| His Partner In Eternity | Collector x OC

" Came Back "

As they were at the Owl House, while Luz with Eda and King was telling Collector about their friendship's story

They were all smiling

Just like them, Collector felt happy, at least for now, still saving the stuff in the back of his head

He did what Raine told him, he befriended them, they made up

He would surely tell him how to get Chalent back, right?

After all, this witch was always a shady one, but can be trusted if he did what's necessary

Or maybe, after everything ends, he could go to the stars ...., ugh, fat chance

Only if the elders wouldn't be there to catch him sneaking to the castle, then just dumb him to his " guardian "

King ... there would be a chance too, only if he would let him, of course, he just doesn't want to force him-

Light

From behind, something was lighting, our fellas turned around to see, their eyes slightly widened from the surprise

Seeing a portal spreading red fire from its existence

But Collector's wider, already recognizing it, couldn't help but feel that warmth again inside, rushing a sense similar to dread, but there was no danger

From it came out Chalent, actually, more like thrown out from it

Probably Protethius had a ( once again ) bad day with his wife

Chalent grumbled, wiping the dirt from her face, as she fell on it

Looking up, her eyes widened as well, their eyes met, both of them had the light shining in it, happy

Slowly, Collector approached her, Chalent, as she was planning in her head, welcomed him a smile

Collector blinked many times, pinched his eye, his cheek, his hand, making sure if it was a dream or not, " Chal ... " he uttered, uncertainty in his voice

Her smile widened, opening her arms to him " Colly, it's me! " she exclaimed

" Chalent! " he exclaimed back, his smile wide as ever, rushing towards her

Chalent got up from her knees, just when he was immediately in front of her, the little star wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into a hug, she did the same, momentarily pressing his feet against the floor, then jump, floating through the air as he spun around himself, both of them laughing from happiness

At the other hand, Luz, Eda, King looked at each other then at them, it was a happy scene, of course, but, all of them felt uncertain about Chalent

From what they had seen from her that far

" Well, lovestar " Eda called, as our lil fellas had been like this for nearly 20 minutes, " call me a killjoy (ironically), but I think you had your moment, why not include her with us catching up? " she suggested, adding a smile, looking between her and Collector

Chalent felt his hold slightly getting tighter, soon enough it vanished, she knew they didn't trust her, at least not fully

" Oh yeah! I almost forget " he smiled, feeling excited as he floated down to them, holding her hand, " Luz, Eda, meet Chalent, she's my partner that I told you about "

" Hey, uh .." Luz lent her down her hand, giving her a smile, no fakies, just a chance " nice to meet you "

Late to tell, but they noticed the absence of that black thing in her face and horn
