The Forbidden Drink II: Return of the Titans

Ch. 9: Family Time is Good Time

At the Owl House, Eda sat down on the couch and used her corrupted arm to rub her eyes. Everything was just getting to her. Raine being in a coma, with no telling if and when They'll come out of it, Luz constantly pushing herself and avoided the others, dealing with two god children, it was difficult.

"How could things in my life get any more difficult?" Eda asked herself.

"Hoot hoot!" Hooty screamed, opening the door! "Eda, your family is here!"

"I just had to say it." Eda muttered to herself.

She got up and opened the door.

"Edalyn!" Dell and Gwendolyn shouted, smiling as Lilith stood behind them and waved.

"Hey, mom and dad. Lily." Eda said before she was hugged by them both.

"It's been too long since we saw you. And I just LOVE the black hair, it really makes you look younger." Gwendolyn said.

"Yeah, I do look good with it." Eda said, wiping some hair back. "Pull it off way better than Lily."

"Black hair is completely different from blue hair. Besides, I've been keeping my natural hair since you cut it months ago." Lilith said, pushing up her glasses and gesturing to her short, orange red hair. "But I improved it since you butchered it."

"You wanted a haircut and I gave you one, not my fault you trusted the woman with one arm to cut your hair. Simple as that." Eda said as her parents broke the hug. "So, what can I do for you guys for?"

"We wanted to see you." Gwen said, "We haven't seen you since before the Day of Unity."

"Well... technically I saw you guys." Eda said, remembering her family as puppets surrounding her while she was in the nightmare.

"Being puppets doesn't count, Edalyn. And who knows what we did while we were puppets." Dell said, causing Eda to shiver.

'You have no idea, dad.' Eda thought.

"Wait, when did you get a new arm?" Lilith asked, seeing Eda's black, corruption hand.

"Yeah, that's a recent development." Eda said, holding up her right hand. "It's also a bit of a story, might want to sit down for it."

Eda made a black spell circle and a few chairs started glowing black before floating over to Eda's guests.

The Clawthorne trio were shocked as they were swept into the chairs and placed around the couch.

"Eda, your magic has returned?!" Gwendolyn asked in shock.

"Not entirely, more like it got a sort of upgrade." Eda said, walking to the couch to sit down. "Let's just say, me and the curse are on good terms. And I love the results."

"And those results are?" Lilith asked, already interested in this.

'Could I be able to do the same?' Lilith thought.

"Well if you really want to know, I can corrupt and cancel any spell that comes at me. I can also make corrupt versions of the spells that only I can use." Eda said with pride as she looked at her black magic arm. "This thing is pretty cool."

"Can you still transform into your harpy form?" Lilith asked.

"Does this answer you question?" Eda asked, transforming into her harpy form and showing the corruption arm had a mist of energy around it.

'Titan, why does she get all the cool stuff?' Lilith thought, feeling jealous.

Lilith pouts a bit as she always hated how Eda always got the best things in life, even if she stole most of them.
