Flashback - Mystical Forest

(The chapter starts in the middle of a mystical forest, during a boiling rainstorm. A small, furry creature peeks out from a log when, then hides back in when a hooded man runs past. He runs into a ruined building to seek shelter from the boiling rain and pull their hood down, revealing himself to be aY/n, with his long hair in a pony tail and the hair itself having a few small dark streaks on it.

He looks at his cape, annoyed that the rain had burnt holes in it. As he starts to walk further in, unbeknownst to him, a pair of glowing yellow eyes appear from a crevice within a pile of fallen rocks. Y/n wanders further into the ruins, past a cluster of stacked rock formations, when a shadowy figure runs past in the foreground, startling Y/n, he brandishes his staff with a fox dragon hybrid palisman)

Past Y/n: Who's there? Come out from the shadows!

(Cut to a perspective view from this mysterious figure, approaching Y/n from behind. Y/n turns around and gasps)

Flashback End - The Owl House

(In the present, Luz is at the Owl House. She is studying and experimenting with glyphs in a notebook)

Luz: Hmmm...

(She starts drawing a glyph, but scribbles it out. She makes a frustrated grunt. King dives through, tumbling books over)

King: Luz, I need your help! I think Francois is trying to start a rebellion.

(Pan to the couch, covered in King's plushies. Francois, his pale pink bunny, is sitting in the center on a pillow. After a beat, a jagged dagger with a red gem on the hilt falls out from behind him)

Luz: In a minute, King. I'm getting so close to figuring out this glyph combo.

King: It's always glyphs and portals with you these days. What about King?

Luz: Why don't you ask Lilith for help? She was in the Emperor's coven. She has more experience with unruly mobs than anyone.

(Lilith is kneeling at the desk, extremely focused on drawing a glyph with a red paintbrush. She's bent over, eyes only a short distance from the paper. Her hair is messy and the whites of her eyes are huge, with tiny irises. She starts giggling giddily)

Lilith: Watching the ink dry is the best part.

(King grunts in disapproval. Hooty gives Lilith a mug)

Hooty: A fresh cup of tea for my favorite cup of tea. That's you, Lulu.

(Lilith smooths her hair, and her eyes turn back to normal)

Lilith: Hootsifer, you truly are a gem.

(She pets his head)

Lilith: How do you always know what to do?

(King whispers to Luz)

King: What's going on? Is Hooty blackmailing her?

Luz: Oh, I think they're actually friends. Isn't that nice?

(She closes her book and stands up, holding a glyph)

Luz: Okay, this will work for sure. Now you see me...
