to its element. You can also combine some. There are light, plant, ice, and fire glyphs." Luz answered and pulled the flower off the sheet of paper and set it off to the side of the table.

"Are there any other glyph symbols that you have discovered?" Hunter asked, picking up the notepad and flipping through it, trying to find any new glyph symbols he didn't see before.

Luz shook her head, "Nope, and we think there aren't anymore anyway, it's just these four."

"Huh, interesting," Hunter noted. "Or maybe the reason you can't find anymore is that you are just simply incapable of finding any more."

Hunter and Luz had been spending the past hour talking about wild magic and its variations in the living room since they woke up. After eating breakfast Luz then showed him the other different types of glyph symbols. Hunter had also changed out of plain pajamas and was now wearing his dark blue tunic with his gold-plated armor over his chest and the same brown pants with darker brown boots. The same attire he wore in Latisa. His regular Golden Guard uniform was left back on his sleeping bag. He had tried to give back the spare pajamas to Eda but she had told him he could keep them.

Hunter didn't know where Eda was now, most likely upstairs in her room. Same with the little black demon, King. He did however know that Lilith and Hooty were talking to each other outside the house. And Rascal was sitting on his shoulder quietly watching them. Hunter admitted he was feeling better after last night, well enough to start making sarcastic quips and remarks again as usual. After that talk he had with Lilith Clawthorne, he felt more relaxed knowing he had someone to talk to about his worries. And not only that, but he felt more comfortable around Luz as well.

"Hey! I am perfectly capable of finding more glyph symbols. And besides, I discovered them before you." Luz shot back as she crossed her arms.

"If I recall, the only reason you discovered the existence of glyphs was because of that thing." Hunter pointed at Luz's phone that was sitting behind her on the couch.

Luz rolled her eyes. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Luz turned to it and started to walk towards the door to open it. Hunter thought that maybe he should probably leave before she opens the door, because it could be Kikimora or one of the coven scouts again. Hunter knew he was putting everyone here in danger and at even more risk, but what else could he do? It's not like he could stay anywhere else. Before Hunter could ponder his thoughts any longer, she opened the door to reveal no other than her girlfriend herself.

Amity Blight.

Hunter felt himself freeze, his eyes widening. Amity couldn't know he was here, it would stir up and cause all sorts of problems. He remembered all too clearly the fight he had with her at the dried-up Eclipse Lake. How he threatened the safety of Luz to get the key which had titan blood in it. Only for him to give it to his uncle, and his uncle having mixed feelings over it. There was no doubt that Amity wouldn't react kindly to seeing him, much less in the Owl House itself. But he couldn't move, not without her noticing. Hunter was still sitting on the ground in front of the couch, right given Amity if she took her eyes of Luz.

From where he could see, she was standing outside of the door with a bouquet of purple flowers in her hand, and her other hand had her palismen staff, most likely her ride here. She had a small smile on her face and wore a black lace dress that went down to her knees, white leggings, and black combat boots. She also wore a moon necklace, and she had a crescent moon clip in her lavender-colored hair. Talk about being hardcore goth. It almost seemed like she was here because...
