Hearts of the Boiling Isles (Season 1)

CHAPTER 4: The Intruders

[Open on the Owl House exterior. Cut to a video recording of King's eye]

Luz: *voiceover* And here we have the most fearsome creature in the world, the King of Demons.

Luz zooms out the recording to show King trying to tear a sock off his nose.

Luz: Facing his natural enemy, the ducky sock.

King tears the sock into pieces, then steps on and punches the remnants.

King: Where are you now, ducky sock?!

[Cut to Luz and Sora sitting next to each other with phones in their hands]

Luz: That's a cool-looking phone.

Sora: Thanks. It's called a Gummiphone.

Luz: Gummi? As in candy?

Sora: Not quite.

King: *clears throat* Luz.

Luz: Oh, sorry, King. So, why'd you call me here again?

King: Glad you ask, now heed my words.

King climbs up a table.

King: Human Luz, you've been so obsessed with witchcraft that you haven't learned anything about my kind. Prepare yourself for...

King rips off a curtain to reveal a corkboard of photos of various demons, puts on a hat, and spins the cord on top of it.

King: Demons 101. Demons like me are grim tricksters of the twilight, creatures of sulfur and bone.

Luz: *zooming in with her camera* And cute little paws.

King: *sigh* And cute little paws. True. We live only to create chaos and misery. Our only weaknesses are purified water and passive‐aggressive comments. Sometimes.

Luz: Oh, you guys are sensitive.

King: Even demons have inner demons.

King then tears off one of the pictures to reveal a snarling demon.

King: The most powerful demon of all is the Snaggleback. He is a‐‐

Luz: Bad boy!

Luz applies colored filters that appear over the screen, followed by several stickers. Luz aims her phone down and taps on her screen.

King: Luz, pay attention. This information could save your life someday.

Luz: No, no. I am so paying attention. This is my paying attention face. *nodding* Mm‐hmm, mm‐hmm, mm‐hmm.

Lightning crashes, immediately followed by a thunder rumble. Luz, Sora, and King look outside.

King: Uh‐oh. Looks like it's gonna rain.

Luz: *gasp* I love the rain.

Sora: Alright!

King: Hey, wait.

Luz opens the door and exhales.

Luz: I always love feeling the first few drops in my hair.

Luz and Sora walk towards a flower and kneel.

Luz: I bet you do too, little buddy.

A water drop drops down to the flower, making it wither and die immediately.

Luz: What?

Sora: ?!

Eda yells out to everyone near the house.

Eda: Boiling rain! Everybody, inside, now!

Luz: Huh? *yelps*

Eda grabs Luz and Sora's arms and drags them inside. Objects crash and clatter.
