Summary: Luz Noceda is an average 16 year old. Loves exploring, hates school, and has magic. Everything is going great until one day, after a big fight with her mom, Luz runs away and stumbles into a portal to the world she could only dream of going to. The Human Realm. There she meets Eda Clawthorne, a part time petty criminal, part time inventor, part time pawn shop owner, and her one-eared pet dog King, who ask for her help in retrieving something important in exchange for going home.

I'm walking along the sides of the stone roads, observing all the people and things around me. You'd think after growing up here I'd be used to everything, but, that's not the case. I'm always finding out new things. Whether it be from reading the new releases in the library or finding stuff in the nearby woods. Or being attacked by stuff in the nearby woods.

I find an open bench, pull my notebook out of my bag, and start writing. Writing everything I'd done that day, and occasionally drawing pictures. I'm pretty good at art and I have a knack for drawing things from memory.

I flip to a new page.

Today was so fun! Except for school obviously. I hate doing the same thing every day but I picked what might just be the most boring track so what can you expect? Not that stuff from potions class doesn't come in handy, because it does. I can create smoke covers when demons are chasing me or just creating a distraction to get away from bullies quickly. Or mom. It's not that I'm non-confrontational, I'm pretty good at winning arguments. I just know my strengths. And physical strength is not one of them. Anyways, I found this demon called a "Snaggle back" today. It was very shy. And kinda a wimp. But who am I to judge? Finding new demons is always exciting. Oh! And a new person joined the friend group! We were a bit hesitant at letting someone new in, but someone from the Abomination track was the last one we needed! Now, with all of us, we can teach each other any form of magic we want to learn! I'm still nervous that someone is going to find out and rat us out but, with our hideout, no one will find us. Other than that, not much else happened. Anyways, if I take too much longer mom will get suspicious, and I don't want to deal with that. See you soon!

I re-pack my things and continue the walk home, going back to taking in the sights. As I look towards the horizon, I notice the time on the clock tower hit 5:53.

CRAP.

My leisurely walk turns into a sprint as I rush to get home. I am so going to be late.

I turn the sharp corners with ease and glide like a snake through the people. Soon, I'm on our street. I go straight through the lawn, and onto the porch. It's just then that I realize I could have flown home. Or even tried that new teleportation thing I learned.

I pause, catch my breath, and quietly open the door. Maybe I can slip upstairs without mom noticing.

But, no such luck.

"Luz? Honey? Is that you?" Mom calls from the kitchen

"Si, mamá." I sigh.

"Come in here."
