THE OWL HOUSE EVIL AU (lumity)

Part 34 Last Resort

The day after Reika's return more understanding was needed.

Reika- It's going to happen soon, the chaos I can feel it.

King- but I didn't think that was gonna happen for a year or two

Reika- looks like there has been a change of plans on there side, It could be any day now.

Luz-  do guys think I am ready?

There was a long pause With no one's voice to be heard.

Eda- No one can ever be ready to stop world domination... But you are the closest thing to ready.

Luz- I know this doesn't really fit with what we are talking about but our we ever gonna talk about those creepy versions of me and my glowing eyes? It's just been on my mind alot lately.

Another long pause was in order.

Lilith- what more is there to say? , me and Eda believe that you might of had an illusions curse placed on you oh and also You didn't actually make a deal with it during your time in the stones? Did you?

Luz- looking back hmmm,No I don't think they have ever hurt me just reeeally creeeped me out. And no I was to indecisive as usual to make an up front decision

Lilith- I don't want to be construed as dismissive any curse is still a curse and important to keep an eye on but I believe this one was only a minor illusions.

Luz- don't worry about being 'dismissive' I am happy to be told that things are only minor instead of not knowing if things are majorly serious.

Willow noticed Reika slipping away at some point and followed her to the door. Reika then suddenly turned around to face the not so subtle witch.

Reika- Don't take this as flattery but I can tell you are a powerful plant witch.

Willow- what is it that you are trying to do.

Reika- I NEED a tree.

Willow nodded and took Reika outside

Willow- take your pick

Willow's voice was incredibly condescending as she pointed around at each tree.

Reika- this is serious It might be the only thing that we can use to trap that demon.

Willow- We need to explain this to the others, if you really think plant magic  will help then I suppose I can try to support your Idea.

Willow spoke as she tapped the edges of her glasses.

After explaining their plan

Luz- I dunno if I am the only one here who doesn't understand but how do you trap a person using a tree?

Reika by creating a powerfull tree and carving it out to seal someone inside.

Luz- but If we seal the demon inside we would be sealing Amity inside!

Reika-  Well It's just a last resort...

Everyone went silent

Luz- Why is it that everyone is being so quiet today, It's kinda making me feel even more uneasy. I am gonna go and think.

Luz went upstairs to think and maybe even cry a little, the tears blurred her vision as she desperately tried to wipe them away and understand more about the mysterious spell she had found. The only new explanation she could recover  was that the it undoes a wrong to make a right. Those words seemed very comforting to luz.

Eda- oh wow I can't believe they are making me do this, of all people.

Eda mutter as she approached Luz's room.

Eda- Ok Luz is it alright for me to come in.

Luz- Yeah it's fine.

Eda walked into the room to find Luz with a tear stained face.

Eda- Oh boy, Luz hearing what Reika said shook those Blight twins too they are outside trying to calm themselves down it's not easy news for any of you even lilith my unapologetically uptight sister is having a hard time keeping it together, what I am trying to get at is... Well... Don't worry you are not alone in what you are feeling.

Luz lunged into Eda and hugged her mentor.

Luz- thanks Eda I really did need this kind of talk, it's just with all the long pauses today that we all keep having I just don't feel like we are making any progress.

Eda- look kid, We are all on edge, feelings running high for us. We just need to calm down and chill.

Luz- I don't know how I am supposed to chill when all I have been learning is how to fight her, there is no way of reversing the effects only an ancient spell that I am not even sure if it works.

Eda- Ancient magic is what started all this in the first place, can I take a look.

Luz handed the book to Eda along with multiple ripped pages.

Eda- weird, these drawings show ancient ones casting on the ground with rocks and not In the air. Kinda similar to the way you cast things Luz.

Luz- Oh Eda what am I going to do beat the evil out of her using spells or something. This one spell It's gotta work if we could ever just find a way to temporarily just keep her from moving then this spell could work.

Eda- I wouldn't put too much hope into ancient drawings or people who may as well be classed as ancient y'know the ones thay live in a cave all day and debate over who is more wise.

Luz- kinda reminds me of some people on the Internet.

Eda- well I was referring to Reika's 'wise' old ones but you are probably right too, I mean I don't know much about human stuff.

Luz- you say that you're not good at this sort of talking thing but you are actually kind of like a mo-

Eda- say motherly figure and you will hope that it is you curse that drives you crazy instead of me the infamous owl lady.

Luz- this reminds me of that one time when you looked after the bat queen's  baby... Babies actually, I guess. And i said pretty much the same thing then

Eda- Ok Luz noceda the human witch where is my staff. Hey Owlbet some one has just signed there own name up for some seriously powerful hex testing.

Luz and Eda continued to laugh for the remainder of the time meanwhile seriousness still somewhat hung in the almost other worldly area down stairs, REAL directions need to be made.

Author note-
This was definitely a more chatty kind of chapter alot of thoughts and opinions have been shared, as usual I try to find a balance between action and talking but I always lean on the more talk oriented and interaction type of writing. I don't know how many more chapters exactly it will be until the ending but it probably won't be too long now.
