At the Owl House, Luz was talking to Eda.

"Do you know why your sister was so focused on my birthmark?"

"Hmm, can't say. Maybe it just reminded her of something. Though one thing comes to mind but that would be crazy." Eda said as she waved that off.

"What?"

"I think it was something to do with a.....daughter having the same birthmark her neck. But that's just crazy, she and her wife disappeared years ago and you're a human." Eda said as she looked to Luz. "Seeing that birthmark might have given her false hope that you're her daughter but that's can't be since again, you're a human."

"She had a daughter?"

"Yeah, she disappeared with Lily's wife about ten years ago."

Luz didn't know why but she felt like this applied to her but how? Eda was right, she was human and Lilith was a witch! So why does it fell like something was clawing the inside of her head to try and get out!? In another part of the Isles, Lilith looked at the test results. Tomorrow, she was going to march over to that house, go inside... and hug her daughter, and she sure as hell wasn't going to let go. Crying tears of joy as a part of her heart that was long thought to be dead had sprung back to life! A warm feeling she missed after an entire decade was back like never before!

'Lucenda, you're alive! You're really alive!' She thought as she hugged the results close to her chest.

She didn't sleep much that night, she was too excited. Luz on the other hand, was also having a hard time sleeping, but not for the same reason. When she tried to sleep earlier, she had a dream of a ball of blue light, a pair of pale hands holding hers, and a familiar face of a woman with straight dark orange hair and glasses.

"That's it, Lucenda! Come to mama Lily!" She said with an echo.

From Luz's view point, she was close to the ground and stumbling as she slowly walked to the woman. Her voice only came out in babbles as she had stubby hands reaching for her.

"Y-y-you walked! Cam, she just walked!"

Luz woke up again, holding her head.

"What is going on?!" She asked herself.

That couldn't have been a dream! That woman knew her mother's name and she seemed like she knew Luz.

"Mama Lily?" Luz said to herself, wiping some sweat away as she compared her "mama" to Lilith.

She looked out the window and saw the sun coming up.

"Okay, I'm just going to go the day without thinking about this." She said.

Too bad for Luz, someone else was going to do the exact opposite and use that to fuel her search for her. Luz, Eda, and King were on the couch, watching something on the crystal ball, when there was a knock on the door.

"Kid, go get that."

"Why do I have to?"

Eda held up her leg... which was not attached to her.

"Because I only have one leg."

"But you just had it a second ago!" Luz said back.

"You know my body parts pop off every now and then, now get the door." Eda said, looking around for her leg.

"Okay." Luz said with a sigh, getting up and walking to the front door.

It's funny because Hooty would normally be chatting with whoever was at the door unless he was asleep. Luz opened the door and saw Lilith. The second Lilith saw Luz, she crouched down and hugged her, completely shocking Luz.

"Lucenda!" She said, alerting King and Eda to her.

"Lilith?!" Eda said in shock as she looked to the door.

"Hello, Edalyn, don't mind me, I'm just here for my daughter." Lilith said, handing the test to Eda.

"Daughter?!" Luz and Eda said in shock, the wanted witch hopping over to the door and snatching the paper.

Looking it over, Eda saw that it was a DNA test that Lilith performed just yesterday! A single strand of Luz's hair and Lilith's hair was attached, showing a perfect match!

"Sweet Titan, I don't believe it! Luz is your missing kid from 10 years ago?!" Eda said in shock.

Lilith kissed Luz's cheek and hugged her more.

"I thought you were dead for so long!" Lilith said.

"I-I-I....wait no! This can't be right, I'm a human." Luz said, holding her head as something ping inside. "How can I be Lilith's daughter?"

"I think I can answer that, Lucenda. As well as provide a theory of why you were in the human realm." Lilith said as she broke the hug, standing up.

"I believe your mother took you away for safety, as you had power that is unmatched, even by the Emperor." Lilith said.

"Unmatched?" Luz said in surprise.

"I felt it myself the moment you were born. My guess it was for safety." Lilith said with a nod.

"B-b-but..."

Luz held her head in pain, another memory returning. She was four, there was fire, a lot of running something... was chasing her and her mom.

"Now, Edalyn, if you'll excuse me, I would like to bring my daughter home."

"Home, schmome! Even if she is your kid, something is up with her head if she doesn't remember you!" Eda said as she look to Luz, finally noticing the "human" holding her head in pain. "Luz? Are you alright?"

"Lucenda?" Lilith asked, seeing her daughter in pain as well.

"M-My head. It's.....pounding!" Luz said, holding her head with both hands and shutting her eyes.

She screamed in pain and passed out.l
