Owl House: The Roar of the Lioness

Prologue

The night was quiet as it could ever be, especially in the forest. The trees swayed softly in the breeze and a gentle sprinkle of rain had came across the forest. The leaves rustled in the trees overhead and a few fell from the treetops to the forest floor. With a glowing full moon shining its soft silvery light in the night sky, it casted long shadows across the forest floor. The stars sparkled like distant diamonds in the night sky. The woodland critters had either started to awakening and started searching for food or getting ready to sleep for the night. While in the town of Gravesfield, it's quiet as everybody slept and the lights of the lamps glowed like fireflies in the darkness of the night.
But something was running swiftly and surely through the forest. Hardly anybody has caught a good view of it. Hardly anybody has heard it, but the only sounds that came from the figure was the gentle sound of panting, the crunching of grass, the occasional sound of soft pounding when the figure had landed from her jumps, and the occasional splashes of puddles.
It wasn't long till the girl had finally revealed herself as she quietly ran through the forest, hidden in silence and shadow. She's around the age of sixteen. She has long and straight blonde hair that stops at her shoulders. Her bright blue eyes were sparkling with firm rebellion and determination. She also also has a fair complexion from her time in the sun. She was wearing a white blouse shirt with blue trim with flower details and a dark blue pair of pants with a red sash that's tied to her right side and dark brown combat boots. Her only accessories is a brown beaded necklace with a blue gem, a blue and purple threaded bracelet with a small and flat yellow bead tied in the center, and two earrings pierced on her right ear: the smaller earring is blue, while the other one is green. 
She soon slowed down to walk, but she kept herself hidden in the shadows of the forest as she did so. She heard voices speaking to each other a few feet in front of her and she hid herself behind some bushes when she saw her friend being outlined by the moonlight as she sat on the top of the hill, which overlooks their hometown. Her friend soon stopped talking, she lowered her hand with her phone from her right ear and slipped it into her pocket.
"Is she gone?" asked the girl softly, but she was heard by her friend.
"She's gone," her friend called back. "You can come out now."
The girl had came out of hiding and said, "I've missed you Luz." 
Her friend — aka Luz — smiled at the older girl, the two of them are pretty different in comparison. Luz is two years younger than the other girl. Luz's skin is tan as flawless copper, unmarked and spent time under the sun. Her hazel eyes shone with compassionate and intelligence. Her hair is dark brown highlighted in purple and in a a pixie cut. She's wearing a short-sleeved half-white and half-indigo hoodie with cat ears attached to the hood, high-waisted jean shorts, dark grey capris leggings, and a pair of white loafers.
"Don't make me wait so long," said the girl as they two of them embraced each other and they sat down together. "I won't survive."
"I'm sorry Andra," Luz said with a smile and a soft laugh. "It's just..." Their joyful mood faded. "My mum wants to change everything about me, because I'm too imaginative."
"No you're not," said Andra firmly, her eyes flashing. "You're a wonderful person, just the way you are. Your mother just needs to be taught a lesson that she shouldn't try to change her brave, kind, smart, creative, and brilliant daughter into a shadow of her former self."
"But when will that lesson be taught?" Luz asked.
"When the time is right," said Andra. "You will know."
"If you say so." Luz sighed and looked at Andra curiously. "But how about you? How are you holding up?"
Andra sighed and looked up at the night sky as she said, "Ever since our dads' passings, Mom has become much colder and stricter towards me. She's very hard to please nowadays when it comes to doing my best on schoolwork. She doesn't hear my opinions and she doesn't take kindly towards my 'ungrateful whining' to her." She closed her eyes as the scattered beams of moonlight shone down on them. "But I think it's because we remind them so much of our dads, they're trying to stamp it out of us."
"They could try to stamp it out of us," hissed Luz fiercely. "But I will always remember him and I can't help, but be myself. If mamí can't see that, than so bit it."
"Now, now Luz. Take it easy." Andra pleased a gentle hand on Luz's shoulder. "I think they're just having a hard time coping without our dads and we remind of them everyday. We just need to be patient and wait for our chance to shine."
"I guess you're right." Luz nodded before her expression brightened. "But enough about this, how about we talk about the spoilers on the new Good Witch Azura book."
"Good point my fair lady." Andra gave a playful bow to Luz as she spoke in her best ladylike voice, her eyes filled with laughter. "I suspect that there'll be be more magical discoveries and more adventures that goes into the great unknown."
"Thus so my fearless friend," said Luz in her ladylike voice and her expression filled with amusement too. "I do dare believe to think that a new companion shall be joining our dear Azura."
"My word!" exclaimed Andra, she playfully placed a hand over her chest dramatically. "Do tell my fair lady. Do tell."
Luz grinned playfully and replied, "I do believe that this fellow might become Azura's newest adventure partner. The fellow is brave and wise as well as she is caring and kind with a hint of mystery behind her ever so."
"My, my." Andra grinned in amusement. "Such a mysterious fellow, ain't she?"
"Indeed, my fair lady." Luz nodded and grinned at Andra. "Indeed."
The two girls looked at each other playfully and they bursted out laughing from their antics. Andra shook her head as she laughed, while Luz had fell down next to her as she continued laughing.
They both eventually calmed down and smiled at each other, Luz sat up next to Andra as she caught her breath.
They two of them both looked up at the beautiful night sky, Luz focused her sight on the moon and Andra gazed up at the twinkling stars. The moon shone its soft silvery glow on them and the stars glittered like scattered diamonds in the dark blue night sky.
"I know for a fact that our dads will be proud of us," Andra said firmly. "Not matter what will happen."
"We just need to be the heroines of our own stories," said Luz with a determined smile.
They fell silent as they looked up at the night sky again. They could hear the gentle sounds of crickets chirping somewhere in the grass, the babbling of a nearby brook, the soft screeching and instant flapping of the bats, and the occasional hoot of an owl.
"Who knows what the future will bring?" asked Andra as she continued gazing up at the stars.
"Yeah," Luz whispered with a wistful smile as she kept her gaze on the moon. "Who knows?"
Little did they know, fate has different plans for them in the summer.
