[Open on the Owl House. Wind howls as it moves Luz, shadow and sunset's open and creaking window. Luz rolls over and breathes heavily. Flashback to events of the previous episode: Owlbert and hopper1 hopping through the portal door in Eda's tent with a sack in his beak, Luz,shadow and sunset running through behind him.]

Luz:Stop adorably hopping away, you... Huh?
[Cut to the living room, the first time Luz entered.]

Eda:Welcome to... [Snaps fingers.] ...the Owl House.

[Luz gasps. Cut to Luz's first staff ride, whimsical music playing over the scene. Cut to present. Luz wakes up with a gasp and looks around the room. King is snoring and shadow and sunset where up stretching]

LuzIt wasn't a dream! [Opens the window.] Good morning, terrifying fantasy world.
Monster:[Waving at her.] Good morning. [Sinks into the ocean.]

Sunset:Ughhh that was creepy

[King continues snoring.]

Luz:[Picks up King, who wakes up.] Good morning, you little cutie-pie. [Kisses his head repeatedly.]

King:I am not your cutie-pie!

Luz:Yes, you are. [Hugs him tightly before putting him back down on her sleeping bag.]

King:[Sighs.] I know.

Sunset:we can agree that hopper1 is the cutest (was holding hopper1)

Shadow: agreed

[Cut to the trio, fully dressed, opening the bathroom door. Several owls fly out of it, hooting. They watches them fly away before entering, walking backwards.]
Hooty:Hi, Luz! Hi Sunset! Hi shadow!

[The trio screams and luz karate chops while sunset and shadow punches Hooty's face.]

HootyOw! I'm just wishing you guys a good morning. [Retreats to the front door.] Jeez! Hoot! Ow!

Luz:Sorry, Hooty. [Looks at the bathroom counter and picks up her Azura book. Flips it open to a headshot of Azura and holds it up to the mirror.] This is it, old girl. Your first day on the Boiling Isles, as a Witch Apprentice. [Punches the air.] Hyah! [Opens a closet door while covering her eyes.] Please have witchy clothes. Please have witchy clothes. Please have witchy clothes. [Takes her hand off her eyes and sees a closet full of stereotypical witchy stuff.] Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! [Screams.]

Shadow:(looks at sunset) bet you 5 bucks that stuff is actually a traffic cone and bathrobe

Sunset:deal

[Cut to Luz writing "Witch Apprentice Luz" on a name tag and sticking it to her chest. She is now wearing a robe and what looks to be a witch's hat as she stands at the bottom of a staircase. Luz squeals. A toliet flushes. Eda's shadow appears on the wall before she steps into frame]

Luz:Good morning, Eda the Owl Lady. I am ready for my first day of Witch Apprenticeship.

Sunset: morning

Shadow: morning Eda

Eda:Ugh! [Shakes spiders out of her hair, picks another one out of her ear.] Who are you three , again?

Luz:Huh? [Stares in horror as her name tag falls to the floor.]

Sunset & shadow:ehhh!?

Hopper1:hoppa?!

(Cuts to the theme)

(Cuts back to the owl house)

Luz:[Following Eda into the kitchen.] Remember me? Luz? [Grunts as a coffee cup hits her in the back of the head.] We freed the oppressed and defeated the evil warden together? Yesterday?

Sunset:Me and shadow fought the dark sisters?

shadow:I became gotchard?

Hopper1:hoppa?

Eda: Kids, lay off the details. I haven't even had my cup of apple blood yet(looks at the grasshopper chemy)and no hopper1 your not having any

Sunset:You mean apple juice right?

Eda:No.

[Eda sits on the kitchen table and drinks from her mug. King is sitting in a high chair and stabbing a fork into a yellow blob with eyes sitting on a plate.]

Luz:Teach me some spells. When do I get a magic staff? Was I supposed to bring my own runes? [Gasps.] Do you have a dangerous magical quest for me?

Shadow:or have anyone teach me or sunset alchemy?

Eda:Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down, kid. Being a witch doesn't happen overnight. Also, you're wrapped in a bathrobe and wearing the dirtiest traffic cone I've ever seen.(Looks at shadow) I do have a friend but I haven't spoken to him since the accident(looks down sadly)

[Luz pulls her hat off and blows on it, revealing that it was, in fact, a traffic cone with a severe layer of dust on it. King laughs and sunset hand five bucks to shadow for winning the bet then shadow looks at Eda]

Shadow:what accident Eda?

Eda:(wipes away a tear) oh nothing I'll tell yea one day kid (looks back to luz)But a magic staff, huh? You really want one?

Luz:More than anything.

Eda:Magic staff, come to me!

[She holds out her hand. For a second, nothing happens. Then several things crash distantly. King, Luz,Eda, hopper1,sunset and shadow all slowly turn to the sound, until Eda's staff appears and smacks her in the face, clattering to the ground.]

Eda:[Grunts and picks the staff up, spinning it before tapping it on the ground.] It's early. Now, witches are awarded their staffs from school. With me as your teacher, you'll be taking a different approach. [Drops a bag of potions onto the floor.] You'll have to work for it. [Leads the trio through the living room.] I run a few businesses. On weekends, I offer rare human treasures that Owlbert drags over from your side of the realm.
[She grabs a toy sword and hits a button near the pommel.]

Sword:I shall smite my enemies! Ages six to eleven.

Eda:[Tosses the sword over Luz's head.] But most days I sell only the finest homemade elixirs and potions.

Luz:[Pulls a bottle from the bag and reads the label.] "Snake oil." Also what about sunset and my brother?

Eda:No one wants an un-oiled snake. Follow me and I'm going to take them to a old friend of mine (thoughts:let's hope he haven't forgotten the accident)

[Cut to Eda,Luz,sunset and shadow walking onto a balcony.]

Eda:Today you'll deliver packages and sell potions to that town over there, Bonesborough. You'll have to be careful. I have rivals everywhere who'd love to take my business down and you along with it. You wanted a dangerous magical quest? Sister, you've got one.

Luz:I won't let you down, Miss Eda.
[Luz turns to salute Eda, dropping the sack of potions off the balcony in the process. The two of them watch it fall, Luz wincing when it crashes loudly on the ground and both sunset, shadow and hopper1 facepalm themselves]

Eda:I'm sure. [Cut to the living room, where Eda is pushing Luz out the door with a new bag of potions.] Remember, never befriend a man in sandals and always measure twice, cut once.

Luz:Uh...

Sunset:who says that

Eda:i do and Good luck luz! [Slams the door closed and dusts her hands off, then looks at King.] I hate to interrupt your power nap, but you have to go with her.

King:What? But I just found the perfect spot. Why do I have to go and are you sure about taking them to him eda

Eda:You and I know she's either going to get lost or eaten, probably both and yes about taking sunset and shadow to him

Luz:[Squishes her face against the window.] No, I won't!

Sunset:yes you will!

Eda:[Closes the blinds with a spell.] And because you work for me, too, unless you want to start paying rent.

[King throws a short tantrum before stomping out the door.]

Eda:Be back by nightfall or risk mortal peril. [Slams the door again.]

Hooty:Have a nice trip.

King:Huh! Let's get this over with.

Eda:( looks at shadow and sunset) ready to three?

(Shadow, Hopper1 and sunset nod and later Eda takes them to a big building and it was like school with the alchemist symbol)

Eda:sigh it's been year since I seen the place good to see it still running

Shadow:(hopper1 was on his shoulder)so Eda who's this friend of yours?

Sunset:yea is he a witch like you or?

Eda:hahaha no Minato isn't a witch his human like you two he and I go way back as good friends(shadow and sunset where shocked)

(Then they here footsteps and turns to see a man in probably in his late 30's and this man was Minato eda's old friend)

Minato:Eda didn't expect you to be here at this place after all this years

Eda: I know weird right look I don't normally do this but I'm asking you to take this two under your wing please(puts a hand on shadow and sunset shoulders)

Minato:(looks at the two teens and then looks at Eda)no

Eda:(shocked)why not Minato!

Minato: remember the last time Eda we lost our friends in that accident i refuse to destroy dreams again!

(Then shadow steps up to Minato)

Shadow:I may not know you Minato San but me and sunset want to learn alchemy to protect the people we care about it doesn't matter if our dreams are crushed we keep on dreaming to the bitter end!

(Minato looks at the boy in shock because it reminds him of himself when he was under and Minato smiles)

Minato:fine I'll take you both in as my students but the training will be hard are you ready to take that risk

Shadow and sunset:hai!(yes!)

Minato:(pulls out a box with two rings in it two blue gem rings)

Minato:i welcome you both to the alchemist academy(smiles for the first time)

[Fade to Bonesborough. Luz and King walk through an archway.]

Luz:Woah!
[Zoom out to reveal a wall covered in wanted posters on either side of the archway. Various types of demons pass, all of which Luz stare at in amazement.]

King:Hey, it's rude to stare.

Luz:I've only seen places like this in my dreams. It's incredible. And I'm the only human here?

King:[Shrugs.] Haven't seen any others(thoughts:other then Minato)

Luz:Wow! There must be a reason for that, right? Why am I here? What if I, Luz Noceda, average teen, actually had... [Gasps.] ...a predetermined path of greatness? [Gasps.] Just like Azura!

King:Yeah. Did Azura's path to greatness involve her delivering boil cream? [Takes a potion labeled "Boil B' Gone" from the sack and holds it up.]

Luz:Today I'm delivering packages, but tomorrow I'll be earning the respect of everyone on the Boiling Isles with my magical prowess.too bad sunset and shadow aren't with me though eh maybe there doing something cool.

(Cuts back to the alchemist academy both sunset and shadow where taking a entry test set on hard mode and they where trying not to die)

Eda:(looks at Minato) is this a bit overkill Minato?

Minato:no this is just the entry test besides they need to be strong of running into him

Eda: ok then

(Then it goes back to luz and king)

King:Ha! Good luck. The Boiling Isles is nothing but a cesspool of despair.

Luz:More like a cesspool of delight.

[Luz puts the boil cream back in the sack before hefting it over her shoulder and looking around. She starts in the direction of the market, where she walks up to a centaur holding a pumpkin in front of his chest.]

Luz:What has four hooves and wants to buy a potion? This guy.

Centaur:[Sighs and lowers the pumpkin to reveal his face is on his chest.] My eyes are down here.

[Luz exclaims. Cut to a house, where Luz rings the doorbell. She leaves her hand on the button, and the doorbell bites her hand and slowly starts to eat her arm. King walks away in annoyance. Cut to a curb, where Luz and King are sitting, the latter scarfing down a Not Dog from the cart behind them.]

King:[Sighs.] I know I've had enough delight for one day.

Luz:i thought being the only human in a magical world would make me special. But apparently, it just makes everyone want to scream at me or... [Holds up her arm to reveal a small winged creature biting her elbow.] eat me. [Flings the creature away and sighs, opening her book.] At this point, Azura had already been sent on an enchanted quest. Where's my quest-granting wizard?

King;Sorry to break it to you, Luz, but no one here is that well-dressed.

Luz:This has been a rough day. [Stands and hefts the potions sack over her shoulder with a grunt; takes out a piece of paper and starts down the alley.] Let's just deliver this last package and go home. Maybe this world isn't what I thought it wa- [Gasps.] Pretty!

[Cut to reveal a large castle with golden banners illuminated by sunlight. The doorbell is also made of gold, and towering wooden doors open after Luz presses it.]

King:Big houses always belong to big whackjobs. Let's kick the package inside and get outta here.

Luz:[Walking inside and ignoring King.] Hello?

King:Hey, wait. [Runs after Luz, yelping when the doors slam behind him.] Weh!

Luz:[Entering a room.] I-I'm delivering a package from Miss Eda, the Owl Lady. Huh?

[Lanterns around the room flare on, revealing it to be a massive library. They illuminate a grand staircase, above which is a painting of a wizard. Said wizard enters from a door in the same pose he has in the painting.]

Luz:[Gasps.] Today just got good.
[Ad break. Camera pans up the wizard.]

Luz:[Dancing excitedly.] Magical wizard!

King:Weird old man in jim-jams.

Adegast:[Descending the stairs.] I was in my oscillarium, reading the stars. And who might you be, with eyes full of curiosity?

Luz:Uh, I-I'm-

Adegast:[Running up to the two of them.] Young lady, dareth I say, I sense something unique about you. Please, won't you join me for tea?
[Adegast summons two chairs and a table of snacks. He sits down in the white throne.]

Luz:[Gasps.] Okay.

King:[Grabbing Luz's leg.] Let's scram! [Climbs up to Luz's shoulder.] Wizards are just old people with glitter in their pockets.

[Adegast takes a handful of glitter out of his pocket and drops it on the floor.]

King:I don't trust him.

Luz:But the stars on his robe are sparkling. And look, there's a baby fox in his beard.

[The baby fox giggles.]

Luz:Plus, I see scones on the table.

King:Where?
[King pants as he runs to the table. Luz follows him, dropping the bag of potions in front of the chair as she sits in it.]

Luz:We'd love to join you for tea.

[King munches on the food.]

Luz:[Turns and notices a cart of potions.] Do you sell potions, Sir Wizard?

Adegast:Please, call me Adegast. Ma'am, yes, I run a small business.

King:[Munching, holds up an empty plate.] You should run a small business of more scones into my mouth. [Chuckles.] Yes!

Adegast:I'm surprised to see you here. It was my understanding that Eda delivered the packages herself.

Luz:Well, I'm kinda, sorta, her apprentice.

Adegast;Oh! And how are you finding the experience so far?

Luz:[Holds a fake grin before sighing.] Can I be honest, Mr. Adegast? When I decided to stay in this magical world, I thought I was meant for something special. But Eda thinks I'm meant for chores and I'm afraid I came to the wrong place.

Adegast:[Approaching Luz.] Well, I have a quest-

Luz:A quest?

[Cup shatters.]

Adegast:[Chuckles.] You didn't let me finish. I have a question.

Luz:Oh.

Adegast:Would you like to go on a quest?

Luz:Yes!

Adegast:[Reaches into his beard and pulls out a scroll.] I might have just the thing. [Unrolls the scroll to reveal a map.] The prophecy speaks of a young human girl who will claim the Celestial Staff and free this world from an ancient evil. Perhaps thou hath cometh here for a reason.

Luz:Perhaps I hath. [Takes the map.]

Adegast:Should you believe yourself worthy to attempt this quest... [Begins walking through his house.]

Luz:[Follows him.] So worthy.

Adegast:...you need to know the road is dark and perilous.

Luz:Love peril. Big fan of peril.

Adegast:And only the Chosen One can pull the staff from its post.

Luz:[Stops walking.] Chosen one.

King:[Walking past Luz with the bag of potions.] Neat story, awesome. Anyway, your food is gone and we are, too.

Luz:Yes, we have to go. And pack for this enchanted quest! I'm in.

Adegast:Wonderful.

[Cut to Luz's bedroom, where she's sheathing the toy sword from earlier. Around her are various potions, food, the quest scroll, and of course her Azura book.]

Luz:So, King, what kind of Chosen One should I be?

King[Kneading Luz's sleeping bag, yawns and lies down.] Huh? What?

Luz:[Picks up her book.] Should I be full of optimism and goodness, like the Good Witch Azura? Or should I be like a bad girl Chosen One with black nail polish and a mysteriously withdrawn attitude? [Uses the book as a mouth.] "I act like I don't care, but I secretly do."

Eda:(walks in with sunset and shadow exhausted from the entry trail at the alchemist academy)
Oh, you guys talking about bad girls? Wait, what's going on?

King:Eda, tell Luz how dumb wizards are.

Eda:[Gesturing with a severed arm and almost hitting King several times.] Ugh! Wizards are the worst. Never trust a man in casual drapery. [Laces her fingers with the severed arm's.] Why?

King:Your wizard client told Luz... [Laughs.] she was a- [Laughing.] was a Chosen One! [Laughing.]

Eda:Wait, wait, Luz? [Snickers.] [Laughs so hard she falls back onto the floor.]

King:He even gave her a map.

[Eda and King laugh as Luz hides behind her book, an embarrassed blush on her face.]

Sunset:Let me see this map luz.
[Luz hands her the map. She inspects it for a few seconds.]

Eda:(looks over sunset shoulder)You didn't think this was real, did you?

Luz:What?

Eda:This map is bunk. There's no lake with a Celestial Staff on the Boiling Isles. I would have stolen it ages ago. [Notes Luz's down face and hands her the map back.] Ah, don't worry. Couple more months here and you won't look like such a mark.

Luz:Can I have some time alone?

[Eda shrugs and leaves the room. King hops off of Luz's sleeping bag and follows Eda. The door closes, casting the room in shadows and shadow and sunset look at her with tired eyes]

Shadow:sis I know you want get a staff early but right now me and sunset need to pack(yawns)

Luz:(looks at them) what your leaving?!

Sunset:no more likely moving into the academy

Luz:(upset) it's not fair you guys are going to a alchemist school while I get second to none!

Shadow:luz it's not like that(was trying to comfort Luz)

Luz:i wish you were never my brother! I wished you've died instead of dad-(covers her mouth after realizing what she said and looks at shadow who had tears down his face)

Shadow:words hurt you know (goes upstairs with hopper1 leaving sunset and luz in the room alone)

Sunset:(slaps luz) you idiot why would you say that to him all because me and him packing our stuff to go to the academy how selfish can you be luz![goes upstairs to help pack with shadow and comfort him leaving luz alone in the room]

Luz:Maybe they were right. [Leans against the wall before sliding down it to the floor and she hit her head with her hands] stupid stupid stupid! Why did I say that to him now he hates me and sunset too [tears flow down her face and she wipes them away] huh?

[Sunlight is illuminating one corner of the map, revealing the word "one" in shining blue lettering. Luz holds the entire map up to the light revealing the message: "The chosen one The path will only appear to the worthy".]

Luz:"The path will only appear to the worthy." [Gasps.] That's why Eda couldn't see it. But am... I really worthy? And I should work on apology for shadow

[Wind howls and opens the window. The map flies out of her grasp, landing next to her book. The wind flips the pages to show Azura standing loved and triumphant on a small hill, the people around her applauding as she holds a staff to the sun.]

Luz:I'll never know unless I try.

[Cut to the living room, where King is laying down on the couch and sunset and shadow comes downstairs with there stuff packed and ready.]

King:Finally! All that mean‐spirited laughter made me sleepy.

Eda:Crony, wake up. You said that wizard was one of my clients?

King:Yes. Now go away.

Eda:I don't know him that well. [Sits on the couch with enough force to send King flying into the air.] And I don't trust this itch he's scratching in the human.

King:Less talky, more nappy.

[Eda sighs. Cut to the door of Luz's room, which Eda pushes open.]

Eda:Hey, Luz? Aw, nuts.

[Luz room is empty, the howling wind pushing open the window. Eda,sunset and shadow runs to the window.]

Shadow:Hooty, where'd she go?

Hooty:Hoot, hoot. If you want the answer that you seek, solve my riddle within a week-

[Sunset punches the wall hard enough to shake the whole house and leave cracks in the wall.]

Hooty:Ow! Okay, okay. She went into the forest towards Bonesborough. Sheesh!

Sunset:Ugh!

[Cut to a sign proclaiming the city limits of Bonesborough, next to which is Luz.]

Luz:[Inhales.] My first mythical quest. Ha!

[She jumps and slides down an incline, then gets over a fallen log. A thick fog rolls in as she keeps walking.]

Luz:Okay. Got my scroll, got my youthful optimism, got my trusty weapon. [Pulls out the sword and hits a button on it.]

Sword:By the power of Skullgar, I am out of battery.

[The lights on the sword dim as Luz lowers it. She continues onward, ducking a branch and cutting a rope with the sword.]

Luz:You know, I wonder if I made the right choice by coming here. [Gasps.] Wow!

[Camera reveals a village full of cats wearing clothes and walking on two legs. Luz walks through the village, beaming as she looks around. She approaches a fountain in the middle of a square, from which a witch with a sword strapped to his waist emerges, flipping wet hair out of his face.]

Nevareth:I see. So you're the Chosen One. [Scoffs.] The Celestial Staff should've picked me, Nevareth Bladestrife, Teen Prince of Angstmore.

Luz:[Staring at his biceps.] Yes. Yes, I did make the right choice.

[Cut to an alley.]

King:[Sniffing.] This is where we met the scones. I mean, the wizard. Whoa!

[Eda pushes aside a patched curtain.]

King:It wasn't like this before.

[The castle is now in complete ruin, with crumbling walls, no spire, and faded banners. One of the front doors is laying on the ground, and as they look, a chunk of wall falls from a pillar.]

Shadow:I don't like this.

[A door creaks open, revealing the library. Tattered scrolls now litter the floor, shelves are broken, paintings are ripped, and chunks of debris are blocking the stairs. Eda, shadow and sunset steps forward, onto a bundle of scrolls. She picks them all up, each illuminated with the glowing message of: "The chosen one".]

Eda:I really don't like this.

Shadow:luz please be safe

[Cut to the middle of the woods, where Luz is walking with Nevareth and a flying onion with bat wings.]

Luz:Nevareth, your vengeful backstory is so compelling. And I'm lovin' your animal sidekick.

Nevareth:After my village was consumed, my heart has known nothing but vengeance.
[They stop walking.]

Luz:Nevareth!

Nevareth:Lady Luz, do you think love can bloom on the battlefield?

Luz:[Turns and laughs to herself.] This quest is questing in all the right ways.
[The three of them walk onto a bridge, yelping when a creature jumps in front of them.]

Nevareth:Ew.

Chris:[Dances.] Hum-di-diddle, to pass the bridge, you must first solve my riddle.

Luz:Hit me, little furry man.

Chris:Your quest shall stop if you fail this game. So tell me, my dear, what is my name?

Luz:Hmm. [Bends down to inspect his nametag.] Uh... Chris?

Chris:That's it. You may cross the bridge. And please take this, Chosen One. It shall help you on your journey. [Hands her a ring.]

Luz:Wow. This is amazing. Thank you. [Puts the ring on.]

Nevareth:Do you need a cape?

Luz:Nah, I think I'm goo-

Nevareth:You can use my shirt.

[Nevareth rips his shirt off and ties it like a cape over Luz's shoulders.]

Luz:Yes. I need a cape. [Giggles.]

Nevareth:Three cheers for the Chosen One. Hip, hip...
Everyone:Hurray!

Nevareth:Hip, hip...

Everyone:Hurray!

[Luz blushes from the praise.]

Nevareth:Hip, hip...

[Cut to Eda.]

Eda:Oh, no.

[Her,King, shadow and sunset are standing in the cat village, which is now destroyed. Dark clouds hang in the sky and fog clouds hang in front of the houses.]

Shadow:Are you sure she came here?

King:[Sniffing.] Can't mistake her smell. Like lemons and young, naïve confidence.

Shadow:that sounds like luz

Eda:Hmm.
[Eda walks up to the fountain, which is now broken and covered in dying vines. A cat wrapped in vines is laying in the lower basin. Eda kneels in front of the fountain.]

Eda:Hey! Wake up, you. [Flicks the cat's head.] What have you done with Luz? [Shakes it.] What's your endgame?

Cat:To find your pupil and still your wrath, look ahead and follow the path. [Cackles as it disintegrates.)

King:[Gasps.] The cat man melted!

Sunset:(cover her mouth) i think I lost my appetite for weeks

Eda:[Sighs and stands.] It's a trap. They want me to follow Luz.

Shadow:So, what do we do now?

Eda:Hmm.

(Then they hear a sound like skebo and Appare and they go over to the sound and see two chemy cards level 8 Apparebushido a samurai chemy and level 2 Skebows a skateboard chemy and shadow picks them up)

Apparebushido:Appare!

Skebows: skebo!

Shadow: would you two like to join us to save my sister

Both Chemies:appare!/skebo!(Yes in there language)

[Cut to the woods, where, along with Nevareth and Chris, Luz is walking with a fairy much less hostile than the one she met the day before.]

Luz:Thank you for inviting me to your feast, Princess. All your food was so tiny and cute.

Princess:[Twirls her hands and creates two bracelets.] For you, Chosen One.

Luz:[Puts the bracelets on.] Thank you. You have all been so kind and thoughtful. [Jumps and strikes a pose.] I hope this quest never ends.

Chris:Your quest will soon come to an end, for the staff you seek is around the bend.

Luz:[Drops her pose.] Thanks for ruining the mood, Chris.

Nevareth:Go on, Chosen One. The Celestial Staff is yours. You've earned it.

[Luz perks back up and continues down the path.]

Nevareth:Farewell, Lady Luz.

Princess:Farewell. We love you, Chosen One.

[Birds twitter as they fly overhead, casting long shadows below them. Luz looks away from them to focus on the path, before slowing to a stop. Luz gasps. The Celestial Staff stands on a platform in the middle of a lake, illuminated by a ray of light. As Luz approaches the edge of the lake, a glowing comes from the water, followed a few seconds later by a stone walkway rumbling into place, connecting the edge of the lake and the central platform.]

Luz:I knew this world wasn't all gloom and doom like Eda and King said. [Skipping and twirling down the walkway.] There is wonder here. And I... I think I came here for a reason.
[She pauses as she reaches the platform, staring at the staff in awe.]
LuzOkay, this is it. Moment of truth.
[She hesitantly grabs the staff. Blue swirls of magic come out of it, creating waves in the lake as the top of the staff glows brightly. She pulls it out of the ground and holds it above her head triumphantly.]

Luz:Yes! I am the Chosen One! I knew it! I always suspected there was a reason nobody understood my wacky antics back at home. [Jumps and twirls in a circle, then holds the staff with both hands.] Now I have concrete proof. [Laughs.]

[The staff disintegrates, the dust blowing away in the wind.]

Luz:No!

[She grabs at the dust. Around her, the rest of the illusions fade: flowers at her feet wilt, water drains from the lake and retreats up the riverbanks, and even leaves disappear in a swirl.]

Luz:What?

[Cut to Eda,King,sunset and shadow flying through the woods on Eda's staff.]

Eda:I know this guy. He's no wizard. He's what you'd call a puppeteer, a demon who specializes in scamming and manipulating people. He's trying to use Luz to get to me.

King:Yeah, and we're flying directly into his trap. Hurray.

Sunset:so where flying in without a plan

Eda:Well, if you can think of a better plan, I'd love to hear it. Hey, faster, you. [Slaps her staff.]

[Owlbert hoots. Cut to the Celestial Lake, now surrounded in fog. Luz backs up, holding her sword in front of her. Luz whimpers.]

Adegast:(Appearing from the fog with clotho.] Luz, the human.

Luz:Magical wizard?(Glares at clotho)

Adegast:Your hubris has failed you, Witch Apprentice. [Cackling.]

[Adegast lifts the wizard puppet to reveal an ocotopus-like demon. The ground begins to crack.]

Luz:Huh?

[Her previous travelling companions and cats from the village arise from the stone, a tentacle in each of their backs. They're lifted in the air and surround Luz, who slowly spins around.]

Luz:Okay, Luz. Don't panic. This is classic Chosen One biz. You just have to rescue everybody and defeat the final boss.

Clotho:his everybody! You brat, don't you see? His no wizard. And you're no Chosen One. He has tricked you. [Evil laughter.]

Luz:What?

[As she's distracted by the reveal, her cape floats up around her. It turns to chains, forcing her to her knees. The bracelets become hand cuffs and the ring becomes chains that lock her hands together, secured with a padlock.]

Luz:No! Betrayed by my own cool accessories. Why are you doing this?

Adegast:Your mentor has been stealing customers from my potions business for years. She must be destroyed.

Luz:Does everybody have a beef with Eda here?!

[All agreeing. Luz sighs.]

Adegast:And you lured her right into my trap, all because you wanted to think you were special.

Luz:No. Joke's on you, 'cause Eda isn't stupid enough to fall for your trap.

Eda:Adegast!

Luz:Oh, heck!

[Eda,King,sunset and shadow land at the end of the walkway.]

Adegast:Eda, I have you now!
[Two cat puppets erupt from the ground, one grabbing Eda and the other King but clotho stops him from grabbing sunset and shadow]
Why are you stopping me?

Clotho:gotchard and that girl are my prey don't interfere

Eda:That's right. You have me. Now release Luz.

King:I didn't have to be a part of this!

Adegast:Oh, she can leave. If she wants to. But I sense she wants a real fantasy.

[The Chris puppet breathes a cloud of fog at Luz. When she opens her eyes, she's free of her restraints, kneeling in a dark void. Adegast's puppets walk up to her from the dark while shadow now gotchard was fight clotho with sunset]

Nevareth:Stay with us, Luz. Stay with Adegast. We need you here. You could be our Chosen One.

Princess:Yeah, you can eat our tiny foods forever.

Nevereth:Luz, why would you want to live in a world where people laugh at you?

Luz:It is beautiful here.

Eda:Luz!

Gotchard:sis don't listen to them!(Blocks a punch from clotho)

Sunset:his right(grabs clotho arm and kick her away) don't fall to his trick!

Luz:And you guys think I'm special.

Eda:No! [Grunts as the tentacle nearly envelops her.]

[The puppets all close in on Luz.]

Luz:But it's not real. [Grunts and waves the fog away, running forward to pick up her sword.] I am a Witch's Apprentice. And I'm gonna earn my magic staff the hard way. I believed you, Magic Man. Now feel my wrath!

[Luz stabs the wizard puppet through the stomach, making it disappear with a poof. Adegast screams. Eda and King free themselves, landing next to Luz with grunts. Luz swings her sword at the princess like it's a bat, making her poof away. Three cat puppets approach Eda. She draws a spell circle, sending a plume of orange smoke at them. They disintegrate with distorted screams. Adegast continues screaming. Nevareth tries to blindside Luz, but his yell alerts her. She catches his sword with her own and duels him.]

Luz:I thought we had a connection, Nevareth! [Plunges her sword through his chest.]

Nevareth:[Grunts.] Ah, my flawless pecs! [Poofs.]

[Eda lands next to Luz, the two sharing a smile and Luz looks at gotchard]

Luz: shadow I'm sorry for saying that stuff to yea earlier(gets flicked in the head by shadow) ow

Gotchard:apology accepted

Adegast:Back off! [Holds up King.] Or the dog gets it.

King:I am not a- [Muffled grunt.]

[Eda and Luz drop their weapons and raise their hands in surrender but sunset and gotchard stay on guard.]

Luz:King, I'm sorry. I should have listened to you and never trusted that wizard. You were right. He isn't mystical or magical. He's just a big, slimy jerk.

[She kicks her sword, sending it flying point first into Adegast's head. He screams and drops King, who is caught by Luz. The scream changes pitch as Adegast shrinks to less than an eighth of his previous size. Eda and Luz walk up to him.]

Eda:[Picks him up.] Well, that's the last time I take an outside referral.

(Before Eda could eat him clotho says something with gold in the chant and throws the Mackraken Chemy card at adegast and turning him into the kraken malgam)

Kraken malgam:(roars and clotho disappears)

Sunset: what the fudge is that?!

Eda:a malgam kid fight this thing and free the Chemy

Gotchard:(nods and pulls out Skebows and Apparebushido) let me your power skebows apparebushido!(Puts in skebows card in first and then puts in apparebushido card in next)

Gotcha driver: skebows! Apparebushido!

Gotchard:chou henshin!

Gotcha driver:Gotchanko go!
Appareskebow!

(Gotchard changed into gotchard Appareskebow form)

Gotchard(Appareskebow):(rushes at the kraken malgam and slashing it with the gotchartornado and pull the the leaver on the weapon and release the leaver)

Gotchartornado: tornado arrow!

(Gotchard appareskebows shoots a arrow made for energy at the malgam weakening it)

Gotchard (appareskebows):let's finish this!(Push the leavers of the gotcha driver and pull them)

Gotcha driver: appareskebows! Fever!

(The malgam explode and Minato shows up and pulls out a blank Chemy card and the Chemy goes into the card becoming the Mackraken Chemy card)

Minato:he defeated a gold malgam on his first I must say impressed(walks off)

[Cut to the six of them on Eda's staff, hovering in the sky. Luz is wearing a blindfold while sunset and shadow used alchemy to make a flying carpet to see]

Eda:Okay, you can look.

Luz:[Takes the blindfold off.] Whoa!
[The camera pans to reveal the whole of the Boiling Isles: the decomposing body of a Titan. It's laying with its arms splayed in the sea, its skull illuminated by the setting sun.]

Eda:The bones of the Isles. Up close, the Isles can be slimy-

King:And very stinky.

Eda:And gross. But if you look at it from a different perspective...

[The six of them look to the sky above the Titan's skull, where stars are beginning to appear. As they watch, a shooting star crosses the sky, there for only a moment.]

Sunset:It's beautiful.

Shadow:Yeah. [Leans against sunset shoulder.]

Luz:Eda, how did you know that wizard was lying?

Eda:Look, kid, everyone wants to believe they're "chosen". But if we all waited around for a prophecy to make us special, [Chuckles.] we'd die waiting. And that's why you need to choose yourself.

Luz:Does that mean you'll give me a magic staff of my own?

Eda:Not yet. But... someday.

[Luz leans against Eda as they watch the sun continue to set.]
