LOVERS? EDA X FEM READER REMAKE

King's Tide

King wakes up and finds himself again in the In Between Realm, overhearing a conversation between Belos and the Collector.

"But—But you said. You said you'd let me out! I hate it here!"
"Just a little longer. We have to wait 'till after the Draining Spell."

King floats over to the source of the voices and watches them from behind a pillar. The Collector is trapped in a mysterious floating orb, while Belos is speaking from a small round piece of glass floating nearby.

"You better not be fibbing. You pinky-swore me."
"Patience, Collector, you can trust me." King scoffs at this.
"Hm? Who's there?!"

King wakes up in Willow's lap, breathing heavily.
"It's okay, King, it's okay."

King, Willow, Alador, Amity, Gus, Y/n and Hunter are all aboard the airship. Amity is worriedly pacing back and forth, Gus is inspecting his power amplifier, and three of the gang's palismen are huddled in a shaking pile. Hunter does various adjustments to the air ship to help steer it.

"I know how to fly a ship."
"Then fly faster! We're barely halfway there. Luz could be in trouble!"
"Maybe if I took the wheel..."

"Very eager to return to Belos, eh, Golden Guard?"
"At least I've never built him an army!"
"Watch your tone with me, young man."
"Don't talk to my son like that." Y/n stood in front of Alador face to face.

Alador lets go of the steering wheel, causing the ship to tilt and Gus to fall out of his seat.
"Hey, here's a bright idea: don't distract the pilot!"
"He started it!"

Alador, Hunter, Gus, Y/n and Amity all start yelling at each other angrily. King and Willow watch sadly from the back of the ship.

"I can't believe she's gonna face Belos alone again. And I'm powerless to help her. We can't even manage to help each other."

Willow lifts up Clover, and nods to her. Clover chirps and flies over to where the other palismen are. The palismen push a box of cheeses, bread, and apples over to the arguing witches, interrupting their fighting. Gus' stomach growls.

"Meow!"
"Look, we're all exhausted and terrified. Let's focus our energy on helping Luz instead of fighting each other."

Everyone nods. They all take a snack from the box. Gus fist bumps Hunter as an apology. Alador then gestures Hunter to steer the wheel with a sincere smile. To the side, Amity is rubbing her hands together from the cold, but Alador summons Abomination goo to cover her hands. He sits down next to her.

"Hmm? Aw, this is just like when I was a kid." Amity realizes something. "Wait. Is this why you call me "Mittens"?" Alador just smiles at her and eats his bread.
"That was amazing!"
Willow has clover fly back to her hand. "There's always a way to help. You just have to look for the right opportunity."
"Thanks, Willow. I'll... remember that."
King lies down to go back to sleep.

-Titan's head-

The moon and sun are nearing an eclipse. All Coven witches from across the isles have gathered into a large, circular area. Belos appears on top of a raised platform in the center, and the crowd gasps. Belos grins deviously, then projects a larger version of himself. Everyone starts cheering.

"Children of the Isles! For too long, our world has been home to an insidious pox. A corruption that defiles the Titan's blessings. But today, that changes." Belos reaches toward the sun and moon.

"United with the Titan, and the power of the eclipse, we shall wipe out wild magic forever. Paradise awaits!" Belos' projection fades out, and six of the Coven Heads walk out onto the central platform.
