Them's the Breaks, Kid part 1

One fine evening,

Outside the Owl House, Luz, her echo mouse, Oswald and King are trying new glyph combinations. The first one shown is of a small whirlwind, the second one is a water fountain, the third one is a petrification glyph that turns the toy on top of it into stone, and Luz is then shown drawing a fourth glyph.]

Kid are you sure this is a good idea? Oswald adds holding Luz's notebook.

Luz finishes drawing the glyph. Definitely. Alright, maybe it's this one!
[She activates the glyph, and a monstrous claw sprouts from it. Luz, upon seeing it, screams in surprise and backs up.

Eda instantly bursts through the door, with her staff in hand, and destroys the claw, which turns into goo which splatters Owlbert, Oswald, King, and Luz.]

Safe! [both her , Oswald and King wipe the goo off their faces] Thanks, Eda. [luz grabs her notepad and a pencil from Oswald) That was.. definitely not the one. [crosses out the glyph on her notepad and labeling "NO" next to it]

[Eda picks up the petrified miniature toy and it crumbles.] Eugh. [shivers] What are you doing out here?

Luz explains excitedly. I started going through Philip Wittebane's diary again. Since my trip with Lilith, I found out that a lot of his margin doodles were actually unfinished glyph combos. [sighs and looks down dejectedly] I thought maybe they could help with the portal door but... [the claw rises again but is swallowed by Hooty] no luck.

Maybe it's for the best. I don't like that you're still thinking about that creep.

I've tried telling her eda.

Luz sighs. I know. [curls up and pulls her hoodie on] I just miss my adopted mom....I said too many bad things to her. [King looks at Eda and points at Luz]

Eda kneels down. Let's take a break, huh? [no response from Luz] Maybe... I could tell you... a story? [Luz instantly approaches Eda's face with a look of curiousness.]

Luz excitedly. Like a backstory kind of story from you or dad's childhood ?

Eda: Yes. [Luz, King, her echo mouse and Hooty excitedly sit.]

Hooty: Hoooooot!

Eda: This is the story of how I met the coolest, baddest, kick-buttiest with of all time....besides your dad: Raine Whispers.

[Cut to Young Eda holding a pack of flashcards in her hands; the first one says, "Things abominations probably shouldn't do." The second card says: "The Titan's five humors"]

Young Eda: [offscreen] Okay. Titan's five humors.

[the two Clawthorne sisters walking but only their feet are seen; Young Eda is kicking a grudgby ball.]

Young Lilith: [offscreen] Hmm... Earth, bone, blood, bile and, uh... [sighs] I always forget the last one! It's always on the tip of my tongue, it's...

Young Eda eagerly. It's... [starts making a snake-like sound]

Young Lilith: [slowly] Snakes...?

Young Eda: Breath! [breathes on Young Lilith and laughs]

Young Lilith: Eda, you have smilk breath. Gross!

[Young Eda laughs and walks away. Young Lilith follows her.]

Young Lilith: Give me another question.

Young Eda laughs. Alright, alright. On Scaburary 40th, the day Belos declared the Isles an empire... [kicks the grudgby ball towards Young Lilith] Think fast!
