Bab 7: Chapter 7: Covention
At the Human Collectibles stall Eda is dusting while Luz is reading her Good Witch Azura to King where Azura challenges rival Hecate to a witches duel after Hecate had done some dishonour.
"As much as it pains me to have to hear this flowery language again, this does sets up what happened later..." mused Eda as the Azura fans in the audience were listening to how Luz told the section of the story.
"You mean 'foreshadowing' Eda." Luz tells her as Eda just grunts.
She then shows a small flip book that she had drawn at the bottom page and the next one.
There were giggles at this and Amity was thinking that Luz shouldn't vandalise a precious Azura book like this.
King asks to be shown the picture and said that he could draw better than that and they once called him the king of artists, Luz asks if he is just making this stuff up now.
Eda was thinking about whether to tell Luz about how she found King and raised him but decided against it. She could tell from a glance at Camila's face that she didn't buy his claims.
King says his followers would leave him offerings of fear.
Luz offers more of the book and Eda asks that she stops reading it as it's flowery language is an insult to witches and driving away their customers, Luz asks what customers as not only are there no customers there but it's the only stand in the area.
"How did you not notice before?" Principal Hal asked taking most people by surprise.
"Eda sometimes has us set up shop quite early, saying that it's too attract any early customers Principal Hal..." Luz explained but her eyes widened and looked over her seat to see her human school principal there along with some students. "Principal Hal... What are you doing here and I can explain these strange people around you..." Luz muttered as Camila was in shock as well.
"I can explain; before this episode started I had an idea and I paused reality and decided to bring in some more people, had you all disappear so that they could all catch up." Cornholio explained simply and their eyes widened wondering what couldn't these Authors do.
"Not really sure what to say but I see that you have had a most productive Summer so far Ms Noceda, even if your choice of company leaves a lot to be desired..." Hal said as some human students muttered about how cool it was that Luz had gotten to stay in a realm filled with monsters.
"great another human critic, you think your opinion matters to me as I remember your face... You're the bozo that suggested my apprentice go to the individualism breaking factory in the first place!" Eda retorted shaking her head as Hal looked fearful.
"Ms Amity!" shouted a familiar voice and Amity paused and slowly waved to Braxas when she noticed him but thankfully no one noticed him to which she was grateful. There were other kids that she would read stories to there but hopefully no one notices or points them out to her.
Luz asks what is going on and Eda calls it a bad omen, Willow and Gus excitedly comes over with a poster for the Covention.
Camila giggled to which Luz looked up to her mother, "Sorry Luz but the pun is kind of amusing." She told her and Luz giggled as it was kind of amusing to looks from the other people.
Willow explains that all the student witches get to see the Covens before they are placed in one and there is even a mystery guest.
Eda smirked thinking of what happened between her and the mystery guest.
Luz asks Eda if they can go and Eda says absolutely not, saying that she didn't join a Coven since for a fun club for witches they are giving up their magical independence to be part of a crooked system.
"What a bad influence you are to the poor girl Edalyn." said Bump shaking his head.
"Come on Bump, I already deal with her judging my every move so I don't need you as well." Eda snapped pointing to Eda and then pointed her head to Hal glaring at him as he shrinked in his seat. "Are you going to be the joining the Let's Criticise Eda Coven?" Eda asked sarcastically as Hal was silent.
Willow puts down her poster slightly sadly and Eda just says no judgement.
There were scoffing from some of the students.
Eda says that they hadn't been in one since they were girls and Luz asks about 'we' and if she has a mysterious past.
"I thought that you learned that this is no storybook adventure when you met with that puppeteer thing..." Hal asked Luz as the human students shuddered thinking about it.
"Old habits and I still have the tropes in my head to fall back on." Luz replied.
Luz says that they have got to go but still Eda refuses, Luz slyly says that she leads her no choice as King picks up the Azura books and starts reading from it. Eda finds the flowery language awful as she gets the magical door open and steps through it, Luz picks up King and throws him through it before it closes.
"That was sneaky, conniving and makes me so proud of you." Eda admitted as there were laughs from the assembled students.
It opens back up again as Eda walks out with King on her head saying that she will literally do anything to stop it.
The hall it is shown advertising the Covention that day and Alchemists Anonymous the next day; Luz, Willow and Gus are excited while King is standing there and Eda closes her eyes and pinches her nose.
The opening is shown.
"That is kind of cool..." muttered one of the human students as some just huffed as Luz smiled that at least she might be seen as less as a weirdo outcast to her fellow school peers.
Eda is getting her cowl up saying to keep a low profile, Luz helps asking if it's necessary and Eda reminds her about her wanted posters asking if they were all for petty theft as stuff comes out.
People were laughing at both this and the timing.
She puts the stuff back in saying that she disobeyed the law refusing to join a Coven and if she is seen then she can go to jail again. Willow says that maybe this informative event will inspire her to join a coven and Eda responds by magically pulling Willow's hood over her eyes saying to just get it over with leading Luz in.
Boscha and her posse members were laughing at Willow as she had her head down and Camila was glaring at Eda, "She was practically asking for that since she was there when I made my feelings about Covens known." Eda tried to defend herself.
"I just wanted to give helpful advice..." Willow muttered putting her head up.
Luz looks at the inside of the Covention in awe asking if she was even alive before then, Gus explains that the banners up are the main nine ones but there are hundreds of others that she can join.
"You look just like when we attended that Comic Con together." Camila told Luz with a smile and Luz smiled at the memory of that event. She even got to play Azura in a re-enactment of a scene from the books!
Luz and Willow are arm in arm as Willow lists up the various Covens and in response to a moan from Eda, Willow jokingly says there is the Grumpy Coven as Eda raises a fist asking what was that scaring them off.
There were giggles as Luz asks "wait, were you joking Willow or is there really a Grumpy Coven?"
"Just joking around." Willow replied as if it would be obvious.
Someone asks Eda if she looks familiar as there are wanted posters in the background, Eda tries to use a distraction spell after denying but just threw down a bag of Heavy Mix, she runs off but comes back for the bag as the guy is reaching for it, pulling his hood over his head.
Eda smirked at how she would use that bag later, "Is that going to be your thing now?" Willow asked to laughs from the audience.
"Oh, are you going to be joining this club as well Ms Plant Witch?" Eda retorts thinking that at this rate she is going to be losing her voice from keep having to defend herself.
Luz asks about someone from the Construction Coven picking up a stack of bricks and it falls down reassembling itself as a full house while Tiny Nose is nearby.
Amity looks down sadly as Luz puts a hand on her shoulder as she doesn't react but doesn't tell her to knock it off either.
Willow explains about the Coven saying that it's one of the main nine and they use power glyphs to increase their strength.
"That's their coven Magic? I don't think strength will do much good when constructing my lego sets." Commented a human nerd to confusion from the Boiling Isles residents.
The man from the Coven puts one on Tiny Nose's nose and she goes berserk with power saying she is the destroyer of worlds as other members of the Coven tries to stop her saying that it's the opposite of construction.
There were laughs at this, "you think she should be the monarch of demons instead of King?" asked one of the human students as King glared at his direction to more laughs.
"Well it's nice seeing her and how she is enjoying freedom." Luz remarks happily but Eda stands up from her seat.
"How is she able to go freely without a disguise since she escaped from that freak prison as well?" Eda asked as Luz thought that it was a good point.
"Emperor Belos and Lilith consider you a higher priority than the others, Warden Wrath was to take care of rounding them back up." Spoke Steve the Emperor's Coven member as Eda looks like she is going to hide. "Don't worry the Author warned me about going after you saying that he would eject me if I tried and I rather like this show..." Steve assured her as the Hexside students found it odd to just have an Emperor's Coven member just reveal himself in the audience.
Luz says 'yowza wowza' as a light blue illusion appears next to her saying the same thing, two young members of the Coven pose as the illusion goes to them waving at Luz and vanishes. Gus says that they like to magic with a hint of showmanship as he disappears and appears someplace else to Luz's amazement as the other members appear behind him.
"That is nothing, come and spend time with us and we can show you much better use of Illusion Magic." Emira said to Luz's direction.
"You will have no contact with her whatsoever after this is all done!" Amity yelled at her direction as Emira and Edric just giggled at eachother.
"So you're siblings are Illusion magic types?" Luz asks and Amity nodded.
"Just like they give the illusion as model children to our parents..." Amity muttered.
Luz is in awe at the acceptance, comradely and a sense of belonging and thinks Covens sound incredible.
"Wow Edalyn, it seems that your influence has not corrupted your student and there is hope for her yet." Bump said with a smile.
"Just you wait Bump, in no time at all she will utterly reject this whole Coven System as the bogus piece of garbage it truly is!" Eda replied as Luz shook her head and Camila glared at her.
Luz asks Eda why she never joined a Coven and Eda tells her to watch closely, another kid is nearby having his magic sealed away as Eda explains that when you join a Coven all your other magic is sealed away, with that king only able to do illusions from now on.
"you are only able to do one type of magic from now on... That sounds lame..." muttered one of the human students as other shared the same sentiment.
"Yes! Thank you! See Bump, even these humans just pulled here see through your smoke and mirrors!" Eda gloated doing a dance and Bump glared at the direction of the human guests along with others who practically dared them with their looks to try encouraging Eda again.
Eda shows off her own magic saying that since she never joined a Coven she can do any king of magic, it's why she's the most powerful witch in the Boiling Isles.
"Mattholomule, do you think that you can show your head growing magic to Ms Edalyn Clawthorne here since I believe she needs it, her head will need expanding to keep with her ego." Bump said to much laughter and Eda glared at him with her arms folded up.
They walk off but King is stopped by someone from the Oracle Coven saying that this will lead to his destiny giving him a fortune tellers pen, King scoffs saying that he is not paying for it but the witch says that it's free. King is excited for the offering saying the King of demons is back.
There were giggles but the human guests thought about how they were kind of like this to free offerings at these events as well.
There is a group going in the theatre being guarded by members of the Emperor's Coven, Gus excitedly asks if they will sign his forehead as Willow replies only one way to find out as they rush in.
Eda shook her head and pinched her nose thinking that Luz needs better friends.
Luz is about to rush in and asks Eda if she is coming but Eda says no and out of all the Covens they are the worst so she will wait out there. Luz says that she gets it Covens are bad and individualism is good but she is still figuring this world out so she is going inside and make up her own mind.
"I am so glad you are not blindly following your magical guide especially since she is well... Her..." Camila said as Eda grunted.
Eda hears something and looks behind her to see the guy from before talking to an Emperor's Coven member holding Eda's wanted poster and points to her as Eda goes into the theatre telling Luz to wait for her.
"Looks like the warden that wanted to date her..." Hal spoke up to shivering from just about everyone in the crowd.
Inside the panel there is a circular stage with the audience seats being around them, Eda sits next to Luz as the lights go down. Rising from the platform in a green mist is Principal Bump magicaling up a winged microphone to cheers from the crowd; Bump says that students all the time asks him what is the height of magical achievement. Mattholomule in the crowd asks if this is it as he magically increases the size of his head but it falls down crushing the student next to him, Bump is shocked and sadly says that he has failed him as a principal.
"What is wrong with that?" Mattholomule asked sounding offended as Bump tried to give placates to him as people were giggling but the kid that he had crushed glared at him.
Bump then says that it is being selected to join the best of the best and there are none better than the jewels of the Coven system and the enforcers of his will as three Emperor's Coven members magically appears, Luz is amazed and waves to Willow and Gus as they show off an autograph on Gus's forehead.
Eda shook her head as Camila decided to ask "how did that work as I doubt each member signed a different letter?"
"I did that and that's me in the middle!" Steve said proudly putting his arm up looking quite proud of himself. "Nice kids they were!" Steve mused as Willow and Gus thought about that he remembered them.
Bump tells them to feast their eyes on this elite force with each member handpicked to help usher in a new age of controlled magic as they show off their magic creating confetti, Eda asks the demon next to her when will the elite force get there and laughs slapping her knee as the demon just looks nervous moving away from her.
"You might as well have just dropped Luz off and left if you were going to treat an event like as a joke." Bump said shaking his head.
"And allow your propaganda brainwash her? Never and besides I was there to help her out." Eda retorted.
Bump explains that they have access to all forms of magic and leads them into seeing 'ooh' and ahh as the crowd is shown with Amity, Tiny Nose, the abomination professor and the Snaggleback among them.
"Is that the abominations teacher, Tiny Nose and the Snaggleback? I wonder how is getting on?" Luz asked seeing them in the crowd.
"I offered him a job at the school." Bump explained simply as they kept on watching.
Bump says that only the best could ascend to their ranks and someday that they could be them as he points to Amity in the crowd who squees in her seat as Luz notices her and Eda laughs.
Amity looked down embarrassed as Hexside students were just laughing, "Come on, I am not judging you." Luz told Amity and she muttered how is that going to make her feel better. Bump coughed thinking that he had done so because Amity is the most likely candidate in her year to ascend to their ranks but it lead to this embarrassment here.
The Emperor's Coven members pose with their capes and disappear and Bump then introduces the esteemed leader of the Coven and the year's mystery guest; they know and love her: Lilith! There is awe in the crowd and Eda stops her laughing to react in shock, a giant light blue magical raven on a branch appears and then flies down onto the platform in front of Bump.
Camila, the human guests and the Hexside students were in awe at this display. Even Edric and Emira thought this was way above their league.
Lilith is shown in her robe and mask and spreads out her arms as her mask flies away and her giant light blue raven screeches and disappears.
Eda is still looking in shock as the crowd is applauding and Luz stops her clapping to notice Eda, she asks if she knows her to which Eda says that she can say that to which Luz is excited about a mysterious past.
"Just keep watching..." Luz told the eyes looking towards Eda who was thankful that the attention was not over something that they were judging her for once.
Lilith thanks them all as she magically pushes her mask and robe back to Bump who carries them away, Lilith explains that it wasn't easy for her to rise to the top and she also had to start from humble beginnings as Mattholomule asks if like him.
There were some coughing from Hexside students to which Mattholomule grunted in his seat.
Lilith says that now she has the highest honour in enforcing the Emperor's will so be more and the Emperor's Coven awaits as she summons her magic raven illusion again which dissolves into round beams, Eda looks at her.
"I have been thinking that that it was Luz's bad fortune that she wasn't found by Lilith, she could have learned a lot." Bump said as Eda glared at him as if this was a personal slight and Luz wondered what could have happened if Lilith was her mentor instead of Eda? Could she and Amity be study partners or could she learn more glyphs at this point? Would she still learn about not being ashamed to be a weirdo
Eda and Luz leaves and Eda turns a corner as Luz asks where she is going, Eda says that she is going to head home but Luz says that they haven't even taken the quiz to determine their Coven type as she shows off her magazine.
"After everything that I have said why did you think that was something that I would want to try Luz?" Eda asked incredulously and Luz just looked sheepish.
Eda uses a finger blast through Luz's magazine and walks off, Luz reads about a punky potionist, she ends up walking into Amity reading a flyer. Amity turns around to say to watch where she is going before noticing that it's Luz and calls her Willow's abomination thing. Luz nervously corrects her about being an abomination and apologises for the confusion the last time and introduces herself.
"Bold move trying to make peace with the girl that almost got you cut up." commented Eda and Luz looked at her direction.
"No use trying to keep grudges going and she did get into trouble with it being my fault." Luz told her and Amity was thinking that she had been less than nice to Luz and here she was trying to put it all behind him. She could have been a lot nicer but how could she afford to since she had a public reputation to worry about.
Luz says hi putting out her hand and Amity tells her to put her hand away and tells her that she was the one that got her into trouble with Principal Bump and she never gets into trouble. Amity walks off with Luz following saying to be fair she was okay with him trying to dissect her; Amity turns around and says that she can't be here since the Covention is for witches only.
Luz says that she is learning to be one and is receiving lessons from a powerful witch and a ferocious demon, Amity with her arms crossed asks if that is her ferocious demon there as King is dressed up in his offerings holding a cupcake with the representatives of the Baker's Coven behind him.
People were laughing at the bad timing as well as the look of the supposed King of Demons.
One of them asks if he will join as he eats his cupcake and takes another one to run away and say no. King walks up to Luz but trips on his scarf and drops the cupcake as Luz helps him up and Amity steps on his cupcake.
"Seriously Amity, that was being pointlessly being mean." Edric said glaring at Amity along with her sister. Amity looked down as she guessed that it was she knew it was bad because one of her siblings didn't even bother using the Mittens nickname. Still compared to the stunts that they like to pull, though they find it fun and don't go out to be mean to students even if their victims don't take it as such.
Amity smirks as she calls it an accident, Luz asks why she is being so mean and Amity replies that Luz and her pet are giving witches a bad name.
King exclaims that he is not a pet as Luz calls him a very good boy and the king of Demons, Luz stands up and says that it's one thing to claim that she can't be a witch (to which Amity says that she can't) but it's another thing to bully her friends.
Boscha shrank in her eat wondering why did she feel scared of a stupid human at this point, she was so much better than her but then again with all the stuff this human had pulled off...
Luz makes a reference to the Azura books and challenges her to a witches duel shocking many attendees and Tiny Nose is seen on top of a group of defeated Construction Coven members who also reacts in shock.
"Mija, I am proud of you for sticking up for friends but did you really think that was a good idea..." Camila asked Luz who shook her head.
"The realisation of what a bad idea it was came later but... Hey, wait a minute..." Luz replied and stood up as everyone looked at her in confusion. "Tiny Nose, I saw her in the crowd earlier during the panel of the Emperor's Coven... Did she go to the panel and immediately got into another fight with the Construction Coven afterwards? This couldn't be like five minutes after the panel ended..." Luz pointed out and their eyes widened when she had a point.
"I guess it's possible..." Eda remarked unsure what to think of the conspiracy theorist that had sprung from prison. Luz looked behind her seeing if Tiny Nose was one of the new guests but she couldn't see her in the crowd.
Amity comes closer and smirks says that she accepts to which Luz is nervous. Amity says to set the terms of the duel and Luz says that if she wins then she apologies to King for squashing his cupcake as he is fretting over the remains and she has to admit that humans can be witches too, Amity says that when she wins not only do Luz has to tell the whole Covention that she is not a witch but she has to stop training forever.
"Mittens told us about everything that had happened and how none of the terms were met." Emira said smirking with Edric laughing and Amity glared at them, she wished that she didn't take Edric calling her by her name for granted.
King tells her to do it for his honour and Luz tells her to shake on it as Amity puts a magical seal around her hand before shaking, the Everlasting Oath is sealed.
There were mutterings from the students as they knew how serious this was.
Luz says that it's probably fine and Amity tells her to meet her back in the theatre in one hour. Luz asks King if she can win this as he is tucking into the remains of his cupcake but he replies no scaring Luz.
"You egged her into this but shows no support, some friend you are King!" Eda laughed as King asked her who is she to judge him?
Eda is running through the Covention with her hands on her cowl but is noticed by Lilith giving autographs to young kids who then calls her sister.
Lot of mutterings from the students at this as they didn't know the famous Lilith had a sister, especially with it being the infamous Owl Lady.
Lilith comes closer saying that it's been so long since she had last seen her asking what is she wearing saying that she looks like some kind of trash collector but then says that she is.
People were giggling and Camila couldn't help but do so as well.
Eda replies that she had to see the leader of the Emperor's Coven in action and then whispers to the kids that when they were kids Lilith was so excited to see the Emperor's Coven that she peed a little making them laugh but Lilith glares at her.
There were more giggling at this as Eda smirks as there will be more embarrassment of her sister to come.
Lilith shoos them away and tells Eda that she shouldn't even be there since she is a wanted criminal but then has a realisation, Lilith excitedly asks if she is there to join the Emperor's Coven and Eda laughs out loud saying in her dreams.
Eda shook her head thinking that Lilith should have known that Covens weren't her style.
Lilith tells Eda she thinks being Covenless makes her so much smarter than everyone else but while she runs around like a degenerate, Lilith is training the next generation of powerful witch students into the world. Eda says that she has a student of her own and she bets that she could wipe the floor with any of Lilith's students, Lilith asks if that is a challenge and Eda says that it's a promise as Luz appears panicking telling Eda that she needs her help as she accidentally challenged Amity a witches duel and she thinks that Amity is going to kill her.
"Wow a lot of bad timing here..." muttered Hal.
Lilith says that it seems that Eda's student has met her strongest protégé as she kneels down checking on Luz's ears asking if she's human and as she gets up asks Eda where she found her.
"I just had a thought but was your next lesson with her awkward considering... You know what happened later..." Luz whispered to Amity.
"It was manageable, we didn't bring it up but I always had it in mind." Amity replied.
Lilith uses a spell to burn up all the wanted posters in the hall saying that for one day she doesn't have to hide from the law because she wants to see how good a teacher she really is as she runs off.
"So is this like a temporary pardon or something..." Camila asked as most students were taken aback to see Lilith bend the laws for her sister like this.
Eda tells Luz to prepare for bloodshed, Luz asks whose blood and Eda pats her on the back saying anyone's guess.
There were scared looks from the human students as well as some others who weren't there as Camila just glared at Eda. "You know at one point you are just going to get tired of judging me all the time!" Eda told her.
"Until that time comes." Camila replied simply.
Eda without her cowl puts on a headband saying to start Luz's training and asks Luz what to do with a blast of fire coming toward her. Luz puts up her hood and goes sideway, Eda realises that she hasn't taught Luz that many spells.
There were laughs as Hal said "sorry to say Luz but I think you are kind of lucky to be alive right now... No offence."
"Don't worry about it, I know it to be true." Luz replied laughing as Camila sighed as this was not the reaction to be having to the question.
Eda tells Luz that she hopes that she didn't make an Everlasting Oath to stop learning magic because then she would be toast, Luz asks if there is glowing hand thing that happens and she notices Amity raising her abomination as Lilith looks on.
The abomination beheads itself and throws the head which lands on the head of someone at the Baker's Coven stall as Tiny Nose throws him away with the glyph still on her nose.
"We ended up being called to get that glyph off her after a certain point." Steve spoke up.
"I was wondering especially since the Baker's Coven's chef earlier but can demons join Covens?" Luz asked to which there were nodding from other students and Luz found it neat.
Luz says that she can't believe that she has to stop learning magic as Eda says that they are not going to let those snobs win that easy and they are not going to win at all because she has an idea as her headband snaps off.
"Why do I suspect that cheating was part of this idea?" Camila asked to which Eda grinned and put two thumbs up.
Eda and Luz are facing Lilith and Amity are on the platform, Lilith introduces the duel as an impromptu demonstration of the sort of witch they seek every year. Amity is smirking as Lilith introduces her and Eda goes out of the way to show Luz who is standing terrified. Some kids are muttering about this with one saying humans can't do magic as Willow and Gus look at eachother concerned.
"it was scary and nerve wreaking but you got out of it alright Luz!" Gus said as Luz thinks that she did.
Luz asks what to do as Eda says to calm down and tells her to get Amity to land on the mounds and they will set off her magic traps. Luz points out that it's cheating but Eda replies that nobody will know and that to all eyes up there it will look like she is performing magic, Luz says that she will know in her heart so even if she wins then she loses and Eda only replies by saying that's the spirit.
"Of all the mentors that she could have gotten..." Camila muttered.
The screaming bell then rings off as Amity is still smirking cracking her knuckles as Luz nervously waves, Amity then raises her huge abomination as Luz is scared and Amity is surprised.
Students who were not there was taken aback by how large the abomination was as even for a student this was impressive, Amity just silently sighed not wanting to watch.
Amity then smirks saying to Luz to show what she has got and Luz runs away saying that she isn't good under pressure with the abomination beheading itself and throws it's head barley missing Luz. The abomination then grows its head back as Luz is to her knees with back to the wall and notices a nearby mound, it steps on the mound setting off fire and Amity asks how did she do that and Luz just says magic.
King is walk to the stands with his offerings including a Swag Coven and asks Willow and Gus what did he miss, Willow explains that Luz is in a witches duel and Gus excitedly says that she could win it all surprising King.
"Wait, a Swag Coven? I wish that I could have known because I definitely would have wanted to sign up!" Luz asked excitedly with some agreement from the human students as Eda just looks betrayed and Camila spoke up.
"What kind of magic even is that?" Camila asked and Bump said that it would take too long to explain.
The abomination stands on another mound raising it and Amity off into a hurricane sending them back, after landing Amity says that she saw Luz that time and she didn't use her hands asking what is she getting at and Luz just says not dying.
"Did you seriously think that I was going to kill you?" Amity asked looking like she was genuinely hurt by the accusation.
"Well Amity, my body is not a game of Operation so did you think Principal Bump would have left my vital organs alone as he was dissecting me and was going to stitch me back up?" Luz retorted surprising herself with how bold she was and Amity knew that she had a point.
"I was going to have a look before stitching you back up..." Bump muttered speaking up but sat back down as Camila glared at his direction, Eda looked happy for any occasion where her ire was not directed at her.
The abomination goes after Luz as she is running away as King on the stand saying that he has got to see this and notices a kid with an Amity foam finger, he says to root for Luz or nobody but trips on a scarf, the abomination sets off another trap as King falls into the arena as his hat lands on Skara's head.
"Do you want the hat back because I have grown attached to it?" Skara asked King but he just waved her off and she was happy about getting to keep her hat.
Amity demands to know how she is doing that as Luz warns her not to step on a mound, Amity asks why as King lands on it and spikes rises up with him on it.
Students winced as even though they knew King survived, this didn't look pleasant.
King says that he is okay as Luz incredulity asks Eda about the spikes as Eda looks excited and gives two thumbs up.
"Just... Why..." grunted Camila.
Amity puts out her arm saying that she knew that she was cheating and Lilith touches a spike which dissolves and tells Eda that she believes that this means that she loses angering Eda. Luz says that it wasn't her idea to cheat and when she found out she tried to stop it and Amity asks who could believe anything she says as she walks off with a Construction Coven glyph on her neck.
"I didn't really put that much effort into stopping it..." Luz told Amity as people saw the glyph on her neck and started looking accusatory towards Amity making her shrink.
"Back off! This was all Lilith's doing! Do you think that she would stoop this low, especially against someone down below her skill class?" Luz demanded to the students muttering as they quietened down.
"Thanks for that..." Amity muttered gratefully as Luz smiled.
"What are friends for? Are we friends now?" Luz whispered and Amity was mentally asking herself why was she not refuting her?
Eda notices and comes closer saying to wait just a second as she puts up the hair on Amity's neck showing the glyph, she tears it off causing Amity's abomination to shrink in size and is crushed by its own head. Amity is shocked as Eda shows the glyph off to the audience shocking them with the Oracle Coven member from before claiming that she knew it.
There were laughs at this.
Willow tells Gus that she cheated as Eda starts gloating in Lilith's face about how she cheated, Lilith retorted that she only did that because she knew that she would cheat. Eda retorts that she still cheated and welcomes her down to her level.
"Oh boy..." Bump muttered pinching his nose as Eda looked smug as she was looking proud of what was transpiring.
Amity says that she didn't know as Luz tries to comfort her but Amity runs off. King asks Luz to help him as she sets him free tearing him away from his offerings. Luz pats him on the head saying that he will get more offerings and then runs off after Amity with King following. Eda is still dancing as Lilith tells her to knock it off as she is making a scene, Eda asks the Rhyming Coven about what rhymes with cheated. Lilith tells her to stop acting like a child as Eda retorts that she was defeated, don't get heated and to her stank face treated.
People were laughing at this immature display and Camila was angry at herself for joining in while finding this amusing, she could definitely see them being siblings.
Lilith darkly warns Eda to rhyme one more thing and Eda says its okay and she is done... because her rhymes are depleted.
People laughed even more at this.
Lilith angrily summons her staff and uses a spell send Eda back all the way to the platform worrying Willow and Gus. Eda is smiling as she summons her own staff and uses a fire spell but drops her staff before completing it.
Eda was smiling at the screen and didn't react to the laughs at this moment.
She sends it against Lilith who is firing back with her own magic as another student shouts out 'witches duel'.
Luz exits the theatre and finds Amity kneeling down with her head in her arms next to the female bathroom, she comes closer saying that she is sorry and Amity tells her to leave her alone.
Most of the Hexside students didn't know how to react as they had never seen Amity like this before. "Wow, you are being so lame Amity and I thought you were better than this..." Boscha said but a combined glared from both Amity and Luz shut her up.
Luz says that she didn't mean to embarrass her and Amity replies that it's all she ever does.
"I'm..." Amity started but Luz stopped her saying not to mention it.
Amity gets up and says that she made her look like a fool in front of her future the Emperor's Coven. Amity tells her that she thinks it's so easy being a witch while she has been working her whole life to get to the top.
Edric and Emira looks at eachother and then the screen in concern as it seems that studying for her future is not only most of what she does but all their parents want her to do; their antics are partly to try and help her lighten up a bit.
Amity tells her that she lost and she cheated and demands that she say that she isn't a witch, Luz says that she isn't but takes out her notebook. She shows her light glyph and says that she is training hard to be one as Lilith angrily is continuing to use her magic against Eda who continues to fight with a smile on her face. She summons a golem resembling Hooty to fight against Lilith. The audience then starts evacuating as more smaller Hooty heads appear from the body of the golem.
"Seriously as if regularly Hooty isn't terrifying enough..." Luz muttered not knowing what had transpired after she had left. There were agreements from just about everyone. Still they were looking in awe at how cool this fight was regardless.
Lilith fights against them and is charging her magic against a shield that Eda conjured up.
The shield cracks but then Owlbert departs from the staff and hits Lilith on the head and takes her by the hair and Eda tells her to say good night as a final Hooty head is summoned to eat Lilith and Owlbert returns to the staff.
"I wonder if Lilith remembers this when she gets to meet him with them becoming friends." Cornholio said as Eda giggled at his joke. As if Lilith and Hooty would get along if they met eachother...
Eda now looks worried as Lilith appears behind her saying enough of this and blasts Eda to the wall. Eda tells her to wait looking worried and reminds her of her curse stopping Lilith, Eda explains that the curse is worsening and she can't keep up with it.
"I suspect that you are trying to get her guard down with emotional manipulation." Camila accused as Eda just smiled at her.
She says that she doesn't know how much time she has left as Lilith comes closer saying that she was surprised to see her that day and Eda says that she just had to see her sister for possibly the last time. Lilith then gets the Heavy Mix bag thrown at her head and Eda runs to the exit saying that it's been fun but to call it a draw and Lilith just yells.
"That's what you meant..." Luz told her as the hall descends into laughter.
"I was expecting her to blow raspberries like to that Warden..." Hal said.
Amity says that a child could do a light spell as Luz puts it away, Amity then says that she had never seen it cast like that.
"Don't worry Luz as even a backhanded compliment is saying a lot from her." Emira assured Luz as Amity decided to not even reply.
Luz says that she had to improvise as it doesn't come naturally as it does to Amity. Amity then summons a spell to unbind the Everlasting Oath from Luz's hand. She walks off as Luz asks if she can do magic and Amity replies that humans have no magic ability but she doubts that it will stop her.
"You are slowly melting away her ice exterior, you should be proud Luz." Said Edric as people were muttering about Amity being like this and she just stayed silent.
King walks up to Luz saying that she left him, she apologises saying that his legs are so tiny and asks if they should get him more offerings but he replies saying that they just weighted him down but he has something for her. King says that it's the best thing as it's free, comes from his heart and always have more than he needs: Luz asks if it's love but King says no and shows her a Covention tote bag.
Camila shook her head as there were giggles from some of the students both witch and human.
He then goes into it as it's hanging from Luz's arm saying that they have so many uses.
Kings her away calling her a chariot as Eda comes by saying that they have to leave, Luz asks how did she get away from Lilith and Eda replies saying that she had a little snack attack.
People either groaned or laughed at the pun.
She says that she has a better one as Luz sadly asks if Eda thinks that she could be a true witch and Eda asks who is a true witch and sarcastically asks if she is talking to the suckers who according to them means being in a Coven but she never joined one and she is better than all of them combined.
Bump just sighed to himself wondering how could Eda turn out like this since she showed promising talent despite her troublemaking ways.
Eda tells her that she has got to be her own witch and Eda tells her to go before her sister realises that she tied her shoes together and Eda takes it as their cue after they hear Lilith's scream.
People were giggling at her.
Luz is amazed that Lilith is Eda's sister saying that it's a mysterious past payoff as they go through the exit.
"You didn't tell her in the time you were training?" Camila asked blinking as Eda shrugged not finding it important information to tell her.
Eda says way to hear about her parents if she thinks that's all the mystery that she has got. Luz says that she needs to know more as King replies that she doesn't.
"King is right, my parents are a while different matter that you would rather not learn about." Eda said as Luz gave a face making it clear that she won't allow it to be the end of that.
Lilith enters her dressing room and trips over her tied together laces saying that Eda makes it so hard to want to help her as a mirror opens up showing Kikimora. Kikimora says that she sees that Lilith has allowed the Owl Lady to get the best of her temper and to just remember what Emperor Belos had promised her, Lilith puts her head down and says that she will capture her. Kikimora disappears as Lilith says that Eda's days are numbered.
"Lily probably thinks the Emperor will cure me if she brings me in." Eda commented as the episode ended.
"So that's up caught up and so the future ones are in the future, what will we see? A time travel plot, a body swap plot or a trip to an alternate universe plot?" Luz asked excitedly as Cornholio blinked.
"I can promise you that at least one of those things are in the future." Cornholio told her as Luz was excited. It should be nice seeing your future unravel with all these people...
