Chapter Text
A ordinary night at the night market.

Emperor Guard: "You there! Fool! Hold fast. You've been accused of a crime against the laws of this land. What say you in your defense?"

Oswald carrying a box of live voles. "Wh... What? A crime? Me? Preposterous! Poor me is just standing here! Oswald loves order. Oh yes! He would never disrespect the law!"

Guard: "You look like a crazy man to me. And what's in that box, hmm? Maybe some time in a cell will help loosen that lying tongue."

Oswald : "Damn that tibbles. Oh, how he will pay for this treachery..."

Guard: "You just keep quiet and stay where you are. Soon as my relief arrives, we'll all take a nice little trip."

"How about I've give you a nice trip."

( Oswald stabs guard with a silver dagger and throws him into the boiling sea )

The next morning.

the Owl House living room, where Eda and Owlbert are playing a card game with Luz and King watching. Eda shuffles her hand, and the eyes on the cards look up at her. Owlbert, wearing a green visor, narrows his eyes and hoots.]

Watch closely, Luz. Hexes Hold'em is the most tricky game on the Boiling Isles. Any proper witch knows how to play.

Oh boy, cards! The paper rectangles that old people think are fun!

[Eda puts a card down on the table. Lightning comes from the cards, sending Owlbert flying for cover behind the side of the table. The cards all stand and roar. Owlbert's surge forward and attack Eda's, making Owlbert smirk.]

Now when it looks like the deck is stacked against you, that's when you break out the wildcard.

[She holds up a card with a tower on it. It glows green, and Owlbert's cards disappear in a flash of fire. Fiery letter spelling out "WINNER: EDA" appear and disappear over the table. Owlbert hops back on and hoots at Eda, his wings extended.]

Eda: Woo, I win! In your adorable owl face. Ah, I love the feeling of victory; it feels...fluffy? [feathers are growing from her arms]

Luz: Uh, Eda? It's happening again!

Eda: What's happening again?

King: Your curse is returning!

Eda: [yelps]

[Cut to the inside of a chest as Eda opens it, Luz on one side and King on the other.]

Oh, boy.

[All of the bottles in the chest are empty.]

Eda: This is terrible. I'm out of elixir.

Luz: Uh, last time this happened, you turned into this thing. [holds up her phone, a picture of the Owl Beast on screen]

Eda: I know I should be repulsed, but that look is fierce.

Luz: Eda!

Eda: hey you turned into a baby owl yourself, but You're right, you're right. We need to head to the market.

Luz: Market! [stands and starts to leave]

King laughs follows her. I'm stealing everything that's not nailed down!
