Eda franticly ran through the streets of Bones Borrow looking for the two runaway titans. "I take my eyes off them for five minutes," Eda said as she turned a corner and stopped to look for any sign of the siblings. Eda contained looking for them until she heard music playing at the end of the street. When she turned around to see where it was coming from she saw a crowd of witches and demons laughing and clapping. Curiosity got the better of Eda and she made her way to the group.

After pushing through the demons and witches Eda saw what the crowd was so excited about. She saw three teenagers each playing an instrument, one had a violin, the other had a lute, and the last teen had a flute. The three played an upbeat and merry toon while making these balls of light the size of golf balls appear and flote around a tiny opening the crowd made for them. But what had the crowd's attention was the two little dog-like demons jumping up and down trying to catch the balls of light.

The bigger one was the first to grab a ball with both of her paws cupping around the light blacking it from the crowd's view. The little titan then brought her paws closer to her head and made a small opening to peek at the light in her paws. But as she was doing this the light ball popped making smaller balls flout out of her paws and around her head. Surprised by the popping of the ball the titan stumbled back and fell right on her butt.

For a moment the little titan just sat there processing what just happened, only for her to start laughing and clapping her paws together shortly after. While the younger one just kept falling and tripping over itself trying to catch the balls of light. Seeing this the older titan stood up and walked toward her little brother, she then tried to pick him up so he could catch his own light ball. But despite being twice his sibling's size the titan couldn't keep her balance and started to stumble backward.

Luckily for them just as the titan tripped and started to fall back a pair of hands caught them before they could hit the ground. Looking back the older titan saw that the hands belonged to nonother than Eda, who had a kind smile. "Here let me help," Eda said as she helped the older sibling find her balance, she then reached for the younger one and picked him up. Eda lifted him a little above her head and in front of a light ball. The little titan then clapped his paws together popping the ball of light and making tinier balls take its place.

Proud and excited about his achievements the titan continued to clap for himself. Eda then brought the titan closer to her chest and knelt in front of the older titan. By that time the teens had stopped playing the music and cautiously watched the owl lady worried about what she might do. "I'm glad that the two of you are having fun, but you need to tell me where you're going before you disappear like that," said Eda as she reached one of her hands out and patted the older titan on the head. "Sorry Eda, but it is our first time in a real live town and we wanted to look around," the titan said as she looked at the ground avoiding eye contact.

Eda then moved her hand from the titan's head and lifted her chin so that the two of them were looking each other in the eyes. "I'm just glad that you and your brother are safe," Eda said as a warm and caring smile crossed her lips. When the titan saw the smile a friendly and safe feeling came over her, telling her that everything was ok. "But never run away like that ever again," said Eda with a stern voice and an intense stare as she moved her hand from the titan's chin and pointed at its chest. The warm feeling quickly left the titan as she started nodding her head frantically not wanting to upset Ede any further.

"Now come on we need to get back to Morton's and pick up my elixirs," Eda said standing back up to her full height with the little titan still in her arms. The older titan nodded her head and turned around to face the three witch teens behind her. "Thanks for the music it was fun and I loved the lights," the titan said to the witches before waving goodbye as she walked away with Eda. "Au...Your welcome" said the teen with the flute as she awkwardly waved at the little demon.

The trio retracted their steps back to Morton's shop where he was waiting for them outside with two big sacks on both sides of him. "There you are I was starting to get worried," Morton said as he nervously looks around as if something was going to jump out at them. "The bag to my left has your elixirs and the one to my right is the one you left behind when you ran off," stated Morton as he pointed at the two bags.

"Thanks, Morton," Eda said as she drew a circle with her finger and the two bags started to rise up and off the ground. After that, she then summoned her staff and hoped on to it with the youngest titan still in her arm. "Come on kid, it's time to go home," Eda said to the young titan. "Light," the titan said with an enthusiastic voice as if she had the back through of a lifetime. "I loved the balls of light that the performers made so I want my name to be light," the titan said as she looked toward Eda with a look of pride in her eyes.

"No offense kid but I think a different name would suit you," said Eda even though she thought the titan was a little ball of light herself. "What about Luz?" asked Morton who was still standing in front of the trio. "I once read that the word 'Luz' means light so?" Morton explained as he nervously looked at Eda worried about what she might say. For a moment the witch and the titan just stood there looking at Morton as if he just said something that could change history.

"Luz Luz," cheered the tiny titan in Eda's arm as it pumped his fists in the air like he was celebrating. At first Eda and the older titan just stared at the younger one with blank looks on their faces before they made eye contact with each other. They just stood there looking at each other for a few seconds before they both burst out laughing at the little titan chant. "I think your brother likes your new name, Luz," said Eda as she whipped away the tears that formed during her laughter.

The older titan now known as Luz looked at her little brother with a mixture of gratitude and pride, overjoyed that he finally spoke his first word. But the moment was cut short when the group heard shouting coming from down the street. They turn only to see an angry mob of town guards and coven scouts running toward them. "That's your queue to leave," said Morton as he hurried back into his shop and lock the door behind him. "Hop on Luz," shouted Eda as she patted her staff indicating that it was time to go. Not wasting a signal moment Luz hopped onto the staff and held on for dear life as it rocketed up into the sky and away from the angry mob.
