The Owl House x Male Reader

Echoes Of The Past

Open in the middle of a forest, during a boiling rainstorm. A small, furry creature peeks out from a log when, then hides back in when a hooded stranger runs past. This stranger runs into a ruined building to seek shelter from the boiling rain and pull their hood down, revealing themself to be a younger Eda, with shorter ginger hair. She looks at her cape, annoyed that the rain had burnt holes in it. As she starts to walk further in, unbeknownst to her, a pair of glowing yellow eyes appear from a crevice within a pile of fallen rocks. Eda wanders further into the ruins, past a cluster of stacked rock formations, when a shadowy figure runs past in the foreground, startling Eda. Young Eda brandishes her staff

Eda: Who's there? Reveal yourself!

Cut to a perspective view from this mysterious figure, approaching Eda from behind. Eda turns around and gasps. Cut to the present, Luz is at the Owl House. She is studying and experimenting with glyphs in a notebook.

Luz: Hmmm...

She starts drawing a glyph, but scribbles it out. She makes a frustrated grunt. King dives through, tumbling books over.

King: Luz, I need your help! I think Francois is trying to start a rebellion.

Pan to the couch, covered in King's plushies. Francois, his pale pink bunny, is sitting in the center on a pillow. After a beat, a jagged dagger with a red gem on the hilt falls out from behind him.

Luz: In a minute, King. I'm getting so close to figuring out this glyph combo.

King: It's always glyphs and portals with you these days. What about King?

Luz: Why don't you ask Lilith for help? She was in the Emperor's Coven. She has more experience with unruly mobs than anyone.

Lilith is kneeling at the desk, extremely focused on drawing a glyph with a red paintbrush. She's bent over, eyes only a short distance from the paper. Her hair is messy and the whites of her eyes are huge, with tiny irises.

Lilith: Watching the ink dry is the best part.

King grunts in disapproval. Hooty gives Lilith a mug.

Hooty: A fresh cup of tea for my favorite cup of tea. That's you, Lulu.

Lilith smooths her hair, and her eyes are back to normal.

Lilith: Well, Hootsifer, you truly are a gem. How do you always know what to do?

King (whispering to Luz): What's going on? Is Hooty blackmailing her?

Luz: Oh, I think they're actually friends. Isn't that nice?

Luz closes her book and stands up, holding a glyph.

Luz: Okay, this will work for sure. Now you see me...

Luz slams the glyph to her chest and vanishes. King gasps. Lilith looks up. Luz reappears.

Luz: ...now you don't. Oh, I guess it only lasts as long as I hold my breath. Still pretty cool, huh?

King rushes and clings to Luz's leg.

King: Don't ever do that again!

Lilith stands up in amazement.

Lilith: Do that again! How ever did you accomplish it?

Luz: Well, since you guys discovered that we can make new spells by combining glyphs, I've been experimenting. I got the invisibility idea from your history books, Lilith.

Lilith stands up and begins walking to the side.

Lilith: Fascinating! As the lead historical scholar of the Emperor's Coven, my aid could be very helpful in--
