The Titan Siblings (The Owl house AU)

Chapter 7

It has been two whole years since Eda took in the Titans and she couldn't be happier than she was now. It was late evening and Eda was just in the kitchen finishing a potion order for an underground fighting arena that wanted several different types to either boost or heal the fighters. Eda was mixing a small cauldron filled with a glowing neon-orange liquid when she realized the last ingredient wasn't on the counter. But before she could turn around to look for it the little eight-year-old titan Luz jumped up on the counter, wearing a purple butene-up vest, and holding a jar with spider cow horns inside.

"Is this what you're looking for?" Luz asked as she offered the jar to Eda. Smiling at the titan, Eda opened the jar, took two horns out of it, and put them in the cauldron. "Don't you need three to make an agility-boosting potion," asked Luz as she tilted her head with a look of confusion in her eyes. "You do, but you need to add the third one right when red sparks start to come out for full strength," Eda said as she grabbed a third horn getting ready to drop it in while she stirred at the cauldron.

After five minutes of waiting the potion started the bubble twice as much and from the popping bubble crimson red sparks jumped out in every direction. At that moment Eda dropped the third horn into the mixture only for a puff of red smoke to come out of the cauldron and the liquid to change from a bright neon-orange to a dark eerie red. "And it's done, thanks for the help kid," said Eda as she pats Luz affectionately on the head between her horn. "Happy to help, HELP!" Luz said correcting herself and fixing her voice from a high pitch squeaky tone to her normal one.

Eda couldn't help but chuckle a little at the titan even though she knew it wasn't the right thing to do. "Still having trouble with your voice?" Eda, ask with a teasing tone as she turned away from the pot to get the bottles she'll need. "Yes, it's been at least a week with no sign of stopping, STOPPING!" yield Luz as she corrected her voice again. "Hee-hee squeaky voice," said a new voice coming from the entrance to the hallway.

The two turned their heads to see how it was only to find Luz's two-year-old brother, wearing a red collar, laughing and pointing at her. "It's not funny King," said Luz with an irritated tone as she called her brother by the name he got after listening to Eda's stories about kings and their kingdoms. "Don't worry kid it's just a normal part of growing up, it'll end before you know it," said Eda as she walked back over to the cauldron with her arms felled with glass bottles. Not wanting to deal with her laughing brother or her squeaky voice Luz just took a breath to calm herself, grabbed an old soup ladle that was laying on the counter, and helped Eda fill up the bottles one at a time.

After about ten or twenty minutes of filling bottles, the two potion makers had a little over three dozen bottles filled to the brim, and in that time King went back into the living room to play with his stuffed animals. "And with that, the order is done, and just in time too," Eda said as she put the cork in the final bottle. "Great! When do we deliver it?" Luz asked excitedly as she jumped off the counter. "I'll be delivering them. You'll stay here and keep an eye on your brother," Eda said in a stern voice. "What! Why? 'cough' I've helped you deliver them before," Luz said pointing at the bag of potions. 

"Because this delivery isn't in Bones Borough, it's in Latissa," Eda said as she started putting all the ingredients back in the cupboards they belonged. "Wait, we're going to Latissa?!" Luz shouted in excitement not caring that her voice squeaked again. "I'm going to the Latissa. You are staying here," Eda said putting more emphasis on her words as she turned to face Luz. Eda then bent down till she was at Luz's eye level and looked deep into her eyes. "Latissa is filled with bandits, outlaws, bounty hunters, and all the other types of troublemakers you can name. It is no place for an eight-year-old," said Eda with the sternest voice she could ever make.

"But I'm a titan," Luz stated as she put her paw to her chest, hoping that reminder would convince Ede to let her come along. "All the more reason! What if someone asked you what type of demon you are, or what if someone finds out that you are a titan and tries to drain your blood?!" Yelled Eda as she stood to her full height and waved her arms around, before resting them on her hip. "Sorry kid but as you mom, I'm not risking it!" Eda yelled as she fold her arms over her chest not realizing what she just said. Luz on the other hand heard what Eda said and was so shocked by it that she just stood there on the counter looking at Eda with a look of surprise in her eyes. "Did you just call yourself my mom?" Luz asked as she raised her hand to point at Eda.
