The Missing Link (The Owl House x Reader)

Young Blood, Old Souls

King was reading out loud from a book about the history of the Boiling Isles. "The Boiling Isles, born from the flesh and bones of a fallen Titan. This original magic was so potent, all life on the Isles evolved to wield magic too. For years, we explored those power freely. Until, a mysterious witch appeared who declared that he, and he alone, could speak to the island. He said that we were using magic all wrong. His teachings took hold, his strength grew, and he became... Emperor Belos. Belos said that mixing magic was wrong, that only he had that right. So he created the coven system. And there, our knowledge was restricted, and our potential sealed away. Those who resist are called wild witches, and they face harsh punishment. Emperor Belos has since retreated into his castle. There are whispers that say he's planning something big."

King and Luz were in the latter's room. The former looked up from the boom he was reading. "I wonder if catching Eda was part of his big plan. What do you think, Luz? Luz?"

Luz stares at the tag on her cape, it read: 'To a young witch from her proud mentor EDA'

"I don't care what Belos is up to... because today, I'm saving Eda! And fining (Y/n)!"

Luz opened the door to a room decorated with weapons. King followed her inside. "Luz, what are you doing?"

"This is serious, King. Eda used her power to save me and got caught by Lilith. Now she's the Owl Beast and is being taken before the Emperor! I don't know what he's planning to do with Eda, but I'm going to rescue her."

"Haven't you been listening to me? He's the Emperor! He's the most powerful witch alive!"

"King, please try to understand. Eda is in this situation because of me. Because of my stupid choice. I have to make up for it."

"But she's in her Owl Beast form! How will she even recognize you?"

"I don't know. But I have to try anyway."

"Well then, I'm going too."

"King..." luz looked at King sympathetically

"Me and Eda don't always see eye-to-eye, but I do consider her family. I want her back as much as you do. I want (Y/n) back too, Luz you have to help me find her"

"Alright. Then we've got no time to lose!"The two run out of the room.

"Nyeh!" King throws the book on the ground, which opens to the page with Belos on it.

The two of them quickly walked through the forest, King had told Luz that (Y/n) always came to the forest. They walked until they saw multiple destroyed trees.

King looked at Luz, "you think (Y/n) did this?" Luz didn't have a chance to answer the question because a little frog came hopping out at the two.

He looked terrified so Luz bend down and picked him up. "You okay little guy?" The little frog shook his head.

"Wait Luz let me see him..." Luz showed King the frog who gently took it in his paws. "I remember you, (Y/n)'s been taking care of you right" River nodded. "Do you know what happened to her? Is she okay?" River took a second and sadly shook his head. "What happened?" River hopped out of King's hands and started drawing in the dirt. He drew the Emperor's Coven symbol.

"She got captured?" Luz asked and River nodded again. Luz picked River up and placed him on her shoulder. "Let's go get her and Eda back"

The three of them made their way into town where they saw a news broadcast on a crystal ball.

"Perry Porter coming to you live from outside the Emperor's Castle. Edalyn Clawthorne, known commonly as "Eda the Owl Lady", has been captured and has been brought before the Emperor."
