Why Luz is on the Boiling Isles

Let me start in the human realm. The Luz that is with Camilla isn’t really scary but was just creepily shown to us. If she was really creepy Camilla wouldn’t have been watching tv with her. I did try to figure out who this other Luz could be or who send her. For this I first took into account the letters that Camilla received. A few things about these letters stood out for me.

First off, from what we know, Luz only told Eda about summer camp and she didn’t understand what it was. This means that whoever wrote the letters was aware that Luz was supposed to be at summer camp and what she would be doing there. However, the writer didn’t know enough of it so the text in the letters seems like they are written by someone living on the Boiling Isles.  

Secondly, the name is spelled wrong. This rules out anyone who is friends with Luz.

Thirdly, if the letters are stacked chronologically, they do kind of follow Luz’s adventures on the Boiling Isles. The pink letter mentions her making a friend (Willow when she pretends to be her abomination) and the top letter fits with Luz learning new things at Hexside. This would suggest that whoever is writing these letters is also watching Luz.

I am ruling Belos out because the letters are too personal and wouldn’t be necessary to send. There is no reason why Belos would try and make sure Camilla doesn’t know Luz is missing (that I know of right now).

Just before the surprise heart attack concerning the other Luz, Gwendalyn gives some interesting new info:

Gwendalyn: “You are not the only human to have lived in Bonesborough. There’s a rare substance called Titan’s blood. It is extremely powerful, and sometimes causes leaks between our realms. Plants, animals and- You guys have a lot of garbage by the way. But humans are rare. My great-grandmother told me about a human who once lived here. But one day, he just vanished. Rumor has it, he left something in the library and, if you can find out more about him…”

Luz: “Maybe I can find out how he got here”

We can take four things out of this:

The other/first human on the Boiling Isles didn’t come through a portal;

It was a man;

This happened 6 generation ago (Luz, Eda, Gwendalyn, her mother, grandmother, great-grandmother);

Titan’s blood is very powerful and capable of jumping realms, so is that why Belos has the Titan’s heart pumping in his throne room?

The final piece of info I am basing my theory on are the episode titles and the sentences they spell out. For season one we got ‘A witch loses a true way’ and so far in season two we got ‘Seek the key’. Both can easily refer to the portal but since Luz is not a witch and already has Eda’s key since the start of season two, it doesn’t fit her.  So who is this about?

Here is my theory:

The first human to get into the Boiling Isles was a Noceda. He found a way to return back home and told his son/daughter about the Boiling Isles and how to get there. This went find for four generations until Luz’s dad went missing/died/lost custody/what have you, before being able to tell Luz.

Perhaps he (or his parent) was the previous owner of the portal and lost it in the mud right before Eda found it. Someone/something on the Boiling Isles, needs the next Noceda to get to the Boiling Isles to fix/prevent/save something. This is why Luz was the one ending up following Owlbert. Maybe Luz’s dad did tell Camilla about this and that is why she received the letters and is watching tv with the other Luz (abomination? Illusion? Shapeshifter?). To keep her from worrying/interfering.

tldr: Luz was right that she “Luz Noceda, average teen, actually has a predetermined path of greatness”

CTHULHU MYTHOS X OWL HOUSE CROSSOVER: GODS AWAKEN (Pt. VII)

Fire rained down from the sky onto a small village engulfing all in its path. Smoke filled the sky, obscuring the sun and smothering the light. Houses of wood were incinerated by fireballs. Screams of terror surged through the broken remnants of the village.  

"Hush, now, please,” a woman said. She had her child wrapped tightly in her arms whilst simultaneously trying to silence the howls coming from him. She ran over the burning ashes of what used to be her village for what seemed like hours. Screams of bloody murder and misery came from afar, but she could not cease her escape now lest her child be in danger.  

“Please, help!”  

She stopped and scanned the area. Sensing that it came from an eastern region, the mother turned around and sprinted. A house was leveled and torn into pieces with fire dancing in every direction. She could see two small figures standing by what used to be a part of one of the beams of the house. When she ran closer to them, she could make out that they were a brother and sister.  They crouched down in front of the debris. The daughter, the youngest, looked up at the mother with a worried expression.

“Our mother is stuck under there.”  

A medium-sized woman was wedged between the ground and the ceiling. Flames tickled around her; each lick of one of the flames wrought a moan of pain from her. She saw the mother and gave a weak smile.  

“My legs are broken,” she explained, “please take my children and run away from this place.”  

“No, Mom, we’re going to save you!” the brother spoke up. He grasped some piece of the ceiling and chunked it over his shoulder. The flames were beginning to spread. His mother pushed herself up for a few seconds giving the impression that she was doing her best to slide herself out.  

“There’s no time!” she rubbed one of her son’s tears away before speaking again. “You have to leave.”  

The two siblings looked at their mother and then towards the woman that they called over. While the young mother weighed her options, the ground shook. They all glared at the sky their hopes dashed. A winged beast with the semblance of a gigantic bat and as black as night hovered above them. Its three-lobed, singular eye throbbed. The young mother, breaking from the awe she felt, quickly collected her son and resumed her running. The two kids glanced over horrified.

“Wait, don’t leave us!”  

She did not turn back not until the sounds of the family’s screaming became a memory. In her heart, she knew that she had some accountability to the fate that befell on the family, but she panicked when that thing arrived. She had to keep her child safe no matter the cost. Her legs grew tired by the second and yet, her child was still crying without halt. The tendons in the mother’s ankles were tiring themselves out. There came the sound of a rushing wind. The mother’s legs killed her, but she attempted to run again.  

The bat monster was on the horizon again narrowing her down. The beast’s eye glared again, shooting fire towards the mother. With little thought, she tossed her child aside and was engulfed in the fire. The baby’s crying became louder likely realizing what happened to his mother. He looked up and saw a smoky vapor flowing towards him.

“Well, what have we here?” the voice said.  

A small, green orb began to crystallize in front of the young child.  

“GAH!”  

King jolted himself awake sweat rolling down his head in thick beads. Luz looked up from her mat, concerned. “King? What is it?”  

King’s panting slacked down in his attempt to compose himself. “Uh, yeah, Luz; I’m okay.”  

“Are you sure?” Luz asked, probing further, “sounded like you were having a nightmare.”  

King shook his head. “Luz, Luz, I am fine; don’t think about it!”  

Before Luz could say anything else, the living tube-bird known only as Hooty barged in.  

“Hoot! Hoot! Want to know my worst nightmare?”  

“No, no one wants that!” King said annoyed.  

"As the people of the Isles knows, three traitors were taken before our lord, Emperor Belos, the other day and were found guilty of the highest treason for trying to sow the seeds of rebellion against our way of life. The three were petrified towards the midday.”  

The residents of the Owl House quietly listened to the announcement over the news. Eda and King casually started eating their breakfast, but Luz could not eat. She felt her fists tense up.

“What is it, kid?” Eda asked, taking note of it.

“How can anyone allow Belos to do something like this?” she slammed her fists on the table.

“Rule of the land, kid,” King responded.  

Luz slumped in her chair. “I guess so...but Belos should be stopped.”  

“That isn’t our concern now,” Eda clarified, “don’t even think of trying to face him again on your own.”  

Luz nodded once more and she began to eat her breakfast as quietly as she could muster.

“Besides, we have bigger problems,” Eda said.  

Ever since she betrayed Emperor Belos and became a fugitive, Lilith, in a sense, broke down. The moment she entered the house, she collapsed on the couch and remained there for a solid two weeks. In that course of time, Lilith had accumulated a lot of powder dust from the chips and other junk food she was eating. She passively was browsing through Penstagram with little interest. Her clothes had begun to wreak in the meantime. Dark bags were under her eyes.  

“She’s...not taking her becoming a fugitive too well isn’t she?” Luz asked/

“Well, it’s better than the alternative,” Eda said.

“What is the alternative?”  

“The Emperor could send someone to kill her in her sleep,” Eda snickered.  

Luz and King gave the Owl Lady a serious look. Eda quickly stopped laughing. “What? That’s true.”  

Luz walked into the room and stood by the couch. “Are you alright, Lilith?”  

“Luz, have you ever dedicated your entire life to a cause because of some shady man’s promise only to then realize that in all those years said person wasn’t going to honor their part of the deal and you’re likely now on the run from the government lest they take your head?”  

Luz tapped her chin. “I...I don’t think so.”  

Lilith sighs. “The point is I no longer have any significant purpose because I have been lied to for years; I hurt my young sister for a meaningless position because I thought I could cure her, but now...here I am just wallowing in my despair.”  

Luz squinted her eyes in thought. “Well, we have to get you back on your feet somehow.”  

Lilith laid down on the couch. “Yeah, yeah; while you brainstorm, I’ll just lay here for a moment.”  

“You were on the couch for two weeks!” Eda informed her, “I just had it cleaned!”  

Lilith tosses a puff chip at her. “Just leave me alone; the couch is the only one who understands me.”  

Eda scowled momentarily and walked out of the room. Luz watched Lilith for a couple seconds before deciding to head out as well. King was finishing up with his food when he saw them return. “Did it work out?”  

“Not exactly,” Luz said in a bitter tone.  

“Well, we can’t have her just sit there all day,” King noted.

“We could always pry her off,” Luz said.

“Already tried that: her butt’s glued to the seat.” Eda crossed her arms. “I think she transcended becoming one with it.”  

Luz snapped her fingers. “Maybe we can take a trip to the commerce to buy her something.”  

Eda raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure that will work?”  

Luz shrugged. “Well, it could give her some motivation.”  

Eda rubbed her temples and sighed deeply. “Alright; guess we’ll fly there.”  

Eda came upon her staff but noticed that her palisman was missing. “That’s odd.”  

“What is it, Eda?” Luz asked.

“Where’s Owlbert?”  

Owlbert was outside the Owl House staring at the ground. It remained in that stance for a while until it felt that the time was right. Owlbert crouched down to place its ear against the grass and listened. With one swift scoop of its beak, it held a fat, slimy worm. It grabbed the worm with its tongue and pulled it into its mouth.  

As Owlbert was enjoying the worm, a shrill sound rung out. Owlbert tilted its head in curiosity and flew. After a short distance, Owlbert could see what was making the sound: it was one of the children of the Bat Queen hunched on its side.  

The gang was looking for the missing palisman throughout the house but there was no sign of the little owl. They looked near and around the couch; in their bedrooms; the restroom...zilch.  

“Did you go anywhere yesterday, Eda?” Luz asked.

“Wouldn’t it make sense that I would know whether or not I did?” Eda said in response.

Hooty, per usual, popped in again unannounced. “Oh, I know where he is! Hoot, hoot!”  

Eda, Luz, and King gave Hooty a shared look of annoyance.  

“What do you mean that you already knew?” Eda asked in a thinly-veiled attempt to keep from snapping.  

“He’s outside,” Hooty clarified.

“And why did you choose to tell us now?”  

Hooty pouted. “You guys hardly ever pay attention to me, so I thought it would be fun for you guys to search around inside me.”  

Eda punched the wall.

“OW!! Okay, okay, you don’t have to be a jerk!” Hooty remarked “hoot!”  

The gang approached Owlbert and surrounded him. They too saw the same site. From the looks of it, the child of the Bat Queen’s wing was injured. Luz crouched down and extended her hand. The bat child hissed at her which did make her retract her hand, but she sensed it was because of the pain it was in.  

“But if this one is here, where are the other two?” Eda said.  

Luz’s eyes widened. “Something must have happened!”  

She got up and started to run off, but Eda caught her at the last minute. “Slow yourself, kid.”  

“But the Bat Queen might be in danger!”  

Eda nodded. “I don’t want you to go off on your own.”  

Luz’s gaze sunk. Eda frowned before continuing. “Which is why King and I will go with you.”  

Luz perked back up. “Well, what are we waiting for?!”

Eda walked back into the house carrying the injured bat child. Lilith hadn’t moved from her spot on the couch even when they were tearing the house apart to find Owlbert. Eda rolled her eyes and placed the injured infant on her back. “Luz and I are going out for a bit; you and Hooty take care of this child.”  

Lilith looked up at her younger sister. “I can’t take care of a child like how you do, Eda.”  

“Well, it’s either you, or the child dies” Eda sternly said.  

“Hoot, hoot! Ooo, a baby!” Hooty said in his annoying tone of voice. “I can teach it everything I know!”  

After leaving the infant bat child in the care of her older sister and the house demon, the group of misfits embark to the forest. The clock was ticking.
