The journey to find the Moonstone had been a long and bumpy road. Rapunzel and her friends set out on the journey. They had made new friends, traveled to new lands, reunited with old friends, secrets revealed and so much more. But while Rapunzel had been traveling, the young alchemist Varian had escaped from the prison.
"A spy! Hooty, hoot, hoot!" The carving said happily before forcefully dragging Varian inside.
He stumbled a bit forward then he heard someone coming, a woman with long gray hair, one yellow eye, one gray eye, and wearing a red dress. "Hooty what did I say about trapping random people? You alright kid?" The woman asked.
The woman helped him up and introduced herself as Eda, The Owl Lady. Then a familiar girl walked in with another woman with dark hair and mismatched eyes like Eda's. Varian recognized the girl from that castle and the girl recognized Varian from the portal door earlier. "My Name is Luz, nice to meet you!" Luz said, holding out her arm.
"Uh... My name is Varian. Nice to meet you too." Varian shook her hand.
"Light in the darkness, glittering brig of ice, the mightiest trees in the forest! You can make all these and more with glyph magic! Welcome to day three of Luz's Magic Boot Camp." Luz shouts with pride as King is startled by the fire and runs away screaming.
Since Lilith and Eda lost their magic; Luz has been giving them and Varian lessons on glyphs. They had already covered all the glyphs Luz had found since she didn't know where to find more. Eda also got Varian enrolled at Hexside so he can learn more about the Boiling Isles.
She did ask Varian about what he had said about being afraid to get backstabbed by someone again. So, he told them his story, the black rocks, his father, everything. All of them felt sorry for Varian and what he had gone through.
Luz pulled Varian into a tight hug. "Um, what's this for?" he asked.
"Just felt like you could use a hug. And once we find a way back to the Human Realm, the first thing we're gonna do is free your dad." Luz stated.
"What? But I tried everything."
"Maybe not everything. We'll figure this out together. After all, us weirdos stick together."
Gus gestured to Varian to go next. He was nervous but he kneeled and stated his wish, his wish was to become a great alchemist just like Demanitus and to make his father proud. The Bat Queen thought his wish was perfect for Sapphire, a blue bird that became his palismen.
Varian searched the Golden Guard's pocket for anything useful. He didn't find anything, but he did find a piece of paper that had the same markings as the scroll piece he found in his father's things.
He told Sapphire to wake up the guard so he could get answers. Sapphire flew close to the guard's face and then pulled on the hair cowlick which woke up the guard. The guard struggled to get free from the vines until he stared right at Varian with his magenta eyes. Varian got lost in those eyes until he snapped out of it and pointed the Golden Guard's staff at the guard. "Listen, you are a bad person and I do not like you. But Kikimora is trying to have you killed and I need you to help me." Varian stated.
"And why should I help you?" The Golden Guard snipped.
"Unless you want to be food for that creature, you don't have a choice. I'm prepared to offer you a deal. You will join me, free the Palismen and Luz from Kikimora, and you'll let us go. Then, and only then, will I return your staff to you. That is my deal." Varian explained.
