Bringing Light

The Plan

After Eda's transformation was reversed, Luz realises just how bad the curse had been getting, it had taken nearly 15 elixirs and indigo holding back Eda's owl form for nearly ten minutes to turn her back to normal.

Eda removes the bottle from her mouth, looking at Indigo who was in the process of letting her go, who then moved to the couch to slump over it, panting with fatigue.

"Whoa, sorry bout that kids, thanks for this" as she stands she looks down at the other 14 bottles

"And... those, everyone alright?"

Luz nods "Yeah, Indigo kept you in one spot for us to give you the elixirs"

Eda glances back at the exhausted witch on the couch who gives a weary thumbs up before letting the arm fall back to their side, staring at the ceiling.

Luz spots something odd and reaches forward to move Eda's scarf.

"Eda! Your gem is still dark!" Luz exclaims.

"No it's not! You're crazy!" Eda says defensively, but under Luz's scrutinizing gaze, as well as King and Indigo turning to stare at her.

"Alright alright, the curse has been getting worse, I need to conserve more of my magic to keep it at bay, but it's okay, I'm managing just fine!" Eda says.

"Is that why you're making that witches wool you mentioned this morning?" Luz asks.

"Yup, it's to protect me from powerful spells, every witch worth their salt has a cape made of the stuff"

Luz looks very excited "I'm worth salt! I want cloak!" She says excitedly.

"Yes you are worth salt, don'tchu worry some time we'll get you one too, heck maybe we can add those little cat ears off of your hoodie to it too" Eda says and ruffles Luz hair, Luz gives a gigfle but when her eyes fall on Eda's gem, her face loses its light, slipping to a saddened look.

"Ah dont make that face kid, I knoe whats gonna happen, just do it" Eda says and moves her arms so Luz can jump at uer into a tght hug.

"Ugh, alright, time for you to go... i dunno, read to Indigo some more..." Eda says and lets Luz fall off her back to her spot on Indigo's legs, handing her the azura book they had been reading.

Luz watched Eda run off upstairs and glances at Indigo, who had been watxching Eda with her eyes the entire time.

"I know you can't tell me everything but... is Eda okay?" She asks anxiously.

Indigo meets Luz's eye, their hesitation makes Luz nervous until they finally speak.

"She ehs fine Luz" they say and reach out to ruffle Luz's hair "Jus' a lil stressed ou' thah curse and her sister are causin' a loh o' drama for er" they try to assure Luz, not knowing those words make Luz's mind think up a plan, they can only read that Luz isnt feeling as bad now as she starts back where they left off in the book.

-At Blight Manor-

Emira checks her stitching once more, she had finally perfected the circle, despite the Owl Ladys offer to finish it, she was determined to do this, the golden thread became more and more like the image before her, it took hours of work and a lot of redo's but evenrually the cloak now had a wolfbat glyph stitched into the hood.

Emira felt pleased with her work, checking every stitch just to be sure, she really wanted it to work, Edric was so excited about getting it and showing it to Indigo, though he was surprisingly patient as well, not bugging either of his sisters about it, the only reason she knew was how giddy he was being, always having a big smile on his face.
