The familiar smell of old books and aging parchments hung in the air of the library within Highgate Manor, a place in which Cordelia often had found herself spending much of her time during her time growing up. It was the one corner of her old home that she recalled being able to hold herself up within to be able to escape the ever boresome lessons and droning commands of her mother and father.

Being here now, it felt empty and cold, lacking in that comfort she once so frequently sought after. Then again, the entire estate seemed to have that impression about it and yet, in spite of this, Cordelia reveled in the darkness that lingered there.

Soft clicks on the hardwood floors called her attention away from the spines of the books where her fingertips had been idly tracing over the intricacies of each one. "I trust Wren found you and things have been settled for Lady Cress?" Cordelia mused in question as she turned to address Tilly as she approached.

"Yes, M'lady, the gifts have been procured for her to deliver first thing as well as your bracelet packaged well and secured for travel." The red headed sprite of a hyur nodded pleasantly with hands folded in front of her.

"Good. Very good." The words were distant as she adjusted now to retrieve the large tome and documents, all that had been discovered in the past month or so regarding the details of her newfound lineage. Steel hues locked onto the book itself, her realization coming full force that she held no true connection to the relic and was entirely prepared to release it to its owner, where it belonged.

"I will be preparing to return to Gray Manor the day after tomorrow and once I hear word from Lady Cress that she is well and prepared to meet with me, we will do so. Please see that this, all of this, is settled and packed with my things discreetly and safely to travel once I am ready. There is a letter I also need to you send off to Master Blythe at your earliest convenience once I am through with it." And with that, she offered the items in hand over to Tilly slowly. Once within her grasp, the woman nodded yet again and briskly went about doing as she was asked.

Cordelia watched as her head of staff disappeared from sight before she turned to a small writing desk that was nestled by the window. Moving to take the seat there, she moved about some of the items, opening the ink well she had brought with her and set about dipping her quill within the dark pool. Penning the letter, she wrote each word with purpose and was defibrate with her tone as she offered affections and thoughts to the parchment. They were faint, hardly what one might find in a typical letter to a lover, but they were there. She still teetered on the edge of unsure on how to maneuver and navigate these waters, rough and cloudy as they were, but for the time being, the widow allowed herself to float amongst the waves of uncertainty to let the current take her - them - where it was meant to.

What she was certain of was that she was going to need support, whatever she could muster from those closest to her and it was becoming clear to her that Ricard had bled into that role whether on purpose or not. Taking a deep breath, she blew gently on the wet ink while pushing to stand, readying the letter to be handed off to be sent.

There had yet to be an instance that caused Cordelia Gray to shy from it, neither her ties to House Cress nor her unexpected connections to someone would change her ways now. Steadfast, she was prepared to face a new chapter head on, whatever that may bring.

If you're still taking Hunter prompts, I'd love to see something cute with Pittwins--maybe Luz scratching Hunter behind the ears? XD

No ear scratchies, but how about drinking cranberry juice on the roof talking about girls? :)

Through a Prism of Deceit

Rising steam from a hot cup of tea tickled her nose as she held the teacup just beneath her lips, thoughts consuming her being enough to pause her actions. She and Ricard had spent hours in the depths of old documents, letters, books and ledgers, dust decorating their clothes in a thin layer as they read through every parchment. That was, until he hauled her off to her room, urging her to sleep which she accepted only after he tended to her other needs.

Ricard had returned home for the time being, leaving her alone in her thoughts. She had almost every piece of the puzzle to this twisted surprise in her life and yet Cordelia still sought more. Not even sure if there was more to find, her hands and eyes continued scanning the documents, going over new papers they had yet to get to as well as returning to re-read others. Word had been sent to Wren to take on overseeing the inventory and ledgers for trade to ensure all items were settled with Vahalia’s crew. For the time being, she was choosing to keep the Cress’ at a bit of a distance until she figured out what she planned to do with this whole mess.

With a heavy sigh, she tossed the papers back to the table; nothing new jumped out at her. There was nothing more there this round of reading that wasn’t there the first or second or even third time the words were read. Her room felt oddly empty now as she sat in front of the fireplace, taking up the teacup yet again to sip gingerly from the now tepid liquid which caused her to scrunch her nose and return it to the saucer. She would have Tilly bring a new pot at some point but for now, her gaze fell entranced by the dancing flames, the sounds of the crackling fire soothing her mind. It was then that she realized that the original interaction with Ricard had gone differently than she had anticipated.

Even now as she sat here, a day or so after bringing her newfound lineage to him, Cordelia was unsure as to why her innate response was to seek him out. Perhaps the smarter choice would have been to keep it close to her chest, let not a soul know and use it when the time was right, and by all accounts she certainly planned to do just that. But the want to involve him still had her curious of her own motives and even further, despite his distaste for the family as a whole, the fact he was willing to look beyond that to offer his aid and seemingly without stipulations.

A soft hum vibrated from within her chest as she pursed her lips, fingertips move to twist at the ring on her finger before she lifted her hand to remove the monocle from her eye to gently set it down over the papers. It was becoming painfully obvious that she had found all that there was to be found in the information at her disposal here in the Gray estate and that realization brought a slight tightness in her chest at the thought that followed. When her father eventually passed away, just a few years following her mother, Cordelia had seen to a handful of minor possessions moved to her new home but everything else had been left to collect dust. Any documents, family relics or heirlooms, all the furniture, it all remained there hidden in boxes or covered by ghostly drapery which gave even more to the eeriness of Highgate.

She had not been home since her mother died, little interest finding her to visit her ‘father’ without Elsbeth’s comforting presence at his side. Perhaps now it was time to return, seek out whatever was left behind there and in doing so, bring life back into the estate to be used for future purposes unknown to her at the moment. Cordelia took a deep breath, pushing from her seat and calling for Tilly who remained just outside her chambers in the event something was required of her.

“Yes, Ma’am?” The meek yet spritely woman inquired as she entered to see Cordelia already beginning to ready as if she were leaving.

“Please send word to Master Blythe, have him -” She paused, gathering her thoughts as she already was preparing herself to thrust open those doors to the dark halls of her childhood home. “ - I am going to be spending a few days in Highgate, please see that he knows of the location and to meet me there at his convenience? Also, ready yourself to join me and have Wren find me once she returns from her business with Miss Slater. Once the shipment is settled I would like her to also be prepared to join us.”

Cordelia was thankful that Damien had gone quiet for the time being, despite her concern for what that meant exactly knowing that he was likely off in his corner of the world planning something, the quiet was aptly timed so that she could focus on this without worrying too much about leaving the Gray estate behind. Tilly nodded once her directions had been given and quickly went about doing as she was asked. She sat down at her vanity, gazing into the mirror and seeing very little in terms of her reflection.

You are a Corvin and a Gray

Ricard’s words echoed in her mind as her eyes fell to her mother’s ring on her finger. It was time to face some of the ghosts of her past, to find answers. It was time to go home.

The best trope is enemies to found family. This either works as “we all used to try and kill each other but now we fight for each other” or as “you were sent to assassinate my found family but we simply adopted you, and now you’re on a redemption arc like no one’s ever seen,” and they both mean so much to me

i KEEP seeing the take that the ending of the owl house turned luz into "god's specialist boy/chosen one" and that took away from her arc but!! gotta disagree bros. The final three episodes of The Owl House leaned into the parallels between Luz and Belos, and Luz's own awareness of them. And she's terrified that she's going to share in his arrogance, or his disregard for others, or that she'll continue to aid his destruction of the isles. But she didn't end up like him, and it's not because of random chance. She chose not to end up like him.

Belos thought he was chosen by god because he ended up in the demon realm, surrounded by witches that he decided he had to eradicate. Luz spent a few episodes thinking she had been chosen because she ended up in the demon realm, before realizing that no world works that way, and that she'll have to carve out her own place here. And then she spends 2 seasons doing just that! Making friends, connecting with the natural world, learning the language of the Titan.

Luz was only chosen by the Titan because *she* chose the Titan first. She devoted herself to learning from him, and respecting him, and spreading that knowledge to help other people connect with the isles and with magic. Which sounds a lot more religious, written out like that, than it was. Belos tried to make it look religious, to make it seem like the Titan was an old god, in order to manipulate people. But the Titan is not a god, he's just a huge kind of alive corpse with magic, which witches also have, but Luz doesn't. Luz has been borrowing his magic, just like Belos has. But Belos was using it to destroy the Titan and the life that depended on him, and Luz wanted to keep it alive. So! The Titan helped her! She earned that! She forged that connection with him over months and months of hard work and self-reflection and compassion. Before the Titan died, they had a reciprocal relationship, so of course the Titan wanted to meet her, and use the last of his magic to help her finish what she started.

She was not Chosen (capital C) she was just chosen. As a friend, a human, and a witch, because she chose to be those things herself.

#like how on earth do u look at the owl house and say that luz did not earn that ending #like come. on.#i love luz <3 #the owl house #gray speaks #luz noceda #toh titan #and this isn't even getting into her relationship w King & why that matters #another day perhaps #toh
