Luz the Dragon Lady

Icey Proposals

When Eda heard the chiming of the bell she was overjoyed, but seeing her Owlet come running through the door with a burned and coughing Camila in her arms immediately changed that, "Dear Titan, Luz! What happened?!"

After setting Camila on the couch gingerly, Luz started yelling, "No time. Get on the CB and call Hypox. Mami needs help and we can't take her to the Healing Coven. Without Healer Stein, I don't think there is anyone who knows enough about human anatomy to help. Please Mom, we have to hurry." While Luz did her best to try and keep Camila stable, Eda got the crystal ball. Hypox woke up irritated, but as soon as she heard Luz's tone her demeanor changed, and she started to rush over.

As much as Eda wanted to know what happened, she knew better than to distract Luz while she was working, and to her surprise Hypox demanded Luz's help when she arrived at the Owl House. The next few hours were rough on Eda, but when the duo left Luz's room, which they had turned into an impromptu healing room, they both looked exhausted, but calm. With a worried tone Eda asked, "She going to be ok kiddo? What happened?"

Hypox looked to Luz, and the girl nodded so she began, "Mrs. Noceda should be fine in a few days. Let's move to the kitchen so we don't wake her though. Luz promised me a Nightcap after that anyway." Once they were seated around Eda's table, and Hypox was given a glass of Eda's 'Human realm stash' they began to explain. "Luz will have to tell us what happened, but for now here's what we had to fix. Mrs. Noceda's lungs were full of so much soot that if Luz hadn't kept her stable till I got here she might have not made it, and she had burns all over her body. Thankfully I know a regenerative spell that will cut down on the burns, and with Luz's help there shouldn't be any scarring, but... if not for Luz allowing me to siphon some of her magic... it could have been a very different story."

Eda looked horrified, "You siphoned some of her magic! Are you insane? Even I know how unethical that is. Did you even tell Luz the risks?"

Hypox looked deeply offended, but it was Luz who answered, "I suggested it. I already knew the risks, and I did it by accident once before Mom. In my case it's actually a lot less dangerous, because I don't have a bile sack, but it still left me winded. Ms. Hypox was against it, but I didn't give her much of a choice." Luz looked away awkwardly. "Anyway, I should probably fill you in on what you missed." Luz spent the next bit telling the two older witches about what had happened, but kept most of her conversation with her Mami out since it wasn't important in her opinion.

Luz was concerned about the concealment stone, but Eda assured her it wouldn't matter since it used ambient magic to work, and without the Isles or Luz nearby to feed it the thing would lose its potency in a few hours. Less if someone tried to use it. Of much bigger concern was Eda and Jacob. Eda took a surprising amount of convincing not to go back through the door and eviscerate the man with her bare hands, but eventually Luz talked her down. As for Jacob they would have to keep an eye out, and it was decided no one was returning to Gravesfield any time soon. Thankfully Eda could alter where the door opened to, but she only knew of one other spot it went to in that realm, a dump in L.A. Eda didn't know why, but in the thirty years she'd had the door it only ever took her to one of those two spots.

Thankfully Luz found she didn't need to return to keep an eye on Jacob. With her laptop, and the door open she was able to follow his arrest and his case as it played out. The Gravesfield ban was made permanent though since it was deemed too much of a risk.

Over the next few days Luz and Eda worked on finishing the tower while Amity or King kept an eye on Camila, and it was due to this that when Camila woke up it was to a green haired girl. Waking up was less than pleasant for the older human, but Amity was ready with cool water and some crackers when she did.

Seeing her stir, Amity gently helped her sit up a bit and get comfortable, and after a few minutes to clear her head Camila asked in a croaky voice, "I'm guessing I'm not in the human realm anymore. You're... Amity, right? What happened, and why does my mouth taste like very burnt popcorn and black licorice?"
