Chapter Text
Blight Industries. It was the facility where most of the Boiling Isles' technology, gadgets and weaponry was built. As the name implied, it was owned by the Blights, one of the wealthiest and powerful witch families. With the amount of money and power they had, they commanded a lot of respect and authority. And it happened to be Amity, Emira and Edric's family.

Tonight was a special night at the facility. A secret auction was to take place. Those invited were to wear hoods and masks to conceal their identity to all but the Blights. Emira and Edric stood guard at the entrance, checking their invitations... and discretely putting "Hex Me!" signs on their backs.

Inside was a large stage, with two figures standing in the spotlight. The first was a woman with green hair and was wearing a black skirt and a purple shirt with a white corset. The second was a rather disheveled looking man wearing a messy white lab coat and crooked goggles. The woman spoke as she took a bow, "Welcome, valued investors, to our annual Blight Industries private sale!" Her husband tried to bow with her only to loose balance and land on his face.

Ignoring her husband's clumsiness, Mrs. Blight continued, "If you're interested in reliable home security, we're here to help. And, if you've got an enemy or two... Well, who are we to judge?" The investors laughed at her joke. "This is my husband Alador Blight, the greatest abomination creator of the era. My name is Odalia, and as an oracle, I predict you'll love what we've got in store for you tonight. We are proud to present... the first glimpse of our crowning achievement." A platform rose up, revealing what looked like an Abomination garbed in armor. Next to it was Amity, looking incredibly bored.

"The Abomaton Soldier!" Mrs. Blight said, giving off a flair of showmanship. "It will pour your tea! Help you keep up with the latest trends! And best of all, it will defend you against any unwanted visitors!"

Amity and the Abomaton got into a battle stance. Amity's necklace glowed as she heard her mother's voice speak in her mind, "Mama to Mittens, remember our deal: Make this look good, and we'll forgive your recent lackluster performance in school."

"Yes, Mom." The Abomaton's fist turned into a hammer and tried to slam her, but she easily dodged it. "Wow it's so fast and strong. Order now." It grabbed her and held her up. "Oh no, it's undefeatable. How will I ever escape?" Suddenly, her grom picture slipped from her pocket. The creature was about to step on it and that's when Amity stopped acting. She cast a spell that caused the Abomiton to melt before it could take another step.

The investors were not impressed and began booing. Mrs. Blight quickly tried to do some damage control. "Oh, of course, w-well that was but a beta test. We can't wait to see you all next week when reveal the uh... the finished product in all its glory!"

After the auction ended prematurely, she marched toward her daughter and grabbed her by the arm. "Amity! You just lost us a lot of money! What's with you lately?!" But Amity's focus was directed at the picture in her other hand. Mrs. Blight immediately got her answer. "I see. Looks like our precious Mittens has been getting... distracted." Neither Amity, nor Emira and Edric liked the frown their mother was making.

At the Owl House the next morning, Hooty struck a cauldron sitting on the weathervane like a bell. Luz were giving lessons to her own pupils: who just happened to be their mentors, Eda , Oswald and Lilith. "Light in the darkness, a glittering bridge of ice, the mightiest tree in the forest!" Luz produced light, ice and plant spells.

"And the flames of the Inferno!" Oswald adds produced a fire spell that fired near Lilith.

"You can make all these, and more, with glyph magic! Welcome to day three of Luz's magic boot camp!"
