The Owl House: A Witch Among Us

Separate Tides!

Within a dark cave, Luz is holding a ball of light in one hand and carrying Owlbert in his staff form in the other. She stops when she sees a large shadow on the wall in front of her and hears a deep laugh. She gasps upon hearing it.

The owner of the laugh walks closer to her, "Foolish child! Leave this place before you meet your demise!"

Luz shakes her head towards the shadow, "Do not underestimate me, Garlog! For I am the good witch, Luz, hunter of monsters!" She perches the staff on her shoulder like a bazooka, "Now eat this sucka—" She stops upon seeing the deep voiced creature, "What?"

Garlog turns out to be a tiny creature casting a shadow standing in front of a lantern. Luz easily picks him up by the tail and he lets out a squeak while trying to escape.

Luz surrounds his tiny body with her fist, "You're Garlog?" She pulls out his wanted poster, depicting him being much larger and worth 4,000 snails, compares it to the real thing, "This is pathetic."

The creature folds his arms, "Small I may be, but you will soon know fear when I lay waste to all that you—"

The human quickly puts a jar over the tiny demon, "...You were saying?"

The creature grunted, striking the jar with his fist, "Hey! Cursed thing..." He hits his body against the glass dome, grumbling.

Luz shrugs her shoulders while still putting a cork in the bottle, "I just hope Esper and King are having better luck than I am..."

...

A small figure in a hood moves across the field... Searching for something while the skull wearing creature on her shoulder sniffed the air.

The girl frowns, "Did you find anything yet?"

The small demon folds his arms, "Not yet! Jeez, be a bit more patient!" He sniffs the air again, "Wait! Wait! I definitely got something!"

The dog looking creature suddenly pointed deeper into the forest, "They're down there! We got to get to them before they reach the cave!" His hood flew off to reveal King, his eyes narrowing towards the path.

The bigger figure took her hood off, revealing Esper, before spotting three figures on the path, "I'm going! I'm going! Didn't you just tell me to be patient?"

The duo rushes ahead into the clearing, barreling towards the three figures.

Esper forms a green magic circle with her finger, spawning various vines to latch onto the biggest member of the team. She begins to pull him, "Oh no you don't!"

The man with an iron jaw shouts while holding up a large bag, "Someone caught up to us! Quick! Cut the vines!"

One of the other men spawns a hacksaw made out of stone and starts to cut the plant, "Yes, boss!" Once he cut the vine, the slice recoiled and sent Esper to the ground.

The man with the metal chin began to laugh before running, "Oh it's just a brat, guys! Haha! Nice try, twerp!"

The large man following behind him frowned, "But what if she catches up to us, Ironjaw Joe?"

The older witch shrugged his shoulders while running, "Pffft, that twerp can't keep up with us! She's got little legs!"

Hearing this, the redhead summoned a few vines with her magic, keeping both her hands full. She wrapped the two ends around the trees on each side of the opening before tying the ends in her hands together into a knot. She began to walk backwards into the vines, making them strain the further she walked into them.
