Chapter 1: Prologue

It had been a normal-ish day for the Owl House with Eda doing the last of her housework for the day while Luz and King were practicing material for their new 'Luz and King's Comedy Hour'; however suddenly they saw a portal open up in the floor and suck them out. "Would you believe that this is not the first time something like this has happened..." Eda muttered while they saw that they were in a white room with several confused individuals mostly comprising of Hexside students and Principal Bump.

Luz waved happily to them and they waved back with the students muttering about recognising Willow's supposed abomination though members of the Humans Appreciation Society looked intrigued. "Oh great, you have to be here. I was in the middle of doing some important work for school and I end up here with you presumably trapped until we find a way out." Amity spoke up glaring at her with her arms folded and Luz just looked nervous but stood still as she heard a familiar voice.

"Mija, I am so disappointed and upset but kind of proud and impressed knowing what has happened!" Luz looked as her mother Camila Noceda engulfed her into a hug as Luz gasped and was even more nervous. "I became sceptical when he said that you came to a magical realm to become a witch but the episode he showed me and all this... I wished that I kept a closer eye on you but I am so glad that you are okay..." Camila said as the other people in the room looked on though Amity looked a bit jealous at the display of parental affection.

"You must be Luz's mother, I'm Eda and I'm Luz's mentor and I have to say she has been a most exceptional student..." Eda greeted but then Camila glared at her. "Was it something I said?" Eda asked as Camila really layed it onto her.

"How dare you, convincing my daughter to stay in your shack and take advantage of her fantasies? I have seen that you are pretty much a junk peddling scam artist!" Camila ranted as Eda looked insulted at the junk peddling comment.

"Mum; calm down please, Eda has been looking out for me ever since I got here and it was my choice so be mad at me... Did you say someone came to you and how did you find out about Eda... What's this about an episode?" Luz asked as then they saw a dark blue flash and there was now an individual in a dark blue suit with a pair of sunglasses.

"Why that would be me Ms Noceda my guest of honour at this little get together and must I say it's an honour as a big fan of yours. I am here to play the part of host as we look at your life in the Boiling isles as like a TV show with these extras acting as audience; the name that I have given myself is Cornholio and I am what you might call an Author." The individual introduced himself with a bow as Luz looked excited.

"So you write stories?" Luz asked as Eda came forward.

"I have dabbled in writing hundreds of stories; only like a few have I actually been able to finish if I am being generous." Cornholio replied.

"Be careful around him Luz; I have read about his kind in the rare books that I have managed to find. He belongs to a race of interdimensional beings outside the worlds and outside of time and space; limitless power but they mostly watch over worlds and amuse themselves by toying with individuals whose stories that they like. They appear to mortals as Avatars in order to interact with them; supposedly their true forms are too massive and bright for eyes to comprehend." Eda said looking protectively in front of Luz which Carmila noticed.

"Why yes, I am acting as an avatar to my true form; an Author Avatar if you will. I was originally toying with using the voice and appearance of Alastor the Radio Demon from this delightful demon chap from this internet web series called Hazbin Hotel with his dapper appearance and radio esque voice but the look might have been too scary for your eyes." Cornholio said as he walked around in a circle. "You see us Authors with our great power and knowledge decided to bring individuals out of their respective worlds and have them be audience to their lives with movies or shows from universes where they are fictional characters. Your mother, I have decided to give her a little advanced preview of the first two episodes so she is here with a better idea of what has happened to you. While other Authors may claim to do so to the individuals in order to fix the future or something along the lines; I will be completely honest and let you know that we are mostly doing this for our own amusement." Cornholio explained as there were mutterings from everyone there.

"Wait, are you saying that we are going to be watching episode of a show where I am the main character?" Luz asked with wide eyes as some students were not sure what to make of this but were interested about the life of this human.

"Why yes you are with the 2nd season going to debut soon but some higher up idiots at the mouse's empire thought that instead of a full 3rd season it should instead be 3 specials to end it." Cornholio said as Luz was awestruck.

"Mouse's empire? Are you saying that I am a lead in a Disney show?" Luz asked as Cornholio gave a slight nod as Luz gave an endearing looking squeal. "Okay apart from training to be a witch, this is the coolest that could have ever happen to me!" Luz said as most students batted an eye.

"Wait just a minute, why should we let you make a show of the future when you admitted that you are doing this for your own amusement? What if it affects anything that we managed to accomplish on our own? Knowing the future affecting it and so forth..." Eda asked glaring at Cornholio who chuckled.

"We are going to see some fascinating stories and learn some secrets; wouldn't you like to know who cursed you?" Cornholio asked as Eda was dumbstruck and took a step back as Cornholio faced the crowd. "You are free to leave but I think you would find this show to be most entertaining and informative, you might learn somethings about people around you that might surprise you I assure you that you will be treated to adventures, comedy, drama and even a little romance. I mean we could learn about a friendship broken thanks to blackmail?" Cornholio asked as the assembled audience seemed to be interested. Amity thought might as well bear through it as she might learn something useful and see what makes this human tick.

Wait this Author's last statement, he couldn't possibly be talking about what she thought he was...

Could he...

Cornholio then snapped his fingers and the place turned into a movie theatre and Cornholio asked them to line up for their tickets which will take them to their seats. Most of them were confused but went through it anyway with them going to the seats with their number on it. Luz ended up sitting next to her mother and saw that Amity was on the other side which made Amity groan.

"This girl doesn't seem to get along with my Luz, why did you sit them next to eachother?" Carmila asked as Cornholio only grinned silently as the lights went out as the screen goes on to start the show.
