The Strange Adventures on the Boiling Isles (The Owl House x Male Reader)

S02E04: Keeping up A-fear-ances

The scene opens with total darkness

YOUNG EDA (NARRATE): It always starts the same way.

A young Eda suddenly gasps and sits up, panting.

YOUNG EDA (NARRATE): I wake up someplace dark.

Eda finds herself in a shadowy void. She stands up and looks around with a frightened expression. A shadow flashes past behind her. She turns around to look at it.

YOUNG EDA (NARRATE): And then it appears.

The Owl Beast appears. It steps on the ground, causing it to shake. It then stretches its neck towards Eda, stops before her, and screeches. Eda cries out in surprise, then turns around and runs away, panting and crying. 

The scene then transitions to her in her room. She is sitting on her bed, telling this to a healer from the Healing Coven and her mother.

YOUNG EDA: And eventually... I wake up and I know I turned into... that thing.

HEALER: I see. Here, take this.

The healer hands over a large gem to Eda.

HEALER: It will tell you when the beast's energy is bubbling to the surface. Also, I hear gems are quite fashionable for young witches.

GWENDOLYN: Oh, what a beautiful little stone. (To Healer) May I speak with you outside?

Gwendolyn ushers the healer outside.

GWENDOLYN: Just a minute, hon.

Eda's mom closes the door. Outside the room, she starts scolding the healer. Eda gets up and eavesdrops on their conversation behind the door.

GWENDOLYN: What the heck was that? I thought you were in the Healing Coven, not the Bauble Brigade.

HEALER: Mrs. Clawthorne, we have never seen a curse quite like this. I'm not sure it can be healed. Perhaps if we consult the Potions Coven, they may know a way to keep it at bay.

GWENDOLYN: Keep it at bay? Oh, no. My daughter is suffering and I want that thing out! Cut it out if you have to.

Upon hearing that, Eda gasps and covers her mouth. She pants and clutches her chest. Then, she looks up and notices that her window is open. The wind blows, causing it to swing and squeak.

Gwendolyn pushes the door open.

GWENDOLYN: Edalyn, I'm taking you to someone else.

Gwendolyn looks up.

GWENDOLYN: Huh?

Gwendolyn notices the open window. 

The scene then cuts to Eda running through a forest. She eventually stops to catch her breath and starts walking while looking around.

YOUNG EDA: I never knew this was back here.

Eda trips over something and falls. She turns around to see what made her fall.

YOUNG EDA: Huh?

Eda notices a suitcase-like object buried in the sand. She picks it up and wipes off the dirt on its surface, revealing an eye shape. The eye then flashes, and the suitcase flies off Eda's hand. It folds open, with a key turning the lock, unlocking it. A door then opens, revealing it to be a portal leading to an unknown realm. 

YOUNG EDA: What?

Gwendolyn calls out Eda's name in the distance.

GWENDOLYN: Edalyn! Edalyn, is that you?
