The Glyph Of Love

Luz's POV:

Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god.

I. Was. Terrified.

After I cracked emperor Belos's eye when saving Eda, he's been out to get me, but now I had to confront him. I'm spiraling, I'm going to fall. I'm going to die, I'm literally going to die. I'm so going to die. I can't do this.

I hugged everyone one more time, kissed my gif and went on my way. My legs were shaking, and my stomach was trembling. I reached him. I made myself a sword out of rose spikes and ice, and I lit it on fire. He said he wanted to talk but I knew he wanted to kill me. I drew an ice glyph on my shoes and every step I made left a trail of ice.

If I'm going to die, I'm doing to die spectacularly. I reached him, with terror and fear in my eyes. I froze. He was holding my girlfriend. "I know you can kill me, but can you kill her?" he said "YOU MONSTER" I yelled while crying, I ran towards him and went to grab her, but she turned in to dust and flew in the wind.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER" I could barely see in between the curtain of my tears. "she was never real." He smugly said. He snapped his fingers and she reappeared on the floor right in front of me: "Luz I will always love you"she said, and then disappeared, once again, leaving me forever. "Go with her Luz, go back to the human realm, she's waiting for you. "at this point, I could not see a thing, I was crying too harshly.

"NO!" I screamed at him "I will do whatever it takes, to get you of the boiling isles." he said "Make them hell. I dont care. Try to get rid of me, I won't go away that easily." I was about to faint out of fear, but I couldnt let him see that. I had to stand up strong. For me, for Eda, for King, for the isles. "ugh." he said "This potion will give everyone who drinks it magic. Drink it and you will become a real witch." "I AM A REAL WITCH" I yelled. I threw all of my glyphs at him, every glyph I tried didnt work. I was mad, sad, and I had nothing to lose. He's mean. I looked into his eyes. All I saw was darkness.

Thats it! Darkness! I remembered how King once told me that monsters with dark eyes are sensitive to light, and how we used it to save Eda. I grabbed my pencil and I drew a giant circle on the wall. I was spiraling, I tried to remember; circle, spike, line, triangle, two parallel lines, done, a light glyph. He was closing in on me: my life flashed before my eyes.

Well, here it goes.

I slammed my hand against the wall, and a giant ball of light appeared, the emperor tried to resist it, but he turned in to dust. It worked. I can't believe it worked! The dust revolved around me and I heard his voice faintly saying: this isn't over Luz, I'm going to come back and kill you like I killed king, and you are going to become the next bones of the isle" and then he vanished, like my first, and probably only ever girlfriend. Wait.. what did he day? The isles are made of... King? So.. he was actually the king of demons?

My thought was interrupted be the sound of a bottle falling. Oh my god! The witch's potion! I quickly grabbed it a second before the door burst open, and Eda and king hugged me and said: "Amity came by the owl house and told us you're in danger, we wanted to help you but the stupid guard won't let us in. I.. can't do magic anymore so I couldnt help" "but you did help!" I said "thanks to you and King I knew how to beat Belos" I hugged king, he tried to escape but then he gave up. "thank you King, but, why didn't you tell me you were the isles?" "I.." king said "I didnt want you to think differently of me because of it " I love that little rat.

My friends and literally the rest of Hexide came in and congratulated me "congrats Luz!" They said "haha.. thanks" I replied, and yet I felt, empty. Now that I have defeated Emperor Belos I was supposed to choose the new emperor. I had no doubt that its going to be Lilith, responsible, smart, Eda's friend (now). But something was missing. More like, someone, my girlfriend. And then Amity said the words that I didnt want to hear in that moment: "hey, Luz, you still coming to the sleepover tonight right?" "yeah, definitely"

Why??? Why did I say that? I'm dumb. The last thing I want to do right now in interact with people. I just found own my soulmate wasnt real. I need to curl up in my bed and cry.

I spotted Eda failing to do a light glyph in the corner, I looked at the tiny bottle with the blue, glowing liquid in my hand, "This potion will give everyone who drinks it magic" I remember Belos saying, and I went to talk with her. "here" I handed her the bottle "drink this and you could do magic again! You'll go back to being the most powerful witch on the isles!" "but.. your dream is to become a witch.." Eda said "I am a witch! How else would I be able to beat Belos?" I smiled at her. She drank the potion and drew a circle in the air, a heart made out of light rose, and she hugged me "thank you kid, you're the best thing that ever happened to me." She hugged me, and we both started crying. Of course, king joined the hug, we're like family.
