"So you basically want us to recover something that was stolen? Is that it? Nothing else?" Lex asked

"That is basically it, I  want it back and after that I can open the portal back to the human world and we both go our separate way"

"Lex, are we really..." Luz was shut up by Lex

"Yes, we are going to help as form of payment in order to get back home"

"Fine"

"So what is the thing we need to recover and where is it?"

"First, I need to start..."

"WHO IS RUNNING THIS STALL!!??"

"Oh, great they show up at the worst time imaginable, stay right here"

Eda move to the front to confront  whoever was yelling, Lex was about to and spy but got stop by Luz who was given him a death glare.

"What are you doing!? Witches are the enemy we are train to hunt and kill!!" Luz whispers

"I know but I need to make sure of something before that, what have a taught you?"

"Think, analyze, comprehend, plan and then act upon the plan"

"Good and also there is something different about this witches, trust me please"

Luz throws hers arms up and gives a sight "Fine"

Luz and Lex start to make their way to the front to hear the heated conversation between Eda and whoever the yeller is.

"You are under arrest, Owl Lady!!"

"You will never get me alive, suckers!!! Get on you two"

Lex grabs Luz and throws her as he grabs the end of the broom and hold on for dear life.

"Who was that Eda?" Lex yell

"The Emperor Coven, the authority and rule enforcers"

"So the cops?" Luz asked

"I guess so, but they are more than that"

"Military Police?"

"You could say so but  they don't have the same presence, I just think them as a gang that took over that are sanction by the King"

"Really, they looked and sounded like a bunch of punks"

Eda laugh at Luz comments "You are not wrong but I am also wanted!!"

"Really? Why?"

"I will tell you when we get to my house"

"How much longer? I don't know how long I can hang?"

"You can see it over the tress in the opening in the forest"

Luz and Lex look at the house, it looks like a cottage built onto an abandoned castle or some sort  of building that was there. As Eda got closer to the house Lex let go as soon as he saw he could safely land on the ground without worried, He stretch his arm and rub them as he held on to the broom for a good 30 minutes. Looking at the cottage up close it seem like a regular cottage with no ominous atmosphere.

"Looks cozy" Luz Mention

"Thanks build it myself adjacent to the ruins of an old watch tower"

Eda guides both Lex and Luz to the cottage and get to the door when it come to live. "What is the password?"

"Hoot the password is for stranger, not for me!!"

"I still need the password!! What is the password?"

"Open the door, Hoot"

"Wrong answer"

"Hoot, I swear..."

"Do you even remember the password Hoot?" Luz asked

"... ... ..."

"Don't tell..."

"You are right I don't remember!!"

"Then the password is Open Sesame"

"Okay!!... What is the password?"

"Hoot I swear to titan"

"Open Sesame" Lex said

"You are correct!! Opening the door"

Eda grunts and walk inside the house, inside Luz notice something sleeping in the sofa a mist an array of plushies.

"King, I am back"

King grunts and turn over his sleeping position, Eda reach out and shock him to wake him up, all he is grunting and sounding mad that he has been woken up from a pretty good nap or sleep.

"King these guys here are going to recover your crown"

These made the little guy jump. "Really!!! Are you going to recover my crown"

Meanwhile Luz found the creature repulsive since it was some sort of demon, Lex found it adorable and intriguing.

"Well, who is this little guy?"

"This guy is a demon name King"

"A Demons" Luz said with disgusted

"Yeah, a demon... anyway his crown was stolen and we want to get it back"

"We are not..."

"Why do you need us? is it in a location only being not of this world can access?"

"Something like that the guy who stole it, the warden of the prison did it out of spite since I wouldn't date him"

"Wait, wait, wait, wait... so he took his crown because you wouldn't date him?" Luz asked

"Pretty much"

"That so petty!!!!"

Eda gives a chuckle "So are you going to help him"

"Fuck Yeah, Fuck that warden"

Lex saw her and turn to Eda "What she said"
