Chapter Text
Another morning at the Owl House. King was preparing a special breakfast for special guests. Luz, wearing her Grom dress, was standing nearby looking at the desserts King had prepared.

"Wow, King. This looks great!"

"Thanks. I- I hope they like it too."

"They will," said Oswald. "I promise ya." He too was wearing his tux outfit.

There was a knock at the door and Hooty called out, "Hooty-hoot! We have visitors!"

"They're here!" exclaimed King with excitement.

Eda, wearing her Grom chaperone outfit, guided three demons into the house. They looked exactly like King except one resembled an older version of him and the two resembled younger versions of him.

"Welcome to the Owl House, folks. Hope this place wasn't too hard to find."

"Not at all! Thank you for having us," said the older demon.

"King of Dads! You made it!" King ran to give his dad a hug.

"Wouldn't have missed it for the world, son. I'm so happy we saw that video of yours. Now, maybe after dinner, we can have a nice game of catch."

King let out a high-pitched, excited "Really?"

"Prince of Brothers, Prince of Sisters, do you have something to say to your big bro?"

The two little demons ran to hug their older sibling. "Big brother!"

"Hey, if you're done with the hugfest," called out Oswald. "King's already set up the table! There's a special feast for you all!"

"Hungry!" the little ones chanted.

King's siblings ran up to the table and climbed up the bench. King's dad approached the table from behind them. "Patience, children," he said as he tipped his hat. "It would be rude not to give thanks first."

"Oh! Oh! I can start!" said King. He cleared his throat and said, "I'm thankful that my demon family finally got to meet my owl family." Everyone smiled at that. "Seriously, thi- this is amazing! I- It's almost like... a dream..."

Oh, wait. It was.

"King..." Eda shook the little demon awake. "King... King, come on. It's time to wake up."

"WEH!" King awoke with a sudden jolt. "What's going on? Is there trouble?"

"We're about to find out. Luz and Oswald are ready to talk."

The two were sitting in front of the coffee table with looks of trauma. Luz had a blanket wrapped around her and Oswald had his harpy wings cocooning his body. "Well," he said. "Better start from the beginning..."

Eda, King and Hooty couldn't believe what they heard from Luz and Oswald. How it turned out that Emperor Belos is actually the human Philip Wittibane, a witch hunter who's kept himself alive for hundreds of years by eating palisman souls and had basically tricked the Boiling Isles into thinking they were about to achieve paradise when in reality, it was all a part of a scheme that involved a draining spell that will wipe out all the witches that have been branded with a coven sigil. And some being called the Collector was a part of it.
