The Owl House Page #2

Season #1 Episode #19: Young Blood, Old Souls

---

Guard:
Sir, the Owl Lady's human student has been apprehended.

Warden Wrath:
Very good. Ah, Luz the Human. How I've waited to see you again. Now I'll have my revenge and you'll have front row seats to Eda's demise.

[Wrath opens the paddy wagon doors and is bombarded by branches]

Warden Wrath:
[screams]

Emperor's Coven Guard: Huh?

Luz:
[screams and slams an ice glyph on the ground]

[A spear of ice pins the Emperor's Guard to the ceiling. Wrath shoves away the branches, then is captured by several ice pillars. Luz walks up to him with King on her shoulder]

Luz:
Where's Eda?

Warden Wrath:
She's in the holding cell in the dungeon.

Luz:
Draw me a map!

[Cut to outside, where an audience is gathered]

Member 1:
Do you really think Eda deserves a petrification?

Member 2:
I don't know. This is all happening so fast.

Willow:
If we know anything about Luz, she's going to be here trying to save Eda.

Gus:
And we'll be here to save her when she needs us!

Willow:
Let's split up and find her!

[Zoom out to see Lilith watching the crowd from a window]

Kikimora:
Fools! You let the human escape! And you drew her a map?

Lilith:
Worry not, Kikimora. I shall capture the human.

[Cut to a hallway, where two guards are hanging in vines from the ceiling, another can only be seen by his legs, a fourth is holding his hands in front of a fire, and a fifth is encased in ice. Luz walks away from the scene, running to a padlocked set of double doors]

Luz:
King, watch the door.

King:
Weh.

[Luz steps forward and places an ice glyph on the lock, freezing and breaking it. She enters the room and pulls out a light glyph]

Beast Eda:
[growling off screen]

Luz:
Eda? Eda!

[Luz runs to her, but bounces off when her wing twitches. Beast Eda turns at the noise and growls, going in for the attack]

Luz:
[pulls out an activated light glyph] Eda, wait! It's me! It's me.

Beast Eda:
[closes her eyes, reopens them to reveal them being gold again] Luz? Oh no, oh no no no no no wh- what are you doing here?

Luz:
It's okay Eda, I'm here to save you.

[She activates a fire glyph on the chain keeping Eda in place, but the flame does nothing]

Beast Eda:
Your magic isn't strong enough for this. You need to leave! Now.

Luz:
But, but I can't! It's my fault you needed to save me. It's my fault you got captured.

Beast Eda:
No. Listen to me. I'm here because of my own actions. I went against Belos's law, and for a while I was able to get away with it. But, [sighs] well without magic, I can't do much. I don't regret anything. I lived freely and... I got to meet you.

Luz:
Eda...

Beast Eda:
But if you stay here, I won't be able to protect you. You need to leave. Now!

Luz:
But we're a family! Us weirdos have to stick together, remember?

[Eda sticks a claw into her hair, pulling out the key for the portal door. She activates it, making the door rise from the floor. It opens as she speaks, revealing the same path that Luz chased Owlbert down at the beginning of the summer]

Beast Eda:
You have a family already. Go back to them. And when you're home, use your fire magic to destroy the portal door. [places the key around Luz's neck] I don't know why Belos wants it, but we can't take any chances.

Luz:
[looks at Eda with tears in her eyes before tucking the key under her cloak and hugging her] I love you, Eda.

Beast Eda:
I love you too, kiddo.

[A siren blares as a door in the ceiling opens]

Beast Eda:
Luz, get away!

[Eda pushes Luz away as the chain around her neck glows blue and transforms into a cage. The ground beneath Eda begins to rise]

Luz:
No! [runs forward and grabs a hold of the bottom of Eda's claw] Not yet!

Beast Eda:
I'm sorry. [pushes Luz off] Goodbye Luz.

Luz:
Eda!

[The platform completely rises into the ceiling with an air of finality. Luz cries into her hand, kneeling between the door to the human realm and where Eda had been just moments before. Cut to the door as it opens suddenly]

Lilith:
Drat!

King:
Let me go!

Lilith:
I'm too late, at least I found you, human.

Luz:
You. You hurt Eda. You put her in chains. And now, I will take you down! [yells as she jumps at Lilith, activating spell cards]

Lilith:
[drops King to block Luz's spell with her staff] I just wanna talk!

Luz:
Talk to the glyph, witch!

[Luz slams five plant glyphs to the ground at once, summoning several tendrils to trap Lilith. She breaks through them easily with a spin of her staff, but Luz uses the distraction to jump onto Lilith]

Lilith:
Ah, stop! What is wrong with you?

[The two walk through the still-open portal door]

King:
Luz! [follows them through the door]

[Luz and Lilith fall off the porch of the house in the human realm. King follows through a second later. Luz is the first to recover, looking at the forest they landed in as the wind blows her cloak and hair. Lilith stands behind her with her hands glowing blue]

King:
Luz, watch out! [is pulled to the ground by vines]

Luz:
[dives out of the way of Lilith's spell and pulls a fire glyph out] Fire! [the glyph disintegrates in her hands] What?

Lilith:
[tackles Luz] Please, just listen to me!

Luz:
No way! You deserve to be petrified! Not Eda!

Lilith:
You're right. [backs away from Luz] I deserve to be in Edalyn's place.

Luz:
Why did you do all this?

Lilith:
When Edalyn and I were younger, we were, the best of friends.

[Cut to flashback of a young Lilith and Eda, wearing Potions-track Hexside uniforms, running through the woods while laughing. Young Eda trips, then sits up to reveal her knee bleeding. She starts crying. Young Lilith turns around and kneels in front of her, cupping Eda's face to wipe her tears before putting their foreheads together]

Young Lilith:
With this spell declared, let the pain be shared.

[Half of Eda's wound transfers to Lilith's knee. She winces, but both of them grin. Cut to a teenage Eda and Lilith practicing duels with a mop and a broom respectively]

Lilith:
[voiceover] Being in the Emperor's Coven was my dream. I wanted to work along side the most powerful witch on the Isles and make the world a better place.

[Eda spins the mop easily, while Lilith whacks herself in the head with her broom]

Lilith:
[voiceover] Eda wanted to be with me, but there was a problem.

[Cut to the Hexside Grudgby pitch, where a field day is being held. Teen Eda and Lilith are standing in front of the Emperor's Coven stand]

Emperor's coven delegate: One spot is available. You duel tomorrow. The winner will join our ranks.

Lilith:
[voiceover] I knew Edalyn would beat me. She was younger, but worked twice as hard. She met me at my level.

[Teen Lilith walks away from the stand while Eda reaches out to her. Cut to Teen Lilith wearing a cloak and walking through the Night Market]

Lilith:
[voiceover] Emperor Belos always said, "To be great, you have to make sacrifices." What would he do in my situation? I found a spell that would take away her powers.
