"AZURA, HECATE BEGAN OUR paths have crossed, only in battle. But today I stand you before seeking, an ally." Luz was reading a line from one of her Azura books as King sat on Ember's lap, both were listening.
Luz sighed, "Luz." King called out, "You're getting all swoony again." King pointed at her as Ember laughed a little.
"I can't help it, Azura is able to befriend everyone! Even her biggest rival! I wish I had that kind of power." Luz smiled, hugging the book to her chest.
"Rivals are meant to be annihilated, not befriended..." King explained, curling further into Ember's lap, "Now keep reading, I've been sucked into your awful fandom." King said, doing a shooing motion, gesturing for the amber-eyed girl to continue.
"Okay," Luz sighed, nodding as she opened her book. "Suddenly the door swung open!" Luz continued and almost right on cue, Hooty whipped the door open.
"Ding‐dong. Ding. Hoot! Hoot!" Hooty screamed, making everyone within earshot jump.
"The book has come to life! Burn it!" King yelled, hiding behind Ember while fearfully pointing at the book.
"Hmm? No, it didn't, ya goober," Ember laughed at Kings reaction, "Eda, you got a package. It looks like a gift basket." Ember said as she patted his head and Luz helped her up as they checked on what was outside. There was a basket, "What..." Ember muttered as she carried it and Luz closed the door. "Eda, you got a package!" Ember called out as she placed the basket down on the table.
"Must be from one of your ex-boyfriends." King joked, sitting up from his spot.
"It looks like a gift basket," Luz said, placing an observant hand on her chin.
"Probably an offering. Ah! Being the most powerful witch in the Boiling Isles has its perks." Eda chuckles.
King moves down the blanket revealing a sleeping baby, "Mm. Fresh meat." King said, rubbing his hands.
"No, not eating that." Luz said as she threw Ember over her shoulder and began walking towards the couch.
"Luz, what are you doing?" Ember asked, gently hitting Luz's back as she set Ember down.
Eda yawns, "Witches eating babies is so 1693. What is this?" Eda questions, scratching her hip.
"There's a note." King noticed, tugging the note off the basket, "Take care of my child till morning. Yi Yi." King read the note, raising a brow.
