Night Raven (The Owl House X Male Reader)

Chapter 5: Smoke and feathers

It is already noon, the sun is now on top of the highest mountain, the water is boiling with heat, and there is someone who is about to explode for waiting too long.

Y/n: "WHERE ARE YOU? By the Mother of Raven, if he doesn't come here. "

Y/n had sent a message to the head scout, Carmag, and even Y/n raven confirmed that Carmag was still alive and smoking. However, Carmag is always the one to arrive late if someone asks him to for a meeting. Carmag claims that is his style, fashionably late. For Y/n, this happens to him all the time. There was one time when he was left in the snowstorm for half a day. At first, the experience was very funny for Carmag, but at least the head scout was sorry in the end.

Just then, a knock on the Y/n door, a figure is waiting outside, and he seems to be a grown-up adult with a toothpick in his mouth. Y/n walked over to the door, opened it, and saw the figure. It was Carmag, but he was wearing his normal clothing, which was just a yellow t-shirt, jeans, and a cap on his head. However, his skin was covered by bandages. Not even a gap of skin was shown. Only his dark green one-sided hair bang was visible.

Y/n: "Hey, Carmag, you're late again. What happened to you? What's up with the bandages? "

Carmag: "Sup, sorry for being late. Got some business to deal with? Turns out, that spending a night with a demoness was one of my best ideas ever. Except for the part where she was about to sacrifice my soul to her lord. Note: don't date a demon. "

Y/n: "Okay you..." Get in. "

To this very day, Y/n still can't understand how a person like Carmag would survive everything life throws at him. Of course, in this magical world, something like that can happen, but this always happens. One time, Carmag got trapped in a house rig with explosives and he walked out like nothing happened, or the time he survived two avalanches on the same day. Because of those events, Carmag got careless all the time. However, when it comes to his job, he takes it very seriously and never fails.

Y/n returns behind the bar counter while Carmag sits in front of her. The head scout pulls out a small pack of sticks from his pocket. Y/n isn't too happy about seeing that in his house because he knows Carmag is a heavy smoker, and the shaman never allows something like that to be in his home. Carmag pulled one out and put it in his mouth. Before he could light up, he looked at Y/n and smiled.

Carmag: "No smoking in here, huh?" He then proceeded to flick his middle finger, and a fire appeared on top of his finger. He moves the fire finger closer to the stick.

Y/N: "So you have chosen death."

Y/n rushed in with his hand, trying to take the smoke out, but got pushed away by Carmag's hand, pushing the shaman's hand to the table. Y/n tries again with his other hand but fails once again. He spins himself to get out of the lock. This makes Carmag lose balance, but he jumps out of it onto a nearby table. Y/n drew a circle in the air and water came out like a bullet straight to the head scout's face, but Carmag managed to dodge it. With that, Carmag pulled out his stick, breathed out, and coming out of his mouth was a grey circle of smoke. Then a fist of smoke came out of the circle, going for Y/n's face. Y/n duck and draw a circle on the ground and pour water into it. Before Carmag noticed it, he got dropped by water on his head, which turned off his stick and wet his head.

Carmag: "All right, you win this round. Cough... cough. " Throw his stick into the trash can.

Y/n: "You should stop smoking. It's not good for your health. "

Carmag: "I can't do it. It's my thing now. Anyway, I will take my usual. " He smiles.

Y/n: "So you got my message right." He starts making what the head scout asks.
