[The scene opens on a checklist Eda's looking over in her room.]

Eda: Luz needs a new coat

Eda: Luz needs a new coat. King needs to be checked for fleas. Y/n is making a mask to hide his identity, should probably make one for me and Luz as well since the Emperor's Coven has been upping their attacks lately. Am I missing anything? [Looks at her reflection.] Oh, you've changed, Owl Lady. [Takes a photo of her with Luz, Y/n, and King at Grom and looks at it.] It's worth it.

Luz: [Outside.] And three, and four, and five, and six,

Y/n: and seven, and eight, and nine, and ten!

King: [Simultaneously.] And weh, and weh, and weh, and weh, and weh, and weh, and weh, and weh!

[Eda opens her window and smiles as she looks down and sees Luz, Y/n, and King doing pull-ups on her staff in midair.]

Luz: Alright, King. What's the first thing you're going to do when you meet your dad?

Y/n: Yeah, any plans?

King: And "ten thousand"! Well, once we're done training, I'm gonna move out of that closet, that's for sure. Then, I'm going to ugly cry. Hard!

Luz: Have you told Eda about your decision to le—?

King: Shh!

[They hear a noise and look up. Eda's window is closed. The witch herself is crouching under the window frame.]

King: I—I'm not ready yet. I'm not sure how she'll react.

Y/n: Well I'm sure she'll be ok. Anyways... [He continues to do sit-ups while Luz and King take a break.]

Luz: Man, you seem to be getting fitter the longer we stay here. Looking back you didn't seem as lean until now.

Y/n: Well I mean we both are getting stronger. With all those Griffin eggs we've been eating, that is a lot of protein. Then again, Yonaka also seems to be amping my body a bit so I guess that also could be the answer. [He finishes his set of pull-ups]

Luz: Hehe, true. So how's that technique you've been trying to master? 

Y/n: I've gotten the hang of it a bit.

Luz: Can you show us? The last technique I saw was your "Air Slash" thingy.

Y/n: I'll show you now. But wait, I actually named that "Air Slash" move. I call it "Moon-Fang". I took inspiration from one of my favorite anime. 

Luz: Oooo neat! Now let's see that new technique.

Y/n: Alright, here. I call this technique "Air Walk". [ He then proceeds to jump and push himself off the air to give the appearance of flight. Kind of like double jumping. Luz and King are amazed. Y/n stops and slowly falls down.]

Luz: WO HO HO AH! THAT IS AMAZING! Is that how you arrived at Hexside before us?

Y/n: Yes but I was mostly running back then since I was still trying to figure it out. [Flashback to Y/n getting clotheslined by a branch.] Now, you're wondering how I did it huh?

Luz: Mhm mhm [She nods her head.]

Y/n: Well, since I've been building up my legs and borrowing the power of Yonaka to boost my physical strength, I can propel myself with strong kicks. But then again... [He turns away from Luz and King, facing the cliff. He kicks and a strong gush of wind exerts from his kick that propels him back and lunches him down towards the feet of the two.] ...It's hard to control.

Luz: [She helps Y/n up.] Well, I'm sure you'll it will be very useful. [She smiles.]

Y/n: So... You wanna have a test race?!

Luz and King: [Luz has a determined smile.] Bring it on.

[Cut to inside.]

Eda: [Sighs.] Everyone's leaving, huh? Even King. I guess I'm no substitute for the real thing. [Eda opens her trunk to place the photo in and spots a bell cittern with a raincloud and bolt carved into it. She puts the photo in her hair and picks the cittern up.] Welp, nothing like a good distraction. [Eda starts playing a song and everything around her starts to float.] [Gasps.] Has my magic returned? [Stops playing: everything falls down.] Oh, guess not. Stupid curse. [Eda puts the cittern back in the trunk and returns to her list. Behind her, a plant starts to turn black and corrode.]
